00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.759
Callaroga Shark media. I need you
guys straight. When I have nothing today,

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.359
I've got stuff. And the weekend's
pretty good too, So you know,

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.399
Memorial Day weekend. I get it. Not everybody listens, but don't

4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.199
blow off the episodes. They gotta
have nothing because they're actually pretty good.

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.280
Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily comedy News Stephen Colbert with a pretty

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.600
good joke. Earlier this week,
Trump's social media account put out a bit

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.399
of disturbing content. It was a
campaign video with a headline about a unified

8
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.439
Reich. Now, before you get
two worked up, there's a simple explanation.

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.439
Donald Trump wants to rule over a
unified Reich. I love that joke

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.759
because of the simplicity. Let me
digress here. I'm actually saving this as

11
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.119
a real topic for a Monday,
but I just shared in the Facebook group,

12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.960
which is Daily Comedy News podcast group
Joe Cooy trailer and dude, can

13
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.719
you go more than two words without
an F bomb? We'll start a discussion

14
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.840
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
Podcast group about working clean. And I'm

15
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.159
not saying you have to work clean, but I am saying don't work dirty

16
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.480
for no reason. And if you
play that Joe Cooy trailer, you'll hear

17
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.959
what I'm talking about. We'll do
that on Monday. Shane Gillis throughout the

18
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.239
first pitch at the Philadelphia Phillies game
on Wednesday, Shane said, I'm trying

19
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.239
not to be like fifty cent.
If you've ever seen it, fifty cent

20
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.079
had one of the worst ceremonial first
pitches of all time. I got one

21
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.879
day of practice in I was at
the University of Texas. I got to

22
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.120
throw from the mound a little.
NBC's John Clark asked Shane Gillis how he

23
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.760
felt leading up to the first pitch. Let's listen, you perform in front

24
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.159
of a lot of people. Yeah, Like, is that nerve racking or

25
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.040
resists? This is way more nerve
wrecked. This. It's a test,

26
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.519
my man. With that, I'm
certain I'm gonna fail. You're gonna be

27
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:49.079
fine. How cool is this?
It's awesome. This is a cool team.

28
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:57.280
I'm happy to hopefully not ambaniss myself. Good luck. Shane Gillis,

29
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.599
a south paw from Pennsylvania, threw
a strike. Congratulations OutKick saw that new

30
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.480
Shane Gillis show tires on Netflix.
I'm looking forward to it. But last

31
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.240
night I went to see The Rolling
Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are

32
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.199
eighty, by the way, which
is encouraging. I could host this thing

33
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.120
another twenty five years. I saw
my buddy Sal yesterday and he was asking

34
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.319
me where do you record from?
You go to a studio, and I'm

35
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.479
like, no, basement. USB
Mike straight in too my MacBook and he's

36
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.319
like, that's what I thought.
Sounds good. Well, thank you,

37
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.560
Sal, But yeah, I'm in
my basement. I digress all right.

38
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:34.879
OutKick talking about Tires. The headline
from OutKick, Shane Gillis's new comedy series

39
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.240
is a massive middle finger to wokeness. They write in a non spoilery way,

40
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:44.120
what I can say is that Tires
couldn't care less about what should shouldn't

41
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.439
be allowed to be joked about.
The premiere episode includes jokes about I gotta

42
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.680
clean this up, favors that you
might do for somebody you really like.

43
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.199
You know what I'm saying, nutche
nudge wink wink, say no more the

44
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.240
results you get from such a favor
nudge nudge wink only fans where you know,

45
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.919
as you know, sometimes I lock
myself in the basement and I watch

46
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.960
some comedy from Natasha la Giro.
I don't know what you think I'm doing

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.000
down here, reliving the high school
football glory days, Oude Hussein lying about

48
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.400
hooking up with women and being an
idiot. Where else can you find a

49
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.879
show with jokes about sex and the
deceased son of Saddam Hussein. That's a

50
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.840
good question. And it's a pure
R rated comedy and exactly what Shing Gills

51
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.960
fans have come to expect from him. It's absolutely everything the anti comedy woke

52
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.120
mob hates? Is there actually an
anti comedy woke mob? Does that actually

53
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.159
exist? Where? Is just like
we just write articles about it and I

54
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.560
talk about it every day, and
Chappelle does twenty minutes about it, and

55
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.439
Gervaise sweets about it, and everybody
writes articles about everyone's being canceled while Luis

56
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.520
c. K plays Madison Square Garden. Is there an anti woke well?

