00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.080
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your Daly comedy news
3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.919
The La Signs, which has a great conception. By the way,
4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.359
They caught up with Danny DeVito and Charlie Day. They're
5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.399
out promoting season seventeen. If It's always sunny in Philadelphia.
6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.440
Danny DeVito apologized for sounding like he had just come
7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.079
out of the salt mines. He said, I did a
8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.079
lot of yelling this week. Danny talked about joining the
9
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:30.960
show and said, I knew lots about the show already.
10
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.039
I was going in because I was friends with the
11
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.719
president of the network at the time, John Langraf, sent
12
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.280
me the first eight shows and I watched it with
13
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:38.920
my family. He was saying he was talking about these
14
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.159
really talented guys that he was working with, and John
15
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.200
was building a network over there. I can't remember exactly
16
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:44.880
where we met, but when we met, it was weird.
17
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.200
It was the first thing. Throw me a little bit.
18
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.840
Do you remember where it was? Charlie said, yeah, we
19
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.799
had a lunch. You meet Robin Glent on Beverly Boulevard.
20
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.719
We didn't have an office. We were writing the second season.
21
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.600
You'd agreed to the show and you came in, like
22
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.960
your character from Get Shorty. You started ordering for all
23
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:58.640
of us, and you told us some crazy story about
24
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.520
your father having a box full of tea and watches,
25
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.159
and we're just taking notes. I think we pitched a
26
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.400
couple different character names. I think you shot down a
27
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.200
few of them, but you liked Frank. Charlie Day said Danny,
28
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.200
I know that I went and spent maybe a whole
29
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.079
week rewatching almost everything he'd ever done. I watched every
30
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.280
episode of Taxi. I watched almost every single movie I
31
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.519
could find, just studying a fighter you're going up against,
32
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.439
and it was Get Shorty that really kind of locked in
33
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.439
for me. A lot of people, what have you do
34
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.239
that Louis de Palma thing over and over again. You're
35
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.439
so great at that. But there was something so idiosyncratic
36
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.040
about to Get Shorty character and unpredictable that we were like, oh,
37
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.439
if we could tap into that. I think it took
38
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:29.799
us a couple of seasons to do it, And then
39
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.480
it felt like Kissmith that he sort of came in
40
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.599
a meeting like that. Guy. Divido talked about Frank and
41
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.079
Charlie's relationship and said, I like the idea of the
42
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.159
scheming and everything that everybody else does, and they do
43
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.519
it in a normal way. They want to make money,
44
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:41.879
they want to get ahead, they want to be famous,
45
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:43.640
they want the bar to succeed. They want this that
46
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.359
Whenever Charlie does something, it titillates Frank. The Times of
47
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:52.439
London spoke with Taylor Tomlinson. Now something driving me nuts here.
48
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.480
First of all, I really like Taylor Thomason, but I
49
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.079
just think this copywriting is so lazy. The Taylor Swift
50
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.359
of stand up talks about oversharing it. Why is she
51
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.920
the Taylor Swift of stand up? Because their name is Taylor,
52
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.640
because they're both blonde. Taylor Thompson looks more like Taylor
53
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.879
Swift than I do by a lot. But is she
54
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.680
the Taylor Swift of stand up?
55
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:13.319
Like?
56
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.879
What does that even mean? They're both named Taylor. Okay,
57
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.840
Joe Coy has never made a mean, horrible joke about
58
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.560
Taylor Thompson as far as I know. Taylor Thompson has
59
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.280
never iced Joe Coy's career by giving him a dirty
60
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.080
stare instead of just laughing at the joke and going
61
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.000
ha ha. Anyway, I digress. The Taylor Swift of comedy said,
62
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.919
I've been a full time comedian for ten years, and
63
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.520
it's been NonStop. Before that, I was working two jobs
64
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.520
and in college. I think after this tour, I'm going
65
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.240
to take some real time off because I've been burning
66
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.560
the canile. It both ends for a long time. My
67
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.719
career is everything I've ever wanted. There are certain aspects
68
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.719
of my personal life that could certainly use some time
69
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.919
and attention. Taylor grew up in a religious family. She
70
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.439
began a question her of faith at age eight after
71
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.199
her mother died from cancer and her father, who she
72
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.800
no longer speaks to, remarried ten months later. Tomlinson said,
73
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.039
I've had to work through a lot of my guilt
74
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.000
and shame around sex and leaving the church. When there's
75
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.159
a significant part of you that's being repressed because you
76
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.960
were raised a certain way by certain people, I don't
77
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.960
think it's possible to talk about that without a lot
78
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.240
of anger and resentment release. It wasn't for me. Coming
79
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.639
out as bisexual was the final piece. Look, I'm not
80
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.520
an atheist. I'm not ruling anything out or judging anybody's choices,
81
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.879
as long as you're not using religion to scare, manipulating, control, people,
82
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.879
so it's just been many years of sorting through all that.
83
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.759
Sometimes it's funny to make jokes about something you're really
84
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.759
angry about, but it also could be detrimental if you
85
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.520
try to talk about something too soon. Some of the
86
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.879
jokes I've done about my mom dying, I tried when
87
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.879
I was twenty and I hadn't been in too much therapy,
88
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.599
and I think you can tell when someone's not doing well.
89
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.680
It's similar to going on stage and knocking over the mic.
90
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.400
It just makes people nervous if they feel like you
91
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.080
don't have full control over yourself their jokes I wrote
92
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.639
for this tour, then I ended up cutting because I
93
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.919
was like, I don't think I'm ready to talk about
94
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.000
that yet. It would feel icky and like I overshared
95
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.639
because I was talking about things that aren't resolved for
96
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.759
me emotionally and are still very much affecting me in
