Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Fun One Today. Hey there, I'm Jenny Mack with your
Speaker 2: daily comedy news. Shane Gillis gave us some more insight
Speaker 2: about his discourse with Nick Saban. You may recall that
Speaker 2: a head of Notre Name's first round college football playoff game,
Speaker 2: Shane made some jokes about Alabama. Nick Saban didn't appreciate it.
Speaker 2: So it seems, let's listen to the original clip caught
Speaker 2: him a cheater earlier.
Speaker 1: I was just joking around. I don't think the SEC
Speaker 1: paid players eever. Period. I'm joking.
Speaker 3: Not a fun show, no serious. Alabama Jones is very serious.
Speaker 3: I'm not serious. I do believe in integrity. I was
Speaker 3: trying to run the program that way so players had
Speaker 3: a better chance to be successful.
Speaker 2: Money in the.
Speaker 3: NFL than any old school sixty one plays in the league.
Speaker 3: That was how we cheated redeveloped player.
Speaker 2: We recruit. So sorry. Jane was wondering if Saban was
Speaker 2: actually mad he spoke about it. Here you're gonna hear
Speaker 2: some dropouts in the audio, and that's where the f
Speaker 2: bombs were.
Speaker 1: He was like, what do you think about the game,
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know if fick Saban cheated.
Speaker 1: It was just a fulls faz. It was so good though,
Speaker 1: I mean that I get I'd like to explain that
Speaker 1: because that was so After I said that, we had
Speaker 1: to go into the stadium to sit at the desk.
Speaker 1: Then I got in there and right before we go on,
Speaker 1: he looks at me and he's like, I heard what
Speaker 1: you said, and I was like holy, And then Herb
Speaker 1: Street and McAfee were like, he's just breaking balls, dude.
Speaker 1: He loves messing with guys like he's literally just I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, off, put him back. I would
Speaker 1: have never done that if I thought he was serious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they told me he was, so I started with him.
Speaker 1: And then as soon as we get done, I tell
Speaker 1: herber Street and McAfee, I'm like, bro, he was definitely serious,
Speaker 1: and they were like, no way, he was serious. Go
Speaker 1: talk to him. So I went up to him after news, like.
Speaker 3: You think the SEC dominated because we cheated, that's bullshit,
Speaker 3: and he likes are helping.
Speaker 1: But then so he was still on the stage and
Speaker 1: I was on the field, so after he yelled at me,
Speaker 1: I had to help him down, and he looked around
Speaker 1: to see if anybody else could help him, but I
Speaker 1: had to help him down.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to Nate BERGETSI. A gym will be named after him.
Speaker 2: Donaldson Christian Academy Gymnasium will be named in honor of
Speaker 2: Nate's on January seventeenth. Nate annually hosts a fundraiser golf
Speaker 2: tournament for the school, and Nate and his wife recently
Speaker 2: made a donation of one point one five million dollars
Speaker 2: towards the DC eight to go towards construction of an
Speaker 2: athletics indoor practice facility. Nice job all around. Newsday caught
Speaker 2: up with David Tel turning sixty. Dave says, I'm surprised
Speaker 2: I made it. I never thought it was gonna happen.
Speaker 2: In terms of comedy, I'm the oldest guy in the
Speaker 2: room now. When I started out, there was always some
Speaker 2: old grizzled comic in the corner, and now it's me.
Speaker 2: It's great to be able to see if I can
Speaker 2: still follow the new comics. I'm kind of like the
Speaker 2: old buffalo and the wolves are circling. Well, this is
Speaker 2: what I do, and I'll keep doing it for as
Speaker 2: long as I can. Dave addressed the good buzz on
Speaker 2: his twenty twenty four special Hot Cross Buns. I had
Speaker 2: that way up my list, and Tel said it kind
Speaker 2: of blew me away when it hit like that. I
Speaker 2: guess it's kind of fun to watch someone who's melting
Speaker 2: down and angry, unless you're in the subway, then it's scary. Newsday,
Speaker 2: that's a Long Island newspaper, talk to a Tale about
Speaker 2: what it was like when he lived there. I used
Speaker 2: to live there too, and I agree with what he
Speaker 2: says here at Tel said, I grew up on Long
Speaker 2: Island when you could get from the Lincoln Tunnel to
Speaker 2: Roosevelt Field in under three hours. That should be about
Speaker 2: a twenty five minute drive, maybe thirty minutes. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not that anymore. Tel says. Now that Newsday asked
Speaker 2: to tell about being revered by so many fellow comedians,
Speaker 2: Dave says, I don't say, because I'm one of them
Speaker 2: and we're all in it together. I think a lot
Speaker 2: of them like to watch me on stage because I'm
Speaker 2: pretty self destructive. I'll tell a joke that works, then
Speaker 2: tweak it and twist it until it fails, and then
Speaker 2: I get angry with myself and go off on tangents.
