This year, hip hop

0:40

turned 50, which means 2023 has seen

0:43

a lot of celebration of the genre.

0:46

Concerts and festivals and big

0:49

spreads and magazines. Most

0:51

of it's been positive, even fawning,

0:54

praising hip hop's radical history. But

0:57

is that all of the story? How can we say

0:59

hip hop was ever progressive if it was

1:02

always so deeply homophobic

1:04

and misogynist? How? A

1:06

critical take on hip hop at 50. This

1:09

week on Intuit, Vulture's

1:11

pop culture podcast.

1:24

Hello and welcome to Good One, a podcast

1:26

about jokes. I'm your host, Jesse

1:29

David Fox. Ten years ago, I started

1:31

working on a list at Vulture of comedians

1:33

you should and will know. Over

1:36

time, it really became

1:38

a who's who of who's next. Name

1:41

a comedian.

1:42

They were on the list. And for the past three

1:44

years on this show, we've been featuring

1:47

the comedians on the list by doing

1:49

a sort of like mini Good One interview with

1:51

them. Shorter joke, shorter interview,

1:53

but it's just a way to kind of see

1:56

who like your next favorite comedians are.

1:58

And that is what we have for you this week.

3:59

night let's make some sushi with carrots

4:02

in it

4:08

it's not those it's not the little bags

4:10

this big it's so big some it's

4:12

like made of cloth someone cried while

4:14

sewing it together and

4:19

so we go to Costco but do you

4:21

guys know that saying don't go to the

4:23

grocery store on an empty stomach

4:26

yeah because you end up buying too much yeah

4:29

that's the same for us except it goes

4:32

a little different the saying it's

4:34

don't go to the bowl food store

4:37

if you've ever had a communist dictator

4:52

did you buy too much right

4:56

my grandparents and I are all immigrants we

4:58

came here together we came to North America

5:00

together and they lived

5:02

through the communist revolution so

5:05

they have a lot of anxiety and paranoia and

5:07

that transferred on to me because they raised

5:10

me and

5:11

so now I'm a mess of

5:13

a person

5:13

and and I hoard

5:15

rice with my grandparents and

5:17

it's very fun it's it's

5:21

it keeps us on our toes

5:23

and yeah

5:26

that that's why we do it

5:28

it's what what do you

5:30

find funny about it I think it's funny

5:33

because you know

5:35

anxiety is funny generational

5:38

trauma is funny

5:40

anything that

5:41

is out of the ordinary anything that

5:44

normal families don't

5:45

do it's very

5:47

particular

5:48

out of the ordinary

5:50

I think it's very funny so yeah

5:52

any trauma any any

5:56

communist point paranoia

5:57

I feel like we don't have

5:59

that much

5:59

much of it here. We're a very capitalist

6:02

country. How does it reflect

6:04

on what you are trying to

6:07

and hope to do with

6:09

your comedy? I hope to highlight

6:12

my unique voice. I hope to highlight China.

6:15

I hope to highlight Canada,

6:18

America, every facet of my life.

6:21

So I hope it's doing that and my voice

6:24

and my cynicism. I know how ridiculous

6:27

this

6:28

paranoia and anxiety is in my

6:31

family. We look ridiculous. We

6:33

are every day we're ridiculous

6:35

and I want to point it out so I don't go

6:37

insane. I think it's

6:39

important to point things out so

6:42

that you can keep doing it because

6:44

we're still doing it. We're still hoarding the rice.

6:47

I'm gonna point it out so that

6:49

you know that I know that it's there's

6:52

something wrong with it but yeah

6:54

it's a justification. So I'm

6:56

just trying to let my voice shine

6:59

and

6:59

I'm

7:00

find my voice as a Chinese-Canadian

7:04

American in

7:06

America. Yeah thank

7:08

you so much. Thank you Vulture.

7:11

Okay so the story behind this joke is that

7:13

my mom died. I'm part of the

7:16

Dead Bomb Club. My mom said yeah.

7:20

And it's like messed up because after her funeral we all went to

7:22

hip-hop cheat.

7:26

Which is like not what you're supposed to do. That's

7:28

a festive ass meal.

7:30

I

7:33

was touching shrimp in my mouth with tears in my eyes.

7:40

It's like objectively

7:41

comical. My mom

7:45

also died like on Halloween day.

7:48

Yeah people think that's why

7:49

I don't really celebrate that holiday. I'm

7:51

like no I don't celebrate Halloween

7:52

because when you're just up in Hannah Montana

7:54

everybody thought I was RuPaul. Then

8:00

the year after

8:03

that I just went to Steve Jobs.

8:11

Everybody

8:14

thought I was just Rick Ross in a term.

8:22

It was weird because she was the one

8:24

who was doing the cooking.

8:27

So after her funeral no one

8:29

knew what to do. So

8:31

we were like, let's just go to P.F.

8:33

Chang's. It wasn't

8:35

a hibachi restaurant, it was P.F.

8:37

Chang's. That time was pretty much a blur so I don't

8:39

remember much or who did this but somebody

8:42

ordered something from P.F.

8:44

Chang's that sizzled. They ordered

8:46

the P.F. Chang's equivalent of fajitas.

8:50

And that kind of always stood out to me because I'm like, oh that's

8:52

a really

8:53

happy meal to order

8:55

especially after someone dies. I would never think

8:57

to get something that sizzles when

9:00

they bring it out. I was actually upset about that for

9:02

a minute. I was like, wow you really got something that sizzled

9:05

right after my mom died that's messed up. And

9:07

so from there when I was writing the joke I sort of just

9:09

took the original thing that happened and heightened

9:12

it because I like to do that with comedy where

9:14

it's like how do I take this thing and heighten it to

9:17

be the most outrageous that it

9:19

can be. So then P.F. Chang's ended

9:21

up being heightened to hibachi. And

9:24

then I say happy ass meal. And then in

9:26

the setting of a hibachi girl I'm like, okay how

9:28

do I heighten this to be even silly

9:30

or how do I heighten this even more. So then that's where I got

9:33

I was catching shrimp in my mouth

9:35

with tears in my eyes. My mom also did

9:37

die on Halloween day that is true. And

9:39

I don't really celebrate that holiday because a lot of

9:41

the times I'd be sad but also it's because

9:44

I look weird in costumes. I

9:46

like historically have looked just super

9:48

weird. So that also just comes from like

9:50

real life. Like one of the first Halloween costumes

9:53

I ever

9:53

wore was like a pop star with a blonde wig.

9:56

I

9:56

think it might have been Hannah Montana or based on Hannah Montana

9:58

but I was like young. confused as

10:00

to why nobody

10:00

knew who I was.

10:03

I used to tell the Halloween section of

10:05

the joke before my mom died

10:07

and it was kind of just like a standalone joke. And

10:10

I set it up with, my mom used to let

10:12

us dress up as anything we wanted as Halloween and

10:14

it was the same joke. Then after she died,

10:16

I blended

10:17

the two jokes to sort of like

10:19

be one. Because

10:20

I was like, oh, it's crazy that this

10:22

happened on Halloween and I have this

10:24

joke. It did take me like

10:26

years to start talking about it on

10:28

stage but when I did, I was able to blend

10:30

some old stuff and new stuff. I like this joke because

10:32

there's a ton of super silly

10:35

things that surround death in

10:37

a way that's sort of unexpected and you don't

10:39

really see it until it's like you're out of the thick

10:41

of it. You're kind of looking back and you're like, oh my God,

10:43

that was actually pretty funny. So I think

10:46

what works, especially with this joke, is

10:48

sort of the juxtaposition between the trauma

10:50

of losing someone and then these super

10:53

silly, everyday occurrences

10:55

that sort of happen because of it. And that's ultimately

10:58

what I'm trying to be doing with my comedy. I

11:00

want to sort of share

11:02

my truth in a very silly way. And

11:05

some of that, a lot of that can be trauma

11:08

or things that are not fun

11:10

to talk about. But there's always, I

11:13

guess it's a form of self-expression at

11:15

the end of the day, artistic expression. And that can

11:17

be incredibly healing. My name's

11:19

August Fite and I live in Brooklyn,

11:20

New York. I wanted to be

11:22

the mastermind inside candy but then

11:24

I got high the other day and this question

11:27

popped up in my head that I don't really have the answers

11:29

to. So I thought I would ask y'all, so you guys are also

11:31

feminists. You said that's what you think.

11:34

Okay, my question is,

11:36

if there has been seen

11:39

in a theater movie, okay, if

11:41

there's a fighter looking, is

11:43

he mobile feminist or

11:46

less feminist, it's the

11:48

web chute of her breath. So

11:51

you guys, you guys talk about this? Okay,

11:53

you said less, I don't know though, I don't

11:55

know. I hear, okay more, see

11:57

I don't know. There's a tension there.

11:59

isn't there? I'm not totally

12:02

sure either way. Because

12:04

when I was thinking of my work, I know,

12:06

for centuries,

12:09

centuries,

12:11

women have been walking down the street

12:13

and men have been asking, why,

12:17

why, why, question? And

12:19

that question is, what

12:22

them things do,

12:23

right? It's

12:26

infamous, but

12:26

the answer is nothing. I

12:29

think the story behind this joke is

12:31

just that it came from the angry

12:33

feminist recesses of my

12:35

brain where, like,

12:36

one thing I've noticed as

12:38

a performer is that

12:41

if you're a woman in comedy, it feels

12:43

like

12:43

it is illegal

12:46

to not be hot

12:49

and sexy, but then it also feels

12:51

like sometimes it's illegal to

12:53

be hot and sexy. I think that's also true

12:55

for women who are not in comedy, just

12:58

like in Catch-22. It feels

13:00

like this dilemma where, regardless

13:03

of how you present, there's always going to be somebody who has

13:05

an issue with it. And

13:07

the Spider-Man movie had just come

13:10

out when I was noodling

13:13

on this joke. And I think what I find funny about

13:15

it is that

13:16

the first time I told this joke, I was wearing a

13:18

sweater vest and a button down and slacks.

