WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.720
Callaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.039
Hey man, I'm Jenny Mack with You're Daily cow Many News.

3
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.759
Tom Sagora was the guest on the Joe Rogan Experience. Oh,

4
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.920
I keep forgetting to mention. I've been watching Bad Thoughts

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.519
season two. I really like that show. The writing is

6
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.000
so crisp, with the production is pretty impressive too, Like,

7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.719
the show looks great, but the idea is that Tom

8
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.160
Sagora has come up with for Bad Thoughts just fantastic.

9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.520
I really enjoyed the sketch Black to School anyway.

10
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:32.840
Yeah.

11
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.079
Sagora was on with Rogan the topic the perceived decline

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:38.159
of Los Angeles.

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.359
Eli is it's crazy. I'm so fascinated by the people

14
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.439
because I you know, we both have a lot of friends.

15
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.799
There a lot of people, and there's this There's two

16
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.079
types now, the ones who acknowledge that this is different

17
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.799
and then the delusional ones. Because people are I know

18
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.880
a lot of people who are like, yeah, of course

19
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.759
it's different. You're like, hey, you can see it. You

20
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.640
could see this as a different place than it was

21
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.719
several years ago. And then there's people who are like, no, man,

22
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.560
everything's fine. You're like, you're not in reality right now.

23
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.239
Well, they probably had seven or eight boosters, so maybe

24
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:13.719
they're not thinking so straight.

25
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.120
Established comedian Hollywood insider Nicki Glazer says she's not invited

26
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.959
to Taylor Swift's wedding. No way, No, Blazer told Entertainment Tonight,

27
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.200
of course, not me. No should be smart not to

28
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.040
invite me. Honestly, I look forward to the greeny helicopter

29
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.920
pictures that I see of it eventually, but that's all

30
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.560
I should get. Meanwhile, the Star tells us Nicki Glazer

31
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.799
is networking like crazy hoping to do a movie with

32
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.120
Jennifer Aniston. A source sells Jen is very aware of

33
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.239
Nicky's publicly professed admiration of her, and she knows she

34
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.560
has to pass the baton of being America's rom com

35
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.959
sweetheart to somebody. Oh please, who in Glazers camp plant

36
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.599
it that quote? Yeah, Jennifer Aniston is passing the baton

37
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.280
of being America's rom com sweetheart to forty one year

38
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.760
old Nikki Glee Stop. But Jen is also realistic about

39
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.680
what it takes to forge a decades long career in

40
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.120
the spotlight while keeping up a solid fan base who

41
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.080
will follow you and your work anywhere. The Star reminds

42
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.879
us Glazer got her big break at twenty twenty four

43
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.199
at the roast of Tom Brady. If you heard Friday Show,

44
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.719
I shared some comments with Nicki Glazer, who I don't

45
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.199
think wants to be a roast comedian. The source says,

46
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.840
if Nicki keeps pushing herself out of her comfort zone,

47
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.000
She's gonna have a cheerleader and a potential co star in Jen.

48
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.520
With the balls in Nicky's court right now, as she

49
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.280
makes the first steps towards translating her comedy and award

50
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.240
show fame Stop Award Show, fame, the Golden Globes twice

51
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.000
stop It's Joe Koy has hosted the Golden Globes once.

52
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.599
Do I need to remind you that I have a clip?

53
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.599
I can play the clip? It is something bigger, like

54
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.439
starring in major films, which is Nicki's goal at the moment.

55
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.159
No Way, No. In October, Variety announced Nicki Glazer will

56
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.719
write and star in an edgy romantic comedy. The sore says,

57
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.319
Jen is watching with great interest to see how Nicki

58
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.759
handles this challenge and rolls with the punk. Nobody's more

59
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.919
aware than Jen that the road can get bumpy and

60
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.520
if Nikki shows real resilience in staying power and she

61
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.479
navigates a changing Hollywood, only then is she going to

62
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.599
get Jen's full endorsement and potential collaboration. Who is putting

63
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.800
this out of the universe? Oh my goodness, such nonsense.

64
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.120
Star Trek R Winner Patton Oswald was discussing Bill Maher

65
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.080
sucking up to the President of the United States. Here's

66
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:25.719
Patent speaking with Dean Obadallah.

67
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.599
The reason that Trump is turning on Bill Maher is

68
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.560
because Bill tried to, I'm sure, with good intentions, tried

69
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.680
to placate him, and you can't do that with him

70
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.400
by defying Trump. This is gonna sound kind of weird.

