Great talk with an old friend, Andy Huggins. The King of the One Liners. Andy’s had a breakthrough with his great special ‘Early Bird’ and on AGT. He’s just flat out funny. Enjoy this episode.

Also, come see us both live, this Sat. at the Ice House in Pasadena

Standupworld # 105 Adam Hunter.

SO… WHAT’S IT LIKE WRITING JOKES FOR DONALD TRUMP?

There are writing jobs.

Then there are writing jobs where you sit down at your computer and think:

Okay. What would Donald Trump think is funny?

My guest this week on STANDUPWORLD is comedian Adam Hunter, who actually got hired to write comedy material for Trump.

That alone was enough for me.

I wanted to know how you write jokes for somebody with such a recognizable voice. Do you write what YOU think is funny? What HE thinks is funny? Do you hear his voice in your head while you’re typing?

Adam tells me how he got the job, what he wrote, and what happened when Trump actually used one of his jokes.

We also get into stand-up, Gutfeld!, politics, writing for other people and the increasingly bizarre business of trying to make people laugh for a living.

This Monday show is going to be one of our best ever!!

Here’s the Nuggets is my take at digging for the gold in the best episodes of the best podcast out there. Sifting through the two to three hours for you, giving you the cliff notes with a little humor so you can decide if you want to listen to the whole episode.

Luckily I’m starting with a banger, which will be two parts. Joe Rogan’s masterful talk with Dave Smith and Douglas Murray is so worth listening to completely. There’s a reason everyone is talking about it. I broke out what I think is the meat of it so enjoy it and let me know what you think and what you think a good podcast to dig for gold would be for this format.

Thanks,

Mike

Also, as always, if you’re in LA: Monday’s at the Laugh Factory!

This isn't a special. Or a reel. It's just a set from one night at The Laugh Factory. No cuts or anything. It was just fun. I hope you like it.

Come see me live on Monday nights at the Sunset blvd club. Mike Binder and Friends.

This weeks show is a winner.

Matt’s a New York comedy beast. He’s sharp, dark, and funny. He’s on the podcast talking about BOLO his awesome special on You Tube, that’s something truly worth checking out.

It’s Matt at his best: raw, real, and ripping into life’s absurdities with a signature edge the New York Times called “button-pushing” and “funny.” His style’s a mix of cerebral gut-punches and pitch-black humor. We’re diving deep into how he crafted this one, what it’s like to sling jokes in today’s world, and why he’s one of the smartest voices in standup right now. Plus, you know me I’ll drop in something totally awkward and non-sensical and bring the whole thing to a dead halt.

Watch the podcast then check out BOLO

AND… IF YOU’RE IN LA MONDAY NIGHT AT 7:30

DANE COOK, DANNY JOLLES, DWIGHT PRYDE, and CHAR RAMTIN are with me on the show. Come out and have fun.
