Caalorokashark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily
2
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.960
Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians
3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.000
in the comedy industry. We have a new trailer from
4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.320
Nicki Glazer. Nikki Special will be out on Hulu on
5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.719
April twenty fourth. In her special, Nikki Glazer delivers a
6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.160
brutally honest take on aging, beauty, and fame, confronting what
7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.119
it means to stay relevant, desirable, and real in a
8
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.000
culture that never looks away. Here's the trailer. I think
9
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.719
the material is actually better than the trailer. I think
10
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.960
they edited the trailer too tightly. Let's listen.
11
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.520
Thank you for being here, every single person in here.
12
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.560
You mean so much money to me.
13
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.280
I am cleaning up tonight.
14
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.479
I'm forty one. My career is going great now, but
15
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.520
I know eventually Hollywood is going to kick me out
16
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.120
because I'm gonna do something horrible like age Naturally, that's
17
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:09.719
me too. For women, every single woman loves good Girl,
18
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.680
and guys don't want to say it because they're like,
19
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.599
it sounds like I'm her dad, and it's like, exactly, okay,
20
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.000
just be my dad. Down on your nies. It's not
21
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.000
a good sign when you tell your therapist something and
22
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.599
they go to madge. I have sympathy for ugly people.
23
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:34.879
I see you, and I don't want to perfect go well.
24
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.840
I do wonder sometimes because of my thoughts. I'm like,
25
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.519
am I a sociopath? And then Chatchipt is like, no, queen,
26
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.000
you're perfect, and I'm like, you're my best friend.
27
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.560
Nikki was on Armchair Expert. She says having the means
28
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.200
to change your appearance can make it harder to opt out.
29
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.280
She says, I'm kind of obsessed with this thing of
30
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.799
like looking a certain way gets you stuff in life,
31
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.840
and how it's unfair if you're not just born gorgeous.
32
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.760
But then now there's this whole thing that you can
33
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.599
become gorgeous with enough money. Now I was going to editorialize,
34
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.719
and I guess I am right now that boy, that
35
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.599
sounds horrible, But Nicki Glazer continued, said, this sounds so horrible,
36
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.159
and I would hate listening to this if I were
37
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.680
not financially doing so well. But there's a burden that
38
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.479
comes with the money that you could do whatever you
39
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.520
want to look the way that you're like, I'm feeling
40
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.879
because I'm not doing the BBL and the facelift and
41
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.639
the lasers. This does not read well. Let me pull
42
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.719
the clip. I'll be right back. We got to hear
43
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.120
Nicky say this, because this does not read well. Hold on, okay,
44
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.039
I'm back. I'm sorry. I tried.
45
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:37.560
So.
46
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.639
Apple Podcasts has transcripts, but you can't search the transcript.
47
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.719
And this episode is one hour fifty four minutes. I
48
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.960
just skinned it, and I can't find the quotes to
49
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.719
let you hear Nikki say it herself, but I can
50
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.080
tell you as I scrolled through the transcript, it looks
51
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.719
like it's a pretty interesting conversation, so I'm looking forward
52
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.400
to actually listening to it. Jumping back in, and Nicki
53
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.319
said it's hard not to wonder what more she could
54
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.199
achieve if she met those beauty standards more fully. Nicki
55
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.159
Glazer said, if you were prettier, think of what you
56
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.360
could get. Because I don't think my career and my
57
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.680
success is based solely on my talent. It's based on
58
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.919
looking good on TV too. Nicki said it's unrealistic to
59
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.960
ignore how much looks matter in the industry, because it
60
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.879
works the hotter you are, the more you don't have
61
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.240
to work. That is true. I keep talking about this
62
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.000
in the podcasting industry as we all debate the video
63
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.319
podcast and all. And you're listening to me right now,
64
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.800
and I appreciate that you like it. But at the
65
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.039
end of the day, even if I like trick out
66
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.199
a set here, I'm still a fifty six year old
67
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.080
man somewhere between Troll and George Clooney reading comedy headlines.
68
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.960
It's not that visually interesting. And right now I'm wearing
69
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.280
a gray hoodie, and what kind of baseball cap am
70
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.159
I wearing today? I gotta take the headphones off to
71
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.120
tell you I'm wearing my Tigers hat that my daughter
72
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.479
got me when she visited Detroit one time. You know, so,
73
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.759
NICKI glazers a little easier on the eyes than I am,
74
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.120
especially this morning. I digress. Dan Soder will have his
75
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.000
first Netflix comedy special. He will tape it June thirteenth
76
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.800
the throck Morton Theater in San Francisco. It is SODA's
77
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.520
first full Netflix special. He did have a thirty minute
78
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.360
set on The Stand Ups in twenty seventeen. He has
79
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.479
a few other specials released on other platforms, not special
80
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.519
on Comedy Central. Son of a Gary on HBO, Dan
81
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.240
Soda on the Road on YouTube, so this is his
82
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.160
first one on Netflix. The Chronicle caught up with the
83
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.839
Gator Pete Corielly. I knew Pete pretty well. He was
84
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.040
the co host of Jim Brewer's radio show back in
85
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.800
the series XMDS. Pete hates the nickname the Gator, but
86
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.680
I'm sticking with it. Jim Brewer gave it to him
87
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.079
because Pete's got big teeth and you never know when
88
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.680
he's gonna bite you, which is just the best description
89
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.199
of the Gator. Pete said, I'm clean in the sense
90
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.120
that I don't talk about any kind of filth sexually,
91
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.319
nothing offensive like that. But I'm gonna adulto drop an
92
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.600
F bomb here and there just because I'm an adult.
