1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Kalaroga Shark Media Tater, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. Their first story seems to be bothering people,

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and I don't come to make light of it at all.

4
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you the story and then I'll tell

5
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you my feelings about it. The headline Toms Agora and

6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>Christina Pozitski have reportedly split. They've been married for eighteen years.

7
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>A source told TMZ they had a special and productive relationship,

8
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 1>creating one of the most successful comedy podcast networks in

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the industry, and more importantly, two kids. They're taking different

10
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>paths moving forward while remaining devoted to their children. They've

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 1>been married since November of two thousand and eight. In

12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>her twenty seventeen Netflix special, Christina p said, I love

13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>my husband. I laugh at his jokes, I think he's fantastic,

14
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and then all day every day, I want to punch

15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>him in his dumb face. It's not the big things

16
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>that make you want to kill your spouse, it's little stuff.

17
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Back in twenty nineteen, Tom Sagora joke the key to

18
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>his marriage was intimidation and saying, my wife is Kim

19
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>jong Ill and I'm the people of North Korea. Every

20
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>day there are a series of interrogations leading to a

21
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>looming execution. The pair will reportedly continue to host the

22
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>podcast Your Mom's House. So obviously a big story if

23
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you follow comedians, and Tom is one of the bigger

24
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>comedians right now. You know, for me, I don't come

25
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 1>to it's say to me when anyone's marriage breaks up.

26
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>This is very different to me than like, if Amy

27
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Schumer posts a picture on Instagram at a bikini, she

28
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>wants us to talk about her, and I'm happy to

29
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>poke fun at that. But this here is just, you know,

30
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I like seeing anybody break up. The New York Post said.

31
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Sigora hinted at the splits by titching his wedding ring

32
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>during the latest episode, Monday's episode of Two Bears One Cave.

33
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>That episode came out the same day of the news

34
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 1>of the split. I'll just caution everybody don't read too

35
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>much into that. I wasn't wearing a ring for a while.

36
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 1>You know why, because I play beach volleyball and my

37
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 1>hands would swell and it was bothering me. And depending

38
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 1>on how fat I am at a particular moment, sometimes

39
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the ring bothers you when you take it off, especially

40
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>playing volleyball. I'm used to playing it now and I've

41
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>actually dropped some weight this summer. Some days it's loose.

42
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Right now, it's a little not loose, but you know

43
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. I can slip it on and off

44
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 1>in other days it's don't read anything into that. Maybe

45
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Tom Sigoor is playing volleyball. The innerk Post says the

46
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>couple has not filmed an episode of Your Mom's House

47
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Together since late April, during which Sigora wore his wedding

48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>ring and apparently somebody did the homework and saw that

49
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Tom had his wedding ring on all prior podcast episodes.

50
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 1>People have too much free time. I was going to

51
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>share with you that, and I still will. Tom Sagora

52
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>was on the Colin and Semir podcast talking about Y

53
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>m H Studios that came out prior to the news

54
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 1>of the split, and you know it's a decent listen.

55
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 1>In terms of the business of podcasting, people are not

56
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>happy with Will Ferrell. They found him really annoying. Monday

57
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>night during the home Run Derby on Netflix. I found

58
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>him so annoying that I had to turn the thing off.

59
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Let's listen to Will Ferrell introduced Bryce Harper, the man

60
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>who never asked the pant Rarah. The Liberty Book comes

61
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>in photos of him. This big cross have cost the

62
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Temple more than George Rohington. He has twenty one career.

63
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Help me. I'm hopefully he ejects some bones tonight, Bronze Harper.

64
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 1>You can tell Netflix does not care because they shared

65
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>that clip on social media, so they think it's great.

66
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>In general, social media was not happy at all with

67
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Will Ferrell. I saw a lot of chatter I shared

68
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>it in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group

69
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>with people just being like, please shut up. A lot

70
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of people suggesting Will Ferrell is past his prime. He's

71
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 1>got the new show out on Netflix, The Hawk, so

72
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if there's a Feral Sans or not. In

73
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>The Hawk, Will Ferrell stars as Lenny the Hawk Hawkins,

74
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>a washed up golf legend who's trying to make the

75
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 1>sport's greatest comeback by chasing one final major and in

76
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 1>typical Will Ferrell fashion, that's accompanied by plenty of chaos

77
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>along the way. The Holland Reporter compared it to Happy

78
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Gilmore So you can tell I'm excited about it. Fortune

79
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Fiemester is part of this. She wondered if the Hawk

80
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>character would get along with Happy Gilmour. She said, the

81
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>characters are so different. I think you love seeing these

82
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>non golf type guys in the very buttoned up golf world.

