00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.440
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.519
Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with his daily comedy news. Now.

3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.280
You know who was that Donald Trump's Supreme Court hearing

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.239
the other day about the tariff war. You know who

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:23.000
was there in the audience, John Mullaney. All right, Why, well,

6
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.480
we're gonna find out. But what a random John Mullaney's sighting,

7
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.399
The Daily Beast reports. Fans speculated Mullaney was invited by

8
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:34.000
lawyer Neil Cattel, who was arguing on behalf of small

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.640
businesses affected by the tariffs. Mullaney had been on his

10
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.799
podcast court Side, where we learned Mullaney as a constitutional

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.320
lawn nerd. Neil said, Mullaney texts him all sorts of

12
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.560
questions about random Supreme Court cases all the time, And

13
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.119
I guess Mullaney is really into this if he was there.

14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.880
Nikki Glazer was your SNL host last night. I'll probably

15
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.119
review that on Tuesday, just to accommodate my production schedule.

16
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.240
They did release this promo leading up to it. Nicky ROAs,

17
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.959
Ashley Padilla, James Austin Johnson, and Cam Patterson. A couple

18
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.920
of notes here. I've trimmed the bleeps because the the

19
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.799
setup is that Nicky is roasting the three of them,

20
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.120
and apparently her roasts are quite vulgar, so that the

21
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.239
bleeps go on forever. So I trimmed those just for pacing.

22
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.799
I understand the pacing upsets the joke, but you don't

23
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.920
want to sit through a beap for ten seconds. There

24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.439
are also two visual jokes. I'm gonna leave them in.

25
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.519
In one, Ashley Padia throws up and the other James

26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.879
Austin Johnson dumps gas on his head. You'll get it.

27
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.400
And I think this clip also proves that camp Patterson

28
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.359
not good at Saturday Night Live. I don't get why

29
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.000
Lauren added him to the cast. And again, Louren Michaels

30
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.159
is Lorne Michaels and I'm a guy in a basement,

31
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.120
what do I know? But I still think Camp Patterson's

32
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.319
going to be one and done. Anyway, Here was the

33
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:47.959
teaser for Nicki Glazer.

34
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:48.840
So come out.

35
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.359
So great to be here, Hey, Nicki, guy, you're so

36
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:53.359
excited you're hosting.

37
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.200
It is going to be so fun.

38
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.519
So excited? Was there something else you needed or would

39
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:00.000
you roast?

40
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:00.879
No?

41
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.159
Please?

42
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:03.760
I just I don't think that's a good idea.

43
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:05.840
You don't want that. I promise you won't hurt our feeling.

44
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.159
Now I started on care tony some completely numb and side.

45
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.800
Okay, me verse me verse, right.

46
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.960
Ashley, you look like you actually look like.

47
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:20.360
Your dog's period blood. Okay, this is fun. You're right, James,

48
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.520
you nerdy little not there in Tennessee going out there

49
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:32.840
by the outdoor masthtub, get her nune okay and cav

50
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:45.039
nice sweater. Hell yeah, no, that's why you're the queen.

51
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.159
That's fine, it's good. I like this is fun. Jim

52
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.800
Gaffigan was on social media again, and as I've pointed

53
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.400
out to you, Jim Gaffigan really only comes on social

54
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.319
media when he wants to sell you something. He wants

55
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.439
to sell you some concert tickets. I have made edits

56
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:58.159
to this clip.

57
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:03.120
It's Jim gaffer and very exciting that twenty twenty six

58
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.199
shows are on sale. I'm going to New York, I'm

59
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.319
going to Saint Louis, I'm going to Denver, I'm going

60
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.080
all these places out west. I know I need a haircut,

61
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.639
and you know, I think it's cruel that like bald

62
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.639
men or men that are bald and need to get

63
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.159
a haircut, like we should get free haircuts right anyway,

64
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.280
comment below, like, follow, share, perform surgery, whatever you want

65
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.479
to do anyway.

66
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.960
Vanity Fair ask David Cross what he thinks about cancel culture.

67
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.159
The question was really about Dave Chappelle. Cross said, I

68
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.520
know I'm not stating any obvious that hasn't been stated before,

69
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.280
and it's stating the obvious, but you, Dave Chappelle, have

70
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.719
no credibility. We can't take anybody seriously who complains about

71
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.879
cancel culture while performing in a sold out arena and

72
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.000
getting tens of millions of dollars for a special that's

73
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.120
going to air all over the world. It's batently absurd.

