Geoffrey Asmus, "The Only Funny White Man," joins Mike Pesca to prove why his comedy special is making Bill Burr weep (allegedly). In this episode of Funny You Should Mention, Asmus deconstructs the theological superiority of the Catholics, why he memorized every world capital to avoid the temptations of puberty, and bravely defends the joke about his hot cousin that nearly tore his family apart. It's a masterclass in stand-up for "smart alpha's who f*ck" - covering everything from his hatred of LinkedIn to the structural necessity of spacing out oral sex jokes.
