Callaroga Shark Media. Okay, Niki Glazer publicist, you've earned your money. Hello,
2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:14.759
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news from The
3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.480
Hollywood Reporter, How Nicki Glazer became the new queen of
4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.079
comedy now before we even dive in, who would be
5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.879
the queen of comedy right now if not Nicki Glazer?
6
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.399
So it's not an absurd premise. She crushed at the
7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.839
roast of Tom Brady. Who would you throw up there?
8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.039
Amy Schumer, Sarah one of the SNL performers, So this
9
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.039
is not absurd. The subheadline the Tom Brady roast MVP.
10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.679
That's true and stand up comedian got the Emmy nod
11
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.200
for Someday You'll Die, which attracted the largest debut for
12
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.399
an HBO comedy special in two years. Onto the wax
13
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.799
Drop from The Hollywood Reporter, Nicki said of her special
14
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.200
Someday You'll Die, I just kind of knew it was
15
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:53.799
going to be nominated for an Emmy. I hate to
16
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.520
sound crazy, the roast was such a big moment for me,
17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.000
and my life changed overnight in terms of recognizability and
18
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.759
people knowing who I am. As for the timing, she says,
19
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:03.640
it wasn't intentional that the roast was going to give
20
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.319
this special boost. That was never planned. I mean, I'll
21
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.840
jump in. I can't argue with HBO of they're saying
22
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.719
it is the most whatever in two years. But I
23
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.159
didn't feel any buzz on that this week, despite the
24
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.519
Emmy nod, despite this Hollywood reporter, I haven't heard anybody
25
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.959
buzzing about that special. They're buzzing about the roast of
26
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.560
Tom Brady and her appearance on that. Oh yeah, absolutely,
27
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.000
as she crushed on various podcasts. Sure, but for the special,
28
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.680
I don't know. Just I didn't see it in the zeitgeist.
29
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.079
And I do do this every day. According to Glazer,
30
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.640
she'd been speaking it into existence for months. Nicki says,
31
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.760
I was really into manifestation in the fall when I
32
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.760
was putting this all together, I just kept saying, my
33
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.719
special is going to be nominated, My special that's going
34
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.680
to win an Emmy. I guess I need to win
35
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.760
to really make this manifestation happen. The material took me
36
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:48.239
a while to get to a place where it was
37
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.040
working the way I wanted to because of the nature
38
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.680
of the things I was talking about. It's not like
39
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.640
I engineered special to fit what I think people need
40
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.760
to hear. There's some gap in the cultural consciousness. In
41
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.040
previous specials, Glazer had dipped in here and there with
42
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.920
jokes about not wanting kids, and reaction to her material
43
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.480
was like, you're going to change your mind or it's
44
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.799
early if you make that kind of call. Nicki said,
45
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.039
I knew I couldn't take myself seriously about it because
46
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.120
I thought, you know, maybe I will. In the article,
47
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.080
then talks about her current confidence in comedy. I'm kind
48
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.759
of Malcolm glad willingness. I'm reaching close to those ten
49
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.599
thousand hours. What do I really want to say? The
50
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.120
subject of fertility made it into her stand up material
51
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:22.800
because it had become a hot topic on a group
52
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.439
chat with nine of her best friends, ranging from fellow
53
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.840
comedians to childhood friends. Glazer says, literally, twenty four hours
54
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.479
a day, there's someone on it that'll help you through
55
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.000
your problems. Glazier says, the women take three vacations together
56
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.800
each year. Do all nine make the vacation. That's hard
57
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.159
to coordinate. I can't get my entire family in one
58
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.039
room for dinner. One topic that kept coming up was
59
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.479
her friends wanting to have children. Nicki says she couldn't relate.
60
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.319
I'm usually on par with the wants and desires of
61
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.159
my friends that I've had for my whole life, except here,
62
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.879
I couldn't fathom why you would want kids, and I
63
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.599
just felt left out. It's the first time I've ever
64
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.840
felt like someone who is at Taylor Swift fan must
65
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.360
feel about Taylor Swift fans. Then we go again and
66
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.280
see yesterday's podcast what people say to me, I just
67
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.240
don't get it. We explained it to me. I don't
68
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.080
not explain it to those people because the feeling I
69
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.520
have about Taylor Swift is beyond words. Nicky says it
70
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.199
was hard to have those jokes about not wanting my
71
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.319
friends to have kids and have my friends see those jokes.
72
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.159
I wrote the jokes before. I told my friends that
73
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.599
though jokes are in the special, but they understand and
74
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.240
says the jokes did not affect anything in regard to
75
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.439
their friends' pregnancies. And my joke is, you have a
76
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.039
better purpose than I'll ever have. My purpose now is
77
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.639
talking to Conan O'Brien about my Libia from Variety. Ellie
78
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.280
King open up about her tumultuous relationship with her father,
79
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.919
Rob Schneider. King said of Rob Schneider, I disagree with
80
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.479
a lot of the things he says. You're talking out
81
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.879
of your ass and you're talking crap about drag and
82
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.719
you know, anti gay rights, and it's like get eft.
