00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.759
Callaroga Shark Media from the basement where it's literally fifty degrees.

2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.480
My boilers are not working. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.760
your daily comedy news. I am all discombobulated. It is

4
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:20.920
freezing in the house like cauld as. I have this

5
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.199
space heater and can kind of heat up one room.

6
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.920
It's just it's awful. There's supposedly coming on Sunday. Yikes,

7
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.679
So I'm a little messed up here. Billboard did release

8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.320
the top twenty five Comedians of the twenty first century,

9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.479
if you want to check that out on Billboard dot com.

10
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.200
I was hoping that today I would be able to

11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.479
record my thoughts on it and put it out as

12
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.640
a bonus episode for the paid subscribers, and it would

13
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.200
be in the regular feet at the end of December.

14
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.679
But not going to get to that today. Johnny Mack

15
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:48.759
is running late. And you know I mentioned I had

16
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.039
the wedding last night, so as I record this, it's

17
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.439
before the wedding. But I have to shower, shave, and

18
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.640
put on real clothes. It's one thing to sit here

19
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.479
dressed like Adam Sandler recording a podcast. It's another to

20
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.399
look like an adult and then people like, hey, is

21
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:01.960
that George Clooney, And I'm like, no, no, no, no,

22
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.400
I get that all the time. I did record the

23
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.680
Comedy Survivor Selection Show that'll come out as a bonus

24
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.760
feed in the middle of the day Monday. So Monday,

25
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.239
I'll give you a regular episode which I haven't recorded yet.

26
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.000
And the Comedy Survivor Selection Show that came out really

27
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.519
well and put a lot of work into that. One

28
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.200
had fun with that, all right. Today's news, Kevin Hart

29
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.560
was on Diary of a CEO, and Kevin said, if

30
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.359
life ended today, I could cross my legs comfortably and

31
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.000
be okay. I made sure I applied myself to the

32
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.000
best of my ability. I tried my best to put

33
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.799
those I loved in a better position so that they

34
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.760
could see more and do more. My last name and

35
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.319
my family name is much stronger today than it was yesterday.

36
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.319
The idea of the world is that something I was

37
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.840
able to live and understand better because I was blessed

38
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.680
and fortunate enough to travel in meat. I was an

39
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.280
energy and source of good to bring people closer together

40
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.280
through all the things I've done, so it all connects

41
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.719
and I'm okay. I'm okay. If it stopped, it stopped.

42
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.280
What I'm not okay with is w well. I have

43
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.920
the bandwidth of good health, great mind. I can go,

44
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.680
I can do it. I can get there. I'm not

45
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.680
okay with wasting that time. Those are good smart words

46
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.400
by card If you haven't watched his special, it'll probably

47
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.599
unless something surprises me this week wind up as my

48
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.680
number two special of the year, Very very funny. Gary

49
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.680
Golman was asked what's the worst and most illogical state

50
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.919
abbreviation and why is it MO for Missouri. Gary said

51
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.560
they must have gone in alphabetical order and got to

52
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.879
Michigan and Mississippi before Missouri. Then they got to Missouri

53
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.879
and the next non s letter was Oh, that must

54
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.759
be how they did it. It's not intuitive at all.

55
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.400
They should have based it on population. Gary was asked

56
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.360
to talk about the Chicago comedy scene. He says, I've

57
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.719
been really impressed over the years. There were a lot

58
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:34.000
of good comedians in the eighties, white guys from Chicago

59
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.599
who reminded me of Boston comedians, but with a different accent.

60
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.479
The thing I noticed in Chicago's on the top five

61
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.199
for this The closer city is to university. I couldn't

62
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.639
have gotten into the better my act does. It never

63
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.919
fails the further I go from a good college the

64
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.039
harder I bomb Chicago has a Northwestern University of Chicago

65
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.000
and others. It's not about me being smart. It's about

66
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.560
how I try to sound smart, and it's appreciated there.

67
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.319
I found there were more comedians trying to sound dumb.

68
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.520
You spend five minutes watching them and you think that

69
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.199
person's not dumb. Those jokes that you clever, you're insulting

70
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.719
my intelligence. Billboard asked Josh Johnson if there were any

71
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.159
challenges making the transition from writer to correspondent to anchor.