57
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.039
I haven't seen it. The jokes
are so edgy at times that you might

58
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.520
even feel a little uncomfortable, and
I loved every second of it. The

59
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.800
entire premise is a middle finger to
people who want to sanitize comedy Again,

60
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.800
are those those people. Or maybe
it's me because I don't want JOKOI to

61
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.479
try f bomps. Maybe I'm the
anti woke mob. Wow, I just

62
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:09.560
had a self awakening. Tires also
includes appearances from Stavros Halkias and Andrew Schultz.

63
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.719
Schultz's character immediately gets hit with pejoratives
as soon as he's introduced again.

64
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.439
The show is edgy as hell and
I love it. Speaking of Andrew,

65
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:24.120
Schultze just performed at Abu Dhabi Comedy
Week. The National News said comedian doesn't

66
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.959
hold back and uae return. They
tell us it's rare for a comedy show

67
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.720
to leave you tearing up with emotion. But that's exactly what happened when I

68
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.519
saw Andrew Schultz at Eddie Hot Arena
on Tuesday. Who's a return to the

69
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:39.600
area. Apparently Andrew had played there
in October as part of the UFC Showdown

70
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.319
Week. The writer says, back
then was the first time I'd heard of

71
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.480
Schultz. Curious to know who this
American comedian was that had sold out Eddie

72
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.879
Hot Arena. It came across a
short clip he uploaded on his YouTube channel.

73
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.199
I instantly became a fan. After
all, who wouldn't be impressed by

74
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.759
someone from the US learning and joking
about an Arabic slang used to describe teenagers

75
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.040
who hang around malls and groups.
The writer then shares that he or she

76
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.680
went to see Andrew in Boston and
then added, I was surprised to see

77
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:10.600
the same opening acts I'd watched in
the US comedians Derek posted Mark Gagnon,

78
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.360
who took the stage and warned up
the crowd while they were both entertaining.

79
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.720
I had already seen them perform the
same jokes a few months previously, making

80
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:23.160
me worry that Schultz might do the
same. You see somebody in Boston and

81
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.000
the Abu Dhabi Comedy Week and you
get the same material. I don't think

82
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.920
he could be like, what,
how could we not do it a fresh

83
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.279
set? Yeah, if you're not
going to play your hits at the Abu

84
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.759
Dhabi Comedy Week, I don't know
when you're going to This is not the

85
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.000
seller good news. The writer says, I was relieved to learn that wouldn't

86
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.680
be the case. As he stepped
down on the stage with a thin bamboo

87
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.959
stick, or as he joked,
his comicky stick, I hope I pronounced

88
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.240
that right. That is the aforementioned
that slang word about teens in malls something

89
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.519
to defend himself from these teens in
malls and keep them at bay. And

90
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.759
the two times I've now seen him
live, I'm continually impressed just how good

91
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.759
he is at what he does.
And he personalized his sets based on what

92
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.399
city he's in. He is a
seamless way of knocking out jokes in such

93
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.319
a natural way they'd already think he
was quite familiar with the region. That's

94
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.079
cool, while we're in the weeds
here. While most of his jokes were

95
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.560
hits, I did have to turn
up my partner at one point to see

96
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.639
if he understood a quip about UAE
beating Saudi Arabian football, as there seemed

97
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.480
to be some confusion, even with
Schultz seemingly asked the crowd if that was

98
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.399
true. My partner clarified that he
thought it was a reference to Al Anine

99
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:25.839
beating Alan Nassar in the AFC Champions
League a couple months ago. That's deep,

100
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.560
Andrew, that's deep. Jen Marco
Cireesi, his star is rising.

101
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.120
Picks eleven New York City are aware
of who he is now. They had

102
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.519
him on They tell us recently,
John Marco dropped a series of semi not

103
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.199
safe for work announcements for the third
leg of his Leaning into Our, which

104
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:46.079
features John Marco in various states of
censored undress with a winking, off kilter

105
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.680
approachability. It's this charming blend of
self awareness and on assuming male energy that

106
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:54.360
have made Seresi something of an internet
heart throb for countless scores of straight women

107
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.319
and gay men. I wasn't aware
of any of that. I'm neither of

108
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.839
those, and I'm a fan those
star has been on the rise for some

109
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.720
time. The leading and tour has
coincided with some recent major industry attention for

110
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.000
the host of The Downside with John
Marcos Ressi podcast. He says, I

111
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.199
was always funny leading. I always
enjoyed comedy, and I probably thrived more

112
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.399
in comedic roles than dramatic roles,
even though deep down I always wanted to

113
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.160
be like Daniel da Lewis, he
says with a wink. But then after

114
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.639
several years in New York and not
getting that much work and struggling, I

115
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.720
finally wrote a play for myself and
it just lent itself to being comedic.

