For the next month or two, this show will be airing on Fridays instead of the normal programming. I invite some of my funniest friends in Austin (and other cities) and we have a super low stakes game of No Limit Texas Hold Em with big home game vibes. There's a sweet bounty on my head to motivate game play from other players and this is shaping up to be the most fun I've had playing the game.

I ask Bluff his biggest on and off camera wins and losses. We talk about craps strategies, crapless craps, and playing against people that are betting against you. We talk about weird interactions with dealers, other players, and some fans. Such a good time

For the most part, it looks like this either went under the radar or no one cared to watch it, but I absolutely loved watching these two trying to intimidate the other, making us all laugh and cringe in the process. Who do you want to see Sean Perry fight next (because he's already calling out a bunch of other gamblers)?

The Big podcasts are getting big checks to stall their progress for a few years and the smaller podcasts are forced to make the tough decision of taking a loss in exchange with the possibility of exposure. It rough out here for a podcast. Do you think Spotify could have done this better?

It involves Dana being Tito's agent, transitioning to becoming president of the UFC, and them fighting on a private jet. Is Dana bullying Tito at this point or is it all harmless?

According to Ari, it was a whole organized bit... that for some reason was orchestrated to make Ari public enemy number one. We show his exchanges with Joe Rogan and Tom Segura on JRE when he revealed it, and some of the aftermath appearances Bert made on some other comedy podcasts. Do YOU believe Ari?

At first, I thought YouTube was exercising a bunch of punishments on the channel to make them take it down, but as my research continued, I'm leaning towards self censorship. And even with that, Rampage still released an 18 minute rant to explain what happened, which in my opinion, definitely made things worse. There's a way to back pedal episodes, and this ain't it. What a fun ride.

This week is another installment of Hardcore Comedy, where I discuss key moments in comedy history that I think are rad as hell. This week we review the day Louis CK asked Donald Rumsfeld if he was a lizard person on the Opie and Anthony Show.

It's another installment of Hardcore Comedy! Today we're talking about the time Luis J Gomez and Kurt Metzger confronted each other on stage at The Comedy Store during a recording of Legion of Skanks. All of the best things about Legion of Skanks with Luis, Big Jay Oakerson and Dave Smith are showcased in this installment of Hardcore Comedy.

I let him know about how long I've been a fan of his for, and get into the nitty gritty of what it was like to work with Korean American artist David Choe. Yoshi was working for Choe as a janitor and a frequent part of the ensemble of Choe's podcast called DVDASA, which was cohosted by David and Asa Akira. We discuss the whole incident of Yoshi getting in DEEP trouble for eating Choe's foreign potato chips.

It was sick.

We go over his successful attempt at getting Shane Gillis fired from the SNL cast, but far from cancelled. We take a look at some articles that Seth Simons has written including trying to cancel Shane Gillis from hosting Saturday Night Live (for a second time) and taking shots at the Legion of Skanks (Luis J Gomez, Dave Smith and Big Jay Oakerson). We take a look at what comedy club owners think of him as well as some women.

Starting out as an activist and one of the youngest internet trolls, it's truly impressive what Matan Even has built in a short amount of time. Have we found a solid replacement for chaos that The Eric Andre show once filled? I think so. I analyze appearances with Howie Mandel, The Legion of Skanks, Togi, Mikki Mase, Whitney Cummings and more to explain why I think Matan deserves to be podcaster of the year.

I talk about how he was able to finally convince me that a good impression is fun to watch, and how all of his well rounded talents allow him to shoot from the hip with the character and land most of his shots. I go over the origin of the character by showing some of Adam's old standup clips and an excerpt from an LA Times article by Ali Lerman. Has any comic had a more impressive and justifiable rise than Adam Ray?

On the surface, Drumline is a really good movie, but if you look a little closer, it's possibly one of the best movies of all time. I have no doubt this movie will get admitted into the Criterion collection and Nick Cannon will be inducted in the acting hall of fame or get a Nobel prize for his performance. Is Drumline about a fatherless kid trying to make his way through the world in this coming of age story? Or is it really a social commentary about how we deal with special needs in today's society? I'll let you be the judge. What should I review next?

A more interesting story to me is how/when YouTube chooses to suppress views to some of those videos, and what the options are when that happens. Weather a video is being utilized as a campaign tactic or just a video that barely aligns with views of some decision makers at YouTube, it's wild when you can see a video getting throttled with nothing to do about, like the guys over at Channel 5 News. If there's anyone that's been a champion of free speech, love him or hate him, has been owner of Tesla, Space X, and x/Twitter, Elon Musk. Does this mean Twitter is a viable place to upload your content? Like everyone on YouTube, we analyze what Mr. Beast has been doing, and then basing our decisions on what he's ultimately decided.

