114: Mt Rushmore of Hacky Stand-Up Comedy Topics (w/ Murray Valeriano)

What’s the deal with stand-up comedians? I mean, they don’t really “stand up” during their shows – they walk on-stage and then stay standing the whole time! And also, what’s up with all of the hacky premises that get used for routines? No, seriously – what’s up with them?

This week, we try to find out and we’ve brought along a special guest – stand-up comedian and host of the Road Stories podcast Murray Valeriano. He and Jeff share their tales from the road and their takes on some of the hackiest of stand-up topics, while Richard and Michael take on the role of opening act and special judges.
