Daniel Tosh (Tosh Show) is PRO Cancel Culture! Kevin Hart announces Muhammed Ali series

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.080
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello again,
I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy.

2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.119
It's a couple of things I couldn't
get to yesterday. It was so busy

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.239
with that Netflix's Joe Comedy Festival.
What a lineup? Anyway, Netflix has

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:23.559
been busy. They released the trailer
for the terribly titled Beverly Hills Cop axel

5
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.920
f the fourth film in the popular
Beverly Hills Cop series. Why not just

6
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.920
call it Beverly Hills Cop four,
which we're all gonna call it right anyway.

7
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.359
It'll be out in the summer.
I would share the trailer with you,

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.200
but it has lots of music in
it and that'll get me in trouble

9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.799
with the music people, so can't
share it with you. I watched trailer.

10
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.520
It looks fun. I mean,
if Netflix puts that in front of

11
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.719
me, I'll probably watch it almost
immediately. It's been thirty years since Beverly

12
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.159
Hills Cop three. Cay Do the
Math, Yeah, nineteen ninety four.

13
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.600
Eddie Murphy is back as a Detroit
cop solving crimes in Beverly Hills. I

14
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.240
wonder why he never retired. It's
been minimum thirty years. I have a

15
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.680
pretty nice pension. Judge reyin Hold
and John Ashton also returned as local cops

16
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:10.319
Lieutenant Billy Rosewood and Sergeant John Taggart. Andie Murphy told people it's really physical

17
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:11.519
movie. I had to do some
physical stuff. I like to be on

18
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.879
the couch. I don't like to
be jumping over and shooting and running,

19
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.040
and I had to do some jumping
and shooting and running. And as a

20
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.079
result, at the end of the
movie, I had a knee brace and

21
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.560
my back is messed up. But
the movie's going to be special. Looking

22
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.000
forward to that one, Kevin Hart
went, I don't know, sixteen hours

23
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.120
without announcing a new thing. Well, he's announced a new thing. Peacock

24
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.799
and Kevin Hart, they're stepping into
the boxing ring, says the Hollywood Reporter.

25
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.040
Peacock has ordered a limited series titled
Fight Night The Million Dollar Heist.

26
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.640
This will tell the story of an
armed robbery orchestrated around Muhammad Ali's nineteen seventy

27
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.359
comeback fight in Atlanta. This already
sounds awesome. Kevin Hart will star in

28
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.480
the series and serve as an executive
producer, presumably not playing Muhammad Ali.

29
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.760
I think that would be a stretch
it's a limited TV series, not a

30
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.640
movie. The official log line series
will tell the infinitus story of how an

31
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.719
armed robbery during the night of Muhammad
Ali's historic nineteen seventy comeback fight changed not

32
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.040
only one man's life, but an
entire city's destiny. Is it infamous?

33
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.439
I've never heard of this story,
and there's a good chance, just how

34
00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:10.439
math works, that I'm older than
you are. The story centers on the

35
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.199
hustler at the center of the robbery
and the detective, one of the first

36
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.319
black and Atlanta police officers to rise
to that rank. So we'll see who

37
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.919
Kevin is playing, and we'll see
who plays Ali. Maybe a he's not

38
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.199
even in the movie. Who Knows? Leo Reich has his new special on

39
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.240
HBO today. It is called Literally
Who Cares? Leo was on the Last

40
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.719
Laugh podcast. Leo is aware that
none of us have heard of him,

41
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.280
and he said the trailer for the
show came out a couple days ago,

42
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.039
and the top comment on the video
was like, this guy doesn't even have

43
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.479
ten thousand Instagram followers. Why the
f does he have an HBO special?

