00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.240
Callaroga Shark Media. Hi, O, Adam Sandler had a great birthday. Hello,

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.279
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy News. Adam Sandler

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.440
kicked off his comedy tour and brought out Vanilla Ice.

4
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.600
Vanilla Ice came out and did Ice Ice Baby. There's footage.

5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.199
I shared it in the Facebook group. Please feel encouraged

6
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.079
to join us in the group, which is Daily Comedy

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.519
News podcast group. The clip is a wonderful mix of

8
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.600
fun and train wreck. Also at the show Kevin James,

9
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.520
who makes Adam Sandler look like George Curlin. Sandler and

10
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.759
Vanilla Ice also played some pickup basketball with the USF Bulls.

11
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.200
Coach Honson posted on social media shout out to Sandlor

12
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.679
and Ice for stopping by the m Uma Center to

13
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.359
run some pickup with the Bulls. Big time vibes Only

14
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.759
in Tampa Bay's home for hoopsne Pragazzi hosting the Emmys

15
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.079
on Sunday a lot of Nate press out there. He

16
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.600
did a long interview with cbsdy Morning. Nate discussed the

17
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:03.799
days back when he would play for free at small

18
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:05.599
clubs and said, I would never trade it, I would

19
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.079
never go back. You just didn't know better. There's nothing

20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.159
better than when you don't know that there's better. He

21
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.159
had moved to New York and then in twenty fourteen

22
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.439
he moved back to Nashville, and he said, you know what,

23
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.200
I always thought it was the first thing I didn't do.

24
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.719
That was for me. I wanted my daughter to grow

25
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.719
up in a normal situation, as normal as it can be,

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.640
and was like, all right, let's move back. I'm gonna

27
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.879
move back. I just didn't tell anybody could fill out

28
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:25.959
from CBS. We worried there was gonna be an impression like,

29
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.079
well he moved back to Nashville, he's given up comedy.

30
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.799
Nate said, that's why I didn't tell anybody, because they'd

31
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:32.640
think I would quit, and I was so scared of that,

32
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.159
so I didn't say anything. Filming has wrapped on The

33
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.760
bread Winner. Nate says his characters a bumbling dad, not

34
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.560
too dissimilar from his real life personality. He explains, we

35
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.359
eased into it. I ain't crying in this movie. I

36
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.040
can tell you that in the movie have three daughters,

37
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.120
and you know I have one daughter. He started talking

38
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.599
about the theme park. I've shared my opinions on that

39
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.120
in the past, but Nate said, I'm not gonna be

40
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:53.560
able to go to every city in America for the

41
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.079
rest of my life. So I want to build a

42
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.680
place where you can come and if you and your

43
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.120
wife and kids are eleven and they want to go

44
00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.640
run off on their own for second, I want that

45
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.480
to have. I'm doing this tour, I plan on doing

46
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.200
one more tour after that. I need to go do

47
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.840
movies and I need to build that world up and

48
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.280
learn how to do all that stuff. So I'm going

49
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.240
to dive into that aspect of it. I can see

50
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.800
myself being and making movies for like another fifteen years

51
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.879
from allowed to I mean, it might all fall apart.

52
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.599
Nate likes playing golf. It's kind of like stand up.

53
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.520
You're kind of out there on your own golf. You're

54
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.000
so much thinking about what you're doing out there. I

55
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.719
realized I can't turn my brain off. I just need

56
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.000
to direct it to something else. He hosts the Emmy's

57
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.159
on Sunday. Right before that, he's doing back to back

58
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.400
arena shows in Denver and says, I kind of know

59
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:29.960
how to operate in this chaos, and if you pulled

60
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.479
me out and gave me a month off. I think

61
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.400
I'd be lost. Right now, Let's keep going. We're in

62
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.000
a good groove. You kind of don't want to stop

63
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:39.639
the groove. Yeah, keep touring, keep doing stand up. I'm

64
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.800
telling you I'm going to be on in this podcast

65
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.120
in like ten years, still from the basement while you

66
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.280
have your millions, But I will be in the basement going.

