00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.720
Jimmy Buffett once said, looking for some peace and quiet,
3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.039
hope to see the sun again. And that's me wherever
4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.359
I am right now. That's what I'm doing because it
5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.399
is August first, which means I'm starting to panic and
6
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.839
count down the seconds until Labor Day. I have to
7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.600
get in all the summer I can. Hi, I'm Johnny
8
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.079
meck with Today's at Daily Comedy News Normal Episodes today.
9
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:31.679
I know I've been doing the deep dives in the summer,
10
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.119
but it just wasn't feeling anything. I had something sketched
11
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.439
out about Andrew Schultz and Tiovanna. I just wasn't feeling
12
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.039
either one of them. During the week, I came across
13
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.439
this clip involving Kevin Hart. It's apparently from twenty twenty five,
14
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.679
but it had never hit my radar before. He seems
15
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.679
to be on ze Way's Interview show, and I had
16
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.119
to actually verify that by running the clip through AI.
17
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.039
I just saw this clip on the internet, and where
18
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.679
is this from? When is it from? AI is telling
19
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.600
me at ze Way's show from twenty twenty five, and
20
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.480
this whole thing is weird. She goes after Kevin Hart
21
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.480
for flying private and Kevin's whole vibe is like, why
22
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.719
are you coming at me? And it's just weird because
23
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.599
for any of these shows, whether it's a big show
24
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.159
that's Tonight's show, a guy doing a podcast in his basement,
25
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.200
when you have somebody on as your guest, you're not
26
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.560
having them on to be a jerk to them, like,
27
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.040
let's just play this out. If for some reason I
28
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.319
booked Adam Sandler, now I'm not gonna hide from the things.
29
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.040
I would steer my interview to being like, dude, you're
30
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.560
a really good dramatic actor. I mean, I don't know
31
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.760
about Happy Gilmore too, dude, but like j Kelly, you
32
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.480
crushed it. That would be my vibe. I wouldn't sit
33
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.439
here and just list Adam Sandler movies and tell him
34
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.000
he sucks. He sucks, he sucks, you know what I mean.
35
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.560
So this whole clip with Kevin Hart, his face is like,
36
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.879
what is even happening? Why are you coming at me?
37
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:53.439
And I just thought it was interesting and wanted to
38
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.319
share it. So here's Kevin Hart being attacked.
39
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.159
You climate criminal.
40
00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:59.959
When was the last time you flew commercial?
41
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:01.560
Seventeen years ago?
42
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:02.159
Shut?
43
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.239
I had to get the date. I didn't want to
44
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.680
give you a false date. I had to get the
45
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.840
date right, and I said, what is the day? I
46
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.439
thought about it seventeen years ago? All of you are
47
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:23.719
complicent by the way, sick, disgusting, evil people. I don't
48
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.360
understand why that's a bad thing. What am I doing wrong?
49
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.680
Because I work during the day, so I can't fly
50
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:30.080
doing it?
51
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.400
Oh, you're the only American that works during the day. No,
52
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.599
I know. I didn't realize that Kevin Hart of Heartbeat
53
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.400
Productions got heart one hundred million on a thirty million
54
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.319
dollar budget, works during the day.
55
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.599
Excuse him? What? Yeah? Yeah, So I mean that's why,
56
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.479
because I'm my schedule and that I need a bed
57
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.879
to sleep on the plane? Where else starting going to
58
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:56.680
put the bed?
59
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.360
We've been so rich for so long.
60
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.159
I don't understand what's happening. I need a bed because
61
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:10.000
of my schedule and that I need a bed to
62
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.680
sleep on the plane. We're else starting gonna put the bed?
63
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.919
You have been so rich for so long.
64
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.000
I don't understand what's happening. Like was the what.
65
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.120
Just home following you?
66
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:25.400
What's bad about that?
67
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.039
I don't think Kevin Hort is wrong. There don't have
68
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.199
Kevin hart On to do that to him. If you
69
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.199
don't like the guys work, just don't have him on.
70
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.560
The Baltimore Sun was at the taping of Stavros Halkias special.
71
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.599
If you listened yesterday, I told you to buy some
72
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.400
Stavros in the comedy stock Market and I said I
73
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.479
had bumped the story. This is the bumped story spoilers
74
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.439
from the show, which I guess will show up in
75
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.319
the special, some Baltimore related material, and Stavros Halkias was
76
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.759
wondering why the Baltimore football team is named the Ravens,
77
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.639
and apparently he doesn't think Edgar Allan Poe is the
78
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.879
greatest hero. We were told that factually, Edgar Allan Poe
79
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.879
married his thirteen year old cousin how can he is,
80
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.039
who attended the University of Maryland told the audience his
81
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.479
tie to Baltimore is actually he's an incestuous pedophile and
82
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.720
his wife was from Baltimore, his child bride, and we
83
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.160
were like, yeah, that's what our football team is named after.