44
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.000
He laughed and said, I was
like, yeah, absolutely, I could

45
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.199
have written that that's so true.
The show includes several musical interludes. Bo

46
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.960
Burnham's Inside is one inspiration. Written
during the pandemic. Leo says that dichotomy

47
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.159
of being stuck at home during what
was supposed to be the prime of his

48
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.159
life helped inform the themes he decided
to explore. He said, totally a

49
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.159
joke, because, of course,
in almost every way, it's one of

50
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.400
the easiest times ever to be young, especially for me specifically, one of

51
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.240
the easiest human lives that's ever been
in the history of civilization is my life.

52
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.840
But at the same time, you
can't help but focus on the specific

53
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.199
ways in which your own experiences are
harder than they've ever been. It's ironic

54
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.159
in the sense that I know I
can order food on my phone, on

55
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.599
my door or whatever, but it
isn't in the sense of, like,

56
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.120
will there even be a world in
fifty years. They asked him about Matt

57
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.840
Rife, because I don't know they're
both under thirty. I don't know why

58
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.520
they asked him about Matt Rife,
but he said, I haven't seen that

59
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.719
special, so I can't really comment
on Matt Rife specifically, because I don't

60
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520
really know his stuff, But I
think in general, TikTok does prioritize different

61
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.719
skills and a different way of writing
and a different way of doing comedy.

62
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.439
Leo is not a TikTok comedian.
He says, if you want to be

63
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.360
successful on an app like TikTok,
you really have to understand the algorithm and

64
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.080
understand what section of the extremely animized
audience you're going to try and isolate and

65
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.560
appeal to. And that's almost the
opposite of what performing in comedy clubs is

66
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.560
like, which is really starting from
your animized little group of your friends who

67
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.159
you may laugh and using that as
a base to try and find some kind

68
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.919
of universalism, at least right towards
a more universal sense of humor on some

69
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.000
level. I tried it out,
meaning TikTok in the pandemic. I post

70
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.240
clips and stuff of me doing stand
up and would occasionally attempt a character,

71
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.280
but I'm so bad at it.
But also the stuff that I like just

72
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.400
didn't get good responses, and the
stuff that I thought was terrible and got

73
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.960
amazing responses. I went, yeah, I mean I could just lean into

74
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.079
this and ruin my own ability to
join my own output. That feels like

75
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.800
a mistake at this juncture, and
so I kind of backed off from the

76
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.920
whole thing. Now, my goal
for today is to watch lots and lots

77
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.800
of comedy. I'm not sure if
HBO is putting this out at ten PM

78
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.319
or if it's on now whenever now
is in your life, but I want

79
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.319
to watch lots of TV today.
I've watched this trailer twice and it's not

80
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.240
grabbing me at all. But also, I have my best of the Year

81
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.040
list that I want to do and
I want to just record that now.

82
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.000
But Ricky doesn't come out until Christmas, and Trevor's not out yet, so

83
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.759
I gotta wait. So I don't
know. Maybe i'll check this one out.

84
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:47.959
If I don't get to it today, maybe i'll get to it tomorrow

85
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.160
after football. Speaking of Matt Riife, the Hindustan Times, which is your

86
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.399
home for comedy news, they noticed
that YouTuber Brooke Scofield was on that canceled

87
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:04.439
with tenem on podcast on December eighth, Brooke shared how she found out that

88
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.199
Matt Rife was cheating on her,
and she found out through TikTok. Brook

89
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.040
said she saw photos of Rife with
another woman taking during the time that she

90
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.040
was dating him earlier this year.
She dm the woman in the photo about

91
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.000
the timeline of the romance and they
started comparing notes. She says, there

92
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.600
were timelines, there were venn diagrams. We were comparing notes. It was

93
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.920
so crazy for a man who doesn't
have time, this man at the most

94
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.360
time, She said, I go
to send Matt a little message. I

95
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.920
wanted to get my fact straight,
as if my facts aren't straight enough,

96
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.839
and it wasn't even rude. I
just sent him a text and I was

97
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.399
like, how embarrassing is it that
I'm literally currently getting dragged for defending you

98
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.000
while also in a group chat with
seven other girlfriends you had. She says,

99
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.319
he blocked my number. Blocking me
is crazy. Brook, who is

100
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.160
described as an influencer, says she
hopes that the stand up star blocked her

101
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.360
number to respect his current girlfriend,
Jessica Lord, but then added he should

102
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:57.040
unfollow the two thousand porn stars he
still follows to this day. Effing weirdo.

