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 know, well you'll see later.

I favor mehap!

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.

And today I am pleased to introduce to you Tom Myers, the world's worst comedian.

So usually on this show, we like to celebrate the best of the best.

And today I think that's exactly what we're doing, because Tom is the very best at being the worst.

So he's literally ascended to the top of his field.

There's no worse comedian than Tom Myers.

So I also think it's similar to a usual episode.

You know, listen, we may have personal vendettas that we get out on this show every once in a while.

Just a few weeks ago with that fan, as a matter of fact, is a good example.

But I do feel the Tom Myers episode will be more in line with what we usually do

because I think there is a quote fan base for Tom Myers. There's people that know a lot about

Tom Myers. And a lot of the clips are going to play today, much like when we appreciate the legends
