You Just Got Whippled

Episode 15 January 8, 2015
Cast: Steve Rees, John Kensil, Midnight Martinez, Dr. Frielgood, Nick Vollmer
Guests: Greg Lynn, Kricket Lee, Jesse Keim

Hi! I hope your day is going great. Our episode today is a must listen for anyone who likes comedy or likes to think of themselves as a comedian. It's a hilarious cautionary tale. Greg Lynn, Jesse Keim, and Kricket Lee are in studio to raise awareness of joke thievery. The example of what not to do is Matty Whipple. Him and the jokes he's told on stage are discussed at length.

Top broadcaster, Benny Michael was supposed to be part of the show that night. He didn't show up possibly because he was mad at Steve because Steve didn't like a joke that Benny thought was hilarious. Gee whiz, Benny! I'm glad they've put that fight behind them and are once again BFFs.

Allentown, Kensilvania's own, Jesse Keim starts us off with the tale of Matty Whipple on stage in the Poconos. Jesse claims that all or most of Matty's material is not original. Examples are given. Nick wants to know, "Now, does this guy have cancer?". That's a throwback to good ole Mr. Proto and it made me laugh out loud. Gotta love Nick Vollmer!

You'll enjoy the Matty Whipple audio and all the talk that stems from it. Is it true that Matty stole a joke from our beloved Greg Lynn? How rude!!! Maybe it was parallel thinking. Maybe it was straight up, downright, no shit joke stealing.

We're treated to Matty Whipple on the phone. Or, are we? No one thinks it's really him. Maybe it's Bradley Beck doing a Matty Whipple impression? Either way, it's freaking funny!

This show is from 2015, maybe Matty Whipple has cleaned up his act and he no longer uses jokes that he didn't actually write. It looks like he might be more into performing magic now. In case you give a shit about finding out, I'll link ya at the bottom.

Just Sayin - If I go out to watch some comedy, I wouldn't know if someone is using someone else's jokes. Of course, there are certain things I would recognize from people that I'm a fan of, but if you're telling an Anthony Jeselneck joke, I would never know. Most people that are just sitting at a comedy show to have a good time aren't ever going to know that your jokes are stolen and they're going to forget them and you before they even get back to the car. That being said, it's a really shitty thing to do!! Just don't freaking do it. If you can't write jokes, don't try to be a comedian you complete asshole. At least think about the fact that other comics are going to talk shit about you on podcasts!

This show was hilarious from beginning to end. There are tons of great quotes and possible alternate show titles. I can't even pick favorites.

Enjoy episode 15!

Show description: A guy performed at an Indian casino and a video emerged, raising the ire of top stand-up comedians Greg Lynn, Kricket Lee, and Jesse Keim. The "comic in question" calls in to defend himself. It's all that matters on the only podcast that matters.
