Callaroga, Shark Media.
2
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.000
Hit Aaron Hunni Mack with your daily comedy news out
3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.280
on Netflix Today. Anthony, jesseln, X Bones and All. Jesslnick
4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.519
is also a guest on Mark Maron's podcast this week.
5
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.679
I haven't gotten to listen to it yet. Vulture wrote
6
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.079
a nice piece about Anthony last week and spoke to
7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.120
several comedians about Anthony Jesslnick. Fulture described Jesslnick as both
8
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:28.960
evil and arrogant in a stand up in the whole
9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.879
package is presented with the deliberative pacing of the meditation
10
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.600
app His stage presence is coolly predatory, emphasized by his
11
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.520
leather jacket and Jean's look, wolf like features and the
12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.920
measured way he moves. Sarah Silverman compared it to wrestling
13
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.640
and said he's the heel, and he takes it and
14
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.119
he makes it really high brow. She looked back at
15
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.840
Anthony's breakout performance in the twenty eleven roasts of Donald
16
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:51.719
Trump and Charlie Sheen and said, the conceit of the
17
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.039
roast is that it's friends who adore each other tearing
18
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.600
each other apart. That's not Anthony. Culture writes ros are
19
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.960
designed to have the pretense of meanness, but for Silver
20
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.679
and says the audience is also laughing because they suspect
21
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.599
it might be true. This is a good piece by Vulture, Continuing,
22
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.959
they wrote, it's easy to mistake many comedians acts as
23
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.040
representative of their private selves. Jim Gaffigan plays up the
24
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.480
affable dad, and Nellie Wong is the snappish, sexually aggressive mom.
25
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.879
Their comedy requires buying into those identities and accepting them
26
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.599
as sincere. But Jesslinic's act requires cognitive dissonance. He can't
27
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.519
be wholly the person he plays on stage, or would
28
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.120
be too horrible to laugh at. Off stage and conversational speech.
29
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.519
He's faster, but his words of the same weedy, carefully
30
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.239
chosen quality. He's thoughtful, polite, a little particular, and boring
31
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.359
on a setic in a singular focus on stand up
32
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.879
as an artistic end. His podcasting partner Greg Rosenthal said
33
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.239
people saw his personas like, man, this guy's an a hole.
34
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.560
But it was harder for me to see because I
35
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.319
knew that he wasn't that big of an a hole.
36
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.040
Interesting line from Jessini k Here talking about getting older,
37
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.439
he says, friends getting cancer, these are things when you're
38
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.159
just waiting for the news from everyone. I'll be forty
39
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:52.799
six in a couple months, so a lot of things
40
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.200
don't make me laugh. Nicky Glazer recalled seeing jess Nic
41
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.120
perform at an open mic early in his career and
42
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.280
said he had these notes up there with him, and
43
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:01.879
he said, I don't have these notes because I don't
44
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.959
know my jokes. I brought these notes on stage because
45
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.200
I don't have any respect for you. Glazier says that
46
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.240
was a formative moment for me to witness somebody to
47
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.360
be that bold and aggressive on stage and have it work.
48
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.680
Welter asked jose Nick about that line and said, that's
49
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.360
one of my favorite jokes. I always do it when
50
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.360
I'm trying out jokes, and it's in the Bleeping Showtime
51
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.759
documentary about the Comedy Store that Mike Bender fed up.
52
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.719
He used that without my permission. He put it in there,
53
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.520
and listen, no one saw that things I could still
54
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.960
do it. J Justin Nick did some self assessments. I
55
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.919
would guess that most of my comic friends think I'm
56
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:30.879
a better comic, that I'm more pure, that I do
57
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.520
things they wouldn't try to do. He's annoyed at the
58
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:38.280
current wave of indie scene clowning comedian says Vulture it's influencers.
59
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.120
A decided stand up was going to be too hard.
60
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.000
One of my gifts is I never try to make
61
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:43.840
it easier. I've always kept it hard. If I show
62
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:45.639
up and do a silly and hands I couldn't operate
63
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.919
like that too much pride. He discussed by Rife and said,
64
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.680
I truly believe all roads leads at me. I just
65
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.319
don't know why you could eat steak and you would
66
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.000
want to eat cow pooh. Does it bother him that
67
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.759
audiences are drawing to Matt Rife. I'm sure Gordon Ramsey
68
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.560
doesn't lose sleep at night because Donald sells billions of Hamburgers.
69
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.599
I also take exception of the idea that the country
70
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.199
prefers Matt Rife over me. That's like saying the country
71
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.560
prefers James Patterson over Sally Rooney. Popularity is not a
72
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.520
metric I used to measure myself against other artists. He
73
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.400
was asked about the Tony hinchcliff of garbage joke. Jessa Nick,
74
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.639
not pulling punches, said he thought the Brady Roast was
75
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.759
his big moment. Even though I think those jokes were
76
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.800
hack as hell. He's a troll basking in the shadow
77
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.759
of Joe Rogan Belcher, says Jessa. Nick also has no
78
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.199
patience for displays of vulnerability like the Edinburgh Types shows.