67
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.719
Remember that time naprighets he thought he was gonna open

68
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.120
a theme park. I'm one hundred percent eventually going to

69
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.120
do that story. Paton Oswald has a sub stack, and

70
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.000
I thought this was really interesting. He's got an upcoming

71
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.520
show at the Horseshoe Casino, and he writes, the venue

72
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.680
holds twenty six hundred and twelve people, and as this moment,

73
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.199
I've sold wait for it, two hundred and two tickets,

74
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.400
two hundred and two in a room that size. But

75
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.080
Paton writes, but now comes my conundrum, I kind of

76
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.840
want that to be the size of the audience. Yeah,

77
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.560
he doesn't want this show to sell more tickets. He explains,

78
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:18.800
two hundred and two people in a room that seats

79
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.319
two thousand plus is strangely appealing to me. There's a

80
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.879
real cinematic honesty is zeroing in on two hundred people

81
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.039
in a vast, mostly empty venue. If the Horseshoe holds

82
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.840
at a low audience count, I know that show will

83
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.439
be something unique, unlike the shows I'll do in Milwaukee

84
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.919
and Flint. It'll become this event that I and those

85
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.120
two hundred people will probably think about and missed all

86
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.319
life's other work and entertainment that melts in this huge

87
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.479
gray slurry of memory. That one will pop, good or bad.

88
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.199
And now I'm obsessed with it. It hasn't even happened,

89
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.599
and I can't stop envisioning it in my mind. It's

90
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.759
a bleak, hopeful, early seventies movie about perseverance and grace

91
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.560
in the autumn landscape near Leading, Michigan. It's the kind

92
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.199
of Netflix special Terrence Malick would have filmed. If you're

93
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.560
one of the two hundred and two people who are

94
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.680
holding tickets of the show, I truly can't wait to

95
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.400
see you. We're gonna make sad existential magic that night.

96
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.840
That's awesome. Everybody's mad at Bill Moore. Nothing new there,

97
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.120
he weighed in on the Late Night Stuff. It is

98
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.240
Bill Moore's opinion that Colbert Stewart Oliver and Kimmel very

99
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.319
predictably parent whatever MSNB was saying, I'm not knocking them.

100
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.800
The audience and of course half the country was like, well,

101
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.600
this is just insulting to me. Leno never did that.

102
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.839
Leno just played it down the middle. He was like,

103
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.959
I'll make fun of everybody and in a different sort

104
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.600
of way what I'm doing. I just don't stop criticizing

105
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.079
just because you're on the left part. If you do

106
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.920
something stupid, I'm gonna call you out, no matter who

107
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.680
you are. Bill Maher also talked about a famous politician

108
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.199
and said, a crazy person doesn't live in the White House.

109
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.759
A person who plays a crazy person on TV a

110
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.040
lot lives there, which I know is efed up. It's

111
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.720
just not as effed up as I thought it was.

112
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.759
I wonder if Bill Moohr has any thoughts about any

113
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.920
recent drawings. Anyway, Moving on, in New York City, there

114
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.439
was a Stephen Colbert lookalike contest. It was sponsored by

115
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.720
Political Action Committee move On. It was both in and

116
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.279
of ursary celebration. It was the there was weird semantics.

117
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.399
Colbert's camp was calling it the tenth anniversary of the

118
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.040
Late Show, which I guess is technically accurate because David

119
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.199
Letterman hosted Late Show with David Letterman no tch at

120
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.759
the beginning there, and then Colbert renamed the thing, So

121
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.000
I guess it was the tenth anniversary of the Late Show,

122
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.879
But what you really meant it was the tenth anniversary

123
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.199
of Colbert hosting the thing? Does it matter now? Some

124
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.000
of my brain thinks, anyway, you look alike. Contest was

125
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.040
both an anniversary celebration and a protest of what they

126
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.759
call this suspicious timing of the show's cancelation. Justin Krebs

127
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.240
is the leader of Special Projects and Move On, and

