00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.480
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny mag with your
2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.880
daily comedy news, daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians
3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.480
of the comedy industry. The kind of phrase that someone
4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.559
like Jay Leno would say if they were trying to
5
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.120
goose these Spotify transcription algorithm to goose their podcast and
6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.559
the Spotify rankings. But of course jay Leno doesn't have
7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.760
a podcast, so he would never say a phrase like that.
8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.280
Bill Board has released the Top ten comedy tours of
9
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.359
twenty twenty five. By the way, this is a real
10
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:37.479
episode today. This is not a filler episode. This just
11
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.320
happens to be the new story. Top ten comedy Tours
12
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:44.799
of twenty twenty five. Only two names made their debut
13
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.119
in the top ten. Half of them or on twenty
14
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.600
twenty fours. Round up those two names, weird Al and
15
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.600
Nikki Glazer. Glazer also made the top one hundred acts
16
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.799
of all genres. Only two comedy acts played one hundred
17
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.359
shows or more this year are Gabriel Iglesias and Nicki Glazer.
18
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.159
Billboard says Glazer is the only woman in comedy's top ten.
19
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.959
It's not necessarily a breakthrough for representation, but it improves
20
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.480
on last year's all male list. It's been nine years
21
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.799
since a woman led the comedy list. That year, Amy
22
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.359
Schumer grossed nineteen point five million dollars from thirty six shows,
23
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.079
and twenty sixteen, let's take a look at the list.
24
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.480
Number ten Jim Gaffigan The Barely Alive Tour fifteen point
25
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.599
seven million dollars, seventy four shows, one hundred ninety two
26
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:34.000
thousand tickets. Number nine Nicki Glazer at you compare with
27
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.319
Amy Well? Nicki grossed nineteen point five million, compared to
28
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.000
Amy making eighteen million ten years ago, and Nicky did
29
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.840
one hundred and twenty shows, two hundred and ninety four
30
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.920
thousand tickets. Number eight Joe Cooy. He one time hosted
31
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.959
the Golden Globes, but I don't have time for that today.
32
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.200
He did eighty three shows and grossed twenty point nine
33
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.079
million dollars. So who's laughing now, Well, actually, Taylor Swift
34
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.280
is still laughing. Taylor can sell three hundred three thousand
35
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.840
tickets at about four seconds. Number seven you won't guess
36
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.439
this name. Jeff Dunham. He's still out there with the puppets. Yeah,
37
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.879
ninety shows, four hundred three thousand tickets twenty six point
38
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.120
one million dollars. Number six, You love to hate him? No,
39
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.280
he's not Jay Leno. He's Matt Rife. Sorry, he's funny.
40
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.000
Get over it. Forty six shows, twenty seven point nine
41
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.319
million dollars, three hundred and thirty thousand tickets. Somebody likes him,
42
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.080
and I'm one of those people. But I like this
43
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.000
next person a lot more than I like Matt Riife.
44
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.400
He's weird. Al Yankovic. Number five The Bigger and Weirder
45
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.960
Tour seventy two shows, four hundred, twenty two thousand tickets,
46
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.560
twenty eight point six million dollars grossed. Weird, hel you go.
47
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.520
Number four Gabe Iglesias. He's quietly going about his business.
48
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.199
One hundred shows, gross thirty five point three million and
49
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.080
sold four hundred ninety five thousand tickets. Dude, do one
50
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.000
more show gets a half a million? Number three? Oh
51
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.159
my god. Even the image they're using on billboard, he's
52
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.159
making a stupid face. I can't take it. Sebastian Maniscalco's
53
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.280
what if Dice Clay was an old Man Tour? Oh no,
54
00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.639
that's not the name of it. It's it's the eight
55
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.039
a right tour, same thing, forty one shows, four hundred
56
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.520
and twenty five thousand tickets, forty two point nine million
57
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.479
dollars grossed. Ough, guys, come on, Kevin Hart never a
58
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.439
free to work. He did eighty two concerts aside from
59
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.960
his eighty two jobs, three hundred and thirty four thousand
60
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.199
tickets and gross to forty three point one million dollars,
61
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.120
and the top touring comedian of the year. Although I'm
62
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.319
wondering if this is gonna hold? Have we reached peak
63
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.520
of this name? Is this movie going to help? Is
64
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.960
the theme park ever gonna happen? But so far things
65
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.719
are good for Nate Berghetzi six hundred and seventy seven
66
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.240
thousand tickets, seventy six shows, fifty six point seven million
67
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.800
dollars for the Big Dumb Eyes World Tour. Now I
68
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.479
have another list, but then you guys are gonna think
69
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.120
this is fillers, so it's not. So I'm gonna skip
70
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.240
the list and tomorrow I'll do this Deadline Comics who
71
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.960
won twenty twenty five list. Also tomorrow Comedy Festivus. So
72
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.680
jump in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group.
73
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.960
Try and get there before noon, which is when I
74
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.759
usually record will air some comedy grievances on tomorrow show.
