#437 Bad Thread Read

Holding my hand up and saying I prefer Mark and Joe's off the cuff material to their acts. I think a lot of 'long-form' comics started out with quick jokes and evolved as they got more confident that they could delay the punchline for longer and longer. I think the guys should give it a try!

It’s impossible to get eyeballs on content online these days without paying a bunch of money, and even then I’m sure the impressions are just wasted thru FB, Chinese bots, and William Moffett. I get about 50 views a day on my website, makes me wanna saw my cats tits off and stick them in my eyes. Joe and Mark have great specials out you Tweens. Zdawg’s a Fed. Comments!

2014, respect!

FYI Realtors don't make much unless they're selling high volume or expensive places. Realtor's commission on a house/apartment is between 5-6% and that's split between the seller's realtor, and the buyer's realtor. And then some of that goes to whatever company they work for.

List needs to stop trying to be like Seinfeld and idolizing him. Seinfeld's standup is as corny as it gets and he never writes new material.

Great Ep, love the talk regarding mystique vs. constant posting of content.

Racial segregation is as bad in the US as it's ever been? I hope you're just young b/c that's a really dumb statement. We don't have separate black's only and white's only anything anymore. Not schools, not businesses, not public spaces, not even bus seats or water fountains to be cleche. Hate is rampant for sure but there aren't as many real racists as the corporate media would have you believe, just A LOT of delusional and/or mentally unstable people with undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues.

TL;DR: "Even with intensive overpolicing, people feel unsafe and young people continue to use violence for predation and protection. Any program for reducing crime and enhancing social wellbeing, much less achieving racial justice, must address these conditions. No one on the political stage is talking seriously about this reality. Racial segregation in the United States is as bad today as it has ever been. Poor communities need better housing, jobs, and access to social, health, recreational, and educational services, not more money for police and jails, yet that’s what’s on offer across the country. From Chicago to New York to California, local politicians continue to hold out more police and new jails as the solution to community problems. This must stop."

The End Of Policing is a good and short overview of the science behind policing

Police are not effective at reducing crime. As more people fall into poverty due to the economy we will see more crime and homeless. The chicago police chief said that even though during 2020 they hired extra cops and pulled in more overtime than ever they were unable to reduce crime. https://libcom.org/files/Vitale%20-%20The%20End%20of%20Policing%20(Police)%20(2017).pdf

Comedy nerd here. Been following comedy for over 35 years. Been listening to this podcast from since it began. Both are great comics. Both are great story tellers. When you perform live, of course you will get a mix of stand-up fans and podcast fans. Maybe try a "live podcast" tour. I'm sure you've thought about it, or it has at least been mentioned before, but I think you guys would do well.