Speaker 2: I guess it's fun to see the ramblings of a
Speaker 2: madman mass. I've caught up with Kathy Griffin, who said,
Speaker 2: I am in the Guinness Book of World Records. I've
Speaker 2: done more TV streaming comedy specials than any comedian male
Speaker 2: or female, living or dad. And don't talk to me
Speaker 2: about the boys now. I think the transcription went sideways
Speaker 2: here because it says here, I'll read the two sentences,
Speaker 2: but then I'll tell you about the spelling. It says
Speaker 2: I love Dave Chappelle, but he doesn't come close. Matt
Speaker 2: Rice is the hot thing now, but I write my
Speaker 2: own stuff. But Chappelle doesn't have the E at the end,
Speaker 2: So that makes me think she actually said Matt Rife
Speaker 2: and not Matt Rice anyway. Spelling a side her comment
Speaker 2: on Matt Rife, he's the hot thing now, but I
Speaker 2: write my own stuff. Is she implying that Matt does
Speaker 2: not write his own stuff? Kathy says, you know, these
Speaker 2: other comics have three four openers, but not me. Do
Speaker 2: other comedians have three four openers? I've seen some pretty
Speaker 2: big headliners, usually one opener, sometimes two. Who's touring with
Speaker 2: four openers? Kathy says, you better be on time for
Speaker 2: the show, because I go right on at eight o'clock.
Speaker 2: I do two full hours. In fact, I do two
Speaker 2: hours when I'm a good girl, and they do two
Speaker 2: hours and fifteen minutes when I'm a bad girl. Mass
Speaker 2: Live was curious what happens during those fifteen minutes. Kathy,
Speaker 2: you know, if the audience is extra good, I make
Speaker 2: them pay. I make them pay the price by doing
Speaker 2: those few more minutes. But I love it. It's the
Speaker 2: only thing that gets me through. Even though all those
Speaker 2: years I was blacklisted, I was still writing stuff and
Speaker 2: planning stuff. I pitched every game show you can think of,
Speaker 2: every talk show you can think of, every sitcom you
Speaker 2: can think of, every reality show. Nobody bit not one
Speaker 2: single soul in seven years. Thank God for real live
Speaker 2: people that buy tickets with real life money, because now
Speaker 2: they're all eating crap and they're like, oh, Kathy Griffin
Speaker 2: just played fifty Cities. I have no love for my
Speaker 2: own industry, but I have nothing but love for the
Speaker 2: actual audience. The New York Times are reviewed at Leanne
Speaker 2: Morgan's recent book What in the World, A Southern Woman's
Speaker 2: Guide to Laughing at Life's unexpected curveballs and beautiful blessings,
Speaker 2: and they write and you may have questions, For example,
Speaker 2: is this one of those top tier comic memoirs like
Speaker 2: those from Tina Fey, Trevor Noah, and Steve Martin. The
Speaker 2: answer no, but it's got a frazzle charm and it works.
Speaker 2: Is it as funny as Morgan stand up? Not quite
Speaker 2: a hard thing about trying to be funny on the page,
Speaker 2: as posted in front of audience, is that you lose
Speaker 2: your delivery. Morgan's sweet tone southern accent has bestowed on
Speaker 2: her a world class delivery system. Gabe Iglesias talked to
Speaker 2: the Hollywood Reporter and said, nowadays people can take anything
Speaker 2: you say wrong, and that's the time we're living in.