79
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.400
There's no comedian who tells me what their life is like,
80
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.639
where I even give the slightest semblance of an f
81
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.960
I do not care. You're wasting time. I get that
82
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.439
there are people who are interested in this, but it's
83
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.199
not what I want to do. I have an hour
84
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:41.879
up there. I want to pack that out with pure
85
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.960
ingenuity and brilliance. You know, based on that article, I
86
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.439
don't think I would enjoy driving cross country with him.
87
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.800
I enjoys comedy, but I don't think i'd want to
88
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.400
ride in the car with him. You know what I'm saying.
89
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.639
It seems like the comedy wins are shifting a little
90
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.960
bit and we're getting back into edgy. Uri Shaffir has
91
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.199
struck a two special deal with Netflick. The first one,
92
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.479
Ari Shafer's America's a Sweetheart, will be on Netflix January fourteenth,
93
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.840
making it probably the number one special of twenty twenty five.
94
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.960
The first time I start a twenty twenty five list
95
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:12.800
unless he doesn't make the list unless it's bad and
96
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.520
I go it's so bad it's not even on a
97
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.959
non existent list. Here's the official press release wordage for
98
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.319
America's Sweetheart. From the Joys of Domestic Terrorism to the
99
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.079
Genius of Kanye West, Arii Shafir figures out a way
100
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.879
to find the positive and gun violence, racism, censorship, political upheaval,
101
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.920
gay rights, anti Semitism, and opioid abuse in this hilarious
102
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.639
and darkly uplifting stand up comedy special. Netflix is also
103
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.839
picking up Ari's YouTube special from twenty twenty two Are
104
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.120
Shafir Jew making it the first time a YouTube special
105
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.839
will air on Netflix. Interesting. Shafir told Deadline a statement,
106
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.040
years of drug abuse has dulled my ability to feel
107
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.399
jubilation over network deals, but my mother will be able
108
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.319
to brag about this to her friends of jazzer size,
109
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.399
which is nice. I enjoy his comedy too. Also, don't
110
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.399
think I want to ride cross country with him? Who
111
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.319
do you want to ride cross country with John Larry
112
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.560
the cable guy? That's who? Because he's awesome. Remember yesterday
113
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.560
I talked about Anna Gastyer for like ten minutes, well
114
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.120
as soon as I flipped the laptop shut. I got
115
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.639
this from the sketch Fest publicist. Thank you publicist, Appreciate you.
116
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.360
Sketch Fest announces additions to twenty twenty five comedy festival.
117
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.360
Newly added performers include and a guest tire joining the
118
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.600
Groundlings fiftieth Anniversary. That should be a great show, by
119
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.519
the way. Sketch Fess announces additions to the festival, taking
120
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.639

the new shows include an Evening with Mister Throwback featuring
123
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.319
the creators, directors, and stars of the hit show. Also added,
124
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.319

Improv alongside Kevin Pollock, Gary Anthony Williams, Rachel dratchenmore. Check
128
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.759
out the full lineup at SF sketchfest dot com. I'm
129
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.839
mad at this. I accidentally skipped this from one of
130
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.759
the scripts. You know, the whole thing with Jay Leno
131
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.240
Kathleen Madigan came to Jayleno's defense. This is the item
132
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.079
that I left out of one of the shows, and
133
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.600
I'm mad. Kathleen said, I've known Jay Leno for thirty
134
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.439
five years. Yeah, he would stay at such a hotel. Yeah,
135
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.120
he would climb down a hill for wings. It's why
136
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.160
I've always liked him. Still just a road comic who
137
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.240
wants twenty four wings, Well, go get them. Kat Williams
138
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.199
has bought a former Alabama military base to launch a
139
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.920
movie studio. Kat Williams publicist Amy has sold aal dot Com.
140
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.639
I can't disclose the amount or exact location just yet,
141
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.199
but I can confirm that he has purchased a former
142
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:37.920
military base in Alabama. Well, how many former military bases
143
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.040
in Alabama could there be? Al dot Com did some
144
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.639
research and see that Fort McClellan's Barracks and Addiston had
145
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.519
been up for sale at a million and a half
146
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.480
dollar asking Bryce, that'd be a good guess. The area
147
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.800
is known as Starships. I don't know why, and we
148
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.519
are told the barracks and surrounding property consist of thirty
149
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.519
concrete buildings with three million square feet of indoor space.
150
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:03.000
Ten barracks rooms each, two large gymnasiums, and more than
151
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.439
ninety acres of usable flat land that seems like a
152
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.800
place where you might build a movie studio. Connie Alexander
153
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.759
was the designated broker which represented the seller of the barracks.
154
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.519
Connie says the property was purchased through an LLC, but
155
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.480
did concede that Kat Williams did visit the property frequently
156
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.319
during the purchase phase. So I did watch Jim Gaffigan Special.
157
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.279
It's perfectly fine, and average civilian were like it. You know,
158
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.160
if somebody sits down and they hit play on it
159
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.759
and Jim Gaffigan hands that in, they won't be like
160
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.439
this is terrible. They'll be like, this is fine. But
161
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.639
I'm a comedy snob. There's nothing special about it. And
162
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.959
I know that the media has decided that this is
163
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.480
Jim's time and he's stepped up in class or something.
