   Jimmy Carr is Right, Comedians Should be Professors

   Can you teach someone to be funny? On Works Every Time episode 149, Justin Essenmacher, Markus Olind, and Phillip Garcia turn a discussion of Jimmy Carr’s comedy class into their own imaginary Comedy University. The curriculum covers crowd work, networking, working different comedy rooms, and handling hecklers—with a drink ticket waiting at graduation. Justin also revisits a recent confrontation with a drunk couple at a stand-up show. Before class starts, the guys riff on communion to go, Halloween candy etiquette, childhood haunted houses, and accidentally bringing beers to a church trunk-or-treat. A disagreement over farting becomes a test of friendship. Then Bit Pitch takes on Entourage as male smut, the violence of crushed-ice dispensers, instruction manuals, and Schnitzel’s territorial ambitions.

   What Makes a Man?

   Three hosts, three separate adventures, somehow still one episode. Works Every Time episode 148 enters “The Splash Zone” as Phillip Garcia, Markus Olind, and Justin Essenmacher turn a scheduling problem into an experiment in making a podcast apart. Phil sits down with his friend Jeff, a comedian and Army veteran, to talk about what makes a man, philosophy degrees, ethics, and Socrates. Jeff shares his experiences in Afghanistan, while their conversation detours into pest control, terrible security jobs, and Phil’s ongoing battle to actually get served at Pappadeaux. Markus broadcasts from his man cave with Schnitzel, showing off dinosaurs and sports jerseys while reflecting on comedy burnout, honesty, and putting positivity into the world. He also explains why Phil is the human equivalent of Buffalo Chicken Dip. Justin attempts a day off that becomes a nicotine run, an argument with modern ICEE flavors, a tour of his coffee mugs, and an increasingly ambitious kitchen cleaning project. Between childhood fishing memories and a Carole Baskin mug he regrets buying, relaxing turns out to take some work.

   AI Is Already Taking Comedians' Jobs

   Is AI already taking comedians’ jobs? In episode 147 of the Works Every Time comedy podcast, Justin Essenmacher, Markus Olind, and Phillip Garcia discuss AI-generated stand-up clips, joke theft, and whether live comedy becomes more valuable as synthetic performers flood social media. They compare their experiments with ChatGPT and Codex for video editing, booking outreach, and organizing comedy ideas—and debate what happens when convenience starts replacing creative thinking. Then Justin’s Jamboree gets a Halloween edition: What gives Freddy Krueger nightmares? What would Jason Voorhees buy at a hardware store? And what would Michael Myers say if he finally spoke? The episode also includes Markus’s birthday, a chaotic retelling of The Boondock Saints, and Bit Pitch, where the hosts develop new stand-up material together. It’s a mix of comedy-industry conversation, horror-movie riffs, and friends turning ridiculous questions into arguments.
