Get Off My Lawn Podcast w/ Gavin McInnesGet Off My Lawn Podcast #26 | You Ever Hear a Joke and You Go, "How is That a Joke?"As an incredibly funny person, I like to riff with strangers. Over the years, I’ve realized about 5% of the population can riff back. 30% of people enjoy humor and then there’s the 70% who are wondering why you’re saying a thing that isn’t true. Within the entire 95% of non-riffers there is this bizarre contingent of people who try to joke around by using random words that make absolutely no sense in a comedic context. I’ve written some of these down and would like to share them with you.