97
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.800
a complicated negative way. Mack Packer Andy Samberg says that
98
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.520
Liam Neeson's upcoming Naked Gun reboot is good. That's stunning.
99
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.560
I'll trust Andy Samberg, now, let's all be fair. The
100
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.039
Naked Gun is directed by Akiva Shaeffer, who's the frequent
101
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.800
collaborator with Andy Samberg, both from The Lonely Island and
102
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.919
The Wonderfully Terrific. What is the jose Ca and Seiko
103
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.960
Mark Maguire thing? What's that called? Oh my god? I
104
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.120
love that thing. So either he's stating out with his
105
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.920
friend or you know, Akiva. Schaeffer's got a pretty good
106
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.199
track record. When I saw the trailer, when I saw
107
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.839
the original idea, I was like, yeah. But Andy Samberg
108
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.040
says The Naked Gun is pure joy, saying that Schaeffer
109
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.920
crushed it. Samberg says everyone who's seen the film loves it,
110
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.959
and the film is all jokes. Wall A Wall. Everyone
111
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.879
I've seen it with walked out saying the same thing,
112
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.720
which is like, I didn't realize how much him is
113
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.920
that feeling of a pure silly comedy that's all jokes.
114
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.000
Wat a Wall in a theater, Me and a Kiva
115
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.839
are always involved in each other stuff, and I think he
116
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.160
just crushed it. Liam is so funny at it. He's
117
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.199
so good. Pam Anderson is so good at it too.
118
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.160
I'm really excited for them. I hope everybody goes and
119
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:56.360
sees it because it's super funny album. Hopefully, The Naked
120
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.600
gun is out. August first caught this one in Vice.
121
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.839
I didn't write this article. I'm just telling you about it.
122
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.839
The headline in Vice is, these guys watch Adam Sandler's Click,
123
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.879
the most demoralizing film ever made. Every single week. I'm
124
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.079
telling you I didn't write this. Wece wrote ever have
125
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.079
the misfortune of seeing Adam Sandlor's Click. I put it
126
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.600
on to ease a hangover sometimes in two thousand and eight,
127
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.360
expecting a brain numbing, heartwarming rump, abiding by the same
128
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.720
two word arc that all Adam Sandler films abided by.
129
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.120
That point, idiot prospers. In case you're wondering, it goes
130
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.800
a little something like this. Adam Sandler's character finds a
131
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.199
magic TV remote in a warehouse that can fast forward
132
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.920
time itself. He rejoices because he can now skip all
133
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.519
the boring parts of his life, arguments being ill, eating
134
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.600
dinner with his family, and go straight to the good
135
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.680
stuff like promotions and pay hikes. But then the magic
136
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.680
TV remote learns Sandler's preferences, and it goes rogue, choosing
137
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.600
for itself which parts of his life to fast forward. Soon,
138
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.600
Adam Sandler's hurtling towards the grave, powerless to stop the remote.
139
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.680
One minute, his kids are toddlers, the next day have
140
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.560
gray hair, His wife marries their swimming coach. His dogs
141
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.800
keep dying until one attacks, and when he's a pensioner
142
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.000
and the doctor's find out he has cancer. This year
143
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.240
I came across the Twitter account click Thinks, ran by
144
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.480
two anonymous Australians who've been watching the Adam Sandler movie
145
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.120
Click every week since twenty twenty, and will continue to
146
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.759
do so for the rest of linear time. One of
147
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.240
the anonymous fans said, we started an online movie night
148
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.120
during the pandemic. We didn't think too hard about our
149
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.120
first pick. We just landed on Click. Then the next
150
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.319
week came around, instead of something new, we just watched
151
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.040
Click again. Five years on, we're still watching Click every
152
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.519
week as if it's the only thing holding reality together.
153
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.920
It's like a dare that nobody backed out of. I
154
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.519
like that it feels like a play with a clear
155
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.600
two act structure. For the first half, it's the kind
156
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.839
of humor that Sandlor fans would expect. But then as
157
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.519
the film transitions into its second act, it pulls the
158
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.720
rugout from under you. Suddenly it's no longer about the
159
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.000
comedic possibilities of a TV remote, but about the devastating
160
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.040
consequences of prioritizing the wrong things in life. This guy
161
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.639
has over one hundred and fifty physical versions of Click.
162
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.319
He says his favorite is the Japanese version, which translates
163
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.720
to if you could choose yesterday. He's got a Korean
164
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.000
VHS tape. He's working on a rare Russian VHS copy.
165
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.279
The Click fan said, the film encourages us to reframe
166
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.439
how we see our daily lives, not as filler between
167
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.600
big events, but as the core of our human experience.
168
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.800
Today is comedy auction. Comedy auction is part stand up show,
169
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.680
part fever, dream yard sale. Audience members bring weird, wonderful,
170
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.560
or cursed items from home. Two comedians auction them off.
171
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.800
Greg Berman ish your host. Each item comes with a story,
172
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.160
Each bid comes with a punchline. All proceeds go to
173
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.519
a local nonprofit. If you're in Portland, Oregon, it's at
174
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.399
Kickstand Comedy today. Check that one out that sounds fun.
175
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.759
Over in the UK, Channel four is getting all involved
176
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.160
with YouTube now they've started something called a comedy thing.
177
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.879
So two points Aam's gonna report on this anyway, and
178
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.000
then b when I saw they called it a comedy thing,
179
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.439
I was like, hey, you know, I've been hosting something
180
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.160
called The Weekly Comedy Thing for over a decade. Now,
181
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.480
new episode out today on the Live one app. The
182
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.720
app is free, the show is free. What is the
183
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.240
Weekly Comedy Thing? The Weekly Comedy Thing is like this,
184
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.040
except I can actually play the bits, you know, royalties
185
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.000
and stuff rules. I can't just be like and here's
186
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.240
a six minute clip from George Carlin. Podcasting doesn't work
187
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.600
that way, but on the Live one app, I can
188
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.360
do that. It's called The Weekly Comedy Thing. New episodes
189
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.120