128
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.319
he said when Stephen Colbert called out the BS of

129
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.600
CBS's capitulation to Trump, our members around the country were excited, relieved,

130
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.160
and inspired because since the beginning of his administration, we've

131
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.120
been looking for entities that won't capitulate to Trump, and

132
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.639
then days later the show gets canceled. Whatever CBS says,

133
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.319
there's too much of a connection there. Late Nighter tells

134
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.000
us a bunch of would be Colbert's turned up chasing

135
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.560
their dream of a free slice of pizza and a

136
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.680
two hundred fifty dollars a gift card. The judges stressed

137
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.839
that the contest was less about looks than essence and vibe.

138
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.160
The grand prize went to Nancy, who's pitched that Colbert

139
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.600
run for president in twenty twenty eight. Something Johnny Mack

140
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.839
has floated on this exact program, went over the judges

141
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.759
and secured herd the trophy and the gift card. After

142
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.360
the contest, the crowd marched the two blocks of the

143
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.199
Ed Sullivan Theater. They started chanting, We're calling BS on

144
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:31.079
CBS love It, a banner called CBS the capitulation broadcast station.

145
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.279
The day ended with cupcakes and a birthday cake in

146
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.920
honor of Colbert's tenth anniversary as host of The Late Show.

147
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.480
Speaking of Colbert, he'll be one of the presenters at

148
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.920
the Emmys this week. That should definitely be interesting television.

149
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.560
Johnny Max gonna have to work late Sunday night. I

150
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.639
can't hand in one of those pre tape Mondays where

151
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.720
I blow off the Emmys and Nate hosting it and

152
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.399
Colbert is showing up and Colbert may be winning an Emmy.

153
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.639
So Johnny Max will be watching both the Emmys and

154
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.759
Sunday night football on the split screen and then doing

155
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.680
some recording probably around ten thirty PM, which does mean

156
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.839
anytime I record that late, usually when it's like Dmmy's

157
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.879
or the Oscars or something like that. So on a

158
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.759
normal day, I record kind of midday and schedule the

159
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.040
podcast for three am, but when it's like already eleven PM,

160
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.319
and then I just put it out, so you might

161
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.160
get an episode very late Sunday night, but it'll be

162
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.600
there in the feed Monday morning regardless. Anyway, some of

163
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.519
the presenters Stephen Colbert, Sidney Sweeney, she's been in the news.

164
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.720
Let's see who else will we find interesting for this program?

165
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:37.920
Tina Fay, Leanne Morgan, and for some reason, Jeff Probs

166
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.639
for Survivor. Okay, dmmy Sunday, eight pm, East five West.

167
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.600
Earthquake is going to tape a second special for Netflix.

168
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.920
This will be out September thirtieth. It is titled Joke

169
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.199
Telling Business, described as a no holds bar hour of

170
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.360
unfiltered comedy that cements him as one of the sharpest

171
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.720
and most relatable voices in stand up. We also learn

172
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.720
Earthquake is developing a scripted comic that he's producing with

173
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.879
Bill Burr. Very Interesting Do not So canceled Disease and

174
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.879
Sorry in the news again. Entertainment Weekly caught up with him.

175
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.480
You may recall back in twenty eighteen, there was a

176
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.959
sexual misconduct allegation about Disease and Sorry. That's not what

177
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.199
we're talking about today. You may also recall he's about

178
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.079
to play the re Odd Comedy Festival, but that's not

179
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.720
what we're talking about today. Do not so canceled. Disease

180
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.240
and Sorry told Entertainment Weekly he's eager to spend time

181
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.879
together with the Parks and rec cast. As long as

182
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.240
he gets a decent enough check, he'd be down for

183
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.519
a reboot. He doesn't even need to see a script,

184
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.799
he said. I'd love to spend time with anybody from Parks,

185
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.039
even if the show was terrible and we just got

186
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.639
a decent enough check. We got to spend time together.

