00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.679
Hello, I'm Johnny Meck with Today's Daily Comedy News at
3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.440
daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry.
4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.280
But I better stop talking this way. Mike Birbiglia will
5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.640
write my name down. I am having fun with this
6
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.960
old Burbiglia, Mulaney, John Marco, and whoever else thing. I
7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.559
was hoping to stir it up some more, but it
8
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:31.800
seems like they've stopped talking about it, so I will too.
9
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.000
If you don't know what I'm talking about. Listening to
10
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.799
the February tenth episode of this podcast. But while I
11
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.679
was seeing if I could cause some more trouble, I
12
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.920
found a discussion about a comedian named Mason James, who
13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.880
I was unfamiliar with until half an hour ago. Some
14
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.600
people think Mason James is perhaps, possibly maybe influenced by
15
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.200
Nate Berghetzi. Here's Mason James from a year ago doing
16
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.000
a show for Don't Tell Comedy.
17
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.799
My name is Mace. It's great to be here. Some
18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.679
big news in my life. Me and my wife just
19
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:05.480
had our first baby, so very very fun stuff, very
20
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.760
very fun. Don't worry about clapping. Just a miracle, No
21
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.719
big deal. It's fine, very fun having a baby. The
22
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.040
baby has made me realize I have to lose weight
23
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.120
because he's ten months old and he's trying to breastfeed
24
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.439
me a lot. I didn't know what to do. I
25
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.159
spanked him. I spanked him, said you do not breastfeed dad.
26
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.000
That makes dad sad. I am trying to lose weight
27
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.879
right now. Anybody trying to lose weight here so awesome.
28
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.760
Sell you guys walk in more. People should be responding
29
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:38.599
right now.
30
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.640
They're in the same ballpark. But I don't get wigged
31
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.599
about that. Like I've said a million times, I think
32
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.680
Eddie Murphy is just doing Richard Pryor. But I was
33
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.920
what fourteen years old in nineteen eighty three, so I
34
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.079
loved Eddie Murphy's comedy. But he's clearly doing Richard Pryor,
35
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.280
including the outfit. But I am picking up on one
36
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.280
particular verbal tick in Mason James delivery. Let me just
37
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.599
play the last four seconds. Listen to how he hangs
38
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.000
the words right now. This is very Burgetsian.
39
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.439
Saw you guys walk in more. People should be responding
40
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:10.439
right now.
41
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.879
But again, we all have influences. You may hear me
42
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.639
sometimes on this program, say one, I'm forward promoting tomorrow
43
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.039
on this very program. Blah blah blah. That is a complete, utter,
44
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.759
conscious lift from David Letterman. Stole his phrase, and it's
45
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.000
why I'm doing it. You want to call it an homage,
46
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.840
I don't know. I just like saying it that way.
47
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.800
If David Letterman wants to go off and say that
48
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.759
I'm ripping him off, please do Dave. Nothing would make
49
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.800
me happier that if David Letterman thought I was ripping
50
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.159
him off. I wish I were one one millionth as
51
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.599
good as David Letterman. And the other tick that I
52
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.000
consciously do is I will do a yeah, in the
53
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.120
middle of resetting a story, I'll just make up something ridiculous.
54
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.560
I'll do something like this, A chicken was crossing the road. Yeah,
55
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.800
apparently it wanted to get to the other side, so
56
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.879
that yeah, in the middle.
57
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.159
There.
58
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.120
That's a Conan O'Brien tick that I deliberately do. In
59
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.560
Yellow Springs, Ohio, today, Dave Chappelle and John's Stewart will
60
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.240
do a show together. It's a benefit for radio station WYSO.
61
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.000
It's part of the WYSO After Dark series. Now I'm
62
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.680
laughing at this. The after Dark is cracking me up.
63
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.039
Earlier today, I got a random email from Disney Plus
64
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.639
saying that Mom's account has been updated to what is it,
65
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.680
mature Audiences whatever they call it m and I just
66
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.919
texted the whole family. I'm like, apparently Mom is watching
67
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.840
Mickey Mouse after Dark, which I don't even know what
68
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.599
that would be, but just I thought it was funny
69
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.360
to get mature audiences warning from Disney Plus. But Wyso
70
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.919
after Dark features Dave Chappelle and John Stewart in conversation
71
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.240
seven thirty pm to night at Dayton's Benjamin and Marion
72
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:41.520
Schuster Performing Arts Center. Taylort Solison will have a comedy
73
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.879
special on Netflix on Tuesday, February twenty fourth, not too
74
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.199
far away. It is her fourth for Netflix. Prodigal Daughter
75
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.159
was filmed at the Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
76
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.400
I remember telling you about that filming last summer. We've
77
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.360
all almost lived long enough to actually see the special.
78
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.960
I hope we all make it, but we've at worst
79
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.039
made it to the trailer. There's a trailer. It's long,
80
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.919
it's good. It's like the best trailer I've heard in
81
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.919
a long time. And being very very serious. It's going
82
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.759
to take a minute change here, but here's Taylor Tomlinson's
83
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.080
really good trailer.