75
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.120
Mark Maren was profiled by Esquire, and I loved this
76
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.560
first thing, Mark Maren said, because it really I can
77
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.240
connect with this. Maren said. I used to say that
78
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.319
I never really felt like life was going by quickly.
79
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.960
When you're in it, you're like it's plotting by. Here's
80
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.360
the part that resonates. Then all of a sudden, it's like,
81
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.199
oh my god, how am I the oldest guy in
82
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.000
the room. I didn't really have a sense of age
83
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.360
of those younger comics like John Mullaney or Nateperghatzy. I
84
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.639
always saw them as my peers. Then you hit sixty
85
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.680
and you're like, you guys are forty? What when did
86
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.160
that happen? It's so true, Like I think of this
87
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.279
podcast and I'm like, you know, even if this thing
88
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.120
blew up tomorrow, what is it got fifteen years left?
89
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.480
Then I handed off to someone who knows. We'll worry
90
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.439
about that some other time. But Mark Maron, I feel
91
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.079
you some ratitats hat from Maren. What if I learned
92
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.600
from being divorced twice? Just give them the money, Mark,
93
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.839
what happens to us after we die? Not much. But
94
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.759
is that so bad? Don't we all need a nap?
95
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.040
For a while, Maren said, I thought comedy was a
96
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.199
noble undertaking. The only rule of comedy is you should
97
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:55.759
be funny outside of that, and you could do whatever
98
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.279
you want on stage. If you can make it funny,
99
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.199
you could be who you are. There was this idea
100
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.639
on the anti war, don't censor yourself at all, and
101
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.879
it's like, no, that's how civilization works. That's the way
102
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.439
democracy works. You learn tolerance and you behave properly in
103
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.240
certain situations. Now that's gone. I don't know how democracy
104
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.079
works without tolerance and compassion. Maren says. If you can
105
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.639
change one of two people to either think differently or
106
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.639
help them out, that's not nothing. I don't know what
107
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.319
else I can do. I'm not going to run for office.
108
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.160
As I was putting the show together, I threw some
109
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.399
comedian names into Google. One of the names Bert Krescher,
110
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.240
and what came up was a headline Bert Krescher parking,
111
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.639
and my mind just ran with that note. It was
112
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.879
just about what one would do with their car while
113
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.560
attending Bert Kreischer's concert over the weekend. But I was
114
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.000
like Bert Kreischer parking. Imagine if he got into that, like,
115
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.480
imagine if that was Bert's version of Jim Gaffick and
116
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.839
Bourbon and Burt got like super serious about parking. Can
117
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.480
we make that happen to be amazing. Robbie Hoffman and
118
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.360
John m'laney were talking about when they first met, apparently
119
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.879
with somebody to do with a WGA Writers Guild meeting.
120
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.439
Hoffman said, it was my worst night. We had a
121
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:55.959
union meeting that we were forced to go to or
122
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.000
there'd be some kind of fee or a doctor merit points.
123
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.480
I don't even know how it works yet. I wasn't even
124
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.800
on the healthcare. John mulaney said, we are members of
125
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.120
a great union, the Writer's Guild of America, with whom
126
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.639
we have some complaints, as does every member. M'lini continued,
127
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.600
So there are meetings of the WGA that did kick
128
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.959
off various actions, normally strikes. We mainly strike. We don't
129
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.160
do that much else. And there are these meetings at
130
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.959
the Writer's Guild of America West or East, and I
131
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.680
think there are a little bit less meetings and more
132
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.279
like pep rallies. And Robbie went to what was more
133
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.920
of a PEP rally. They were taking questions and an
134
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.240
event like this, they're more taking comments about how it's
135
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.959
great that were striking. Robbie raised her hand and asked
136
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.759
why the guild owned so many buildings of the goals
137
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.199
to get money to the writers, and you had a
138
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.040
list of properties they owned. That's hilarious offits that I did.
139
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:38.720
Here's the thing. I'd be remissed as a former accountant.
140
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.399
Before I did this job. I thought my ticket out
141
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.439
was I was going to go to school and get
142
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.519
a good job. What a novelty, I get a good job.
143
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.639
Shout out to KPMG to the day I die, just
144
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.639
like I would say, shout out to John Mullaney until
145
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.680
the day I die. A good job. Nothing like it.
146
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.240
I remember it forever. I love it. Skipping a hit,
147
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.680
she says. Then they tell us were striking. First of all,
148
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:57.959
we just had COVID. We have to strike because the
149
00:06:57.959 --> 00:06:59.800
studios are about to do what studios do and be
150
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.040
a hole, surprise and prize. So they say there's a
151
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:03.879
mandatory Q and A. It's a day before the strike,
152
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.199
and I realized my timing was off. My timing couldn't
153
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.160
be worse, but any event I go, and I decided, well,
154
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:10.879
I got to be informed. I just joined this union.
