2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.599
The Wall Street Journal profiled Louis ck under the headline
3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.039
Louis c. K doesn't need everyone to like him. And Hello,
4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.079
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Now this
5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.839
came to me from friend of the show, Scott Beckett. Now,
6
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:22.039
you're not supposed to do this at the top of
7
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:23.480
the podcast're supposed to get right to it. So I'm
8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.280
bringing all the rules here, but I got to talk
9
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.640
to your friend of the show, Scott Beckett. Scott, I
10
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.320
assume you're reading the Wall Street Journal because you're trying
11
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:32.039
to figure out how to make money. Are you not
12
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.320
paying attention to my friend? Here's how you make money.
13
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.439
You purport to be like a kind of a nice
14
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.200
guy hosting a comedy podcast. This is a long cont
15
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.439
You got to put some time to this. And then
16
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.600
what happens is someone will invite you into their football pool,
17
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.439
not knowing that they've invited a total shark who's just
18
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.000
going to bleed your wallet one hundred dollars at a
19
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.840
time every week, just taking your football pool money. That
20
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.079
is how you make money. Did you not listen to
21
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.159
the gambling ads for two years? Do you not listen
22
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.920
to me give bicks, and they're always on point. I
23
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.079
digress Louis doesn't need everyone to like him. Well, that's true.
24
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.920
C K's out plugging his new book, Ingram, which the
25
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.040
Journal says signals a new chapter for c K in
26
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.560
more ways than one. He once ranked among the world's
27
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.760
most successful stand up comedians, respected for his sku on
28
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.439
heavy topics such as religion and mortality, and elevated to
29
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.000
auteur status by his quasi autobiographical Louis and Emmy winning
30
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.200
series he wrote, produced, directed, and edited. But then in
31
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.239
twenty seventeen, his standing imploded when he confirmed allegations that
32
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.680
he had engaged in a pattern of you know stuff,
33
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.719
We've talked about it. Don't want to go there, the
34
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.719
Journal says. Since then, Seek has been living a split existence,
35
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.000
a parie to some former fans and much of the
36
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.400
corporate entertainment world, and a secret superstar, as he calls himself,
37
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.519
among the people who still flock to his show. As
38
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.000
I talked about that the other day, mainstream not going
39
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:50.719
to let him back in. Of course, the Wall Street
40
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.560
journals kind of mainstream, and yet he can probably sell
41
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.840
out the Garden, sk said on stage. I'm perfectly okay
42
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.319
with any outcome. With writing. I have thinner skin because
43
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.640
I'm not as common. The journal was curious, what are
44
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.680
you doing differently this time out? C K said, I
45
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.640
did a show at MSG almost three years ago. I
46
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.479
walked off stage and I said to myself, you don't
47
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.120
have to do it anymore. I didn't just take time off.
48
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.840
I quit and it was a beautiful clean out, and
49
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.240
I wrote this book. I took sculpture classes and painting classes.
50
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.520
I was being creative without ego because I wasn't performing.
51
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.360
And then I started thinking of jokes and making myself laugh.
52
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.400
It's like a bladder filling up. I thought, well, you
53
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:23.800
don't have to be a comedian, but you have a
54
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.680
membership to the club. So I started doing sets at
55
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.680
the Comedy Seller, just feeling what it was like on stage,
56
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.479
and it felt awfully good. When I started putting together
57
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.599
this set, I made some rules. I'd never done that before.
58
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.120
Don't charm the audience, don't make a point, don't have
59
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.159
an opinion. I'm seeing the audience more than I ever
60
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.639
did before as individuals with different faces, and I'm talking
61
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.439
directly to them. All that stuff sit for a minute
62
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.319
and look at them beyond the laugh, how they feel.
63
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.240
I also got interested in trying different energies, like there's
64
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.360
one about beating up an old lady to get her donuts,
65
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.400
and I say, I had to hurt her really bad,
66
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.960
and I try to really honestly feel remorse. Good stuff there.
67
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.719
We'll pick up that a little bit more tomorrow, and Scott,
68
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.039
thank you for setting it over and I look forward
69
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.319
to taking your money again. This Actually it's a very
70
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.479
Scott show because he's also the guy that sent over
71
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.759
this Nicki Glazer thing where she's talked to Pure Wow.
72
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.680
This was the thing from was it yesterday where she
73
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.240
was hawking the Alexa plus well. Pure Wow asked her
74
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.680
about the Golden globes and how you deal with the nerves.
75
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.000
Nicki Glazer said, I learned her breathing technique from my
76
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.719
voice coach on the Masked Singer. She taught me then
77
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.599
when a backstage and my heart is racing, I breathe
78
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.080
in for four seconds, hold it for eight and breathe out.