164
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.959
A lot of narrative about that, But I preferred Adam
165
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.959
Ray Special by a lot. I think this review from
166
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.959
Laughingplace dot Com nailed it. They wrote throughout the first
167
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.600
half of the skinny, I found myself laughing out loud repeatedly,
168
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.759
even when I could see certain punch lines coming. Yep, Gaffigan.
169
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.480
Still he would often make the joke for me, and
170
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.279
while this remained the case in the second half, I
171
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.120
wasn't quite as sold on the material. It's not that
172
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.800
his observations on marriage and kids aren't funny, it's just
173
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.360
they're pretty well worn territory for him at this point,
174
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.319
with this being as eleven special, even his closing joke
175
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.319
was weak, which doesn't seem like a good sign for
176
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.160
a comedy special. I didn't make it that far. Like
177
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.399
I said, I got fifteen minutes in. I was like, eh,
178
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.800
I got to play Flight Simulator twenty twenty four. I
179
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.759
got stuff to do. So I've got another item for you,
180
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.839
and I do. I really don't want to be the
181
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.959
you just hate Jim Gafficking guy. But you heard the
182
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.399
butt coming right. But Jim was on the NFL pregame
183
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.679
on Fox over the weekend and they did this sketch.
184
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.399
Jim is a therapist consulting fans of the Saints, Raiders, Bears,
185
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.759
and Jets on playoff delusion. I'll play it through the
186
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.320
Bears part. Once you get to the Jets part, it
187
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.080
becomes more visual. But let's listen and you can tell
188
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.279
me what you think. Facebook group, Daily Comedy News podcast group.
189
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.440
My name is Jim gaff Again. I am a licensed
190
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:08.559
professional NFL realist Classic. I specialize in football fans struggling
191
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:12.720
with playoff delusion. A good looking guy, many of my
192
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:17.080
clients can't face the reality that their teams aren't going
193
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.080
to make the playoffs.
194
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.279
We scored ninety eight points in our first two games.
195
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.480
Wow, it was really impressive. What happened after that?
196
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.080
We lost seven in a row.
197
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.320
That doesn't sound like a playoff team, does it? No?
198
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:31.879
No, it doesn't.
199
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.799
Yeah, you're welcome.
200
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.639
There's still a chance we make it. For the bad
201
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:40.039
boys of the NFL.
202
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.639
I'll give you that the Raiders are bad. You're not
203
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:48.080
going to the playoffs. Here, Halloween's over. Take off the makeup, honey. Now,
204
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.120
you're aware to get into the playoffs. It's not by invitation.
205
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.320
You have to win enough games. He doesn't acknowledge the
206
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.320
division that the Bears are in. Okay, I'd like you
207
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.039
to take your wife's hand, look her in the eyes,
208
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.480
and just lift the other teams in the NFC North,
209
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:09.960
the Lions, the Vikings, and the Packers. I'm not going
210
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:10.360
to make it.
211
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.960
Are we hilarious, not hilarious. You tell me I did
212
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.360
like the line Like I said, I skipped the Jets
213
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.919
part because it's pretty visual. But when the Jets fan
214
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.080
is leaving, Jim says, see you next year. King Charles
215
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.559
was at the Royal Variety performance and matt Ford got
216
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.960
up and performed. Matt did trump and characters said they're
217
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.679
reading the cats, they're reading the dogs, and then turned
218
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.840
to the King and said, your majesty King Charles, you
219
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.159
were named after a spaniel. Be very careful to eat
220
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.679
you alive. Cameras caught the King laughing heartily in response.
221
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.360
After the show, matt Ford met the King and said,
222
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.279
did you mind the joke about sounding like a spaniel?
223
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.360
And Charles said, no, it was a very good joke.
224
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.200
You waited for three hundred years to be able to
225
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.679
say it. Apparently meant Ford laughed at the King's comeback. There.
226
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.879
By the way, Harry and Megan, who Harry's got this
227
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.080
show about Polo that's coming out next week and he's
228
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.440
getting savage. Check out the Palace Intrigue podcast. We talk
229
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.120
about the Royal family and it's gonna be another round
230
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.240
of Poor Harry, Poor Megan, they get everything wrong. And
231
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.120
I'll leave you with this one. Joe Rogan, He's in
232
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.519
the news a lot. This next story got a lot
233
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.519
of pick up. Rogan on his Friday episode had some
234
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.200
comments about President Biden and criticize Biden's decision to allow
235
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.399
Ukraine and use some missiles. Rogan said, how are you
236
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.919
allowed to do that? When you're on your way out?
237
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.320
People don't want you there anymore. There should be some
238
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.120
sort of pause for significant actions that could potentially start
239
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.720
World War three. Zelenski says, Putin is terrified af you man,
240
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.120
few people you people are about to start World War three.
241
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:39.360
Rogan suggested Ukraine pursue negotiations instead of escalating military actions,
242
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.919
quoting Rogan, maybe that'd be a good thing would like
243
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.799
to avoid from a dying former president. We voted Trump
