00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.800
Hey there, Johnny mac Take two Today's Daily Comedy News.
3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.599
So the first story is Bill Burr talking about the
4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.559
Reodd Comedy Festival on his podcast. And I got like
5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.359
two minutes into it and I realized my half ass
6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.120
Burr I wasn't enunciating enough of the way Burr does
7
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:26.920
when he's doing his angry slow burn. Again, if you're
8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.399
new to the program, I'm not an impressionist. No really, John,
9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.800
we can't tell my half assed impressions are just I'm
10
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.560
trying to capture someone's cadence, not the voice, but just
11
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.399
the cadence. Bill said, I'm still thinking about that BS
12
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:38.880
from a few weeks ago. It's a bunch of crap.
13
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:40.119
That was one of the hardest things I ever to
14
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.000
keep my mouth shut not trash every one of those.
15
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.039
And then there's asterisks there. I'm guessing he said a
16
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.880
holes would be my guess. You may recall people like
17
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.520
Mark Maron, David Cross, Johnny Mack and others criticized Bill Burr.
18
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.200
Burr said, I'm looking forward to running a few people. Hey,
19
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.079
what's the latest you cared about? It's weird all of
20
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.719
a sudden, you don't care anymore. What happened? You're waving
21
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.439
your arms up and down. What happened? What should cause
22
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.320
this month? To help sell whatever project you're on. Let's
23
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.960
talk some Bretta Canty and a circus that I don't
24
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.439
go to because of the way they treat the animals.
25
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.439
And I have a special coming out. I'm gonna find
26
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.200
the right thing to get sanctimonious about it, to mock
27
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.120
all of them. Yeah, everything must have cleared up, because
28
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.319
there's no more chatter. Must have fixed everything. Oh, it's
29
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.760
gonna be passive, it's gonna be aggressive. So if you
30
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.640
ever get sick of Hollywood bs and people trying to
31
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.640
cancel your stand up back. That was the funniest thing too.
32
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.200
Trumper's acting like they give a hoot about human rights.
33
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.719
Half assed. Burs A little off today because the voice
34
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.120
is thin, because I already did an episode. It's the weekend,
35
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.319
going back to back here voice wears out. Mark Maron
36
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.599
was on the Bullseye podcast. I haven't listened to the
37
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.519
whole thing yet, but I did pull the transcript and
38
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.680
I pulled some clips here. Now, what I found interesting
39
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.280
was Mark Maron talked about his time doing morning radio
40
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.200
now earlier in my career in the nineties, I produced
41
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.719
morning radio in New York City. The hours are horrible.
42
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.159
Let's listen to Mark Maron talk about it.
43
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.599
I always like doing morning radio. If it's a good crew,
44
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.640
it's great and it's fun. And I knew that going
45
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.879
into America that there are certain morning crews that I
46
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.239
would do, you know, every year, where I mean, it
47
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.479
was hard to get up, but if they were in
48
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.759
it and they were kind of like not trying to
49
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.000
undermine me, getting into the groove with a good morning
50
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.039
crew is a blast because and what I learned from
51
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.120
doing it is that there's so much writing on it.
52
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.439
You don't you don't want someone to come in there
53
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.560
and kind of like crap out your show and comedians
54
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.360
buying large. You don't have a great reputation for doing
55
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.199
morning radio because they've been up all night, or they're exhausted,
56
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.719
or they don't care. So a lot of these hosts
57
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.479
are a little kind of tenuous about how it's going
58
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.680
to go. But I can talk, so if they're jiving
59
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.879
on something and we get going, I thought it was
60
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.400
completely engaging and a lot of fun.
61
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.000
So I know, for me, that's when I've always been heavy.
62
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.800
That's when I really put on weight because you're so miserable.
63
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.439
You're just up and you're fueling yourself on crap. And
64
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.400
he used to work with this guy Bobby. And Bobby
65
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:03.960
would look over at me at seven thirty in the
66
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.879
morning and go cheeseburger, and I would say yes, because
67
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.479
I'd been up since three thirty three am was the
68
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.719
absolute minimum time I could set the alarm, jump in
69
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.599
a shower, get dressed, hop in my car at a
70
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.199
press pass so I could actually park on the street.
71
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.120
In New York City, it would take me thirteen minutes
72
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.039
to get from Queens to basically Times Square, the city
73
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.759
that never sleeps. It does sleep between four and five am.
74
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.400
I mean thirteen minutes from Queens to Times Square. You
75
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.439
can't do that except at four am. Park in front
76
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.919
of the building. Then I had to go find newspapers.
