00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.560
Hey, I'm Jennie mac with your daily comedy news. Now
3
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:13.759
I'm recording Sunday and Money back to back. So I
4
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.480
just in my life thirty seconds ago did that list
5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.600
of the funniest women comedian? How is Nicky Glazer not
6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.800
on that list? She's like the ind comic right now.
7
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:23.920
I feel like she should be on the list. When
8
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:25.440
was that list from? And case you missed it. At
9
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.399
the end of yesterday's podcast, I dove in on an
10
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.399
article from Vogue that was called twenty of the Funniest
11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.640
female Comedians of All Time from March of twenty twenty five,
12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.600
So I'm thinking about that more. I mean, the list
13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.759
was okay, but should Nicky be on it? It's our silverman.
14
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.520
Do we want to go down the SNL rabbit hole?
15
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.320
I mean, Kate McKinnon's pretty funny, Amy Polar, Tina Fey, No, yes,
16
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.479
Allen was a pretty good stand up, Sandra Bernhard is
17
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.399
a pretty good stand up. Taylor Thompson's pretty funny. So
18
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.799
I don't know. It's an odd tide list anyway. That
19
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.159
was at the end of yesterday's show. It continues to
20
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.600
be slow on these parts and you know, I was
21
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.799
trying and lead off with a big name comedian in
22
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:06.519
the A block because it allows me to throw a
23
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.519
big name comedian into the episode title and then hopefully
24
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.799
I get some drive by people sampling the show. That's
25
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.599
how this works being transparent here. I got pretty far
26
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.359
deep into the script today and I was like, I
27
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.120
don't have something for the A block. So I typed
28
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:23.000
Joe and Rogan into Google and found this article from
29
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.319
Newsweek which asks is Joe Rogan losing his mojo? I'm
30
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.000
gonna answer no, but they say. Spotify charts show that
31
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.879
Rogan's podcast dropped from its usual top position to second
32
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:37.040
place in January, overtaken by The Sean Ryan Show. It
33
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.159
fell again to third place in February, behind Fall of
34
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.359
Civilizations and The Midas Touched Podcast, before reclaiming second place,
35
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:48.200
this time to Amy Poehler's news show Good. Hang, okay,
36
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.040
let me explain podcast charts to you. I'll start with
37
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.000
the Apple podcast charts because I'm more familiar with how
38
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.319
they work. There's a recency bias based upon how many
39
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.640
people have subscribed recently. So, for example, if you can
40
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.640
get two thousand of your friends to suddenly subscribe on
41
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.000
this podcast in the next hour, I will have the
42
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.000
number one podcast in the country for at least a
43
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.240
short while. Now, as you guys accelerate me to number one,
44
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.840
what will happen is other people will go what's this
45
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.400
and hit subscribe or follow on Apple Podcasts the nomenclature,
46
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:20.719
and then my podcast will stay high up in the
47
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.639
charts for a bit and hopefully a bunch of people
48
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.280
stick around, and then suddenly I'll have a top two
49
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.000
hundred podcast. That's how that works. So sometimes if you
50
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:28.599
look at the charts at like weird times, like go
51
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.919
on at like Sunday morning at like seven am, and
52
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.080
you'll see something random at number one, and people know
53
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.159
how the system works and they'll game it and people
54
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.680
will get a flurry of subscribers, and some people known
55
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.319
to pay people to hit subscribe. So I think with
56
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.759
the charts you kind of have to look long term,
57
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.960
and you know, Rogan's always there at the top. So
58
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.639
the recency bias is part of it. There's total downloads,
59
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.120
how much of an episode people consume, all that goes
60
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:56.439
into it, but the big factor is recent downloads. Anybody
61
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.360
in the industry will tell you that Joe Rogan is
62
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.319
number one by a lot. It's not close. I'm not
63
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:02.919
saying if you don't look at the charts like I'll
64
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.039
look right now as I record this on Friday, So
65
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.000
right now, Apple has it Polar, Mel Robbins, Rogan, And
66
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.560
I'm not saying Polar is not super popular. I am
67
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.800
not saying Mel Robins is super popular. What I am
68
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.280
saying is no, Joe Rogan hasn't lost his mojo. The
69
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.800
Spotify charts, I don't know exactly how they work. I
70
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.240
assume they're similar. But also understand, despite what you read,
71
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.960
most podcasts audio podcasts are consumed on Apple Podcasts, and
72
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.400
Spotify is number two, and the Spotify charts can be
73
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.599
a little wonky, and Spotify tends to promote their own things.
74
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.919
For example, Amy Poehler's for The Ringer, which is owned
75
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.439
by Spotify. Again, not saying Gami Polar's not good, not
76
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.000
saying Amy Polers not number one on the Apple podcast
77
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.120
which Spotify does not owner control. But you know that
78
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.560
kind of thing factors into it, so don't oversteer it
79
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.560
to the charts. Joe Rogan had fifty one and a
80
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.280
half million downloads in February. Now let me walk you
81
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.479
through some numbers in podcasting, a live read, you know,
82
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.879
a host read you hear me? Do those sometimes for
83
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.560
the gambling website is sold on a CPM model. Let's
84
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.120
do lazy math. Say you get twenty dollars for CPM.
