Hello and welcome to another episode of the JRE review. The last one for the week in a great conversation with the Joe had with Andrew Schultz podcast 1265.

This is a really cool one for me because I've been watching Andrew stand up for some time like a lot of people have. It's really blowing up on YouTube right now.

He's just an hilarious comic mostly doing stand up in New York. He's a good New York guy. Pretty controversial stand up but very funny and cleverly done and he's pushing the envelope and he's doing something else pretty controversial and he's getting his name out there in a very different way because a lot of the platforms that usually let people do specials denied him.

So he just started releasing stuff in little clips on YouTube which I really think is the best way to do it. That's where people are paying attention and yeah he's crushing it. So anyway let's start the review.

Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience Review. Where each week I review every single episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. What more do you want?

Some parts of this conversation are really personal for both Joe and Andrew. Obviously both stand ups. They both work their way through the gauntlet and it's really fascinating to kind of hear their in depth analysis of like what's going on with that job.

And again I said it before with an I use stand up as like an analogy but Rogan does this all the time is like it's a very difficult pursuit period. I don't think that's a surprise to anyone but the advantages you can apply that skill then towards other things and this is what allows

stand ups that have done well to like move over into acting or move over into other projects making shows sketch comedy you name it doing other difficult things and doing them well because they have this this one element that they've really perfected and I think Andrew is going to be someone that we're going to want to pay attention to because he's going to be doing really big things like I said puts this stuff on YouTube.

You can Google Andrew Shultz and then he's also he's like the sis comic so it's like something in the sis I can't remember but it easy to Google and he has some brilliant clips that are like five to ten minutes long different ones check them out.

Talks they talk about how you can't fake comedy right so that's obvious but I mean it's what they're saying is you can't just know people that can give you good spots and then you go up and just kind of do some jokes that someone else wrote it's just not going to work it's real you've got to put yourself out there you got a bomb you got to feel how difficult it is.

And a cool thing that they talked about is how comedy is an ethical job it's ethical in the sense of like you know I guess sometimes people could be like well that comedian hurt my feelings but for the most part you're making everyone laugh and if you're doing well if you're funny even if you shit is controversial you've made most of the people in that crowd laugh really hard.

You know I don't think comedians are really bumming out too many people are ruining too many people's lives if you find yourself going to stand up comedy in your leaving and their big name acts and you're just like oh that was just awful and really insensitive I think you're just a sensitive pain in the ass so stop going to comedy and reevaluate your life that's just what I'm saying.

They had some interesting opinions on Kanye this is a great part of the podcast that that you want to pay attention to and why it's so valuable is because obviously Joe wants Kanye on his podcast so Andrew is giving this these ideas that Kanye just likes to take things that are uncool and make them cool.

He's insecure way of like figuring out you know just like showing everyone how cool he is it's an interesting theory and it would work for stand up you could make some good jokes about that but Joe jumps in and throw something else and says no in a way I think Joe was kind of implying that Kanye has more of a Elon brain Elon Musk brain just running real fast and he's trying to put together any creative idea that he can think of.

I don't know I think it's dangerous to throw Kanye's intelligence in the mix with Elon it sounds a little pandering but God bless him I mean hey shit Joe knows these people better than I'm ever going to know him so it's worth listening to and I you know I don't think Joe would just lie you would make something up he really feels that way which is fascinating and more the reason why fucking Kanye needs to go on Rogan's podcast that shit is.

I'm not going to be the most downloaded podcast Joe is ever done I think for sure I don't know who knows it's it's it's hard to say but we'll find out we'll find out if he ever gets on that I hope he does be brilliant.

They talk a lot about you know when you're making somebody laugh like the difference between like a hacky comic it just kind of is is like pandering to the audience for chuckles and somebody that's out there really pushing the envelope I mean what makes it difficult then is that the chances are you can upset people and they can yell out and they can fuck up your whole set and you can bomb it can be awful but a great comic is going to be able he's going to be able to make you make you laugh.

But then make you think so if there's an opinion that you don't agree with but you've placed it nicely and it's funny and you laugh about it you still may disagree with the overall opinion but they've kind of opened up the door to have you think about something in a different way and that's really impressive and really important.

You know it's about in a sense that kind of comedy is about being real and then supporting it and that's kind of Andrew's step on it it.

If you get a chance to watch the bit that he does on trannies transvestites obviously it's very clever it is good and you know I've definitely insulting some people in upsetting a few people out there but it's it's clever and remember this is comedy okay he's not going out at the bully people and make it he's he's just he's doing some comedy.

Andrew talks a bit about his rise and especially recently and in recent months last year or so he's done very very well for himself and really made a name and he talks about stopping wanting things wanting to do things he gives the example of being on Rogan's podcast.

I met Rogan and Rogan came to talk to him and said hey look I've heard a lot about you pretty cool you know Andrew didn't ever say hey I want to be on your podcast he was just like thanks man that's awesome and just left it at that and Rogan asked him and and invited him and I think what Andrew's getting out there is look when things are going while and you're gaining some momentum just do the work don't want for anything the wanting and the wishing and the pleading and the praying it's just like listen it's going to be what it's going to be.
