This is a Headgum podcast.

Hello and welcome to the introduction for podcast but outside episode 222.

This episode is recorded in Chinatown in New York City with the very talented guest co-host Gianmarco Saraci.

Gianmarco is a fantastic stand-up comedian. He has a brand new comedy special that's out for free on YouTube called Thief of Joy. Go watch that very soon or now.

He also tours all the time. You can check out his dates on his website, Jan Marcos-Sorresi.com. This is a great episode. One of the best of the year. All the guests are fantastic from very different walks of life. It's a long episode because every guest was just really, really good and brought something really unique and interesting to the show. So we had to give all of it to you. Oh, one quick note. This was recorded back in May. So if there's some political stuff that were a little bit behind the times on, that is why. I forgot to say this in the episode, so I'll say it now. This is an interview strangers on the street podcast. We have a sign in front of our table that says, hi, be a guest on our podcast. We'll pay you $1. Smiley Face. Music this week is by Dylan Kozart. He made this song in 2019, and I'm using it again. And thank you, Dylan. If you want to make

us a theme song, you are more than welcome to. Okay, let's get to it. Enjoy the episode. Goodbye. Podcast but outside. It's a podcast, but it's outside. Podcast, but outside. Watch it in your downtime. Because when there's crowds around them them it feels like you left the house kind of

it's outside where the sky and the clouds are and also all the birds that are just government

drones wake off sheeple that's why stay inside nerds hello and welcome to podcast but outside my

They're so nice. I just walked over. Don't dox yourself. We're in New York City. No, it's okay. I feel like in New York, it doesn't really matter because it's like everyone lives on top of each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The next thing feels like it doesn't feel as important here, like your exact location. Yeah, someone could track me down so easily. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Marco's an incredible stand-up comedian, very prolific online, I feel like. I feel like you're putting in the work. For certainly that. No one could deny me that. And are you, do you like the grind? Are you, are you enjoying, do you feel burned out by it? Or are you, are you appreciating the feedback and, and liking the, obviously, your career is going well and stuff like that? I worry sometimes that it's like, you know, I listen, I do a set and then I listen to the set. Sure. And I decide what to pick from the set, and then I rewatch the set. And so it's more than navel gazing.

It's really like, listen, I do a set and then I listen to the set. Sure. I decide what to pick from the set and

then I rewatch the set and so it's more than navel gazing. It's really like a, you're, you're, you're very deeply engaged in your own mind every day. Yeah, that's the most kind way to put it. You're very self-suffering. I'm, I'm, um, I'm, uh, insisting on my own shit could be a more accurate. You're like talking to someone. You're like, oh my God, I said the most
