Speaker 1: Callaroga Shock Media.
Speaker 2: Hey man, I'm Jenny Mack with You're Daily cow Many News.
Tom Sagora was the guest on the Joe Rogan Experience. Oh,
I keep forgetting to mention. I've been watching Bad Thoughts
season two. I really like that show. The writing is
so crisp, with the production is pretty impressive too, Like,
the show looks great, but the idea is that Tom
Sagora has come up with for Bad Thoughts just fantastic.
I really enjoyed the sketch Black to School anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sagora was on with Rogan the topic the perceived decline
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: Eli is it's crazy. I'm so fascinated by the people
because I you know, we both have a lot of friends.
There a lot of people, and there's this There's two
types now, the ones who acknowledge that this is different
and then the delusional ones. Because people are I know
a lot of people who are like, yeah, of course
it's different. You're like, hey, you can see it. You
could see this as a different place than it was
several years ago. And then there's people who are like, no, man,
everything's fine. You're like, you're not in reality right now.
Speaker 1: Well, they probably had seven or eight boosters, so maybe
they're not thinking so straight.
Speaker 2: Established comedian Hollywood insider Nicki Glazer says she's not invited
to Taylor Swift's wedding. No way, No, Blazer told Entertainment Tonight,
of course, not me. No should be smart not to
invite me. Honestly, I look forward to the greeny helicopter
pictures that I see of it eventually, but that's all
I should get. Meanwhile, the Star tells us Nicki Glazer
is networking like crazy hoping to do a movie with
Jennifer Aniston. A source sells Jen is very aware of
Nicky's publicly professed admiration of her, and she knows she
has to pass the baton of being America's rom com
sweetheart to somebody. Oh please, who in Glazers camp plant
it that quote? Yeah, Jennifer Aniston is passing the baton
of being America's rom com sweetheart to forty one year
old Nikki Glee Stop. But Jen is also realistic about
what it takes to forge a decades long career in
the spotlight while keeping up a solid fan base who
will follow you and your work anywhere. The Star reminds
us Glazer got her big break at twenty twenty four
at the roast of Tom Brady. If you heard Friday Show,
I shared some comments with Nicki Glazer, who I don't
think wants to be a roast comedian. The source says,
if Nicki keeps pushing herself out of her comfort zone,
She's gonna have a cheerleader and a potential co star in Jen.
With the balls in Nicky's court right now, as she
makes the first steps towards translating her comedy and award
show fame Stop Award Show, fame, the Golden Globes twice
stop It's Joe Koy has hosted the Golden Globes once.
Do I need to remind you that I have a clip?
I can play the clip? It is something bigger, like
starring in major films, which is Nicki's goal at the moment.
No Way, No. In October, Variety announced Nicki Glazer will
write and star in an edgy romantic comedy. The sore says,
Jen is watching with great interest to see how Nicki
handles this challenge and rolls with the punk. Nobody's more
aware than Jen that the road can get bumpy and
if Nikki shows real resilience in staying power and she
navigates a changing Hollywood, only then is she going to
get Jen's full endorsement and potential collaboration. Who is putting
this out of the universe? Oh my goodness, such nonsense.
Star Trek R Winner Patton Oswald was discussing Bill Maher
sucking up to the President of the United States. Here's
Patent speaking with Dean Obadallah.
Speaker 1: The reason that Trump is turning on Bill Maher is
because Bill tried to, I'm sure, with good intentions, tried
to placate him, and you can't do that with him
by defying Trump. This is gonna sound kind of weird.
Colbert and Kimmel, Yeah, Trump hates them, but he hates
them because they don't love him. He wants them to
love him, and then the minute they love him, he
has zero respect for them because deep down he hates himself.
So you just have to stick with your guns and
just go, yeah, this guy sucks. You know, in the
long run, it will it will pay out, And anyone,
anyone who does business with Trump, you would just think
basic greed would make you want to defy him, cause
anyone that does business with him, you get destroyed.
Speaker 2: Send your letters to Paton Oswald. Rick and Morty might
become a movie. I still haven't watched the last season.
The first season after they changed the voice of Rick
was kind of flat. Though it was a while. You
could have ingested that show into my veins. And I
still haven't watched all of last season yet, or any
of last season yet. And I think there's a new
season about to come out, or might even be out now.
I don't know. I'm talking about making a movie version
of this why lot details I've not been shared for
the film that is in early development. In twenty twenty three,
series creator Dan Herman told The Hollywood Reporter, my philosophy
would just be take a Rick and Morty adventure and
spend a bunch of extra money on it and make
it ninety minutes long, not to try to earn its
future status by virtual of canonical dramatic tone shifts or
anything like that, but rather just make it a super
badass episode of Rick and Morty. Derek Stroop to WRIF
why he lives in New York City despite being from Alabama,
Yrk said, I mean it was truly just a business move.
I mean, can you imagine if I said it was
for quality flying. I mean, that wouldn't make it any sense.
Like I said, when you have this accent and life
on stage, people try to put you in a box
all the time. They think he got pretty pins. So
I lived in Denver for nine years and then I
moved here to New York City just to show people
that I'm not doing some pitchfork and overall type of comedy.
