Summary

"Anything is better than these terrible jokes I've written about Hitler." Stand-up comedian Lucas Zelnick tells us why he's like a gambling addict when it comes to bombing and how he found out that calling a gay dude "gay" is not funny, but actually just a hate crime. Plus, we break down yet another all-time banger from Chris "Mad Dog" Russo on load management in the NBA, and Tony bets the castle. Learn more about your ad choices.

on your career path here what made you more nervous the first time you did stand up or when

1:07.5

you told uh the people who love you that you wanted to be a comedian for a living?
