David and Steve invite comedian Liz Blanc to talk about why her school shooting jokes work and how to take a topic so divisive and make it so funny. Though we may not be in school, class is in session as Liz breaks down school shooting jokes by David Cross and Louis CK exploring what’s funny, what’s not, why, and how to create a fresh and funny angle that proves you can laugh at that.

We cover empathy, education, punching up vs. punching down, mental health, absurdity, intention in comedy, and giving kids acid.