Become a producer on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VeryNadavShow Someone made a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/VeryNadavShow/ This week's episode is special. Everyone from AOC to any other political pundit is talking about how terrible of a choice Tony Hinchcliffe was for Donald Trump's political rally, but to me, this is a HUGE milestone for the comedy space. For an industry that mainly sold flesh lights and men's wellness pills, comedy podcasts sure are taking a bigger slice of political campaign strategy than anyone ever expected. Presidential candidates and their running mates are going on podcasts like Call Her Daddy, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Flagrant, Club Shay Shay... they're even hiring comedians to perform jokes at their rallies. And people are scrutinizing these jokes like children that don't understand the purpose of a joke... a statement that prioritizes making you laugh and throws truth to the wayside. What a time to be alive.

I show some of my favorite moments from the 20 minute rant on The Schaub Show and how badly I want to gamble on this fight. Who do you have winning this fight?

The new Joker movie is out, Tim Dillon is in it, critics absolutely hate it, and Tim piles on to it. In this episode we review some of the most insane things I've heard an actor say about the film they're in. We take a look at what he had to say about the Todd Phillips movie with Annie Lederman and on The Tim Dillon Show, and compare it to how Sam Morril and Marc Maron talked about the original Joker movie. Was it insane for Tim to take this approach? Definitely. But does it makes sense for him in the long run? Lets analyze it.

I discuss some previous seemingly disasterous podcast appearances and try to figure out why Jon Lovitz was as great of a guest as he was. I look into some old school East Coast comedian banter from the Opie and Anthony days with Patrice O'Neil and Louis CK and go over the infamous Philly Rant.

Become a producer on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VeryNadavShow Someone made a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/VeryNadavShow/ Today's episode is special. We're trying out a new format where I go out and audit YouTube channels. Today I'm putting Armchair Expert with Dax Shephard under my microscope. It started appearing on my YouTube algorithm a few weeks ago so I decided to dig and see what I could figure out. I look into the new deal he struck with Amazon's podcast company, Wondery, and what that actually means and how it functions for Dax and Monica Padman. I take a look at playlists, channel layouts, and give my opinion on how they uploaded the entire back catalog at once. Was this a solid launch strategy?

Become a producer on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VeryNadavShow Someone made a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/VeryNadavShow/ I always read a lot of valid complaints about podcasts, but I hear about an equal amount of invalid ones. The biggest one being "unnecessary self censorship." Yes, we all know YouTube used to be the Wild Wild West and you could pretty much say anything and show anything, but as more and more mothers began clutching their pearls, more and more rules got put in place. Even if those rules weren't meant for comedy podcasts, they're not excluded from now following those rules. And breaking any of those rules becomes a whole mess that no one wants to deal with. Who's fault is it that this system is so flawed? The answer is clear: it's YouTube's fault. Is it too late to fix it? Probably. But if podcast fans started complaining to YouTube more than podcasters, the complaints might actually reach the right people that can make a change. Until then, enjoy the watered down version of what you used to like.

This week I discuss a case study where I helped a client achieve huge views cheaply by shifting their focus. A lot of people think they need a big production studio and expensive equipment, but this case study proves something more important will actually be the thing responsible for your big views... the quality of your subject matter. You can get big views with a smart phone and a $60 microphone.

This is part of a series where I interview notable figures in podcasting behind the camera(ish) to show people the journey of some podcast veterans. George tells us about his journey from college, to grad school, to Bollywood, to teaching to New Media. He talks about his time working at Maker Studio, meeting Bobby Lee, starting a podcast company and a lot of the challenges he faced while doing that.

He tells us a little about going to film school with George Kimmel, producing his first feature film for Netflix (The Devil Below), and becoming the producer of Bad Friends. We cover all the things about the job that make it interesting to us as well as some advice for people just starting out.

The idea was to do a live zoom call with Robert Paul Champagne, which turned into a complete logistical nightmare... for my friend Dan Kelley. We had to bring in a hired gun, who was a good friend of mine that decided not to look anything up about RPC before saying yes to the job. He had to babysit and chaperone him for 3-5 hours. On the live show, we talked to RPC for 5-10 minutes. Here's the 48 hours my friend Dan endured to make the zoom call happen for us.
