Speaker 2: Well, funny Friday, it' going to go the way good
Speaker 2: Dave Baltimore thought, Sam. Yikes, Gilbert Godfried will have a
Speaker 2: new album. Gilbert passed away in twenty twenty two. Eight
Speaker 2: hundred Pound Guerrilla reported on Gilbert's new album saying Gilbert
Speaker 2: never put out a comedy album because, according to widow
Speaker 2: Dana Godfrid on her Instagram page, Gilbert didn't want to
Speaker 2: use up as material. But there is a CDDVD called
Speaker 2: Dirty Jokes, which to me is an album, but okay whatever.

Speaker 2: first album or second album title to be announced. The
Speaker 2: album will feature material that was shot for the twenty
Speaker 2: seventeen documentary Gilbert. In support of the release, there will

Speaker 2: in Rochester. The album will be released both digitally and
Speaker 2: on vinyl November thirteenth. Matt Rife going back on tour.
Speaker 2: We never talk about Matt Rife around here, you know.
Speaker 2: He also announced a new feature project. Matt Rife will
Speaker 2: be among the leads of Rolling Loud, which is an
Speaker 2: R rated comedy co produced by Live Nation Productions, which
Speaker 2: will film at the hip hop festival also called Rolling
Speaker 2: Loud that's in Miami in December. Rolling Loud inspired by
Speaker 2: the true story of an overprotective father who makes the
Speaker 2: worst parenting decision of his life when he sneaks his
Speaker 2: thirteen year old son into Rolling Loud, the world's biggest
Speaker 2: hip hop festival, setting off a chaotic adventure. With his
Speaker 2: reckless coworker and an eccentric festival volunteers, they navigate wild crowds, security,
Speaker 2: and copywriting rule of three their own family dynamics. Rife's
Speaker 2: tour dates won't be announced until later this year. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: on gossip Corner, Rife is being criticized for his jaw
Speaker 2: fillers to the point where fans are saying they can't
Speaker 2: watch his new special Wow this from the Sun newspaper.
Speaker 2: They write, his cheeks appear to have huge dimples in
Speaker 2: them and the lines by his jaw are prominent. One
Speaker 2: social media user wrote would be nice if Netflix would
Speaker 2: stop trying to force me to watch them at Rife Special.
Speaker 2: His freakish face from jaw Fillers is too alarming to
Speaker 2: look at. Nicki Glazer's publicist continues to deserve her raise.
Speaker 2: The La Times wrote under the headline, while Nicki Glazer
Speaker 2: is suddenly the hottest name in comedy. You know, I
Speaker 2: read the article to pull some stuff out for you,
Speaker 2: and there's not really much there. You know the story,
Speaker 2: especially if you listen to me every day. She was
Speaker 2: on Tom Brady and then yeah, okay, we got it.
Speaker 2: She continues to give worrisome quotes. Let me drop the
Speaker 2: little to my voice here because I'm being very serious.
Speaker 2: This this bothers me. This quote, Nikki said, comedy at
Speaker 2: its best is relatable because we all have to die someday.
Speaker 2: We're all terrified of it, and depression comes from not
Speaker 2: really thinking about it, suppressing it and are subconscious. I
Speaker 2: was really trying to hide it for a while. I
Speaker 2: thought it made me a liability in this business. No
Speaker 2: one wants to work with someone depressed, but the business
Speaker 2: doesn't care. They're not worried about me killing myself as
Speaker 2: long as I'm getting laughs with it. It's going to
Speaker 2: be okay. I hope Nikki's got someone in her life
Speaker 2: looking out for her. Meanwhile, awkward Segue. Fifty Cent has
Speaker 2: lashed out at Lunell following her comments about his comedy show.
Speaker 2: Complex reports that fifty Cents lashed out at Lunell after
Speaker 2: the legendary comedian said there were no women on his
Speaker 2: comedy showcase. Sent said proof you can't make everyone happy.
Speaker 2: I loved Lunell's work. That's why I had them put
Speaker 2: her in Ghost. We saw her big ass was booked already,
Speaker 2: so we didn't reach out. You think I didn't want
Speaker 2: Monique some more Amy Schumer? They on fire? WTF. Lunell
Speaker 2: had recently commented, I want to say this game is
Speaker 2: so misogynistic because I just heard about this comedy festival
Speaker 2: that my dear friend fifty is having right now. I
Speaker 2: haven't seen the paperwork, so I don't know, but from
Speaker 2: what I heard, there were several comedians on the plane,
Speaker 2: but not one female comic. Now this might be a mistake,
Speaker 2: but this is the information I've got. There are men
Speaker 2: and women in the audiences in those shows. I think
Speaker 2: that their representation only makes sense. Recently, mister sent posted
Speaker 2: a screenshot of a US Weekly article on Instagram about
Speaker 2: him reaching billionaire status. He added, I don't want this
Speaker 2: to make you think I don't need a discount, because
Speaker 2: I want a discount. Lol. I had told you CNN
Speaker 2: has a new Saturday night series, Have I Got News
Speaker 2: for You? Ten episodes. It premieres a Saturday, September fourteenth.
