dear josh,

another banger*!

* great piece, if my mom is reading this (also, what are people younger than i am calling "bangers" these days? surely it must be something else by now)

this is very funny: "In all honesty, I sometimes worry that people will catch on to the fact that 50% of what I’m doing onstage is just ripping off Gary, but lazy (the other 50% is ripping off Mike Birbiglia, but boring)."

some day (maybe even today), there will be comedians out there worried people will see through their facade of doing Josh Gondelman (but mean)!

thanks for sharing, friend!

love

PS "Dipshit Sonata" is DELIGHTFUL!

Your friends song is fantastic!

Also, I love Demi! I watch all his September videos on the 21st. I wish he would make more.

How has this been a story for a solid week, yet this is the first time in my experience of this absurd news cycle that a genius said BOTH “sexual intercouch” and “cushion pushin’” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks Josh this post made my day!

I needed a pick-me-up and as always, this newsletter delivered. Did I expect that picking-up to involve multiple references to JD Vance’s possible couch-o-philia? no, but I will take it!

also, thank you for reminding me of the greatest rap verse to start with an (admittedly not very creative) knock knock joke over an all-timer beat

This is HILARIOUS!!! I think I even had tears in my eyes from laughing at some point--SO GOOD! I might be a miserable cat lady, but I have a great time sometimes! >^. . ^<

It’s such a shame Kanye passed away alongside his mother. Such a sweet story though. Wonder what he would have done next. I guess we’ll never know. 🤷‍♂️

The "divanilingus" candidate... the divanilingus presidency...

At least we will have the autocracy with the best jokes. Take that, former communist countries!

I studiously avoid reading/watching/listening to anything to do with the Orange Baby. Now, in one reading, I've learned who J.D. Vance is and that divanilingus is a thing(?). The payback was Gary Gulman's work of genius. No thanks but thanks. I stole that from Josh. Here's to your continued good health. Mazel Tov!

What what what? Deep dish latkes? I need to get out more.

Wow it’s been a while since we’ve experienced angry (yet of course still charming and funny) Josh, even when you go on a rant on The Bugle. And I love it! Saying things that need to be said!
