Not My Favorite Ep.16: Fighting In The Comment Section

One time I owned a super model in an online fight! What is your crowning achievement on the internet? It seems like the internet is only for fighting over idealogical differences and who is always in the wrong. We break down some of our online past and we talk Knicks winning the chip! One comic. One mic. One producer who won’t stay quiet. This is a solo podcast about comedy, culture, and the weird position of trying to be a thinking person in a very stupid world. I break down what’s happening inside the comedy scene, what’s happening outside it, and where a working stand-up fits in the middle of all of it.

Occasionally my off-camera producer jumps in to fact-check, argue, or make things worse. If you like stand-up, behind-the-scenes comedy talk, and a comic trying to figure out where he belongs in the circus, this is for you.

Not My Favorite Ep.14: New York Stories
