00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.120
Nicki Glazer has seen Taylor Swift nine
times and spoke to the Spokesman dot com

3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.679
about it. Nicki said, seeing
Taylor Swift it's part of my self care.

4
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.559
Her show's an antidepressant for me.
I feel amazing during and after her

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.600
concert, so it's worth it to
me. I've been judged by people close

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.079
to me for going to so many
shows, nine's and not a lot.

7
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.359
You know how many times I've seen
Springsteen, But some people spend this amount

8
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.520
of money on sporting events. I
go to see Taylor Swift since she brings

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.079
me the most joy in the world. Aside from my nieces and nephews.

10
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.799
Ah, they're all hooked like I
am. If you see Taylor alive,

11
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.200
once you get it, I've seen
Taylor once I get it. Nicki spent

12
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.719
fourteen thousand dollars on a front road
ticket, not me sixty bucks upper deck.

13
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.600
Glazer says it sounds crazy to spend
that much money on tickets. Yes,

14
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.799
it does, but I don't own
a home, I don't own a

15
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.960
car. I don't spend money on
my It was worth it. I was

16
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.240
in the front row. I cried. I didn't want to distract her.

17
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.719
She's okay, don't worry about it. Also, since you saw the show,

18
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.400
you know, if you're in the
front row, she was behind you

19
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.599
for ninety percent of the show.
If you didn't see Taylor last summer,

20
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.159
there's a big thing down the middle
of the stadium, and Taylor most of

21
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.040
the time is on the fifty yard
line. So I'm glad you spent fourteen

22
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.120
thousand dollars to have to turn around
and watch her from forty nine yards away.

23
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:23.840
Stop hating, Johnny mack. Nicki
said, I was in the front

24
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.239
row. I cried, but I
didn't want to distract her. I have

25
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.000
the same phone case as her,
and I didn't want her to see it.

26
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.920
You know, there's Taylor, She's
singing Karma. She sees Nicki galaza

27
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.599
they are crying, and goes,
we have the same phone. And Taylor

28
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.120
gets all distracted and messes up the
concert and goes viral. Nicki said,

29
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.400
I fall an account to know what
she owes, since it makes me feel

30
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.159
closer to her. I studied how
she plays guitar. I see how she

31
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.159
places her pinky finger over her ring
finger. When she's doing a g cord.

32
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.920
I'm so close to her that I
could see her arm hair, which

33
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.200
is beautiful. Nicki isn't sure if
she wants to meet Taylor Swift. Oh,

34
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.760
I'm pretty sure you want to meet
Taylor Swift. Come on, Nicki

35
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.599
said, I don't want her to
calm me down and say it's okay while

36
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.280
I'm shaking and I'm saying, you
mean so much to me. What I

37
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.240
love about Taylor is that she's always
present at her shows. During a concert

38
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.719
in Philadelphia, Taylor noticed a fan
being man handled by a security guard while

39
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.680
singing Bad Blood. Nicki said,
of that day, I have that scene

40
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.560
memorized from watching the video from Philadelphia. When Taylor said stop it. She

41
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.439
didn't do anything, let her go. She's so cute. She's looking out

42
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:24.960
for us. But I get it
she cares about her fans. I care

43
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.199
so much about my fans too.
My fans who come out to see me

44
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.080
and listen to my podcasts know me
like my family doesn't. Since my family

45
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.159
doesn't listen to my podcasts, I
always appreciate my fans. I'm always present.

46
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.280
Sometimes you're tired when you're performing and
you think about what you lead after

47
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.680
the show or what you travel days
next day, where somebody in this front

48
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.919
row has the same phone case as
you. But I clear my mind from

49
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.800
these thoughts and focus on the people
who support what I do. I'm like

50
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.520
Taylor in that I want my fans
who come out to my shows that of

51
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.759
the best time possible. The article
points out, if you haven't seen Nicki

52
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.240
in a few years, she doesn't
talk about sex like she used to.

53
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.759
Nicki said, I'm in my latest
thirty As I put it, sex just

54
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:01.599
is interesting to me anymore. I
don't know if it's my hormones or whatever.

55
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.560
I'm just not that titillated by it, and I've explored it enough.

