I find the Nateland podcast boring, tho.dad wrote:a little late to the game on Bargatze, but that dude is funny. i feel like - in the world of comedy - it takes a lot more work to do your act without swearing, and still be funny. we've just come to expect comedians to cuss in order to elevate a bit for laughs. he doesn't even yell or get that excited. it's great.
i know there are plenty of other comedians who don't cuss (Gaffigan, maybe), but Bargatze is doing well for himself. his podcast is pretty good too.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
