Yes!!! I love this episode.
Tomorrow night we improv.
I started a substack about my podcast "Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen" which is about social media ruining life and pimping it here on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, & Bluesky. I'm starting to think I could be part of the problem. Join me won't you?

Tomorrow I'm recording a new show with the great comedian, Kathy Griffin, for Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen. What should I ask her?
Me too but still when my cable goes out I get a little crazed. Weird
So, is it okay to be that needy? If not, how can we toughen up live with the discomfort of work and life? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady... Go!
Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday!! We live in a world where we minimize discomfort. We can't stand being hungry or bored or waiting or sick or dealing with a crying baby or the electricity is out. & life's easier than any other time in human existence.
Listen to Will Forte on the " Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen" podcast. You'll fall in love with him.
Sometimes we go deep
Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady... Go!
Are we experiencing free will or just playing out a scenario the universe has designed for us? If it's the latter, does it free us from worry? Shouldn't you just enjoy the ride? Or does it make you feel like you no longer really exist?
Hey kids! Welcome to the 4th of July edition of Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday!! Today: if quantum physics is right & every possible version of us that could exist does exist, what do we make of our lives?
It's a really good show. I loved working there.
Who's joining me for a great night of music seeing Charlie Kogen & his band sing new songsat at THE TRiP, a good ol' neighborhood bar in Santa Monica on 7/10? Let me know!
I think there's always time. You could do it with a friend or a stranger. But there are ways and places to have those conversations.
I don't think we'll ever get that choice to me make the country settle down. Unfortunately, where in a weird time where it requires our effort & strength to fight for democracy and justice. I never thought we'd have to be like this. But we do.
Well being able to take care of another being is a fair consideration. I hope you can find a way to love a cat. Seems worthy.
One of those things seems easy to achieve. But getting the cat will be hard.
OR You do you think we don't need more experience than just "existing"? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady... Go!
