British Comedienne Jayde Adams joins us to talk about the “depression” trend in comedy, which she has adequately dubbed “sademy,” which is way less fun that sodomy. We talk about Bo Burnham’s not-so-special, and the brilliance that was Jayde’s special on Amazon Prime entitled “Serious Black Jumper."
LA Comedian Chanler Raper joins us for this episode, and the guys quickly jump into discussing their budding cyber friendship. Chanler and Josh have been mixing it up on Twitter for years, so his appearance is long overdue. The hot button topic of the week is the cancelling of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, for reminding people how Asians be. When is this madness going to end? Let’s Discuss.
Josh jumps on the stream to recap his trip to the East Coast, doing Cumia on Compound, visiting the Stand & Joey Roses, East Coast cleanliness (or lack there of), and why breaking a toilet seat isn’t always the rock bottom it should be.
We’re joined by NYC comedian Natalie Cuomo, who joins us to talk about her transition from Theatre Kid to Comedian. Josh forgets that school kids have to get on the subway in New York. We share stories from our early comedy days, including awful early premises for jokes. Josh shares the secret of long term relationships, which centers mostly around giving up.
On this episode of the #DarkestHour podcast, Josh is joined by survivor of human trafficking Eliza Bleu. Eliza does her best to help shed misconceptions about human trafficking; like the myth that they all start with an abduction. Eliza tells us a bit about her activist work, and what lies ahead for her.
Comedic playwright/podcaster…podwriter? It’s an emergent genre, and he’s doing it. Kevin Kautzman joins us from an undisclosed New Orleans Air BNB to talk about his talk about his new Podcast Play “Moderation” which can be found at moderationplay.com. We discuss that, but after Josh spends the first half of the podcast talking about his most recent failed legal endeavor, and what’s wrong with our newfound big brother legal system.
Recently twitter banned comedian Matt Savage joins us on the show to talk about his ban. Surprise! He’s just too Savage. Josh opens the show talking about his recent business dealings, and how his passion for free speech strikes again. Are babies meant to float? We hope so, because they’re going to have to. The guys talk about their favorite standup specials as of late, and wrap up this quick episode talking about the similarities between combat sports and comedy.
