from That Was Wild · host Adam Macias

This week on That Was Wild, Adam Macias is joined by comedian Sam Harte. They dive deep into the world of crowd work and whether the viral videos we see on social media are really as spontaneous as they seem. Are these clips of comedians roasting their audiences all real, or have they been carefully crafted for maximum laughs? 🎤📱Aries spears recently posted a series of videos that featured a very racist and also very well-lit audience member that had Adam questioning whether or not this was real. They dissect the hilarious video to see if there are any clues to it authenticity. Plus Adam and Sam dive into the most rag bait-ey topic there is on the internet - the homeless crisis in LA. Or the Mental health crisis. Or is it Both and is LA just filled with mentally unwell people who watched a bunch of movies that made it ok to move here with no money? These two comedians get to the bottom of it! 🤡So grab your popcorn, scroll through TikTok for some “real” comedy, and get ready to unpack the truth behind social media and rage bait.
