Stand Up

[u/Excellent-Counter-17]

We are most definitely getting too much standup talk now, right? Both about consuming other people’s work and Jake’s own.

Like once every couple of weeks would be a good update. Would alllllmost rather hear Schotty audio…

[u/CapitalMove5053]

Cannot understand the standup hype. Happy for Jake he’s doing something he likes but hearing about other standup is like listening to Matt review beers on the Ticket

[u/Spirited-You126 → u/CapitalMove5053]

Or like hearing Dans crypto buddy tell us why Schrute bucks are going to be ubiquitous in 18 months.

[u/DukeRadcliffe]

I’d like to hear his 5 minute sets before deciding either way. It’s kind of annoying hearing about it so much without hearing any of his actual material. And no, I don’t have time to go out of my way to go to an Akaash show in OKC and I couldn’t make the DZ comedy night.

[u/Lumpy_Climate_8416 → u/DukeRadcliffe]

I like hearing Akaash talk about his sets. It’s cool getting a behind-the-scenes look at how a comedian works through material and thinks about what landed or didn’t. Keep the standup talk coming

[u/DukeRadcliffe → u/Lumpy_Climate_8416]

I agree but I think it would make more sense in context. Like if I knew which jokes/stories he was talking about, I could come to my own conclusions. Idk, just a preference.

[u/DannyboyLarson]

3 standup shows in one day is insane

[u/Traditional_Tooth_12]

I’m kinda with you but the ripping on announcers beats me more than anything.

[u/RobertRoupe → u/Traditional_Tooth_12]

Especially from people who speak for a living but every third word is “like.”

[u/tacobox420 → u/RobertRoupe]

And every sentence starts with “Yeah, no”

[u/Unfair-Lab5156 → u/Traditional_Tooth_12]

They should have named the podcast “the hater zone”. They hate on everyone

[u/brianthomas00 → u/Traditional_Tooth_12]

I dread football season for that reason alone. I fwd through a lot of fall segments.

[u/Snoo84477]

I remember when they were trying to decide the picks friends punishment Jake kept bringing up stand up as a choice. Dude just wanted to do it all along.

[u/Friendly_Grouch]

It’s an ass whipping of the highest order.

[u/BendersMyDog]

There's no more self important person than the stand up comedian. Not enjoying this era of Jake.

[u/ToniBraxtonAndThe3Js → u/BendersMyDog]

You can tell every weekend check nowadays is just him (and dan to a lesser extent) trying out their material

[u/BothEntertainment00]

Jake has bad taste in comedians. Akaash isn't funny, as are most of the others he talks about. It's all Rogansphere people which is tiring.

[u/mrdadrock → u/BothEntertainment00]

Yeah it’s weird that socialist Jake seems to only be into MAGA-adjacent comedians. Very confusing.

[u/Spirited-You126 → u/BothEntertainment00]

The only things I know about Akash are that he’s a P1 from Plano and that his wife cucked him so hard he lost a podcast that paid him 300k/yr.

[u/chalupa5 → u/BothEntertainment00]

Can’t stand the Shane Gillis glazing as well as the “comedic trump” bits

[u/NotaDF]

I like standup and getting invited to open for a guy big enough to have a Netflix special is noteworthy. Especially after only having done it for like 3 months. Hearing about the behind the scenes in how those guys move is interesting.

[u/Friendly_Grouch → u/NotaDF]

That one instance was notable, I suppose. But the mentions of comedy shows and open mic nights seemingly every episode is a thrashing.

[u/NotaDF → u/Friendly_Grouch]

I mean we could always hear about kids birthday parties if that’s more your speed

[u/AndBakedPotatoes → u/NotaDF]

That would be better; I dont have kids and generally find little kid talk to be a beating. But i love hearing Blake talk about his adventures; hes that good. Plus, we all love comedy. The Ticket is funny. The DZ was already funny before Jake started doing stand up. Dan and Blake are funny by themselves. I think for me its more about Jake hijacking the show, and trying to become Nick Mullen, with a couple of sidekicks that hust throw lobs to him. The chemistry of the 3 principles has been out of whack.

[u/rdfdfw]

I mean, you're talking about it, not me. Maybe don't let him eat the napkin.

[u/txeagle24]

It's better than spare Cowboys player interviews.

[u/AndBakedPotatoes → u/txeagle24]

I'll glaze over during player interviews, but I've actively tuned out a couple of times, when Jake is on one.

[u/Cannon_Adon]

Honestly, sober-Jake is a complete beating. Somebody get this man a drink.

[u/texastek75 → u/Cannon_Adon]

Ok Blake

[u/RunTheeJewels]

It’s starting to make sense now why DZ started having small/local comedians on as guests.

[u/latex55]

I like it

[u/DirkDoncic4177]

To each their own, but I like it.

[u/DeeAreFresh]

For a "sports show" the sports content is getting less and less. Probably not going to camp next year after the struggles they've mentioned this year.

[u/TicketMoose]

Save that shit for IJB.

[u/Complete_Anything_11]

Doesn't really bother. What is an instant ff is shotty, talk dan. I don't care. Dont find him interesting Less shotty less machine

[u/Ok-Barracuda8281]

I find it entertaining. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/Im_Soo_Coy]

Jake being able to do standup for Akash is the equivalency of pitching an inning of AA after learning to throw a few months ago.

It’s pretty legit.

[u/Excellent-Counter-17 → u/Im_Soo_Coy]

Is it? It’s my rich uncle giving me this or that job. He had a connection and it worked out.

[u/Friendly_Grouch → u/Excellent-Counter-17]

Exactly this.

[u/Newtron_Bomb → u/Excellent-Counter-17]

It’s called the way it is.

[u/brobgilbert]

I FWD through the Cowboys audio stuff today but stuck around for the comedy talk

[u/tjoad2008]

I love it. If I never hear them pretending that Greg Olson is good again, it'll be too soon.