71
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.639
Colbert and Kimmel, Yeah, Trump hates them, but he hates

72
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.439
them because they don't love him. He wants them to

73
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.919
love him, and then the minute they love him, he

74
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.400
has zero respect for them because deep down he hates himself.

75
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.840
So you just have to stick with your guns and

76
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.159
just go, yeah, this guy sucks. You know, in the

77
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.960
long run, it will it will pay out, And anyone,

78
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.280
anyone who does business with Trump, you would just think

79
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.759
basic greed would make you want to defy him, cause

80
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.000
anyone that does business with him, you get destroyed.

81
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.159
Send your letters to Paton Oswald. Rick and Morty might

82
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.879
become a movie. I still haven't watched the last season.

83
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.519
The first season after they changed the voice of Rick

84
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.000
was kind of flat. Though it was a while. You

85
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.759
could have ingested that show into my veins. And I

86
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.920
still haven't watched all of last season yet, or any

87
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.439
of last season yet. And I think there's a new

88
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.600
season about to come out, or might even be out now.

89
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.439
I don't know. I'm talking about making a movie version

90
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.000
of this why lot details I've not been shared for

91
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.600
the film that is in early development. In twenty twenty three,

92
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.000
series creator Dan Herman told The Hollywood Reporter, my philosophy

93
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.439
would just be take a Rick and Morty adventure and

94
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.079
spend a bunch of extra money on it and make

95
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.800
it ninety minutes long, not to try to earn its

96
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.800
future status by virtual of canonical dramatic tone shifts or

97
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.879
anything like that, but rather just make it a super

98
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.920
badass episode of Rick and Morty. Derek Stroop to WRIF

99
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.839
why he lives in New York City despite being from Alabama,

100
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.279
Yrk said, I mean it was truly just a business move.

101
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:07.560
I mean, can you imagine if I said it was

102
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.959
for quality flying. I mean, that wouldn't make it any sense.

103
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.839
Like I said, when you have this accent and life

104
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.519
on stage, people try to put you in a box

105
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.399
all the time. They think he got pretty pins. So

106
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.920
I lived in Denver for nine years and then I

107
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.000
moved here to New York City just to show people

108
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.079
that I'm not doing some pitchfork and overall type of comedy.

109
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.279
I'm like Bill Burr, raised in the woods. He's had

110
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.199
to fight the perception of being a Southern comic. And

111
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.399
you know, I am a Southern comic. I'm a country dude.

112
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.040
But that's not my whole story. I've got the type

113
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.079
of comedy that people from anywhere can enjoy. It's not

114
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:34.319
like I can get up there and do a bit

115
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.399
about gardening squash and lose the crowd. You know, it's

116
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.879
pretty down the middle stuff for everybody. He's been a

117
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.399
comedy mentor to Nate Berghatzy. Now Nate Burghatzy discussed his

118
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.800
own comedy mentor. Nate said, I remember seeing Bill Burr

119
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.639
when I first started. He was a little older than me,

120
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.279
and I watched him get Letterman and all these check marks.

121
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:51.920
I was starting comedy and he was seeing this guy

122
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:53.399
and it was so funny, and then the world was

123
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.199
figuring out how funny was Because Nate think being clean

124
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.879
hindered his career. He said, when it was starting to

125
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.480
come up in two thousand and eight, everything was going

126
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:00.800
that edgy or rude. I thought, if I was a

127
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.639
comedian in the eighties or nineties, I probably would have

128
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.879
had a quicker assent as I fit in with that era.

129
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.920
Being clean out auditioned for an R rated comedy, think

130
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.959
I'm not gonna feel comfortable doing this. That was hard,

131
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.720
because you want to do those movies. I did struggle

132
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.160
with it. I was very tempted, but then I thought,

133
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.800
let me stay in my lane and if anything comes,

134
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.600
I've definitely got some lines. I wouldn't cross cursing anything

135
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.199
sexual in my standup. Even though it's clean, it's adult topics.

136
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.040
I could ride this line. Rick Ferguson said he made

137
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.319
a decision to build an entire show around comedy and

138
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.800
personal stories rather than in politics. He told the View,

139
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.759
I'm sick of people that I agree with, never mind

140
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.199
people I don't agree with. I'm just like let's take

141
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:35.560
an hour and a half. I'll go on stage. I'll

142
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.160
tell you a bunch of jokes, do some stuff, tell

143
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.600
some stories. The end of it, all the stuff you're

144
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.199
angry about is still there. You can have it back.

