Old School, Clean, and Still Kicking: Comedy and Culture with Jeff Jena

Send us a text

This week, Jeff and Carollynn are joined by Jeff Jena—a veteran stand-up comic, clean comedy champion, and unapologetic cultural commentator—for a sharp, funny, and totally unfiltered conversation.

Jena’s been doing comedy since rotary phones and Reagan. He’s seen the world of entertainment change—sometimes for better, often for worse—and he’s got stories, opinions, and wisdom to show for it. From working Vegas in the 80s to adapting clean comedy for today’s audiences, this episode covers everything from political correctness to pickleball...with some well-earned rants in between.

🎭 In This Episode:

• Jeff Jena’s secret to surviving 40+ years in comedy
• Why clean comics still have an edge
• The state of free speech and the culture of offense
• What’s changed—and what’s just gotten louder
• Why laughter still works, even when nothing else does

It’s two seasoned comics and one sharp co-host unpacking life, laughs, and the madness of modern times.