56
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.879
It used to be ninety percent of
my act, but it's not that way

57
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.120
anymore. You get older, you
grow, you change, and change is

58
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.439
good. Bit News asked John Marco
Ciresi, do you think AI will come

59
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.240
for comedy. I've actually interviewed John
Marco Ciresi on this very podcast. I

60
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.360
wouldn't have gotten too that question if
I had nine hours, but John Marco

61
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.719
feeled it. Boy, I'm feisty
today. John Marco feeled it and said

62
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.639
writing jokes absolutely but live entertainment.
I think part of the energy of comedy

63
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.520
is the same reason AI won't take
over sports. There'd be no fun in

64
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.199
watching robots compete against each other.
Oh, I don't know about that at

65
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.599
all. Imagine some live version of
rock'em soccer robots, that'd be great.

66
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.840
It's about the imperfection of it all. So yeah, do I think AI

67
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.879
will write jokes? Do I think
some comedians on stage will use material written

68
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.759
by AIS? Sure? But ultimately, the thing that makes live entertainment exciting

69
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.719
is thee A living, breeding human
being is flawed trying to do something on

70
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.520
stage. That's the excitement of it. I think people were scared when all

71
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.560
those holograms of Michael Jackson going on
to where We're going to end the entertainment

72
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.080
industry. Obviously not because they didn't
because you want to see a real human

73
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.240
being up there. You want to
know they were alive before the show,

74
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.000
they're alive after the show. You
could touch them. In theory, I

75
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.400
feel really optimistic about it. Frankly, if AI starts pumping out every TV

76
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.719
show under the sun and creates a
bunch of shlock, live entertainment will just

77
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.480
thrive because it'll feel that much more
unique in the landscape. LeAnn Morgan wax

78
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.360
poetically with Forbes about being a storytellerly
and said, Honey, I don't know

79
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.839
else to do it. My parents
are both good storytellers, and my grandparents

80
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.040
were. That's just how I do
it. You know. I grew up

81
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.920
outside of Nashville, and I'd see
a lot of country music stars Minnie Pearl,

82
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.600
roy Acuff, Porter Wagoner, Dolly
Porton, probably more than comedy.

83
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.600
I always love Joan Rivers, David
Letterman, j Leno, Kevin Meaney.

84
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.240
I love them all the whole art
of it. I always wondered what if

85
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.839
I was like Jerry Seinfeld and I
could write a joke about a cotton ball?

86
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.199
Does Jerry have a joke about a
cotton ball? Now? I want

87
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.800
to see if the AI can write
one. Let's see, let's combine the

88
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:53.040
last two stories. I'm jumping on
chat gpt here write a joke in the

89
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.120
style of Jerry Seinfeld about a cotton
ball? All right? Chatchipt said,

90
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.199
why the cotton balls looks so calm
because they've already been through the spin cycle.

91
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.279
That's terrible. I asked chat gpt
for five more and it actually came

92
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:09.720
up with one. I could see
a comedian doing. Cotton Balls are amazing,

93
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.920
aren't they. They're like the only
thing in your bathroom that doesn't have

94
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.000
a purpose. Toothbrush, her teeth, soap for washing, but cotton balls

95
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.199
just sitting there, sitting pretty waiting
for a chance to be slightly useful.

96
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:23.720
A proper comedian could nail that.
Seejren Marco SORESI where worry Leon Morgan wanted

97
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.319
to be like Jerry Seinfeld telling cotton
ball jokes. She said, my set

98
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.000
is more things that have happened to
me. Leanne's got a book coming out

99
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.360
in twenty twenty four called What in
the World, And she said, let

100
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.879
me tell you. I wanted to
talk about all my sins in the eighties,

101
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.680
and my literary agent says, you
know what, You're not Joan Crawford

102
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.720
yet. So these are funny essays
to introduce me to the world, funny

103
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.720
essays about my life. It's about
me getting started selling jewelry and women's houses

104
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.480
and being married to Chuck Morgan and
the mobile home business in the foothills of

105
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.439
the Appalachian Mountains, being raised in
a town of five hundred people in a

106
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.319
farming community and telling everybody, and
I'm going to be a movie star.

107
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.680
They probably thought I was crazy.
At times, I thought I was crazy.

