Blind Patriotism with Maz Jobrani | The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi

Comedian Maz Jobrani along with guest co-host Joyelle Nicole Johnson joins us to share the downsides of coming up at the Comedy Store in LA, getting asked to wear a certain outfit by a booker, doing a tour featuring Arab-American comedians, growing up in Iran in the 70s, being driven around in a Rolls-Royce as a kid, and how Nightline was born out of the Iran hostage crisis.

More about Gianmarco:
Gianmarco Soresi is a stand-up comedian, actor, and a little too much for some people. He’s told jokes on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central, Netflix’s Bonding, Don’t Tell, The Real Housewives of New York for some reason, and he was a JFL New Face in 2022. He’s acted in Billy Crystal’s Here Today, Hustlers, The Last OG, and in his theater days shared the stage with some people who’ve gone on to become huge real estate agents. You can see him post the kind of crowdwork clips that are arguably destroying the artform of stand-up comedy everywhere @gianmarcosoresi and he obviously has a podcast called The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi.🎤

Amazing episode. It was really nice to see Maz aside from his comedy shows and I loved every subject that was discussed.
I'll be waiting for more great episodes❤️

[@GianmarcoSoresi]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Lonray11]

One of the best episodes yet! Joyelle is a joy.

[@Thingdeux]

Love to hear Bernie Mac references still going strong in 2023! Incredibly entertaining episode!

Joyelle Nicole Johnson, has got to be thee most beautiful woman to _ever_ sit on that sofa. If she ever needs a serious career change, modelling could _so_ very easily, be in her cards. Until then, we get to watch her shine wherever she chooses to be. Lots of love to ya woman, keep on crushing it. 🤗💕
*Cheers! 🍻

Gianmarco for Tovah’s cpap (please correct me if I misspelt her name): she can return the cpap machine instead of paying for it in full if she doesn’t use it. You can wear the cpap for her which will get insurance to continue covering machine and not help her sleep apnea if she doesn’t use it. She can contact the company and trial a nasal mask if she is not a mouth breather. The pressure needs to ramp up slowly and I think you can adjust the settings to start at a lower pressure. The pressure ramps up when you are sleeping as needed to relieve the obstruction. Kudos to her for getting sleep apnea treated because I know it is good for her health and I can also acknowledge the machine can be a hassle to manage.

The US doesn't have a healthcare system, it has an insurance extortion system.
That said - when are you coming back to Seattle? I promise you'll get more than 8 people. 🙂

[@GianmarcoSoresi]

January!! Announcing soon

[@bondrewedthesoverignofdawn1477]

Can I just say, this is a very relatable podcast. You sit just like me

[@jordang7479]

Maz played my favorite character on Better off Ted! Turns out he's a cool guy in real life too

[@glitch84-]

What! I've completely forgotten about better off ted! Thank you for reminding me

[@yramismynamenowdealwithit]

So informative 👏🏼 thanks for introducing me to Maz ❤

[@0urMutualFriend]

See you in London 😉

[@Imbatmn57]

54:28 this is what happens when dvds arent readily available and parents dont introduce kids to the movies they've watched. I never watched the godfather but ive seen clips on yt.

[@bondrewedthesoverignofdawn1477]

Its a brilliant movie. The part 1 and 2 are recommended

[@enzomthethwa5861]

I love her "Abortion Yacht Club" sweatshirt. LOL

TIP = To Insure Promptitude … that’s why you tip before. No one knows that now though.

[@Lerkero]

I dont want to pay someone extra just so that they do the thing i paid them for. Instead of requiring a tip to do your job efficiently, just charge me what the service is worth to you upfront. Otherwise i will find someone else to do business with

[@amazinggrace5692]

@@Lerkero The pre tip is to insure extra timely, good service

[@Lerkero]

@amazinggrace5692 which implies that if i dont tip then they are less likely give timely or good service. Basically, they wont do their job well if i dont pay more than what im charged. This is bad business to me
