1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.199
Calarogus Shark Media from the Latin Quarter of Montreal. I'm

2
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.560
Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news. I just left

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:20.879
New Faces two. It was awesome, way way stronger than

4
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.879
New Faces one. Wally Burm was your host for New

5
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.600
Faces two, not as strong as John Marco, and I

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.519
was wondering how that would set up the room. Would

7
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.039
it be strong enough to lead into the comedians. Don't

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.439
worry about that, because boy Max Eddie came out number one,

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.119
Max out of San Francisco. At that point in the evening,

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.479
I wrote in my notebook Best so Far a couple

11
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.240
notes he does have a hack joke in the middle

12
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.399
of his set that he needs to totally drop. And

13
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.719
he did do the same exact joke as somebody did

14
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:58.280
in New Faces One that said absolutely crushed. Put an arrow.

15
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.200
If I put an arrow in my notebook, that's a

16
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.280
good sign. Only one person got an arrow out of

17
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.840
New Faces One. Next up was Catherine Blandfield out of

18
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:08.879
Saint Louis.

19
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:10.680
I love her.

20
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.400
I think she might have been my favorite of the

21
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.159
twenty comedians I saw on Wednesday evening.

22
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.760
Really really really liked her.

23
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.959
She got an up arrow at a star She was

24
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.239
followed by Vittorio Angeloni. That's the guy out of Northern Ireland.

25
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.480
He had a great opener about the room and how

26
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.799
well lit. It was very, very funny, and he crushed.

27
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.640
So you had a strong open number one with Max

28
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.640
Eddie and then Catherine Blandfield and Vittorio Angelone crushing back

29
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.280
to back. So could it keep going? Could Sam Bero

30
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.480
out of Chicago.

31
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.040
Keep it going? Sam also got an up arrow out

32
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:49.239
of me.

33
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.959
He had a tough draw after two crushers, but really

34
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.079
really funny, maybe just a hair not as good as

35
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.439
the two previous, but super solid. In the five spot,

36
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.480
Randy Numayer gets a tough straw after everybody crushing before her.

37
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.799
She was really good too. She's out of Vancouver. Liked

38
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.879
her a lot. Then Tom Murphy from Montreal hometown crowd

39
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.800
behind him. I stepped down from the previous group, but

40
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.000
by no means not funny, meaning funny. Chloe Radcliffe in

41
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:23.039
the seventh spots out of Minneapolis, super entertaining, really strong performer,

42
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:29.000
more entertaining than funny, but strong. Ory Styla out of

43
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.599
London in the eight spot. I liked him a lot,

44
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.400
really nice performer. Dean Stanfield out of Texas, came out

45
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.199
dressed as a cowboy in the nine hole.

46
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:39.840
More of a storyteller.

47
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.360
I'm not sure New Faces is the right room for

48
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.520
that type of act. You know, if your storyteller, you

49
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.400
got to build these things and it takes a minute.

50
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.280
That said really enjoyed him as well. Dylan Adler closed

51
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.719
the night and it was approaching eleven o'clock. Johnny Max

52
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.800
gets a little tired, starting to struggle a little bit,

53
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.919
but high entered. I performer a great closer, great way

54
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.400
to close the night. So you know, ten solid comedians there.

55
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.479
They did do the thing again where they had his

56
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.439
tatan fake laughter. I forgot to mention yesterday they had

57
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.199
the room ice cold to keep us awake.

58
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.319
I guess that's a good thing.

59
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.000
In between new phases one and two, I saw Alistair

60
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.719
Ogden hanging out in the hallway and I was really

61
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.840
tempted to be like, hey, what to do my podcast?

62
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:23.800
But I resisted.

63
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.159
Also so Bruce Gray hanging around, I probably could have

64
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.280
grabbed him, and I was like, oh, but then, Neil

65
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.759
know I have a podcast and I'll listen to it

66
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.879
and then I'll hear what I said about his set,

67
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.639
so I did not ask him. Hi, let's do a

68
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.759
quick news story here from the corner. Nish Kumar talked

69
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.280
about why Trump isn't actually good for comedy. He says

70
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.039
he's not one of your cracksmoking mayors. He enjoys the festivals.

71
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.599
He says, these shows are always really good fun. There's

72
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.000
an international circuit of comedians to do these things that

73
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.800
do Montreal, Edinburgh and Melbourne, and it's a really great

74
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.719
opportunity to catch up with some friends and also get

75
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.960
to see some good stuff as well. He told Yahoo Canada.

76
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.800
I watch a lot when I'm in town, and I've

77
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.120
seen some unbelievable shows. He was doing a show in

78
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.639
Toronto in February when Trump got into it with the tariffs.

79
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.000
Kumar said, that was a particularly febrile time. I think

80
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.479
I was hoping that things might have calmed down a

81
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.839
little bit, but obviously they were never gonna calm down.

