Jimmy sits down with the man behind the mic of comedy news: Jake Frombach, creator of JokeWRLD—the ESPN of stand-up podcast culture.Jake breaks down how he went from college open mics and Instacart runs to becoming comedy's go-to news source. We talk starting JokeWRLD during lockdown, why he avoids negativity, how he curates the best podcast clips each month, and whether we’ll ever see him on Kill Tony. Also: the dream of a JokeWRLD Comedy Club, why YouTube analytics might be witchcraft, and the most unhinged thing he’s seen at Skankfest (spoiler: it’s Ari Shaffir-related, obviously).If you love stand-up, podcasts, and chaotic festival energy, this one’s required viewing.📍 Chapters:00:07 - Introduction to Joke World00:46 - Inside Comedy Podcast Focus01:34 - Origin Story of Joke World02:46 - Balancing Comedy and a "Real Job"04:56 - Personality in Comedy News06:42 - Barstool Inspiration and Goals10:47 - Joke World’s Team Structure14:50 - Values of Joke World20:40 - Staying Positive in Content Creation40:32 - Skankfest Experience👇 Check Out Jake & JokeWRLD📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JokeWRLD📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joke.wrld/💥 Support the Show & Unlock Bonus ContentPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thejimmyclifford🧢 Follow JimmyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejimmyclifford/Twitter: https://x.com/notjimcliffordTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejimmyclifford📢 SPONSORS:Want to sponsor Pator Bullsht*?