13:22

And I think people thought I looked very professorial

13:24

and serious and sincere. And so for

13:26

then this question to turn

13:29

out to be just like a total

13:31

goofy curveball is

13:34

what I find funny about it and what I think the audience

13:36

is kind of laughing at.

13:38

And it

13:39

kind of reflects what I'm hoping

13:41

to do with my comedy in

13:43

that I hope that people will take

13:46

themselves less seriously and

13:49

leave women alone. So

13:52

I hope that that's what all my comedy

13:55

kind of achieves

13:57

and

13:58

supports.

13:59

hope that that's what this joke does too.

14:02

That was Andrea Jind, Asha Ward,

14:04

and August White. Coming up, we have

14:06

Curtis Cook and Eddie Madica. But

14:09

up next, Brian Bahi. Hi,

14:13

my name is Brian Miami Bahi.

14:15

I currently live in Los Angeles,

14:18

California. I'm 5'8", 144 pounds,

14:23

and I read at a 12th grade reading

14:25

level. I'm Asian passing though, which

14:27

means that everybody assumes that I'm Asian,

14:30

you know, like my family included.

14:32

One time I was at IHOP just

14:34

eating pancakes by myself, as you do

14:37

when you go to IHOP. The waitress

14:39

taps me on the shoulder and she's like, hey, this guy

14:42

over here paid for a meal. I looked over

14:44

to see who it was and it was just an older white

14:46

man who was wearing a hat that said Vietnam

14:48

War on it. He

14:51

clearly just thought it was Vietnamese. Another

14:54

time I was in a deli just like waiting for

14:56

a sandwich to get made. And I was just standing

14:58

there and Asian woman like walks in. As

15:00

soon as she sees me, she like stops in her tracks, like

15:02

locks eyes with me and then immediately like starts

15:04

like crying. And then after like two minutes

15:07

she comes up to me and she's like, I haven't

15:09

seen you in three years. And

15:13

I just like looked at her and I was like, yeah, work

15:15

has been crazy. Like

15:19

I don't know if you remember this, but you do owe me twenty dollars.

15:23

The story behind the joke is

15:26

that people thinking I'm Asian

15:28

is a recurring theme in my life.

15:30

Ever since I was conceived

15:33

like Asian people think I'm Asian,

15:35

non-Asian people think I'm Asian, indigenous

15:37

people think I'm Asian, and

15:41

TBH, like I love Asian people.

15:44

So it's all I'm always just like, okay,

15:47

cool. And so

15:49

these are things that like actually happened

15:51

to me. I was in an IHOP. I was with my

15:53

parents actually and Vietnam

15:55

War hat guy did come up to us and pay

15:57

for a meal and he like shook our hat.

15:59

our hands, you

16:03

know, after he did it, which was great.

16:06

And then the other time I was in a bodega

16:09

and a woman did come up to me crying and

16:12

eventually she did show me the Facebook

16:14

profile of the guy who she thought I was

16:17

and I was on her side because I'm like, yeah,

16:19

I get it.

16:22

So what's funny about this? I mean, it's funny

16:24

because it is basically just like

16:27

a classic like

16:29

sitcom style mix up. In

16:31

a way, it's just like,

16:33

yeah, you saw one thing, but it's

16:35

actually a different thing. And like,

16:38

when,

16:39

when people think I'm Asian, it's like it's very harmless,

16:42

like,

16:42

lol. But like these, for some

16:44

reason, these two times, like it felt like the stakes

16:47

were a little heightened. And

16:50

just like I felt like I was knew

16:52

so much about this person's

16:55

past, like immediately just

16:57

based on like what the

17:00

the actions that they took. And

17:02

I was just like, okay, this

17:04

is a lot for

17:07

me. But, you know, I

17:11

was happy to go on that journey

17:13

with them. And sometimes

17:15

when like a mix up like that happens, and you're

17:17

a standup comedian, it really is your

17:19

job just to like, tell the

17:22

tale as it happened.

17:23

My goal in comedy is to make

17:26

points. I do want to just

17:28

like fully destroy audience members

17:30

through crowd work. JK.

17:33

What I want to do with

17:35

comedy is, I just think

17:38

if you're going to a comedy show, you probably

17:40

just want to see a different perspective

17:43

on things. Like I don't think you want to see eight different

17:45

versions of the same person.

17:47

And so hopefully

17:50

I can just like be, you know, that

17:53

olive branch that bridge that like,

17:56

kind of shows audience members that like, hey,

17:58

being Native American, be being gay

18:00

is actually like really like cunty and flay.

18:04

Hi, my name is Curtis Cook. I'm

18:06

from Ohio, but I currently live in Los Angeles.

18:09

I had a chance to go on vacation with

18:11

my wife recently. We decided

18:13

to go to Africa, because here's a black American,

18:15

you go to Africa, but deeper understanding of your place

18:17

in the world. We decided to go to Sierra Leone,

18:20

because the cheapest place you can get to in Africa. And

18:22

then we got there, we learned that because race works differently

18:25

in different cultures, and my wife and I are both so

18:27

light-skinned, we are considered white people

18:30

in Sierra Leone. And it

18:32

was the greatest vacation I've ever

18:34

taken in my life. Like if you haven't

18:36

been white before, you've never lived. Like

18:39

I was walking around, people were giving

18:41

me the benefit of the doubt. At

18:45

one point this old African man explained slavery

18:47

to me, because he thought I'd never heard of it. He was

18:49

like, what happened is your people stole

18:51

my people and took them to

18:53

America, where they're still not treated equally today.

18:56

And I couldn't think of anything smart, so I

18:58

just went, that's crazy.

19:00

And

19:02

the thing, nobody ever warned me that being white

19:04

goes straight to the head. Like I've been black in

19:06

America the whole time, and frequently I'm frustrated. Like,

19:08

yo, I don't think this motherfucker's do more than other complicity

19:10

is the root of the problem. I was white

19:13

in Africa for three days before

19:15

I was like, why would I change a perfect

19:17

system? The

19:20

story behind this joke is that years ago, I

19:22

was in Africa to film something, and my wife got to come

19:24

with me on one of the trips. And before

19:27

we went, I kind of practiced letting myself

19:29

open up to the possibility that I might have a deeper,

19:32

more meaningful experience while I was there. Instead,

19:34

we got there, and my wife learned that we are white

19:36

people in that part of Africa. And

19:40

at this point, I'm just retelling the joke

19:42

more boringly, so there you go. What

19:45

do I think is funny about it? Well, absolute

19:48

power

19:49

corrupts absolutely, and I think that

19:51

shit is hysterical.

19:53

How does it reflect on what I'm trying to do in

19:56

comedy? You know, on a personal level, there's like

19:58

a lot that I'm trying to do.

19:59

with my stand up. I like everybody else. I

20:02

have inspirations and goals

20:04

for myself. But to be perfectly honest, the

20:07

main thing I'm trying to do with my stand up right now is

20:09

go viral. Because if I don't

20:11

go viral more often, then clubs

20:14

are never going to get back to me about my booking emails

20:16

and they're going to kick me out of comedy. So like

20:18

yeah, on the creative side of things, there's

20:21

a lot of things that I would like to be doing and that I

20:23

have aspirations towards. But I

20:25

think most importantly, my Instagram handle

20:27

is at Curtis Cook Comedy and I am

20:29

practically begging you to please follow

20:32

me. And you can just mute me right afterwards

20:34

if you don't like me at all. But at

20:36

this point, I either have to hand her

20:38

for followers in any way possible or start

20:41

a podcast. And no disrespect to this podcast.

20:43

I really don't want to start one. So that

20:46

said, thank you for having me.

20:49

Hi, okay. So this is Edie Modica

20:51

and I'm answering the questions about

20:54

my clip. I've had this little shaver

20:56

like a it's called the bush bomb.

20:59

Get it. It's amazing.

21:02

Um, because it goes close, but not all

21:04

the way, but you look shaved.

21:06

Um, and I was shaving

21:09

like, my pubes were like, puffed

21:12

out. So I was being bold

21:14

and I was like, I'm just gonna hover it.

21:17

You know what I mean? Like try to get all one length by

21:19

hovering, but then I kind of slipped.

21:22

So now I have not seen what

21:25

that looks like in a long time. Um, but

21:28

I mean, this is also say it's so

21:30

interesting. The little crest at

21:33

the very crest of the pussy

21:36

that goes in like the hair there really

21:38

sticks out like very

21:41

straight because it's like, because it's

21:44

normal hair, normal hair, but it's on this

21:46

curve. It doesn't know what to do. It's

21:48

like,

21:49

don't think there's much

21:51

of a story. You know, when

21:54

I perform, I like to do something new every

21:57

time. Um, and if I'm, I

22:00

can. And like

22:03

right before going on stage, I was like,

22:06

Oh, yeah, I was shaving my pubes earlier.

22:08

And then I was like, man, what

22:10

what like, I was just thinking about that

22:12

area of the I mean,

22:14

it's literally in the it's not even a joke. I'm

22:17

literally just being like, isn't the

22:19

hair in the crest of the pussy

22:21

interesting? Right, everybody?

22:23

Can we all agree on that? And

22:27

I don't know. And for

22:29

some

22:29

reason, people are laughing at it. And

22:32

what do I find funny about it?