83
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 1>That's the comedy, the juxtaposition. I think they would give

84
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 1>each other a pretty hard time but have a good

85
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>time doing it. Will Ferrell said, I was really interested

86
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 1>in the possibility of getting to shoot something in La

87
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>and I was intrigued with playing a character for longer

88
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 1>than ninety minutes in a film. According to Will, the

89
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 1>character really only cares about himself and that's what gets

90
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>him back to the top of his game. Ten episodes Netflix,

91
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 1>you'll watch. Speaking of golf, at the American Century Championship

92
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>last week, Colin jos teed off from the par three

93
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 1>seventeenth hole and nearly hit a hole in one. His

94
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>ball rolls within an inch of the cup. Colin Jose

95
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>pumped his arms in the air before ripping off his

96
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 1>sunglasses and embracing the crowd's roars. Scarlett Johansson, his wife,

97
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 1>was there. Joe said Scarlett was like, Baby, if you're

98
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna win this thing, I gotta be there like I

99
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>got to see the champ in action because she kind

100
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>of knew this was my year. Unfortunately, for Colin Jost,

101
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>that was his best shot. He had a couple bogies

102
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 1>and did not win the championship. Remember the other day,

103
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I was recording the show and I didn't have power,

104
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't get to tell you what comedian Michael

105
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Loftist said about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding. Loftist

106
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>told Sky News. Set your watches on how long this lasts?

107
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I give it three years tops, and then it's over.

108
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how she's going to spin it. Somehow,

109
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 1>he'll be the bad guy, she'll have her heartbroken, there's

110
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>going to be action figures, and she'll probably be part

111
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Marvel Cinematic universe before it's all over. Are

112
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>you going to see the Odyssey? This weekend? John Stewart

113
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>had on director Christopher Nolan and said, holy s word,

114
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a staggering work. I was utterly absorbed and transformed

115
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>by the powerful storytelling and epic nature of it. That

116
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 1>sounds like I'm reading the quote here. John apparently spoke

117
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>those words, but that just reads like a printed quote

118
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>I digress. Stuart said, it's just remarkable. I feel like

119
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of the tricks, but I don't

120
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 1>know how you did it. Here's what I'm going to say.

121
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>You're a wizard, Harry. The film is spectacular. Stuart was

122
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>impressed by practical effects, saying that's all practical effects right.

123
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Those are real boat's, real water. Christopher Nolan said, real boats,

124
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>real water. Bill Maher has no intention of retiring. Bill

125
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Mooh is now seventy for comps. Johnny Carson retired at

126
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 1>sixty six, David Letterman at sixty eight. Bill Maher had

127
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>on Byron Allen on Mar's Club Random podcast. I have

128
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 1>that in my cue for this weekend. More said, people

129
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>are basically retired at this point anyway. But I don't

130
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>want to retire, and nobody who is my fan wants

131
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>me to. I don't feel any different really, quite frankly,

132
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 1>act different than when I was forty. I'm married, I

133
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have kids. I still drink and smoke pot and

134
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah. When my life changes, maybe the show

135
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>where my career will change, but until it does, not retiring.

136
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Stock Markets, thank you. Bert Reynolds this week on

137
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 1>the Comedy stock Market, we're going to make some aggressive plays. Okay,

138
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're new to this. Every week we try and

139
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>find value in the comedians. We try and sell high

140
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and buy low. And I'm not all that confident I'm

141
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 1>right this week, but I'm gonna play some bets here.

142
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's sell Will Ferrell. I was looking at social media

143
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.759
<v Speaker 1>during the home run derby, and people were annoyed, and

144
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 1>people were saying things like Will hasn't been funny in

145
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years, and Will has passed his prime, and I

146
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen this Netflix show or not. I'm sure right

147
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>now if I log in, it'd probably number one in

148
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>trending just because he is Will Ferrell. But I don't

149
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>know if people are kind of done with Will Ferrell.

150
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So let's sell Will Ferrell. I might be wrong there,

151
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>but that's the recommendation. Sell Will Ferrell. Let's also sell

152
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Tom Segura. I'm seeing a lot of vibe of Tom

153
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.199
<v Speaker 1>lost weight and he's gone Hollywood and he's lost his way,

154
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and just the general public blaming Tom Sagora. I'm not

155
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>in their marriage. I don't know what goes on or not,

156
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>so I wish them both well as I've said, I'm

157
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 1>sorry anytime anybody breaks up, but you know, trying to

158
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>make some hypothetical money here. So let's sell Tom Segura

159
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>and let's buy Tim Hideker. I've been spending some time

160
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 1>on this new rebooted Info Wars, and what Tim high

161
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Decker is doing on there is amazing. I can't stop

162
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>watching it, basically making fun of the entire Alex Jones persona,

163
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 1>and he has got my intention. So we're gonna sell

164
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Will Ferrell, sell Tom Sigoram, We're gonna buy Tim Hidecker.

