This Better Be Funny Podcast: This Better Be Funny Ep. 82 Despicable Edition with Sean O’Connor

Another episode of This Better Be Funny mini-series “Despicable Edition”where we have a guest square off with co-host Jeremy Paul, who admitted to basically being a baby boxing promoter, in a “despicable/embarrassing story off” is here. This week, Sean O’Connor (Conan), a man who told off Bon Jovi, who has a pretty formidable tale in one of the worst girlfriends ever by virtue of the fact that she tried to frame him for a felony. 

Listen to how Sean survived that, what Jeremy will admit to from his past, what story wins based off Jake’s decision/possible bias against his co-host, and if Sean wins a cassette tape of David Gray (Yep, that’s what he was playing for).

This Better Be Funny Ep. 81 Despicable Edition with Sean Patton

One of Jake and Jeremy’s favorite guests, the hilarious Sean Patton, who you should know from Conan, Fallon, Comedy Central, and more joins in for The Despicable Edition of This Better Be Funny. The “shameless story off" pits a really twisted story of an ex-girlfriend vs. really underground illegal boxing. What’s illegal and what’s twisted and who is telling which story AND does Sean win the prize of a cassette tape of his choice?

You’ll just have to listen to find out.

Also, you should listen because Jake got his car towed while recording this episode making it probably among the most expensive podcast episodes ever produced

This Better Be Funny Ep. 80 The Despicable Edition w/Alex Hooper

This Better Be Funny

As part of an a mini-series experiment, Jake and Jeremy are having a “Despicable Edition" of the This Better Be Funny Podcast. Given Jeremy’s nickname as ‘Evil’ coming from living in the projects, they have their guest tell the most embarrassing, shameful story they’ll admit to in an attempt to “out-despicable" Jeremy. After their story, they’ll pick the story Jeremy will tell from a few titles only and based on Jake’s sheltered, privileged judgment, the guest might win a prize in the form of a cassette tape of their choice if they beat out Jeremy Paul depraved gentleman’s contest.

The guest/contestant this week is Alex Hooper who has carved his way into the LA Comedy scene with his stand up as well as great comedy shows on rooftops and in warehouses and, man oh man, does he have one hell of a story about ignoring your friends in who you’re taking home from the bar for this Despicable Edition of TBBF. 

Listen to see if Alex or Jeremy wins/admits to having done the more shameful thing.

Also, what might be more attractive to some of you is that this new format is only about 30 min. long in addition to being pretty damn entertaining the whole way through.

Catch Up on Our Podcast, This Better Be Funny, As We’re Experimenting With It a Little Bit

We’ve been doing our podcast, This Better Be Funny, for over a year now and while we’ve enjoyed riffing it out with some of the funniest comedians we can catch at anywhere from their car to an alley to a dive bar to a Denny’s to the stairs of a Church, we’re trying a little experiment coming next week.

Given that co-host Jeremy Paul has been oft-described as evil and has the stories to back it up, we thought it would be pretty great if we had our guests try to “out-despicable” Jeremy with a story of their own for the prize of a cassette tape of their choice* (*that’s what Jeremy had on hand for a prize). Co-host Jake Kroeger will decide, after the guest’s story and a story of Jeremy’s chosen from slips of paper by the guest, which is more detestable and if the guest wins said cassette tape* (cassette tape player not provided).

The first episode of this ‘Despicable mini-series’ on This Better Be Funny starts off with some pretty great depravity with Alex Hooper this Monday, so tune in then.

In the meantime, catch up on all these great episodes (we’ve got a lot of them since we’ve been doing it for a year) like the one embedded above with Jake Weisman and random girls pissing on his car in which we were recording in and many others featuring the comedic riffing brilliance of:

Byron Bowers
Jerrod Carmichael