85
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.199
These days, you'll get more like twenty three twenty four.
86
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.479
If somebody wants to be in a premium environment, they'll
87
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.680
get more. But let's do lazy math. So at twenty
88
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.279
dollars CPM means if I want to reach one thousand
89
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.680
listeners and ad would cost me twenty dollars. Okay, So
90
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.000
by my account, Rogan had sixteen episodes STROP in February,
91
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:29.959
and we'll accept the fifty one and a half million
92
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.839
downloads number, and we'll accept my made up twenty dollars CPM.
93
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.879
Fifty one and a half million downloads across sixteen episodes
94
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.600
means three point two million people downloading each episode. At
95
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.519
a twenty dollars CPM, that would mean each live read
96
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.000
is sixty four thousand dollars. If he runs three per episode,
97
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.319
that would be one hundred and ninety three thousand dollars
98
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.439
per episode. And if you do that sixteen times, just
99
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.600
in commercials, the show would gross three million dollars. Now
100
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.160
we do that twelve months a year, that's thirty six
101
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.360
million dollars a year. And I'm going to guess the
102
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.519
numbers are higher because Joe Rogan was reportedly paid one
103
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.839
hundred million, So my CPMs may be low. There may
104
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.720
be more than three commercial per hour. I haven't listened,
105
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.879
but just to give you a sense of is Joe
106
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.439
Rogan struggling? Now? Matt Rife is going to be on
107
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:25.040
the Discovery Channel's Ghost Adventures. Yeah, Wednesday, ten pm Eastern. Yeah,
108
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.560
we'll have to pick between Ghost Adventures or Malany, Which
109
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.120
will you pick? The Ghost Adventures crew head to Nevada
110
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.639
to investigate the recently shuttered Whiskey Pete's Hotel and Casino,
111
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.040
a sprawling historic property marked by murder, mystery, and unexplained activity,
112
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.879
and is believed to be haunted by the notorious bootlegger
113
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:48.839
for which it's named Whiskey Pete. Joined by special guest investigator,
114
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.560
comedian and paranormal officionado Matt Rife, the team is immediately
115
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.079
affected by the dark energy and ominous activity within the buildings.
116
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.240
Sounds scary. Shehan Wang was one to get public broadcastings
117
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.800
Where We Live podcast. They were curious how important it
118
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.600
is to have friends like Ali Wong to go through
119
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.319
the journey with the journey of comedy. Shang said, I
120
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.639
think it's tough for immigrant kids to be doing stuff
121
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.639
like this. I mean it might be a little different now,
122
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.879
but I think pursuing a craft like this can be
123
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.800
full of potholes and doubts and bumps on the road,
124
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.319
you know. So when we have friends that do it
125
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.560
together with it makes all the difference. You know, little community,
126
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.399
it really helps a lot. It's kind of the whole
127
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:24.920
reason you do it because at the beginning it all
128
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.759
seems like what's the point. You know, you're just doing
129
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.360
open mics at random places, from like empty rooms to
130
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.519
launder mats, wherever you can put a microphone on a speaker.
131
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.639
The whole way. There's always moments where you're gonna doubt yourself.
132
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.839
That Jay Leno interview he gave to Graham Benzger, it
133
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.360
continues to pay off if you're trying to fill your
134
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.680
script for your daily coming to News podcast. Jay did
135
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.560
not deny which Joe got under his skin. It is
136
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.920
the one in Conan's Final Tonight Show monologue when Conan
137
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.279
said much funnier than I will tell it. I just
138
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.120
want to say to the kids out there watching, you
139
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.439
can do anything you want in life, unless Jay Leto
140
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.480
wants to do it too. That's a great joke I
141
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.639
mentioned yesterday, trying to get a feel for is Jay
142
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.480
let know a bad guy good guy? I think he's
143
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.639
a good guy. I explained yesterday ConA thing aside a
144
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.680
little more. This is from a different interview where Jay
145
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.439
talking about his wife Mavis. Mavis has Alzheimer's disease. Jay says,
146
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.279
I just try to get home every night. That's the
147
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.600
only difference. The plane weights and I come right back.
148
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.920
I used to stay out three or four days. I
149
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.560
just stay out one day now two days. Most. I
150
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.480
enjoy it. I like taking care of my wife. I
151
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.240
don't mind it. It's not the greatest thing in the world,
152
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.959
but it's okay. It's not like she's in any pain,
153
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.879
screaming or anything. She smiles and I can see when
154
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.879
she's pleased with something. You know, it is what it is.
155
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.199
I'm glad it didn't happen when we were forty. You
156
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.000
have forty good years and you have five. Kind of
157
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.000
tricky ones, that's okay. Do I wish it never happened?
158
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.399
Of course, You've got to find a humor in it.