72
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.159
Josh shedd it's probably hitting refresh after each show. It's

73
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.879
not a bad thing, but you could be on cloud

74
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.479
nine after you do a show. Right after the rap,

75
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.199
there's an element of okay, but do we have to

76
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.120
come back tomorrow and start again. At the end of

77
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:19.879
a week, you get to enjoy everything that you did

78
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.960
and be like, wow, that's a great experience. Day to day,

79
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.879
hitting refresh is sometimes a challenge, although I'm used to

80
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:26.360
it from doing so much stand up on the road.

81
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.479
You're in West Palm Beach one day, Jacksonville the next day,

82
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.520
and maybe Tallahassee the next I feel the same way

83
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.039
about my YouTube channel, where I post every Tuesday. Variety

84
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.759
was focused on Morgan Jay, and they wrote, Morgan Jay

85
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.319
is not your typical stand up comedian. Variety rights. Armed

86
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.759
with an acoustic guitar and autotune drench microphone, Morgan Jay

87
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.960
sprints down the ass of the theaters in which he performs,

88
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.080
bantering with his fans and leading them in song. He

89
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.080
pours tequila shots into women's mouth straight from the bottle,

90
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:52.800
convinces his couples on first dates to give each other

91
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.520
a smooch, and push his wheelchair bound audience members across

92
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.560
the venues, recruiting bad ease to sit on their laps.

93
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.319
All the while he stairs directly into the lens of

94
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.479
a roaming camera that follows him around and projects his

95
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.479
face onto a JumboTron. He's got a health and fitness

96
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.960
regiment equipped for a pop star. That regiment running every

97
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.520
other day, jim every other day, yoga, twenty minutes of

98
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.120
stretching a day, vocal exercises every day while I'm touring.

99
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.160
No alcohol, no weed, no smoking whatsoever, and no meals

100
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.519
after eight PM. Now. I love that because right when

101
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.000
I was reading vocal exercises every day, my voice cracked

102
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.519
and I'm leaving it in. And I worked out five

103
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.959
days in a row, and then I had to teach

104
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.120
Thursday morning, and then Friday I had to record this

105
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.120
and go to a wedding and not watch Adam Sailor

106
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.319
Jay Kelly and Today's Saturday. I'm not going to get

107
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.279
to work out either, because I didn't do the weekend

108
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.920
shows yet. Uh, this is how you wind up fat

109
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.600
well that in the seven thirty Am cheeseburgers I ate

110
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.600
when I was twenty four years old producing morning radio

111
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.600
in New York City. That's a story for another day.

112
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.199
Morgan Jay says, it's an investment for people come to

113
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.240
the show. I'd hate not to be able to give

114
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.959
my fans the best show I can give them. Variety

115
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.519
did some math. Ticket plus parking plus merch plus two

116
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.839
drinks plus hotel can easily tell them more than five

117
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.759
hundred dollars, so you don't need a hotel go home.

118
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.720
Jay sett of minds two things that comedy purist might

119
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.079
scoff at, music and crowd work. People get so upset

120
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.000
about the crowd work. Did you watch Matt Raife special?

121
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.800
It's funny Variety really waxed his car, They wrote, Just

122
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.079
as Bo Burnham might be the quintessential comic to rise

123
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.040
from YouTube, Morgan Jay embodies comedy's TikTok era. He posts

124
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.240
about one crowd work clip per day to his nine

125
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.959
point four million followers, asking people where they're from, who

126
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.319
they're with, and whether they will sleep together after the show,

127
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.000
all while talk Singing into a pitch corrected mic, he says,

128
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.959
crowd work, It's only the first twenty minutes of his set.