77
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.840
No internet in the nineteen nineties, kids and anyway, So oh,
78
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.120
you know, you'd be always tired, always miserable, and Bobby
79
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.199
would go cheeseburger and I would say yes and get
80
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.560
a cheeseburger and fries. Now you're like, that's not a
81
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.439
healthy breakfast, John, And I'm not saying it is a
82
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.879
healthy breakfast, because breakfast was the bagels that the rest
83
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.560
of the crew would get around eight thirty eight forty
84
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.840
five no, no, no, no. Cheeseburger and fries was fourth meal,
85
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:58.719
and that's how you put twenty pounds on.
86
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.639
You do kind to adjust to the schedule, but never
87
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.639
really adjust to it. And I really had to blast
88
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.719
my brain, you know, with sugar and caffeine, and that
89
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.360
went on every day. I don't know what kind of
90
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.439
damage I did to myself, but it was really just
91
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:13.919
M and m is and Dunkin Donuts coffee.
92
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.720
So I mentioned I would have to find the newspapers. Now,
93
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.040
ostensibly we had the newspapers delivered, but if they didn't come,
94
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.040
I had to go out on the streets of Times Square,
95
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.240
New York City in the nineties, which wasn't quite a
96
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.879
fun zone that it is now, and find a newspaper
97
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.279
because otherwise how would we know what was happening. I mean,
98
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.199
we had wire services in all, but if you wanted
99
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.560
to really have the vibe for New York City, you
100
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.720
needed a newspaper. And then sometime between four and five am,
101
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.800
I'd have to quickly read the newspaper, cut out articles
102
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.680
and leave them for my hosts so he would know
103
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.639
what's going on. All this happening before five am. So
104
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.879
it was just just a miserable time. Here's Maren.
105
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.279
We were getting up much earlier than like just average
106
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.759
morning crews because we had to, you know, kind of
107
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.279
correalate the news. So we were getting up at two
108
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.519
thirty track, you know, getting there by three sometimes, and
109
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.920
you know, and I was overwhelmed because I'm not a wonk,
110
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.160
I'm a little out of the loop. I learned a
111
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.560
lot there. I literally showed up at Air America with
112
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.680
a Democracy for Dummies book because I felt like I
113
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.920
was at a disadvantage. And that's true.
114
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.319
I did want to talk about this one. This came
115
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:18.720
up during the week, but you know, the week gets
116
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.120
busy with the news and there's a little more breathing
117
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.920
room on the weekends. Deadline wrote about Netflix adding some podcasts.
118
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.600
They're writing a bunch of shows from the Ringer. The
119
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.839
ringer is Bill Simmons Company. They're adding the Bill Simmons Podcast,
120
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.240
which is owned by Spotify, so this is a deal
121
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.639
with Spotify, and Deadline noticed that the announcement doesn't include
122
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.040
a single comedy title, given Netflix's long established affinity for comedy,
123
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.600
Deadline Rights. Kill Tony, the self proclaimed number one live
124
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.279
podcast in the world, lended on Netflix earlier this year
125
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.680
as part of a three special deal. The first special,
126
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.759
Kill Tony, Killer Be Killed outperformed nearly every other standup
127
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.839
special released on Netflix in the first half of twenty
128
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.040
twenty five. According to data pulled from Netflix's recent and
129
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.079
What We Watched report, eight point eight million views in
130
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.120
the first three months of the platform. Deadline compared the
131
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.879
eight point eight to a number like Jimmy Kimmel, who
132
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.319
averages one point eight five million viewers, or Jimmy Fallon
133
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.079
one point two to three. Deadline Rights data we pulled
134
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.920
on the last ten episodes of YouTube's Killed Tony shows
135
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.720
two point seventy four million viewers an episode. Deadline points
136
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.240
out that is also far greater viewership than achieved by
137
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.160
Everybody's Live with John Mulaney. Interesting, now, staying with me
138
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.199
for this next part Deadline Rights. Historically, Spotify has offered
139
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.319
no transparency to the public on viewership, but we were
140
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.959
able to look at the Ringers podcast reach because the
141
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.560
company just recently changed its polse, starting to display plays
142
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.079
on episodes, reaching an audience of fifty thousand or more
143
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.360
for their website. Spotify's play metric reflects the total number
144
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.160
of times people have actively listened to or watched an episode.
