Irreverently good.

I learned a lot about Paul Mooney from this podcast. I am familiar with his work, even if he was often behind the scenes. A great comedic performer for certain.

Give Us MORE!!!

Laughter is the antidote for all the misery in our world today. Everyone has to be politically correct and is hypersensitive to constructive feedback...watch that you don't get shot over simple words...even the words "don't shoot".

Great Intro

Just a little taste of what is to come. These are greats I heard when growing up.

Stellar.

Anyone offended by the language is deflecting from respecting the Black History and the humanity of these historic individuals. Stop with the fake outrage and learn the history lesson.
