Good Morning, We're Dying12 Feb 2025

Episode 015 | We're Dying, But So Is Comedy (w/ Carl Johnson)

This week, Alex is joined by comedian Carl Johnson, stepping in as guest co-host while Sam is away. Together, they take a hilariously bleak look at the state of stand-up comedy, from the soul-crushing rise of TikTok comics to the way Netflix has become the new Comedy Central (and not in a good way). They commiserate over how social media clout seems to matter more than actual jokes and debate whether true comedy can still thrive in a world obsessed with viral moments.

Carl reluctantly embraces his new title as "Male Sam" while he and Alex unpack their anxieties, from the pressures of keeping a podcast alive to the existential dread that lurks behind every punchline. They also dig into gender dynamics in comedy, discussing why so many talented female comics quit due to harassment and whether certain wardrobe choices unfairly impact how women are perceived on stage.

Naturally, the conversation spirals into absurd tangents—Oakland County’s weird relationship with ice, political delusions, and a truly bizarre statistic about white dudes and online porn. Plus, Alex overshares his, uh, unique pre-show ritual, proving that comedy is all about timing…and maybe a little bit about digestive health.
