00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Daily Comedy News. We're about to find out if Nicki

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Glazer can take a punch. We'll talk about that in

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a second, but let me set the scene here. It's

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>seventy five degrees and the humidity's thirty four percent, and

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>it's Sonny out for the first time of month. So

7
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>if you're like Johnny Mack, do I hear birds? You do?

8
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Do I hear planes? I do? Do I hear dogs?

9
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>You might? Because this, to my friends, is our first

10
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>pool side edition of Daily Comedy News this year. It

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>is too nice to sit in the basement, all right,

12
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>let's get to it. Nicki Glazer was at the time

13
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>one hundred Summit on Wednesday. She said there was a

14
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>joke she told during the Golden Globes that she worried

15
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>went too far. Niki explains, I didn't say anything that

16
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>was like calling anyone ugly or fat at roast you

17
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>say really cruel things, that's the job. She conceded. She

18
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 1>was initially concerned about a joke aimed at Emilia Paris

19
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>star Selena Gomez and her fiance Benny Blanco that she

20
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>ended up texting Blanco to get his permission to go

21
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>ahead with the joke. Quoting Nicki, I said that Selena

22
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Gomez is here because of Emilia Perez and Benny Blanco

23
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>is here because of the genie who granted him that wish,

24
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and looking back, I'm like, that could seem mean, but

25
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 1>everybody's like he's not attractive enough for her. For me,

26
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I've never looked at them and thought that. I feel

27
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 1>like she won too. I think he's really cool. So

28
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>because that joke didn't actually come from a mean place,

29
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 1>I felt like it was okay for me to say.

30
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 1>If you pay a lot of attention to these Nicki

31
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Glazer interviews, there is definitely signs of mental struggles here.

32
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>She's pretty open about it, and you do worry about her.

33
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Nicki said, I'm happier than I've ever been, but I'm

34
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 1>not happy by any means. I'm so grateful, but i

35
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>still have a lot of self loathing that's almost getting

36
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 1>boring to talk about. At this point, she spoke about

37
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>her current hot streak. I know it. I'll get taken

38
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 1>away at some point because it has to. That's just

39
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 1>the way things work. And when that part of my

40
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>career happens. I don't want to be sad about that,

41
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>so I just don't put too much worth in it.

42
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>But I'm enjoying it now. None of that is the

43
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>controversy that I alluded to at the beginning. Nicki said

44
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 1>she was more critical of Trump than usual at a

45
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 1>recent show in Canada because she usually holds back in

46
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 1>the US to not alienate fans who might disagree with

47
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 1>her politics. But she told the audience at the time

48
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>thing she got worried that she could get backlash. Oh

49
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, what if I said gets recorded and sent out.

50
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I couldn't be let back into the country. There's

51
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>just no scenario where the headline is US government bans

52
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Nicki Glazer from re entering country. I mean, that would

53
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 1>just be such a massive scandal story. There's no chance

54
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>of that happening, Nikki said, I'm not trying to be

55
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>an alarmist, but I definitely don't think that I'm immune

56
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>to having some kind of backlash. Look at the other

57
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>places that have dictators. I have a friend Jennif Friedman,

58
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>who posted on Instagram that she was performing in Vancouver

59
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>and when she came back, customs asked her what she did.

60
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>She said she was a comedian, and they asked her

61
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>if she talked about politics had made fun of the president.

62
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 1>They let her go, but they asked, or I could

63
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>be put on some kind of list because of some

64
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 1>story I reposted. Look at other places that have dictators.

65
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 1>You're not allowed to say things about them. She then

66
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>joked about being sexually attracted to Trump to get on

67
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>his good side. I don't know where you're laughing about.

68
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm one hundred percent real about this and it'll save

69
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>me when I'm on the gallows. Send your letters to

70
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Nikki Glazer. John mulaney has come under fire for a

71
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 1>quote very controversial joke. This from the British tabloids. The

72
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>very controversial joke was about the deaths of Gene Hackman

73
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and Hackman's wife. The joke in question and told much

74
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>better by John mulaney. Scientists are now like, we believe

75
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>dinosaurs were killed sixty six million years ago by an asteroid.

76
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Stop you don't know that. We don't even know how

77
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Gene Hackman and his wife died and we found their

78
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 1>whole bodies with full clothes on one week after the event.

