In this snack episode, John Moe—host of Depresh Mode and Sleeping with Celebrities—shares memories with Ophira Eisenberg of sneaking into R-rated movies as a kid, including the terrifying but oddly comical Alien chest-burster scene that was softened by nearby jokesters comparing it to a hot dog with ketchup. He recalls being deeply shaken by The Exorcist and a low-budget Bigfoot “documentary,” which hit especially hard growing up in the Pacific Northwest. Moe also talks about the movies he's passed down to his kids—Back to the Future, The Blues Brothers, Smokey and the Bandit, and Star Wars—while reflecting on how their pacing collides with today's faster attention spans. Watching E.T. as an adult made him empathize more with the stressed single mother and even the government researchers than with the kids. Shifting to parenting, he describes handling discipline through conversations about consequences rather than punishment, being impressed by his teens' self-regulation with social media, and missing the portability of younger children more than the sleeplessness. He admits he never kept journals—unless there was a chance to get paid for writing—but loved the sense of renewal around back-to-school rituals. Ultimately, Moe says parenting has taught him that raising kids, like jazz, is improvisation, and he once even wrote a Sharpie “P” on his hand as a reminder to practice patience.

Two years after October 7th, the Comedy Cellar hosts Bret Stephens (New York Times), Coleman Hughes (The Free Press), and Michael Moynihan (The Fifth Column) for a discussion of how the Hamas war against Israel ignited something larger — and perhaps more enduring. The panel explores: How sympathy for Israel inverted almost overnight into hostility toward Jews. The emergence of “October 8th Jews” and the new sense of isolation in America. The Plight of the Long Suffering Palestinians Double Standards The rise of conspiratorial right-wing rhetoric and the failure of moderates to confront it.

In this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, John Moe talks to Ophira Eisenberg about raising three kids while juggling multiple jobs in public radio, writing, and podcasting. He recalls his parents' Norwegian roots, including summers spent above the Arctic Circle and the bone-dry humor of his father, whose jokes sometimes landed days later. Comedy became the family's shared language, even as emotional expression was stifled at home, and Moe admits he often repeats phrases from his parents—like telling his kids to “snap out of it”—despite his professional focus on mental health. He describes how having a third child “broke” him in a liberating way, leading to their move from Seattle to Minnesota, where three-kid families felt more culturally normal. The conversation weaves through memories of Carol Burnett and Monty Python, misheard church greetings like “Metellina Moe,” and the difference between depression and simple misery, before circling back to Moe's mission of making space for open conversations about mental health—work informed by losing his brother to suicide. The episode closes with Moe comparing shifting stigma around therapy to societal changes in littering and drunk driving: slow progress, but progress nonetheless.

Recorded live at the Comedy Cellar in New York City: I sat down with Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist, best-selling author, and world-class debunker of doom, to talk about his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…:Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life.  We got into this idea of “common knowledge”: what we all know and know that everyone else knows. It may sound abstract, but really it underlies everything. It is our shared awareness that lets us coordinate, bluff, protest, and panic together. We also talk about assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the changing style of comedy and its audience, and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this Parenting is a Joke snack episode, ​head-writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Danny Ricker joins Ophira Eisenberg to talk about how his work and family worlds overlap in unpredictable ways. He shares how writing jokes for Kimmel during the pandemic meant working from his garage while his kids crashed Zoom meetings, and why pitching jokes with a toddler tugging on his sleeve changed the whole dynamic of the room. Danny recalls how his children's blunt feedback sometimes lands harder than a network note, and how bedtime stories often turn into test runs for monologue material. He describes the strange pride of seeing his kids repeat late-night style jokes at school, including one about Guillermo that got surprisingly big laughs on the playground. The conversation comes full circle when Danny admits the most nerve-wracking audience he's ever faced isn't Jimmy, the network, or a celebrity guest—but his own kids at the dinner table.