108
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.600
I was so cute in the eighties. I thought this was going to

109
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.600
happen for me when I was younger
and thinner. But it's okay. I

110
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.360
think that's part of God's plan that
I was supposed to go through menopause before

111
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.319
this happened. Got to raise my
children and raise them in Tennessee and there

112
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.680
who they're supposed to be. And
I think it might not have been that

113
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.839
way otherwise. And Chuck Morgan is
tickled that I'm adding to her retirement.

114
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.279
The Sioux City Journal wrote about the
openers for Shane Gillis. They went to

115
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.079
a Shane Gillis show and wrote about
the openers and they liked them. They

116
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.560
said, like his openers Lemaire Lee
and Mary Ridzinsky. Shane Gillis wasn't afraid

117
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.920
to talk about going to mcdonald'slaying high
school football and getting back on Snapchat.

118
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.959
Radzinsky went over the crowd immediately with
the joke, I don't like girl comedians

119
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.079
either. That's good. She detailed
a ten year relationship with her boyfriend her

120
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.800
joke, he says, I love
you, She says I love you more,

121
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.560
and he says probably lamiir Lee leaned
into the night's demographic, addressing characters

122
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.079
and video games cartoons in the Bible, joking it's very boring, but if

123
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.399
you read it in an African accent, it sounds like the Lion King Jesse.

124
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.120
David Fox is out doing pressed about
his new book. He caught up

125
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.560
with The Guardian, who said Fox
is hopeful about the future. He's excited

126
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.240
about the rise of stand ups like
Mitra Jahari, Brittany Carneie, Zach Zimmerman,

127
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.120
and Jay Jorden, who discussed their
complex identities and serve as a pushback

128
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.600
against the dominant form of stand up, which minimizes a comic story in favor

129
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.439
of a wall of jokes. Fox
feels the existence of this alternative group is

130
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.000
essential to the health of the medium, and Hell's work like Hannah Gatsby's in

131
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.360
the Net, which is painfully human
in earnest in contrast to what we've been

132
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.600
tought mixed comedy successful. Fox says, I think comedy benefits from a continual

133
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.240
pushback against how it's done. I
always want there to be an alternative group

134
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.839
because the truth is, mainstream comedy
tends to be a manifestation of what was

135
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.879
happening previously. Verdas told money control
dot Com. When I started as a

136
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:38.120
stand up comedian YouTube, it just
started, so access to audience was limited.

137
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.439
Right now, a new comic can
put five minutes and material on Instagram

138
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.759
and get millions of views. Earlier, he had to do a movie,

139
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.480
so the people knew your name and
come watch your show. Now there's no

140
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.120
middleman, no godfather, no marketing
agency. I get to directly reach my

141
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.600
audience, and that's the best time
to be a comic. Jess Tom spoke

142
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.839
to Autostraddel, who asked, does
your family have a Google alert for you?

143
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.439
Jess said, I don't think my
family knows what Google alert is weird

144
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.560
because they come to see my show
sometimes and my mom learns a lot about

145
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.399
me from my comedy. When I
did an earlier version of Less Lonely in

146
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:11.519
San Francisco, afterwards, my mom
immediately said TMI. The Boston Globe asked

147
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.800
Alex Edelman if you could travel anywhere
where. The answer London. It's my

148
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.959
second home. It's foreign in exoticall
at the same time. I know other

149
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.439
people there. I love it.
I can't get enough. The food and

150
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.959
the museums get the worst wrap.
The museums are awesome. Don't lecture me.

151
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.439
I also listen to stuff the British
stole, I get it, but

152
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.559
the museums are good. First place
he went after Covid Alexid, I drove

153
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.360
to Zion on Utah. I'm a
desert guy. I love slot canyons.

154
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.720
My girlfriend at the time and I
hiked the narrows together. Was just absolutely

155
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.480
wonderful. Best snack for a flight
or a road trip. Alex says,

156
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.440
butterfingers can't get enough. That's your

yard. Today's Wednesday, so I'll
go to the brewery and I'll buy a

161
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.360
beverage with it. While I played
trivia, I have finished not me my

162
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.279
team on the team, we have
finished second last two weeks in a row.

163
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.519
It's the worst run we've had.
Maybe tonight we'll turn it around.

164
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:07.440
All right, See tomorrow
