1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Callarogas shock media.

2
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: Hey, crazy busy. We continues. Hello, I'm Johnny mag with

3
00:00:13,439 --> 00:00:15,960
your daily comedy news, A daily briefing on standup comedy,

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,760
comedians and the comedy industry. A sentence the algorithm loves.

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,120
Where to even begin, Let's start with this one. Jimmy

6
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:24,000
Kimmel had John Mullaney on the show.

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,879
Speaker 3: You know, our friend Stephen Colbert is he's only got

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,879
weeks to live, you know, yeah, right, yes? And by

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,359
live I mean on television?

10
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:33,439
Speaker 4: And is there any other better way to live?

11
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: I was looking at your Instagram and I'm not realizing

12
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:40,320
I look at your Instagram too much, but oh I.

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 4: Approached you about this.

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,439
Speaker 3: Actually, this is a message that you wrote last time

15
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,320
you're on the show. I can barely read that, but

16
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:50,320
it says me, Stephen Colbert, David Byrne, the best, my

17
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:52,880
last time at the ed Sullivan Theater with the kindest,

18
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:54,560
coolest man in late night.

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,719
Speaker 4: Now right, well.

20
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:01,679
Speaker 3: Last fat I just say, right now to the audience.

21
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:06,079
Applause was not the reaction I was looking for. Now,

22
00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:10,959
kindest I could have definitely dealt with, for sure, even

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,680
coolest on its own I for sure could have done

24
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:17,400
the in and kindest coolest in Late Night really narrows

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,079
it down, Yeah yeah, really narrows it down.

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,239
Speaker 4: To just a few guys. Yeah yeah.

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: And so then I sent this to you.

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, with the text that said, I let you live

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,680
in my house, yeah, which which during a wayward a

30
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:35,879
dressless period of my life, I lived in your house

31
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:37,159
just for a while.

32
00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: Was there a period of time where you lived in

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,760
Steven's house for longer.

34
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:43,799
Speaker 4: Than I have to say? The man's never invited me over.

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,599
But I think obviously, like what a position you've all

36
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,239
put us in. You're all getting suspended and fired constantly.

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,640
That conan retires, we all have to talk so hyperbolically

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,719
about all of you so often we're out of words.

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,319
The coolest who gives it? I mean, it's psyche, he's

40
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:05,120
he's off the air. You gotta say something nice. If

41
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,959
you had been full fired, not half fire, yeah, I

42
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:11,080
would have said, this is the kindest coolest guy in

43
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:13,400
Late Night. And I broke his bathtub once.

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: While m'laney was in town, he sat down for this

45
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:21,879
Better Be Funny with David Letterman special guest John mulaney.

46
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:24,879
Before bringing out Mlany, Dave brought out our good friend

47
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,360
Paul Shaffer. The capacity crowd greeted Paul Shaeffer with a

48
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:32,520
standing ovation. Letterman has signed on to executive produce Say

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Hello to Our Good Friend to Paul Shaffer, an upcoming

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,159
future documentary about Paul Shaffer. Recap says Dave and Paul

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,759
traded quips like they did for years. Shaeffer came back

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,319
to close the show ninety minutes later by taking a

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,159
seat at the piano and performing Frank Sinatra's That's Life.

54
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:51,479
So this sounds very similar to the Vancouver show that

55
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:53,360
a friend of the show, Mike Chisholm, who hosts the

56
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,879
Letterman Podcast, Mike could come on here to tell us

57
00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:57,280
about that one. So it sounds like it was very

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,840
similar when Paul shot up in Vancouver. Also like the

59
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:02,919
Vancouver show, Dave kicked off the La show with an

60
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800
opening that played like this is your Life. Dave looked

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,879
back on his early days, all the way back to childhood.

62
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,080
Photos flashed on the screen showing a young David Letterman

63
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,879
in his yearbook photo and on the basketball and track

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,639
teams at Broad Ripple High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. Dave

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,800
recapped highlights of his career early radio and TV gigs,

66
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,000
the time he was a weekend weatherman, or when he

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,520
reported live for KTLA at the nineteen seventy nine Rose Parade.

68
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,080
I'll have to pull that clip someday. He played clips

69
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:31,759
of himself on Mork and Mindy and the Mary Tyler

70
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,800
Moore Hour. That's the variety show, not the famous sitcom.

