Comedian Josh Gondelman (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) joins us to talk a little about the very first Men In Black. How does the film hold up? Is it okay to like Will Smith again? How good was Barry Sonnenfeld at making this type of goofy genre movie? Why won't Hollywood just give Rick Baker a trillion dollars to keep making movie magic? All these questions and more are answered as Vespe, Wampler, and Gondelman look back at the highest earning movie of 1997. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"If I'm only for myself, what am I?" Josh Gondelman is polite, he's from Boston, and he's damn funny. Gondelman riffs on applying ancient Judaism wisdom to deciding what he'll have for dinner. Also — questions on capitalism and understanding the 'how' and why that relates to more industries than ever. And the role of music (in particular live music) in his life, including the favourite music moment he'd kill to relive.

At times, Nice Try is a book about failure. Josh Gondelman chronicles his struggles as as up and coming comedian, love woes and awkward teenage attempts to be cool — all topics that might be a touch too painful had things not worked out so well. When he meets up with me, he’s just come from his gig writing on the Showtime series for the beloved Bronx duo, Desus and Mero. It’s a gig he left John Oliver’s equally beloved Last Week Tonight for. Like I said, things are going just fine for the Brooklyn-based comedian. Indeed, when “the nicest guy in comedy” is what people call you behind your back, things are probably going pretty well. In the wake of his new collection of essays, Gondelman joined us to talk about standup, teaching preschool and reliving one’s awkward youth. Oh, and here’s Josh’s curated reading list for the inaugural and almost certainly finally RiYL book club.

On The Gist, the news media is getting better at demoting the names of America’s mass shooters. That’s a good thing, even as the internet’s darker corners do the opposite. In the interview, comedian Josh Gondelman is from Boston, but he often comes across as Minnesota nice. Can a comedian get laughs without being a bit of an asshole? Gondelman discusses that, his latest comedy album—Dancing on a Weeknight—and why writing for Showtime’s Desus & Mero involves shedding fewer tears than does scripting Last Week Tonight.  In the Spiel, if you’re going to enjoy this Avengers: Endgame parody, you’ll have to contend with a spoiler or two.

Looking for a cheery, encouraging guide to improving your life? A reminder that nothing is really all that bad, and you can still pick yourself up and make a big success of yourself? Look elsewhere! In their new book You Blew It! (Penguin, 2015), writers Josh Gondelman and Joe Berkowitz dash those dreams against the rocks of reality, and instead point out that you’ve seriously blown it already, in every aspect of life from love and sex to roommates and career choice. And don’t forget family. Oh, how we sometimes wish we could forget family. We’re kidding. Kind of. Gondelman and Berkowitz have hardly ruined their own lives – Gondelman is a stand-up comedian and Emmy-nominated writer for “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” and Berkowitz is a writer and editor for Fast Company. Their book is a fast and funny guide to the many pitfalls of everything from parties to Facebook. They list out friendships to avoid (the “Never Carries Cash Friend” and “Suddenly Got Really Religious Friend” are two examples) and advise you on how not to compliment someone (never tell someone she “cleans up nicely,” or tell him he looks like a random celebrity he may or may not find attractive). Gondelman and Berkowitz join podcast host Gael Fashingbauer Cooper (who was once told she looked like Marie Osmond and still doesn’t know what to make of that) to discuss lives ruined and not ruined.

I hope you all are ready for a beautiful journey. Back in April, I hosted a live version of the show from my Harlem digs that we streamed out live on the internet. With the help of Cogo, a Kickstarter-like company for charities, I used it as a benefit for this great all-volunteer, no-kill cat shelter Kitty Kind. Joining me were Josh Gondelman from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, YouTube star Franchesca Ramsey and musical guest Aly Spaltro AKA Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. We goofed around a lot, Josh and I pitched a bunch of TV shows, Franchesca told us about her worst job, and Aly played some amazing songs.Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, and follow me on Twitter!
