From the Emmy-nominated comedian who created "the best segment in late night" (Vulture) comes this hilarious and practical collection of advice for how to live your best life in love, at work, and in comedy. You'd think with a résumé like Jenny Hagel's-being a writer/performer for Late Night with Seth Meyers, and head writer/EP of The Amber Ruffin Show-she would describe her greatest accomplishment as something like sharing the stage with Hillary Clinton, or the six times she was nominated for an Emmy. Yet, for Jenny, landing a joke or going to a fancy award show pales in comparison to her true passion: giving people advice.Jenny is so obsessed with (addicted to?) offering unsolicited wisdom that she runs a sold-out live show in NewYork City called, appropriately, Jenny Hagel Gives Advice. With her debut essay collection, Jenny sets out to backseat drive for as many unwitting strangers as possible. The result is a heartfelt and funny journey through a list of life-changing recommendations, like: wear black when you travel, buy an analog watch, and just because you can go into the monkey enclosure while visiting Honduras doesn't mean that you should.EssaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Season 4 is officially underway, and we're kicking things off with COMEDIES—starting with the gloriously unhinged cult classic MacGruber. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the over-the-top action parody that somehow turns explosions, celery, and bad decisions into comedy gold. We talk Will Forte's fearless commitment, the movie's absurd humor, why it bombed before becoming a fan favorite, and how MacGruber sets the tone for a season dedicated to laughs.We also zoom out and talk about comedies today—how the genre has changed, what's missing, what's working… and ask the big question: are comedies dead? Or just evolving?If you love dumb humor done brilliantly—or just really hate Cunth—this one's for you.Got thoughts, favorite quotes, or comedy picks you want us to cover this season?

Judd Apatow is a filmmaker, producer, comedian, and writer. The movies that shaped so many of us were unapologetically funny and often pushed boundaries.

Expect to learn how to have gratitude for pain, how comedy saved Judd and why “you only learn by not being funny”, why bombing on stage is just R&D, how to keep your ego in check when being friends with someone whose career is suddenly outpacing your own, what it takes to harness more creativity, if the “comedy collective” model still works or if social media ended the long-table-read era, why comedy movies aren't funny anymore and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom New pricing since recording: Function is now just $365, plus get $25 off at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get a free bottle of D3K2, a Welcome Kit, Travel Packs, plus bonus gifts (US only) when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

(but thanks for that quote anyway). Hosted by Klein, Ally, and a cast of weirdos (both on the team and from their audience), the show is known for its raw, offbeat style, offering a mix of sarcastic banter, candid interviews, and an unfiltered take on everything from culture to the chaos of everyday life. With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal. 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.