Speaker 2: Johnny Mack has one dollar on the square that says,
Speaker 2: this runs ten episodes and gets canceled. Why. It's not
Speaker 2: because of the talent, it's because of the time slot
Speaker 2: Saturday night at nine pm. Who's home Saturday night at
Speaker 2: nine pm? Well I am, but I'm not gonna watch
Speaker 2: this at Saturday night nine pm. That's video game time.
Speaker 2: Or actually no, I usually do the Saturday night movie,
Speaker 2: often a James Bond film, which is the best James
Speaker 2: Bond film, Johnny Mack, it is clearly the Spy who
Speaker 2: Loved Me. I used to say on Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Speaker 2: But I think Spy who Loved Me is just perfect.
Speaker 2: That all said, of course, Sean Connery is the best Bond.
Speaker 2: You can comment on the in the Facebook group It's
Speaker 2: Daily Comedy News podcast group. We could have a whole
Speaker 2: James Bond argument. I'm in start one anyway. I digress.
Speaker 2: Saturday September fourteenth, at nine pm, when I'll be watching
Speaker 2: college football and or a James Bond movie, CNN will
Speaker 2: air Have I Got News for You. It's hosted by
Speaker 2: Roywood Junior, but they've added two cast members, Amber Ruffin
Speaker 2: and Michael ian Black. They will service the captains of
Speaker 2: the various teams. That is really good hiring great. Michael
Speaker 2: ian Black, in a statement, said, I'm thrilled to be
Speaker 2: joining Roywood Junior and Amber Ruffin, as Have I Got
Speaker 2: News for You's DEI hire. I'm looking forward to spreading
Speaker 2: as much disinformation as possible on America's most trusted news network.
Speaker 2: My main focus has been, and will continue to be
Speaker 2: pleasing my handlers in the Kremlin. Have I Got News
Speaker 2: for You BBC series since nineteen ninety typically showcases two
Speaker 2: teams talking about various news stories of the week. But
Speaker 2: again Saturday night at nine pm. I don't know, man,
Speaker 2: all right, let's get serious here. Eric Andre posted a
Speaker 2: clip on Instagram. I'll let Eric speak for himself for
Speaker 2: about a minute and change, and then I will jump in.
Speaker 1: So I've been on planes for over twenty five hours.
Speaker 1: I flew from New York City to LA then to
Speaker 1: LA to Melbourne, then Melbourne to Brisbane to shoot something.
Speaker 1: I got detained and I had to go. I got
Speaker 1: pulled out of a lineup and put in a special
Speaker 1: line in Melbourne where I was sniffed thoroughly by a dog.
Speaker 1: Those dogs are pretty much ineffective. I've heard statistics like
Speaker 1: their eighty to ninety percent ineffective. It's sniffing out whatever
Speaker 1: they're trying to sniff out. It's like one of the
Speaker 1: many times I've been racially profiled at the airport. So
Speaker 1: this is a message for all black, brown and Indigenous
Speaker 1: people traveling through Melbourne today, especially if you're traveling Quantus
Speaker 1: International by terminal two, Please be careful. They are searching black,
Speaker 1: brown and Indigenous people. Please let me know if anybody
Speaker 1: knows the names of those officers with the dogs or
Speaker 1: what that program is. If anybody has information on a
Speaker 1: discrimination Australian lawyer, I'm all ears, please send me that info.
Speaker 1: And if anybody has information on statistically how many people
Speaker 1: of color they put into this dog sniffing line versus
Speaker 1: white passengers, I'm assuming it doesn't reflect the percentage of
Speaker 1: white passengers versus POC passengers at any given time at
Speaker 1: that airport.
Speaker 2: Later in the video, Eric said, anybody hiring me to
Speaker 2: work in Australia going forward, whether it's a production or
Speaker 2: a tour, please don't make me go through the Melbourne
Speaker 2: airport alone. Please provide a police escort or some type
Speaker 2: of security escort for me, or have me flying to
Speaker 2: Brisbane or Sydney directly. I do not feel safe in
Speaker 2: the Melbourne airport. I do not want to be humiliated
Speaker 2: or racially discriminated against any more at these airports. I
Speaker 2: don't want to cut my hair and wear three Pece suits.