74
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.599
So that kind of stuff's just a waste of time

75
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.319
to argue. It's like two plus two equals five or

76
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.039
black is white. It's not true. It's not a thing

77
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.680
you have been canceled. Vanity Fair ass Cross, they were

78
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.199
all the comedy had gone woke, but then Elon Musk

79
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.039
bought Twitter and declared comedy legally again, what do you

80
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.439
think of that? David Cross said, I mean, it's worth

81
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.199
the discussion, but my feeling about it is there are

82
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.680
words you can use in jokes that offend people and

83
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.639
where does the individual stand up feel comfortable with editing themselves.

84
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.639
I want to keep saying the R word. There are

85
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.920
more directly violent words that I've stopped using, So it's

86
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.720
up to the individual. There are some words I won't

87
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.000
say now just because no, I know, I've had enough discussions,

88
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.000
or I don't think it's hurting my bits to swap

89
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.639
out one word for another. But there are other words

90
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.519
like the R word, and he is saying the R

91
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.199
word in this interview that I'm like, I'm going to

92
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.959
keep using it because it's an easier, better word to

93
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.920
use in my stand ups. Again, it's up to the individual.

94
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.759
All right, David Cross, who do you think is funny

95
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.160
these days? Cross it, there's a lot of great comics

96
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.079
out there, probably a bunch I'm not even aware of.

97
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.600
As for subject matter that's funny, Everything is still funny.

98
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.079
He did not name a single name. It's not that

99
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.439
hard here. I'll go h. I find Chain Gills funny.

100
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.879
Thought about that for one second. That was the name

101
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.319
that popped to mind. I find him funny. Cross said

102
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.319
everything could be certainly funny in the right viewpoint and application.

103
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.120
I have a joke about a rape kit. I know

104
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.839
there'll be some people won't like it. I've already done it,

105
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.079
and I know there's some people that don't like it.

106
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.920
But it's a really funny, clever joke that I'm gonna

107
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.360
keep doing. So look, anything can be funny, it's just

108
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.199
the application. You're probably wondering what does Stavros halky Has

109
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.319
look for in a relationship, Well, he told g Q,

110
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.959
A sense of humor. For me, that's really what my

111
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:17.639
whole life is based around. You actually want a little

112
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.240
more push back from your girlfriend. You want her to

113
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.720
be like, shut up, you're an idiot. You also have

114
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.720
to be able to make her laugh, and you have

115
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.639
to make her laugh despite her not wanting to. That's

116
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.639
a big one. My favorite audience member is a reluctant

117
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.319
girlfriend at the start of the show becomes a fan

118
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.120
by the end of it. All right, Stavros, what do

119
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.680
you look for in a guy? Friend? Starvros said, My

120
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.720
best friends I've known since I was in Kindergarton, my

121
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.639
producer on the podcast, and my best friend he's my

122
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.639
tour manager. But every five years I tend to pick

123
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.439
up another best friend. I know they're a good person,

124
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.839
and then I can make these incredibly messed up jokes

125
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.240
with them. I don't want somebody who's racist or somebody

126
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.959
who actually doesn't think gay people should get married. I

127
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.040
thinks it's a good time to limit the right to choose.

128
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:51.360
We do have to line on the big stuff and

129
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:52.920
may be able to trust you and then do the

130
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.680
funniest jokes in the world, which are really messed up things.

131
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.439
Third Coast Reviews spoke to Gary Goldman, who said I

132
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.319
was fortunate when I did The Great to Pray to

133
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.279
have an audience that was patient and trusted me and

134
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.519
knew I was professional and thoughtful, so they would see

135
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.800
something for me that wasn't my usual show, which was

136
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.480
mainly just observations and some absurdity and some stories. Grand

137
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.360
Delinquent is probably the same amount as personal as The

138
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.480
Great Depress, But with a Great Depress I was able

139
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:16.920
to get a lot of the deeper stuff out that

140
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.160
wasn't as funny, and a documentary portion of the show,

141
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.160
so essentially I didn't have to be there when the

142
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.160
people weren't laughing. I think as a performer, you're most

143
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.600
vulnerable just being yourself doesn't have to be deep, secret

144
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.480
or private moment. It's very vulnerable to get up there

145
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.759
and say I think this is funny, and I think

146
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.800
you should think this is funny. You don't know whether

147
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.839
they're gonna laugh. But eventually you figure out whether it's

148
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.040
funny and it gets less vulnerable. But with every new audience,

149
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.120
there's always that bit of anticipation and a little bit

150
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.920
of anxiety over that, and it makes it fun. It's

151
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:41.800
like when I play basketball. If it made every shot,

152
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.600
I think I'd be happy, but in reality and probably

153
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.199
get boring. When you get into a video game or

154
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:46.600
some set of skill and it gets to the point

155
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.319
where this isn't very challenging, you lose interest. I think

156
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.040
that's the part of the trick to staying interested in

157
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.839
comedy because they're doing it thirty two years now and

158
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.360
it remains challenging. It can be humbling at times, and

159
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.160
I think that's part of the equation. And I think

160
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.759
we all know comedians have been doing the same act

161
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.759
for decades. They burn out or get bored or just

162
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.600
throwing the tannel or whatever that makes sense to me.