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,159
Dave talked about an early appearance at the Comedy Store, saying,

72
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:40,240
I told a joke and nobody laughed, but I wasn't

73
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400
discouraged because I was specified. You can't be discouraged and

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,199
petrified simultaneously. When I got off stage, there was a

75
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,439
man there in the shadows, a man I recognized by

76
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:50,400
the name of Richard Pryor. And Richard Pryor said to

77
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:52,840
David Letterman, I really like that joke, Dave said, and

78
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,639
I thought, oh my god, I can go ahead and

79
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,560
pay the rent. It was a huge moment for me.

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Blaney comes out. Dave and John spent some time talking

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,120
about Malleini's family. It sounds like Mullaney wents to stock material,

82
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,520
which is kind of lame. To be honest, We've heard

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,439
this before. If you listen to this show, if you

84
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:10,400
pay attention to John mullaney, but the recap I see

85
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:12,680
says that Mallani got lots of laughs for For the

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,039
first thirty nine years of my life, I financially supported

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,720
zero Vietnamese people. Now sitting in with you tonight, I

88
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:19,560
have about ten on the books and to take cash

89
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,160
app It's weird when people like, oh, what's your life

90
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:23,839
like when you're doing all these projects, But most of

91
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,240
my day is texting with elderly Vietnamese people about if

92
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,120
they got the money, if they need more, if I

93
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,720
bought an appliance at a breaks. I don't know if

94
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:32,279
you know this, that's on me. M'laney said it was

95
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,240
one of the greatest things that's ever happened to him,

96
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,040
to have his life expanding that way, quoting Malleni, there's

97
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:40,839
just no comparison to being Vietnamese. Being Chinese Vietnamese is

98
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:44,720
the smartest thing I ever did. It's remarkable. It's remarkable.

99
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,959
Letterman asked mullaney about some other stuff, like being the

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,959
first comedian to play Wrigley Field, accepting an honorary patronage

101
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:56,319
from Trinity College Dublin in Ireland, taking Malcolm to Graceland,

102
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:59,680
and becoming a part owner of years the famous non

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,439
autum alcoholic beer brand. Dave asked Lane about directing Robbie

104
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:06,720
Hoffman special. Dave was curious what it's like to work

105
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:09,759
with Robbie Hoffman. He prefaced his question saying, I've lost

106
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:11,720
my way in the world of contemporary comedy because I'm

107
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:13,399
so smitten by you in a handful of other young

108
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:15,360
men and women who I think have elevated this craft,

109
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,720
this art beyond early expectation in the world. Mullaney called

110
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:23,439
Hoffman a total original, likening her debut to Sam Kinnison.

111
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,319
Quote someone who you're like, I've never heard a comedian

112
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,600
like this. I've never seen anyone this unafraid. You know,

113
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:33,639
you throw Sam Kinnison in front of Johnny Mack and

114
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,279
I was ready to say the phrase tap the brakes.

115
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:39,879
But I don't think Mullaney's crazy there, Malaney said when

116
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,720
she opened for me in San Diego at an outdoor

117
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,680
venue on the water with lots of couples of tables,

118
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:46,680
she never adjusted her act for anyone. Tell you that's

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,639
gonna make for a nice pair on the Weekly Comedy Thing.

120
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,360
That's the show I host on the Live one radio app.

121
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,079
The app is free. The show is free, and over

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,639
there I can play bits. So I'm going to back

123
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,920
to back some Robbie with some Kinneseson. That's great. Mullaney said.

124
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,600
He reached out to Robbie Hoffman because he had a

125
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,639
deal to direct and produce specials for Netflix. As John

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,319
tells it, she goes, what's the money, and I go

127
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,120
all told, you'll net blank there's a lot of expenses,

128
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,560
and I have a small budget, and they'll license it,

129
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,279
and it's a really interesting deal. But I'll just be

130
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,120
up front. I take no fee to direct it, but

131
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,800
you'll probably only net blank blank thousand. She's like, not

132
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,439
very much. She came to the conclusion that was very

133
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:21,160
good for her, but said to m'lanie, let's be clear,

134
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,120
it's good for you too, because he seems street. When

135
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,920
you do stuff like this, John, you seem street. It

136
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,399
seems like you're plugged in, Mollini said. But I will

137
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,160
say her prophecy came true. I am seen as cooler,

138
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,120
I am street. A lot of people have been saying

139
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,600
I see more Street. Now she's one of those people

140
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,160
that makes me excited to just stand up again. Now

141
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:41,079
this is an interesting change. Letterman asked Mullaney will he

142
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:45,079
make more of the talk show. Mullany gave a non answer.

