Kevin Hart Defends Roast Controversy; Nate Bargatze’s The Breadwinner Reviewed and Nate Land Theme Park Plans

Show Notes
Transcript

Johnny Mac covers backlash to Kevin Hart’s Breakfast Club comments defending roast boundary-pushing after Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke, plus Hinchcliffe’s Kill Tony remarks about being labeled a Nazi and his response to Chelsea Handler; Nikki Glaser says roasts raise the stakes, supports ironically racist jokes only if they work, and keeps specifics private, while Matt Rife says critics should not watch roasts. The episode also discusses Nate Bargatze’s new film The Breadwinner, citing Variety’s negative review of its “incompetent dad” beats and muddled message, alongside quotes from Mandy Moore and Bargatze about making a family comedy, plus box office projections. The Wall Street Journal details plans for Bargatze’s “Nate Land” theme park near Nashville, including investors, incentives, and a 1990s mall entry concept. The “Comedy Stock Market” sells Bargatze, Chelsea Handler, and Glaser, and buys Hinchcliffe; additional notes include JFL Montreal dates, W. Kamau Bell’s new podcast Who’s With Me?, and Sam Bee’s CBC series The Ambassador.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.240
Callaroga shock media.

2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.439
Did we not do a roast of Tom Brady last year?

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.440
Do people really not understand what the roast is? Hello,

4
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.800
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I thought

5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.839
today it was going to be all about Date Berghezzi

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.760
and the Breadwinner, but Kevin Hart and people had other ideas.

7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.039
Kevin Hart went on the Breakfast Club and spoke with

8
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.000
the Charlottmage, the God and Crewe have a few clips

9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.920
from Kevin Hart himself. Here he is discussing the joke

10
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:37.479
about George Floyd.

11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.840
Yeah, the Joyce flore joke. It wasn't a tasteful joke

12
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.240
to our culture, to our audience. But our audience that's

13
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.799
watching the roast. If you're watching the roast, you get

14
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.880
why they're doing it. You get why the racial humor

15
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.719
is is on the table. Like it's not. I wasn't shocked,

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.000
Like that's what they do. Go and look at the

17
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.120
Tom Brady one, like that's what they do. It's it

18
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.959
happens every year when they do a roast. It's not new.

19
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.519
This isn't a new it's not a new agenda. It's

20
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:11.959
not a new approach to comedy.

21
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.079
Do you feel like Tony Hinchcliffe went too far when

22
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.319
he made that joke about George Woff.

23
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.879
It's Tony Hinchcliffe, Like, I don't like I don't expect less,

24
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.040
I don't expect more. I feel I feel like you're

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.359
saying going too far as the point I don't know

26
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.959
if it was, yes, I mean, that's why you're there.

27
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.120
Kevin's response did not go so well on social media.

28
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.719
When person said things can be zero percent your fault

29
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.560
and one hundred percent your responsibility. Another said wow, yeah, Kevin,

30
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.959
you lost me with this one. You could have been

31
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.519
honest and said, yes, he went too far with that joke.

32
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.920
Kevin said, Tony Hinchcliffe arguably had the best set or

33
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.280
one of the best sets. Pete Davidson had a great

34
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.159
set too.

35
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.560
But that but not even just that joke.

36
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.040
I don't like when people joke about violent tragic death.

37
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.599
I like Pete sitting and I was like, you have

38
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.480
to say, I mean Pete, Pete went. Pete had a

39
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.239
great set too. Pete had a Charlie Kurk joking Like

40
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.920
would I tell those jokes? No? But do I get

41
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.519
why they're being told? Yes, Like I'm not looking at

42
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.200
Pete crazy I'm not looking at Tony like that's what.

43
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.879
I know what you're going to do. I know your

44
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:10.919
style of comedy.

45
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.120
Kevin said, whatever the dialogue is, my rebuttal is simplicity.

46
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.800
Remove me from it. I didn't say it. If you're

47
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.840
upset that the night went on, that's a different conversation.

48
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.000
It's nothing I could do. It's a production. Tony Hinchcliff

49
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.879
discussed the roast unkilled Sony, so I'm edit's here for language.

