Jim and Shelli welcomed back Jackie Martling this morning, and as usual "The Joke Man" launched a barrage of jokes throughout his visit and peppered the show with his unmistakable laughter.
Jim, Shelli and "The Joke Man" get into everyone's favorite "lyrical interpreter" William Shatner and his new Christmas album. Plus everyone collectively shares the pain of our totally unpredictable winter weather. Martling reveals that he's moved into the streaming age as well- his entire catalogue of comedy recordings can be accessed by simply asking Alexa to "play Jackie Martling." We've truly entered the golden age for jokes.
Jackie sits in during Strange News, which featuring stories about porn, farts, and drunks. We like to make our guests feel comfortable.
Later Jackie dishes on the new documentary currently in production about his storied career. He also gets into his long history with the notorious "The Aristocrats" joke- widely considered the filthiest joke of all time.
