Nikki Glaser joked about Taylor Swift at ESPYs, Jerry Seinfeld still hung up on manliness

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:12.080
Callarogashawk Media. Hello, I'm Jenny
Mack with your daily comedy news. Oh

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.399
man, some high risk poker here. Nicki Glazer dared invoke the name of

3
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.559
Taylor Swift while performing comedy. You
gotta be careful doing that. I mean,

4
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.399
one time Joe Coy did that,
who did not go well. Nicki

5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.800
Glazer was at the SBS. Let's
listen. But I've actually been a huge

6
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.920
fan of sports ever since I first
watched Taylor Swift watch a football game.

7
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.399
It really changed my life because now
I know who Patrick Mahomes is. I

8
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.439
mean before I only knew him as
that guy in the State Farm ads and

9
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:46.359
based on his acting, I just
assumed he was the CEO's son. But

10
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:52.079
truly, it is such an honor
to present the award for Best Male Athlete.

11
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.479
The nominees include peak athletes who push
their bodies to the limit, and

12
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:04.480
also a golfer. I'm sorry,
Scotty, I do know that golfing is

13
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.280
hard. I mean there's putting,
chipping, and driving over a CoP's leg.

14
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.959
I mean, what I'm trying to
say is that nothing will stand in

15
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.200
the way of these incredible athletes in
their pursuit of greatness. I mean except

16
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.439
the Florida Panthers. But boy Connor, that must have hurt to lose a

17
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.439
game of ice hockey to a place
that doesn't even have ice. For now,

18
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.280
the only Stanley Cup Connor will get
to hold is the one his wife

19
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:40.200
asks him to grab out of the
cabinet. But let's get to it,

20
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.560
because no one is more excited to
find out the winner than me. Well

21
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.480
except for show Hayes interpreter, because
he's got a lot of money riding on

22
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.879
this so good clip there by Nikki
as she is riding high. Normally,

23
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.519
I lead off with the late night
jokes. There was one from Jimmy Fallon

24
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.359
that I think illustrates the point I
was getting into with Alex Bennett a days

25
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:01.959
ago, nine days ago on this
podcast, if you missed it, I

26
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.840
interviewed Alex Bennett, who's eighty four
years old, and Alex doesn't appreciate old

27
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.199
jokes, and I said, I
like a good old joke that's not really

28
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.000
about anything. Here's one from Jimmy
Fallon. This is what I'm talking about.

29
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.639
Joe Biden hasn't seen this many people
jump ship since he took that vacation

30
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:22.360
on the Titanic. It's funny.
Is the Titanic a tragedy? Yes?

31
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.000
From one hundred and ten years ago. Was Joe Biden on the Titanic?

32
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.719
I don't think so. I'd have
to check see the same thing there.

33
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.319
It's just a joke. It's silly. Obviously Joe Biden wasn't on the Titanic.

34
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.080
He's not that old. It's okay. You can make jokes about things

35
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.759
sometimes. That Louis c. K
documentary came out to The Washington Post didn't

36
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.840
love it. They gave it two
and a half stars out of five.

37
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.520
I believe the New York Times had
a similar mi review. Apparently the gist

38
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.520
is people aren't sure why we're dusting
this off again. The Washington Post did

39
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.400
right. Perhaps the most dismaying sentiment
in this gloomy film is delivered by an

40
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:59.240
anonymous comedy fan who apparently bought a
ticket to watch Ck perform at Madison Square

41
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.800
Garden last year. On camera,
the young man explains away his guilty pleasure,

42
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.479
saying with a shrug, everyone lives
with a certain amount of hypocrisy,

43
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.159
and this is the amount I've allocated
for myself. Wow, this thing's ninety

44
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.520
minutes I wish it were just streaming
somewhere. I would definitely watch it.

45
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.159
I don't know if I'm going to
purchase it, but it's on the video

46
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.400
on demand. Sam Morrill, did
you watch it? A special from last

47
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.919
week? That was pretty good?
Unfortunately for me. One of Sam's a

48
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.439
big comedy influences where the movies of
Adam Sandler Slam's brother, showed me Billy

49
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.159
Madison and I couldn't believe it existed. I was like, oh my god,

50
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:36.719
this was made for me. Adam
Sandler is so immature and outrageous.

51
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.800
Then you grew up and you watch
it as an adult and you love it

52
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.719
for different reasons, or you watch
it as an adult and you go,

53
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.280
I can't believe anyone likes this movie. Sam says one of the first albums

54
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.759
that I really got into was Chris
Rocks. I couldn't believe it. I

55
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.280
thought it was so thoughtful and intelligent, even at a young age. I

56
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.439
didn't get all the jokes, but
the ones I did get, I was

57
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.439
like, Wow, Rodney Dangerfield reminded
me of my grandpa, So I love

58
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.719
Rodney Daingerfield. Back to School remains
my comfort movie. Dam's first set I

59
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.719
drank four beers during my first stand
up set. I was only on stage

60
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.159
for like five minutes, so not
good. It was an open mic.