187
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.919
You know, I have a certain Dennis Leary song stuck

188
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.559
in my head. Be right back this Sunday. Not just

189
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.519
the Emmy is. There is a fundraiser for Saint Jude

190
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:56.399
Children's Hospital. It's the Comedian's Cross Up Cancer Fundraiser. Comedians

191
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.879
Sammy Anzer and Mike Hawkburns have partnered with the Basketball

192
00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:03.399
Social House to present comedians cross up cancer fundraiser. They

193
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.080
will raise money for Saint Jude's Sunday, September fourteenth at

194
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.360
the Basketball Social House in Centennial, Colorado. Watch stand up

195
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.399
comics with no skills hit the court for chaos, laughs

196
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.919
and charity. You should see. If Sandler's in town, you'll come.

197
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.919
Because technically this press release does not say watch stand

198
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.919
up comics with no basketball skills. It says watch stand

199
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.679
up comics with no skills. And Adam Sandlor is a

200
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.039
comic with no skill. Well, he's a good dramatic actor,

201
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.200
but comedy he's just terrible. And I think he is

202
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.759
actually decent at basketball. I digress. Watch stand up comics

203
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.919
with no basketball skills hit the court for chaos, laughs

204
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.279
and charity, complete with live roast, commentary, high jinks, prizes,

205
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.200
and a halftime dance. Last year's event raised one thousand

206
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.960
dollars for the Saint Jude Children's Hospital. There'd be a

207
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.679
bunch of comedians there. This sounds really cool. Go to

208
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.120
event bright and search for stand up guys and that'll

209
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.559
take you there. That sounds like a lot of fun.

210
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.519
Leanne Morgan is getting a second season of her TV show.

211
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.360
She put out a statement. We're coming back for a

212
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.840
second season, and I'm so grateful to all the writers' producers, Netflix,

213
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.600
Warner Brothers, our amazing cast, and especially for all the

214
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.360
fans of the show. Y'all did this for us. We

215
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.720
can't wait to be back. I yelled upstairs to my wife.

216
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.360
I'm like, hey, Leanne Morgan's show, they brought it back.

217
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.759
She said it wasn't bad. It wasn't good, and I'd

218
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.240
rather watch her clips. Interesting take from missus Daily Comedy

219
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.840
News there. But I'll tell you Missus DCN knows her

220
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.759
TV and I say that because of this next story.

221
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.320
She will often take the dog to the dog park

222
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.120
and she one day said to me, you know this

223
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:36.039
would be a good show. Well, apparently the Australian ABC

224
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.919
overheard her conversation. They have started filming in Melbourne for

225
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.799
a six part comedy series called wait for it, dog Park. Yeah.

226
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.559
In Dog Park, we meet Roland, who's grappling with a

227
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:52.159
midlife crisis. He encounters the ever optimistic Samantha and her quirky,

228
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.519
life loving circle of dog park regulars. As Roland reluctantly

229
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.960
returns to the park, he slowly discovers his need for

230
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.200
a community, so it sounds like community. But dog Park,

231
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.679
I'll watch. Dog Park is a heartwarming tale of love, loyalty,

232
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.080
and playful canine antics celebrating kindness for the joy of it.

233
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.960
I'm already wondering are Roland and Sam gonna get together?

234
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.320
I bet they do. Tim Robinson getting another show for eachbo.

235
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.759
It is a comedy called The Cheer Company. In The

236
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.799
Cheer Company, we follow William Roland Trosper, a man who's

237
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.039
embarrassing workplace accident results in him unraveling a massive conspiracy.

238
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:32.279
This will start airing Sunday, October twelfth at ten pm.

239
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.279
New episodes every Sunday until November thirtieth, out on Netflix.

240
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:40.799
Jordan Jensen's new special Take Me with You. Honestly, this

241
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.039
one caught me a little bit by surprise. I even

242
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.600
looked at the Netflix New Releases, didn't see it on there.

243
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.720
And then I am prepping the show and I see

244
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.919
the La Times telling me this thing exists. And they

245
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.519
caught up with Jordan Jensen, who teld the Times, I

246
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.399
can't see the numbers of the tanks, I won't know.

