😂 Far Too Funny List
📺 Watching - I was flicking through Prime Video and thought I’d take a look at Tom Segura’s special Completely Normal. In a very relaxed style, he talks about why he needs a hobby. Don’t ever stay in the same hotel as him! I also really enjoyed his story of visiting the doctor.
🎧 Listening - One of the other categories for the Chortle Awards is Best Podcast. I hadn’t heard of any of them. So I’m making my way down the list. This week I listened to Three Bean Salad with Mike Wozniak, Ben Partridge and Henry Paker. The episode was mainly about James Bond but these boys love a tangent. And Jesse Plemons. They’ve also built quite the following. Not only can you buy a Three Bean Salad puzzle - which seemingly no one can complete - but they have people argue they are the most radioactive listener!
📕 Reading - I had quite a big writing session earlier this week. I wanted a quick refresher on the different types of jokes I could write so I opened up the article: Every Joke Falls in One of 11 Categories, Says Founding Editor of The Onion.