82
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.800
It's a fascinating experiment what happens when a country for

83
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.560
seemingly no reason, out of nowhere, for versus centuries of

84
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.759
diplomatic relations with its neighbor with whom it shares a

85
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.720
land border. Well, you know here as a Canadian. You

86
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.800
Americans keep putting out Adam Sandler movies, I mean, Happy

87
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.399
Gilmore too out on Netflix today.

88
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.399
Don't do that. Why would you do that? Anyway?

89
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.519
Let me take the break a little early here. I

90
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.839
got to go back to the hotel room to upload

91
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.480
these shows so that you're actually hearing this now, and

92
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.920
I've got a pretty robust second half. So early break,

93
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.000
you're right back here in Montreal. He just for laughs,

94
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.720

110
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.040
nine o'clock. I always love the title because one of

111
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.319
my I mean, I'm not the most original person, but

112
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.439
if I'm in Montreal or France, I always do the

113
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.959
bonjour hello, and then you speak to me in English.

114
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.040
But I find that works a lot better than walking

115
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.040
and going yeah, let me get a Venti iced coffee,

116
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.000
like just at least attempt. My brain is able to

117
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.639
read French pretty quickly, especially if I'm in a French

118
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:14.160
speaking country for thirty six hours. The vocabulary comes and

119
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.160
goes depending on how much prep I've done. When I

120
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.759
did Paris a couple of years ago, I was five

121
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.439
years ago. No, it was right before the pandemic. I had,

122
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.279
you know, done the duelingo and listen to a bunch

123
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.680
of French podcasts and I was okay. Ish pronunciation otuocious.

124
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.240
But you know, I find if you try, people are

125
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.480
pretty cool about It, Rachel Scanlon at nine o'clock Just

133
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.560
tonight at nine thirty, May Martin said, I usually get

134
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.399
people to write questions and put them in a bucket.

135
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.279
Then I do a little section where I improvise and answer

136
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.959
questions from the audience. I like to create a kind

137
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:06.720
of atmosphere where it feels like we're seeing something that

138
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.839
won't happen again. May says, Canada has been very good

139
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.800
to me. Yeah, it's great up here. No Adams Sanlor movies.

140
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.519
I like it. I've been coming to Montreal since I

141
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.360
was a kid. It's it's nice to check back in.

142
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.399
You see the same people every summer. It's special and

143
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.360
I'm glad it's the Festival still thriving also tonight in Denver,

144
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.199
the Rise Comedy Festival, running tonight through August second to

145
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.319
the fourth annual Rise Comedy Festival more than one hundred

146
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.079
and fifty performers from around the United States. Organizer Nick

147
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.839
Armstrong says, the comedy scene in Denver's huge. We're happy

148
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.439
to be hosting so many people here. We have an

149
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.560
all access pass which allows you to get into all

150
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.920
of the shows, and it's actually very inexpensive ninety nine bucks.

151
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:44.319
That's great.

152
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:45.600
I mean, if you're around and you want to hit

153
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.879
shows for a week, that's awesome. We try to make

154
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.319
it as inexpensive as we can so people can watch

155
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.279
as many as they want. There are some comedy junkies

156
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.480
in Denver this weekend. The focus is on stand up.

157
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.160
There's a Stand Up Colorado. It's a local showcase Saturday night.

158
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.879
These stand up competition finals. Comics compete for five hundred dollars,

159
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.319
two hundred and fifty dollars, and one hundred and fifty dollars,

160
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.519
but the big prize is to get to perform in

161
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.079
front of influential judges. Armstrong said. Each year we bring

162
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.240
in different judges who work in the industry, book festivals

163
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.240
and help comics get real exposure. Last year, some guys

164
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.720
gave out their emails and told comics to send them tapes.

165
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.120
That kind of connection can open real doors. Next weekend

166
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.199
is dedicated to improv. There's also Festival Intensive, a four

167
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.680
day educational programming featuring four instructors and twenty four hours

168
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.320
of training. The festival got three hundred and fifty submissions

169
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.039
for this year's festival. Nick says that was actually down.

170
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.480
I think people are travel adverse because of budget, or

171
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.600
at least that's what we've been told today. I'll still

172
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.720
take it. I mean, that's still a really healthy response.

173
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:45.120
Sure is.

174
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.759
Nick doesn't want the festival to get too big. We

175
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.360
don't want it to become this huge thing because we

176
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.759
don't want it to become so diluted that people can't connect.

177
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.879
Sounds like a good festival. San Diego Comic Con kicks off.