159
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.279
It's like a test. I'm glad I passed. I'm very
160
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.560
comfortable with it. Jay has kept up his tradition of
161
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.959
making Mavis dinner and then they watched TV together, although
162
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.399
he says Mavis is almost totally bit written and she
163
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.360
can't remember what happened from one episode to the next.
164
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.279
Jay says, it's really the same thing. You just can't
165
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.439
have a discussion or talk about things. Somehow, I've become
166
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.360
the patriarch of the family. He pays eleven thousand dollars
167
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.199
a month each for a brother in law and an
168
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.839
uncle and nursing facilities. Those are real numbers. I had
169
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.319
my mom in one, and not by choice. You know,
170
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.839
that's something I would have never thought that I would
171
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.759
have ever done. And you know, I like throws your
172
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.040
curve and you wind up doing that. But yeah, it
173
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.519
was twelve thousand dollars a month for us. Jay says,
174
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.600
there's a lot of people affected by this. Technically I
175
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:24.920
don't have to go out on the road, but to
176
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.839
keep a sense of normalcy, he does. Leno says a
177
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:29.800
nurse comes in twice a week to check her vitals,
178
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.480
and a dentist has regular house calls to clean her teeth.
179
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.559
Jay says, I don't know how people who are school
180
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.879
teachers or policemen or nurses who have regular jobs do.
181
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.480
And I'm glad I have the position I'm in so
182
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.799
my lifestyle doesn't change dramatically. I don't have to get
183
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.679
a reverse mortgage or anything like that. As for his
184
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.279
recent incidents, you know there's the motorcycle accident, falling down
185
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.200
a hill, whatever that was, Jay says, that's a great
186
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.480
thing about being over forty. Once a man goes over forty,
187
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.480
you can't teach him anything you never learned by your mistakes.
188
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.240
All right, let's check in on the Sydney Comedy Festival.
189
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.200
Lift pulled three comics once again and Alex Ward's show
190
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.759
is called clip Clop. Don't stop the description Alex is
191
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.840
really good at talking. She has to be because people
192
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.360
want to do it with her all the time, strangers, neighbors,
193
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.799
her parents, the gall the age says the show is
194
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.440
studded with punchlines.
195
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.240
Let's listen, okay, I want to talk about the social
196
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.240
media ban on kids in Australia. It's very divisive. I've
197
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.399
spoken to people who are for it, and I've spoken
198
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.639
to people who are against it. Interestingly, I actually don't
199
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.840
have an opinion on it because I don't have kids.
200
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:36.159
But what I do have is a mom who I
201
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.840
just spent three weeks with. And I'm just throwing it
202
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.559
out there. But if we're going to ban all people
203
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:48.879
under sixteen, yeah, I think maybe we could look at
204
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.159
some other age groups as well.
205
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.080
I like her. I think that's fun enough for a
206
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:55.600
little long to get to it, and I was going
207
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.440
to play a little more, but it takes even longer
208
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.440
to get to the second joke. But I wrote nice company,
209
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.600
which for me, the comedy snob is a high compliment.
210
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.679
I like her a lot. So that was Alex Ward.
211
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.720
Next up, Emma Holland. Emma's show is called Don't Touch
212
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.960
My Trinket. The Age gave it four stars. I think
213
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.480
they do four out of four and said Holland is
214
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.279
an expert at pulling out the rug from beneath her audiences.
215
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.440
I like this clip a lot. Let me give you
216
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.840
the visual here. She rides out onto the empty stage
217
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.360
in a scooter like you know, the stand up scooters
218
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.799
that the kids have today. And so she's on the
219
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.840
scooter and she's wearing a helmet. Takes the helmet off,
220
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.799
walks over to the microphone and we'll pick it up
221
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:34.159
from there.
222
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:39.159
Same one. He like Facebook, marketplace, A couple of fans
223
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.000
down the front. What's the best thing you've ever found
224
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:41.679
a marketplace?
225
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:43.679
A pair of earmuffs?
226
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.120
Pair of ear muffs, virgin, best thing I've ever found
227
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.720
a marketplace. Get this for a deal? Thirty dollars for
228
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.120
a treadmill. It's good, right, it's a good deal. Long
229
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.000
story short. It was a belt sander and now I'm
230
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:04.399
three centimeters shorter. But it lays I'm ripped. I'm trying
231
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:13.559
to get massive. I'll fight you count spell Emma without Mma.
232
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.399
I love her. I thought that was fantastic. Emma Holland
233
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.639
next up. And I hope my pronunciation is close here.
234
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.600
Hey Hwang Hay's show is called white Man's Burden. The
235
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.399
description are you ready to learn how to be whiter?
236
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.919
Don't worry, this is a safe space. Chinese superstar Hey Huang,
237
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.720
We're turns and character as Christopher Rice in an outrageous
238
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.159
satshire on white culture. The clip I have here is
239
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.679
not from that show, but from a traditional stand up show.
240
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.360
I found Hey to be very funny. I did have
241
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.879
to skip the first ninety seconds because the punchlines for
242
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.240
every joke in the first ninety involved F bombs, and
243
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.279
if I take the F bomb out, the joke gets castrated.
