Happy Barbershop Quartet Day! Hi, I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every week.
And now, the videos you came for:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