93
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.000
So I'm clean in the way most people are clean.
94
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.319
But you know, I curse. What am I gonna stop?
95
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.160
It's like these comics that don't curse on stage, well,
96
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.720
they stay at home and they're stubbing their toe. They
97
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.120
just go ouch, get the bleep out of here. I
98
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.360
love Pete. Pete's fun guy, but he is the Gator.
99
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.240
He will buy you. Oh, I'll tell you a story
100
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.959
I heard from listener, Chris. Chris likes when I tell
101
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.879
the story. So we're out in Aspen and we were
102
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.040
staying at the comedy condo, so staying together. It's Me
103
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.160
Brewer and Corey Ellie. Now we all know Jim's public
104
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.839
persona back in the day as a Storner, which is accurate.
105
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.360
It's Pete also enjoys some stuff and Johnny Mack lives clean.
106
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.959
And Pete asked me to hold for him for a
107
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.000
little while and I was like, all right, you know,
108
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:29.560
I'm a cool guy. I could do that for you.
109
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.079
And then He's like, nah, I was just testing to
110
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.959
see how cool you were. So that's Pete. Love Pete.
111
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.360
He talked about Sebastian Manascalgo. Pete opens for Sebastian often,
112
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.560
especially last year on the arena tour. Coreyell He said,
113
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.199
Sebastian's fame is so beyond the podcast. It's like sometimes
114
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.439
when we're playing arenas and he posts about the podcast,
115
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:51.199
most of his fans don't even know he has one.
116
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.759
It's the exact opposite, whereas all of my fans are
117
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.959
podcast fans. When we started, he wasn't famous, but he
118
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.160
was getting popular. So doing all with him obviously put
119
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.759
eyes and ears on me, which helped me in a
120
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.959
lot of ways, because I'm not so great at self promoting.
121
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.079
It's like not my thing. But through the years and
122
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.079
the fact that we kept doing it, which is like fantastic,
123
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.120
the podcast has become so much more. It's a way
124
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.759
that we come up with bits from talking to each other,
125
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.360
and it's almost therapy. Affecting so many people in so
126
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.639
many different ways. It's kind of mind blowing. Pete will soon,
127
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.920
if he hasn't already, released a new stand up special
128
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.879
on his Patreon. He said, I'm gonna put it out
129
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:22.879
there first for free for all the loyal listeners, and
130
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.839
then I'm gonna work from there. But truth be told,
131
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.959
I didn't even shop. It's all these streamers anymore. Everyone
132
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.120
in the industry has been telling me very few people
133
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.199
watch a full special anymore. They watched the clips. So
134
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.360
the specials coming out, but more importantly, the clips will
135
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.839
start dropping like hot flies soon, the guy recently said
136
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:38.319
to me, and I thought this really summed it up.
137
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.399
Bottom line, you go see Pete Coreley do a stand
138
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.600
up comedy show. You're gonna laugh all night long, have
139
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.800
a good time, and no one's gonna be offended, Pete said.
140
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.160
I was like, oh perfect, I'll tell you people are
141
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.040
really wigged about this. Byron Allen deal at CBS sold
142
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.680
the eleven thirty and twelve thirty time slots to Byron
143
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.199
Allen for his uh what is it even called? I
144
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.639
don't even care. No one's gonna watch it and no
145
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.279
one can. CBS doesn't care. Instead of losing money at
146
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.399
eleven thirty, they'll make some money. They don't have to
147
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.879
worry about it. Byron Allen fills two hours a night.
148
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.040
Byron Allen is a smart dude. He's made a lot
149
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.079
of money in TV. He owns the Weather Channel. He
150
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.199
figured out how to make money whatever that comedy thing
151
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.199
is called. It doesn't matter who watches it. He'll turn
152
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.879
a profit on it. CBS makes some money. It's all good.
153
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.319
You don't have to watch you can hate. Has TV
154
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.759
gone to hell? Yes? Has CBS gone to hell? Yes?
155
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.680
A CBS News gone to hell? Yes? Is the country crazy? Yes?