really differently titled Comedy Thing by Channel four will publish
191
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.399
weekly long form programming for YouTube plus content on TikTok
192
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.720

193
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:43.720

195
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.039

196
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.600
not the enemy, but is a distribution platform, and that

be back tomorrow with another edition of Daily Comedy News.
210
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:37.600
And now stick around for this.
211
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.120
Interview our sister. I'm going to bring forward and yours
212
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.879
and give it to you now. And he said, oh wow,
213
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.320
that's great, thank you, that's so generous of you. Car
214
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.600
that's great. But his wife, my sister in law, went ballistic.
215
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.840
She said, this is too much money, this is wrong.
216
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.559
I don't want anything to do with and stormed out.
217
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:57.879
Of the room.
218
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.559
And I thought, well, that's not what I expected. Oh
219
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.480
my god. So I realized from that that this was
220
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.639
not an easy thing to do. So I learned a
221
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.519
lesson from that, and I knew that I had to
222
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.279
do this authentically. I had to do it right, otherwise
223
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.960
it was not going to work. So that happened. And
224
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.559
then the third thing that happened was that I was
225
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.440
looking at my financial statements and I had more money
226
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.159
there than I was really using. It was sitting there.
227
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.720
I mean, it was growing, making profits and so forth,
228
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.360
but it wasn't being used. I wasn't using it for me.
229
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.799
I wasn't using it for things that I really cared about,
230
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:34.960
not for my people. So I thought, well, if I
231
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.279
have all this money now, why should I wait until
232
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.480
I die? Why don't I bring it forward? And then
233
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.519
it was a long process for me to come around
234
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.039
to that, but that's what finally started this, and I said, well,
235
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.799
I'll do it. Now.
236
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.279
Let's back up just a bit. Tell us a little
237
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.360
bit about your new book. What is the Happiness Experiment.
238
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.919
Well, this is a recording of the real events with
239
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.200
real people who I decided that I would bring forward
240
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.120
the inheritance the money I had for them in my
241
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.879
will and made it a prequest, so it was a
242
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.759
chunk of money that they were going to get. Well
243
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.480
they were still young enough to enjoy it, and I