22:35

I have a hope that

22:37

it's relatable. I like

22:41

talking about my body

22:44

and relating

22:46

to others

22:47

about that. And this kind of leads into

22:49

the next question, which is how does it reflect what

22:51

you're trying to do slash hope to do with your common d. I

22:54

feel like I like talking about

22:57

the things that are disgusting

23:00

or that I have problems

23:02

with my body in hopes of making

23:04

everybody else, the audience feel

23:07

seen or related to. And

23:12

just to make others feel like they're not

23:15

alone in being foul,

23:18

disgusting, having, you

23:20

know, sharp hairs in

23:22

the crest of their pussy, having long

23:24

tits that are melting off them onto the floor.

23:28

Just stuff like that. And

23:30

I think that's why it

23:33

is funny, because people

23:35

are like, Oh, my god, there's my

23:38

pews are like that as well. Oh, I

23:41

don't feel as bad I want people to feel good

23:45

about themselves. Or at

23:47

least we can commiserate together about

23:50

why we feel bad. That is it.

23:53

Okay, thank you.

23:55

That was Brian Bahey, Curtis Cook, and

23:58

Eddie Modica. Coming up, we have Jordan Jensen

24:01

and Jordan Temple, but up next, Fumi

24:03

Abe.

24:04

Hi, this is Fumi Abe and I'm coming at you live

24:07

from Los Angeles, California. Thanks for coming

24:09

out. Yeah, I'm Japanese. I speak Japanese, but

24:12

I grew up in America, so the Japanese

24:14

that I speak, I learned it through textbooks

24:16

and Japanese school. My parents made me go on Saturdays.

24:19

So what that

24:19

means is my Japanese, it's not bad,

24:22

it's actually pretty good, but it's very

24:24

formal and I realized the other day, it

24:26

is so

24:27

formal that even when I want to date with a

24:29

Japanese girl and I'm trying to fuck, I

24:32

felt like I'm trying to get her to sign the Treaty of Versailles.

24:34

You know what I'm saying? Like

24:37

I was at the school recently, the Japanese girl, we were like

24:39

dancing at the club and she says to me, do

24:41

you like the way that feels in like a very sexy way?

24:44

And what I wanted to say back was yes, that feels amazing.

24:46

But what came out of my mouth was I

24:47

derived many pleasures.

24:54

I'm going to be honest up top, this didn't actually

24:56

happen. This joke was actually inspired

24:59

by this embarrassing moment

25:01

I had when I had just moved to New York City

25:04

when I was 18 years old for college.

25:06

I'd gotten a job at a Japanese restaurant where

25:08

everybody working there was from Japan,

25:10

so they didn't really speak English and we were all communicating

25:13

speaking Japanese. And I obviously

25:16

speak Japanese, but I learned it

25:18

in American. I haven't really

25:20

used it outside the context of like school or

25:22

family. And so while

25:25

I was working there, a lot of people there would make fun of me

25:27

because everything I would say would sound very

25:29

formal. And I remember

25:31

one of the girls who worked there who I had a

25:33

crush on thought that she actually

25:36

used the word creepy. She thought it was creepy that I was

25:38

doing that because apparently you're not supposed to do that

25:40

with people who are your own age. So

25:43

I just, this joke is sort of that

25:45

moment that I had, that embarrassment that I felt,

25:48

but sort of applied to this fantasy

25:51

of oh, what if I went on a date with that girl who was

25:53

creeped out by the way I spoke? What

25:55

other ways could I be creepy in

25:57

a higher stakes situation?

27:57

Did

28:00

you tell him? No!

28:08

Don't look at your fucking girlfriend

28:10

like

28:10

that. It

28:17

pertains to every one of you. There's

28:20

no story

28:20

every time men

28:22

get you close to coming, they fuck it up.

28:25

Okay.

28:26

Yeah, there's no story behind it. The

28:28

story of my life, maybe. Okay. What's

28:31

the... What do you

28:33

find funny about it? Mmm,

28:36

that's like looking in the mirror and trying to find

28:38

what I like about my face. That's a little...a little hard

28:40

to do. What do I find funny

28:42

about it? I find

28:44

it funny

28:46

that it happens a lot and

28:48

none of us...and I say

28:50

it and people agree.

28:53

To be honest, I was trying in

28:55

the bin like this

28:56

and I was so

28:58

stoked to be able to...you never

29:00

get to show your other skills on stage and

29:03

I was so excited to be able

29:05

to go there and

29:06

go...and then I used

29:08

to go like

29:09

a sardrum and then I used to say, bring in the

29:11

hi-hat, bring in the sardrum and

29:13

then a certain comedian who

29:16

I won't name but his name rhymes with Louis

29:19

CK said, hey, why don't you just make

29:21

drum noises? And I was like, that's not gonna

29:24

hammer work. And I immediately

29:26

switched to doing bum-bum-bum and it made

29:28

it better.

29:30

I got a scopolous vasectomy

29:32

recently. Please hold your applause.

29:37

Basically, what they do is they take

29:40

the vas deferens out of the scrotum,

29:42

which are the

29:42

tubes that carry

29:44

the sperm

29:46

through from the testes to

29:48

the dick

29:50

and

29:51

they put a clamp over that and then they

29:53

sever the vas deferens. That's the vasectomy,

29:56

or as I like to call it,

29:58

the anti-nic cannon. I

30:00

went in, the urologist

30:02

had a lab coat on, made a bald skin.

30:06

He

30:06

was like, you know,

30:08

just so you know, I also

30:11

do prostate

30:12

exams.

30:15

As if it was a jiffy lube. It's

30:18

like, aren't you a unicorn? Not a lot of blacks

30:21

get the sanctomies. I was like, I

30:23

don't think you should be saying that.

30:26

That was Fumi Abe, Jordan Jensen,

30:28

and Jordan Temple. Coming up, we

30:30

have Maggie Winters, Natalie Rodder-Lightman,

30:33

and Charlie Bardet. But up next, Katrina

30:35

Davis.

30:36

Hi, my name is Katrina

30:38

Davis, and I live in

30:40

Los Angeles. I've also

30:43

been accepting how horrible

30:45

I am at getting myself places.

30:49

I have an awful sense of direction. There's

30:51

nothing I can do

30:52

about it. I'm sorry. Like,

30:55

you don't have to say anything, but you can just point if you happen

30:57

to know right now which way north is.

31:00

Does anybody know one person? There's no reason for

31:02

you to know. There's too much light blue then. We can't even see

31:04

that star. Why does this matter? It's

31:07

so gone.

31:09

Why did this become a thing? Like,

31:12

I'll ask my friends where something is. It's like,

31:14

oh, where's that bar we went to last time? It's like, oh, you

31:16

just go out on fourth and go south. Okay, first off,

31:18

Magellan, what do we?

31:19

Never

31:25

set sail

31:25

to a bar. This isn't helpful at all.

31:28

Like, if

31:28

I picked you up and told

31:32

you to get in on

31:34

the

31:34

starboard side of my car, you'd punch me in

31:36

the throat. I don't know why.

31:40

I don't know why nautical terms are

31:42

okay all of a sudden. So

31:46

the story behind this

31:48

joke is

31:49

just my lifelong frustration with

31:53

having a horrible sense of direction

31:56

and no general bearings.

32:00

I get lost super easily. I haven't

32:02

gotten any better at it with time.

32:04

I get lost just

32:06

as easily now as I did when

32:09

I was learning to drive as a teenager.

32:12

And so I've since just radically

32:14

accepted this as a flaw

32:17

that I have ingrained in me.

32:21

I think what I

32:23

find funny about it is

32:27

how innate

32:28

it seems to other people having

32:30

a sense of direction. So they try to like,

32:33

it seems to be so lost on them

32:35

that they, there are a lot of people that

32:37

think that they have the solutions. Like

32:39

I've had people

32:40

try to teach me little

32:41

tricks of

32:43

how to always know which way

32:45

north

32:45

is. None of them make sense

32:47

to me. I don't know how I'm supposed

32:50

to know which way the ocean is facing

32:52

if I can't see the ocean.

32:55

Like it doesn't make any sense to me. People

32:58

assume that I'm really bad at direction

33:00

because, or bad at directions

33:02

because of phones, because

33:05

everyone uses their phones. But I am

33:08

old enough to have at least had a

33:10

few years

33:10

where I had like MapQuest

33:15

directions printed out to like

33:16

go to friends houses and things like

33:18

that. And I could not follow those.

33:20

I was really bad at them. There's way

33:23

too many name options for interstates and

33:25

highways. So there

33:27

were multiple times in high school where

33:29

I would like have directions to

33:31

go somewhere and like to

33:33

a party or somewhere, get

33:36

really frustrated and lost. Just

33:39

turn around and come home and my mom would be like,

33:41

oh, how was the party? And I would just lie and

33:43

tell her that it was fun. But really, I hadn't

33:45

gone anywhere. I had just driven

33:47

around in my Jeep alone

33:50

on the verge of tears trying to figure out

33:52

how to get on like 95 South. So

33:57

yeah, I think with this and

33:59

a lot of my other. jokes I probably just

34:01

like want people to understand

34:03

how my mind works a little bit

34:06

better. It's just been

34:08

nice to connect

34:10

and feel less alone on something

34:13

that's

34:14

a negative. I

34:16

feel like we focus so much

34:18

on honing in on our best skills and

34:21

putting everything that we're good at forward

34:23

that it's just kind of freeing

34:26

to joke with someone after a show

34:28

about how they've also had to

34:31

have a friend drive them around a parking

34:33

lot for an hour looking for their car and

34:36

just be like I'm bad at this too. You

34:38

know

34:39

that's just kind

34:41

of nice.

34:43

Hi everybody this is Maggie Winters

34:46

coming at you from Chicago, Illinois home

34:49

of the bean. Hi welcome

34:51

to Slappy's how may I help you? Hi yeah

34:54

I'll do a lemonade and then what's

34:56

your soup of the day? The soup of the day?