143
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,680
He said, we have another season from Netflix. I'm on

144
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800
tour till January twenty twenty seven, so we shall see.

145
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,519
So it's Schrodinger's talk show. It's both dead and not dead.

146
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,680
Other conversation points they talked about Mullanie's time on SNL

147
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360
and the new Michael Jackson movie. Melanie asked Letterman whether

148
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,240
a Letterman would see it. Dave declined. Mlaney said, I

149
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,959
don't think that program is for me. I don't say this,

150
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,120
by the way, some kind of stance, but just esthetically

151
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,000
and as a film, it looks stupid and bad. I

152
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,720
don't think that was filmed. I wonder if that will

153
00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:19,959
come out on some form on Netflix. That sounds really amazing.

154
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,560
I would love to see that. Maybe it's one of

155
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,480
those you just had to be there, all right. It

156
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,079
was the finals of Funny af that's the Kevin Art

157
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,600
comedy competition series, which I'm behind on. But I've been

158
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,199
picking away at and I was like, you know what,

159
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,120
this is a pretty good version of such a thing.

160
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,800
I could give notes. I think I have given notes,

161
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:40,680
but just it's like something I have on while I'm

162
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,199
scrolling on Twitter to see what's up with a hantavirus.

163
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,680
It's nice to have on in the background. Anyway, it

164
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,279
was the finals. Here's Kevin Hart. Viewers around the world

165
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:52,920
have voted and the winner.

166
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: How funny af is?

167
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,439
Speaker 2: And why did you clip it there? Johnny was just

168
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,519
about to tell us who won. Yeah, so the problem

169
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,480
is Kevin Hart dropped an F bomb, and I try

170
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,240
not to do that on this program. Your winner was

171
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,959
thirty four year old Detroit Bourne comic Ron Taylor. Taylor

172
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,040
went out over at Caitlyn Palufo, Sama, Sidiki and Regg Thomas.

173
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,160
Kevin Hart said, Ron is such an amazing talenty. It's

174
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,240
a strong voice, and I love his energy. He's poised,

175
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,920
polished and now position to be a face that will

176
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,160
be seeing for quite some time. This competition was everything

177
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:25,480
was supposed to be plus more. The four finalists were

178
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,360
all amazing. They did not disappoint. I'm blown away at

179
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:30,959
Ron's win and we're all in full celebration mode. I

180
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,879
got a high five Kevin Hart. There is gonna make

181
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:36,159
a short joke, should I? I got a low five

182
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,200
Kevin Hart hack, But like I said, this was a

183
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,639
good version of that, and you came away liking these

184
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,039
people and rooting for them, and you got to see

185
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,879
some newer faces. So it was a good job there.

186
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000
Taylor was crowned the winner during a taping on Tuesday

187
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,240
night that aired live on Netflix. He will now get

188
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,679
his own Netflix special, he said, he will title that

189
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,360
special Elevate Now. During the semi finals, they did a

190
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,639
roast and Nikki Glazer was there, and I was like,

191
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,360
hold on, hold on, hold on Niki Glazer, and they're

192
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:08,440
like praising Nicki Glazer that she's the greatest roast comic

193
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,679
of all time, which will debate some other day. Don

194
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:13,799
Rickles and did Tony Hinchcliff write the jokes at the

195
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,919
Brady Roast? But okay, fine, Nicki Glazer is the greatest

196
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,320
roast comedian of all time. She's in Los Angeles with

197
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,960
Kevin Hart and on Sunday is the roast of Kevin

198
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,440
Hart and Nicki Glazer the greatest roaster of all time?

199
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:27,960
Isn't doing the roast of Kevin Hart. The whole thing

200
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,000
was weird, especially when Kevin Hart is just waxing poetic

201
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
about what a great roaster she is. Why isn't she

202
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,600
doing the roast of Kevin Hart. I mean, if you're

203
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:37,919
the greatest, hear me out, hear me out, hear me out,

204
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,519
hear me out, hear me out. If you're the greatest

205
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,840
roaster of all time? Should I not be able to

206
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,559
wake you up out of bed and you just slay?