83
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.319
King said she was not close to her father growing
84
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.400
up and didn't connect with Rob Schneider until she was
85
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.280
much much older, when she had the opportunity to spend
86
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.000
time with Rob, who was on a movie set where
87
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.080
she would get lost in the shuffle. If I ever
88
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:53.919
messed up a shot, if I was talking, I would
89
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.919
get an effing trouble. A big source of tension between
90
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.120
King and Schneider was her appearance. King says, I I
91
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.479
was like a really really heavy child. My dad sent
92
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.120
me to fat camp, and then I got in trouble
93
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.879
one year because I sprained my ankle and didn't lose
94
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.400
any weight. I had already started getting tattooed and it
95
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:09.680
was like one hundred and eight degrees, so I had
96
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.319
to wear sweaters because my dad was very anti tattoos
97
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.360
or any form of self expression. She has no plans
98
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.199
to mend the relationship with Rob Schneider. Saying she does
99
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.319
not want to be associated with Rob Schneider. He's just
100
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.920
not nice. You can want someone to change so much.
101
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.199
You can control anyone else's actions, and you can't control
102
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.079
people's feelings. All you can control is how you act
103
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.240
and what you do with your feelings. Changing gears Triumphan,

00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.079
Vulture wrote hier Matt Berry as a twenty twenty eight
111
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.360
LA Olympics commentator. Now this made me smile because during
112
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.240
the pandemic, Vulture once a week would write an article
113
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.199
suggesting a job for Matt Berry, and I would do
114
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.879
those stories on Sunday, and it really helps kill off.
115
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.120
You know, during the pandemic, there was not all that
116
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:15.920
much news, and I was doing this seven days a week,
117
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.360
so test sometimes I had to dig deep, and I
118
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.360
remember doing that every Sunday and doing at the time
119
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.000
reasonably half asked Matt Berry impression, I'll see if it
120
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.160
comes back today. I haven't done it probably since then.
121
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.720
But Vulture writes finding celebrities won't be a challenge for
122
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.160
an Olympics happening in la but just having famous people
123
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.439
around isn't enough. You need to have the right kind
124
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.160
of famous people in LA is a town easily prone
125
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.560
to overbooking the wrong kind of famous people. LA is
126
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.360
inherent bias towards shiny, happy people risk the overrepresentation of
127
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.040
people like Paris Hilton and Mario Lopez. No, you need
128
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.920
people who are universally beloved but also interesting to see
129
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.759
because they have a mysterious, slightly dark presence. A good
130
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.399
Olympic celebrity mix inclusive choices that make viewers say what why?
131
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.240
And Matt Berry is that he's a cult icon, will
132
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.480
take off one shoe to play a scary guitar solo
133
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.439
and for a celebrity is rarely seen, and he's no
134
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.680
stranger to big events like this either. He lent his
135
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.720
voice to the London Olympics closing ceremony in twenty twelve.
136
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.439
Barry recently spoke to The Holly Reporter in which he
137
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.560
admitted something stellar. Matthew Berry said, I did an edit here.
138
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.519
I tried to do my Matt Berry. It's gone. I
139
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.879
can't do it, so I'll do it iss me. Most
140
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:22.800
of the names I pronounce in correctly are on purpose.
141
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.279
It's because I don't know what they are. Especially sports,
142
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.759
all these ballgames, baseball, softball, I haven't got a clue
143
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.000
what any of that is. Barry should be included in
144
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.519
the LA Olympics because he's a symbol of cooperation between
145
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.600
six different countries. Great Britain, which is three countries, England,
146
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.319
Scotland and Wales, Canada where you film what we do
147
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.720
in the Shadows, the United States, where that show's a hit.
148
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.519
And Estonia, a country he recently enjoyed visiting on vacation. Hey,
149
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.000
we've got a new show. It's called five Minutes of Gratitude.
150
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.480
What is it, Johnny mack Well, it's five minutes of gratitude.
151
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.879
It's in the title. You listen, it's five minutes long,
152
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.399
and they think about being grateful for things in your life.
153
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.720
It's good for your mental health, feeling good about yourself.
154
00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.439
Five minutes of gratitude. Where you get your shows. Let's
155
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.399
see he was at the Columbus Comedy Festival today, a
156
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.399
lot of shows. Let's see Wow at seven o'clock, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
157
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.920
nine shows. I would go see Irene two at the
158
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.800
Key at seven o'clock, Jim Florentine at the Attic at eight,
159
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.920
and then your ten o'clock shows, Chloe Radcliffe at the Key,
160
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.399
Alex Falcone at Seapac, Manny mckilvey at the Key, and
161
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.360
Chad the Bird at Sea Pack. So yeah, let's do
162
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.120
Irene two and then we'll do Chloe Radcliffe at ten
163
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:27.800
and then we don't have to go anywhere. We'd probably
164
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.199
grab a drink in between. The eight hundred pound Gorilla

167
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.920
March thirteenth, at twenty twenty, the King of Rants knew
168
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.920
the world around him would never be the same. There
169
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.160
was a pandemic that you hear about it. Google it.
