“Started making wagons in 1995” got me

[@llortduck]

i love the honesty and openness in this interview

[@RyunWould]

This is the most flawless and fluid bullshittery I have ever heard come off the cuff and is truly a master class in the premise of "yes and".

[@dr_redbanRL]

Jo is adorable. Love her work and she just seems like a good person

[@zachbnonymous]

She's funny, although I do get the impression the inside of her mouth is cold

[@dr_redbanRL]

This was my favorite episode 😂😂😂 I love the dry humor !!!!!!! So good , thank you for making my day 💞

[@MrLoulevy]

Jo Firestone. Total commitment to character

[@EthanAnthony907]

first viewer here David, huge fan for like 30 years man. When adding up how many times youve made me laugh out loud, youre up there with George Carlin and Bernie Mac.

[@brownbananabooks]

How many times total?

[@Ultratoast01]

Great to hear your 'behind the screaming' stories about Big Break - which was called Breaking Bad in the UK because the name Big Break was already taken by a show about 8 ball pool.

[@gyishin]

My god it's too damn early in the morning to laugh this hard. I'm already exhausted.

[@jonathangarmuth8975]

I survived the 1995 wood virus

[@johnyaworsky8525]

There is something about this podcast that is really great, just can’t put my finger on it.

[@lanterns]

That would be the play/stop button on your app.

[@djeurosham]

Slice is in the house!

[@joopdevliegers]

I prefer comedians with podcasts talking about the ins and outs of comedy and why they're one out of a thousand and not just civilians, but I guess this'll have to do

[@aubreypressley1450]

They are ruly latter day prophets denouncing the hypocrisy of our times. Leagues above us in IQ

When is Mr.Movie coming out?

Did somebody spike me with Mushrooms 🍄 🤪

[@scottehm86]

Long ago on a Mr Show dvd commentary, you told a story of a fellow comic who told you he was a werewolf. Who was that guy? I won't tell anyone, just post below!

They talk while I go HA!… HA HA!…HA!…..😢 rip Jeśuş H Christ my niggas moon walking with Joseph Smith in heaven now 🙏🛐📿🧎🤲

[@javelinman7]

I'm surprised how bored and boring this is.

[@TheGreatKrystoff]

I knew to expect it, but each episode of this podcast has had such a high percentage of full commit with no winking on bits that I think it's the only time I've ever enjoyed being gaslit

[@LIONHEART0666]

Seriously 😂

[@antoniasteins3131]

She is just the funniest her book Sex Island was so funny I couldn’t listen to the audiobook on walks bcs I had to laugh so hard

[@ericonsocial]

Jo is one of the best improvisers on earth, so it makes me excited to hear that this is so many people’s first experience with her.

[@jarrodcornelius6237]

I would try and muffle your out bursts. mom and step dad are this close to sending you to an apartment that he will pay for. This close.

[@danielleuhbelle]

This is without a doubt one of the most incredible displays of improv comedy humanity will ever witness. This podcast is a gift how do we replace evening news with this?

[@ash8298]

You need to leave your house more.

[@roland1912]

This is like watching two NPCs having a conversation in a Bethesda game, after the quest is broken due to glitches and bad programming lol. Wouldn't have it any other way!

[@secondcitywolverine]

I love that neither of you break. The commitment is inspiring.

[@ash8298]

Why would they break? Nothing either one of them say is funny.

[@dr_redbanRL]

Get Tim Heidecker on please

[@LoGoatPictures]

This is the greatest back and forth I have ever heard between two folks that barely show their hands. These two are so brilliantly fast. Anyone that put time into creating this should be proud. Amazing work to all involved. What a goddamn powerhouse of humour. ;) “You were kinda rollin’ the dice on the egg.”

[@professorhazard]

When this began, I did not know who Jo Firestone was. When it was over, I still did not know, but now I love her I guess.

[@chim-choo-ree]

Watch "Joe Pera Talks with You".

[@professorhazard]

@@chim-choo-ree I have long considered doing so, thanks!

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Was listening to this in the background and felt my brain melting. lol.

[@phlnspace]

I miss my old Firestone wagon. That first model was a real high-quality prairie schooner. Wagons!! Hoooo!!

[@pearljammies]

Jo is my favorite comedian. What a treat!

[@pattieparkhurst]

I can listen to this episode over and over. I need more Jo!

[@sndsofscnce]

i'm 30 minutes in and i don't know what's happening

Hard to say she is about to cry or laught ❤

[@dominiceddy5947]

I love you, David! Your podcast brings me so much joy. Im 38. I've been a huge fan of yours since i was 15. 🤝

[@WaldoCarmen]

My pleasure

[@bennagem2965]

How ironic is it that the best podcast host (David) JUST started a podcast? Crazy.