155
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.399
I've never been in this type of union. Side, I
156
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:13.759
decided to go to the website and look through their
157
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.800
financial statements, which is what I would do with anything,
158
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.319
just to have a nice read. They're not for profit, supposedly,
159
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.439
and I just looked at it. I hadn't been got
160
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.639
in for years. This is hilarious. I barely even know
161
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.120
how to look at this stuff. But there's certain things
162
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:26.480
I could look at a balance sheet, I could look
163
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.040
at an income statement. I could look at it, you know,
164
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.079
just cash flow and these three basic statements. I don't
165
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.480
need everything else. But a couple of line items jumped
166
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.480
out at me, particularly the real estate. And it's like
167
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.680
we work from home in our apartments with roommates. Who's
168
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.120
at the building. So I said, why do we have
169
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.920
to strike this yet and hold our wages? And when
170
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.680
we have assets to offload, why don't we sell all
171
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.720
the buildings and divide it up among the members? Give
172
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.920
checks out. V Magazine caught up with Chloe Fineman. Chloe
173
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.600
Fineman makes Jim Gaffigan's bourbon business look casual. V Magazine
174
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.879
tells us the ultra hilarious algorithm shattering SNL comedian teamed
175
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.560
up with the beloved Moxie Hotels to write and record
176
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.839
a series of exclusive holiday bedtime stories. All these Holiday
177
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.319
Bedtime Stories are accessible from in room rotary phones at
178
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.079
every Moxie across the US and Canada. Fineman delivers impression
179
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.240
packed tales from the Guilt Trip, Mary Peach Miss and more.
180
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.000
Copywriting Rule of three, Chloe explains, I pulled a lot
181
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.560
for personal experience, which helped keep the stories grounded even
182
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.680
as we leaned into the comedy. The holidays can feel
183
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.319
chaotic and overwhelming, so it was fun to contrast that
184
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.679
energy with the soothing shift that happens when you escape
185
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.720
to a hotel and slip into a different persona. And
186
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.879
then here's the part that I think even Jim Gaffigan
187
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.080
would throw up at, because I do think Jim Gaffigan
188
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.399
actually likes bourbon. But Chloe Fineman said this supposedly with
189
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.039
a straight face, as if she actually believes this. Sometimes
190
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.879
you're just taking a check and it's okay to admit it.
191
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.799
Like that's the one thing about Pete Davidson, who played
192
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.360
the reON Comedy Festival. Pete's father was killed on nine
193
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.279
to eleven. He was a New York City firefighter. But
194
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.759
Pete just said they paid well. At least you can
195
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.960
kind of respect the honesty. Chloe Feyneman said, living in
196
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.600
New York has really shaped the kinds of partnerships I
197
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.879
gravitate toward, because I always want to collaborate with brands
198
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.759
that feel genuinely authentic to my life. Moxie has had
199
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.519
a strong presence in my New York experience, whether it's
200
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.879
going to events there or having friends stay at the
201
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.720
hotels when they're in town because they're so convenient. This
202
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.159
partnership felt like a naturally great fit. I gotta go
203
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.879
throw up, be right back. They don't forget if you're
204
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.039
listening on Spotify, follow daily comedy News, so it shows
205
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.600
up in your feet every morning. That's the kind of
206
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.440
thing Jay Leno would do to try and like beat
207
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.759
out the other podcast. That Guy's the worst. Remember that
208
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.399
Raymond Reunion on CBS like a month ago. It rated well,
209
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.480
so they made another one with the leftovers. So I
210
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.559
don't know how good Tonight's special is gonna be, But
211
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.240
on CBS Tonight, it's the Everybody Loves Raymond thirtieth Anniversary
212
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.200
Reunion Part two, ray Romano said, some of the compilations
213
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.720
we had to cut down. The gag reel had to
214
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.200
be cut down. My wife Anna did a half hour
215
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.279
interview and they showed her for three seconds. Yeah, I
216
00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.639
know everybody wants to tune in and be like, I
217
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:01.960
wonder what Ana Romano has to say about this. My
218
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.960
father and Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal's father did guest spots
219
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.279
together a few times, and they weren't actors, but they
220
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.399
were always hysterical. We showed that during the live taping.
221
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.159
We got to cut that down. Also, you don't want
222
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.159
to go too long. We could have used another ten minutes,
223
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.440
and since Rady needed another ten minutes tonight, they gave
224
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:21.480
him an hour. I hope you really enjoy anam Romano.
225
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.559
I'm sure she's lovely. Tonight's one hour special will include
226
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.440
more clips and outtakes from the series and unaired interviews
227
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.559
with writers, producers, and guest stars. I'll be watching the
228
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.600
forty nine ers on Monday Night football. Jimmy Carr he
229
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.440
will never retire from comedy. He hopes to quote die
230
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.080
with his boots on Jimmy was on the Chris Moyles
231
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.000
radio show and Chris said, we were talking yesterday and
232
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.799
Dominic said, do you think Jimmy Carr will get to
233
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.240
a certain point, like a certain age, and I'll just
234
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.399
go I'm done now? And I went absolutely not. I
235
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.679
think he'll be forever. I think you'll be one of
236
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.120
the living legends of comedy. Jimmy Carr said. I aspired
237
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.200
her that, Yeah, dying with your boots on sounds pretty good.
238
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.840
My problem is work is more fun than fun. I'm
239
00:10:57.960 --> 00:10:59.480
very aware of how grateful I am to do a
