Clark Larew Jones!
The man has the best last name..... but since you all know that my full name is Robert Leland Jones, it makes sense.. Son of John, which means God is gracious... I have always liked that part of my name, even if I don't use it often.
You've seen Clark on Comedy Central, the Laugh Factory and well... everywhere a comedic voice matters.
His POV is amazingly insightful, hugely funny, and well...if you've seen his "soulmate is dead" bit, you know he's a legend in the making. He's been around for a long time, but like most comedians, you'd swear he was an overnight sensation, since you didn't watch him from day one... but trust me, he's worked it hard for a long time. The man is committed.
Lastly, You know me. I don't swing lightly. I find the best people because I wield my ability to discern. I know talent when I see and hear it, and after today, you will too. This is Clark Larew Jones!

MONOLOGUE: Recently, my wife graduated with another degree in occupational therapy and it was a great reminder of a few things. 1) We must pursue something that sets us apart... no matter the cost. 2) I was so proud and found myself crying just watching her walk, let alone walk across the stage. 3) Love is a weird thing and my desire to hide from my emotions at times is even weirder.

ON THIS DAY: In 1815, Napoleon and his French army lost everything at the battle of Waterloo, which as we all know resulted in a fantastic pop hit by ABBA. Seriously, tho... the battle only lasted one day, which I didn't know until I did my research for this show today. Also, Arthur Wellington, who rose to historical prominence by leading the opposing armies against Napoleon had Beef Wellington named after him. That's the kind of hard hitting research we do here. Are you an ABBA fan?
BIRTHDAYS: 35 years ago today, my first born arrived, which is utter madness when you 1) realize I'm that old to have more than one child in his mid 30s, and 2) that also means I probably have grandchildren, of which I have 6. Do you have children, Clark?
DEATHS: A year ago today, Stockton Rush and 4 others died when his submersible, The Titan, imploded as it descended to visit the wreckage of the Titanic. Hubris is a weird thing. I admire his pioneering spirit. It takes almost complete disregard to do something new and unusual and he paid the price, but yeah... he could have done more to ensure safety. Then again, how do we visit the moon without risk? Did we ever visit the moon?

REACTION that you missed if you don't follow our Patreon.: KNOWER - "I'm the President."
1) It's super funky.
2) it's super jazzy.
3) it's super weird (and if you know Clown Core, then you know why).
Just released a new album on the 2nd and touring Europe next month. If you like Louis Cole's wild drumming and musical styles, pick this record up. Fantastic stuff.