145
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.240
I'm not taking it from you. Was a choice I

146
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.360
made for myself, like could I do it? Could I

147
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.240
fill a whole show with no politics? And it turns

148
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.120
out I can't. Margaret Chow says, I hate Donald Trump.

149
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.319
I hate how stupid he is. I hate how stupid.

150
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.240
We made the most important job in the world, which

151
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.120
is the presidency. We allow for this idiotic, incompetent, incoherent,

152
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.639
incontinent narcissist to side every day whether we should live

153
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.040
or die. It's a nightmare. We as a world are

154
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.600
forced to be led by this monstrosity. It's really funny

155
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.600
to me. Also, it's really horrendous. The greatest hope is

156
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.920
that he's impeached, removed, and then imprisoned. I do see

157
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.720
a way of that happening. Send your letters to Margaret

158
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.879
Show from The Toronto Guardian. Their Tragedy Plus Time, a

159
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.000
series where they speak to local comedians. Today it's David

160
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.839
Seely David practices old school, authentic, unfiltered and honest comedy

161
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.839
shaped by folks like at Red Fox, Richard Pryor, Eddie

162
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.439
Murphy and Dave Chappelle. Could have left Eddie out of that.

163
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.800
Eddie's a Richard Pryor cover actor as great as he is.

164
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.319
Favorite comedian growing up, Eddie Murphy. I get it. Then

165
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.040
you get a little older and you watch Richard Pryor

166
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.959
sets and you go, oh, I see what Eddie is doing.

167
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.600
Favorite comedian right now, Dave Chappelle, what do you like

168
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.839
about Toronto? Toronto is at all from legal weed on

169
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.879
every corner, at least five different kinds of pink eye,

170
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.360
and a hockey team that's been practicing social distancing with

171
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.240
the Stanley Cup. Ali Sadik talked about crowd work. He

172
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.040
is at not a slapstick and I do do crowd work,

173
00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.920
and you have to be able to follow storylines on

174
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.519
I don't. People can do it. That's how I know

175
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.839
Game of Thrones is so big. People watch movies. If

176
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.079
you're coming to see a shows, be on time. That's

177
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.240
the biggest thing. The later we start, the shorter my

178
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.319
show gets for you. And I prefer to do anywhere

179
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.360
from an hour to an hour thirty. Dean Cole told

180
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.199
the La Times about crowd work. He said, if something

181
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.199
happens while I'm doing my stuff, then fine, But I'm

182
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.120
not going to create a crowd work environment. If it happens,

183
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:21.879
it happens, but I'm not going to purposely create it.

184
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.120
And I mean teach his own to do that. And

185
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.519
there's some people. We are very funny at it, and

186
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.680
there's some people like what are you doing? And for

187
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:29.279
a lot of audience members, I feel like they're being

188
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.160
tricked a lot of times because a lot of comedians

189
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.159
they get up there and they're doing a meet and greet. Hey,

190
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.440
what's your name? What do you do for a living?

191
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.759
How many kids you got? Do that at the meet

192
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.320
and greet? Why are you standing up here for forty

193
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.639
five minutes getting to know everybody?

194
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:40.759
Four?

195
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:42.519
Where are your jokes? If people like it, you know,

196
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.919
what do you do about it? But I'm old school

197
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.120
with the craft. I like written comedy. I like storytelling.

198
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.240
I like hearing something I've never heard before. I don't

199
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.320
like sitting in the audience laughing at somebody's name or

200
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.759
what they do for a living, or who they're with.

201
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.039
My brain isn't learning that way. I mean, people love it.

202
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:56.799
It's a younger audience that I think really love it.

203
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.480
Even though older people love it, don't get me wrong,

204
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.919
but the majority, I think it's a younger on Granted,

205
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:02.639
there's an audience for that. You can give me a

206
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.440
crowd work. Let's hear about you. Who are you? What

207
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.720
happened to you today? That's what's funny. While of the

208
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.559
great comics got sitcoms, why because you can listen to

209
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.360
their jokes and see the show, and then they go

210
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.080
create the show off what they were talking about. You

211
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.120
can see this. So when you have a comic and

212
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:16.960
they leave and you go, who was that person? You

213
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.799
can't remember the comics name, you know what I mean.

214
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.600
I think it's just let people know who you are,

215
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.720
because that's what makes you unique. You can't just go

216
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.960
out and tell joke after joke after joke. Anybody could

217
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.759
tell jokes, but it's who's telling the joke that makes

218
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.799
it great. That that's your comedy news for today. If
