Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.480
I'm Johnny mag with your daily comedy news and daily

3
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.880
briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry.

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.160
A phrase you say to train the Spotify algorithm, But

5
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:18.640
we don't have time for that. I have so much

6
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.079
I want to get to today. This Chris Gethard interview

7
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.480
is just I wanted to lead off with that, but

8
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:25.199
I know how SEO works. So I have to tell

9
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.000
you about Nicki Glazer, which I'm equally excited about. She

10
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.640
is going to have a huge weekend. But listen to this.

11
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.560
She was on Kelly Ripke's podcast Pay a Lot of

12
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.799
Attention here, Okay. Glazer said that she's considering targeting a

13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.840
specific celebrity during the Golden Globe's hosting gig, but she

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.240
anticipates the star in question might not take too kindly

15
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.240
to her jabs. You don't suppose it's you know who?

16
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:49.520
Do you?

17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.359
Nicky said there's someone that might come this year, and

18
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.439
I was thinking about what their reaction would be because

19
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.439
I don't think they have a good sense of humor.

20
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.159
I don't want to review who said Nicki Glazer, And

21
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.079
I'm sorry to talk in vague terms, but picturing this

22
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.120
person looking angry about the joke I'm making. I never

23
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.799
want to make anyone uncomfortable. Now, try and imagine a

24
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.760
situation where someone is hosting the Golden Globes and tells

25
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.079
a joke and the person the joke is about makes

26
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.439
an ice face, basically murders the person career, except the

27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.480
person sells out arenas right. Remember that one time jokoy

28
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.560
till that horrible mean joke about Taylor Swift and she

29
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.040
made the face? Could NICKI be talking about that? Now?

30
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.079
I see no reason Taylor would come to the Golden Globes.

31
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.799
I don't believe she's nominated. She's not listed on the presenters,

32
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.280
so why would she go? NICKI did not reveal who

33
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.439
the person is, but says this person I feel I

34
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.439
can kind of take it and not deserves it. But

35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.760
I'm almost annoyed. They wouldn't have a sense of humor

36
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.560
about it, as opposed to like, oh, that was mean

37
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.799
and I shouldn't have said that. This person maybe takes

38
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.879
themselves too seriously. Who do you think it is? She

39
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.560
can't eat Taylor? Can't she Why would Taylor go to

40
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.159
the Golden Globes? Who knows Nicki did a lot of press.

41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.519
She spoke to USA Today about jokes she won't do.

42
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.400
She says there's no appetite for jokes about weight loss

43
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.479
drugs this year. In twenty twenty five, as she called it,

44
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.840
Ozempic's biggest night this year, she says Ozempic's been done

45
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.000
some jokes, is just not a unique way to do

46
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.439
them anymore. She also want to do plastic surgery jokes, explaining,

47
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.360
going back to the fifties and sixties, you could make

48
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.120
fun of people getting faceless. Now it's so normalized, it

49
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.159
just seems like I'm coming for everyone. It almost feels

50
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.879
like body shaming. I'm not sure I agree with that.

51
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.960
I mean, I was recently watching what was I watching

52
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.520
what's it called Fallout? Fall Out on Amazon, and I

53
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.280
couldn't stop staring at Kamil Anjiohni's chin, And then that

54
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.479
made me google Kameil Nanjiohni's chin interesting reading if you're

55
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.159
ever on Ready, and that made me google John Mlini chin.

56
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.080
So I don't know, everybody looks fake to me. I

57
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.719
think you could make fun of it. It's okay, Nikki here,

58
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.840
this is fine. I just asked Latebot. Can you make

59
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.919
a joke about Kamail and Anjiohni's chin looking different. Here's

60
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.879
what the late Bot writing staff came up with. This

61
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.639
is really good. Kamil Nanjiohnny showed up looking great, and

62
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.439
right now you pause and you let everybody clap, and

63
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.479
the camera switches to Kamail and then you tag it

64
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.960
with but his chin looks like you got a separate agents.

65
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.919
That's great. Here's another one. This is good. Camel Angianni's

66
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.120
chin now has the confidence of someone who's been through

67
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.800
three Marvel movies and a lighting upgrade. That's great. Let's

68
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.800
see what it could do to Mlaney. These are okay.

69
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.879
John Mulaney's chin now has the confidence of a man

70
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.319
who's been through Rehabit still insists on wearing a suit.