50
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.360
Evan Hart was something else. Huh, it's the first time

51
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.680
I've been called a Nazi multiple times in just a

52
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.759
few hours. I guess that's what la writers' rooms, all

53
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:42.599
these a lot of mentally ill liberals out there that somehow,

54
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:47.759
with all these blacks and Jews and Mexicans around me,

55
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.639
I guess I'm a Nazi somehow. I guess the guy

56
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.439
that pulls names out of a bucket, giving everybody an

57
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.039
opportunity is a Nazi. Isn't that something? And I got

58
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.960
called a Nazi, gay, a racist, and over again. I'm

59
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.919
none of those three things. A little fun fact, but

60
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.039
they are what they are, fat ugly black Jewish. Everything

61
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.879
I said was real about them, just a reminder.

62
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.840
And Tony doesn't seem none too pleased with Chelsea Handler.

63
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.240
There's news articles because the news isn't real. Nothing is

64
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.080
real that say that I got lit up by Chelsea Handler,

65
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.199
which is very, very funny because that's not what happened

66
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.400
at all. You can't believe anything you see or read

67
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.719
on the news anymore. You have to actually watch the

68
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.400
thing for yourself. She was a bit of a coup,

69
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.759
I'll tell you that. She just kept she just kept

70
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.960
coming at me over she said, I went took the

71
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.039
Saudi Arabia money. She was like wrong about things. The

72
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.280
writers just didn't do her any justice. But then and

73
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.400
then the teleprompter. The fun fact the teleprompter h only

74
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.719
went down during my set, and and it gave me

75
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.800
a lot of opportunity to remind Chelsea Handler what she

76
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.400
looks like and where her life.

77
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.560
Is Hollywood inside her established comedian Nicki Glazer, whose career

78
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.319
was made by the Tom Brady Roost Wade in and Uh,

79
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.439
you can hear the coolness sucking out of the room

80
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.680
for Nicky Glazer, establishment comedian.

81
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.240
I loved watching it. I love anything that's like watching

82
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.519
a live comedy event. It's so the stakes are so high.

83
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.040
It's I was glad to be watching it not doing it,

84
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.519
because it's just like it's nerve wrecking and it's like

85
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.879
it really sends your nervous system through a lot of

86
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:33.800
trauma to do one of.

87
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.680
Those just got a little PTSD watching.

88
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.040
Honestly, I was like so nervous for everyone. But I

89
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.279
honestly had a great time. And you know, there was

90
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.199
some stuff that I didn't love, and there was other

91
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.920
stuff that I thought was great. You know, like people

92
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.600
have so many opinions about it, and I'm going to

93
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.720
keep my opinions to myself and just keep talking about

94
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.519
them in my group chats with by other comedian friends

95
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.240
about who what we think about it, And I'm not

96
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:54.560
gonna make a public okay.

97
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.519
But tell me who's on that group chat, what other comedian.

98
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.639
Just like the funniest people I know in town. And

99
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.399
you know, oh, just I've talked to every comedian about it.

100
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.079
Everyone's talking about and that's the good thing, you know,

101
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.480
like Netflix did a good job of making something that

102
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.879
is And the thing about like I don't believe that

103
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.560
jokes can't be made that are racist jokes, ironically racist jokes,

104
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.360
though the problem is not that it's racist. Is that

105
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.560
it's like sometimes you got to find a way. If

106
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.240
you really want to do a joke, you got to

107
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.240
find a way to make it make sense. You can't

108
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.759
just like say it and out of nowhere just be

109
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.399
like this, you know. I think that's the thing that

110
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.720
I feel like. I think that's what people are having

111
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.399
a problem with. Is not like the nature of the jokes,

112
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.199
because I do love roast for how anything can be

113
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.560
said in all all bets are off and but you

114
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.600
but that's not so easy. You have to make it palatable.

115
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.560
Matt Rife was at the ACM Awards on the red carpet.

116
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.879
He was asked, did you watch the Kevin Hart roast.