145
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.439
Deadline Rights, it's unclear what actively means. The writer says
146
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.439
that bring this up because half of the first late
147
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.279
of podcasts coming to Netflix not have a publicly available
148
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.319
Spotify play clount, indicating they reach fewer than fifty thousand
149
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.240
plays on each of their ten most recent episodes. They
150
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.800
also point out that the deal does not include a
151
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.920
good hang with Amy Poehler, despite that routinely cracking a
152
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.680
million plays on Spotify and well over five hundred thousand
153
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.720
views on YouTube. Interesting. We'll see what happens there. Vulture
154
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.759
is a good one. Caught up with Stavros Halkias, who's
155
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.279
everywhere lately. Vulture said, when someone starts getting heat, their
156
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.519
team starts thinking of all the other directions they can
157
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.560
take them. Yep, that does happen. Stavros, Do you have
158
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.519
any interest in some of the following question Number one
159
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.439
major brand partnership? Stavro said, it depends. I won't do gambling.
160
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.519
I want to do crypto. There are things that I
161
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.399
was advertising and I was like, why am I doing this?
162
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.279
I hate this stuff, but if it aligns, I'm open
163
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.360
to it. All right. How about a book? Stavra said,
164
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.800
before even started doing stand up, I actually really wanted
165
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.720
to be a writer. I like the personal essay a lot.
166
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.079
I'd want to do it if it's not a pure
167
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.639
cynical cash grab. I want to sit in a cabin
168
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.360
with a typewriter and a card. Again, I want to
169
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:55.720
do the whole thing, but it's not at the top
170
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.160
of my list. How about hosting SNL. Yeah, for sure,
171
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.600
without question. It's still for some how many people? Your
172
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.399
first entry to comedy. How about a Marvel movie? Nah,
173
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.959
I don't think so. How about an Award show. I've
174
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.879
actually had that thought, and the stress again my chest
175
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.720
means I should do it. The reason I'm scared of
176
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.120
it is because I'd be so good at it, and
177
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.399
I'm like, I don't want to learn a new thing.
178
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:13.720
I don't want to do all that work. But yes,
179
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.680
I'm definitely interested in doing that. And how about a
180
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.519
reboot of my big fat Greek wedding? He said, Hell
181
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.120
effing yeah, get me the rights. I'm ready to shoot
182
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.040
five right now. I got the idea in my head.
183
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.800
I don't even want to reboot. This would be the
184
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.720
next one in the franchise. Graham Norton has been named
185
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:34.720
Alumni Ambassador to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe thirty five years
186
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.600
ago he launched his career there. In nineteen ninety one
187
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.919
he performed Mother Teresa of Calcutta's Grand Farewell Tour at
188
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.919
the Pleasants Attic. He is now an Ambassador, joining the
189
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.320
French Society's Honorary President Phoebe waller Bridge to act as
190
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.559
an advocate for the Festival. Gabe Gibbs will have his
191
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.399
debut musical comedy special Pick a Lane on Veeps November twelfth.
192
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.559
That's six West nine East, filmed a Dynasty Typewriter in
193
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.399
La the special sies, Gibbs sing with two pianos, one
194
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.360
for comedy and the other four dramatic little boys. He
195
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.720
goes back and forth between the two and explores topics
196
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.559
like Fort's Wieners and the downfall of Jared Letto. There
197
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.919
is a trailer. I pulled the audio and it's too dirty.
198
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.639
It's about eating body parts in not the first two
199
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.039
or three body parts you thought of the other one
200
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.399
that's not gonna fly on this show. How do we
201
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.399
dust that off? Let's talk to Jay Leno. You know
202
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.440
that guy, you remember, Jay Leno? He used to host
203
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.000
the Tonight Show for like what was it like one
204
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.919
two twenty two years and the guy like thinks you
205
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.960
know something about late night. This guy, he's the worst.
206
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.320
He was talking about why his collection of two hundred
207
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.840
cars doesn't even include a Ferrari. I mean, come on, Jay,
208
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.639
what are you doing. I host a podcast in my
209
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.200
basement and I own two Ferraris. Jay Leno said, I
210
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.000
just never liked dealing with the dealers. I don't want
211
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.919
to give a guy twenty five grand in an envelope.
212
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.519
Now what does that mean? Apparently there are a lot
213
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:55.240
of hoops for customers to jump through. Some people say
214
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.559
Ferrari limits who can buy special models, and allegedly blacklist
215
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.000
people who speak publicly against the brand. So sounds like
216
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.120
no Ferrari for Jay Leno. But you can borrow one
217
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.360
of mine. And that is your comedy news for today.
218
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.559
My voice is giving out. I gotta wrap up. See
219
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:10.000
you tomorrow.
