## Resource

The Daily Show host and incredibly prolific YouTube comic’s HBO Max special is our target for this week’s review. Last week, Colton did a mic for no one, got a ride home from a dude who couldn’t find his truck, and caught Mark Normand live (0:20). Jay got cornhole sore (10:15). Colton’s hot take on Brazilian butt lifts (11:30). Trailer/Bio (18:25). Overal impressions, Johnson’s YouTube release schedule is insane and the theme of this special is clear (20:25). A “kimono” review in Colton Drake: Fashionisto (26:40). Colton wants Jay to get a skull tattoo (36:40). Overall impressions of Josh’s longform comedy (47:25). We disagree on whether the ending was good (56:55). Colton explains “microdosing infinity” to himself for 4 minutes (1:02:40). Our favorite bits (1:06:40). Good hang/Better name/Top 5/What would you emulte (1:18:50)? Listener mail (1:22:40). “Comics You Should Follow” (@johnhoeft and @joshoceanthomas (1:24:50). Upcoming gigs (1:26:35).
