Johnny Mac previews Netflix’s premiere of Season 2 of Tom Segura’s “Bad Thoughts” and discusses Jerry Seinfeld’s claim that “Friends” wouldn’t exist without “Seinfeld,” noting the importance of TV lead-ins like “Cheers.” He recaps an LA Times roundup of standout Netflix Is A Joke Festival events, including Shane Gillis at the Hollywood Bowl, Mike Ward’s English crossover set, Seinfeld with Leanne Morgan, Nate Jackson’s Roast Zone, Wanda Sykes, Kill Tony at the Intuit Dome (including Adam Ray as Tony Hinchcliffe), and a Hasan Minhaj vs. Ronny Chieng debate show, plus mentions Atsuko Okatsuka’s new hour and 2027 Netflix special, Two Bears 5K, Marcello Hernandez, and Flight of the Conchords. He closes with a BBC report that hundreds of comedians have gone unpaid after Leicester Comedy Festival due to cash-flow delays.