79
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>How about that? Santa Fe police Hello, Press conference number

80
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>four hundred seventy. We now believe that a rat bit

81
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Missus Hackman turning her hands into mummy hands. Slow down.

82
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't know what happened that again, told much better

83
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 1>by John mulaney. Is the very controversial joke? Really okay?

84
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Very controversial? One Reddit user called the comments sickening and

85
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>posted just me thinking that Gene Hackman bit was just

86
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>a tad sickening. Another redditur wrote only John could get

87
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>away with a Gene Hackman joke this soon really okay, guys.

88
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Late nighter watched the millenniy show. I didn't. I Wednesday

89
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>night is volleyball night, and I made the mistake of

90
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I went for a run. Johnny Mack is out of shape,

91
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 1>and I will cop to being out of shape when

92
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm out of shape. And I'm out of shape. So

93
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I went for a run Wednesday afternoon because the weather's nice,

94
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and then I played volleyball and I was so gassed,

95
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>so there was no chance of me watching a show

96
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 1>from ten to eleven PM. I went to bed. But

97
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Late Nighter they watch Mullenie's show. They are very positive

98
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>about the show, and it sounds like maybe, perhaps possibly

99
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Millenia has taken my notes. Late nighter, says Mullani waited

100
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 1>until halfway through the show to explain that guest Rita

101
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Marino wasn't there. Apparently Rita wasn't feeling well, but he

102
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>never addressed the other missing panelist, which was to be

103
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>dinosaur expert doctor Luis Chiappe, who had been announced earlier

104
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>this week. Maybe John took my note that having seventy

105
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 1>five people on it once doesn't work. Who knows. Mllenie

106
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>opened the show announcing the time and temperature sixty two

107
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>degrees in LA while snow went past his studio windows.

108
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Mulaney explained this is his Christmas show since the show

109
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>won't be on in December, and he felt like it.

110
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 1>See that's funny, that's like an old style Letterman inspired bit.

111
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>So was the Christmas Show, complete with twinking lights, tinsel,

112
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and a disheveled white beard. Hobo, one of the guests

113
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 1>he did have on io at a Berry. She liked

114
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>the craziness. She compared the show to Crack, but in

115
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>a good way. Okay, we all know crack is bad. Yes,

116
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 1>we can all agree that crack is something bad, But

117
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 1>consider this Crack gave us funk music. Crack gave us

118
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Tyren Bighams Crackavius Whitney Houston saying, first of all, let's

119
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>get one thing straight. Crack is cheap. The spirit of crack,

120
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>one could argue, has also given us this show. John

121
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Mulaney Sober and a Father is basically spiritually on crack.

122
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>To be clear, I think this is a good thing.

123
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>This man shows up dressed like a pentecostal deacon son

124
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>headed to the twenty eighteen NBA draft all he'd end

125
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 1>up a fifth round reject, and yet he puts out

126
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>some of the sharpest comedy happening right now. She described

127
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Mlaney as a gift to comedy. He's also maybe probably insane.

128
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>But I think this is good and I think crack

129
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 1>is bad. Now what's interesting is I did several googles

130
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 1>of the term Malinie Conan. Not much came up. Jessica

131
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Kerson has a new special out on Hulu today. It

132
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 1>is called I'm the Man. Now. The Hulu publicist didn't

133
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 1>send me anything, but I will not be stopped. Hulu publicists,

134
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>you keep your comedy special secret, and I'll keep outing them,

135
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Jessica told The Daily beast. I've been doing stand up

136
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 1>for over twenty years, and this special is truly special.

137
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 1>My stand up has always stood out to the audience

138
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 1>as I've performed for my fans, had especially in other comics.