156
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.959
So don't worry about it. Star trek Ruiner, Stephen Colbert
157
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.800
Show is ending. Watch Folin or Kimmel, or watch Letterman
158
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.199
clips on YouTube. Just don't worry about it. People, continue
159
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.959
to be upset that Louis c k is headlining the
160
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.199
Netflix as a Joke Comedy Festival, and we'll have a
161
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.600
special on Netflix. Eliza Skinner wrote a piece I will
162
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.079
use her headline, which was famous dix or just a
163
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.800
tip of the problem. Eliza writes, I don't know what
164
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:52.639
to tell you. Should I tell you about the headliner
165
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.519
who told me my breasts were too hot to be
166
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.000
funny before even set a word, Or about the host
167
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.879
of a comedy club who told the audience he'd love
168
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.480
to smell my area after I got off stage. Should
169
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.800
I tell you about the accompaniess you followed me home twice?
170
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.399
Or the comedy theater that refused to stop booking us together.
171
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.959
Because these things always seem to happen to you, Eliza,
172
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.279
Should I mention I was the only woman there? Should
173
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.839
I tell you about the friend who got shoved in
174
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:15.839
a wall by her boyfriend backstage in front of a
175
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.480
crowd of silent onlookers, Or the friend who was told
176
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.079
she was too unbangable. I'm cleaning us up to get
177
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.600
past industry speak for being promoted through the tears of
178
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.720
the clubs. Should I start with the friend who went
179
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.560
public with her domestic abuse story while her male peers
180
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:30.720
muttered about it helping her career. Or the friend who
181
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.000
has been the victim of years of targeted harassment for
182
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.799
simply talking about being a lesbian too much in her act,
183
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.320
Isa Skinner continues, I fear none of the stories matter
184
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.159
because none of them have famous penises in them. But
185
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.159
they are all part of the same, and I definitely
186
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:45.519
want you not to lend me your interest to the
187
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.919
famous penises. Look past the famous penises, They're just the
188
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.080
tip of the iceberg. Pun Fully intended. Skipping ahead, she writes,
189
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.080
I'm angry for the women we've lost and whose work
190
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.320
will never see. I'm angry with myself for every time
191
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.960
I listen when someone called another woman crazy or difficulty,
192
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.600
even though I knew it was code first she didn't
193
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.399
do what someone wanted. I'm angry about all the times
194
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.639
I've been called difficult or crazy by men who later
195
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:10.559
privately apologized while doing nothing to help repair my damage reputation.
196
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.559
I'm angry about all the things I didn't know happened.
197
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:14.279
I'm angry I have to think about this and to
198
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:15.720
fight about it, and all I want to do is
199
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.039
make jokes. Louis c k headlining the Hollywood Bowl is
200
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.879
part of the Netflix as a Joke Comedy Festival. May fifth,
201
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.679
dn n't dn't dn't dn dn't dn't dnt dn't Comedy
202
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.720
stock Market. Wait, John, what happened to the comedy stock
203
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.159
market theme? Well, dear listener, that is a great question
204
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.879
at this particular minute. Now, hopefully I have a backup
205
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.399
on the computer somewhere, but in this session that I
206
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.960
use all the time to record daily comedy news, the
207
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:47.120
track labeled stock is blank. Now I could go find
208
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.360
it and put it in, but that's not fun. This
209
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.000
is much more fun, all right, every week on the
210
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.720
Comedy stock Market. Here is how this works, and I
211
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.159
really need to do the disclaimer up front so you
212
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.840
understand how this works. Much like on the real stock market,
213
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.639
we try to find value. We buy low and we
214
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.559
sell high. Because I'm gonna have a controversial stock pick
215
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.759
in a second. Here, we buy low, we sell high,
216
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.279
we buy low. The idea is to find the value.
217
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.720
We are not saying that these people are good or bad,
218
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.840
and we are definitely not saying these are the most
219
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.799
honorable people that we've ever met. Have you figured out
220
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.240
where we're going here yet, but we're just trying to
221
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.279
find value. So I've got to sell and three buys
222
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:31.080
for you. My sell is Nicki Glazer. I think we're
223
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.519
at peak Nicki Glazer, and I just feel there's a
224
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.120
track record of the Hulu specials not being so awesome.
225
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.639
Maybe there's a little value to be found as Nikki
226
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.200
starts doing a lot of press for these next two weeks.
227
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.000
But I feel like we should sell our Niki Glazer.
228
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:49.919
If you want to scoop some up and sell it
229
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.519
in a couple of days. I don't think you're crazy,
230
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.159
but I think I'm gonna cash out on Nicki Glazer's stock.
231
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.879
And here are my buys. Do you want the awful
232
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.960
one first? Or third? Should I just get it out
233
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.200
of the way. All right, let's get it out out
234
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:04.559
of the way. We are going to buy louisk now,
235
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.840
stop throwing tomatoes at me. It's the comedy stock market.
236
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:12.039
We find value. We're at the bottom of ck and
237
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.720
Netflix has decided it's okay to bring him back in
238
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.279
the fold, and he's going to play the theater and
239
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.159
we're going to get a lot of press about him,
240
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.480
and there's gonna be think pieces saying how awesome he is.
241
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.000
There's gonna be some think pieces seeing how horrible he is,
242
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.600
and this is when you scoop up the value. So
243
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.879
we'll buy some Louis c. K. Let's also buy some