84
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.439
I really appreciate you guys coming to this new hour
85
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.040
of material because I know it's a lot of God
86
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.279
stuff and a lot of gay stuff, and my agents
87
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:25.199
are nervous. I started doing stand up in churches. They
88
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.000
called it testimony, but I was getting last.
89
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:28.959
Easter.
90
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.279
There's a better story than Christmas, in my opinion. It's
91
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.759
where all of our merch is from. You've seen it.
92
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.399
Christmas is not as good a story. It's just a
93
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.000
long walk to a barn. Jesus is barely in it.
94
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.519
He comes in right at the end.
95
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:42.959
He does zero magic.
96
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.079
Jesus is basically the post credit scene in a Marvel movie.
97
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:53.079
It's if you have depression. You have a pretty complicated
98
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.360
relationship with death. You sort of look at death like
99
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.279
it's the Phantom of the Opera. You're like, oh, that's scary,
100
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.199
But then sometimes you're like, I mean, that's side. His
101
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.279
face is kind of hot. Coming out as bisexual at
102
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.319
thirty feels like saying to a waiter, by the way,
103
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.439
it's my birthday, and they're like, cool, send to yourself.
104
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:10.240
You're a grown woman.
105
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.519
So I started dating this girl who was so hot.
106
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.319
I was like, oh my god, am I Pete Davidson.
107
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.959
When I started dating women, it was the closest I'd
108
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.319
come to feeling religious in a long time. My friends
109
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.120
would complain about their boyfriends and husbands, and I was like,
110
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:33.000
have you heard the good news? You don't have to
111
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.120
live like this now?
112
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.199
Some of that content bothered. You send your letters to
113
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.959
Taylor Thomlinson. I'm just dosing a podcast in the basement.
114
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.040
The official description from the Netflix is Taylor Thompson returns
115
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.319
to her roots with a tight new hour about deconstructing
116
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.360
your faith, processing religious trauma, exploring your sexuality, and confronting
117
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.120
your fear of death. It's NBA All Star Weekend tonight.
118
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.120
It's the Celebrity Game. In the Celebrity Game, Mac Packer
119
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.000
Keegan Michael Key will take the court. That's on ESPN
120
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.519
at seven pm Eastern. Jimmy Carr was giving out some
121
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.399
parenting advice. An audience member yelled out to Jimmy Carr,
122
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.319
what's your advice for parents with toddler's Carr gave a
123
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.160
serious answer. He said, well, practical advice. You can half asset,
124
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.480
get an iPad and Netflix subscription, and you're off to
125
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.560
the races. They'll be very happy. The crowd laughed at that,
126
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.360
but Carr said, you want serious advice. The woman said yeah.
127
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.439
Carr explained hard choices now easy life. Later that got applause.
128
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.879
I bet you love your kids, but you've also got
129
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.040
to love who they could be. So it's kindness, isn't it.
130
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.240
You want to be really kind to your children, but
131
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.959
just not kind in the moment. What a kids want.
132
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.439
They want to watch TV and not read books. They
133
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.240
want to eat junk food, not vegetables. If you give
134
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.439
in to that, if you're kind in the moment, you've
135
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.879
got fat, stupid kids. That's no good. You've got to
136
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.759
be a little bit mean in the moment. At another
137
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.279
recent show, a woman asked Jimmy Carr how she could
138
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.920
deal with kids who were bullying her eleven year old son.
139
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.560
Carr did a bunch of silly jokes and then got
140
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.759
serious and said, speaking as a parent, you can't helicopter parent.
141
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.439
You cannot pave the jungle. You can just teach him
142
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.680
to get through it. It's a very tough thing. On
143
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.639
the upside, your kid is being bullied. That's terrible, I
144
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.839
imagine heartbreaking for you. But at least he's not the bully.
145
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.920
Tell him from me, you can't have an easy life
146
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.920
and a great character. You can't have both. It'll make
147
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.240
him stronger and better and more compassionate in the future.
148
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.639
You know the actress Kathy Bates, I think she has really,
149
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.480
really good taste. The great dramatic actor Adam Sandler was
150
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.319
recently at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and Adam
151
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.959
Sandler told a story about sending Kathy Bates the script
152
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.519
for horrible Adam Sandler comedy The water Boy. As Sandler
153
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.519
told the story, I remember we sent Kathy Bates a
154
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.879
script for The water Boy to play My Mama. I
155
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.480
don't know if I have the story one hundred percent right,
156
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.399
but apparently she kind of read the first page and
157
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.120
threw it in the garbage. See. I love Kathy Bates,
158
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:49.759
genius talent, Kathy baits. Unfortunately, Kathy, back in those days,
159
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.319
surrounded herself with terrible staff. Sandler said. The guy who
160
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.360
works with Kathy picked it up and read it and said, Kathy,
161
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.560
I think you should read that script. It's pretty funny.
