<v Speaker 1>Calarocas, shock media.

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Easy one again. Hi, I'm chutting Mac with your daily

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>comedy news. Let's jump in here. Sam Merrill was on

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Good Day Baltimore. Let's listen.

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Was this with us?

6
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>This is she's a rescue, She's that I saved her.

7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>She was getting sexually assaulted by a pack of chihuahuas

8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles. I stepped in, Yeah, and I crescent

9
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>caped two of them. You did, and we've been together

10
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>ever since. Is that going to be part of your

11
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 2>your routine?

12
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Like?

13
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>What are you gonna see? See this this evening, this weekend?

14
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Hitler genocide, uh Kamala, Trump and poop?

15
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, all things that are on top of mine for

16
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>folks the moment they wake up and turn our newscasts on.

17
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to burn a bridge. I know how

18
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>you feel about bridges in Baltimore.

19
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 1>But oh my goodness, sorry, Sam, we're gonna take it

20
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>out here.

21
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, funny Friday, it' going to go the way good

22
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Dave Baltimore thought, Sam. Yikes, Gilbert Godfried will have a

23
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>new album. Gilbert passed away in twenty twenty two. Eight

24
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>hundred Pound Guerrilla reported on Gilbert's new album saying Gilbert

25
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>never put out a comedy album because, according to widow

26
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Dana Godfrid on her Instagram page, Gilbert didn't want to

27
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>use up as material. But there is a CDDVD called

28
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Dirty Jokes, which to me is an album, but okay whatever.

29
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Dana has partnered with Clown Jewels to release Gilbert Gottfried's

30
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 2>first album or second album title to be announced. The

31
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>album will feature material that was shot for the twenty

32
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>seventeen documentary Gilbert. In support of the release, there will

33
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>be an event as part of the New York Comedy

34
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Festival at the Hard Rocket Time Square. There'll be a

35
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Q and a panel hosted by Frank Santo Padre, who

36
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>co hosted Gilbert's Amazing Colossal podcast. I mentioned that is

37
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 2>a podcast episode that will be recorded there so they

38
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 2>can run some spots. Totally get It also debut a

39
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>short film featuring never before seen footage that was cut

40
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 2>from the documentary. All proceeds will benefit the Gilbert Gottfried

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Myotonic Dystrophe Type two Research Fund at Strong Memorial Hospital

<v Speaker 2>in Rochester. The album will be released both digitally and

43
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>on vinyl November thirteenth. Matt Rife going back on tour.

44
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>We never talk about Matt Rife around here, you know.

45
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>He also announced a new feature project. Matt Rife will

46
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>be among the leads of Rolling Loud, which is an

47
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>R rated comedy co produced by Live Nation Productions, which

48
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>will film at the hip hop festival also called Rolling

49
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Loud that's in Miami in December. Rolling Loud inspired by

50
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the true story of an overprotective father who makes the

51
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 2>worst parenting decision of his life when he sneaks his

52
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>thirteen year old son into Rolling Loud, the world's biggest

53
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 2>hip hop festival, setting off a chaotic adventure. With his

54
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 2>reckless coworker and an eccentric festival volunteers, they navigate wild crowds, security,

55
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 2>and copywriting rule of three their own family dynamics. Rife's

56
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 2>tour dates won't be announced until later this year. Meanwhile,

57
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>on gossip Corner, Rife is being criticized for his jaw

58
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>fillers to the point where fans are saying they can't

59
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 2>watch his new special Wow this from the Sun newspaper.

60
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>They write, his cheeks appear to have huge dimples in

61
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>them and the lines by his jaw are prominent. One

62
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>social media user wrote would be nice if Netflix would

63
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>stop trying to force me to watch them at Rife Special.

64
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>His freakish face from jaw Fillers is too alarming to

65
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>look at. Nicki Glazer's publicist continues to deserve her raise.

66
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>The La Times wrote under the headline, while Nicki Glazer

67
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>is suddenly the hottest name in comedy. You know, I

68
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 2>read the article to pull some stuff out for you,

69
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 2>and there's not really much there. You know the story,

70
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>especially if you listen to me every day. She was

71
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 2>on Tom Brady and then yeah, okay, we got it.

72
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>She continues to give worrisome quotes. Let me drop the

73
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>little to my voice here because I'm being very serious.

74
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>This this bothers me. This quote, Nikki said, comedy at

75
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>its best is relatable because we all have to die someday.

76
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>We're all terrified of it, and depression comes from not

77
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>really thinking about it, suppressing it and are subconscious. I

78
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 2>was really trying to hide it for a while. I

79
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>thought it made me a liability in this business. No

80
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 2>one wants to work with someone depressed, but the business

81
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 2>doesn't care. They're not worried about me killing myself as

82
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 2>long as I'm getting laughs with it. It's going to

83
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 2>be okay. I hope Nikki's got someone in her life

84
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 2>looking out for her. Meanwhile, awkward Segue. Fifty Cent has

85
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 2>lashed out at Lunell following her comments about his comedy show.