207
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,639
Wouldn't that make you the greatest? Right?

208
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 3: I know?

209
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,639
Speaker 2: Niki said, oh, I need time to prepared jokes. Well,

210
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:54,039
maybe you're not the greatest. Then maybe you're the best prepared.

211
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,320
I don't know. The whole thing was weird. A guy

212
00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:01,440
named Chris grulan Comedy on three did a breakdown here.

213
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:05,440
I have not confirmed this, but according to his threads account,

214
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,759
he said, Osama time on stage six thirty five total laughs,

215
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,320
fifty three laughs per minute, eights applause breaks, five, run

216
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,279
time on stage six thirty two total lasts, fifty five

217
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:19,000
last per minuted, eight point four applause breaks six. All right,

218
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,519
very similar numbers. Caitlin seven minutes twenty four sixty four

219
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,000
total laughs, eight point six lass per minute, five applause breaks,

220
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,480
and Redge got seven to twenty one on stage fifty

221
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:33,919
eight total laughs, seven point nine laughs per minute, and

222
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:37,080
seven applause breaks. Not sure what you do with that information,

223
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,080
but it is interesting. If you follow me in the

224
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,639
Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, you saw me

225
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,279
post Thursday Midday that like, hey, I just had to

226
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,919
like get the machete out to cut down today's script.

227
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,120
I mean, check your watch. We're this four in and

228
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,159
we've got a lot to do even in the first half.

229
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,399
Dave Chappelle was on Michelle Obama's podcast, Here's Dave.

230
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: It's never really been quite like this before, where everyone

231
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,639
feels like we're on the precipice of some amazing change.

232
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,480
And every day the new cycling is more appalling than

233
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:13,399
the last day, and this doesn't seem like it's eving

234
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,799
going to end. And every week I learned some new

235
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,639
word like straight of her moves or blah blah blah.

236
00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:25,519
And it's such an avalanche that it is fun even

237
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:31,759
for me now to watch comedians contextualize this stuff. Someone

238
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:33,559
asked me about my transgender I say, say, you know,

239
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,759
you got a lot of trouble for those transgender jokes,

240
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:36,960
and I go, ah, the good.

241
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: Old days.

242
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:42,639
Speaker 2: Now getting some pick up, and I suspect this is

243
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,519
going to get more pick up, will become more of

244
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,840
a thing because of some of the words of Dave Chappelle,

245
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:48,799
some of the blowback he's going to get, and that

246
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:53,000
Michelle Obama was there and really didn't comment on what

247
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,320
Chappelle said. Dave was talking about trans jokes. Dave said,

248
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,279
people would think it's me versus the gay community. I

249
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:00,679
never looked at it like that. Oh, it was corporate

250
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,279
interest and culture negotiating itself. So you know, most of

251
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,000
these people who were critical of what I was doing

252
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,840
didn't seem like they were of it. It's like they

253
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,120
had their faces pressed against the glass commenting on what

254
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:12,159
we were doing in there, but they weren't there doing it.

255
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,679
Every opinion you could think of is represented in a

256
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,080
comedy club. Every type of person you can imagine does

257
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,360
stand up comedy, transgender stand up comics, black, white, Asian,

258
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,480
every kind of perspective, and we all champion whatever opinion

259
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,879
we champion. We would never think to silence one another.

260
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,639
Dave said, being in the room for a joke is

261
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:31,039
much different than a joke being read on paper or

262
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,600
perhaps by some idiot in a basement reading your words

263
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:37,639
on his dumb podcast. I if Dave Chappelle has that

264
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,840
criticism of me, I think Dave Chappelle would be correct.

265
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Dave said, for a media outlet to speculate on a

266
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:47,440
comedy show that they weren't at or misinterpreted joke, nothing

267
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,519
makes a comedian matter than reading his joke wrong in

268
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,200
the paper, you know, And reading a joke is nothing

269
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,159
like hearing one or being one. And the intention of

270
00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:57,960
a comedy show is a very unique intention. We're playing

271
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,679
with whatever the culture is made of, and we break

272
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,000
it down and we get it right or we get

273
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,559
it wrong. But in all art, if it's going to

274
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,720
be good or even hopefully great, you gotta have a

275
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240
margin of error. I think that's all very fair. And

276
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:09,960
like I just said, if if if Chappelle or any

277
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,320
comedian like hates when I quote their stuff, they're right.