247
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.399
I like that. She talked about touring as a young

248
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.399
comedian and explain, do you do an open mic and

249
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.000
someone says you could be on a show, and suddenly

250
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.960
you think you're hot stuff, And every step of the

251
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.000
way you think you're doing really well. So you're driving

252
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.399
around being like I'm on tour and making weird tour

253
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.039
posters and you're not even looking for people who are

254
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:12.679
on a different level. You're just trying to do the

255
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.399
most you could do at your level. So for me,

256
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.759
it was the same as it is now. I'm on

257
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:17.440
tour every weekend, and I'll come home and hit the

258
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.399
open mics and get my material and go off again.

259
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.559
Even though I was losing money on the road, I

260
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.320
felt like it was a touring comic. Good question here

261
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.879
from the LA Times. As a New York comic, what's

262
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.399
your perception of the LA comedy scene right now? I'm

263
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:33.440
very curious of this answer. Jordan Jensen says, the LA

264
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.840
scene has less of a fire under its butt, but

265
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.840
it is the same amount of good comics, or roughly

266
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.559
the same amount because of the population difference. But the

267
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.919
difference between doing comedy in LA and doing comedy in

268
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.440
New York is if you don't write a new joke

269
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.240
in New York every week everybody knows, whereas in LA

270
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.759
they can chill more, they have a dog, they have

271
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.080
a hike, and there's more to life than comedy. But

272
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.200
New York you have ten people living with you and

273
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:54.519
you have to take a train every day, and you're

274
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.519
so comedy focused because you're trying to climb out of

275
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.080
that life and into the comedy place of LA. So

276
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.159
they're just as good. But New York comedy is way

277
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.440
more prolific. But in LA they're just as funny. Like

278
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.679
Josh Johnson, I don't think that guy's coming out of

279
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.000
LA because we're trying to get to where the LA

280
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:09.720
people are. They're comfortable and have a nice house and

281
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.600
they're gonna be okay. But in New York, we've committed

282
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.639
our lives to being miserable, so we keep producing. She

283
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.279
talked about getting a note from Netflix. Netflix was like,

284
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.279
all that stuff that's effed up about your family, put

285
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.240
that way sooner in the special. And I ended up

286
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:24.840
not doing that because the way I would do my

287
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:26.440
regular set is to try and ease them into that,

288
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.360
because when you're sitting there as a watcher listening to

289
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.000
all the stuff about my dad, you need to be loose.

290
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.200
Netflix was like, just put it up top because it's

291
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.120
your story, and I decided I'm just going to go

292
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.879
how I normally do it because I get that it's

293
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.120
my story. But I can imagine turning that stuff off

294
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:39.879
so fast once you hear some of that stuff. So

295
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.519
it's just like, no, So I'm trying to get you

296
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.639
to understand me and then letting it rip the first

297
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.080
half hours of my story. But it isn't just about

298
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.279
being raised by lesbian moms and having the dead dad.

299
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:49.960
I just had a gamble and not do the whole

300
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.559
closer first thing first and do a ramp up instead.

301
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.720
It's interesting. We've heard some pretty big name comedians specifically

302
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.600
Burt Kreischer comes to mind, who have realized in the

303
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.559
age of Netflix, they have to move their closer all

304
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.919
the way to the front because people have TV add

305
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.000
as I call it, and I can't really focus for

306
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.879
an hour. So we'll see if this works for Jordan Jensen.

307
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.600
At some point, I'm going to watch comedy specials again.

308
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.360
I still don't get to Jim Jefferies, and looking at

309
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.080
to Friday, we've got cable Guy in Santino, so I'll

310
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.840
have one of those nights where I watch stuff. But

311
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:22.200
you know, we've got college football Saturday, Sunday Night Football,

312
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.080
and EMS Monday Night football, Thursday Night football, and my

313
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.759
Netflix cues is backing up here. Did you watch the

314
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.080
The Lazarus Project. You gotta watch The Lazarus Project anyway.

315
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.519
That is your comedy news for today. See tomorrow
