00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.439
Caalarogus, Shark Media Boom. Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News.

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.839
Jim Jeffries rejects the suggestion that he hates women. Jim says,

3
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.640
I don't believe I'm a misogynist. No, but that's you know,

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.120
that's probably what a misogynist would say. I'd rather this

5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.800
be part of an interview. This was with Rolling Stone Australia,

6
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.160
New Zealand, when people could actually hear me talk then

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.120
read what I'm saying, or have some idiot in a

8
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.760
basement recording a podcast read the words from a transcript

9
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.799
from what Jim actually said. Why would we do that?

10
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.520
That's dumb, Jim says, But look, you never watched a

11
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.759
female comic go on stage about some guy they had

12
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.520
sex with, who had a little member who didn't make

13
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.520
them finish. I've cleaned that sentence up three times and thought,

14
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.320
how dare she? Right now? If I were to make

15
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.920
a joke about some women's general tillia being too large

16
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.079
and me not finishing, I'm the worst man in the world.

17
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.960
Right There's no difference between those two jokes. There just isn't.

18
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.000
But do you believe that that woman when she makes

19
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.759
the joke hates men. No, you don't think that she

20
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:00.840
hates men like you know, I don't. Women are half

21
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.679
the population. I'm gonna make jokes about them. I do

22
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.760
self deprecating comedy all the time where I make jokes

23
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.480
about myself. Oh, I guess you could make an argument

24
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.200
that I hate myself. He discusses his mother. She was

25
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.319
a hard person to grow up with. She was physically

26
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.200
very abusive and verbally a very abusive person. So sometimes

27
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.200
I imagine I've had a chip on my shoulder about women,

28
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.319
and it's probably been unfair for much of my life

29
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.599
because my abuser was a three hundred pound woman growing up,

30
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.319
you know what I mean. So that's where this might

31
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.560
come from. Now, if you were here a female comic

32
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.719
in an interview say their father was abusive and belittled

33
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.640
them and was physically abusive and all this type of stuff,

34
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.599
and then they said something about how men are, you

35
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.040
wouldn't begrudge them. You can see where that's coming from.

36
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.040
But for some reason, there's no gray are with this

37
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.280
that you can't see where I'm coming from? Or why

38
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:39.760
is this the one subject where you don't know that

39
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.719
I'm joking? Jim are there any jokes you do regret,

40
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.840
he says. One in his twenty sixteen Netflix special Freedom,

41
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.879
he took aim at Jenny McCarthy and her son, Prison

42
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.719
made a joke about whether or not the son was

43
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.079
autistic or just Jenny McCarthy's son. Jim says, I was

44
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.200
more doing it because she was an anti vax person

45
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.640
and I thought which she was doing is very detrimental

46
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.120
to the world, and I felt like she was a

47
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.959
person who was more of a hindrance on the planet

48
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.000
than anything. So I made a joke about her child

49
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.080
as a parent. Now I'm deeply sorry I did that.

50
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.159
I shouldn't have done that. Maria Bamford has a book out.

51
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.120
She and her husband, the artist Scott Marvel Cassidy, have

52
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.759
collaborated on Hodge Book and Laser Eyes, a graphic novel.

53
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.240
It describes their relationship from the perspective of their dogs.

54
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.080
Maria Bamford told The Express News, it's a beautiful sort

55
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:26.800
of a memorial to all the dogs that we've had

56
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.960
over the course of our relationship and how they supported us.

57
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.560
Max was a marine and then he got into private

58
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.400
detective work and that's why he did the perimeter of

59
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.080
whatever room he was in. He'd go around the perimeter

60
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.240
and make sure everything was safe. Then there were Arnold

61
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.159
and Betty. They were a bonded bear and they were

62
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.280
just completely in love with each other. Maria says they've

63
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.680
typically taken in older dogs, even though it's a setup

64
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.599
for heartbreak. She says, you know they're going to pass away,

65
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.280
But I prefer an older dog because I think that's

66
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.240
what I am. I like to sit down, I like

67
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.240
to eat. Sarah Silverman spoke to NPR about her early career.

68
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.400
You may recall it Sarah did blackface at some point.

69
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.000
Sarah said, I think early on there was more character

70
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.719
in her early work and certainly was purposely racist and

71
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.800
all the ists because the character was an ignorant, arrogant person,

72
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.520
and I felt like the truth would come through that,

73
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.759
and at the time it worked. I can't imagine a

74
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.800
level of ways in which that special does not hold

75
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.120
up now. I think it would be hard to find

76
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.719
any clip that works. It's very hardcore and it does

77
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.520
not hold up in today's world. But that's also what

78
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.120
art is. You know, you watch it in two thousand

79
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:19.599
and five, and it's a very different show than when

80
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.159
you watch it in twenty twenty four because you've changed,

81
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.680
because the world has changed around us. I'm absolutely not

82
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.319
proud of a lot of things in it looking back

83
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.240
at it today, but I accept that that's what it

84
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.759
is to be an artist who's been around a long

85
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.280
time without the leeway of changing and growing. We're just

86
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.400
defined by our singular moments. The world was bigger and

87
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.719
it was way more ignorant. It's funny because the character

88
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.520
was this ignorant character that I could point to and go,

89
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.080
she doesn't understand, she says all these horrible things, but

90
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.439
it's okay because it's a character. And then really, I'm

91
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.159
super liberal blah blah blah. And then the irony was

92
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.039
that the real meat behind that was ignorant. But I

93
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.840
have to accept that because that's me. And in order

94
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.120
to grow, you have to accept that you can grow

95
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.719
and change me different than you were, and not to

96
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.680
find yourself by your most ignorant moments. Kevin neil And

97
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.639
spoke to the Union about explaining his comedic delivery, and

98
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.639
he said, it's kind of like describing how you look.