Speaker 2: I'm treated like a first class citizen. I shouldn't be
Speaker 2: made to feel that I am unaccepted by entering a country.
Speaker 2: Shame on the people at the Melbourne Airport that have
Speaker 2: this cockamaning procedure. I doubt it yields any safer world
Speaker 2: for anybody in Melbourne or Australia. When I heard the story,
Speaker 2: it did ring a bell in my brain. And I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna share a fact with you, And I don't
Speaker 2: want you to think that I'm throwing this in here
Speaker 2: to make some sort of comment. Factually, Eric Andre previously
Speaker 2: said he was racially profiled at the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson
Speaker 2: International Airport in twenty twenty one and later took legal action. Again,
Speaker 2: I don't want you to think I'm being dismissive of
Speaker 2: Eric Andre's concerns by throwing that in there. From Late Nighter.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel kind of always talking about retiring, and he
Speaker 2: was on a podcast that's hosted by California Governor Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 2: football player marsha On Lynch and their agent Doug Hendrickson.
Speaker 2: That's a weird show. I guess the agent really wanted
Speaker 2: to have a podcast anyway. Kimmel, so all those guys,
Speaker 2: I'll have a hard time when it's over. It worries me.
Speaker 2: That's part of the reason I keep going, he explained.
Speaker 2: That's why he keeps wind up signing another contract because
Speaker 2: I fear that day the money after my final show,
Speaker 2: and it's like, now what am I gonna do? But
Speaker 2: he points out there aren't a huge the number of
Speaker 2: options for late night hosts after the shows are over.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you could do a podcast. Conan
Speaker 2: seems to be doing okay, so if you want to
Speaker 2: argue about James Bond movies or just talk about comedy.
Speaker 2: Joined the Facebook group It is daily Comedy news podcast group.
Speaker 2: Matthew Welcome to the group. Matthew joined over the weekend
Speaker 2: from Comedy dot co dot uk. It is the funniest
Speaker 2: joke at the Fringe Festival. Let me just preamble here.
Speaker 2: These are jokes told by professional comedians in a comedy environment.
Speaker 2: You know, so how comedy works. You know, you don't
Speaker 2: just show up and just say a line and expect
Speaker 2: a big laugh. You kind of set the stage and
Speaker 2: you know how comedy works, right, you're listening to me.
Speaker 2: You know, you set up a premise, or the audience
Speaker 2: is at a good bood, or you're throwing it aside. You
Speaker 2: get how this works. It's not a dude in his
Speaker 2: basement recording a podcast. So all these are out of
Speaker 2: context and we're told better buying professional comedians. I've preambled enough.
Speaker 2: It is the funniest joke of the Fringe twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Your winner, Mark Simmons, with this professional joke told properly.
Speaker 2: I was going to sail around the globe in the
Speaker 2: world's smallest ship, but I bottled it all right, we
Speaker 2: have fourteen more. Alex Snook. I've been taking Salce lessons
Speaker 2: for months, but I just don't feel like I'm progressing.
Speaker 2: It's just one step four, two steps back. I think
Speaker 2: that's a better joke. I also told it better than
Speaker 2: the first one. Alex Kitson eight horse at a restaurant
Speaker 2: once wasn't great. Starter was up right, but the main
Speaker 2: was dreadful. Did a little plan words there with mean
Speaker 2: and get it. Arthur Smith went with, I sailed through
Speaker 2: my driving test, That's why I failed it. I like
Speaker 2: it simple, Mark Simmons again, I love the Olympics. My
Speaker 2: friend and I invented a new type of let baton.
Speaker 2: Well he came up with the idea and I ran
Speaker 2: with it. Let's see that made me actually laugh. That
Speaker 2: was better Ala Falaffe whole great name went with. My
Speaker 2: dad used to say to me pinees Gallon's leaders, which
Speaker 2: I think speaks volumes. Love it, Chelsea Burkby. British etiquette
Speaker 2: is confusing. Why is that high brow to look at
Speaker 2: boobs at an art gallery but low brow when I
Speaker 2: get him out in spoons? Spoons it seems to be
Speaker 2: a restaurant in London. Masih Graham went with I wanted
Speaker 2: to know which came first, the chicken or the eggs.
Speaker 2: I bought a chicken and then I bought an egg
Speaker 2: and I think I've cracked it. These are fun. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna save more of these for Saturday, not tomorrow. Why
Speaker 2: not to John, because I already recorded a world Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: you're on to me. You're busted doing a little traveling
Speaker 2: this week. Sometimes I got to record ahead. A nice job.