71
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.479
I don't know what Mlanie did during his time away,

72
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.280
but his chin definitely did some emotional work. That's not bad.

73
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.080
As told better by Nicki Glazer, that would work. Mulaney

74
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.120
returned with a new outlook on life, a new chapter,

75
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.599
and a chin that says I've seen things. Those are

76
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.879
good jokes. I digress USA today, says Nicki Glazer worked

77
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.159
through the Christmas Holidays with a team of comedy writers

78
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.479
who knocked down her attempts at facelift joke. Lazier said,

79
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.159
I'm like, but I'm gonna get a face lift. I'm

80
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:48.479
on the right side of this. Is there way to

81
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.439
spin it that? I asked for advice and she said

82
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.400
it's too convoluted. I just can't make fun of face

83
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.400
to work anymore now again, she worked through the Christmas Holidays.

84
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.240
I'll remind you Joe Coy he once told a horrible,

85
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:58.759
mean joke about Taylor Swift. But I do have time

86
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.080
for that. He only got the job nine days before

87
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.159
hosting the Golden Globes because no one wanted to do it,

88
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.719
and then he told that horrible meme joke and then

89
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.159
Taylor made a face. I recently rewatched Joe's monologue. It's

90
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.560
pretty good. One of these weekends, I'm gonna break it

91
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.439
down and do a whole episode about Joe Boy's monologue.

92
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.439
It's way better than anybody gives a credit for. Glazer

93
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.079
and her team watch the red carpet cameras to see

94
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.279
the stars arrive, and they write or cut jokes on

95
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.879
the fly. As she told USA Today, she explained last year,

96
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.199
Jeremy Strong was dressed like a turtle who deals cocaine,

97
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.360
but we didn't want to make fun of him. We

98
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.720
pulled back because we were like, Jeremy Strong takes himself

99
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.040
very seriously, as he should, and this isn't the night

100
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.920
to mock him. Nikki is back for her second year.

101
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.560
She's hoping to come back for a third year. Three

102
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.439
time hosts include Ricky Gervais and the team of Tina

103
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.480
fe and Amy Poehler. Nicki says to be in the

104
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.439
pantheon of award show hosts, you got to do at

105
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.680
least three. I feel like I'm getting started. It's a

106
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.639
great gig. I love it. It's perfectly suited for my

107
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.439
talents or Lacverev. I think she's gonna have a really

108
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.519
big night. The mainstream press is just loving her, nothing

109
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.600
but glowing reviews, and this one is a total wax

110
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.519
job from Parade magazine. Glazer was on Zoom and said,

111
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.839
I'm feeling really good about everything. I'm really calm and

112
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.480
feel like this is going to be really fun. I'm

113
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.439
confident in the jokes and the material, and like George

114
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.759
Clooney and Julia Roberts may be familiar with me now,

115
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.560
and this is the wax Job, And this is not

116
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.360
a dig at Nicki. This is just me analyzing the media,

117
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.800
going Wow, they really like her. Okay, so Nicki said,

118
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.160
Clooney and Roberts may be familiar with me now and

119
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.160
parade rites as well. They should be. Since arriving on

120
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.920
the comedy scene more than a decade ago, the lanky,

121
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.720
forty one year old blond has become one of the

122
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.160
most provocative and prominent voices in either by doing it

123
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.759
all podcasts obviously, reality shows, Sure and Whereminded. She's appeared

124
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.600
on Last Comic Standing, Masked Singer, Dancing with the Stars,

125
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.560
Selling Sunset, and hosted f Boy Island and Blind Date.

126
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.839
The wax Job continues off the mic. Glazer is surprisingly wholesome.

127
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.959
Raised in Saint Louis, she still lives in the area

128
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.639
to be close to her parents and far from the

129
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.879
NYC LA grind. Nicky says, I forget that I'm even

130
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.680
into business when I'm walking around. She jokes that before

131
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.639
she hosted SNL, I told people and they were like, oh,

132
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.879
that's fun, Like I was going to a wedding parade,

133
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.920
asked Nikki, what don't people understand about the life of

134
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.920
a versioning stand up comedian Nikki said, everyone's always like, oh,

135
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.160
it's so tough, and you're on the road, you're a

136
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.160
different club every night, and you're staying at crappy hotels

137
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.439
and you're dealing with gross guys. But I loved it.