116
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.160
I got very addicted to the feedback
loop of stand up comedy and stand up

117
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.959
comedy, I immediately get to find
out if something is good or bad or

118
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.560
how to make it better, and
it just sucked me. In Pixe eleven

119
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.839
says, among John Marco's strongest comedic
attributes is the loose and cutting but kind

120
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.360
way the comedian navigates awkward situations that
can evitably arise at a comedy show full

121
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.040
of drinking adults. Earlier this year, he was performing at a drag bar

122
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.240
in Ohio doing some Trump material.
A guest in the front row let her

123
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:53.000
support be known. John Marco said, there's no way you're in the front

124
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.680
row of a drag show and voting
for Trump. I don't think it's my

125
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.399
job to take a poll before the
show. Is there anyone in the audience

126
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.800
who's Republican? But you got to
ignore, especially seeing as how drag queens

127
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.879
have become the focal point for conservatives
to try and use hysteriot inside homophobia,

128
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.680
et cetera. Anyway, I could
not talk about it, so I challenged

129
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.600
her on it, and I said, how can you beat a drag show

130
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.319
when the people you're voting for would
in their fantasies ban this from happening.

131
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.120
All right, I have an on
the fly update. That first half was

132
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.720
pretty good. I bumped two stories
to Monday, and now I can tell

133
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.639
you Monday is also pretty good.
So listen all weekend solid episodes all the

134
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.800
way through huzzah. Following up on
yesterday, I was doing a Taylor Swift

135
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.960
rant that yeah, I do listen
back in the car every day on my

136
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.159
way to the National Donute Chain.
And as I listened back to Thursday's episode

137
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.000
that first segment where was talking about
Nicki Glazer, I didn't like it.

138
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.519
I didn't nail it. I'd like
to do that one again. Just didn't

139
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.519
nail it. Heather jumped in on
the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy

140
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.279
News podcast group, not knowing that
I didn't like the segment, but I

141
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.200
didn't like the segment, and Heather
wrote, friendly neighborhood Swifty here just wanted

142
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.799
to say that Nicki Glazer brought up
Taylor Swift. She wrote, do not

143
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:03.480
insert Joe Coy joke. Okay,
because on Taylor's new album she has thank

144
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.240
You Amy, and she reminds us
that the spelling on thank You Amy has

145
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.080
a capital K a capital I and
a capital M and the rest in lower

146
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.519
cases, and Kim spells Kim.
She has a song on the new album

147
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.279
that people think is about Kim and
reignited the Kim K hate. I think

148
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.200
that was Nicky's first thought when Kim
K got booted the Brady Roast, but

149
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.960
then she remembered that this family sucks
in general in most people's opinions. Fun

150
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.840
fact, Nicky's body shaming comments about
Taylor were used in the Miss Americana documentary,

151
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.440
which Nicky has since apologized for.
Appreciate the note there. I do

152
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.159
like Taylor Swift, by the way. I just I like the bit more

153
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.279
than I like Taylor Swift. When
I saw Taylor last year, that was

154
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.720
the best concert. I think.
I've talked about this in the past,

155
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.759
and I'll let you know how the
Rolling Stones were last night. But when

156
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.679
I left Taylor, and I'm a
big Springsteen fan, I said, Okay,

157
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.320
Bruce, you and the guys are
going to stand at one end of

158
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.840
the arena and play guitars for two
and a half hours. I'm no longer

159
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:03.759
impressed. Heather also to post with
hashtag Bob's Burgers fans Unite Well. Ellen

160
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.480
is a Bob's Burgers fan. Now
I'm hoping the Bobsburgers fans unite and maybe,

161
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.639
you know, if people run with
the gag enough, maybe they'll make

162
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.080
like a fan film, or maybe
they'll like actually produce an episode of Bob's

163
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.519
Burgers from all this merch, and
then we could all laugh at the joke

164
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.759
that the show was real for the
last fourteen years. We'll see Ellen wants

165
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.080
to buy me a coffee dot com
thank you, Ellen, and bought me

166
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.399
three ice coffees. You can hear
one right here. I'm gonna keep doing

167
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.440
this because i haven't done this in
a while. And she wrote in the

168
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.679
words of the why David Letterman,
if it weren't for the coffee, I'd

169
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.200
have no identifiable personality whatever. She
adds, I believe that applies to Johnny

170
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.480
Mack as well. I'm not offended
anytime anyone wants to compare me in any

171
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.960
way to David Letterman. Great compliment
accepted. Thank you, Ellen. Hope

172
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.279
you're enjoying Bob's Burgers. Oh my
brain is fried here. So I'm looking

173
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.120
at the next story. It is
from people and it says Richards tells people,

174
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.919
And I'm like, do I have
a Keith Richards from Merlingstones. Do

175
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.279
I have a Keith Richards story in
here? Oh no, no, No,

176
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.159
it's Michael Richards. He was Creamer
on Seinfeld, still talking about that

177
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.600
infamous night where he lost that on
stage. He said, I was immediately

178
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.720
sorry the moment I said it on
stage. I'm not looking for a comeback.

