    No one’s perfect, and people have learned and started to do better,... more

    Ok Johnny is working double overtime around the Jimmy Kimmel situation and I respect the hard work, plus I know nothing about football and I don't gamble but his ad drops for this football gambling site are actually enjoyable to listen to and now I find out prescient as well. I actually could have won a lot of money if I took the guys advice on the 49ers game, exactly what he predicted happened! (Star rusher got injured and is out for the season). I gotta say Mr. Mack, you deserve the five stars... more

Trevor Noah Is Fronting a South Africa Tourism Campaign

Andrew Schulz in shorts? ESPYs with Marcello Hernandez. Blue Collar Comics on ‘Woke’ Culture. Tim Heidecker’s Fake Infowars
Q: What was the source of the New York Times headline about Andrew Schulz, and how did you react to it?
I highlighted the headline, acknowledged its presence, and used it to launch a larger conversation about how media brands can inflate a comedian's political persona, then pivoted to critique and context.
David Cross on Intimate Specials, Hannibal Buress’ Music, and Melbourne Comedy Festival Highlight
Q: I have a question, Melbourne. Do you know my key card? The transportation card in Melbourne, right? Do you tap when you take a tram?
The segment explains the importance of tapping the card to avoid fines and to maximize a sense of security and efficiency, turning a mundane city ritual into a humorous but practical topic.
Pete Holmes Talks New Special ‘Silly Silly Fun Boy,’ Standup Craft, and Spirituality
Q: How do you say the title of your book?

Pete Holmes Talks New Special ‘Silly Silly Fun Boy,’ Standup Craft, and Spirituality
Q: Can you talk about that awesome Chicago comedy series at the turn of the century?
There was something about time and place; when you look back in your 40s, you realize you're a product of a time and place, and for me it was Chicago in 2001.
