| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to another episode of Good One, a podcast about jokes. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm your host, Volcher Senior Editor Jesse David Fox. |
| 0:13.0 | This is the show where a comedian picks a joke of theirs to play and then discuss. |
| 0:17.0 | Our guest for this episode is Wight Sinack, |
| 0:19.0 | former Daily Show Correspondent and future host of a political comedy series on HBO. |
| 0:24.3 | The joke he picked is about Black History Month in Captain America and all things in between. |
| 0:28.9 | Though the joke appears on his last album, Furry Dumbfighter, I wanted to pick the version from his CISO show, Night Train. |
| 0:35.0 | One, because CISO closed down and wanted to give people an opportunity to hear this version. |
| 0:39.0 | Second, because it is recorded in Brooklyn at the weekly comedy show he hosted for five years. |
| 0:44.5 | As we discuss in the interview, these geographical facts are significant to his career trajectory. |
| 0:49.9 | Two notes, before I start the joke, first, it's an audio friendly joke, but you should know in it, |
| 0:54.7 | why it is wearing a tan wool sweater with Malcolm X on the back. Second, this episode was taped |
| 1:00.6 | live in front of a packed house at New York Comic-Con. |
| 1:03.8 | What I'd learned right before I went on is it was specifically packed with people squatting |
| 1:07.7 | in the 800-plus person hall waiting for the black mirror panel that we were apparently opening up for. |
| 1:14.0 | Wyatt handled this like a pro, but I just thought I'd tell you so you wouldn't be left wondering, |
| 1:18.0 | why is Wyatt referencing Black Mirror so much? |
| 1:21.2 | Is it a big influence on his work? |
| 1:23.0 | Well that covered, here's Wyatt, live at Night Train, followed by Wyin and I, live from Comic-Con. |
| 1:29.0 | Enjoy. |
| 1:30.0 | I know you guys are only clapping like that because it's Black History Month. |
| 1:37.0 | I get it and I appreciate it. |