103
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.199
Daniel Tosh spoke about cancel culture on
his podcast. His take, I

104
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.120
think it's great cancel people. I
think people deserve it, and you know,

105
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.079
obviously it's not a real thing where
like oh, your livelihood is gone.

106
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.480
As someone who's done things and said
horrible things constantly, I'm at backlash

107
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.199
and I deserve it. There has
to be consequences, and I also don't

108
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.480
think there's a problem with evolving.
I'm like, oh, I used to

109
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.759
be able to say this and now
I can't. Okay, Well, find

110
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.800
good. I'm okay with that.
Tosh claimed he has never changed because of

111
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.839
anything, and I guess we're going
full circle here. He's thankful that none

112
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:33.920
of his ex girlfriends ever wrote an
article criticizing him. From Inside Hook,

113
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:40.399
the question is social media killing stand
up comedy? Platforms like Instagram, TikTok,

114
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.199
and YouTube have been a boon of
creators of comics. Their unintended consequences,

115
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.040
however, have also been quite disruptive. Inside Hook says Billy Procida,

116
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.160
a comedian with fifteen years in stand
up, recently delivered a set in the

117
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:56.279
nude at the Brooklyn Sex Club.
This the naked comedy show I told you

118
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.680
about recently. Billy joked, I
recently had an affair with a married woman.

119
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.439
Takes a beat, and then says
also got in a fistfight with a

120
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.439
married man, but the punchlines expected
last were quickly undone by a woman who

121
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.319
yelled out no. Billy was like, well, okay, and this is

122
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.800
not TikTok, I can hear you. That got a good laugh. I'm

123
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.040
right here, there's no screen.
He moved on to another bit. I

124
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.120
slept with this woman recently. She's
an older and the woman yelled out no

125
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:25.399
in the middle of a joke.
Billy shared an Instagram video of the incident

126
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.319
and with a caption that said,
I was legit nervous. I was about

127
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.560
to yell at a disabled chick.
Over the crowd's gasps of disbelief, Billy

128
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.600
referenced a real trend among TikTok users
who may or may not have Tourette syndrome

129
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.480
and said, with the TikTok generation, you're all really into ticks. So

130
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.720
that's now. And then he stumbled, and he changes course and says,

131
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.519
I'll stop because otherwise I want to
yell at you. Then he said,

132
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.120
with anyone under twenty five, I'm
like, is this a disability or are

133
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.680
you just annoying? The audience applauded. Apparently they were on his side,

134
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.560
says Inside Hook. A number of
comics say that Heckling is on the rise.

135
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.720
Graham Kay is a veteran comedian from
Ottawa who said, I've heard from

136
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.360
a lot of comics that audiences are
more vocal. The things that get promoted

137
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.160
on TikTok and Instagram are mostly CrowdWork
videos, so people see people talking to

138
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.439
the comedian and it normalizes it.
The Hook reminds us sometimes comedians engage in

139
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.920
crowd work, but that's generally not
how stand up shows work. The social

140
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.360
contract accepted by most on either side
of the mic is that the comic usually

141
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.480
recites a string of words which may
have been toiled over for months in front

142
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.519
of other crowds who did not react
positively because the bit had yet to be

143
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.839
honed. Then eventually the audience is
compelled to laugh. Kay talked about current

144
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.759
audiences and said they've probably never been
to a stand up show where they go

145
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.080
once every five years, and they
don't know the culture. So when they

146
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.600
go for their annual stand up show
now they're talking more inside. Hook says,

147
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.759
Developing just ten minutes worth of jokes
that are sure to amuse a variety

148
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.320
of audiences each year was a relatively
high standard for comedians a few decades ago.