129
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.199
The rest of his show follows a more rigid structure,

130
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.160
with pre written songs and interludes, a traditional stand up comedy,

131
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.160
and no, the autotune is not always on. Interestingly, after college,

132
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.000
Morgan Jay was an intern on NBC's Tonight Show when

133
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.439
it was hosted by Conan O'Brien. He explained Conan would

134
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.639
have three or four pages of jokes for the opening monologue,

135
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.199
and the interns were asked to come down and watching

136
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.120
rehearse so he could get a live reaction. He'd read

137
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.839
the jokes immediately go no, no, no, yes no. He

138
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.240
wasn't precious with the material. After the Tonight show Mortgage

139
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.600
Jay was a bike to our guide plugging his own

140
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.160
show to tourist cycling around Central Park. Then he got

141
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.839
a job hawking iPhones. He said ninety percent of working

142
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.959
at the Apple stores resetting passwords. That's funny. He started

143
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.360
doing the autotude crowd work during the pandemic, but says

144
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.800
they did do a grind. When I started going viral

145
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.720
on TikTok, I had ten years of experience and a

146
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:19.800
backlog of material. Or people will blow up on TikTok

147
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.240
who don't have twenty minutes of material. People see me

148
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.040
as this TikTok comedian. There are a lot of other

149
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.199
sizes of myself. I'd like to show. These. Glar brothers

150
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.360
talked about being twins and said being twins, even from

151
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.000
an early age, was an attention getter. Back when we

152
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.079
were born in the seventies, it was rare to see twins.

153
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.040
You rarely saw a double wide stroller. I think as

154
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:38.639
we got older, there was a lot of attention on us.

155
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.120
We love getting laughs and being connected to people. When

156
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:42.639
we started out, it was hard to live in Saint

157
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.480
Louis and give yourself a lot of opportunities in the

158
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.720
Comedy World. We went to the University of Michigan for

159
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.120
college and really started to develop our comedy chops. Then

160
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.360
we had a choice either go to New York or

161
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:52.920
la if you really wanted to try and make a

162
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.839
run at this business. So we chose New York because

163
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.160
we love New York and the energy there. I worked

164
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.959
with those guys a little bit. They are cool guys.

165
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.839
Gave them a show on serious as most of the

166
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.040
stories I tell you. I couldn't get anyone to give

167
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.439
me any budget for it, and it was not a

168
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.279
lot of money, but you know, you got to give

169
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.480
people some money. So many missed opportunities. We tried to

170
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.120
give Amy Schumer a show before she super popped, but

171
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.839
no money. Chang Wang caught up with Cincinnati dot Com

172
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.680
sincey dot Com wrote, that's understandable in a club where

173
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.800
there's fifty one hundred people, but if a thousand people

174
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.040
are in the line, you'd be in the lobby twice.

175
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.480
As long as you're on stage, Shang said, I try

176
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.040
to keep it moving. It's quick, photo quick. Hello. Charging

177
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.639
feels weird to me to just say hello to people.

178
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.959
It feels so nice that people will express how excited

179
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.000
and happy they are for the show, the topic they

180
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.000
are charging for meet and greets. A lot of comics

181
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.120
do that. Shang said, I love seeing generations of a

182
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.439
family have a reason to spend time together. Someone in

183
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.279
Milwaukee thank me because they get to spend an hour

184
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.160
and a half with their mom and they rarely get

185
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.079
to laugh and spend time together like that. I might

186
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.519
not hang after shows forever, but right now it's touching

187
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.560
and sweet to me. Fun interview here Cincinnati dot Com

188
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.160
doing their research said I ran across a wedding page

189
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.480
that said you're marrying Rachel Rowlands next summer in Oh Yeah.

190
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.439
I don't know how many Sheng Wang's are out there,

191
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.000
but it seems like a singular name. Comedian Shengwan said,

192
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.000
you know, I saw that recently. I don't know what

193
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.800
that is, but it feels like a scam. There's no

194
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.160
photos of who they are. Since he said, it says

195
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.079
please send presents to Rachel Shen Wing said, exactly, that's

196
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.920
such a good scam. At the University of Southern California,

197
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.839
you can minor in comedy. You can take classes in

198
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.000
stand up improv, magic, and medical clowning. About fifteen to

199
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.639
twenty undergrads complete the minor each academic year. The La

200
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.200
Times took a look at this program. I found this interesting.