278
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,399
They're one hundred percent right. In Yahoo or maybe it's

279
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:18,840
from them dot com, Matthew Rodriguez writes, come again. Many

280
00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:21,480
of Chappelle's anti trans jokes were not in fact digested

281
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,080
on paper, but were available and widely watched a series

282
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,320
of Netflix specials that were available for all to see.

283
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,200
And indeed, it is actually kind of hard to misinterpret

284
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,960
the comedians saying he is Team Turf seems like one

285
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,039
of those situations where you get exactly what it says

286
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,320
on the tin. Also from Yahoo, they were talking more

287
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,840
about K's show the other night. They observe themes that

288
00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:43,639
stuck out in CK's performance are ridiculous. Is the new

289
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,320
materials interest in aging, death, wisdom, and regret. Take for

290
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,120
instance the call and response bit where Ck said I'm

291
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,000
so old and the crowd yelled how old are you?

292
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,039
He named three increasingly bleak truths about approaching sixty, concluding

293
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,000
I'm so old that I live in the present for

294
00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:00,519
the first time, not because of wisdom, but from because

295
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,039
there's too much of the past and not enough of

296
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,519
the future. The thing about life that I've learned is

297
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,919
that life is too long. It's way too long. It's

298
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,720
way too long because you again have a good life, but

299
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:12,519
then you're still live after that one. And also you

300
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,200
kind of figure life out, you figure out the world,

301
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,639
and then it changes completely. Here's the thing about getting old.

302
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,480
I don't feel bad for somebody that gets old, because

303
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:20,200
you don't have to do it. Getting old is what

304
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,480
happens when you don't die for a long time. That's

305
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:26,600
all it is. Uh. That quote worries me a little bit, Louis,

306
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:35,559
I hope you're doing all right.

307
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:38,799
Speaker 4: Comedy stock marketine.

308
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: Every week we take a look at what comedian stock

309
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:44,039
we should buy and we should sell. Again. This is

310
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,440
not a judgment on who's good or bad. It's a

311
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,879
judgment on value. Who's overvalued, who's undervalued. Let's buy some

312
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,919
Ron Taylor, right, I mean Kevin Hart backing Ron Taylor.

313
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:56,440
Ron Taylor getting in a Netflix special. Let's get in

314
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,480
while it's still low. Let's also get in on some

315
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,879
more job. It's Johnson. He's got a new special coming

316
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:04,600
to HBO. We'll talk about that next week. It's just

317
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,559
way too busy this week to get to that. I

318
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,440
also did get to tell you about Larry the Cable Guy.

319
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,440
Has got a cable show that's ironic coming out this fall.

320
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,320
So we're gonna buy some Larry the Cable Guy. We'll

321
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,000
get all these stories. Another bye. Johnny's positive today. Vittorio Angeloni.

322
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,519
I've seen him personally up in Montreal that has been

323
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,759
buzzing him for a few years, and now playing out

324
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:25,080
in la at the Netflix Festival. A lot of people

325
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,120
getting to see Vittorio for the first time. Good buzz

326
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:29,559
on him. Mo Ammer. I always like what he does,

327
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,799
and he's now consulting to the Daily Show. That's another buy.

328
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720
Jeff Currey, I thought looked pretty good on the Kevin

329
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:39,960
Hard Funny AF shows. Let's buy some Jeffic Curry and

330
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,120
I got some sales for you. Andrew Schultz, I got

331
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,639
story in tomorrow. His co host is leaving the Flagrant Podcast.

332
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:51,279
And let's sell Louis ck for reasons well discussed to recap.

333
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:54,799
We're gonna buy Ron Taylor, Larry the Cable Guy, Vittorio Angeloni,

334
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,039
mo Amer, Jeffic Currey, and we're gonna sell Andrew Schultz

335
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,159
and Louis c K. My dog is no dog knows

336
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,080
it's a nice day and wants to go for a

337
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,759
long walk. Oh you just pulled up on the floor here, okay,

338
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,799
dog is co hosting the show. Deadline had caught up

339
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,600
with the Netflix folks earlier in the week. Robbie pra

340
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,960
who heads up Netflix Comedy, said, you're getting this huge

341
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,679
community of talent to come in and all be in

342
00:16:16,799 --> 00:16:19,360
LA and not only comedians, but people who work with comedians,

343
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:21,799
people from around the world who work in the comedy business.