79
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.000
Repeat that four to five times. That slows my heart
80
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.639
rate down. And during the press, I just repeat a
81
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.360
mantra in my head that another coach gave me. I'm strong,
82
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.120
I'm prepared. This is easy. However, that mantra only works
83
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.159
if I'm actually prepared. Good question here. What's the strangest
84
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.439
thing an audience member has yelled out? Nicki said, I
85
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.080
can always see when people are recording my set when
86
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:44.759
they hold up their phones, even if they're in the dark,
87
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.960
because the light reflects off their phone cases. So I
88
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.719
often call it out in the moment, just quickly say
89
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.919
I can see you filming. Please don't thank you. In
90
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.800
ninety nine percent of the time they stop. But one
91
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.479
time this person would have put it down, so I said,
92
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.840
please stop filming. I'm serious. I can see the light
93
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.039
reflecting off your phone. Stop filming, and I'm pointing right
94
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.199
at him. He didn't stop. I was in sense, but
95
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:04.639
then my eyes adjusted to the light and I could
96
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.199
see him and it was just the glare coming off
97
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.199
his bald head. I felt so bad. He was cool
98
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.199
about it. I told him to get a case for
99
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.719
his forehead. If you're a wow, asked what's the question
100
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.599
in your search history that you really should have known
101
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.000
the answer to already? Nikki said, how old is Brad
102
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.079
Pitt's new girlfriend? As a forty one year old woman
103
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.680
in Hollywood. This should become a knowledge to me. People
104
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.879
are mad at Tim Minchin. This from The Guardian. The
105
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.120
backlash came after Tim Minchin appeared to congratulate himself for
106
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.560
not cheating on his wife. Tim was on the Inherited podcast.
107
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.959
He talked about the challenges of fame, temptation and his
108
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.519
long marriage to Sarah. We married in two thousand and two.
109
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.000
Tim said, I got myself in this situation and I
110
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.600
got very close to doing the wrong thing. There was
111
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.319
a time I don't think Sarah remind me saying this
112
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.360
where she's like, Tim, don't tell me the stuff, Just
113
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.920
do the right thing. Don't come to me with like,
114
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.600
ohmost Tim said, It's not in my nature to think
115
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:54.920
that the goal of life is to get the best
116
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.879
version of everything. I'm not someone going, well, what are
117
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.920
the imperfections of my relationship? I might be able to
118
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.279
get a better once not on Mitche did not interested
119
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.800
in trying to find a younger, smarter, hotter partner. I'm
120
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.920
interested in a nice life. We have a lovely companion.
121
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.720
People did not like that. They went on the Inherited
122
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.079
Podcast Instagram page and orde the bars on the floor
123
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.439
and Tim is praising himself for hitting it. Not cheating
124
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.319
on your partner and actually wanting to be with them
125
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.079
is the bare minimum my guy. Another said, the way
126
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.439
he talks about his wife in this is pretty demeaning.
127
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.439
I feel sorry for his wife. Imagine thinking this is praiseworthy.
128
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.480
One more nothing says I love you like I decided
129
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.279
to settle for this. I got to work with Tim
130
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.399
a few times back in the day. He was relatively
131
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.160
unknown in the States when we got to know him.
132
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.759
So I'm at the Chicago Comedy Festival a night. Was
133
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.759
absolutely blown away by how talented he is. And we
134
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.639
did Tim mentioned week up at Sirious or Serious XM.
135
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.079
I think it was pre merger at Sirius, and I
136
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.600
just had a good time celebrating his comedy. He is
137
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.959
really talented, But I don't think these social media observations
138
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.920
are insane. Charlie barns he'll have a YouTube special out
139
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.560
on December first. He brings his particular brand of Midwestern
140
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.000
nice to the Latest Hour full of stories of growing
141
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.399
up one of twelve children, sneaking beer into church, gambling
142
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.639
with Grandma, and Midwest cheap hacks. Here is a trailer
143
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:14.839
slightly edited.
144
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:20.000
Midwest chief hits are hereditary disease. My mom had twelve
145
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.639
kids and no epidural. That is either the most badass
146
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.920
thing you can do as a human being or the cheapest.
147
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.240
I'm not sure which.
148
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:31.199
Sorry.
149
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.000
I brought beer into church, not really a wine.
150
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:34.199
Guy.
151
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.639
Dalla was byob for the JC, like, that's not child labor, Lady,
152
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.079
child Labor's what made the golf bag. That's where Nike
153
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.959
got it, slogan from Just.
154
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.399
Do It So. THEO Vaughn was reflecting on his recent
155
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.800
special taping, which by all accounts, including Theo's, did not
156
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.160
go so well. THEO said, I just wanted to have
157
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.639
a little bit of more story to it, which is
158
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.920
the reason why I was trying to have a little
159
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.720
bit more feeling and emotion so I could kind of
160
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.920
have more storyline in there about growing up in life.
161
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.879
And maybe I was trying to do too much. I
162
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.079
don't know, but you start to realize that these are
163
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.959
like photo albums. Neil Brennan said to me for the show.