86
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Complex reports that fifty Cents lashed out at Lunell after

87
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the legendary comedian said there were no women on his

88
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>comedy showcase. Sent said proof you can't make everyone happy.

89
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I loved Lunell's work. That's why I had them put

90
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 2>her in Ghost. We saw her big ass was booked already,

91
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>so we didn't reach out. You think I didn't want

92
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Monique some more Amy Schumer? They on fire? WTF. Lunell

93
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 2>had recently commented, I want to say this game is

94
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>so misogynistic because I just heard about this comedy festival

95
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>that my dear friend fifty is having right now. I

96
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen the paperwork, so I don't know, but from

97
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>what I heard, there were several comedians on the plane,

98
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 2>but not one female comic. Now this might be a mistake,

99
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 2>but this is the information I've got. There are men

100
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 2>and women in the audiences in those shows. I think

101
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>that their representation only makes sense. Recently, mister sent posted

102
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 2>a screenshot of a US Weekly article on Instagram about

103
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 2>him reaching billionaire status. He added, I don't want this

104
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 2>to make you think I don't need a discount, because

105
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I want a discount. Lol. I had told you CNN

106
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 2>has a new Saturday night series, Have I Got News

107
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>for You? Ten episodes. It premieres a Saturday, September fourteenth.

108
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Mack has one dollar on the square that says,

109
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>this runs ten episodes and gets canceled. Why. It's not

110
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 2>because of the talent, it's because of the time slot

111
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night at nine pm. Who's home Saturday night at

112
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>nine pm? Well I am, but I'm not gonna watch

113
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 2>this at Saturday night nine pm. That's video game time.

114
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 2>Or actually no, I usually do the Saturday night movie,

115
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 2>often a James Bond film, which is the best James

116
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Bond film, Johnny Mack, it is clearly the Spy who

117
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Loved Me. I used to say on Her Majesty's Secret Service.

118
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 2>But I think Spy who Loved Me is just perfect.

119
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 2>That all said, of course, Sean Connery is the best Bond.

120
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 2>You can comment on the in the Facebook group It's

121
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Daily Comedy News podcast group. We could have a whole

122
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 2>James Bond argument. I'm in start one anyway. I digress.

123
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Saturday September fourteenth, at nine pm, when I'll be watching

124
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>college football and or a James Bond movie, CNN will

125
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 2>air Have I Got News for You. It's hosted by

126
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Roywood Junior, but they've added two cast members, Amber Ruffin

127
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and Michael ian Black. They will service the captains of

128
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the various teams. That is really good hiring great. Michael

129
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 2>ian Black, in a statement, said, I'm thrilled to be

130
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>joining Roywood Junior and Amber Ruffin, as Have I Got

131
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>News for You's DEI hire. I'm looking forward to spreading

132
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>as much disinformation as possible on America's most trusted news network.

133
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 2>My main focus has been, and will continue to be

134
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 2>pleasing my handlers in the Kremlin. Have I Got News

135
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.360
<v Speaker 2>for You BBC series since nineteen ninety typically showcases two

136
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 2>teams talking about various news stories of the week. But

137
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>again Saturday night at nine pm. I don't know, man,

138
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 2>all right, let's get serious here. Eric Andre posted a

139
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>clip on Instagram. I'll let Eric speak for himself for

140
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 2>about a minute and change, and then I will jump in.

141
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>So I've been on planes for over twenty five hours.

142
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I flew from New York City to LA then to

143
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>LA to Melbourne, then Melbourne to Brisbane to shoot something.

144
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I got detained and I had to go. I got

145
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>pulled out of a lineup and put in a special

146
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 1>line in Melbourne where I was sniffed thoroughly by a dog.

147
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Those dogs are pretty much ineffective. I've heard statistics like

148
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>their eighty to ninety percent ineffective. It's sniffing out whatever

149
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to sniff out. It's like one of the

150
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>many times I've been racially profiled at the airport. So

151
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>this is a message for all black, brown and Indigenous

152
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 1>people traveling through Melbourne today, especially if you're traveling Quantus

153
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>International by terminal two, Please be careful. They are searching black,

154
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 1>brown and Indigenous people. Please let me know if anybody

155
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 1>knows the names of those officers with the dogs or

156
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 1>what that program is. If anybody has information on a

157
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>discrimination Australian lawyer, I'm all ears, please send me that info.

158
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>And if anybody has information on statistically how many people

159
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 1>of color they put into this dog sniffing line versus

160
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>white passengers, I'm assuming it doesn't reflect the percentage of

161
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 1>white passengers versus POC passengers at any given time at

162
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 1>that airport.