178
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.799
The south Park guys will be there with their one

179
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.919
point five billion dollars that would pay for thirty seven

180
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.559
and a half years of Stephen Colbert shows. There's an

181
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.720
immersive south Park experience at court Yard. While you're there,

182
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.159
you can take part in an interactive photo opportunity, some trivia,

183
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.960
karaoke giveaways, and more. There's also a costume contest, including

184
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.919
categories for best Kenny, Best Kyle, Best Stand, Best Butters.

185
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.960
The event is free and open to the public. You

186
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.200
can also check out the Comedy Central panel at six

187

forty five and Hall Eah featuring Trey Parker, Matt Stone

188
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.480
and there are a billion and a half dollars down

189
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.840
in the United States. I feel bad for you people

190
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.840
because you are being stuck with the release today on

191
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.799
Netflix of Happy Gilmour Too. I mean, it's just awful. Luckily,

192
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.159
here in Canada, we don't have to deal with such things.

193
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.559
Adam Sandler says fans stopped him in the streets for

194
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.320
twenty eight years asking for this sequel. Well, everybody, you

195
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.799
got white yass Or, Sailor said, for almost three decades,

196
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.360
he rejected the idea, and then one day changed his

197
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.840
mind to maybe I'm wondering how much money Netflix offered

198
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.879
him that changed his money spoilers. I mean, I don't

199
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.519
want to ruin an Adam Sandler comedy for you spoilers

200
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.600
when Happy gil Woar two begins. His life isn't perfect

201
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.759
right now, says Adam Sandler at least at the beginning

202
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.440
of the movie, and he's a family man. He's getting

203
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.600
back into the golf game. The cast includes Ben Stiller,

204
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:19.440
Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Travis Kelcey, Bad Bunny, and a

205
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.840
bunch of pro golfer. As Adam Sandler said, we wrote

206
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.840
him stuff and everybody was kind enough to come and

207
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.679
everybody and it did a great job. Every day on set,

208
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.919
someone cool would show up and would hang out. Christopher McDonald,

209
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.879
who's seventy years old now and as one of the

210
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.480
best guest starring roles on Star Trek The Next Generation

211
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.200
as Lieutenant Castillo. Remember that, Yeah, Yesterday's Enterprise.

212
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.320
One of the best episodes. He said.

213
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.679
What I love about Adam Sandler is his heart. He's

214
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:45.320
got so much love for people, and he's done some

215
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.320
amazing work in the last few years. I'm very happy

216
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.720
for him. Let's break that apart. Adam Sandlor does have heart,

217
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:53.240
and that is admirable. I'm there with that. He's got

218
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.840
love for people. That's fantastic And as McDonald says, he's

219
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.960
done some amazing work in the last few years. Yes,

220
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.919
he uncuts you in the Basketball Movie and the Alien one.

221
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.320
Those are all really good. Just stop making comedies. McDonald

222
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.440
would not talk about the plot. He said, I signed

223
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.080
an NDA, this is kind of a big deal. At

224
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.919
the Happy Gilmore premiere, Sandler was asked by Entertainment Tonight

225
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.559
what it would take for him to make a movie

226
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.399
featuring all three of his famous co star actresses together.

227
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.159
They are Julie Bowen, Jennifer Aniston, and of course Drew Barrymore,

228
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.799
who has the unique ability to make an Adam Sandler

229
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.399
comedy watchable. Sandler said it would require a great set

230
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.799
and happiness. He joked all the ladies, which suggests different

231
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.840
diets to me during filming that say, Adam, you got

232
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.960
to stop beating this because they're all like best friends.

233
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.279
Drew Barrymore, of course, co starred in the two of

234
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.320
the watchable Adam Sandler comedies, The Wedding Singer and Fifty

235
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:49.279
First Dates. But even Drew Barrymore can't solve everything. She

236
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.639
was also in Blended, which is not a great Adam

237
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.919
Sandler movie. Sandler said he had to rewrite Happy Gilmore

238
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.320
two following the death of Carl Weathers, who appears as

239
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.960
Chubbs in the original. Sandler said, we had a painful change.

240
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.039
Carl Weathers had a massive part. I would talk to

241
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.919
Karl and we were excited, and then Carl passed away.

242
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.320
We had to rewrite a lot of the stuff and

243
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.200
even what the story was. We made a lot of

244
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.279
nice references to how great Chubbs was in the movie.

245
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.639
That was the biggest change in the first version that

246
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.360
we came up with. He had a son. He was

247
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:16.960
coming back to me a lot in my dreams, and

248
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.320
he had a son who was mad and happy for

249
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.039
causing the death of Daddy. This had been announced to

250
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.639
before Colbert Gate. I assume it is still going on.

251
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.480
It is a fundraiser to help pets come enjoy a

252
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.879
night of stand up and tail wags at Boris and Horton,

253
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.279
a dog friendly cafe in Manhattan's Lower east Side. The

254
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.200
lineup features six stand up comics who doubles daily show
