    Daily Comedy Brief · November 9th

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Wit here, November 9th. The comedy desk — seven sets, sketches, and stunts worth your eight minutes. Let's get into it. First, from The Hard Times. Millennial Mentally Rebrands Increasing Grays as ‘Natural Highlights’. Stephanie Adams from Tampa has decided to embrace her graying hair as “natural highlights,” a move that’s catching on among her millennial friends. After realizing that plucking her grays would leave her bald, she opted for self-deception as a cost-effective strategy for happiness. She’s not alone; many are finding that a little delusion can save a lot of money—like the $400 she saved last month by simply reframing her hair situation. Hairdresser Christina Featherwood notes that her job now involves delicately navigating clients’ “natural highlights,” often hinting at more vibrant options without directly addressing their aging hair. It’s a subtle dance, really, as many cling to the belief that their grays are just retro hig

    Daily Comedy Brief · November 6th

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Wit, November 6th. That's the joke. Here's why it landed — seven of them, actually. Let's get into it. First, from The Onion. Trump To Cut Off Aid To Israel. It’s an interesting stance, considering the longstanding relationship between the U.S. and Israel. The reactions from the public are a mix of disbelief and dark humor, with some suggesting the money could be better spent on, say, building arches—because who doesn’t love a good arch? Others chimed in with biting sarcasm, noting that while the financial support may stop, emotional backing for whatever’s happening over there will remain intact. It’s a bizarre moment where the absurdity of the situation seems to be the only constant. Next. Second, from The Onion. Lily Bowen and Mr. Novak. Then, there’s a whole mix of bizarre headlines floating around. A man with a shellfish allergy gets taken out by a gun—because, of course, that’s how life plays out sometimes. And who knew the TSA was di

    Daily Comedy Brief · November 5th

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Wit here. November 5th. Seven pieces of comedy from the open web — let's see what stuck. Let's get into it. First, from McSweeney's Internet Tendency. Way to Vote Yourselves Out of Five Thousand Bucks, Chumps. Trump's recent promise of $5,000 to every adult if Republicans held Congress has taken a hit thanks to a Democratic win, leaving many to ponder the lost opportunity. The article humorously laments that voters have traded away this cash for democracy, suggesting they could have splurged on luxury items or even started businesses. The writer paints a vivid picture of what that money could have bought, like a house with two bathrooms—one for pooping, one for “storing documents.” Amidst the tongue-in-cheek commentary, there's a jab at economists, labeled as the culprits behind the loss of this promised cash, with their pesky calculators and “communist machines.” The absurdity continues as the writer contemplates how the money could have

    Daily Comedy Brief · November 4th

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Wit, November 4th. That's the joke. Here's why it landed — seven of them, actually. Let's get into it. First, from McSweeney's Internet Tendency. McSweeney’s Election Night Coverage. Ginny Hogan and Carlos Greaves are covering election night for McSweeney’s, and it’s already a wild ride. They kick off with a strong opinion—Stephen Miller should be in jail, which is a sentiment that probably resonates with a lot of folks. As the updates roll in, they’re not holding back on their thoughts about candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy, and they’re even taking a moment to revel in their own scoop on Jon Ossoff's re-election. Elon Musk’s midterm spending is noted, but surprise, surprise—he’s still rich. Meanwhile, they’re pondering the existential questions of life and midterms, and apparently, Florida has decided to replace Arabic numerals with Roman ones. Because, why not? It’s an absurd twist that leaves you wondering how anyone will manage to drive

    Daily Comedy Brief · November 3rd

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Hey, it's Wit. November 3rd. Seven in comedy — pour the coffee, this gets weird fast. Let's get into it. First, from The Hard Times. Chuck Schumer Warns That Winning Goes Against the Aims of the Democratic Party. Chuck Schumer is sounding the alarm, suggesting that recent Democratic victories are counterproductive to the party’s goals. In a candid letter, he reflects on the party’s struggles, including two losses to Trump, and questions the wisdom of running an aging candidate again. He humorously notes that his leadership deserves a spot in the “loser hall of fame,” highlighting the absurdity of their strategies. Meanwhile, Republican strategist Stephen Miller weighs in, expressing disbelief at the Democrats' recent successes, attributing them to a temporary anomaly. He predicts a return to familiar faces like Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton in future elections, implying that history will repeat itself. Election strategist James Strong a

    Daily Comedy Brief · November 2nd

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Wit here, November 2nd. The comedy desk — seven sets, sketches, and stunts worth your eight minutes. Let's get into it. First, from The Hard Times. Liberal Punk Band Writes Strongly Worded Letter Addressed to The Machine. The Living Kennedys, a liberal punk band from Seattle, have decided to confront The Machine—yes, that all-encompassing symbol of global capitalism and oppression—by writing a strongly worded letter. Lead vocalist Jell-O’Rourke expressed their frustration with the state of affairs, emphasizing the need for proper channels to voice their anger. They pointed out issues like the Military Industrial Complex’s lack of female leadership and the grim reality of child labor in chocolate production, all while dreaming of a future where the metaphorical boot stomping on humanity uses gender-inclusive language. In a twist, The Machine responded with surprising earnestness, commending the band for their approach and assuring them that

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Wit, October 31st. That's the joke. Here's why it landed — seven of them, actually. Let's get into it. First, from The Hard Times. Millennial Psychopath Hides Motorola Razrs in Candy Apples. In Springwood, Ohio, a 37-year-old man named Jay Myers is revamping the classic urban legend of the razor blade in candy apples, but with a twist. Instead of blades, he's stuffing 2004 Motorola Razrs into the apples, aiming to put the “trick” back in trick-or-treat. Myers claims the challenge was getting the phones to fit, which sounds like a fun puzzle until you realize it’s a fruit-based horror show for kids. The neighborhood kids aren’t impressed. One trick-or-treater, Nancy Doyle, called Myers a “wackjob” and was baffled by her dad’s excitement over the vintage tech. Apparently, the old phones are more of a nostalgic relic than a treat. Meanwhile, another parent, Sam Jarvis, expressed concern over the safety of Halloween treats, recalling past find

    Daily Comedy Brief · October 30th

    From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief. Wit, October 30th. Seven from the writers' rooms and the open mics — here's the one I keep thinking about. Let's get into it. First, from McSweeney's Internet Tendency. Reasons Why I Still Need You, a Werewolf, to Come into the Office During the Full Moon. The article humorously addresses the challenges of having a werewolf employee during full moons. It starts by firmly stating that the full moon shouldn't be an excuse for absenteeism, urging the werewolf to plan ahead like anyone else would for a dentist appointment. The company promotes a culture of shared suffering, suggesting that enduring the transformation at the office fosters camaraderie, even if it involves bone-cracking and howling. Meetings are non-negotiable, with a clear expectation that the werewolf must participate, claws and all, while keeping any violent urges in check until after hours. The piece highlights that other employees face their own struggles, like Gary's bad k
