During their conversation, Will and Lou discuss Lou's new book titled "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" about how wokeness is killing comedy. They talk about the struggles of being a comedian and why it's more important than ever that we laugh at and make jokes about EVERYONE - regardless of identity markers.