I'm like Bill Burr, raised in the woods. He's had
to fight the perception of being a Southern comic. And
you know, I am a Southern comic. I'm a country dude.
But that's not my whole story. I've got the type
of comedy that people from anywhere can enjoy. It's not
like I can get up there and do a bit
about gardening squash and lose the crowd. You know, it's
pretty down the middle stuff for everybody. He's been a
comedy mentor to Nate Berghatzy. Now Nate Burghatzy discussed his
own comedy mentor. Nate said, I remember seeing Bill Burr
when I first started. He was a little older than me,
and I watched him get Letterman and all these check marks.
I was starting comedy and he was seeing this guy
and it was so funny, and then the world was
figuring out how funny was Because Nate think being clean
hindered his career. He said, when it was starting to
come up in two thousand and eight, everything was going
that edgy or rude. I thought, if I was a
comedian in the eighties or nineties, I probably would have
had a quicker assent as I fit in with that era.
Being clean out auditioned for an R rated comedy, think
I'm not gonna feel comfortable doing this. That was hard,
because you want to do those movies. I did struggle
with it. I was very tempted, but then I thought,
let me stay in my lane and if anything comes,
I've definitely got some lines. I wouldn't cross cursing anything
sexual in my standup. Even though it's clean, it's adult topics.
I could ride this line. Rick Ferguson said he made
a decision to build an entire show around comedy and
personal stories rather than in politics. He told the View,
I'm sick of people that I agree with, never mind
people I don't agree with. I'm just like let's take
an hour and a half. I'll go on stage. I'll
tell you a bunch of jokes, do some stuff, tell
some stories. The end of it, all the stuff you're
angry about is still there. You can have it back.
I'm not taking it from you. Was a choice I
made for myself, like could I do it? Could I
fill a whole show with no politics? And it turns
out I can't. Margaret Chow says, I hate Donald Trump.
I hate how stupid he is. I hate how stupid.
We made the most important job in the world, which
is the presidency. We allow for this idiotic, incompetent, incoherent,
incontinent narcissist to side every day whether we should live
or die. It's a nightmare. We as a world are
forced to be led by this monstrosity. It's really funny
to me. Also, it's really horrendous. The greatest hope is
that he's impeached, removed, and then imprisoned. I do see
a way of that happening. Send your letters to Margaret
Show from The Toronto Guardian. Their Tragedy Plus Time, a
series where they speak to local comedians. Today it's David
Seely David practices old school, authentic, unfiltered and honest comedy
shaped by folks like at Red Fox, Richard Pryor, Eddie
Murphy and Dave Chappelle. Could have left Eddie out of that.
Eddie's a Richard Pryor cover actor as great as he is.
Favorite comedian growing up, Eddie Murphy. I get it. Then
you get a little older and you watch Richard Pryor
sets and you go, oh, I see what Eddie is doing.
Favorite comedian right now, Dave Chappelle, what do you like
about Toronto? Toronto is at all from legal weed on
every corner, at least five different kinds of pink eye,
and a hockey team that's been practicing social distancing with
the Stanley Cup. Ali Sadik talked about crowd work. He
is at not a slapstick and I do do crowd work,
and you have to be able to follow storylines on
I don't. People can do it. That's how I know
Game of Thrones is so big. People watch movies. If
you're coming to see a shows, be on time. That's
the biggest thing. The later we start, the shorter my
show gets for you. And I prefer to do anywhere
from an hour to an hour thirty. Dean Cole told
the La Times about crowd work. He said, if something
happens while I'm doing my stuff, then fine, But I'm
not going to create a crowd work environment. If it happens,
it happens, but I'm not going to purposely create it.
And I mean teach his own to do that. And
there's some people. We are very funny at it, and
there's some people like what are you doing? And for
a lot of audience members, I feel like they're being
tricked a lot of times because a lot of comedians
they get up there and they're doing a meet and greet. Hey,
what's your name? What do you do for a living?
How many kids you got? Do that at the meet
and greet? Why are you standing up here for forty
five minutes getting to know everybody?
Speaker 1: Four?
Speaker 2: Where are your jokes? If people like it, you know,
what do you do about it? But I'm old school
with the craft. I like written comedy. I like storytelling.
I like hearing something I've never heard before. I don't
like sitting in the audience laughing at somebody's name or
what they do for a living, or who they're with.
My brain isn't learning that way. I mean, people love it.
It's a younger audience that I think really love it.
Even though older people love it, don't get me wrong,
but the majority, I think it's a younger on Granted,
there's an audience for that. You can give me a
crowd work. Let's hear about you. Who are you? What
happened to you today? That's what's funny. While of the
great comics got sitcoms, why because you can listen to
their jokes and see the show, and then they go
create the show off what they were talking about. You
can see this. So when you have a comic and
they leave and you go, who was that person? You
can't remember the comics name, you know what I mean.
I think it's just let people know who you are,
because that's what makes you unique. You can't just go
out and tell joke after joke after joke. Anybody could
tell jokes, but it's who's telling the joke that makes
it great. That that's your comedy news for today. If