117
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.519
Matt Raife said, I didn't get a chance to the

118
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.680
entire thing, but I mean my feed is obviously filled

119
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.439
with clips from it, and I think everybody on there

120
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.759
crushed it. Dude. It was brutal, but as a roast

121
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.319
should be. The interviewer was like, but so some people

122
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.279
have complained about parts of it. Matt cut them off

123
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.000
and said, shut up, then don't watch it. It's a roast.

124
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.959
Everybody there is gonna be made fun of. It's supposed

125
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.160
to push the boundaries of all forms of comedy. For

126
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.480
a roast, it's supposed to be mean spirited, but you

127
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.279
don't actually mean it. Everyone there loves each other. Now

128
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.720
our other topic today, Nate Bergazzi's The Breadwinner is out.

129
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.839
You're probably listening to this while online. Outside the theater.

130
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.480
There's probably lines around the block. People can't get enough

131
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.160
of it. Variety has their review, their headline The Breadwinter Review.

132
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.079
Nate Berghazzi bumbles through a domestic comedy that thinks incompetent

133
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.120
dads are still funny. Spoilers The film's second echoes a

134
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.160
little like this. Nate trips on the stairs while doing laundry.

135
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.279
Nate burns the toast during breakfast. Nate crashes the car

136
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.680
while distracted during school drop off. An array of familiar

137
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.720
comedy phases clog up the film's periphery, including Colin jostas Connor,

138
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.680
the town seemingly only others stay at home, Dad and

139
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:59.920
Cameil Nanciani Jesus Peyton, a competing Toyota salesman. Both funk

140
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.120
essentially is extrastential fluff. Jose leans on his punchable persona

141
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.600
as Connor, while non Jehanny's running joke hangs on Peyton's

142
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.920
muscle bound physique. The big problem with The Breadwinner isn't

143
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.959
its sense of humor, but it's confused message. The film

144
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.920
begins with the division of labor that, however much it

145
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.439
resembles a mid century sitcom, appears to work well for

146
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.279
both Nate and Katie. So why during Nate's inevitable third

147
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.639
act moral of the story speech, does he insist that

148
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.680
his month at home has been the best of his life. Meanwhile,

149
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.959
I've been sitting on this one until today. The Wall

150
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.759
Street Journal wrote about the theme park. Now, before we

151
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.800
even get into this, I pulled some clips here. Here's

152
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.160
what people on the internet are saying about the theme

153
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:41.279
park idea. At Captain Kathleen wrote, does anybody beside Nate

154
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.040
actually want this? That's how I feel about this drink.

155
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.160
Jena Aide said, I was okay with it until he

156
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.920
named it after himself. Sorry, no, Jennifer Sturger wrote, plays

157
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.480
roller coaster Tycoon once dot dot dot Chris Ramirez Ford

158
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.079
takes some real narcissism to build your own nameland, to

159
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.120
chronicling your life. Let's see what the Journal learned lear

160
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.319
from Nate Brighetzi about this, the journal tells us. To

161
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.120
help make Nateland happen, The comedian convince his neighbor to

162
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.519
be a chief executive. Felix Vertigius was a partner at

163
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.600
consulting firm KPMG before Nate poached him. They hired a

164
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.639
lobbyist and started wooing wealthy and powerful people around Nashville

165
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:20.399
for support. They contracted with Storyland Studios, a California firm

166
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.040
filmed by a lums of Disney Universal Studios in Legoland

167
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.439
to design the park. Nate's team picked a site in

168
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.920
the Nashville metro, secured most of the land through an investor,

169
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.439
but declined to make the location public before negotiations are complete.

170
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.360
Tax incentives have been identified for the project, which has

171
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.120
state and local support. According to authorities involved, they'll start

172
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.799
raising capital this summer. All right, here's the still evolving design.

173
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.159
Are you ready for this? You're not. Visitors would enter

174
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.879
through a nineteen nineties style mall. You heard me, I

175
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.200
didn't misspeak. The area, based on Nate's local lore, would

176
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.679
include coasters and a donkey dive ride inspired by one

177
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.039
of his jokes. The New York section Ooh tell me more.

