It's an odd thing to write a joke and then listen to the President say it.
It's very weird.
Scott Aukerman, you may not know the name -
- but he's one of the most interesting people working and innovating in comedy today.
He's the co-creator of the wildly popular online series Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis
interviewing the likes of Brad Pitt, Barack Obama, Justin Bieber - to name a few.
He's the creator of the TV show Comedy Bang! Bang!
His podcast commands over two million listeners a month.
Not only that, he's built a network called Earwolf for other comedians to podcast.
Firstly, welcome to the show.
Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.
So I want to start with Earwolf...
Because initially it must have been 'this is a thing I'm doing with friends because it amuses me'
Was there a moment you realised 'oh shit, this is huge?'
It has been really interesting. I kinda knew that podcasting was gonna be big.
