#67 - Un Puñetazo En El Estómago - (B.J Smith & Jay Middleton)

The group engaged in a wide-ranging discussion about family dynamics, parenting, and experiences in the comedy industry. Marianne shared her thoughts on vacationing with family and the importance of positive male role models, while Jamal discussed his challenging experiences with multiple stepfathers growing up. The conversation then shifted to the challenges of performing comedy in rural areas, particularly in northern Michigan where BJ lives, with limited venue options and long drives required for performances. The discussion included sharing personal stories about being attacked on stage, with Jamal recounting being sucker-punched by a fellow comedian at a show, and Jay sharing his experience being ambushed by a feminist comic after performing a joke about his unborn daughter. The group also watched and discussed a viral video about a woman who engaged in 30 days of revenge against her ex-boyfriend, leading to a broader conversation about what would motivate someone to exact such elaborate revenge.