149
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.039
Back then, brief annual appearances on
late night TV shows was a primary

150
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.639
goal, but nowadays many performers work
on an hour of new material over the

151
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.919
course of a year or two.
They hope to score a stand up special

152
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.679
or record an album airon streaming platforms
and radio. And still posting even thirty

153
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.840
second clips that they're trying true jokes
once or twice a day on social media

154
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.279
is unsustainable for comedians over the long
term. That's where crowd work has come

155
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.879
into being. Vogue Case says,
because algorithms favor short clips, many comedians

156
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.639
will now include a controversial thesis statement
in the initial stage of the setup.

157
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.480
Comedians are starting to do comedy not
for the live audience in front of them,

158
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.720
but they're structuring their stand up for
a robot. The live audience is

159
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.120
coming second to a digital audience.
Colin Quinn discussed crowd work and said it's

160
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.960
like anything else in the wrong hands, it could be faked, It can

161
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:37.080
be manufactured. Yeah. I heard
there is a comedian who has done a

162
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.960
lot of comedian destroys Heckler videos,
and I heard two comedians suggesting that a

163
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.440
lot of that is staged. I'll
let them sort that out. Colin said,

164
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.360
when it's really spontaneous, it's fine. But sometimes with these comedians,

165
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.879
I'm watching and I'm like, hey, this person wasn't doing anything, and

166
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.080
you're just bullying them, and you're
just trying to get them to say something

167
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.840
so you can abuse them. That's
the other big crowd work trick. Nimesh

168
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.039
Ptil has a joke about taking an
uber from Kansas City to Omaha. Later

169
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.759
during the Q and A, a
woman in the audience asked him how much

170
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.960
the uber ride cost, and he
said, I didn't actually take an uber,

171
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.200
it's just for the joke. Come
on, lady, what the f

172
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.440
Numesh said. He rolled out old
performance clips he out on YouTube starting around

173
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.320
June twenty twenty, but it was
on TikTok that took off. The first

174
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.279
stand up clip I put on there
got like eight hundred thousand views. I

175
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.399
never had eight hundred thousand views on
anything ever before, even if you were

176
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.320
to sum up everything I'd ever posted. Then I started feeding that machine like

177
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.559
every day with a clip or two, and by March of twenty one,

178
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.080
I had a mass like eighty thousand
followers. I'm sorry if I've participated in

179
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.399
dumbing down audiences. Sorry if I've
participated in causing people to heckle and all

180
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.639
that. He was asked what part
of that apology is sarcastic and which is

181
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.000
authentic, and he said one hundred
percent on both. He now addresses the

182
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.960
hecklers by telling the crowd, some
of you might be here because you think

183
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.360
I'm going to talk to you the
entire time. That's not what this show

184
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.559
is. I'm sorry I lead you
to believe that that's what this is.

185
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.919
Sam Morrell talked about posting social media
and it was because of COVID. He

186
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.759
said, YouTube was really an active
desperation. It was like, I want

187
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.360
people to see the work that I
worked hard on. I'd been touring hard

188
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.120
for an hour. You put a
lot into it. If you're a real

189
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.480
comic who does the road, you're
honing it in a bunch of different cities

190
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.399
and you're sick all the time,
and you're like, how do I nail

191
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.279
this? I was one of the
earlier comics just to put a special on

192
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.600
YouTube, and I would definitely say
I was one of the early ones who

193
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.000
had done TV specials already. I
didn't ever do this with the expectations of

194
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.440
getting on Netflix. The expectation was
hopefully people buy tickets to see me on

195
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.159
the road. This is good.
I'm gonna pick up on more of this

196
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.000
tomorrow. There's a little bit more
here that I find interesting, a specific

197
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.000
to Instagram. And that's your comedy
news for today. If you enjoy the

198
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.919
show, tell a friend about it, and you can follow the show for

199

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.159