34:58

Ah soup of the day. You know I saw the

35:01

chef making

35:01

yesterday it looked so

35:03

good. Oh

35:04

my god I love that what what was he making?

35:06

Who's making the soup of the day? You're

35:09

gonna love it you're really gonna love it. What is

35:11

the soup? What is the soup of the day? Wait why

35:14

are you do you have my haircut?

35:16

I don't know I mean why do

35:18

you have my shirt on? This is America I'm allowed to

35:20

wear whatever shirt I want. I mean you're not

35:22

wrong can we just get the chef out here can you just tell us what the

35:24

soup of the day is? Yeah I'll go get the chef

35:26

but

35:27

guess what? What?

35:31

You're the chef. Oh my god

35:33

I said god again. Yeah

35:36

I know time to get to work.

35:39

Wait before you go what's the soup of

35:42

the day? Probably something fucked up like clam

35:44

chowder. I submitted what I

35:46

call the soup sketch.

35:48

Sketch term used

35:50

loosely here I don't know if we can legally

35:53

call it that but I created

35:54

this a few days after my 33rd birthday

35:56

my Pippin year I was

35:59

at

38:00

Trudia, huh? You must bitch.

38:03

Okay, I didn't mean to start singing. Um,

38:06

thank you guys so much. Mwah!

38:09

Okay, what is the story

38:11

behind

38:12

this, Charlie? A man and his son are driving,

38:14

they get into a car accident, they bring

38:16

the man... The dad dies on impact. The dad

38:18

dies on impact. And I know

38:20

it's tough, but... Honey, the dad dies on impact. Okay,

38:25

the son is rushed to the hospital, rushed

38:27

to the ER, the doctor takes one look at

38:29

the boy and says, I can't operate on this boy.

38:32

This boy is my son. How's that

38:34

possible? Do you guys know? The

38:36

mom and

38:37

the dad are...

38:39

The mom and the dad are... But

38:42

in the weird

38:42

case, it was literally like, the dad...go!

38:44

Like,

38:48

it...like, we were... It

38:50

was like, the dad died on impact,

38:52

but did the dad die? Because

38:54

the dad did die, he was in that

38:57

hospital. But you're like,

38:59

the dad died on impact, he died his hair

39:02

on top of the impact. For his shift

39:04

in the hospital, where you were? It

39:07

was a technically momentary death

39:09

back to life. He was technically dead

39:11

for two seconds, he meditated him. So

39:14

he just

39:14

walked in. He drove

39:16

separately, medicated at the hospital,

39:18

and was like, what?

39:19

I can't operate on this boy. Is that what

39:21

happened

39:22

from our crash? Yeah. But I'll tell you

39:24

something, I did this to my cousins

39:26

who are younger now, and you know what they say?

39:28

What? They say two dads.

39:31

Two dads. Two gay

39:31

doctors. Two dads. And they're like, it's two dads.

39:34

We got your little trick. And that's what happened,

39:36

I think, because Hillary didn't win.

39:46

Yeah.

39:49

Well, I

39:51

don't want to start like that. You have to. No.

39:53

Charlie.

39:54

The story behind it is this is a clip from our live

39:56

show. Right. Basically. And I think one

39:59

of us have put in the idea of...

39:59

idea or it was you you have put in

40:02

like one of us remember yeah

40:04

I'll take that

40:05

about this thing and

40:08

that's the story basically as we talked

40:10

about on stage we

40:10

think that it's like often with our riffing

40:13

that they're like oh like you scripted this yeah

40:15

and we didn't we just had the idea initially and then explored

40:18

it right and that's kind of right

40:20

period right and what do I find

40:22

funny about it basically

40:24

um

40:26

god what's not funny

40:29

next question no way I can say no

40:31

no okay well I don't actually know

40:33

how does it reflect what we're trying to do

40:36

I think it reflects it in that it's definitely

40:38

just like us talking on stage

40:41

no exactly well I think I really like

40:43

about it and what actually makes me laugh about the clip to go

40:45

back to the question from before about what's funny about it

40:48

is that it's like it's like I should do

40:50

have something is that we were really

40:52

laughing it's like I'm laughing in it

40:54

right it's the whole year yeah well people

40:57

don't know about comedy is that actually like

40:59

when you see someone laugh you're gonna laugh it's what's

41:01

like like obviously like friends and parts

41:04

and right he's been laughing on yes exactly so

41:06

it's like with friends and parts direct and parks

41:08

and rec they're funny but it's like you know it's even funnier

41:10

the bloopers because you're like I'm hanging

41:12

out with Phoebe buffet or Lisa Kudrow

41:15

in this case

41:15

right right yeah I think that's a good point

41:17

like people

41:19

underestimate the power of the bloopers

41:21

right exactly why isn't the whole movie bloopers

41:23

right exactly and that's a kind of feel like there's

41:26

an energy but can I actually say

41:27

something sometimes when I see people laugh

41:30

on stage

41:30

it's very it can be

41:32

like the Jimmy Fallon yeah and can you believe

41:34

that out yeah well I

41:41

feel like yeah

41:43

maybe

41:44

if it's such I don't know sometimes people make a

41:46

joke and then they laugh at their

41:47

own joke and I'm like stop doing that right

41:49

we do that yeah exactly let us do it first

41:51

it's a tricky balance and there's definitely have been times

41:53

with like you and I have been like ha ha ha in the

41:55

audience is like can you let us know yeah

41:58

and so but this one works because because it was like the

42:00

audience was with them. Right, right. They were wanting to

42:02

hear it.

42:03

Something I don't like about it is like,

42:05

it's kind of like

42:07

nostalgic,

42:08

which is like, we don't always do that stuff.

42:11

I think the real one's true. Like this is

42:13

something that we all remember from childhood.

42:15

That's like, I don't like that shit.

42:17

Okay. You're literally

42:20

constantly talking about like, when I was in

42:22

camp in 2004. No, I know, I really

42:24

don't agree with that. Right, exactly. We do things

42:27

all the time that we don't agree with. It's mostly all it is. It

42:29

has been so amazing to be a guest on this. Yeah.

42:31

So thank you so much. All right, talk soon.

42:35

That was Katrina Davis, Maggie Winters,

42:37

Natalie Rotter Lightman, and Charlie Bardet.

42:40

Coming up, we have Opie Alabaju and Rachel

42:42

Cauley, but up next, Nimesh Patel.

42:50

Hello, Jesse here. I want to take

42:52

a brief moment to let you know that I wrote a book

42:55

and it is coming out on November 7th. Hi,

42:59

hi. It's called

43:01

Comedy Book, How Comedy Conquered Culture

43:03

and the Magic That Makes It Work. It was inspired

43:05

by all the interviews I've done for a good one

43:07

these last six plus years, as well

43:10

as a decade plus of watching and studying

43:12

comedy. This book is me

43:14

making the case for comedy as an art form that can

43:16

be analyzed and thought deeply about. I

43:19

talked about a lot of comedies that's been

43:21

made the last 30, 40 years. And

43:25

if you like this show, I really think you'll dig it.

43:27

I put a lot of time in my brain and myself

43:30

into this book and it would

43:32

mean so much to me for you to read it. So

43:34

you can pre-order Comedy Book, How Comedy Conquered

43:37

Culture and the Magic That Makes It Work, wherever

43:39

you buy books, but we will include a link

43:41

in the show notes so you don't have to wildly

43:44

Google. So thank you for your time.

43:46

I really appreciate it.

43:49

There's a story sailors used to

43:52

tell of mysterious rogue

43:54

waves rising out of nowhere

43:56

in the middle of the ocean,

43:59

but it was always just...

43:59

a story

44:01

until New Year's Day, 1995.

44:05

The Drogner Deep Sea oil platform

44:07

had been weathering a miserable storm

44:09

for

44:09

hours. But then, suddenly,

44:12

an 85-foot wave rose

44:14

out of the sea. This wave

44:17

was impossibly steep, a

44:20

nearly vertical wall of water

44:21

as tall as a seven-story

44:24

building.

44:26

The first rogue wave to

44:28

ever be reported. But

44:31

how do

44:31

giant walls of water spring

44:34

out of the ocean, seemingly

44:36

out of nowhere?

44:39

This week on Unexplainable, the

44:41

reality behind mythical rogue

44:43

waves. Follow Unexplainable

44:45

for new episodes every Wednesday.

44:57

This is Nimesh Patel, stand-up

44:59

comedian from Brooklyn. People will come up

45:01

to me like, are you worried about chat

45:03

GPT impacting comedy? The

45:06

truth is, not at all. Chat

45:08

GPT will definitely change

45:10

comedy, for sure. What's gonna happen is stand-up

45:13

will become a lot more personal. Because,

45:15

you know, chat GPT can write topical

45:18

jokes. They can write jokes about the news,

45:21

they can write all the kind of late night shit

45:23

that you see that's pretty easy to write. The

45:26

only stuff that's gonna remain in the

45:29

ether is personal stuff. Because chat GPT

45:31

can never write a joke about something like being

45:33

molested, you know? That

45:37

requires a human touch.

45:44

I was having sex with this robot, really

45:47

pushing all its buttons. Up, up, down,

45:50

down, left, right, left, right, ABC at the

45:52

same time. And when we were done

45:54

laying in bed, having to smoke,

45:57

robot asked me. Nimesh,

46:00

how do you stand up comedy changing with

46:02

the advent of artificial intelligence? And

46:06

I gave it the answer that then became the joke. And

46:08

then we went

46:11

right back down to pound town. Clank,

46:14

clank, clank, clank, clank. Question

46:17

two. What's

46:19

funny about the joke?

46:22

The punchline.

46:25

Question three.

46:27

What do you hope it reflects about your

46:29

comedy? That

46:32

I can keep writing funny nonsense.