139
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm the Man is me embracing everything I am, the

140
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 1>crazy voices, the characters, and the fact that I'm fearless

141
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 1>on stage. Michelle Wolf had a surprise release, not really

142
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a special, a fifteen minute clip where she talked about

143
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 1>her controversial twenty eighteen set at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

144
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 1>The clip is called Dinner Time. It has premiered on

145
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.959
<v Speaker 1>punch Up Live, a digital platform for live comedy. You

146
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>can watch it for free. Wolf explains there might not

147
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>be a comedian at the Correspondent's Dinner this year, but

148
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the good news is I have some leftovers. I've been

149
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>holding onto the set since twenty twenty two, and with

150
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>everything going on, I felt like it was the right

151
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>moment to share it exclusively on punch Up, a platform

152
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>where comedians can release their own uncensored material without the

153
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 1>constraints of any network or streamer. Drud Carmichael will have

154
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>another stand up special for HBO. This one is called

155
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Don't Be Gay. Nina Rosenstein is the executive vice president

156
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>for HBO Programming. She says in a press release, this

157
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>new special continues to build on the raw, intimate, and

158
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 1>emotionally honest impact that his last special, Roathaniel and his

159
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>recent series on the network at drud Carmichael Reality Show

160
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>had no quote from Carmichael though. Anyway. Don't Be Gay

161
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>on HBO Saturday, May twenty fourth, at ten pm. At

162
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow's Brett Goldstein Special. We'll talk about that tomorrow. Good

163
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>job by the birds giving me. I hope you can

164
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 1>hear the birds giving me some atmosphere as we do

165
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the show poolside today. Now it's so weird putting the

166
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>show together because when I put together Thursday Show, there

167
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>was nothing. Now behind the scenes, I teach a college

168
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>class on Thursday morning, so I often like to pretape Fridays,

169
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and as the week goes, Friday tends to be one

170
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>of the lesser listen two days. I guess people get

171
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 1>into weekend mode. So I often, when I'm teaching, will

172
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>pre tape Friday show and I'll you know, I'll squirrel

173
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 1>stuff away all week. And there was just really nothing

174
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 1>to fill Thursday show. So I had to pull. Boy,

175
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>these birds are getting done. Thank you birds. I had

176
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 1>to pull most of what was going to be today's

177
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 1>show into yesterday's show just to get a show out,

178
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and it was a short show as it was now today. Conversely,

179
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.759
<v Speaker 1>it took me two hours to put this together. There's

180
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 1>enough for three shows, and I'm probably gonna sit here

181
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>at poolside recording the entire weekend because there's so much.

182
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's head on over to Gossip Corner. This is sad

183
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.039
<v Speaker 1>TMZ reporting Fortune Femster and her wife Jacqueline Smith recently

184
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>separated and Fortune is planning a file for divorce. According

185
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to TMZ, it's unclear what caused the split or when

186
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>they separated. TMZ thinks it's pretty fresh. This is sad

187
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 1>to me because wasn't one of fortune special all about

188
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 1>getting married to Jack's. Wasn't that like the whole cornerstone

189
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 1>of it. So that's kind of sad. They were married

190
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>in October of twenty twenty. Also on Gossip Corner, now,

191
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>kids are listening to this with you. For some reason,

192
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it stopped. We don't want the kids to listen to

193
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 1>this next section. They're just gonna have questions. So I'll

194
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.159
<v Speaker 1>give you a second hero bebble. Okay, kids are gone.

195
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Catherine Ryan has spoken out about more sexual misconduct in

196
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the comedy industry. She claimed one male comedian showed other

197
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>cast mates intimate videos of himself having sex with women.

198
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Catherine explained the incident happened while backstage in the green

199
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 1>room of a big show. She did not identify the comedian,

200
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 1>but did say that he isn't British. She explained, I've

201
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 1>been in green rooms were very famous male comedians. One

202
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 1>male comedian in particular, I will say it's not British.

203
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 1>He was very famous, very rich, very powerful, and he

204
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 1>was in a room on a big show. I was

205
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 1>one of the few women on that bill, maybe three women,

206
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and there was a young female comedian who was starting out.

207
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>It was next to him, and he was with all

208
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 1>the lads showing pictures and videos on his phone that

209
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>he had taken of himself having sex with women, so

210
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>like really intimate photos, intimate videos, and he was showing them.

211
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>His junk was in a lot of these videos. She

212
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>felt very uncomfortable about that, and she came to my

213
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>dressing room to be like, oh, I didn't like him

214
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 1>showing me that, and she's about to go on stage.

215
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 1>She's very new. I was even quite new at the time,

216
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, stuff like that, and being a minority in

217
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that situation which female comedians, especially when I was starting out,

218
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>we're always minorities in every green room, every dressing room.

219
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>There are things we can't do that the boys can do.