165
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 1>That's your comedy stock market this week. If you need

166
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>something to listen to besides me. Marg Barker's new comedy album,

167
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>The Mind Field, is out today via Blonde Medicine. You

168
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>can also find it on various places that stream and

169
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 1>comedy albums. Late Night Er tells us the TV Academy

170
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>is preparing for the possibility that this year's newly recombined

171
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Outstanding Variety Series category could produce more than one Emmy winner.

172
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I told you about this the other day. If you

173
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 1>get more than ninety percent of the votes, you get

174
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 1>an Emmy. CEO Morey McIntyre said, it's a pretty high

175
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 1>bar to clear ninety percent yes votes. But you know

176
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not unreasonable. It could happen. We're planning for it

177
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>just in case. Under the new structure of voters won't

178
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 1>be asked to choose one winner. They'll just vote yes

179
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 1>or no on each series. I'll walk you through the

180
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 1>series in a minute and tell you what's going to

181
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.399
<v Speaker 1>happen here. If no nominee reaches ninety percent, goes to

182
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the show with the highest percentage of yes votes. McIntyre

183
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 1>till deadline. One of the things we had heard from

184
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 1>the community loud and clear was these are such disparate shows.

185
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.399
<v Speaker 1>It's hard sometimes to compare them, Like what is Saturday

186
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Night Live? How is that really the same as Colbert.

187
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 1>That's why this idea of the Area award made more sense. Again,

188
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's stupid. So let me walk you through this.

189
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Show, you want to give it an Emmy.

190
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 1>How about Kimmel? You want to give Kimmel an Emmy

191
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 1>just to stick it to the man. Probably, how about

192
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>John Oliver he almost always wins anyway. How about Colbert?

193
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.399
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna want to give Colbert a vote just to

194
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.159
<v Speaker 1>stick it to the man, right, And Saturday Night Live

195
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>did not have a great year at all, but I

196
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>could see them getting votes. So those are your five.

197
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Fallon's got to feel pretty dopey being left out,

198
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>and luckily Seth Myers isn't on this list. Make twelve

199
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty great again. But again I could see Oliver Kimmel

200
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and Colbert all getting one, And then what are we

201
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 1>even doing? Do you believe in the Mendela effect? I do,

202
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 1>because where I'm from, the guy from the Flight of

203
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the Concords used to be named Jermaine Clement, and at

204
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>some point the R went out of his first name,

205
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and his name in this universe where I'm speaking to

206
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you today is Jamaine Clement, and I'm telling you that

207
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.559
<v Speaker 1>was not always true, Jamaine Clement told Vulture New Zealand

208
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>political correctness came quite early. We still like to try

209
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and not insult whole groups of people, and we stuck

210
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>with that. We then joked, oh, it's cool to make

211
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>fun of trans people. Now we should do that. We've

212
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 1>not done that. But there was a reaction of political

213
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>correctness of going, okay, it's edgy, you know, make a

214
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>racist joke. But it wasn't edgy. It was just old.

215
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 1>It was just old fashion. And it's like that again.

216
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like this just looks like it's from nineteen seventy.

217
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I Eata Rodriguez spoke to the La Times about comedians

218
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>taking jabs at marginalized people. I said, yeah, there's no

219
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>balance when people say, oh, the trans people are so sensitive,

220
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 1>queer people are so sensitive because the people who were

221
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about them are at the top of the food chain.

222
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 1>If there was a trans comedian that was in the

223
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Forbes Top ten that could push back and give their

224
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>perspective and their point of view, then it wouldn't be

225
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>as horrible. But there's no balance. Sometimes that translates into violence.

226
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I got tired of that, and I decided to create

227
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the world I want to be in because I'm tired

228
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 1>of fighting. Comedy and music bring people together. Comedy is

229
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 1>very subjective. There should be a spectrum either love George

230
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Lopez or fluffey, and there's never any room for anything else.

231
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>And there are many voices in comedy. With Frankie Conunius,

232
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 1>we started a long time ago together. I thought This

233
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Fool was brilliant. It was a great representation of the city.

234
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:16.159
<v Speaker 1>The fact that it took time to be part of

235
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>something that represented La in the community in a way

236
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 1>that you never see. Is so special to what's happening

237
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>right now. He has got a new show called The Remix,

238
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to put all that stuff together and

239
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>celebrate us because no one else is going to do

240
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it for us. And that is your comedy news for today. Saturdays.

241
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>During the summer, I've been doing some deep dives on

242
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>single topics. Tomorrow we'll take a look at mega comedian

243
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Nate Pergetzi. See then,