138
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.519
I guess the most difficult thing for someone to understand

139
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.600
about stand up is that it's fun and cathartic. The

140
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.959
hardest part is nobody wants your greatest hits. You're constantly

141
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.720
writing new material. NICKI, when did you feel like everything

142
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.879
was clicking. I had a podcast that was getting a

143
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.079
lot of attention that led to an MTV show, and

144
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.680
we did that for two seasons. Then I had a

145
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.480
Comedy Central show and then a Comedy Central special, and

146
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.319
I started doing specials on Netflix. But then I saw

147
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.600
the Jone Rivers documentary and she said that she says

148
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.480
yes to everything, so I followed her rule for a while,

149
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.040
Like I didn't think I was too cool for anything.

150
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.560
I got asked to do Dancing with the Stars in

151
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.079
twenty eighteen, and that was terrifying to me. I never

152
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:45.720
danced in my life. I did the mass singer and

153
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.680
game shows too. As for being voted off Dancing with

154
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.120
the Stars, it was a rejection like I've never faced

155
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.480
in my life, and it was public and it was

156
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.680
on live TV. I really wanted to stay on the

157
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.360
show and really cared about it. To get rejected not

158
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.560
because you're a bad dancer, but because the public doesn't

159
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.759
even care to you continue. I was humiliated, But now

160
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.439
people don't remember I was on it, So it taught

161
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.079
me the lesson of like these big moments that I

162
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.800
think are catastrophic or just blips, you can recover. The

163
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.160
worst that can happen is that you're embarrassed for a

164
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.560
few days. Well, it does look like Nikki will be

165
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.560
safe on Comedy Survivor again. A Monday morning's episode will

166
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.439
be a Globes recap Monday at noon a bonus episode

167
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.240
with the results of Comedy Survivor at week one. Voting

168
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.120
is now closed so that Johnny Mack can count and

169
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.879
produce the episodes. Tomorrow on this program a Golden Globes preview,

170
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.439
and then Sunday, Mike Chisholm and I talk comedy for

171
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.399
a while. Here's a fun story that's not fun if

172
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.040
you're the people involved, but it's a fun story. Tom

173
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.759
Sigora and Christina Pizitski are stuck in the Caribbean. Why John,

174
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.000
remember when we invaded Venezuela last weekend and they shut

175
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.839
down all the flights and people got stuck places. Two

176
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.120
of those people apparently are Tom Sagora and Christina Pazinski. Sigora,

177
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.639
in a social media video said, we're stuck in the Caribbean.

178
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.439
Do you remember how the US went in and captured

179
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.600
Maduro in Venezuela and he was brought to justice in

180
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.920
New York. They've shut down a lot of airspace, so

181
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.360
we spent days here. We can't go home. We've been

182
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.959
stuck for extra days. Airspace becomes open and then closed.

183
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.079
It's fun, I'll tell you. The fun part is that

184
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:10.319
you go to the airport and they tell you you're

185
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.279
gonna leave now, and they go, just kidding, you're not.

186
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.319
Every day's just a mystery. Will we get home? Christina

187
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.040
p added But we're still doing our thing and stuff

188
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.959
like that and trying not to get a duy. We're

189
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.920
doing it all anyway. Happy New Year, We love you

190
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.920
and we'll see you next week. Sigora's comedic partner, Bert

191
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.480
Krasier revealed that he started monzorro and is down twenty

192
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.680
pounds in two weeks. He told the Dumb Blonde podcast

193
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.039
that his sparkle is gone in his life because he

194
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.279
can't eat any more. Bert says the side effects are aggressive.

195
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.399
I got into a huge blowout with his nineteen year

196
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.039
old daughter and Leanne, his wife, like a three way fight.

197
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.879
They were in the car. She's just a talking head

198
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.679
for Leanne. Whatever Leanne says. She goes, you gotta listen

199
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.360
to mom. She has all the answers Dad, and I'm like,

200
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.399
she does not have all the answers. Bert also said

201
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.519
that Manzarro incited a physical illness in him. I couldn't

202
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.320
tell if I was making myself ill or if was

203
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.559
the medicine making myself ill. I've always had a weird

204
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.159
thing about my throat closing. I threw violently in LX.

