Ep. 240 - Gary Gulman: This is Comedy: Gary Gulman Breaks Down the Best Joke in The World

Ep. 240 - Gary Gulman: This is Comedy: Gary Gulman Breaks Down the Best Joke in The World

When Patton Oswalt, one of the top comedians over the past several decades, was going through the worst experiences of his life this past year, he wrote an entire post about one joke Gary Gulman made. ONE JOKE. Oswalt starts off: "This is...so perfect." I like the pause in there. LIke there are no words so he had to notch himself down even though it doesn't express exactly what he wants to say: ... "so perfect". He analyzes Gary's joke and why it's so difficult to do a joke like this (nobody sees how the sausage is made, they only see the final joke after years of perfecting). Patton closes with: "Thank you Gary Gulman. I know a lot of my shit's gonna get angry these next four years, but it's stuff like what Gary's doing that reminds me I gotta make sure it's funny first. Angry doesn't change shit. Funny disarms the horde." Gary is one of the best in the world. And no matter what area of life you want to improve in, studying in detail someone who is among the best, will up your game. It ups my game. I am infinitely frail. I fall apart at the slightest resistance. I sometimes can't handle it. I sometimes can't handle failing. I don't always believe you learn from failure. But studying the best, makes my brain feel good. Like it's being nourished. And that often gives me the strength to persist. For the past five months I've been going up on a stage 2-3 times a week and performing standup comedy in front of an audience. Often the other performers are people who were on the Colbert Show the night before. Or just released an hour-long Netflix special. So I have to up my game all the time. I want to be "one of them". And I don't want people in the audience to be able to tell that I'm different. Plus, I get scared to death. I am honestly so scared I am about to cry every time I am about to go on stage. Even if I'm going on stage to perform just five minutes of jokes. Five minutes is an eternity. What I realized, and will save for a future post, is that there are at least 20 or 30 (and probably much more) "micro-skills" that I could not have possibly imagined when trying to get better at standup comedy. I've been public speaking for 20 years. Is it that different? Yes. Which is why I had to have Gary Gulman on the podcast. One of the best in the world. I said above "five minutes is an eternity". Gary told one joke on Conan in 2016 that lasted six minutes. One joke where (and I measured it) he gets laughs every ten to fifteen seconds throughout. He uses every skill in the comic's toolbox. And probably many more that I haven't been able to understand yet. I printed up the joke. I gave it to Gary. I said, "I want to analyze this joke word by word." The first thing he said is, "This almost depresses me". "How come?" "It took years to write this joke. And the others that I came out with around then. It's so hard. Sometimes I can't' even get up because it's so hard to do this." What follows is one of my favorite podcasts. We cover his career, the techniques he learned and how he learned them. We cover the depression and anxiety and fear that goes into building any career out of excellence. We cover the micro-skills. No matter what you do in life, the one who masters all the master skills of your field of endeavor will be the one who rises to the top. How do you identify those skills? How do you master them? And we analyze this joke. To see the joke, Google: "Youtube Gary Gulman Conan States". It's his 7/13/16 performance. Watch it first. Here are some things I learned: Part A) DELIVERY 1. COMMITMENT The whole joke is about the states and how they were abbreviated. Gary walks out on stage, "I just wanted to recommend a documentary to everyone and then I'm going to go." Everyone laughs. No one believes him. But he's totally COMMITTED to the joke. In the podcast he says, "I'm bragging, really. Because I know I have something in my pocket that...

751 - Vanessa Bohns (Part 1) : You Have More Influence Than You Think, just ask!

Do you know you have more influence than you think? Do you know, when you have hard times asking for things that you want, it's also equally hard for someone else to say no, and reject you!

In this episode, Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist and professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University, and author, came on to talk about her new book, You Have More Influence Than You Think.
