I don't really know how to start shows.

Come on now, don't start liking me now.

So yeah, I'm funny compared to you.

Well, you'll see later.

I favor me.

I know a lot of fucking idiots.

I think a lot of shit is mean-spirited.

Just because it goes against what they believe.

But the relief of comedy is it take things that aren't funny

and it allows us to laugh about them for an hour.

We got a purple suit to buy in a gigantic coffin.

Why are you laughing?

Evening, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of Why Are You Laughing, a history of comedy podcast coming to you live, not from the vaulted podcast studios this week.

It's a Zoom episode because I wanted to make sure you people got an episode

while I was away. And today I'm pleased to introduce you to the Ron and Fez show.

Maths from Rhode Island is with me, of course. Hello, sir. It's going on.

You're finally getting your wish. Craig and Mike are not here. So we'll see. We'll see how this goes.

This is the final combination. This is the final. We'll see how this goes. This is the final combination.

This is the final.

They'll see if this is the one where there's no,

there's no blowback at all.