84
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.959
We don't even read. A lot of people in the
85
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:27.079
audience were wearing Baltimore gear. A lot of Ravens jerseys
86
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.680
Oriols t shirts and hats made appearances, and the Oriel
87
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.800
Bird mascot was also on hand. I was on a
88
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.240
date with my now wife at an Oriols game a
89
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.399
million years ago and the oriol Bird made fun of
90
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.959
me for having a big belly. Now, the oril Birds
91
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.279
is not wrong, but I got called fat by the
92
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.360
Oriel Bird. He was like doing a whistling thing and
93
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.399
like pointing out my wife and pointing at me, and
94
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.240
then tapped my stomach and made like a sheesh kind
95
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.720
of face. I was mocked by the Oriel Bird mascot.
96
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.079
During his set, Howkey has focused on weight loss, saying
97
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.800
he has lost seventy pounds, but said I still wear
98
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.920
a lose seventy pounds, maintain every X. That's not how
99
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:07.279
it goes. All four performances were recorded, says The Baltimore Sun.
100
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.560
Okays wore shiny red basketball shoes and a bright blue
101
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.480
tracksuit with his upper chest exposed. You had to wear
102
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.120
that outfit for all four sets so the editors could
103
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.759
put together a good special. Had a little shade, The
104
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.000
Sun writes. The sund requested an interview with Halkius. Neither
105
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.000
United Talent Agency, which represents the comic nor Live Nation,
106
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.600
which operated the shows, made him available. Okay, then otsco
107
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.800
at Cotska is getting a half hour sitcom and I
108
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.759
love her and I'm just picturing this in my head
109
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.199
and this is going to be awful. I'm sorry. Love her,
110
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.480
absolutely love her sitcom. I don't know. Plot details on
111
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.160
the show's title are being kept under wraps. But apparently
112
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:51.040
it's a vehicle for Otsgo about modern marriage. Now maybe
113
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.639
a hint here. In a recent episode of Deadlines, Comedy
114
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.120
means Business podcast, Otsgo talked about her ambition to crack
115
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.800
film and TV, citing Lucille Ball as an inspiray. I
116
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.040
don't know. Maria Bamford got profiled by The hollod reporter.
117
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.199
Maria Bamford told them the most important thing I like myself.
118
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.879
I'm proud of my work. I'm not for everyone. I'm
119
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.000
not a crowd pleaser. Talked about her own struggles. I
120
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.240
started going to alan On with the twelve step program
121
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.920
for how to deal with alcoholism because I had a
122
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.279
hard time with show business where it's we love you,
123
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.279
shut up, go away, can't remember your name. She keeps
124
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.560
doing her act to stay above water, writes the hollod
125
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.720
reporter Maria said, people have eyes on me if I
126
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.160
start talking too fast and have some crappy ideas, or
127
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.199
if I'm talking like what if I walked into a bus.
128
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.399
There's something about the communal sharing that's just great. You
129
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.879
can go see comedy or TV show and the characters
130
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.759
talk about something. You go, hey, that was crazy. We
131
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.680
just watched what If I had something like that, So
132
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.399
it's a representation of the full human experience. Interesting quote
133
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.199
here she says, if I'm not going to do well
134
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.199
at the laugh Factory at a late night spot, I'm
135
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.399
gonna tank. Oh my god, I have far too many words.
136
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.759
A lot of my act is passive aggressive. I'm not
137
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.680
clearly stating my point of view. The Guardian profiled Mary
138
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.759
Beth Burrone. She called her a Netflix special Galaxy brain
139
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.360
when of the most meaningful milestones of her career so far.
140
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.480
So many of the goalposts have changed for comedians with
141
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.759
the Internet, but the one consonant is the hour long
142
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.839
special with an esteem network or streamer. With the special,
143
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:11.959
it feels like you've achieved something pretty rare and they're
144
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.600
betting on you again. Be proud, celebrate. I don't know
145
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.800
if a Netflix special is rare these days. Not everyone
146
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.600
gets them, but you know it's not the rarest thing.
147
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.839
But yeah, be proud. Bron says comedy has become increasingly polarized.
148
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.240
There are people who want to make a cash grab,
149
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.959
or there's nothing they could do that would make their
150
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.639
audience turn against them. She was talking about the Breau
151
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.800
podcasters here. It's genius if you think about it. It's
152
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.519
creating a space where you can say anything and do
153
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.680
anything and you'll never be held accountable. The Guardian writes
154
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.439
she's particularly horrified by the rise of Andrew Schultz, the
155
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.360
self styled everyman dufus, whose flagrant podcast series cultivates them
156
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.480
a cheesemo fueled atmosphere of casual racism and sexist views,
157
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.399
and who invited Trump on for a cozy chat ahead
158
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.480
of the twenty twenty four elections. Set your letters to
159
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.879
The Guardian, maryn Set. I'd always see him Schultz at
160
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.680
the New York's Comedy Seller when I was starting out.