344
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:25,200
Having that for two weeks seemed unecessary, so that was

345
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,440
probably the biggest pivot, turning it into a week Tracy

346
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,039
Pacosta said, I also think what becomes a parent is

347
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:32,159
the bigger comedy ecosystem that we have here at Netflix,

348
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,120
So being able to be inclusive all that, whether it

349
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,240
be the scripted shows, a lot of features, or talent

350
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:38,600
does many different things here in flexus different muscles, So

351
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,799
how do we best take pride in that and give

352
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,759
our talent the opportunity to get involved. Robbie said, that's

353
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:46,320
a good point, merging very popular podcasts with some of

354
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,279
our biggest shows. I think that's a real fun development

355
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,000
this time around. I think we have more music and

356
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:53,679
athletes in the festival, but God's something that organically happened

357
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,279
last time and we're excited to do that. Deadline asked,

358
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,960
what have you figured out in the last four years

359
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,519
in terms of ticket sales and had his best structure

360
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,360
a festival when you have so many big names. I'll

361
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,000
jump in here. I know we saw some of the

362
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:09,119
bigger names weren't selling out, including c K. Robbie Pros said,

363
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,000
I think as somebody who's worked in the festival world

364
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,079
for a long time, I'll jump in again. He used

365
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:16,079
to be the number two I think. At the Montreal

366
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,480
Comedy Festival, Robbie said, ticket sales work a little bit differently.

367
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:22,599
What we're seeing from our consumer base right now is

368
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,119
people waking up, seeing things all around town, saying the

369
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,240
festival's coming, and starting to pick the festival shows they

370
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:29,000
want to go to, which is a little different than

371
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:31,160
the typical behavior. We have a touring comedian coming to

372
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,160
town really just speaking to their fans. I think a

373
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,160
joy about any festival, not just hours, is people experimenting.

374
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,279
I'll jump in again. Amen to that. I always tell you,

375
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,240
if you go to a festival, go see the random shows.

376
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:43,920
Don't only see headliners. Robbie says. People picking the thing

377
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,480
that they know they love the most and then giving

378
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,960
a shot to somebody maybe they heard is cool that

379
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,680
they just want to try out to take advantage of

380
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,000
this being in their hometown. Amen. We are getting along here,

381
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,759
and the dog wants to go out, and so does John.

382
00:17:54,839 --> 00:17:56,559

410
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:29,000
sure it's a wonderful show, but boy, there's some other

411
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,559
things to go see tonight. And I'm just scrolling down.

412
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:33,960
There's a good thirty other shows I didn't even tell

413
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,359

I'm very open that I usually pretape the weekend episodes.

417
00:19:46,079 --> 00:19:49,160
I haven't touched Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I'm swinging here

418
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,440
day today because I want to keep abreast of what's

419
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,240
happening out in LA. I don't want to get too

420
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:56,319
far ahead of things as I record this at two

421
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,640
o nine pm on Thursday afternoon. Netflix has still not

422
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,079
said who's on the roast of Kevin Hart? Is that

423
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,759
not weird? I mean, let's just play it out. Let's

424
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:07,720
just say that, like it's amazing and they're gonna keep

425
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,559
it secret. So who's gonna show up chappelle Ck, etc. Like,

426
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,279
all right, is John m'laney gonna roast Kevin Hart? I mean,

427
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,400
I guess is you know? Is David Lettering gonna show

428
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,200
up and do five minutes roasted Kevin Hart? I can't

429
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,480
imagine any of that. So why are you not telling

430
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:23,279
us who's playing the roast of Kevin Hart? Who knows?

431
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,759
Maybe we'll get Eddie Murphy, who knows? You know what? No,

432
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,319
I'm thinking about that. Eddie lives in town ish you

433
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,319
know what I mean by town in Los Angeles. You know,

434
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,680
Eddie doesn't live ten hours from Los Angeles. He lives

435
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,640
close enough. Jamie Fox. I can see Fox showing up

436
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,319
at this. This could be an event. I'm looking forward

437
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,119
to the roast of Kevin Hart Sunday night on Netflix

438
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,039
at eight Eastern after the next playoff game, and tonight

439
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:46,759
we have a next playoff game. Go Nix see you tomorrow,