46:36

About what people are thinking about

46:38

and what makes me chuckle.

46:41

That's what's most important.

46:44

Thank you.

46:45

Have a good day.

46:46

Yo, what up? This is Opie and currently

46:49

I reside in LA.

46:51

I got an Android phone. Apparently that's bad. We

46:54

the most discriminated group in America. If

46:57

you have an iPhone, you racist and you know it. Y'all

47:00

just freak the fuck out. Every time I go in a

47:02

group chat, y'all act like we're trying to integrate an all-white

47:04

school. You

47:07

freak the fuck out. You act like we lowered the property

47:09

value of shit. Like

47:11

all because of the color of our text. That's literally

47:14

discrimination. Like

47:16

I get discriminated more for having an Android for

47:18

being black. It's true. It's true.

47:21

If I got shot by the cops because I thought my

47:23

phone was a gun, you would be upset. But if you

47:25

find that it was an Android, you'd be like, well. I'm

47:29

not going to march for that guy. I

47:32

don't even like my phone. Now what I love about my phone is

47:34

how much it pisses you off. That's what I love. I

47:36

love that little bit of inconvenience. It brings your whole

47:38

fucking life just to talk to me.

47:40

Yeah. You want to send me a high-quality photo.

47:43

You better email that shit bitch. You

47:47

want to FaceTime me. You want to FaceTime me. Download

47:49

WhatsApp you thirsty slut. Go

47:52

ahead. Go ahead. Send me that voicemail. I'm not going to get

47:54

it for three days. And

47:56

when I do, I'm going to respond back with a dry ass

47:59

LOL.

47:59

period lowercase just to let

48:02

you know I think that shit was fucking funny. The

48:04

story behind my Android joke is that I

48:06

have an Android and a lot of people in my

48:09

life were so diddy because they have an iPhone

48:11

so I just started getting annoyed at how

48:15

you know arrogant they were acting

48:17

and their constant

48:19

urging of me to get an iPhone so

48:22

I decided to write about it. I think the

48:24

funniest part about the bit is to point it like the absurdity

48:26

of how people will find a new way to just be prejudiced

48:29

to someone over a fucking phone that

48:31

they didn't even invent.

48:32

I also just like

48:34

that it's honest you know I get to the real

48:36

reason why most people with androids don't get our

48:38

phones and you know it's because we're prideful

48:40

and

48:41

we don't want

48:43

we like the fact that

48:44

people have to work to communicate to us

48:46

with us you know it's just

48:49

I feel like it it's kind

48:51

of just

48:52

to do that through comparing it

48:54

to racism is just very very funny to me. I

48:57

think it really reflects what

48:59

I'm trying to do with comedy because for me it checks

49:01

a lot of what I'm looking for like I'm

49:04

talking shit I'm playing on how stupid

49:06

society can be and I'm also like

49:08

kind of exposing my personal flaws and that

49:11

like I'm a prideful

49:13

guy who doesn't want to switch his phone

49:15

and make it easier for people in his life. I think

49:18

that's very funny and just very honest.

49:20

But yeah that's pretty much it.

49:23

Hello my name is Rachel Cauley

49:25

and I'm humiliated to say

49:28

that I am truly between

49:31

New York and LA

49:32

and I'm sorry to say that. We're

49:34

all looking for something. Yeah. Definitely.

49:37

I have a daughter that's strange for me

49:39

I'm missing that part of

49:41

me. How

49:41

do you say I

49:43

will be your father in Hebrew?

49:46

I'm a father. I'm

49:48

a father. You're a father.

49:50

Amazing.

49:52

Oh my god. Wow

49:53

that's perfect. That's

49:56

it. Will that be held against me in a court of law? No

49:58

no.

49:59

I had finally found a father

50:02

figure and since we realized that having

50:04

a father means you probably won't be gay I

50:06

needed to make a few corrections to what I had

50:08

been trying to tell my dad I went back

50:10

to the photographer and had him take pictures

50:13

of me with a different flag a flag that

50:15

filled me with pride in my new identity

50:17

as a straight American who was legally obligated

50:20

to serve in the IDF Should I ever go to

50:22

Israel? I had one final stop

50:24

to make I needed to set the record

50:26

straight

50:32

I just need to write another one

50:36

The

50:43

story behind what I submitted

50:46

is it's basically from a longer

50:48

video that I made About

50:50

coming out to my dad who I'm estranged

50:53

from and I haven't talked to him in like five years And

50:56

I've gone on a trip with my

50:58

sibling a few months earlier and

51:01

We didn't know the area and

51:03

so we booked a bunch of like Airbnb Experiences

51:06

and it was so funny

51:08

because it was just like it's led by just like regular

51:11

people who aren't professional

51:13

Professionally tour guides or whatever and

51:16

they were just so

51:18

Interesting and like had

51:20

these passions and I was just like cornered

51:22

with them for hours And I was

51:25

like I need to make a video with these people So

51:27

for this video I hired a photographer a songwriter

51:30

and a guy who was offering tours of Hasidic Brooklyn

51:33

Off Airbnb experiences and we worked

51:35

together To help

51:37

me come out to my dad who of

51:39

course never answered but hopefully has seen it

51:42

and hates me more for it. I

51:44

Think what's funny about

51:46

it is that I'm taking a thing that causes

51:48

me real pain and is basically ruined

51:51

my life You know my relationship with my dad

51:53

and my ongoing journey with

51:55

my identity And use

51:57

it as a way to connect with people and make

51:59

myself

51:59

look like a complete loser because

52:03

these people

52:03

from Airbnb were so

52:05

nice and genuinely you know

52:07

wanted to help me come out to my dad even though

52:09

I was extremely weird to them and

52:11

I loved talking to them and I loved seeing

52:13

their humanity because

52:16

they really kind of met the brief and

52:19

I think it's funny for me to humiliate myself.

52:24

I love making man on the street videos

52:26

and like toying with scripted versus

52:28

non-scripted stuff like I'm always

52:31

looking for fathers in my

52:33

videos

52:34

and dealing with men in

52:36

them and I think being like a small

52:38

queer person is a unique point

52:41

of access for like a style of comedy

52:43

that is pretty much only ever been done

52:45

by white guys because I think people talk

52:47

to me differently and treat me differently and it's

52:50

just a funny and unique

52:52

form that I think definitely needs to be diversified

52:55

because it's so much more interesting

52:56

when it is and then besides

52:59

that you know I'm basically always

53:01

thinking about how do I only

53:03

ever punch it myself and

53:06

how can I be pathetic and just

53:10

I don't know it's just funny for me to be as low

53:12

status as possible in the real world and see

53:15

how people meet me where I'm at

53:17

and also I think to just

53:20

talk to people like how can I find

53:22

a cross-section of real people you know

53:24

who I can consensually showcase and play

53:26

with at my expense and I think it's

53:29

just funny.

53:31

That was Nimesh Patel, Opie Alabaju

53:33

and Rachel Cauley. Coming up we have

53:36

Ralph Barbosa, Richard Perez and

53:38

Rob Hayes.

53:39

My name is Ralph Barbosa and

53:42

I currently live in Dallas, Texas. My

53:44

favorite of the more modern-day rappers is

53:46

Quavo from the Migos. If there's anything

53:49

he says sounds badass man. I

53:51

like this song called Kelly Price because in that first

53:53

verse Quavo comes out swinging. He's

53:55

like I go through all the cities I'm on

53:57

a mile a minute I go a mile a minute.

54:00

And when I'm sober, that shit's tight. But

54:03

when I spoke a little bit, I started doing the

54:05

math. I was

54:12

like, yo, a mile

54:15

a minute. That's 60

54:18

miles an hour. I

54:24

was like, yo, did this dude just brag about driving

54:26

across country at speed limits?

54:28

The

54:34

story behind the Quavo joke,

54:37

the song Kelly Price is a song my buddy

54:39

Jaime showed me, and I really liked

54:41

the song from the first time I heard it. And when

54:43

I really liked the song, I'll play it just over

54:46

and over again for days. But

54:48

once I played it over 30 times, I

54:50

started to overanalyze the lyrics. And

54:53

I don't know. I just came up with a silly

54:56

joke about it, and people seem to like it.

54:59

What I find funny about

55:01

it is that, I mean, I know it's slang

55:04

for something else, but the

55:06

slang just sounds like the

55:09

most square sentence

55:11

ever to me.

55:13

It's supposed to be code. It's

55:15

supposed to

55:16

be slang for

55:19

what I believe is

55:20

driving across

55:22

the country with dope.

55:24

So you're driving that speed limit, but I don't

55:26

know. It just sounds like such

55:29

a humble, square flex to me. What

55:32

it reflects, what I'm trying to do with my comedy, I think,

55:34

I mean, my comedy, in my

55:36

opinion, is very silly, very goofy

55:39

observations. And I think

55:41

that was one of the goofiest

55:43

observations I could find. And

55:46

I get a lot of people telling me, like, you know, that's not

55:48

what it really means.

55:50

You don't understand street code. Like, I

55:52

understand it,

55:53

but that's why it's so goofy.

55:56

It's something so serious,

55:58

but it sounds silly.

55:59

so goofy and I think even when I talk

56:02

about more serious subjects

56:05

or stories about my own life, even

56:08

the ones that have to do with

56:11

the crime adjacent people in my family, I

56:13

still try to make them as goofy as I

56:15

can. It's all just very goofy to me.

56:18

Hi, my name is

56:20

Richard Perez.

56:22

I am based in New

56:24

York City. What's your name? Doug.

56:27

Hi Doug. Hi Doug. Hi

56:30

Doug. Hi

56:30

Doug. Hi Doug. Hi

56:33

Doug.