179
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.000
My anger was all over the place
and it came through hard and fast.

180
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.519
Anger is quite a force, but
it happened. Rather than run from

181
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.919
it, I dove to the deep
end and try to learn from it.

182
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.279
Hasn't been that easy. Crisis managers
wanted me to do damage control, but

183
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.399
as far as I was concerned,
the damage was inside of me. He

184
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.519
says he has spent the past seventeen
years in deep analysis. It was time

185
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.240
to figure out where all the anger
was coming from. Part of it came

186
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.320
down for him, his own insecurities. Somehow I couldn't connect to the joy

187
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.639
of being an artist. I was
a good character actor, but I was

188
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.960
comfortable being the character, not in
being me. I said no to the

189
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.600
offer of a store in the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. I didn't feel deserving.

190
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.360
I said no to hosting SNL twice
because I didn't feel good enough.

191
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.039
I never really felt satisfied with my
Seinfeld performance. Fame magnified my insecurities.

192
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.360
As for the infamous night in two
thousand and six, he says, I'm

193
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.200
not racist. I'm nothing against black
people. The man who told me I

194
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.480
wasn't funny had just said what I'd
been saying to myself for a while.

195
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.200
Felt put down. I wanted to
put him down. The Veil Comedy Festival

196
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.960
back this weekend, kicks off tonight. Jenny Zigrino Is you're a headliner.

197
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.759
You'll find her at the Gambit Bar
tonight at seven thirty. She says,

198
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.399
I feel like every time we do
comedy in Colorado, I have an amazing

199
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.559
time. Last year I was at
the High Planes Festival in Denver. It

200
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.039
was so great hang out with my
peers from all over the country. My

201
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.679
favorite memory from doing a festival like
this is the crappy diner food you have

202
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.200
the next morning after the closing party. I love seeing friends I haven't seen

203
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.960
at a long time at festivals,
discovering new comedians that are hitting the scene.

204
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.320
My favorite part of festivals crazy after
parties. I like to go back

205
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.159
to the hotel and sleep and just
knowing the funniest people in the world are

206
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.360
on the same show as you.
It's the craziest thing that has ever happened

207
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.919
to you at a comedy show.
She says. One time I asked Blake

208
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.399
Griffin for his phone number. Blake
Griffin, the NBA player, best known,

209
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.559
I think for his time on the
Clippers, the La Clippers. He

210
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.240
gave it to me. I don't
know if it was real or not.

211
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.279
Comedian Mark Masters is the organizer of
the Veil Comedy Festival, and he said,

212
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.559
you can go to comedy festivals where
you're going to a theater and you're

213
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.519
watching with five hundred or thousand people. You're watching most of our shows with

214
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.279
less than one hundred people. And
after the show you go into any of

215
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.279
the great restaurants in and around Veil
Village and the comedians who just saw on

216
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.759
stage or sitting right next to you. Boy, imagine if Patton I was

217
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.399
what was there eating a hot dog
and that would be some scene. It's

218
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:16.159
very common for me to hear stories
about guests buying beers for comics. I'm

219
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.679
thinking, what's the term. There's
a term. I can't think of it.

220
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:26.399
For female fans of comedy who sometimes
buy a beer for comedians. Sounds

221
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.960
like it might be an opportunity to
buy a beer for comedian this weekend.

222
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.039
There's a term. I can't think
of it right now. Comedian Monroe Martin

223
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.120
is originally from Philadelphia, is in
New York City. He will also be

224
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.440
headlining the Veil Comedy Festival. Mark
Masters was asked how does he pick it

225
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.399
comes to the festival. There's a
whole committee that scores their submission tapes.

226
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.600
It's a complicated process. And I
don't choose the comedians. Those comedians get

227
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.399
scored by a group of industry professionals
and selected through a screening process. I'll

228
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.919
chime in. I assume part of
the screening process is cost Like, let's

229
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.960
go to the Johnny Mac Comedy Festival. I'm gonna have Chappelle, Seinfeld,

230
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.279
Malaney and affagain at Bill Burr and
Seane gillis pretty cool festival. I can't

231
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.399
afford to book it. And that
is your comedy news for today. Oh

232
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.240
and look at the clock. This
was not a short episode today and I

233
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.600
bumped another story. So we'll have
robust stuff all weekend. Uh. You

234
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.440
know, if you're taking the weekend
off and bring your podcast app with you

235
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.960
or catch up on Tuesday. I'm
cool with that. Have a great weekend,

236
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:20.720
see you tomorrow.