178
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.679
Would have street performers, live shows, and a ride through

179
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.000
a simulated Times Square with the New Year's eve Ball

180
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.320
drop something I can tell you, actual New Yorkers hate

181
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.279
all of those. You're taking the worst of New York

182
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.919
City and making a theme land about it. Okay. The

183
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.759
third section would have stunt performances and interactive shows. Nate

184
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.960
wants to taper down from his arena tours and hopes

185
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.639
Nate Land will switch up the transaction with audiences coming

186
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.039
to him mistake, Nate says. The win for me will

187
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.240
be when people go to Nateland and maybe don't even

188
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.159
know who Nate is. Good luck, sir. Mandy Moore is

189
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.519
the co star of what is this The Breadwinner? Yes,

190
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.279
it's called The Breadwinner, She said. I love this sort

191
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.440
of celebration of moms and mom kind of being an

192
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:42.000
entrepreneur and getting this incredibly unique opportunity in its own way.

193
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.559
It's like dad kind of switching roles and recognizing how

194
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.919
much mom really does contribute to the house and keeping

195
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.480
the ship righted. So I loved all of that. I

196
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.799
don't have that exact same experience in my life. I

197
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.799
feel like my husband's like a really good partner and

198
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.080
a great dad and could pivot and figure out things

199
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.480
in a way that I don't worry about the kids

200
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.120
or anything like that. Heate said. The movie is go

201
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.679
back to the classic family comedy movies that we all love.

202
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:04.559
I think there's a lack of entertainment that has made

203
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.440
for entire families. There are so few movies where everyone

204
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:08.879
of all ages can have a good laugh, so I

205
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.000
decided to create one myself. This is a movie with

206
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.000
characters everyone can relate to, and it gives families and

207
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.399
friends a great reason to go to a theater for

208
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.879
an excellent night out. That's not gonna happen.

209
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:19.120
Man.

210
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.480
People will watch this on streaming because he is popular

211
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.000
and it's mindless stuff you could throw on. You know, hey, wife,

212
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.840
what should we watch to night? All right, let's watch

213
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.159
this fine. It's one of those things no one will

214
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.879
love but no one will hate. Nate gets that party says,

215
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.519
you want us to have that ted Lasso effect where

216
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:35.960
it's a feel good story you can go back and

217
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.279
watch again. We're never gonna watch this movie twice, and

218
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.240
that's not happening. We're gonna watch it once on streaming.

219
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.679
Four months from now, Nate, the thing I think will

220
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:45.519
help me with movies is now that I've traveled all

221
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.399
over the country, I've done these jokes everywhere. I've got

222
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.200
a really good feeling to be like, hey, I think

223
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.120
this will work. Because I've done a version of this everywhere,

224
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.279
I kind of know what I feel like the country wants.

225
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.159
You start realizing everybody's a family, everybody goes through somewhat

226
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.799
of the same things. He discussed the difference between acting

227
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.039
and stand up comedy. Let's stand up. I very much

228
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.480
prepare what I'm going to say and how I'm gonna

229
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.360
say it, but you're doing it live and doing SNL

230
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.440
is the same aspects of doing a movie. I love

231
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:08.960
the structure of being like you got to be here

232
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:10.799
at this time, and this time you have someone telling

233
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.639
you where to go. I really enjoyed that is untitled

234
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.519
twenty nineteen TV pilot was not picked up. Nate said

235
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.559
it was very frustrating. Steve Martin would always say, you

236
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.360
gotta be undeniable that let me go down this path

237
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.919
and be a stand up comedian. I think what happened

238
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.559
with the TV show is I talk about my family

239
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.799
so much in my comedy was probably hard to recreate that.

240
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.200
I don't know if that show could have been as

241
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.080
funny as what I talk about. I was frustrated during

242
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.480
those eight years. But now, in hindsight, maybe they did

243
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.320
have a point. Box office theory thinks this movie will

244
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.480
make about sixteen million dollars this weekend high projection twenty

245
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.200
three million.