205
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:02.799
I don't think it was a moncero. I don't know

206
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.799
what it was. I'll tell you, I'm looking at all

207
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.639
these Hollywood people on this stuff. You know, they go

208
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.000
through a phase. We're like, oh, yeah, so and so

209
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.799
looks pretty good. They lost weight, and then they stay

210
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.840
on it and they all look like skeletons. It looks unhealthy.

211
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.000
I wonder what the long term effects of this stuff

212
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.600
would be. I'm just a guy in a basement. I

213
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.919
have no scientific knowledge. You do you, but I'm looking

214
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.720
at pictures of people and I'm like, you think that

215
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.000
looks good? Now. I wanted to lead off with this one.

216
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.360
Chris Gethard went on The Good One podcast. Hit stop

217
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.519
on my podcast at about thirty seconds and I'll tell

218
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.039
you why, and go listen to The Good One with

219
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.480
Chris Gethard. It's going to be one of the best

220
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.960
podcast episodes of the year. I couldn't get enough of

221
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.440
this one. What a great conversation. The episode title is

222
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.600
the Death of the middle Class Comedian, and Chris Catherard,

223
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.879
who's had decent success, is very transparent about how he

224
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.039
had to get a day job. He has a day

225
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.240
job in his struggles getting insurance. In this first clip

226
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.840
I pulled, he talks about whether or not Netflix translate

227
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.320
into money. I have edited this for pacing, but take

228
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:04.919
a listen to this.

229
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:06.879
You can be on some of the biggest platforms in

230
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.919
the world and you're not actually making money because all

231
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.279
the production costs come out of your end. Hey, you

232
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.759
got a special on Netflix. This is a big shot.

233
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.879
You want to hang back and save some money for yourself. Well,

234
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:19.399
what if it doesn't sound right, what if it doesn't

235
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.000
look right, What if you didn't rent the right venue?

236
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.440
So all those costs come out of your end. Some

237
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.159
of these platforms, you will find people who have actually

238
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.240
lost money putting a special up. On platforms that the

239
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.360
public regards as the biggest platforms in the world. You

240
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.519
get hand an artist hundreds of thousands of dollars, but

241
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:40.600
the actual cost of making the special is pretty close

242
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.799
to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

243
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.440
Chris Gethard also talked to The Good One podcast about

244
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.240
social media clips not translating into ticket sales. So everybody,

245
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.279
and I've been screaming about this in the podcast industry,

246
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.399
everybody's making all these videos, all these videos, and I'm like, yeah,

247
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.519
but you gotta have a video team. And like, meanwhile,

248
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.759
Andrew Schultz is talking to Trump, and there's a couch

249
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.879
and a fig plant, and everybody's lit this thing and

250
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.320
they're spending all this money and you know, a guy

251
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.080
in a basement, I don't have those resources.

252
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.840
If you want to have a good hour long thing,

253
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.639
maybe it is not actually true that what you need

254
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.679
to be doing is training your audience to go one

255
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.360
minute at a time.

256
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.519
So it sounds like everybody's making all these social media

257
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.639
clips but not selling tickets off them. What are we

258
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.600
doing everybody? Now? Elsewhere in the interview, I thought I

259
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:21.559
had flagged a time stamp, and I went back and

260
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.159
tried to find it, and even in the Apple transcript,

261
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.200
I could find the text, but I couldn't match it

262
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.759
up to the audio. So I just moved on with

263
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.960
my day. So I'll just read you what he said.

264
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.639
This is very interesting, throwing some shade there. Chris Gethart said,

265
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.320
you and I know the stories told in the comedy

266
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.600
world of some comics who are very very wealthy right

267
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.200
now with their ten million faceless followers, who the story goes,

268
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.799
and this is conjecture, this is hearsay that they have

269
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.720
actually said. I'll say a bunch of stuff I don't believe.

270
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.639
I know it's going to pop off, but you're hurting

271
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.279
the world. You're platforming stuff you don't believe in, saying

272
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.080
it out loud and telling people watch this work, and

273
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.120
then it does. No wonder. I'm so wary of the system.

274
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.240
No wonder. I hate it if it's a game you

275
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.440
can play to the detriment of your own values exchange

276
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.759
for money. Get the f out of here with that stuff.

