Jack Antonoff: Jokes Are The Melodies Of Comedy
(Recorded May 2021) Mike welcomes Jack Antonoff who, in addition to writing the music for this podcast, is a Grammy Award-winning musician and frontman for the band Bleachers. He has collaborated and co-written songs with Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, and today he collaborates with Mike on jokes about death and mortality as the two old friends dive deep into the afterlife crisis, what defines “a herb,” and what it means for an artist to “dare to suck.” This episode is packed with jokes, heavy on craft and sprinkled with love.