220
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 1>We can't take a night bus, we can't sleep on

221
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 1>the floor with four other comedians starting out. A lot

222
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 1>of times we have children that we have to look after,

223
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.399
<v Speaker 1>and then we get fans who could like kill us.

224
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>She then talked about Nicki Glazer. Nicki Glazer, who's doing

225
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 1>amazing and American hosting the Golden Globes for the second

226
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>year in a row. She'd make a joke of it

227
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram. Should write, come kill me in Cincinnati at

228
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 1>seven pm, Come kill me in San Diego at eight pm.

229
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>We'd have to publish where we are at night, and

230
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>we're always alone. It's a bit different. When I started

231
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 1>doing television, male audience members could be weird with me.

232
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I had this following of very strange lone wolf men.

233
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Before I had a tour manager that'd follow me onto

234
00:10:58.279 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the train and keep talking to me. I was trying

235
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to be polite and boundary, but some of those interactions

236
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>were scary. I've been locking in part, I think because

237
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>of the guys I came up with. Joe lystt, Rob

238
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Beckett and Ramesher Rag and Aathan are just really really

239
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>good guys. Boy, this is all just terrible switching gears.

240
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>If you're in Boston, Paul Reiser is at the Cabot

241
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>in Beverly tonight. Paul says he doesn't have to do

242
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>stand up. I just love performing. I don't love airports.

243
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't love connecting flights. I just tell my agent's

244
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>got to be direct flight, not too late, because I

245
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 1>like to be in pajamas at nine to forty five

246
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>if possible. Paul's my kind of guy. I've been on

247
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Stranger Things, which is big and great to be in,

248
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>but has nothing to do with me being on stage

249
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 1>for an hour and a half. That's the fun, that's

250
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 1>the joy. I love the order of stand up. I

251
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 1>love how ephemeral it is now. The goalposts are always

252
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>moving and you never quite get it, and if you

253
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>do get it, it's gone the next day. It's like, wow,

254
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>what was that? Paul says it has a hard time

255
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>watching his old stuff, but when I do see a

256
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>glimpse of it, there are themes of things I'm still questioning.

257
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>What's also great is the audience now comes to see me.

258
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not nineteen seventy eight years greedy Number eleven Bull Riser.

259
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>If people are coming and they bought a ticket and

260
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 1>they came to see me, it's because they know me

261
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>from something probably man about you. It really does feel

262
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 1>like getting together with old friends. The audience thinks, I

263
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 1>know this guy who grew up together, and we got

264
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 1>married around the same time, we had kids around the

265
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 1>same time, and the same warmth that I think they

266
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>bring I feel towards them. And maybe younger people come too,

267
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're confused. Wait, why is the doctor from Stranger

268
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Things trying to be funny? Save some more of that

269
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.320
<v Speaker 1>for the weekend. A Memphis comedian is going for a

270
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 1>world record this weekend. Benny Elbows is working on a

271
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>solo stand up show that could last forty plus hours

272
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to break the record for longest continuous solo comedy stand

273
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 1>up routine in history. I think Bob Marley had that.

274
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 1>The comedian Bob Marlin had that record for a while

275
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>we actually broadcast it live on serious if my memory holds,

276
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 1>Benny Elbows says, for a while, it's a tour guide.

277
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It did tours in Memphis. It was a ghost tour guide,

278
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>like a haunted tour, not like a signed up for

279
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 1>the tour. Never saw me again, that's funny. The plan

280
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 1>was for him to take the stage at six o'clock

281
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>this morning at the High Tone Cafe on Cleveland Avenue.

282
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>He's aiming to break the current record of forty hours

283
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>eight minutes. His game plan. I think the most important

284
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 1>thing is going to be caffeine. There are rules according

285
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.879
<v Speaker 1>to the Guinness World Record. I can repeat jokes, but

286
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>only every four hours. So right now I have a

287
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>word document with like sixteen seventeen thousand words. It's twenty

288
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.799
<v Speaker 1>six pages. Another big one is that we need ten

289
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>people in the audience at all times. That's hard. How

290
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.519
<v Speaker 1>will we make sure there are ten people in the audience.

291
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.960
<v Speaker 1>He's hoping that this press helps. Well, if you're in Memphis,

292
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.639
<v Speaker 1>go help this guy out. Hopefully you download the podcast

293
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>at three or five am when I dropped it, and

294
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you ran right over there to hook up that six

295
