Click here to reply to @BehindTheJoke "Hi, guys. I just ran across this episode of Radiolab presents. Science versus it is super fun. They sort of take a scientific approach to what makes a joke funny, and then they are on the search for the funniest joke in the world. And it's pretty cool. So take a listen on where is It Apple Music. I'm sure you can find it on Spotify. I found it on the Radiolab podcast, so take a listen."

And we see people rising up with great acts of beauty. So I feel like comics really do that. We create moments that lift spirits. And when you lift a spirit and that spirit moves away from you and goes to the next moment, you don't know what spirits they're going to lift."

Click here to reply to @MarcS1971 "He's not gonna be busting out jokes every 18 seconds. It's not how it works. Think about a true comedian is he's not a joke teller or she's not a joke teller. It's about telling stories, right? You think of the great comedians out there. You don't remember jokes per se, but you remember punchlines, you remember stories, you remember things that they said while they're telling a story. So that. That's what I think."

I never have taken comedians for granted."

My thoughts on what I saw were totally inappropriate, I believe. Wrong place, wrong time, for sure. I believe that. And I'm not going to say who's responsible. I mean, people are invited and they do what they do when they get the mic."

The one I've included in this is from Rolling Stone magazine, who's quite reputable. And I feel like all of the media, even Fox, had something to say about it that was not praiseworthy, which is pretty funny considering what we're talking about. Right."

But once I turned 18, 21, I was going to a lot of shows in Los Angeles. The Comedy Store, the Improv, the Laugh Factory. Whenever there was something that I wanted to go to, I would try to go out of my way and get there."

And I have a lot of lived experiences to know how this feels, to hear it when you're the people that are at the butt of the joke. And I think the climate in our world right now is not, no, just leave it on stage as a joke. I think we're at a time where there's no distinction between entertainment and news anymore. It's one thing, and that's why the Apprentice became president."

Click here to reply to @DanaWeddle "There's this thing in the comedy, that comedy sphere with Skank Fest and all of that. It's just not for me personally, that is not where I'm going with comedy. This, like, shock factor things that I've heard, these, like, grotesque things that are happening on stage at Skank Fest. It's just not my scene at all. And it's a real bummer to see those videos and to see him talking about, I mean, just spewing hate speech."

I just thought, oh, it's meta. It's ironic. But I have to say, seeing him on stage at an actual Trump rally, like, shilling for him, was just so disappointing. And all of a sudden, these jokes didn't feel like jokes at all."

I don't think abuse is good, but, you know, a little corporal punishment. No, I. I think. I just don't think that there's enough tough love. And I'm not saying that tough love means you need to, like, berate or abuse your kids in any way."

I think they're going to offer vasectomies for free right now. You should go get one down. Yeah, I'd like to get a vasectomy, but what I'm worried about, actually, is if they clip my sack or they snip my testicles. We're adults here. We can say these words."

We have this new bucket slot that we put up, so our comic friends will come and be there, and they get showcased, and they get guaranteed spots on our next shows.

I think that, you know, not everything that happens to us in life, it comes out perfectly formed and perfectly funny. We. It's our job to make a joke, so we gotta punch it up, which means we have to, you know, give it a funny, lean opinion, perspective, whatever."

But I think the one universal truth is that the greatest feeling in the world is making people laugh. So that in and of itself is the drug folks."