246
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.120
Comedy stock Markets.

247
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.679
Thank you, Burt Reynolds. Every week on the Comedy stock Marker,

248
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.519
we take a look at the comedians. We try to

249
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.080
find some value. Much like when you make money on stocks,

250
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.879
we try and buy and sell high. I don't feel

251
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.159
too strongly about anything this week. I'm wondering if we

252
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:10.399
should sell Nate. Is this thing gonna work? I mean,

253
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.080
part of me is scared that, like, people are gonna

254
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:14.759
go out and see this thing, But I don't know.

255
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.120
It just doesn't seem cool at all. But maybe I'm

256
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.679
a cool elitist to New Yorker sitting at a basement

257
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.399
in New Jersey. I don't know. Let's sell Nate Pergatzy.

258
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.360
We gotta be bold here. We'll sell Nate Progatzy. Let's

259
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:29.200
buy some Tony Hinchcliff. I think to use Nate's word

260
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.279
tony Hinchcliff is undeniable. I understand why some people don't

261
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.720
get it or choose to hate on Tony. But Tony's

262
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.000
just doing his kill Tony thing. He gets up on

263
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.879
the roast, he kills. He's got a money making operation.

264
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.120
It sells along just fine. Why not buy some Tony

265
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.039
Hinchcliff and then two sells? All relates to the roast.

266
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.600
Chelsea Handler is having just the worst two weeks. Chelsea

267
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.360
stopped talking the idea that a joke is worse than rape.

268
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.559
I mean, listen to yourself, it's a joke. It might

269
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.720
be the worst joke ever told. It might be the

270
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.519
most horrible thing ever said by anybody, but it was

271
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.279
still a joke worse than rape. Sell Chelsea Handler, and

272
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.000
let's sell Nicki Glazer. I just feel like all the

273
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:13.000
cool is coming off Nicki Glazer. I think we all

274
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.799
get who Nicki Glazer wants to be Amy Schumer, and

275
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:19.919
she's just going to keep going down that road. And

276
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.320
I think she's gonna shed some of the people who

277
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.480
liked her in the past that I'm not sure Nicky's

278
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.879
gotta to pick up new people to replace those that

279
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.159
she sheds. All right, So We're gonna sell Nate buy,

280
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.720
Tony sell, Chelsea sell NICKI. That is your comedy stock

281
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.360
market for today. I'm doing this one live. I haven't

282
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.720
looked at this at all at all. This was an

283
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.039
email I got the other day. JFL Montreal sent out

284
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.159
some more stuff. Let's see Ashley Gavin's gonna be a

285
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.879
clipsode on the twenty fourth. We have official dates for

286
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.080
New Faces of Comedy Stand Up July twenty second and

287
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.799
twenty third. That yep, as usual. That's a Wednesday and Thursday.

288
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.039
So if you're looking for me, I'll probably be in

289
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.519
Montreal on the Wednesday night, if not. Both New Faces

290
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:04.840
of Comedy characters on the twenty third. Oh, this is interesting.

291
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.639
New Faces of Comedy Stand Up Encore on the twenty

292
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.480
fourth and twenty fifth. Maybe I go to that and

293
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.639
then I can hang around for the free Weird Al show.

294
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.919
That might be an interesting way to do things. We've

295
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.879
also announce shows from Matty Kelly, Mark Watson, Janine Harooney

296
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.879
and some local Montreal folks. I'm looking forward to that.

297
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.759
Just back off the London. I'm still dusting myself off,

298
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.519
so I needs to plan my life a little bit.

299
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.120
W Comal Bell has another podcast. This one is called

300
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.840

Come Out. Bell's latest podcast features conversations designed to educate

302
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.120
and drive change. Belle says, when everywhere we look feels

303
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:43.799
like the powers that be want to push us apart,

304
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.600
I wanted to create a space where curiosity and empathy

305
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.039
lead the way and conversation actually moves us forward. In

306
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.120
each episode of Who's with Me, Belle will open with

307
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.879

308
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.919
don't have a guest. Guests will include Ted Danson of course,