277
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.840
We've all heard stories, and I'll let people guess. Some

278
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.159
of them will guess correctly. I'm sure some of them incorrectly,

279
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.200
but you've heard those stories. Now. He didn't say who

280
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.840
it is, and I was thinking about it. I'm like, hm,

281
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.039
who might be saying things they don't believe and just

282
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.480
taking the money. Do you have any guesses? I try

283
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.840
to think about it. The closest I could come up

284
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.240
with was a guy named Andrew Boltz, who is not

285
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.200
a famous comedian. I don't know if you know Andrew Bolts,

286
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.320
but that would be my guess. Chris Gethard said it

287
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.559
was someone famous, and Andandrew Boltz is not a famous comedian.

288
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.440
He's a guy that plays a comedy club in Woodside

289
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.279
that I go check out sometimes. So I don't think

290
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.559
he meant Andrew Bolts, But you tell me who you're thinking.

291
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.039
I'm not sure. Two comments about Late Night from Johnny Mack. Now,

292
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.360
Originally I was just prepping the show and I saw

293
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.399
Jimmy Fallon jokes about Greenland, and I'm like, these are

294
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.080
like pretty toothless. Jimmy Fallon, who told it better, said yeah,

295
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.879
Trump's buying properties and seizing boats. He's pretty much playing

296
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.960
monopoly in battleship, okay, and the other one was at

297
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.519
this point, the only way to get Trump away from

298
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.919
Greenland is convincing him that's where vegetables come from. I

299
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.200
almost dropped to JC there. I mean, Jimmy, come on, man,

300
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.360
come on. Now. I had that originally as a standalone story,

301
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.240
but then as I prepped the show, I saw what

302
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.960
Stephen Colbert did to open the Late Show, and I'll

303
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.559
do that second because the Colbert story led me to

304
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:25.360
Jimmy Kimmel addressing the Ice incidents. I imagine by now

305
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.799
you've seen the video, Kimmel said, Now I saw this video.

306
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.639
It didn't look like anybody got run over. To me,

307
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.360
it looked to me like a woman got scared, try

308
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.120
to drive away and they shot her. That'll be for

309
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.519
the court to decide. Kimmel then played a clip of

310
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.840
the mayor telling Ice to get the f out of Minneapolis.

311
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.720
After that clip, Kimmel came back and held up a

312
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:47.039
T shirt with the phrase get the f out of Minneapolis.

313
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.159
I pulled the audio but didn't make sense. It was

314
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.519
just easier for me to tell you. And then Stephen

315
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.679
Colbert opened the late show with a cold open. I'll

316
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:57.519
play the Stephen part, and then he threw it to

317
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:00.000
Governor Walls, but I'll play the Colbert part.

318
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.200
Hi, everybody, we have a comedy show for you tonight,

319
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.759
And normally we start these shows with a cold open,

320
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.720
but sometimes we don't do that, especially if there's been

321
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.840
a shocking tragedy, and there's been another. This morning in Minneapolis,

322
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:14.840
a thirty seven year old woman was shot and killed

323
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.919
by an ICE agent in front of her neighbors. Homeland's

324
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.000
Security Secretary Gnome claimed the slain woman committed an active

325
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.679
domestic terrorism and says the agent act in self defense.

326
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.639
The Mayor of Minneapolis watched the videotape of the killing

327
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.159
and said that claim is and I quote both.

328
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.919
So once I pulled those two clips, I was like,

329
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:36.639
all right, let me see what Jimmy Fallon did. I

330
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.759
want to be fair to Jimmy Fallon. Maybe he did

331
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.720
some jokes. Now I'm recording this on Thursday, so maybe

332
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.720
he did the jokes Thursday night. But as I record

333
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.559
this at one fifty nine pm Eastern Standard Time on Thursday,

334
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:52.440
January eighth. A Google of the phrase fallon ice turns

335
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.159
up a Rolling Stone article with the headline Kimmel Colbert

336
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.360
hit out at ice killing in Minneapolis, and the other

337
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.840
result for fallon ice. Google ai says fallon ice most

338
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.679
commonly refers to fallon on Ice, a seasonal outdoor ice

339
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.080
skating rink in downtown Fallon, Nevada that operates from November

340
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.480
to February. It also might refer to Ben and Jerry's

341
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.080
The Tonight, though, a flavor associated with TV host Jimmy

342
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.399
Fallon Deep Sigh from Johnny.

343
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:36.080
Mack Comedy stock Markets, Thank you.

344
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.559
Bert Reynolds in. One of the tenants of the Comedy

345
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.720
stock Market is we try to find value in the comedians.