201
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.559
Launched in the fall of twenty fifteen by the School

202
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.360
of Dramatic Arts. Some of the students are seeking careers

203
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.200
as actors. Others are just in careers in medicine, science

204
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.120
and engineering. For them, comedy offers a chance to develop

205
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.200
skills that could be useful in their hope for professions

206
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.200
and their daily lives. There's an intro to stand up

207
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:53.080
class that's also the medical clowning one, in that students

208
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.360
learn how to interact with hospital patients. Along the way,

209
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.440
they're taught how to juggle and perform magic tricks. The

210
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.279
professor of the said, some of the students have gone

211
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.799
on and graduate from medical school. That's fun. One of

212
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.759
the students, Malaya, who wants to be a doctor, said,

213
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.799
at first, my dad was like, why am I paying

214
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.759
tuition for this? I have a college aged daughter. I

215
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.320
encourage her to take fun elective. She actually took a

216
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:21.000
sailing class, which was really great. Paris Sachet is on

217
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.200
Vulture's list of comedians You should Know and Will Know

218
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.879
and ask two questions Best comed advice worst comedy advice.

219
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.360
I always enjoy these answers. Worst women aren't normally funny,

220
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.799
so be grateful. Every time you get booked on a show,

221
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.919
make sure you stand out because they didn't have to

222
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:38.120
book a woman. Best comedy advice was if you're nervous,

223
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:39.440
and no matter how big the room is, if you

224
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.399
look straight to the back, it'll look like you're looking

225
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.279
at the entire room. It'll give off that you're making

226
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.559
eye contact with the entire crowd. That is a great tip. Also,

227
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.879
be funny on stage, but'd be likable off stage. Roy

228
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.080
Wood Junior advised her don't leave any meat on the

229
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.759
bone when it comes to a topic. He said, rather

230
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.879
than talking about ten different topics, you can literally talk

231
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.960
about one topic until you get everything out of that

232
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.320
one topic that you can also on that list. Ismail

233
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.720
Lufti Best comedy advice, Worst comedy advice. Best when I

234
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.679
was starting out in Florida and older comics on me

235
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.399
performing one night and said, you give a hoot, Keep

236
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:14.240
giving a hoot. Worst. I once wrote for CBS's After Midnight.

237
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.080
Other than writing games and stuff, one of the duties

238
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.919
of the writers was to serve as a Shirpa for

239
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.799
the different comedian. Guess who'd come on One day, I

240
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.559
was working with a pretty huge comic. He came in

241
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.720
Stone out of his mind and refused to wear shoes.

242
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.600
Eventually we sort of bonded away, look me dead in

243
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.120
the eye and said, if I can give you any advice,

244
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.679
Islam not my name, it's this be undeniable. Then he

245
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.159
stared at me completely serious, as if he just blew

246
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:37.759
my mind. Then he won on TV and took off

247
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.600
his shirt. It was the stupidest moment of my life.

248
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.080
I'm talking to a barely sentient, half naked blob who's

249
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.399
parroting something Jim Gaffigan famously said earlier, as if he

250
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.799
came up with it himself. Who do you think that is? So?

251
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.720
Who would show up at after midnight? So it can't

252
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.240
be a huge comedian if they during after midnight and

253
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.519
the person took off their shirts. So we're all thinking

254
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.320
Burt Krescher, But it's not gonna be Burt Krescher here.

255
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.360
So who showed up Stone and did a poor man's

256
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.679
Jim Gaffick? And that is a good question. Let me

257
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:05.159
know what you think about that. In the Facebook group

258
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.720
Daily Company news podcast group Ishmael, do you have any

259
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.320
advice to others? None of us deserve success selling out tours,

260
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.039
writing jobs, pilots, Netflix specials. I've held insurance through the

261
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:15.879
writer skills. Am I so good at writing that I

262
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.960
deserve to go to the doctor while other comics don't?

263
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.399
Of course not. It's a brutal, unfair, unsustainable scam. If

264
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.120
you're experiencing success, you'd better be humble. If you're struggling,

265
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.600
take solace in the fact the rich shall not enter

266
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.960
the Kingdom of God. That is your comedy news on

267
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.559
a Saturday. Have a great day.
