TCND: Pippin's Heroic Arc and NO MORE JOKES?! [The Comedian Next Door]
Update: 2025-10-13
Description
Welcome to Middle Earth, Neighbor! John is out of town, so Luke and Amanda are dismantling his entire podcast by undermining the role of Comic Relief.
We're talking about Pippin's growth from "childish clown" to a man willing to FIGHT... This story resonates with Luke at the moment, since we have been led to some distasteful battlefronts lately.
Is this the end of the Comedian Next Door?! Are we leaving all the "jest" behind us because we're too grown up now?! Not exactly...but our REASON for being funny might be different. No more hiding behind jokes in order to hide from reality.