56:33

Do you mind if we talk for a minute and I'll

56:35

work with you? No, I don't mind at all. You don't mind at all? Thank

56:38

you so much. I say friend, who

56:40

comes to mind for

56:41

you? My

56:44

friend Zoey's. I

56:46

had dinner with him yesterday. Zoey?

56:50

Yeah. Hey Zoey.

56:51

What did you have for dinner? Um,

56:56

I'll cook. You cooked?

56:58

No. You know, I love

57:00

eating. You

57:06

can find out I'm disgusting

57:08

at eating.

57:15

Thanks Doug. Had

57:17

a little bib on. You

57:24

know, logo on it. Sorry.

57:32

We're getting

57:34

close to our time. Zoey's

57:39

over there. Okay. You

57:41

made dinner, Zoey. The story behind

57:42

this video is that I've been doing this crowd

57:46

work show and I've only

57:52

done

57:57

it twice so far, but I'm doing it again.

57:59

in

58:00

October and it's so

58:03

fun and scary and chaotic. I

58:07

basically just like get on stage and I'm like, okay,

58:09

so how's everyone doing? Sure,

58:13

an hour. And there's other things

58:15

like mixed in there, but

58:18

with this

58:20

clip, what

58:23

I found so funny about it was that,

58:28

I don't know, this is all just like

58:30

going off instincts. Like this

58:33

audience member reveals to me that

58:37

they cooked for their friends and then

58:40

I make it flirtatious a little bit, but

58:44

then instantly, I don't know,

58:47

I think it's funny to kind of just paint

58:49

a picture of like how grotesque you can be

58:53

eating. I kind of just like

58:55

chose to make it about if

58:59

I did have dinner with you and

59:02

you find out I'm like gross at eating, I

59:04

don't know, like I just kind of like building on it. So

59:07

it just made me laugh

59:09

while I was doing it and

59:13

enough felt good. How

59:15

does it reflect what you're trying to, okay.

59:19

I think what, I

59:21

think it reflects how I

59:23

am trying to, just

59:30

get looser on stage, bridge

59:33

the gap between how you joke with your

59:35

friends and or

59:37

you can like, you know, make

59:41

people laugh in an intimate setting

59:43

to then bring it to

59:45

the stage and you know, in front of an audience. And

59:49

I think it's all just part of

59:51

me trying to like hone in

59:53

and discover more of my comedic

59:56

voice and I don't

59:58

know, just keep expanding. on what makes

1:00:01

me laugh and

1:00:03

what feels funny and good

1:00:05

to do on stage.

1:00:07

So

1:00:09

yeah, that made me feel good. It

1:00:11

makes me laugh.

1:00:13

Y'all ever think about caterpillars? No.

1:00:18

You never think that a caterpillar that

1:00:20

becomes a moth

1:00:22

thinks it's gonna be a butterfly? Like

1:00:26

it's just eating leaves all day like I'm gonna be so

1:00:29

beautiful. I'm gonna

1:00:31

be so pretty. People

1:00:34

are gonna let me lay on their kid's face. I'm gonna be so cute.

1:00:36

I guess when the cocooner's

1:00:39

like, oh, I'm gonna be so many colors. I'm

1:00:41

gonna be so many colors. I

1:00:45

better get my beauty rest. I'm

1:00:47

gonna be on the

1:00:49

cover of Science Book, I'm

1:00:51

gonna be so cute. It just wakes up

1:00:53

like a moth. I even consider this. Look

1:00:55

at that light. I think the caterpillar

1:00:58

joke is

1:00:59

it says deeper, as shallow as you wanna

1:01:02

make it. I think for

1:01:04

some people it's just a joke about caterpillars.

1:01:07

For other people it's a joke

1:01:09

about

1:01:10

trying to fit in or

1:01:13

thinking your one thing or only

1:01:15

being presented with one thing

1:01:18

and actually learning

1:01:20

that there's a whole wide

1:01:23

spectrum. And I

1:01:25

think that joke came to be from

1:01:28

where I started in doing stand up

1:01:30

in Atlanta and feeling

1:01:32

like in front of

1:01:34

me is only one path or one

1:01:36

way of doing stand

1:01:39

up for me knowing that

1:01:41

there has to be other

1:01:43

options. There has to be other

1:01:45

choices because of

1:01:48

my taste because I like so many other

1:01:51

things that maybe I'm

1:01:53

trying to be a butterfly but just a

1:01:56

moth the whole time. Sometimes

1:01:58

I would do the joke.

1:01:59

in front of people that I knew would love it. And

1:02:02

other times I would do the joke just to spite

1:02:05

the people in front of me who did

1:02:07

not understand what I was doing anyway.

1:02:10

And sometimes that would create tension

1:02:13

that would lead to laughs. So

1:02:15

I like the duality of that. I like that

1:02:17

I have a joke that's about one thing,

1:02:20

but can be taken to

1:02:23

a whole nother, deeper place, but

1:02:26

doesn't have to necessarily be

1:02:29

that deep either. And I

1:02:31

think that's the beauty of comedy

1:02:34

when done properly. And that's

1:02:36

why I chose it. I think it reflects

1:02:38

who I am as a comedian, what

1:02:41

I do, the randomness of me, but

1:02:43

also things are

1:02:46

intentional, you know, if you

1:02:48

look into them. That

1:02:50

was Ralph Barbosa, Richard Perez,

1:02:52

and Rob Hayes. Up next we have Sabrina

1:02:54

Wu, Sophie Buddle, and Sophie

1:02:56

Zucker.

1:02:58

In the United States, there is a

1:03:00

critically acclaimed, widely taught children's

1:03:03

book. I was forced to read nine million times, Tiki

1:03:05

Tiki Tembo. The first

1:03:07

sentence of that book is, there once

1:03:09

was a Chinese boy named Tiki Tiki

1:03:11

Tembo, no saw, Rembo,

1:03:13

cherry berry, root, she, pip

1:03:15

berry, pembo.

1:03:17

No, there wasn't.

1:03:18

I

1:03:23

have a Chinese

1:03:23

brother, his name is Kevin. And

1:03:28

when this white author was confronted, I was like, oh my God, I'm so

1:03:30

sorry, I don't speak Chinese. I just wrote down what I heard

1:03:32

my neighbors say. So we're gonna do

1:03:34

a group

1:03:34

experiment where

1:03:36

I'm gonna say real Chinese. And then at some point I'm

1:03:38

gonna switch to not quite Chinese, but

1:03:40

I won't tell you when, you tell me when.

1:03:43

Oh, well, then. I don't

1:03:45

know. No. Tiki

1:03:50

Tiki Tembo, y Vere, r okay? Make

1:03:52

sure you don't tell me.

1:04:01

This Chorizo Hannah joke is already

1:04:03

sort of in the one, um,

1:04:06

teachers bring us… um, we

1:04:08

read Twenty- alarms,

1:04:09

and honestly, there was times where, do

1:04:12

not make TP's right.

1:04:15

I don't do TP's because I need Harry Dean,

1:04:17

ummm. But, yeah,

1:04:19

I mean… we, I would

1:04:22

sing along like, I would sing the whole slur,

1:04:24

and, um, and

1:04:30

I mean, so I just sort of lived in the back of my brain for a while. I

1:04:32

kind of forgot about it, and then when I was out 20,

1:04:34

a friend came over, and we

1:04:37

were talking about media that didn't age well,

1:04:39

and somehow like, TP-TP resurfaced

1:04:42

into our, like, conscious,

1:04:43

uh, mind, and

1:04:46

at first I was like, oh my god, remember TP-TP?

1:04:51

And then I just

1:04:51

had that moment, like, oh my god, there's like

1:04:53

no way that's a Chinese book, like…

1:04:56

Cherri- like, Tiki Tiki Temba,

1:04:58

cherry berry, rue cherry berry,

1:05:00

like,

1:05:00

that's not Chinese, and

1:05:03

like, you know, my last name

1:05:05

is Wu, it's one syllable, and then

1:05:07

I just did a bunch of research into the book

1:05:10

just to like, make sure this crazy

1:05:11

racist, obviously racist book actually

1:05:14

existed. Um, yeah,

1:05:17

and I just, I immediately became obsessed with trying

1:05:19

to write some kind of bit about it.

1:05:21

Um, what I find

1:05:23

funny about this bit is that I think my joke

1:05:25

is so

1:05:26

obvious when I'm like, oh, I'm

1:05:28

not gonna tell you when I switched to real Chinese, you

1:05:30

tell me when, like, I feel like y'all should know

1:05:32

where it's going, but everything else in my

1:05:34

life will be like, a lot of group of

1:05:36

white people that like, automatically gasp

1:05:38

at them, and they'll be like, and it will like,

1:05:41

have the energy of like, I'm fucked,

1:05:43

I'm so fucked, like, and just like,

1:05:46

their HR department is like, right

1:05:48

there. Um,

1:05:50

I just think that's funny, but I

1:05:53

don't know, that they're just so scared,

1:05:56

it's a comedy show. Um, how does

1:05:58

this reflect what I'm

1:05:59

trying to do it in my comedy. I mean, I definitely

1:06:02

like putting people in it. I

1:06:04

love my comedy to make me feel comfortable

1:06:06

and instead induce panic attacks,

1:06:09

actually. But I do, I am

1:06:11

really proud that this bit

1:06:13

is so engaging. It's really

1:06:16

examining a very familiar idea where, you

1:06:19

know, when people say things like, you

1:06:22

know, like, it's so obviously racist. Everyone

1:06:24

would feel it. Like, people are like,

1:06:27

yeah, it's racist, but it's not

1:06:29

true. And I think this bit

1:06:32

just really because it's like not

1:06:34

that educational. It's just showing you like plain

1:06:37

and simple through like a structure,

1:06:39

like a...it's just...it's just like a

1:06:42

group of people.