163
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.720
I know when I do this pod, I try and

164
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.000
mix up the subjects. You know, there were times when

165
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.680
all right, we're gonna talk about Kimmel for a week

166
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.920
or whatever. But I do try and you know, change

167
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:16.439
the tone, bring recurring bits back, rest recurring bits. I

168
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.839
try not to talk about the same comedians every day,

169
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:20.959
but when somebody's out there doing a lot of press,

170
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.639
you know, I'll talk about somebody for five days in

171
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:23.920
a row. But did you try to mix it up?

172
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.120
That makes sense to me. Roywood Junior just spoke to

173
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.399
Rolling Stone. He talked about touring the country, performing in

174
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.319
the South. Being a road comedian gives you a different

175
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.160
perspective on the voters of the country because you don't

176
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.000
see a Republican party. To see a person and they

177
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.399
voted Republican. There's a difference when you're viewing Republicans through

178
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.680
grafts and pie charts and gallopoles versus you being in

179
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.279
a comedy club on a Thursday in a red state

180
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.199
and telling jokes to voters who would never vote for

181
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.079
your interests and there being some degree of synergy and understanding.

182
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.399
It puts in a perspective that most people in this

183
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.160
country are voting to preserve themselves, and that's what politicians

184
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.600
tap to do. That's what Trump did. Trump went into

185
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.560
Middle America and looked under the rocks, found a couple

186
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.480
of votes over here, found a couple of votes over there,

187
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.120
and here we are. So Junior talked about his time

188
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.560
at The Daily Show, and he said, one of the

189
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.920
main things I learned is that there's always a third

190
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.439
side or another angle to the issue that's not being considered.

191
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.240
I'm grateful my first comedy special didn't come out until

192
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.879
after I started working there. I think also watching Trevor

193
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.959
Noah and how he did interviews with adversarial guests. You

194
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.319
seek to understand, don't necessarily seek to be right. Sometimes

195
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.319
you can talk to people into not agreeing with themselves

196
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.160
if you've got enough time to take a long enough walk.

197
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.240
He talked about hosting the White House Correspondence Dinner in

198
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.519
twenty twenty three and said it was the most stressed

199
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.839
I've been as a performer. Next to the Apollo Theater,

200
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.399
Amateur Night of the Apollo, that's the peak of anxiety.

201
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.080
Roy said, I'd take one thousand correspondents dinners before amateur

202
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.039
Night at the Apollo. That's not to be played with

203
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.480
with the Correspondent's dinner. No matter what after, room's gonna

204
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.519
love the joke. You just don't know when you don't

205
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.559
know which joke the apollo. There's a chance everyone will

206
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.639
hate your guts and unison and there's no recovery. All right,

207
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.360
Jay Leno, do you know who this is? He hosted

208
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.120
The Tonight Show for like twenty two years. Thinks you

209
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.200
know stuff about late night comedy. That guy, he's the worst.

210
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.480
You know what he's doing today? He's the Grand Marshall

211
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.200
at the Harley Davidson Love Yeah Things starts off in Glendale,

212
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.039
finishes northwest of la at Castaic Lake. It's a charity

213
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.480
ride in support of the Wounded Warrior Project and Adopt

214
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.240
the Arts. Founded in nineteen eighty four, it's raised more

215
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.399
than twenty five million dollars and Jay Leno is going

216
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.240
to be the Grand Marshal today. Jay said, I've written

217
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.240
her alongside thousand. It's a love ride for years. I'm

218
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.159
looking forward to doing it again. Cheers to making Love

219
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:22.720
Ride thirty four a memorable one.

220
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:22.919
Now.

221
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.559
I wanted to tell you about the New York Comedy Festival,

222
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.000
but their website doesn't want to load, so they're gonna

223
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.759
go second. Today I'll tell you about the three one

224
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.639
to two Comedy Festival seven o'clock today at Zany's Downtown.

225
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.799
Heather Shaw at Zany's and Rosemont. I think I've been

226
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.679
to that one. I think the Rosemont one. I'm pretty

227
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.279
sure that was a rainy like Wednesday night and it

228
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.080
was Hannibal Burris and Gaff again and Mad again. It

229
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.679
was a great show. John Deloni will be there at seven,

230
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.440
Kevin Bridges at the Riviera Theater at seven thirty, and

231
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.639
Earthquake at the vic Theater, a great venue at eight o'clock.