[@rootvalue]

This the best improv I’ve ever seen in my life. I guess that also makes it the best podcast too, but I feel like I should have paid for this standup set. Fucking fluid. Thank you.

[@swaslaukinonome]

I understand they probably work hard at it for many years as comedians, but there's something really casual about the way these two crack me up. 😂 stay weird, please

[@sarahchoate6032]

Roseanne owned a loose meat sandwich diner in her show, maybe that’s where you’ve heard of it 😂

[@obsurdusername]

LOL I was scrolling through the comments bc I thought the exact same! Fair dinkum!

[@ronaldyodersr]

David, I understand from your program that Missouri is the "Show-me State", but did you know that Tennessee is consider the "Sho-ney State", with more Shoney's locations than any other state in the unions! Visit a Shoney today, and get a loose meat sandwich! Thank you David for another excellent and informative podcast experience!

[@brettv4060]

He should rebrand the podcast to “banal minutiae” and every episode is this amazing playful thing . Hope a fan of his also gets the reference

[@iwanebbing2642]

Thanks for the upload. It's always like having a fever dream. But minus the sweat.

Committing early and deep to the wagon bit.....kudos

[@joeystrain8298]

[@tekkaman-blade]

Sweet Caroline! That final plug for Jo's new show brought me to literal tears! I'm going to need to recover now. Thanks, David!

[@n1ntar1man]

Growing up with David and now a huge fan of Jo this had me absolutely rolling with delight. So good!

[@milesntrane]

Yea. Padres weren't around in 1967. Good instincts, Big Dave.

[@ericonsocial]

This is Jo Jo Glass erasure. I just checked Baseball Man Database, and Padres were definitely around in 67.

Don’t let David fool ya. He loves St. Louis. He saw a picture of the world’s largest chess piece at the airport. Fascinating.

[@jamesshefchik9690]

This is the best NPR show I've ever listened to. What's it called again?

[@KB-313]

Wait wait... don't yell at me!

David almost had her at 30:59 :DD

[@quentinscorsese5146]

10:10 omg so funny! wtf!

[@buggafutz27]

The topics of conversation here are painfully banal and milquetoast. Up the snark, and you've got a grander waste of everyone's time. I doubt DC has ever willingly engaged in a moment of sincerity in his life.

[@gimpscam9976]

Does this mean we will get a jo pera pod?

[@derpderp2559]

man these two have excellent chemistry. where's the sketch show??

[@hobbes4583]

The biggest pizza chain in st louis is called don rickles because it is really an insult to italian cooking. You have no idea how long it took to write that joke.

[@GrantLeeEdwards]

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t think that qualifies as a joke. Did Rickles insult Italian cooking or culture in particular? If not, then substitute Jeff Ross & it should be clear why it fails. E for effort, tho.

[@hobbes4583]

@@GrantLeeEdwards I'm standing by the joke. I've met with my writers and gone over your complaint. You can lodge a formal dispute with the union, but we are going with rickles, for now. The joke has five likes, so that qualifies as "universal acclaim"

[@GrantLeeEdwards]

@@hobbes4583 right so what’s funny about it, again? If I think pepperoni pizza is much better than sausage, would it be funny to say that sausage pizza really ought to be called Rickles pizza because it’s an insult to real pizza? If your joke is that generic, it’s really not funny regardless of how many unfunny people like it. Those 6 are the Don Rickles of likes, just an insult to the culture of likes. Or, if you want a mildly amusing twist, the laugh track of likes.

[@afishcalledjuan]

David do you need to do plugs? If you actually use these products let us know.

[@aubreypressley1450]

For a lot of these celebrities, they do ads so they can pay for production and not lose money on them. He also seems to be doing it with a podcast company

[@Sushiyoda]

“We can send a man to mars in the movies”…😂

[@mngbennett]

Normally David is the one who's craziness knocks people off their stride but Jo is so wonderful that she has turned the tables on him. Like a flipped Waffle.

[@hotsaucejunior4]

jo is the freaking BEST

[@ericyaremko]

Literally talking about absolutely nothing at all and it's fantastic and making me laugh

Poor Jo getting tricked into toggling the "Straight man" routine so often.

[@josephvolk6243]

This is a unique dynamic between two people each po 31:39 31:39 😅😊ssessing a broad based inventory of common knowledge and combine it with in-depth, technical insight on esoteric but practical and complex issues and present it in a tight little package that anyone with an open mind can put into practice daily life sithations.