1:06:43

It's just like a drama, that's crazy.

1:06:46

But I'm sorry about that. I'm

1:06:48

sorry about that. I think it makes me

1:06:50

feel

1:06:50

really good. I think

1:06:53

it's been a lot of fun to do with my comedy.

1:06:55

I do like comedy about...I bet any family,

1:06:58

like, culture, like, things have a lot

1:07:00

of comics too. I think

1:07:02

it's really nice that I can do it in a particularly

1:07:04

engaging way and I can like clear

1:07:06

up with you. I'm sure that that makes

1:07:09

me feel extremely fresh

1:07:14

and like poignant, I don't know, like,

1:07:16

but yeah.

1:07:18

Alrighty, best Chicky Chicky Comedy!

1:07:22

Hello, what's up? Hi, I'm

1:07:25

Sophie Buddle. I am

1:07:28

from Canada, but I now live in

1:07:30

Los Angeles, California. Welcome

1:07:34

to my portion of the podcast.

1:07:36

But yeah, okay, so you know when your boyfriend, or

1:07:39

whoever,

1:07:39

comes

1:07:42

on you...do you

1:07:47

have that here? On to

1:07:51

your person. Right?

1:07:55

You know when your

1:07:56

boyfriend comes on you and then he goes

1:07:58

to go get the thing, right?

1:07:59

And you look at

1:08:02

how small his butt is, hahaha.

1:08:03

Right?

1:08:07

Isn't it always smaller than you're expecting it to be? Why

1:08:11

is it

1:08:11

so small? It's just like the crack is so

1:08:13

short.

1:08:16

My boyfriend's whole ass is just a line.

1:08:18

Not

1:08:20

me, my butt crack goes up so tall all the way up.

1:08:23

All the way up mine goes, I got my ponytail stuck in it.

1:08:29

One of our guys, they're like, I'm an ass man, I'm a good

1:08:31

crack, but... The

1:08:33

sides, they like... The

1:08:37

meat they're looking for. Any

1:08:40

crackheads in the house tonight?

1:08:44

So, the joke that I submitted

1:08:47

is very silly,

1:08:49

very sexually

1:08:53

motivated. The

1:08:55

story behind it is basically started

1:08:58

dating my boyfriend, and when he would,

1:09:00

you know, mmm, onto my body, onto my

1:09:02

person, he would go sometimes

1:09:06

and get a warm cloth and come clean it up, and

1:09:08

that had never happened to me before. And

1:09:11

I guess because

1:09:13

while I was waiting for the cloth

1:09:15

to come, the water to heat up, I

1:09:17

had a lot of time to think, and it

1:09:19

ended up turning into a joke. And

1:09:22

I figured because I had

1:09:24

never gotten that before,

1:09:26

probably there's other girls and boys

1:09:28

that had never gotten that before, and, you

1:09:30

know, it

1:09:31

makes sense that guys are not all doing

1:09:33

that. I know a lot of guys that don't even wash their face,

1:09:36

so they might not know that it would

1:09:38

be nice to get a warm cloth after something

1:09:40

like that. That's not their fault. They're not

1:09:42

doing that for themselves. Why would they seem to

1:09:44

do that for somebody else? But

1:09:46

when people hear about it that have

1:09:48

not been doing that, I think that it really

1:09:51

changes the world. I think that a lot

1:09:53

of people started doing that after hearing my

1:09:55

joke. It's the joke that I get

1:09:57

the most messages about.

1:09:59

Like, you know, after they see my show, whether

1:10:02

it's the night of or like a few nights later, I get a lot

1:10:04

of messages from girls that are like, oh

1:10:06

my God, we were at your show. And then my boyfriend just

1:10:08

did the warm cloth thing. And so

1:10:10

that's how everyone gets to find out that they're

1:10:12

loved, which I think is very nice. And I think

1:10:14

that guys should do that if they want

1:10:17

to be in that situation more often. I feel like

1:10:19

why would you not want it to be luxurious?

1:10:22

But when my boyfriend started doing that for me, obviously

1:10:24

it was so nice.

1:10:26

Wrote a whole joke about it. He loves it. He loves the

1:10:28

attention. But once in a

1:10:30

while, he'll not do the warm cloth, like

1:10:32

if we're on the road or if it's taking

1:10:34

like a long time. We're both comedians on the road. But if

1:10:37

it's taking like a long time to heat up, he won't do it.

1:10:39

And I'm like, I guess I got to

1:10:41

stop doing that joke. And he's like, no,

1:10:44

we can keep doing it. So that's

1:10:46

lots of fun. So that's sort of the story

1:10:48

behind the joke. What do I find funny

1:10:51

about it? Like, my favorite part of the joke

1:10:53

is

1:10:54

when your boyfriend first walks

1:10:56

away to go get it and you look at how small

1:10:58

his bed is, to me that's my

1:11:01

favorite part because it is

1:11:03

so, so small. How do you get such a small

1:11:05

number one? And also it's

1:11:08

a time that like you would maybe assume

1:11:11

girls would feel sort of

1:11:13

vulnerable or embarrassed

1:11:16

or I don't know. It means the wrong word,

1:11:18

but just, you know, you're there with someone you,

1:11:20

that's kind of whatever. And so

1:11:22

you'd think that the girl would feel kind of embarrassed. And then

1:11:24

you're saying your boyfriend's about so small. Now they're

1:11:27

the ones that are embarrassed. So it's good to know

1:11:29

everybody's embarrassed. And even

1:11:31

my boyfriend was like, I thought he was like,

1:11:33

I thought I had a big butt. Like, I guess he thought

1:11:35

that he has a really shapely butt, which I don't

1:11:38

know who told them that. But just men don't

1:11:40

have body issues, I guess. And there's nothing wrong with

1:11:42

having a small butt. He's got a small

1:11:44

butt and it's fantastic. And

1:11:48

then the final question was,

1:11:51

does this joke accomplish

1:11:53

what I want in comedy,

1:11:56

which is like,

1:11:57

really, I realized that I had never

1:11:59

thought of it.

1:11:59

about what I'm trying to accomplish in comedy, which

1:12:02

is something that

1:12:04

I need to work on. But I think I just, my

1:12:07

first instinct is that I want to accomplish

1:12:10

people laughing pretty hard. And this

1:12:12

joke does that. Yes, it makes people laugh pretty

1:12:14

hard. So I'm

1:12:16

pretty happy with it. I you

1:12:19

know, this is a lot of people's favorite joke of mine.

1:12:21

It keeps getting like longer

1:12:23

and shorter. And like there's detail, I used to have

1:12:26

details about, you know, other things

1:12:28

that I've gotten, there's a big

1:12:30

chunk of that joke that was cut out of

1:12:32

that taping because it was, you know,

1:12:34

a whole other thing like, like

1:12:37

to me, there's just a lot of fodder in comedy

1:12:39

and

1:12:39

in that moment that everybody has sort of sat

1:12:42

in.

1:12:43

And I think that it's a lot of fun.

1:12:45

And you know, a lot of people say, oh, female

1:12:47

comics only talk about sex. And

1:12:49

that's true. And it's because we're so good at

1:12:51

it.

1:12:53

Okay, so this character is

1:12:55

named Aunt Divina. I do

1:12:57

her independently

1:12:58

as like her own character, but she's also a part

1:13:00

of my one woman show Sophie sexface.

1:13:21

And

1:13:28

she is basically a stand in for all these

1:13:30

people in my life who basically

1:13:32

when they find

1:13:39

out I do comedy, they immediately

1:13:41

just want to grill me about

1:13:44

counselor culture.

1:13:45

It's not really based on any

1:13:47

one person in particular. But my

1:13:49

aunts and uncles when we get together, it doesn't matter

1:13:52

what the gathering is or what is happening

1:13:54

could be a funeral or could be a birthday. They love

1:13:57

arguing with me about separating the art from the artist

1:13:59

and we don't. like what is consent? Like that's

1:14:01

what we get into and they just like talking about it with me

1:14:03

because I'm a comedian but we'll talk about everyone

1:14:05

under the sun not just the comedians who have been canceled.

1:14:08

I think you know it's like people

1:14:10

who assume that I

1:14:11

have really strong opinions

1:14:13

about cancer culture just because I do comedy.

1:14:15

So that's basically

1:14:17

where it came from. I realized

1:14:19

that you know a lot of people in comedy

1:14:21

talk about cancer culture but we don't necessarily

1:14:23

talk about talking about

1:14:25

cancer culture and so

1:14:27

that's sort of what interested me.

1:14:30

What I think is funny about this character

1:14:32

is that she is so pissed

1:14:35

that she can't consume the

1:14:37

media she wants to because

1:14:40

of like all of these cancel men and it's

1:14:43

very

1:14:43

funny to me to watch someone who's like

1:14:45

really serious about prioritizing their

1:14:47

own private enjoyment you know they're

1:14:49

like I have to watch the Brett Ratner movie over

1:14:52

like de-platforming and abuser.