Speaker 2: By The Daily Show they had a dog adoption event
Speaker 2: was called The Daily Show Presents in Dog's Vision twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, Rescuing Democracy. A last Sunday in Chicago, fans
Speaker 2: had the chance to meet several correspondents and a whole
Speaker 2: lot of dogs looking for their forever homes. Desi Leidak,
Speaker 2: Jordan Klepper, Ronnie Chang and TROYA Wata were there. John Stewart,
Speaker 2: I guess was at the Hamptons. Where are you John?
Speaker 2: You can chokee at this. The result was more than
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty new voter registrations and multiple in
Speaker 2: progress adoptions. Pete Lee will be at the Comedy Vault
Speaker 2: in Batavia this weekend. Pete Lee, known for multiple appearances
Speaker 2: on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and his stand
Speaker 2: up clips on Instagram and TikTok. He said, the Comedy
Speaker 2: Vault is a really special club. The owner, Liz is
Speaker 2: really in a comedy and she's really great to comics.
Speaker 2: A few of them love comedians the way Liz does.
Speaker 2: Lee got into comedy, he said, I had a grandmother
Speaker 2: that was a lounge singer and told jokes in between
Speaker 2: her sets. I asked her for advice on jokes and whatnot.
Speaker 2: At one point, my grandmother was teaching me the structure
Speaker 2: of jokes, and she wouldn't let me dinner until I
Speaker 2: wrote or a proper joke. That was when I was
Speaker 2: fourteen years old. In school, he majored in advertising, which
Speaker 2: taught him how to write two hundred of something. They
Speaker 2: get to one thing that's good. If you go see him,
Speaker 2: expect about three quarters of the act will be material
Speaker 2: and about a quarter will be crowd work. Pete says,
Speaker 2: for a long time was known for being a good
Speaker 2: writer material. I think my Tonight Show appearances reflect that.
Speaker 2: But the way the internet's going right now, you have
Speaker 2: to release a video every day, or third day. If
Speaker 2: I was releasing all my material when people came to
Speaker 2: the shows, they wouldn't say anything new. I'm a trained
Speaker 2: improviser as well, and I think it's really fun to
Speaker 2: talk to the crowd. In his set, he talks about marriage,
Speaker 2: his dog, drinking, and how much it sucks to be nice.
Speaker 2: It says, if you really look at the court what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. I never say that sentence on stage,
Speaker 2: but I'm really talking about how much it sucks to
Speaker 2: be a kind person. I talk about everything from calling
Speaker 2: customer service and how everything's autobated. I do a whole
Speaker 2: section on young people. Everybody's really hard in young people.
Speaker 2: They say it's the worst generation. They've said that forever.
Speaker 2: I defend young people for about ten minutes, and it's funny.
Speaker 2: That's what comedy's supposed to be. You're supposed to be
Speaker 2: holding up a mirror to people's experiences so they can
Speaker 2: go I feel that way, or that made me feel better.
Speaker 2: If you're giving out information or wisdom in a show,
Speaker 2: you wanted to help people's lives. Comedy Vault, eighteen East
Speaker 2: Wilson Street, Batavia, at twenty five bucks. You should go.
Speaker 2: Louise Atkinson said about the fringe, Billy Connolly could tell
Speaker 2: me a story about a Mayonaise jar for two hours.
Speaker 2: All right, Louise, how do you get in a comedy?
Speaker 2: She said? I was dating a comedy nerd who wanted
Speaker 2: to try stand up, so I researched comedy courses for
Speaker 2: them as a gift. The same day I quit a
Speaker 2: job which I hated on my ex decided this was
Speaker 2: also a great time to break up with me. Anyway.
Speaker 2: I got an email saying the space had become available
Speaker 2: on the course of the following week, and I did
Speaker 2: it myself. Her show, She's Got the Look the inspiration. Well,
Speaker 2: I got into the last round of competition. I was
Speaker 2: told I sound good but look a mess. So the
Speaker 2: show is me trying to figure out which bit of
Speaker 2: me is the mess and why we make assumptions about
Speaker 2: people based on how they look when we should really
Speaker 2: judge people based on whether I think a jeffa cake
Speaker 2: is a cake or a biscuit. That'll tell me everything
Speaker 2: I need to know about you. What's the wrong assumption
Speaker 2: people make about you, Louise Atkinson? She says, when you're
Speaker 2: a more curfy, voluptuous person than the thing most people
Speaker 2: tend to think is you don't understand what healthy eating is.
