[00:04:29] Comedy and Controversy
---

Josiah: we can, we can start with the one topic. I, I didn't send this to you, but One of the rallies right before the election. Donald Trump had a comedian open for him.

Josiah: It was Kill Tony, Tony, uh, what? Hinchcliffe. Yep. We've talked about him on the show before because Doug, like, I think, binged Kill Tony. Like, watched it all the time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he made this comment. I'm sure you've heard about it, about the, um, the floating pile of garbage in Puerto Rico.

Josiah: was Puerto

Josiah: Rico. That was Puerto Rico. Right. And everyone's like, Oh, that's it. You know? Well, a lot of backlash. What do you, what do you want to call that?

Doug: I think it was people who didn't know who Tony Hinchcliffe was. Yeah,

Josiah: right. They don't know he's an insult

Doug: Anybody who knew who he was was like, oh, he's just doing his tone. The thing that I felt worst about with that performance and that, that, that whole set was he was in Madison Square Garden and his jokes were bombing in front of an audience that they were specially for.

Doug: Like that that was material that only they should have been

Josiah: laughing at. You mean like MAGA crowd?

Doug: well. Yeah, that's what he wrote it for and and He was in Madison Square Garden And you can you can hear the silence of after so I feel more bad that his jokes bombed You know, as a comedian, anything that he said, it was, I feel, it didn't even land.

Doug: The 

Josiah: I wanted to bring this up was he workshopped that joke the night before at a, at a comedy club.

Josiah: It didn't go over well. And then Joe Rogan said to him, don't do that bit. And so now I feel a bit like Tony because, and you're Joe Rogan, Doug's always giving me advice. Like don't do this. Don't do that. And I go out and I do it anyway. So Tony was just like, I'm, I'm going to do it.

Doug: Actually quite the opposite.

Kate Hughes: Be yourself.

Doug: what I tell them to do. Just do talk about yourself and what you do and how it really happened Don't try to don't try to turn it into a performance

Kate Hughes: well, I mean, you don't have to, because you guys have penises, but,

Josiah: guys have penises, but Penis.

Kate Hughes: I say penis? can. Oh, perfect.

Doug: No

Josiah: know if you 

Doug: I 

Kate Hughes: don't know if you guys noticed. 

Josiah: I, mean, 


[00:06:30] Women in Comedy
---

Doug: I mean, yeah, I think women have it hard in any Just in comedy though. In, in any, definitely in stand up. I mean, they always have.

Josiah: Comedy. Oh, 

Doug: I 

Kate Hughes: know the answer. I think women don't want to see women come up on stage and root for them. They immediately don't like them, so you have to 

Josiah: It is. It always is like 

Kate Hughes: always is like that.

Kate Hughes: Like if you're a successful woman or something, people have this weird feeling about you. But comedy You're putting yourself on display where you're vulnerable and they know that and they can attack you kind of thing, you know So you have to like either not care come off as arrogant or whatever and sometimes that works Sometimes that doesn't or win them over with some kind of self deprecating thing But yeah It is it is and they judge you about like by what you look like as well and then men don't like you because men We just think even I

Kate Hughes: am like

Kate Hughes: Women aren't funny.

Kate Hughes: I really think that. I'm like, I, there's

Josiah: had an entire

Doug: don't think it's that women aren't funny. I just think that The

Josiah: Yeah,

Doug: know a ton. I know Caitlyn Adams now, or Oh, right. Should be Caitlyn.

Doug: Yeah. Yeah. She is absolutely hilarious. She's one of my wife's funniest friends. Yeah. She's hysteric on the planet. She can just make a face and I start cracking up. You know what I mean? So yeah, and she just did that. She was at the house, uh, of like two weeks ago or something and she came outside into the back.

Doug: I was out back and she came out back and just did this little, she was like, how are you doing? How are you doing? And it just, I was crying. She's good. So yeah,

Doug: I think the other hard part for women. Yeah,

Kate Hughes: again, tell me what you think Women have it rough doing?

Doug: no, no, I, I'm going to actually, I, I, I agree. I think one of the other hard parts about a woman how hard it is to become a comedian and successful is that. Because the, the, to, to get, you know, you got to network and all that. And there's a lot of fucking scumbags in the comedy world.

Doug: They,

Josiah: do. Which is why I'm Good! Let's tag team.

Josiah: to do all the time. I know, dude. You're hilarious.

Doug: don't want anybody to ever have a

Josiah: light up a room, anytime you step into my kitchen, I'm just fucking laughing. The catchphrase that we use is, Save it for the podcast because we would, we used to talk upstairs and he'd have like the best stories and be like dude

Doug: No, I don't want you I don't want you I don't

Josiah: some fucking credit.

Doug: don't want somebody saying it and you're going that's my shit And it just is I think it's he's so

Kate Hughes: mad about it, yeah. You've heard save it for the stage, right?