164
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.079
He goes, hey, this will be the last time maybe
165
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.720
you ever do this material, so go out and have
166
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.439
a great time with it, enjoy it, take your time
167
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.519
with it. These are the things that brought you close
168
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.519
to people, and it brought people out and hopefully sometimes
169
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.000
made people laugh. THEO Vaughn said, there was a thing
170
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:23.839
where I was directing in my head because I wasn't
171
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.199
getting certain information. I was like, well, if the stool
172
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.160
was here in the first taping, does it need to
173
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:29.560
be there in the second one? And where do I
174
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.959
put it when I move it? Little things like that,
175
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:32.839
And then they had five extra people though that didn't
176
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.120
need to be there. Everything was just kind of like
177
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.759
a lot. Bill Board asked Leanne Morgan about the Manosphere,
178
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.279
specifically saying the Theo Vonn's, Joe Rogan's, and Andrew Schultzes
179
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.639
of comedy. Leanne said, I don't know those boys. I
180
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.759
did meet Andrew Schultz at the Tom Brady Roast. Honestly.
181
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.120
I got to go to tom Brady's Roast, and I
182
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.240
swear I thought Gronk was flirting with me. I thought, Lord,
183
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.720
I'm my grandmother. Is Gronk flirting with me? But he wasn't.
184
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.319
He's been hit too many times. His eyes I thought
185
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:57.800
they were looking at me, but they weren't. I met
186
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.319
Shane Gillis. I never met Joe Rogan. I'll tell you,
187
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.879
I think it's so wonderful, Theovaugh, the uniqueness of that.
188
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.439
Theovonn Honey from Louisiana. I think he's so funny. I've
189
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.199
seen him live and I laughed until I was weak.
190
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.079
He talks about hamster bones. I can't even But all
191
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.160
those boys doing those podcasts, I don't listen to them.
192
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.319
I'm listening to pop culture women talking about the Real
193
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.399
Housewives and who slapped you in Salt Lake City, which
194
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.879
is terrible. I should be listening to something informative. All
195
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.519
those boys, they're a big deal, I guess, and you
196
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.800
know I love men. I was on Nate's podcast the
197
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.519
other day. We did a charity event last night. He
198
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.160
was hilarious. We talked about going to marriage counseling with
199
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.240
his wife and McDonald's. He can sit and talk about
200
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.639
McDonald's and blow your mind. I think I'm going a
201
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.360
lane by myself, even among female comedians. I'm sixty years
202
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.320
old in a grandma. All these girls doing comedy have
203
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.240
got pretty legs and short skirts, so I'm in a
204
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.120
big girdle. Oh right. The comedy festivals wrapping up again,
205
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.440
big thanks to the Flyover Comedy Festival in Saint Louis,
206
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.480
for finally a comedy festival having a website that is
207
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.519
useful where you can see things. The main show tonight
208
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.200
at seven o'clock at Tropical Decors is still say Sloan,
209
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.240
That'll put a rap on that one. So I can
210
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.720
now delete that tab and get some memory back some
211
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.559
if you want to start the New York Comedy Festival
212
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.879
Today at noon at the program NYC, it's Comedy Records Hoops,
213
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.720
or maybe it's Comedy Records Hoops. Anyway, it's comedians versus industry.
214
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.240
They apparently are playing basketball. At three o'clock it's the
215
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.480
tenth annual Hot Guy Draft, a comedy fantasy event. Comedians
216
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.600
use their expertise in the field of hotness and plenty
217
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.120
of hell from the audience to build a team of
218
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:27.360
twenty twenty five's hottest celebrities, characters and even cartoons on
219
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.360
that show. Josh Gonoman, Zach Zimmerman and Joel Nicole Johnson,
220
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.399
Jay Jorden and others. All right, that's fun. Todd Glass
221
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.600
eight o'clock, Second City. The Man can sell out New
222
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.480
York City night after night, week after week. Todd Glass
223
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.000
America's number one comedian, nobody more popular, nobody more famous.
224
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.080
It is absolutely incredible. You run the Todd glasses on
225
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.879
Jenny's agreno. I'm a fan of hers. She's at New
226
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.600
York Comedy Club at seven Louis c k at the
227
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.120
Beacon again at seven point thirty. We're going all the
228
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.279
way down to the wire. And New York Comedy Festival
229
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.720
still can't get their website together. Back to back, we
230
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.000
have the twenty twenty five Salem witch Trial at nine o'clock,
231
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.600
and then the next item on the website is the
232
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.879
twenty twenty five Salem witch Trial at nine o'clock. Secret
233
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.039
headliner at New York Comedy Club at nine fifteen, and
234
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.559
that's a rap on the New York Comedy Festival. Another
235
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.399
tab gets deleted and Johnny Mack gets a little more
236
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.159
ram and let me leave you with this awful thought
237
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:24.879
from TMZ. Bill Maher confirmed some rumors. The rumor was
238
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.039
that before filming a showback in the nineteen nineties, Bill
239
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.080
Maher would take care of himself. Nudge, nudge, know what