61
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.439
I had a friend come with me, and he laughed at all my jokes.

62
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.520
He was the only one laughing.
It was pretty brutal, but I

63
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.360
did feel good that I did it. I got over it. I'd go

64
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.360
into Barnes and Noble and just read
joke books and I'd be like, Okay,

65
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.639
that's how you write a joke.
I would study the structure. I

66
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.120
can make my friends laugh, but
it takes a while to figure that out

67
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.839
on stage. One of my first
jokes was my teacher told me I reminded

68
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.120
her of a young Hemingway. I
was like, why because I'm a good

69
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.399
writer, and she goes, no, you're an alcoholic who's going to kill

70
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.279
himself. That is a pretty good
joke. Sam says some of my jokes

71
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.399
stunk, but I had a couple
that were like, all right, not

72
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.720
bad. If you don't have any
stories as a kid, you haven't lived

73
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.639
life. There's nothing interesting that you're
gonna say. Friend of the show Scott

74
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.600
Beckett, who's probably very thankful that
I didn't play the Joe coy clip.

75
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.600
But there's plenty of time left in
today's podcast, Scott, and it is

76
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.720
a summer Monday, so it's possible
the show's a little short. We'll see

77
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.360
what happens here. Scott sent over
this clip of Jerry Seinfeld talking about manliness.

78
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.920
I've always wanted to be a real
man. I never may, but

79
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.839
I really thought when I was that
in that era. Again, it was

80
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:12.399
JFK, it was Muhammad Ali,
it was Sean Connery. Howard goes hell,

81
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.279
you can go all the way down
there. That's a real man going

82
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.759
to I want to be like that
someday. Well, no, I never

83
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.800
really grew up. It's that's a
I mean, you don't want to as

84
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:32.600
a comedian because it's a childish pursuit. But I miss a dominant masculinity.

85
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:39.439
Yeah, I get the toxics,
but still I like a real man.

86
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:45.319
Jason Alexander, you know him from
Seinfeld, pretty popular sitcom back in the

87
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.240
nineteen nineties. He was talking about
the George Costanza babblehead. Recently, the

88
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.560
Yankees gave out eighteen thousand of these
bobbleheads. People bugged at Jason Alexander on

89
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.519
social media about it and Jason tweeted, I'm so glad Bobblehead George was a

90
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.920
fan fit. Nope, I don't
get anything for it except joy that thirty

91
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.120
five years after putting on those glasses, people are still enjoying our work.

92
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:09.480
The show was a gift from you
to us. Thank you for keeping it

93
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.879
alive. By the way, if
you watch the early episodes of Seinfeld,

94
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.560
Jason Alexander as George Costanza is how
old? He's twenty nine? Yeah,

95
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.519
twenty nine. I also learned if
you watched the first season of Gilligan's Island

96
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:27.759
the Skipper, he's forty three.
Mister Howell, he's fifty one. I

97
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.680
could lose some weight, but compare
to all that, I look pretty good.

98
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.160
Mackpacker and Mackpacker. Andy Samberg was
on Kevin Hart's A Peacock Show,

99
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.040
which is called Heart to Heart.
I'm gonna put Heart to Heart in the

100
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.920
bobs Burgers category. Have you ever
seen Hart to Heart? And have you

101
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.720
ever met anyone who's seen Hart to
Heart? I'm sure Peacock thinks it exists,

102
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.199
and Kevin probably tells him that they
film episodes, but has anyone ever

103
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:54.120
seen this thing? Samberg said he
left Saturday Night Live in twenty twelve to

104
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.120
prioritize his physical and mental health,
telling Kevin Hart, for me, it

105
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.040
was like I can't actually endure it
any more, or physically and emotionally,

106
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.360
I was falling apart in my life. He explained that the schedule for S

107
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.079
ANDL involved working long hours to write
for the live show while making new digital

108
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.639
shorts weekly, and it became difficult
physically. It was taking a heavy toll

109
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.839
on me, and I got to
a place where I hadn't slept in seven

110
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.360
years. It's basically like four days
a week, you're not sleeping for seven

111
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.480
years. I just kind of fell
apart physically. Brad Williams spoke to Trip

112
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.160
Live and said a lot of people
ask about a comedy career, and it's

113
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.639
kind of like when someone loses a
lot of weight. Someone says, hey,

114
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.600
had you lose the weight? They
know the answer, but they're hoping

115
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.199
at the time you say, oh, I took this magical pill, woke

116
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.480
up every day, kept eating junk
food, kept not exercising, and all

117
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.879
the weight just fell off and now
I have a six pack. It's kind

118
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.360
of like that with comedy, when
people are like, had you make it

119
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.879
in comedy. They're waiting for you
to tell them. Oh. I decided

120
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.639
to be a comedian one day.
So I went down and met with the

121
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.560
vice president of show business and I
said that I'd like to be a comedian,

122
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.519
and they said, great, here
are your jokes, here your tourity.