99
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.159
From what I hear, people would say that my stand

100
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.319
up is very absurd, and a lot of misdirection, and

101
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.120
I did to friends, tell me my comedy kind of

102
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.319
sneaks up on you. When I'm onto the next little

103
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.159
hunk I'm talking about. The laughter is just coming to them.

104
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.199
It's very conversational. You know what makes me laugh? Or children?

105
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.279
Children are so naive and they do things that are

106
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.360
just funny. I also like to go on the Daily

107
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.240
Dose on the Internet and they have videos of animals

108
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.360
or kids or anything. It's really funny. My laughter comes

109
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.639
from normal people doing silly things. Chicago Sun Times caught

110
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.120
up with Langston Kerman. He graduated during the Great Recession

111
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.279
and said, I ended up moving back to my mom's basement,

112
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.480
which I vowed I would never do length since now

113
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.480
thirty seven, it all felt dark to me. It was

114
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.040
so antithetical to what I had envisioned in my head.

115
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.800
I went to school, I got could grades and follow

116
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.160
the rules, and now I'm back in this life I

117
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.000
didn't want. He decided to take a risk and pursue

118
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.160
a dream. He signed up to do a comedy set

119
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.920
at an open mic at Doc Ryan's. I went up

120
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:51.720
there and I bomb for five minutes. But it was

121
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.399
the great kind of bomb that a sick person like

122
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.480
me can somehow translate as you should go do this again.

123
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.079
She keep trying. So every week I'd go up to

124
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.360
that open mic and bomb, and every week I felt

125
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.240
a little bit better about the idea of pursuing this.

126
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.600
He has a podcast called My Mamma Told Me, which

127
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.360
showcases black conspiracy theories. For example, did Bill Cosby attempt

128
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.079
to buy NBC? Does the Black Illuminati exist? Or aircraft

129
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.639
chemtrails infecting the public with chemical or biological agents. Kerman says,

130
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.000
we take a lot of pride in either of us

131
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.560
being scared of any conversation. I think conspiracy theory is

132
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.480
so important. I don't mean that we should all be

133
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.879
conspiracy theorists, but I do think the conspiracy theory is

134
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.959
sort of like the adult version of imagining and whimsy.

135
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.480
It's fascinating me to unpack where these ideas come from.

136
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.759
It is netflix special. He relays a time when a

137
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.160
student made fun of his poetry, and Kerman said, I

138
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.439
deeply resent that child. She's not a child anymore as

139
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.839
a grown person. Should I ever come across her, I

140
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.199
got smoke for her. Felippia Sparza said, I had great

141
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.360
advice one time from Paul Rodriguez because I was worried,

142
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.040
how is my comedy going to cross over? How's it

143
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.399
going to transcend to other cultures, to other nationalities, And

144
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.279
he told me don't worry about any of that. If

145
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.279
you're funny, the audience will cross over to you. It's

146
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.319
not your job to cross over to them. Deadline caught

147
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.680
up with Matt Berry. Matt, what were you doing before

148
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.439
you were an actor? Berry says, I was in the

149
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.120
London Dungeon. That The London Dungeon is a lunch in

150
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.600
tourist attraction. It's across between a museum and a live

151
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.839
performance kind of thing. During the course of the day,

152
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.439
you'd be Jack the ripper in the morning, and then

153
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.839
you'd be a judge in the afternoon, and it's hired.

154
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:10.560
You'd be doing something like twenty or thirty shows a

155
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.279
day and I loved it. It was fantastic fun, but the

156
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.240
money was horrendous, so I'd do gigs in the evening.

157
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.279
And that's how Dark Place happened. I was doing a

158
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.120
gig and Matt Holness and Richard Aoide come up to

159
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.079
me and said, we're doing a TV version of their

160
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:22.959
friend show Dark Place, and would like you to play

161
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:24.720
the Spanish doctor. In my head, I was like, well,

162
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.480
you're taking a risk there. Because I've never done any

163
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.439
TV or any company before. I haven't got a clue.

164
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.079
But obviously I didn't say that to them. I was like, yes, yes, fine,

165
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.079
because I had nothing to lose and absolutely nothing going

166
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:36.639
on at that point, so it was all to play for.

167
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.680
I just said yes to everything and turned up to rehearsal,

168
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.720
and I really enjoyed it. I didn't think i'd work

169
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.720
after Dark Place. I didn't even know whether they would

170
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.839
show the whole series, and I wasn't convinced it was

171
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.639
actually going to air until the first night when it did,

172
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.000
and no one believed I was going to be on TV.