In this episode of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg talks with Danny Ricker, head writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live and author of Wow, You Look Terrible: How to Parent Less and Live More. Ricker shares how the book's title came from the daily mirror shock of his early parenting years, when exhaustion rewired him permanently into a 5:30 a.m. riser. He describes raising two kids—an 11-year-old daughter who now bonds with him over The Simpsons and an eight-year-old son who still delights in simple joys like rocks—while recalling how his wife and he started dating at 15 and played husband and wife in a high school production of Neil Simon's Rumors. The conversation touches on his long career at Kimmel, his obsession with productivity and self-help books, and his favorite invention from his own parenting survival guide: the “purgatory cabinet,” a foolproof system for making unwanted toys disappear. By the end, he explains why tossing one Lego a day might be the most effective jailbreak from clutter, comparing it to tunneling out of prison “one scratch at a time.”

Comedian Dusty Slay is back again and Bobby reveals that he did not like him when they first met because of his salesmanship. Dusty was opening for Bob and wanted to supplement his income by selling merch. A few headlining comics are rumored to lowball the money to the other comedians on their shows. Dusty comes from the Nashville scene with Nate Bargatze's gang, so he hasn't heard one of their favorite old stories about comedy court. In the early days, Jay did a few shows with Bobby and had to be the driver and opener. Bob assaults him while he's sleeping and then ultimately stiffs him on the cut of the money! The Comedy Cellar comedians hold a full court hearing at the back table to determine who was at fault. Go to DustySlay.com for tour dates and info!

Zarna Garg is a force of nature with a microphone. The award-winning comedian, author, producer and screenwriter brought her sharp, relatable family humor to her first streaming special, “One in a Billion.” When Zarna's not at the Comedy Cellar opening for icons like Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler or appearing on The Tonight Show and Late Night, she's selling out headlining shows worldwide. Zarna made her acting debut in New York Times Critics pick “A Nice Indian Boy.” She also has a podcast, “The Zarna Garg Family Podcast,” that explores modern life with her husband and kids. She joins Google to discuss her book, “This American Woman: A One-In-A-Billion Memoir.” The memoir tells the story of her treacherous climb from a homeless teen in Mumbai to an unhinged stay-at-home mom in New York, and then to an internationally beloved stand-up comedian. It's an exuberant story of fighting for your right to determine your own destiny and triumph beyond what you dreamed was possible. Watch this episode at youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle.

The pandemic playbook was ripped up in 2020—but did the replacements work? Was Great Barrington/Sweden the better way?

Comedian, freestyler, and archaeology grad Chris Turner joins the show to explain how a middle-class British kid  became one of the most dazzling improv lyricists in comedy. From his early days writing one-liners to mesmerizing crowds at the Comedy Cellar with rhymes about chlamydia, Hispaniola, and Jerry Springer, Turner charts a path that makes no sense—until you see it live. He talks about bombing in polite accents, fax machines causing drive-by shootings, and why freestyling is more like tennis than chess. Plus: ear-wiggling, axolotl envy, and the double-edged sword of being good at something nobody believes you can do.

It's a hilarious and heartfelt Chit Chat Wednesday as Jared Freid sits down with comedian Eric Neumann, fresh off the release of his brand-new YouTube special, Almost Engaged. Together, they dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, and the comedy that comes from it all.Eric opens up about his not-quite engagement and the real-life relationship that inspired the special, including his brother's chaotic divorce and the now-infamous couch painting that came with it. The two comics explore the tricky process of turning personal pain into punchlines, the healing power of yoga, and why post-breakup dating is its own kind of trauma response. Jared shares his experiences with joke-building after a breakup, the moments that still make him cringe (including the coffee bit that got him on The Tonight Show), and how to know when it's time to let go of material and people.From the origin story of “Napkin Neumann” at the Comedy Cellar to a deep discussion on vulnerability, timing, and growing past heartbreak, this episode is packed with honesty, laughter, and insight into how comedians turn real-life chaos into cathartic comedy.Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors!Get 10% off your Hero Bread order with the code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co