232
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.279
And that's a wrap on the very cool three to

233
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.000
one to two Comedy Festival. Nice job, guys. And now

234
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.759
let's see if the other website has loaded yet. It

235
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.039
has not. I might actually have to pause, but that's

236
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.759
not fun. Oh yeah, we're gonna have to do a

237
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.120
different story. It completely broke my browser. Come on near

238
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.759
Comedy Festival. All right, let's see what happens. Tell you

239
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.039
about something else. In the meantime. Sultan Kasas he's gonna

240
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.720
debut his hour long comedy special London Fog on his

241
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.799
YouTube channel today. In London Fog causes wrestles with anxiety,

242
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.759
explores the many modern pass apparently, and reflects on growing

243
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.480
up with a single immigrant mother, all while trying not

244
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.159
to let success change him. He filmed it at the

245
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.960
Neptune Theater in Seattle. He says, this is my first

246
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.559
special in the theater, which was very scary but exciting

247
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.200
at the same time. I'm really happy with how it

248
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.679
all came out. Let's try Chrome. Maybe the New York

249
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.039
Comedy Festival website will load. Oh yeah, much more responsive

250
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.559
on Chrome. Interesting not Safari fans at the New York

251
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.799
Comedy Festival. I won't read everything, but some fun shows.

252
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.360
I love the title of this one. At three o'clock

253
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.360
at Littlefield, y'all gay with Ali Clayton and Ever Maynard.

254
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.240
That's just a fun title. Ucb's The Business Casual Show

255
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.000
at the UCB at four thirty. Gotta love the early

256
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.399
shows on the weekend, right, Josh Sharp's an hour of

257
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.720
crowd working the Round at the Billhouse at four thirty.

258
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.559
Dan pool Zello is recording a live album. He's doing

259
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.840
two shows, but they're both at five o'clock. You know,

260
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.320
New York Comedy Festival. I don't think you guys really

261
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.919
scrubbed this website too well. So if you want to

262
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:21.600
see Dan, you can see him at the five o'clock

263
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:26.000
show or at the instantaneously simultaneous five o'clock show. It

264
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.480
also the website doesn't tell us where that show is.

265
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.840
All right, then late afternoon there's a bunch of people

266
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.639
you probably haven't heard of. Six o'clock. Todd Glass is

267
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:38.200
at Second City Ismo at town Hall at seven. Seven o'clock.

268
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:42.000
Genius and Poison presents the Magicians of Magic. That sounds fun.

269
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.679
That's at the hard Rock in Finance is in Brooklyn

270
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.720
at seven. But I'm scrolling down here looking for like

271
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.720
headliner headliners, and the New York Comedy Festival doesn't seem

272
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:53.440
to have that this year. Eight o'clock at New York

273
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.320
Comedy Club on four Street. Chris red like he's nice

274
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.399
and all, but is that a comedy show headliner? I'm

275
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.519
looking for, like a name. I'm scrolling down here for

276
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.440
names you would know. I guess you know Veronica Slowakoska

277
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.720
now because she's on SNL. She's a grammar sya. At

278
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.960
nine thirty, Chris Fleming spoke to the Stranger. Chris said,

279
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.480
so much of comedy survival it's like putting anything in

280
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.159
the cannon. Was it World War One when they had

281
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.799
to turn tires and a bolt or something. That's how

282
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.919
I view it. We're only given so many tools, and

283
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.840
whatever gets us through on stage, we got to use

284
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.000
and hope for the best. Chris, what's it like when

285
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.039
you perform for people that you know kind of don't

286
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.320
know the act? Chris said, Oh, it could be such

287
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.000
a bloodbath. I mean, you wouldn't believe the extremes. It

288
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.919
can literally be like burn the Witch. I had to

289
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.440
recently perform for big crowds that weren't quite my own,

290
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.679
and they wanted to kill me. They absolutely wanted to

291
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.720
kill me. It's being seen by crowds that do see

292
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.799
you so much better. I mean, trust me, you can

293
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.679
be held to completely eat it's up there, but then

294
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.399
it clarifies what you want to do. Tourist audiences, whatever

295
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.480
can navigate a lot of performances to the middle to survive.

296
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.720
I think it's better to gamble on what you truly

297
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.960
want to do and occasionally completely bomb than it's to

298
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.840
self correct to a piece people you would just see

299
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.279
at the airport. Follow up question, did it take a

300
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.360
long time to develop a thick skin? Answer? Oh, I

301
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.879
don't have a thick skin, and that's your how many

302
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:11.720
news for today, see you tomorrow.