170
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.199
It was kind of a big deal. Some people podcasts
171
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.800
had to do Matt Berry Stories every week, performed just
172
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.240
days after the country shut down. Lewis Black talks about
173
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.240
the Corona induced anxiety and his own hilarious frustration over
174
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.680
the Orange One who must not be named. Black doesn't
175
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.920
take political sides, whether he he's exposing the widespread systematic
176
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.000
failure of both parties or pinpoint any micro stupidities within
177
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.439
pop culture. Rising comedian Matt Matthews announced his Bougie on
178
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.319
a budget tour fifty two cities. That tour kicks off
179
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.199
October twenty fifth, Live Nation promoting this one. Known for
180
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.519
his relatable, situational humor, Matt Matthews discusses a variety of
181
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.720
topics and personal experiences in his stand up, including his
182
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.920
daily life of living on a farm, his career is
183
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.000
a bourgeois photographer, relationships, and more. He will also bring
184
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.679
his popular Confessions with Matt video series to the live stage,
185
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.000
where he provides a real time comedic take on audience
186
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.440
members who voluntarily spill their deepest, darkest secrets. Matt Matthews
187
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.000
still Deadline. Growing up a broke gay kid from the South,
188
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.039
I always dreamed of being a performer. But let's be real,
189
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.879
those big dreams don't typically come true. Thankfully, I decided
190
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.759
to take the risk and bet on myself as a comedian.
191
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.519
Never in my life did I imagine that I would
192
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.399
sign an incredible deal with Live Nation, got that plug in,
193
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.120
kiss the Ring for a second headlining tour. I couldn't
194
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.759
do this without the incrediblet of fans, and I'm so excited,
195
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.080
honored and humbled that so many people believe in me.
196
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.399
Can't wait to be back on that stage. Bougie on
197
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.600
a budget is going to be wild, and he spelled
198
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.559
wild with four d's chort Ole. Spoke to Katy Green.
199
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.759
She's at the Edinburgh Fringe and she picked her perfect
200
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.799
playlist of comedy favorites. Okay. First up on the perfect
201
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.080
playlist of comedy favorites is Girod Carmichael's Love at the Store.
202
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.799
Grod was the first comedian I first saw live that
203
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.480
really moved me. I'd never seen a performer be so captivating.
204
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.960
He was more than funny, he was pensive and deep
205
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.600
and he handled the crowd so well. Next up Mitch
206
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.039
Hedberg's Mitch Altogether. Do you see the hed Burg aissan's happening?
207
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.200
How often are we talking about Mitch Hedburg? All of
208
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.759
a sudden, it's happening, she says when I started comedy.
209
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.159
I didn't know much about stand up, so I used
210
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.879
to go to the library and check out comedy albums
211
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.879
on CD. That makes me sound old, but my first
212
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.399
car only had a CD player. Mitch was always my
213
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.440
favorite to listen to because he was so talented and
214
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.519
the jokes were so clever. I also like how he
215
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.240
addresses that the fact that the album's going to be
216
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.279
on CD by saying things like this will be track
217
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.200
five or this won't be good for the CD. It
218
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.600
makes it so funny. His albums are great to listen
219
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.480
to while driving. I agree he made the most everyday
220
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.120
things so funny. I never pass a broken escalator, not
221
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.840
think of an escalator can never break, It can only
222
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.120
become stairs. You know what, same thing I owe. Any
223
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.200
time I see an escalator that is not running, I
224
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.159
think of Mitch Hebberg. Also, if I'm ever at an
225
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.759
amusement park, like say Disney, and I see a frozen
226
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.360
banana stand, do you know the joke? Do you want
227
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.240
a frozen banana? No? But I might want a regular
228
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:34.519
banana later. She likes Christella Alonso's lower classy her bit
229
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.799
about Selena Kintonia being the closest thing Latinos have to do
230
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.919
a superhero is so funny because it's so true. I
231
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.639
lover her stories about growing up and I definitely look
232
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.679
up to her. Azizin sorry, you know he was cancel
233
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.519
at one point. Aziz is a Modern Romance. I know
234
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.799
this is a book, but I do like to read,
235
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.679
so I'll put it in my playlist. Modern Romance is
236
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.279
probably my favorite book about dating, and trust me, I've
237
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.440
read a lot dating advice from Azazin. Sorry, that's interesting.
238
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.399
Move on. And also on her list is Bob's Burgers.
239
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.399
She says, I love Bob's Burgers. My guilty pleasure is
240
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.360
watching Bob's Burgers while eating a burger. See now, this
241
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.320
whole list is fake because listener, especially for you, I'm
242
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.279
gonna ask you two questions. One, have you ever actually
243
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.519
seen Bob's Burgers? You haven't. I know you've seen primos,
