Chapter 1: What is the significance of the Knicks advancing to the NBA Finals?
What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flagrant. And today we are feeling optimistic. Today we are feeling good. The New York Knicks have advanced after 27 years to the NBA Finals. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Big, big, big applause. We got our boy Nate Jackson here who came to celebrate the Knicks' victory. He was in Harold's squad. where he was driving by.
You guys probably know him from his comedy. You've seen maybe his Netflix special. You've seen him online.
Chapter 2: How does Nate Jackson connect with the Knicks' victory?
But even Nate, a person from the West Coast, wanted to feel greatness in this city.
He booked his shows at the Brooklyn Improv. He did two weekends in a row to make sure that he could be here just in case the Knicks extended past four games, but they swept. Obviously, it's what we do in the playoffs now.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of comedy segregation in today's scene?
So, Nate, thank you so much for your contribution to New York's Knicks lore.
I think I'm the reason you guys won. Just because you needed somebody who missed basketball as much as me to be in the city so that they just felt that energy. Buckets, you know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know if this is good for the city or bad. Obviously, it's good because you needed a win, but you guys don't know how to act. This is ridiculous.
Yeah, yeah. We're united, man. This feels like 9-12. Yeah.
You're united in, that's hilarious. You're united in anarchy, though. They are literally like, I saw a grandma crowd surfing. It's pandemonium.
People think New Yorkers are relaxed. I don't know why. We've never been relaxed.

Chapter 4: How does the algorithm affect diversity in comedy?
That's never, nobody has ever been like, let's talk about New Yorkers. People think that we're just vibing and cooling. Definitely LA, that's us. Is that you guys? You guys are wound up. What's up, yo? What's up? It's Brick out here, yo. Fucking freak out here, yo. What's up, son? Oh, my God, son. What the fuck? Look at that. Wow, son. But you usually just see us angry and disappointed, right?
Yeah, you guys are loud. But we're loud and positive. No. No. You didn't see positivity oozing in the streets right there? It's not positive or negative. The normal New York that I know is just, like, loud. And it's not.
They're like, peanut butter. My girl left me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, it's not sanity. That's insanity. Yeah, we're insane people.
We've got to be insane people in this city.
We're passionate people. Yeah. Yeah.
You know what we got? We got jail and prison! We got OJW! We got jail and prison! We got jail and prison! We got jail and prison! We got jail and prison! We got jail and prison!
I mean, people are just going crazy.
There's a million of these videos. And that's his inside voice. That's what I'm saying. And that's the women. That's ridiculous.

Chapter 5: What insights does Nate Jackson share about crowd work in comedy?
So if you give people crowd work, they're going to go, okay, this whole show is going to be crowd work. They're for sure online being like, all he does is crowd work. And people are like, go to a show. It's way more. No, I'm saying when they show up. Yeah, I've had that too. And are they upset when they don't see it initially? No, because they get it.
It's not like me doing my material keeps it here, and then I go, all right, crowd work, and then we come up here. Your material's conversational in the same way.
Chapter 6: How do crowd work and material differ in authenticity?
No, I'm ripping. I'm sweating wet, wiping my brow, and then I'm like, are you motherfuckers ready for some crowd work? After that, then they're like, oh. The other night, a guy was like,
that wasn't the crowd work?
Like he didn't even realize. I'm just, I came out. I'm trying to, that's that hunger, that young, you know, when you're like, I gotta kill, I gotta kill. I still have that. And now it's a chip to where I'm like, okay, y'all think the crowd work is, how can that possibly be better than something I looked at twice? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, how can it be raw?
If it's the second time I said it, I'm trying to channel how I said it so that it felt as authentic the first time. Right. Crowd work is the most authentic, purest form of stand-up, period. Otherwise, you're just a teleprompter. Yeah. Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah. The pushback I would say is that I don't think that a joke you really believe in and care about is inauthentic.
I think that recreating that moment... But I wouldn't say that's pushback. I'd say that's just a different conversation. Yeah. If we're talking about material... Bet. Yeah. Let's say the material is about your father, right? How can that be inauthentic?

Chapter 7: What are the Enhanced Games and why are they controversial?
Exactly. Right? Yeah. But if you talk to somebody and right there they tell you they have Alzheimer's and then you are pulling from what you know about it. I think people not crowd work and I don't think it's fair. I think there's a lot of frustration around comics who maybe they don't. There's one, a lot of shitty crowd work out there, but there's also a lot of shitty just jokes out there.
But like, I also think that there's a lot of comics who like, they just don't feel inclined to talk to the audience. They're really not curious about the audience and they don't, they're maybe not good at it, but they see crowd work as the way to succeed. So there's like a little resentment maybe for it.
But I think if you're, if you're genuinely curious about the audience and you enjoy the interaction, you shouldn't shy away from it.
Chapter 8: What happens when a plane hits a paraglider?
Like because some people are being critical of it. I feel the same way about impressions. Like some people like hate impressions. They're like, it's not stand up. It's cool, but it's not a joke. But then there are some people that do impressions that have jokes built into it brilliantly. And you're like, that's unbelievable. So I just think there's levels to all these different styles of comp.
People are going to get money. I think people are upset or frustrated by crowd work just because they see so many clips of them. Those are the clips that people are putting out more than their actual bits. Because that's what you can recreate. You can't put four hours of jokes out every week. So now people are just like, oh, this is what everybody does now. That's what I was tempted to do.
Because I like how Josh Johnson is like, I'm going to focus on this one thing and lock in. It's unbelievable. And just pin game it. It's all good. He has to have a writer's table. I don't give a fuck about that. I don't think Josh does. I'm sure it's all him, but I'm just talking shit. But I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, on what flight did you write that hour?
Well, here's what he has that you don't have is autism. And that allows you to lock in and put the pen to paper for seven straight days with an hour of new material about it. It's unbelievable. Yeah, we were asking him, like, yeah, how do you do it? And he was like, that's just all I think about. He told us.
Yeah, he just literally focuses on it. I just spent the whole week working on it.
He also said he has like memory tricks to remember it. Like he was like, I create these like memory loops in my brain. Yeah, he's like, I'll think of a word that's the first letter of each chunk and I go through the word and hit all the letters. Oh, like numerically. Yes. So he'll do a set list. It's cars, women, cars. turtles, and he memorizes CWT. Yeah, exactly. Something like that.
People do that for scripts, too. Right. Yeah, that's basically it. And he's got a script that he's got to remember every week. But even when I'm breaking down sides and stuff or about to go acting to a scene, I'll take the most powerful word from each whatever, each block, and then I'll remember it. Right. You need triggers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's miraculous.
There's somebody out there that goes... Another black.
Should we rip some feelings of facts? Yes, let's rip some feelings of facts.