Speaker 2: Let me be clear, I'm fully aware of what healthy
Speaker 2: food is. I know what a carrot is. It transports
Speaker 2: dip into my face. Chort Ol gave four stars out
Speaker 2: of five to Aaron Chen at the Fringe and Right.
Speaker 2: Aaron Chen is verging on the big league in Sydney.
Speaker 2: He plays three thousand seat rooms and is recently relocated
Speaker 2: to New York on a visa, which classifies him as
Speaker 2: quote an alien of extraordinary ability. Chen's one of the
Speaker 2: only accident to a bit of local material up top,
Speaker 2: referencing shortbread in Edinburgh Airport, which he says is his
Speaker 2: main source of current affairs coverage. After he accidentally sign
Speaker 2: up for their newsletter. Chen moves there to a sizeable
Speaker 2: chunk about airplane food. It's not even the first time
Speaker 2: he's covered the topic. It's as if he takes on
Speaker 2: the routines as a challenge. Can he make it work?
Speaker 2: You bet he can. Four stars out of five and
Speaker 2: from the Sunday Post dot com. If you see Kyle
Speaker 2: Aker is walking backward around Edinburgh on a windy day,
Speaker 2: He's doing it for good reason, not for laughs, but
Speaker 2: to avoid triggering his excruciating nerve pain, he says, I've
Speaker 2: walked backward into the wind to avoid it. It sounds
Speaker 2: impossible that the wind could be so bad, but often
Speaker 2: the slightest pressure will trigger it, like if someone hit
Speaker 2: me in the face. Even wearing my glasses can't affect it.
Speaker 2: He has trigeminal neuralgia, a long term pain condition that
Speaker 2: causes sudden attacks of sharp, shooting pain in the face, mouth,
Speaker 2: and jaw that can feel like an electrical shock. I'm
Speaker 2: particularly doing this story. I had a version of this.
Speaker 2: I would get all of a sudden like it would
Speaker 2: the back of my head would feel like you stuck
Speaker 2: an ice pick in it. I would go from one
Speaker 2: un percent fine to excruciating pain for half a second,
Speaker 2: and then it would go away. I had this. Luckily
Speaker 2: it has mostly cleared up. It very rarely happens now,
Speaker 2: but in my twenties this would happen often. Kyle explains,
Speaker 2: your brain doesn't realize it's just a little artery bumping
Speaker 2: into a nerve. Instead, it goes on red alert and
Speaker 2: thinks you're being stabbed. He describes the severe bounts of
Speaker 2: pain like a down power line flying around in the
Speaker 2: inside of the right side of my head. Anytime it
Speaker 2: frequently bumps into something, it electrocutes me. When the pain
Speaker 2: gets really bad, that power line is really flailing and
Speaker 2: causes this electrical stabbing pain. Sometimes it can't function. I
Speaker 2: can't even open my eyes while it. Just lay on
Speaker 2: the floor, pushing my face against the cold kitchen tiles
Speaker 2: to try and feel something that's not this indescribable well
Speaker 2: of pane and nothingness inside my head. Dude, I feel
Speaker 2: for you. Man. Wow, sounds like it's this pretty bad,
Speaker 2: he said. I used to WinCE all the time and
Speaker 2: just tell people, including my aunits is that my head
Speaker 2: was sore. Now I still wins through a set, but
Speaker 2: I explain what's going on, which makes it a bit easier.
Speaker 2: Being more vocal about my condition has made people around
Speaker 2: me more aware of it feels less taboo. There's something
Speaker 2: in me making fun of it that makes it easier
Speaker 2: for people to deal with. It's been cathartic for me too. Wow.
Speaker 2: This article says it's usually seen in patients over sixty.
Speaker 2: I had it I was in my twenty I remember
Speaker 2: I was walking home from a party in the cold
Speaker 2: and it felt like a vice in my head, and
Speaker 2: then it started up and had it for a few years,
Speaker 2: most of my twenties, probably into my thirties, and that
Speaker 2: kind of cleared up. Kyle said, I've met so many
Speaker 2: more people with this condition that I would have thought.
Speaker 2: It's been wonderful to meet people have dealt with what
Speaker 2: I have, but are also some steps ahead. You meet
Speaker 2: people have lived with this pain for twenty years and
Speaker 2: realized they found a way to live with some normalcy.
Speaker 2: So there's there again. I don't have it anywhere near
Speaker 2: as bad as he's describing here. Anyway, He's at the
Speaker 2: fringe and his show's called Hard to Say, and they'll
Speaker 2: find him at just the Tonic. And that is your
Speaker 2: comedy news for today. Uh did you pretape Friday?
Speaker 1: John? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I did? All right, we'll offer me back see tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Well you'll see me. I won't see you.