1:14:55

This particular clip is funny to me because

1:14:58

like she's so mad

1:14:58

that she doesn't even know what she's mad about you

1:15:01

know she's mad that everyone

1:15:02

is talking about someone named David

1:15:04

Chappelle

1:15:04

but like she doesn't even know who he is and

1:15:07

she thinks that like his you know articles

1:15:09

being written about him are getting in the way of like

1:15:12

real news stories which I do kind of agree with

1:15:14

but then you also learn

1:15:15

that she like doesn't really read the newspaper and

1:15:17

has no idea what's going on anyway in

1:15:20

the real world. So

1:15:21

this character

1:15:23

reflects what I

1:15:25

try to do in comedy which is like to

1:15:27

point out kind of political

1:15:30

or moral inconsistencies but to do

1:15:32

it through goofy characters

1:15:35

you know I do think there is a lot to be

1:15:37

said about cancer culture but it's not really my style

1:15:39

to get up and just like recite an essay

1:15:41

or a diatribe. I'd rather come at

1:15:43

it from like a silly kind of like myopic

1:15:46

view you know I'd rather like talk about

1:15:48

human behavior and sort of invite conversation

1:15:50

in that way rather than like definitively

1:15:53

tell people what I believe in on like

1:15:56

the broadest

1:15:56

topic known to man. You know it's kind of

1:15:58

like the same reason why

1:15:59

You would never hear me do stand-up about like

1:16:02

the general idea of like dating,

1:16:04

but I would do a character about a girl

1:16:07

who's like throwing a great Gatsby themed party

1:16:09

and hopes that like her crush will show up dressed

1:16:11

as you know, Jay Gatsby.

1:16:14

That was Sabrina Wu, Sophie Buttle, and

1:16:16

Sophie Zucker. Coming up we have Zach

1:16:18

Zimmerman and Zach Zucker. But

1:16:20

next up is Stavros Yalkias.

1:16:22

Hello

1:16:23

my name is Stavros Yalkias. I live

1:16:25

in Queens, New York,

1:16:27

Baltimore, Maryland, and hotels across

1:16:29

America. Yeah, I don't know though. I'm 32,

1:16:31

you know, maybe it's time I started doing some gay

1:16:33

shit, you know? Looks

1:16:36

like fun, you know? Like no one's ever come

1:16:38

in my mouth, but I love an over-easy egg.

1:16:40

How

1:16:43

different could it really be? Be

1:16:46

honest with yourselves right now.

1:16:47

It's probably pretty close.

1:16:49

Throw a little

1:16:51

Tabasco on the guy's cock, you know what I mean? Take

1:16:55

me to brunch, big dog. There's

1:17:00

some pissed off dudes in the crowd right now. Horn

1:17:04

scramble from now on. I

1:17:07

will not have gay eggs.

1:17:11

You know, I don't know. This joke

1:17:13

just

1:17:14

kind of happened because I was eating brunch.

1:17:18

I was having an over-easy egg,

1:17:20

and I thought to myself,

1:17:22

this is probably what it feels like. You

1:17:24

know, like a whole yolk

1:17:26

just kind of busted in my mouth, and

1:17:28

I thought to myself, this is probably

1:17:30

what a dick

1:17:31

must have been about, feels like.

1:17:34

And it was the thought that made me uncomfortable

1:17:37

and giggle at the same time.

1:17:40

And I was like, we got something here. I didn't

1:17:42

really have a point to it. I happened

1:17:44

to notice it in June during

1:17:47

Pride Month, so I was just doing a couple

1:17:49

jokes

1:17:50

to open up my shows about that. And

1:17:53

it's really that simple. I

1:17:57

just thought it might be a funny idea. That's

1:17:59

really my writing.

1:22:00

White salsa for you. Gets

1:22:02

back in bed, no greater joy than eating in bed.

1:22:04

Dips it in, brings it to her lips, expecting that

1:22:06

sweet buttermilk he's alike. And

1:22:08

she's greeted by the sour, rancid,

1:22:12

taste-bud attack of

1:22:15

Ranch's ugly stepsister. She

1:22:18

spits it out on the cum-covered

1:22:20

comforter.

1:22:24

Cocks her head back to the Myrtle Beach moon.

1:22:27

Wakes up Brad and in a rage and she will only see

1:22:30

during their first child's birth and subsequent divorce

1:22:32

proceedings says,

1:22:33

that bitch gave me blue

1:22:35

cheese!

1:22:38

And that bitch is my mom, that bitch is Patty

1:22:40

Zimmerman. So this is one

1:22:42

of the first jokes I ever

1:22:45

wrote when I started standup, when

1:22:47

I moved to New York some six, six

1:22:49

and a half years ago. And it is completely

1:22:52

true. My mother's been a server red lobster

1:22:54

for 40 years. She is

1:22:56

a hoot. She jokes that

1:22:58

she wants to write a book called Things You Could Have Fired

1:23:01

Me For, but now it's too late. She

1:23:04

is shameless and open and

1:23:06

flirty and playful with her tables.

1:23:08

And she totally did this

1:23:10

to this woman. And so I think what

1:23:13

she did here is objectively funny. And then

1:23:15

I wanted to build on it with

1:23:17

this imagined heightened scenario

1:23:20

where I essentially roast these two people

1:23:22

that stiffed my mom, but

1:23:25

roasted it in, or roasting

1:23:27

them in sort of heightened

1:23:30

literary language. Like,

1:23:32

come cover, comforter, come on, who doesn't love

1:23:34

that? That tickles you in a place, you know, you've never

1:23:36

been tickled before. And

1:23:39

so this was one of the first

1:23:41

then clips on TikTok of

1:23:43

mine that went viral. And just

1:23:45

the outpouring of love for my mom was

1:23:48

so fun to watch. A

1:23:50

couple of folks even went into the restaurant,

1:23:52

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina's Red Lobster, to

1:23:55

ask for my mom. And people were commenting, I've

1:23:57

had her as a server. It

1:24:00

was just such a beautiful celebration

1:24:02

of her, which

1:24:04

is something I hope to do

1:24:06

with my comedy. I want to

1:24:09

shine a light on my

1:24:11

upbringing, this southern conservative

1:24:15

upbringing with working class

1:24:17

individuals. My

1:24:19

mission statement is to write

1:24:22

queer anti-capitalist stories that delight

1:24:24

and devastate. And

1:24:27

while this isn't queer, Courtney and

1:24:29

Brad seem to be heterosexual, though Courtney is

1:24:32

unsatisfied. It's definitely anti-capitalist. I

1:24:35

get to rant against them when I'm a wage, which is

1:24:37

just ridiculous. And

1:24:40

then at the end I call my mom a bitch.

1:24:42

So it shows like, oh, I'm

1:24:44

a little mischievous and playful, just

1:24:47

like my mother is. And we're potentially

1:24:49

more similar than

1:24:52

different. But yeah, this is one

1:24:54

of my favorite jokes. I hope you like it.

1:24:56

It's been fun to do over the years.

1:24:59

Like the aristocrats,

1:25:03

it gets longer and longer every time I

1:25:05

do it. And I love adding little

1:25:08

twists and shades and then new eras

1:25:10

for this couple that exists,

1:25:14

but exists in the Zach

1:25:16

Zimmerman stand-up comedic universe now as

1:25:19

characters that I draw upon.

1:25:21

Tip your servers. That's my last word.

1:25:23

What's up, guys? My name is Zach Zucker.

1:25:25

I am currently in London, but I live in

1:25:27

L.A. But

1:25:31

I'm kind of always bouncing between New York, London, L.A. I'm

1:25:33

sort of strategically nomadic, because

1:25:36

the polite way of saying I can't really afford to live

1:25:38

anywhere that I go.

1:25:43

Hey,

1:25:46

look though, I just want

1:25:49

to be clear I was obsessed with

1:25:51

making women comes. This

1:25:56

clip is a joke from my latest solo

1:25:58

show Spectacular Industry Showcase.

1:25:59

which I made with my friends Lucas Tamron

1:26:02

of Thomposaurus, Johnny Woolley

1:26:04

of Breath of the Wild 2 fame platinum and

1:26:07

Dylan Woodley super fan of Dylan Brand. Dylan

1:26:09

Brand is a premium lifestyle experience solutions company.

1:26:13

Yeah, and this joke it's a really silly little

1:26:15

dumb joke. It's the

1:26:17

setup is kind of I kind of talk about how like I've

1:26:19

never said anything truthful on stage before which

1:26:21

is true. And I don't really like

1:26:24

to share anything honest. Or

1:26:26

maybe this is the lie, who knows? And

1:26:29

this part comes in a section where I talk about

1:26:32

just being a bisexual performer. Okay, literally

1:26:34

riveting and this is

1:26:36

just a joke here about sex about not

1:26:39

making women come and

1:26:41

it's not about what

1:26:44

I guess you would think normally it's about which is

1:26:46

that the inability of guys to

1:26:48

be able to do this or You

1:26:52

know, it's nothing I can relate to obviously

1:26:55

but not because I'm like going

1:26:57

out here I'm a coming machine or a come

1:26:59

making machine but because I

1:27:02

would never make a woman do anything

1:27:04

if she wants to sure go for it me

1:27:07

I come every time it feels great and

1:27:10

I highly recommend everybody else does it too. What

1:27:13

am I hoping to achieve with this joke? Oh, you know, just trying

1:27:15

to like

1:27:16

Spread awareness, you know, that's not the end all

1:27:18

be all

1:27:20

You know, I'm trying to change the world, you know, I'm trying to

1:27:22

change the world with this joke I

1:27:24

think I think I think if enough people

1:27:27

listen to this joke, we could really come

1:27:29

together and solve a lot of

1:27:30

Problems, you know, there's

1:27:32

a grain crisis foods rising

1:27:34

gases up oils up Google

1:27:37

utopia guys and a

1:27:40

Utopia what about our topia? So

1:27:43

that's what I'm trying to achieve with this joke

1:27:45

here. And I think if you watch it enough

1:27:48

One I mean

1:27:49

we have a chance

1:27:50

And what do I find funny about it

1:27:52

actually really nothing? I don't really find

1:27:55

anything about living in a perfect utopia I just

1:27:57

kind of want that I think it'd be nice

1:27:59

to solve all the world And if we could do that with

1:28:01

my joke, I mean, how epic would that be

1:28:03

for me?

1:28:04

I'm the guy that solves world problem.

1:28:06

Problem.

1:28:08

You know

1:28:09

what I mean? Little callback to my friend

1:28:11

Julia.

1:28:12