Speaker 2: He used to worry about it. I was always looking
Speaker 2: on my phone reading messages. But the more I continue
Speaker 2: to do this, the more I realized that as long
Speaker 2: as you do what you said you were going to do,
Speaker 2: your fan base is going to be there. The people
Speaker 2: who disagree are the ones on the outside making all
Speaker 2: that noise. I can't worry about people who are not
Speaker 2: even fans, who don't understand what I do and how
Speaker 2: I do it, because people will watch a clip online
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they have an opinion. They don't
Speaker 2: realize that this person's been doing this for almost thirty years,
Speaker 2: and maybe there's a reason why they've been around so long.
Speaker 2: I've lost a lot of time worrying, and nothing that
Speaker 2: I ever worried about happened. The Holly reporter asked Gabe
Speaker 2: if he tweaks the material for where he's playing in
Speaker 2: the country, and he says, I'm always listening to see
Speaker 2: how things go over, but I don't change something. For example,
Speaker 2: he has a bit about guns. I don't try to
Speaker 2: make it so California's cool with it. I try to
Speaker 2: push this idea of Look, you might not agree with it,
Speaker 2: but let me tell you why I did it. I'm
Speaker 2: not just going to throw that out there. I'm letting
Speaker 2: you know that I start off the same way as you,
Speaker 2: and this is what happened to me that led me
Speaker 2: to go another way again, reacting to situations. So even
Speaker 2: if people disagree with certain ideas, you can't do agree
Speaker 2: with the person being affected by what's happening around them
Speaker 2: that led them to that. I don't think I'm losing
Speaker 2: anybody from that. When I say I'm a registered gun owner.
Speaker 2: I've had people in the crowd boo too. All I
Speaker 2: ask is you listen to my story, and if you
Speaker 2: still feel like booing me after I tell you my story,
Speaker 2: I welcome it. But to boom me without hearing the
Speaker 2: full thing makes you look like the bad person. So
Speaker 2: at least give me the opportunity to share with you
Speaker 2: why I'm this way, and then people are like, all right,
Speaker 2: and at the end of it, I've yet to get
Speaker 2: another boo. The thirty five seat Theater Public Displays of Altadena,
Speaker 2: known as PDA, was in the path of the Eton
Speaker 2: wildfire and was burned down. Some have called it the
Speaker 2: unofficial home of LA's a clown scene. Located in a
Speaker 2: strip mall alongside a liquor store in a pizza shop,
Speaker 2: the micro theater opened in twenty twenty two after a
Speaker 2: crowdfunding campaign. Ria Bamford recorded her twenty twenty three special
Speaker 2: Local act there. The owners are trying to figure out
Speaker 2: what happens next. Right now they are canceling things, trying
Speaker 2: to refund people. They've launched a crowdfunding campaign that's already
Speaker 2: raised over fifteen thousand dollars to try to find a
Speaker 2: new venue. A post on the GoFundMe page says, with
Speaker 2: your generosity and time, we pledged to rebuild PDA and
Speaker 2: come back stronger, more resilient, and ready to serve our
Speaker 2: community once again. While I was on the trip to Antarctica,
Speaker 2: Just for Last Vancouver announced a pretty cool lineup. I'm
Speaker 2: psyched to see that the reconstituted Just for Laughs is

Speaker 2: If you are a longtime listener, you may remember this story.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court of Canada has rejected a request to
Speaker 2: hear an appeal by Sylvie Gabriel. Gabriel had been seeking
Speaker 2: to reverse a lower court decision that dismissed her lawsuits
Speaker 2: seeking compensation from comedian Mike Ward. Jeremy Gabriel had become
Speaker 2: a celebrity in Quebec as a teenager after he appeared
Speaker 2: alongside Celine Dion and the Pope. Ward had mocked Gabriel
Speaker 2: in his act between twenty ten and twenty thirteen, joking
Speaker 2: at one point that he thought the boy's illness was
Speaker 2: terminal and people were only nice to him because they
Speaker 2: thought the boy would soon die. Canadian Supreme Court found
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one that Ward's comments did not amount
Speaker 2: to discrimination under Quebec's rights. Shorter from chort All The