Doug: absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah yeah,

Doug: I, like I said, man, if, if I could have so much shit going on with me, but if I'm out, if I'm around people, it's, people talk about what's a disease and not a disease is alcoholism. A disease is, is a depression, a disease.

Doug: And I say alcoholism isn't a disease. Depression is, and I'll prove it. I could be in a, I sometimes I go on these things where I'm just like, I'm going to go out, but I'm not drinking. And somebody can come in and be like, Hey, Doug, you want a shot? And I'll be like, no, I'm not drinking. And that's it. That's the end of it.

Doug: I didn't get spread their alcoholism. Right. But if they came in and say, Hey, Doug, you want to do a shot with me? My mother just died. Now I'm depressed. They instantly airborne spread their depression to me. So, I don't want to spread mine to anybody. And so I try to just everybody around me, I want them laughing.

Doug: If they're going through something, I want to bring them out of it. I want them to see the, there's some sort of light at the end of it. You know what I mean? I want them laughing about it if they can. And like, if somebody, if somebody says, Oh, my grandmother died, and this works every single time. I, if they, if whoever died, I just go picture the last time you saw that person cracking up.

Doug: And every time it brings a smile to their face. Cause you can't not think of that memory without, now you're laughing about it. Now you're like, oh my god, it was just one time. Yeah. And it, and it, and again, it's not gonna, it's not a lasting, it's not gonna last. I'm just putting a band aid, but for that moment, you, you got out of that funk.

Doug: And that's what I think I can do a lot. And that's what I try to do a lot.

Kate Hughes: feel that energy. So that's what I thought, like, with the girl. I'm sorry, I don't remember the naked girl that you made 

Doug: Oh,

Josiah: Courtney Peruso.

Doug: The naked girl. She didn't say the funny one. She said the naked one.

Kate Hughes: said the naked one. Yeah. Wait, wait.

Kate Hughes: wanted that on, I wanted that on record. You're

Doug: trying to make me. Come on, watch

Kate Hughes: on, watch the

Josiah: You probably, you probably won't like it, but you might appreciate it.

Doug: to your research, stop being Louis C.

Kate Hughes: Louis

Josiah: going to come to the show because I want to see that.

Doug: Yeah, that sounds, that's a funny one. Oh,

Doug: Now I'm gonna blow it.

Josiah: No, no, no, no. I told you this is, you don't have to

Kate Hughes: to hear me! You have

Josiah: any, any workshopping things you want to discuss?

Doug: I think it's low hanging fruit, so I can't imagine I'm the only one who thinks it, but I was like, well, technically doesn't this make Trump a woman beater?

Josiah: Oh, I haven't heard that yet.

Doug: pretty good. That's it. I feel like that, I feel like

Josiah: that's good.

Doug: I feel like there's every, every Greenwich Village Yeah. comedy club in the basement is, there's somebody at least saying that one

Doug: I want to talk about your stuff. Like I want to hear

Josiah: my whole thing is, um, I've got this thought experiment. And, like, sometimes I do this. Like, if you could swap the meaning of any two words in the English language, what would they be? And my two words were, since it's around the election, vote and fart, okay? So now, to vote means to fart, and to fart means to vote.

Josiah: You with me? Okay? Come home, you come home from work, right? Like, oh my god, what's that smell? Oh, holy shit, who voted? Was that you, honey? Oh my god. Promise me you won't vote like that again until midterms, okay? Jesus Christ, next time use a voting booth. Holy 

Doug: shit.

Doug: Yeah, I like it.

Josiah: And then, uh, your wife reminds you, Well, you know, the average person votes twelve times a day.

Josiah: Twelve times a day? Holy shit. Sounds like voter fraud to me, huh? Then on election day you get to remind your mom to fart. And she's like, Oh, don't worry, honey. I farted this morning. You wouldn't believe the line. There's this longest line of farters wrapped around the building. I'm afraid some people wouldn't be able to fart on time.

Josiah: I'm like, well, that's how it's designed, mom. They don't want you to be able to fart. They're trying to suppress the fart.

Josiah: kid 

Doug: with me to fart.

Doug: I 

Josiah: it. You like it? Yeah. Thank you. 

Kate Hughes: took my

Doug: kid with me to fart.

Josiah: Sorry, . Did you?

Josiah: I 

Doug: got

Kate Hughes: sticker. I got a sticker. I farted.

Doug: for how I farted. Yeah, I farted.

Kate Hughes: farted. Yeah.

Doug: No, I like that. I think there's a lot, there's a lot to it there. There can be a lot more, you know, a lot

Josiah: Yeah. Mailin,

Doug: there's a lot of different ways you can go.

Josiah: You know, I wouldn't be, wouldn't be the guy opening those envelopes, whatever. Yeah. I

Doug: feel

Kate Hughes: like it would be physical, like a physical with the bod. 

Josiah: Yeah.

Kate Hughes: I don't know what, though.