346
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.879
I think this week pretty simple. One buy one cell.

347
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.919
You can probably guess both of them. Our bye this week.

348
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.360
I don't think right now, this second, this moment in

349
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.679
time into this weekend, I don't think we can acquire

350
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:57.799
enough Nicky Glazer stock. She's going to have a huge weekend.

351
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:01.000
So while it's still Friday, buy some new Glazer before

352
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.759
the civilians go. Who's hosting nic Goolden gloves this year.

353
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.039
Oh who is she? She's really funny. Get in on

354
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.559
the Nicki Glazer stock while you still can. We might

355
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.320
sell it at peak value a week from now, but

356
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:14.159
right now, buy Nicki Glazer stock the cell. I think

357
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.320
it's pretty easy. You can't say Marcelo without saying sell. Boy,

358
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:24.039
that's hacky. Leave it in, sell Marcelo Hernandez. Nobody seems

359
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.720
to like the special. I haven't seen it yet. There

360
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.519
doesn't seem to be any press on it, so I

361
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.879
don't know how interested Marcelo Hernandez is in his own special.

362
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.759
But I think we're finding out that Marcelo does one thing,

363
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.399
one thing well, and one thing only. Marcelo Hernandez is

364
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.679
your seal. Nicki Glazer strong By, that's your comedy stock market.

365
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.840
Johnny Max is getting up on his soapbox. People who

366
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.919
are in control of star Trek right now, please stop,

367
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:53.600
please please stop. There's this new series, Starfleet Academy. Don't

368
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.440
get me started on it, but since that's not comedy,

369
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.200
I won't go there. But I'm very upset that it exists.

370
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.200
The comedy Starfleet Academy writer and co producer Tawny Newsom, who,

371
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:09.000
by the way, if you see the trailer for Starfleet Academy,

372
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.000
the new cruise there and there's big board behind them,

373
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.200
and it has all the heroes of Starfleet over the years.

374
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.960
If you look at the board, you see Ambassador Spock

375
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.079
and Admiral Leonard McCoy. And if you look on the

376
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.920
right side, Towny Newsom put her own name up there.

377
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.559
It says Admiral Tawny Newsom, and it's like, go hose yourself.

378
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.720
How dare you Johnny Max serious about a start Trek?

379
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:30.039
Okay?

380
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.039
So, co producer Tawny Newsom has updated the world on

381
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.319
her idea for a live action Star Trek comedy. Please don't,

382
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.559
please don't, please don't. The concept is Federation outsiders serving

383
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.599
on a resort planet set in the twenty fifth century

384
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.960
after Star Trek. Picard. Newsom says she has turned the

385
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.240
scripts in and is waiting for someone to decide. Hopefully

386
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.400
they decide. No, Tony said, the conversations I've had is, yeah,

387
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.400
we finished writing it and everyone said, yep, we love it,

388
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.240
and then we turn it in and that was Christmas.

389
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:03.519
This business is an interesting place right now, so who knows.

390
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.680
Please don't just please let star Trek Die. Discovery was

391
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.200
awful the first two seasons, but Card were awful. Starfleet

392
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.279
Academy makes me just wanna makes me want to watch Discovery.

393
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.359
That's how bad Starfleet Academy is. I digress. Back to

394
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.880
comedy John Okay, director Akiva Schaeffer says he's not planning

395
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.039
another Naked Gun movie, despite the Liam Neeson version being

396
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.720
well received now. Schaeffer explained that the merger of Paramount

397
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:31.519
with Skydance Media may have derailed plans. He said, I

398
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.759
don't know if you heard about Paramount kind of changed donors.

399
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.640
It was about seven days after the movie came out.

400
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.240
You know, we're waiting to hear from them to see

401
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.440
if they would want it. Sounds like he's moved on.

402
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.079
And if you want to go on, America's got talent

403
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.119
and you're a comedian. Any comic looking to audition for

404

418
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.440
don't know who this Mike chishom guy is, he's the

419
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.920
host of the Letterman podcast. We both love Letterman, and

420
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:32.880
you can hear me explain to Mike my vision for

421
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.279
the Church of Letterman Orthodox and we reject the later

422
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.000
works of David Letterman. But we get into that at

423
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:39.640
some point on one of these upcoming shows. All Right,

424
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.319
I gotta stop talking. See you tomorrow.