161
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.079
He was so funny. I literally thought he was hot.
162
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.800
I think I slid into his DMS one time. I've
163
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.560
watched him create this space where I'm like, you just
164
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.720
want to perpetuate the bigotry and the systems that have
165
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.079
benefited people that look like you all the time. I
166
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.959
guess have money is the most important thing to you.
167
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.240
That makes sense. But I have integrity, so I can
168
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.279
never do something like that. Just hard a stomach that
169
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.319
those are my coworkers. Technically nice piece about Nick Kroll
170
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.920
in the Hollywood Reporter. They tell us the first cancer
171
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.200
fundraiser Nick Kroll ever organized was for fictional dogs. The
172
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.240
benefit was called Pirate Girl Rum Presents a Rocking Beach
173
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.919
Bash to benefit cupcakes for canine cancer. It was a
174
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.120
bit on kroll Show. It made fun of a certain
175
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.799
breed of la philanthropy, where sponsorship logos, celebrity selfies, and
176
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.159
branded desserts often seemed as important as the cause itself. Well,
177
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.960
Kroll's now doing it for real. His annual Comedy Versus
178
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.480
Cancer benefit has raised more than ten million dollars for
179
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.039
blood cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which
180
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.720
is a great place. My dad passed through there a
181
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.519
million years ago, and they those people are good people.
182
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.799
Fifteen years ago, Kroll's sister in law, Na Cole, was
183
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.960
diagnosed with non Hotchkin lymphoma During treatment, she met Jennifer,
184
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:17.320
another patient. The two women became close. Jennifer's husband happened
185
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.480
to be vaguely connected to Tina Fey. So between all
186
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.720
that performers were willing to help. Kroll curates the lineup himself.
187
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.600
John mulaney has appeared multiple times, so of Birbiglia, gaff Agin,
188
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.039
Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Tina Fey, Hassan Minhaj and Brett Goldstein.
189
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.240
Steve Martin does it every year. The Hollood Reporter tells
190
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.440
us the event has a familiar rhythm their stand up
191
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.639
throughout the night, followed by an appeal for donations beyond
192
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.559
the already expensive ticket price. This year's event raised two
193
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.919
point seven million dollars. Every dollar goes directly towards blood
194
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.600
cancer research and treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
195
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.759
Krol tries to keep it casually, says, some of these
196
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.360
fundraisers shows feel a little stiff and the audience is
197
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.080
a little cold. The more you can make it feel
198
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.960
intimate and personal, the more impactful the whole thing can feel.
199
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.519
And we are into August now, So in Montreal there's
200
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.960
another comedy festival. We're told It's the Smallest Comedy Festival
201
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.279
every August for eight nights. A corner of Hurley's Irish
202
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.320
Pub Who comes host to one of Montreal's most eclectic
203
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.159
comedy festivals with stand up, trivia, music, CrowdWork, crafting, wrestling,

World's Smallest Comedy Festival that launches August tenth with World's
206
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.639
Smallest All Stars, a showcase of some Montreal comedians. Then
207
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.879
on August twelfth, it's Wednesday Night Trivia. That's what I
208
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.120
like to do in the winter. It's volleyball season. I
209
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.720
missed the guys. I haven't seen the guys. Trivia guys, Hi,
210
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.840
I know they listen. We'll be back. Last week of
211
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.559
volleyball is before Labor Day, so you see me around
212
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.039
September ninth or so. But I have volleyball, so I
213
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.159
can't go up to Montreal on a Wednesday night to
214
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.279
play trivia. I could just go to Morristown. Why would
215
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.399
I drive seven hours? The Jay and Joey Trivia Show
216
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.159
takes over the festival for night of unforgettable laughs, competition, prizes,
217
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:02.720
and questionable knowledge. We're told The festival edition features legendary
218
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.720
hosts Joey and Jay, the voices behind Montreal's most iconic
219
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.799
trivia show. Hey, trivia guys, maybe we ought to challenge
220
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:14.080
them like New Jersey versus Montreal Trivia Guy showdown. How
221
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.399
we make money doing this? How this works? I don't know.
222
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.919
We'll talk over two and a half beers a couple
223
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.440
weeks from now. And then there's Toaster on August thirteenth.
224
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.360

news on a summer Saturday. It's August first, the countdown
230
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.200
to me being depressed. The worst day in the world
231
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.679
is the Tuesday after Labor Day. That is just that
232
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.120
I'm in the tank that day. So if you're looking
233
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.519
