"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....

"After doing all those shows, doing all my jokes, all of them. I am in this place now where I'm like, cool, done. I'm done forever. And I know what that feeling is and I know I'm not done forever. And I know in a couple days I'll be back again, but sorry, my cat is scratching at my salad bag. Yeah, I'll be back. I will be back."

"Well, the other day I went to the local bar. Saw a sign on the door said no minors. I thought that was. That was pretty messed up. They're out there working hard, powering trains and shit, making the world go choo choo. Mother trucker. And they can't even have a beer after work. Ridiculous. I'm out."

"It's a response that so many people have brought to bear over the past, you know, hundred years of us kind of marking what culture does in times of stress and of debilitating depression. 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.

"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.

"And I'm doing it today because I want to ask so many questions to Julie golden and Dana Weddle, who are the geniuses behind the joke, which is a community they're building of comedians so that we can get to know them more and understand the craft and kind of get behind their strategies and into their souls, and I don't know, know who they are. I never have taken comedians for granted."

"I grew up watching comedy with my dad. I grew up going to comedy shows. Well, the ones that I was legally allowed to attend. 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."

"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.

"I have to admit, I kind of follow him and I was, you know, but just kind of enjoying and putting in air quotes the shtick that he and his cohorts have. 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'm only curb stomping you because I love you, son. So. So now I think. I think it's good to get the hooked idea. Maybe I. I think it's also good. 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."

"But I do know. I think women's body autonomy is priority. And if you can't get on board with that, you know, I think. 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.

"As far as embellishing a joke, I think. I think it's kind of necessary. 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."
