THIS EPISODE: The infamous Jonnie W. Lots of comedy talk
that's interesting to us and probably pretty dull for Pkarlgh but
that's what happens when we don't operate with a script, or goals
or even common sense. It's a phone call so Jonnie sounds very much
like a Cylon (which isn't a bad thing, really.)
It all started with 8 minutes of hell. And went downhill from
there. (I made up that second part.) Jonnie and I talk a lot
of "shop" in this episode. We get a brief "origins" story and then
it's all comedy.
Comedy often comes from shy, insecure people. Jonnie W. is no
exception. Awkwardness is dreadful if you can't laugh past
it.
Introverts and reclusive personalities seem to gravitate
toward stand-up. Which is awkward...
Remember the groundswell of Christian comedy that swept the
country a few decades back? No? That's because that
never happened.
There's some secret talk about what happens on the Tim Hawkins
tour bus.
Then we talk more about writing material, making our families
laugh, insecurity and joy.
We try out some raw comedy from our notebooks. Raw comedy is
always...raw.
Then it's over...
Also...here's a little bit of the amazing David Kaplan (whom I
discussed on the
podcast) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3cANK1VJlo