162
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.439
So obviously the staff member has no Jason comedy. Kathy
163
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.279
read it and decided to give it a shot. From there,
164
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.560
she met with Adam Sandler and enjoyed spending time with him,
165
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.759
which I could see. I think I would enjoy spending
166
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.959
time with Adam Sandler, Like right now, I'm wearing a
167
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.920
purple sweatshirt and totally non matching gray sweatpants. I could
168
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.600
see Sandler being like, hey, bro, cool outfit. Kathy Bates,
169
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.399
who has good Taste, told a similar version of the
170
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.920
story on the Drew Barrymore Show back in twenty twenty four.
171
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.480
According to Kathy's version, she made it to page twelve
172
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.519
before she threw it in the trash right next to
173
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.440
my bed. On this very program, see stole that from Letterman.
174
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.200
On this very program. On Sunday, comedian Drew Lynch joins us,
175
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.440
Drew is appearing at Just for Laughs Vancouver. He's going
176
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.399
to stop by Tomorrow's show. Is in more or less
177
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.320
a normal episode. We'll look at what's going on at
178
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.159
the Daytona five hundred. Bird Krascher and Nate Pergetz hearing
179
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.559
to be there at JFL Vancouver tonight at Gambles at
180
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.480
the Rio at seven Yakov'smeir and Off seven o'clock at
181
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.879
the York Michael Longfellow's at the Rio at nine, Wally
182
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.080
Barham at the York Theater. Any leader has two shows
183
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.080
at House of Comedy. She's doing seven thirty, nine, fifteen.
184
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.360
If we were at the festival tonight, if I were
185
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.360
hanging out with Mike from the Letterman Podcast and I
186
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.360
was like, Hey, Vancouver is a hell of a town,
187
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.080
let's go see some comedy shows, I would actually pick
188
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.039
Yakov Smirnoff, just to see what's going on there. That
189
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.480
would be my pick. At seven at nine o'clock, I
190
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.799
think we go see Wally Barram at the York Theater.
191
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.279
I like what I've seen out of Wally so far.
192
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.559
It is Friday. It is time for the comedy stock market.
193
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:36.720
Take it away, Burt Reynolds.
194
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:37.720
Comedy stock Market.
195
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.639
Now. So far in twenty twenty six, the comedy stock
196
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.360
market activity has been quite limited. But I've got a
197
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.159
lot for you today. Let's start with two cells. We're
198
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.039
gonna sell John Mulaney. We're gonna sell Mike Probiglia. Do
199
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.080
I need to tell you? Why? Do I need to
200
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.039
tell you what team I'm on in this little fight.
201
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.720
We're selling MILLENIU and we're selling Forbiglia and in support
202
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.919
of the twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year, John
203
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.240
Marcos SIESI, let's even more stock. Eventually, we're gonna own
204
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.600
all the stock at John Marco. I am all in
205
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.559
on this guy who did not rip off John Mulaney
206
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.799
in the least. So we'll buy some Jon Marco. Let's
207
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.600
also buy some Chris Fleming. With that HBO special coming
208
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.919
out soon. I've been a fan of Chris for a
209
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.919
few years. We'll see how the rest of the country
210
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.799
reacts to Chris Fleming. Let's buy Taylor Thomlinson. That trailer
211
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.440
from earlier in the show was really, really good. There's
212
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.960
nothing not to like about her, very personal, very funny,
213
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.120
looks great. Her specials on Netflix, not that other service
214
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:31.799
that you do your special on when you're on your
215
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.320
way down. So Taylor Thompson, let's scoop up some more
216
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:38.559
Taylor Thomason, and let's buy some Mason James again. Half
217
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.240
an hour ago, I didn't know who that was, but
218
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.879
I thought that clip was pretty funny. Throw a couple
219
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.120
bucks on Mason james career. We'll check back and we'll
220
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.080
see how we do Zel Mulaney, Selber Bigley, a Bye,
221
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.399
John Marco, Chris Fleming, Taylor Thomason, Mason James. That's your
222
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.919
comedy stock market for this week. Reese Darby, you know him.
223
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.480
He was one of the guys on Flight of the
224
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.039
Concords and you know him from what was it called
225
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.399
Our Flag Means Death? Well, he's going to be in
226
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:06.440
the CBS comedy pilot Regency. Regency is a multikam comedy
227
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.919
and it's a historical spin on the classic multiicam family
228
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.679
sitcom centered around the upper middle class Tilbrooks as they
229
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.559
navigate life, love, and scandal in nineteenth century England. Okay,
230
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.360
ree Darby will play Arthur Tilbrook, the head of the
231
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:25.200
family home. Arthur is heir to a cheese empire, but
232
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.440
prefers to think of himself as a guy's guy. This
233
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.639
is kind of funny. He will go to great lengths
234
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.759
to prove his masculinity. That was a privileged upbringing reveals
235
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.200
itself every time. Now we talk about networks, so clearly
236
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.320
chuckle the premise. I like Reee Darby, but it's on CBS,
237
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.519
so at the end of the day, it's a CBS Sitcom.
238
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.879
If you told me this one was going somewhere else
239
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.240
FX Streamer, I might be a little more into it.