173
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.160
I told people, including my family, said I'm going to

174
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.399
be on TV next month. It wasn't until the adverts

175
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.839
came on. I was in one of those adverts that

176
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.480
everybody realized it wasn't full of stuff. Deadline asked about

177
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.720
the origin of Toast of Lunch and which is a

178
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.319
fantastic show if you've never seen it, Barry said, I've

179
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.040
always wanted to do it because I've been doing voiceovers

180
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.759
for years and years with older actors seeing how they

181
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.680
behave just finding it very, very funny. I knew there

182
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.759
was something there, so I wrote all ideas for it,

183
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.800
his name and everything, and then spoke to Arthur Matthews.

184
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.120
Because I wasn't successful enough for anyone to say, yeah,

185
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.000
he's written this, let's make it a series. I needed

186
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.079
help in the form of Arthur. And Arthur's still the

187
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.879
best of what he does. The character Toast. He's pompous

188
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.920
and he thinks that better things should be happening to him.

189
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:26.759
There's a never ending supply of things you can do

190
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.720
to put him back in his place each time. But

191
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.920
it's just fantastic to play because it's not set in

192
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.879
any particular time and as a foot in the seventies

193
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.759
and in the modern day, so we're not limited to

194
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.839
what we can do. A bit like Shadows, those characters

195
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.439
are in their own world and they can do anything.

196
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.000
Will there'd be more, he said, Well, I did Toast

197
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.040
of tinsel Down the fourth series where he went to Hollywood,

198
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.279
and if you've seen that, you'll know what happened to

199
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.240
him at the end. I don't know. I'm happy with it.

200
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.000
I did everything with it that I wanted to do.

201
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.079
Vulture as their list of the comedians you should know

202
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.519
and will know. One of those comedians is young Me Meyer.

203
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.240
Young Me, if you were immortalized as a cartoon character,

204
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.639
what we were outfit be? She said, I already wear a

205
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.360
cartoon character outfit aka the same outfit every day, hot

206
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.439
pink tennis skirt, mesh crop top, pink bra. It's giving

207
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.079
dumb bitch cartoon character that f's up everything and think

208
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.160
she's the main character. And she sort of is, but

209
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.079
in a villain adjacent way. Vibes worst show ever. Once

210
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.839
I did a show at a Jewish retirement home in

211
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.240
upstate New York. I had to get a ride with

212
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:18.759
the other comedians in the lineup. We got there and

213
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.959
the show took place in a fluorescently lit dining hall

214
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.040
during their dinner at four pm. When I got on stage,

215
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:24.759
I started off by saying, so I'm a single mom,

216
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.680
and this ninety year old grandma on the back just

217
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.279
yelled boo and did a double thumbs down. I don't

218
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.039
really remember anything after that. I just slowly walked off stage,

219
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:33.879
like what could I even do to recover from a

220
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.360
double thumbs down? Nothing? Writing process. I cannot write jokes

221
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.080
while sitting down at a computer at nine am with

222
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:40.759
a cup of coffee. No matter how hard I try.

223
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.000
In the beginning, I would set aside writing jokes time.

224
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:44.840
I just can't write jokes in that way. The only

225
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:46.879
way I can write jokes is on stage. There was

226
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.879
literally a two year period where I just stopped doing

227
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.639
bits on stage when just riff By going up with

228
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.720
zero material was horrible. But now I feel like I

229
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.720
can do bits and they're more dynamic and fluid. I

230
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.279
think joke telling has to be sort of spontaneous for me.

231
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.320
There's something about being pushed into a hairy situation that

232
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.080
makes me funny in a way that I can't, for

233
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.279
the life of me, pre plan any financial hurdles. The

234
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.000
biggest financial hurdle since becoming a comedian is becoming a comedian.

235
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.080
I am so broke. OMG. I have to say that

236
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.480
I was talking to my friend who was a normal

237
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.159
nine to five job that she hates, and she's also broke.

238
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.600
We all have to get side whustles as uber drivers

239
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.519
and restaurants servers or anyway, so why not do our

240
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.720
dream jobs on the side too. Best comedy advice was

241
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.440
for my friend who told me just post anything I

242
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.240
thought was funny, and not to be too precious about

243
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.600
it or to think about it too much. He also

244
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.240
told me not to post or act on social media

245
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.759
in a way to game the system, and always keep

246
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.159
true to what I thought was funny. Worst comedy advice

247
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.440
I've ever seen was when some old stand up comedians

248
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.559
told me to focus only on standout, never get into

249
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.399
doing online content because it will kill my live performances.

250
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.519
Although I understand where he's coming from, truth is, in

251
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.320
this day and age, all comedians need to hone the

252
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.720
skill of making content. It's a separate language. You mean

253
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.240
good is it doesn't translate to the station, vice versa.

254
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.399
All comedians need to learn both languages. And that is

255
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.399
your comedy needs for today. If you enjoy the program,

256
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.120
tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

257
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.240
If you would like the program without commercial interruption, this

258
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:00.840
link of the show notes. Tell you how that works,

259
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:01.840
and I'll see you tomorrow.