123
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.639
It's go be funny. That's not
how it happens. It's a long

124
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.800
grind. I haven't done the international
stuff. In a minute. Over on

125
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.040
Shortal, Tim harding under the headline
you'll struggle to find a better overview of

126
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.439
what's good in the stand up right
now, Okay, let's see what's going

127
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:09.240
on. Tim headed over to the
Actually Rather Good Comedy Festival ARG stands for

128
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.879
Actually Rather Good Comedy Festival Torotal Rights. As usual, ARG gave us a

129
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.319
roadmap for the fringe, highlighting some
great new acts and building some buzz around

130
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.000
promising shows. Here's some of Tim's
favorites. Clown King John Luke Roberts is

131
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.680
putting on a retrospective this year of
all his previous shows. It wasn't my

132
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.560
favorite of his shows, but I
love when comedians mount old work, and

133
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.799
I'd love to see it happen more. I'm guessing that's more of a British

134
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:37.480
Australian thing of where you're doing more
themed hours rather than I don't know,

135
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.360
do we want to see Chris Rock
get up and do his greatest hits?

136
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.480
Maybe we do want to see Chris
Rock get up and do his greatest hits.

137
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.000
Who knows. Lou Wall really bowled
me over when I saw him for

138
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.360
the first time last year. Lou
Wall Versus the Internet was an incredibly full

139
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.720
on multi media experience. Their new
show, The bisexuals Lament is even better,

140
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.200
slowing things down to a rate where
it can now be perceived by the

141
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.919
human head and turning a genuinely horrific
sounding year into a tragic comic musical epic.

142
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:01.840
This is the most excited I have
been about a new comedian in a

143
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.960
while. All Right, Abby Wamba
made a promising the impression with their work

144
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.840
in progress. The first three minutes
of seventeen shows. What a great eye

145
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.120
concept for a debut hour. It's
such a fun way to keep the show

146
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.440
dynamic and entertaining when you're regularly switching
between my musical props and other styles of

147
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.639
stand up. Milo Edwards new show
Howard Volting Sorry to Offend once again using

148
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.440
his family history as a jumping off
point while launching into a rangy explanation of

149
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.639
the British class system and hmm,
a word I don't want to say on

150
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.840
the show. It's like say you
really enjoy something and then things get sticky

151
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.960
that trying to keep the clean Now. Yesterday I was telling you about the

152
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.480
Edinburgh Fritten shows that The Guardian was
excited about, and I realized I shouldn't

153
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.639
read twenty in a row. Some
of the shows are excited about Dan Tiernan's

154
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.440
stump. I've seen Dan's name a
few times recently. I guess the Gorilla

155
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.360
guys mentioned Dan on Saturday, didn't
They quite the debut last year from Dan,

156
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.399
whose show going under raged at Tunan's
lot in life, gay but straight,

157
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.960
seeming at odds with his sickingly nice
stepdad. A Best Newcomer nomination followed,

158
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.159
and so expectations are raised for his
follow up. John tot Hill lies

159
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.240
on a sofa, wearing zebra striped
boots and holding a rose in one hand,

160
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.919
a wineglass in the other, and
looking rice surrounded by balloons. Teacher

161
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.480
turned stand up made an impression at
last year's Fringe with an Unlike anything else.

162
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.879
Faux sermon on hedonism and transcendentdence through
history. Camp Flirty and Delighted with

163
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:37.200
Everything. John tot Hill returns with
something to do with Biblical plagues. Also

164
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.679
from short Ole, Comedy club owners
hit back after venues branded their club unclean.

165
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.720
That's right. The folks at Nottingham's
Just the ton Of Comedy Club are

166
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.879
not happy at being named the second
filthiest entertainment venue in the UK. Some

167
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:56.240
reviews on trip Advisor found that more
than one in ten visitors mentioned dirtiness in

168
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.200
the comments. The only club dirtier
is the Heaven Nightclub in London. In

169
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.679
case you're curious, some comments the
floor is so dirty that my shoes stuck

170
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.519
to it. That's half the bores
that I spent my twenties in. However,

171
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.679
that comment was left more than a
decade ago, when the club was

172
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:15.840
in another location. Club founder Daryl
Martin told Chortle, all this report shows

173
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.799
is how stupid trip Advisor is and
how you can't do anything with it,

174
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.879
even years after change has been made. Analyzing reviews from twelve years ago and

175
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.279
assuming they're relevant today is similar to
looking at photos of Britain in the seventies

176
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.600
and saying that all British people today
seem to have really long hair. Another

177
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.879
visoner mentioned, despite the toilets being
filthy and the hand dryer being broken,

178
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.759
we had a good night. And
then it's your comedy news for today.

like serial killers, don't you?
Yeah? I bet you do. Well,

185
