In this episode, Lynn and Christie chat with Jenny Yang about her upbringing as a Taiwanese-born, Los Angeles-raised overachiever. They discuss her obsession with the wellness industrial complex; coping with burnout and depression; ambition; her transition from politics to a creative career; and how she located her Self and values along the way. Named one of Variety's "Top Ten Comics to Watch" and New York Magazine/ Vulture's "Comedians You Should Know," comedian Jenny Yang tours her unique blend of personal storytelling and social commentary through her standup comedy and hit monthly stage show SELF HELP ME, a competitive self-care comedy show. She has been featured at Just For Laughs Montreal, headlined at San Francisco Sketchfest, and has shared the stage with such legendary comedians as Maria Bamford and Margaret Cho. As an actor, Jenny stars opposite Michelle Yeoh as XING in the Netflix action comedy-drama series, The Brothers Sun. She also voices Carissa, Beef's love interest, on Fox's The Great North. Her perspective as a food-obsessed, former labor organizer, and Asian American community activist working in comedy and entertainment is a sought-after voice in media projects covering the most pressing political and cultural issues of the day. Taiwan-born and Southern California-raised, Jenny was honored by President Obama as a “White House Champion of Change” for her leadership in “Asian American and Pacific Islander Art and Storytelling." Jenny has lived in Taiwan, Japan and Chile, speaks Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, and can curse you out in Korean and Japanese.

If you know me, then you know that I have an extremely dark sense of humor and I love stand up comedy.As a language learner, being able to understand jokes and cultural humor is a sign that you've reached a relatively advanced level because stand up comedy is heavily influenced by culture. So if you can understand not only the words being said, but also the reason that people find it funny, then you've got a pretty good understanding of both the language and the culture.So this episode is for all of my stand up comedy lovers who want to put their English to the test and get more familiar with American culture. This list of comedians is in no particular order, by the way. You can also check the description of this episode for a link to a YouTube playlist with some of the comedy specials I'll be mentioning today.PDF file with links to the comedians mentioned in this episode: https://rb.gy/slk8u0Timestamps:0:03 Shane Gillis0:57 Deon Cole1:30 Jeremiah Watkins2:29 Anthony Jeselnik3:06 Bill Burr4:18 Joe List4:57 Sam Morril5:45 Mark Normand6:29 Tom Segura7:18 Trevor Wallace7:53 Honorable MentionsFor access to transcripts, PDF study guides, and bonus podcast episodes, subscribe on Patreon!

This week spotlights Loretta Lynn's 1975 crossover hit, “The Pill,” one of the most controversial country singles of all time. To discuss Loretta, birth control, and the normalizing of sexual health education, Danny and Tyler are joined by the brilliant and hilarious Alex Kumin (@alexkumin, Comedy Central, Comedians You Should Know). Everyone from Owen Bradley to Reba McEntire to Jack White says that Loretta Lynn is one of the smartest country songwriters of all time, and they'd all agree she's a fearless badass too. According to Tyler Mahan Coe, Loretta Lynn had more songs banned from radio than all male country artists in the 20th century combined. What gets a female vocalist banned from country music radio? What makes a woman "radical" within a male-dominated industry? Is wanting birth control even controversial? Give this week's episode a listen, where we answer those questions.New to Loretta?

Mike began his comedy career at the age of six with clowning classes at the local JCC. He's been delighting crowds with his intoxicating brand of wild-eyed humor ever since. Mike’s irreverent bar-stool philosophy careens from topic to topic like a runaway freight train with some dubious couplings. Audiences have described the experience as “spontaneous,” “joyful’ and “slightly terrifying.” Mike cut his teeth in Chicago (not as painful as it sounds), where he was a regular at Zanies Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory and Comedy Bar Chicago. He co-founded the popular showcase, Comedians You Should Know, which he brought to New York City in 2016. It has since become the weekly go-to spot to see comedy legends and up-and-comers rock the same mic. Internationally, Mike has offended nostrils in Montreal as a "New Face" of the 2013 Just For Laughs, and he won The Montreux Comedy Festival competition in Switzerland. He’s been featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central, and HBO’s The Deuce. Look for his debut album, LEBO, in early 2019 on Stand Up Records.

Comedian David Drake talks taking on a live audience and why a comedian shouldn't turn on them, showcasing "Comedians You Should Know", digging yourself out of a hole, and a favorite joke about Halloween. Plus, accents without offense, unwanted music on the subway, nerd camp and "mermaiding", living in the moment, chocolate orange red wine, and improvised stories that must include three words.

Just like that found on BrooklynPaper.com, and at their show every Wednesday night!