163
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Later in the video, Eric said, anybody hiring me to

164
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>work in Australia going forward, whether it's a production or

165
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>a tour, please don't make me go through the Melbourne

166
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.559
<v Speaker 2>airport alone. Please provide a police escort or some type

167
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 2>of security escort for me, or have me flying to

168
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Brisbane or Sydney directly. I do not feel safe in

169
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>the Melbourne airport. I do not want to be humiliated

170
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>or racially discriminated against any more at these airports. I

171
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 2>don't want to cut my hair and wear three Pece suits.

172
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm treated like a first class citizen. I shouldn't be

173
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>made to feel that I am unaccepted by entering a country.

174
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Shame on the people at the Melbourne Airport that have

175
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 2>this cockamaning procedure. I doubt it yields any safer world

176
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>for anybody in Melbourne or Australia. When I heard the story,

177
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>it did ring a bell in my brain. And I'm

178
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.519
<v Speaker 2>just gonna share a fact with you, And I don't

179
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 2>want you to think that I'm throwing this in here

180
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 2>to make some sort of comment. Factually, Eric Andre previously

181
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>said he was racially profiled at the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson

182
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 2>International Airport in twenty twenty one and later took legal action. Again,

183
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't want you to think I'm being dismissive of

184
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Eric Andre's concerns by throwing that in there. From Late Nighter.

185
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Kimmel kind of always talking about retiring, and he

186
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.039
<v Speaker 2>was on a podcast that's hosted by California Governor Gavin Newsom,

187
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 2>football player marsha On Lynch and their agent Doug Hendrickson.

188
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>That's a weird show. I guess the agent really wanted

189
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 2>to have a podcast anyway. Kimmel, so all those guys,

190
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll have a hard time when it's over. It worries me.

191
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.399
<v Speaker 2>That's part of the reason I keep going, he explained.

192
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 2>That's why he keeps wind up signing another contract because

193
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I fear that day the money after my final show,

194
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, now what am I gonna do? But

195
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.360
<v Speaker 2>he points out there aren't a huge the number of

196
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.519
<v Speaker 2>options for late night hosts after the shows are over.

197
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess you could do a podcast. Conan

198
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 2>seems to be doing okay, so if you want to

199
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 2>argue about James Bond movies or just talk about comedy.

200
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Joined the Facebook group It is daily Comedy news podcast group.

201
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Matthew Welcome to the group. Matthew joined over the weekend

202
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 2>from Comedy dot co dot uk. It is the funniest

203
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>joke at the Fringe Festival. Let me just preamble here.

204
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>These are jokes told by professional comedians in a comedy environment.

205
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, so how comedy works. You know, you don't

206
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>just show up and just say a line and expect

207
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>a big laugh. You kind of set the stage and

208
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you know how comedy works, right, you're listening to me.

209
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, you set up a premise, or the audience

210
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 2>is at a good bood, or you're throwing it aside. You

211
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 2>get how this works. It's not a dude in his

212
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>basement recording a podcast. So all these are out of

213
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>context and we're told better buying professional comedians. I've preambled enough.

214
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>It is the funniest joke of the Fringe twenty twenty four.

215
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Your winner, Mark Simmons, with this professional joke told properly.

216
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I was going to sail around the globe in the

217
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.080
<v Speaker 2>world's smallest ship, but I bottled it all right, we

218
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 2>have fourteen more. Alex Snook. I've been taking Salce lessons

219
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 2>for months, but I just don't feel like I'm progressing.

220
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.559
<v Speaker 2>It's just one step four, two steps back. I think

221
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that's a better joke. I also told it better than

222
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the first one. Alex Kitson eight horse at a restaurant

223
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.559
<v Speaker 2>once wasn't great. Starter was up right, but the main

224
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>was dreadful. Did a little plan words there with mean

225
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 2>and get it. Arthur Smith went with, I sailed through

226
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 2>my driving test, That's why I failed it. I like

227
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 2>it simple, Mark Simmons again, I love the Olympics. My

228
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>friend and I invented a new type of let baton.

229
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Well he came up with the idea and I ran

230
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 2>with it. Let's see that made me actually laugh. That

231
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.120
<v Speaker 2>was better Ala Falaffe whole great name went with. My

232
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 2>dad used to say to me pinees Gallon's leaders, which

233
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 2>I think speaks volumes. Love it, Chelsea Burkby. British etiquette

234
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 2>is confusing. Why is that high brow to look at

235
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>boobs at an art gallery but low brow when I

236
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.240
<v Speaker 2>get him out in spoons? Spoons it seems to be

237
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant in London. Masih Graham went with I wanted

238
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to know which came first, the chicken or the eggs.

239
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I bought a chicken and then I bought an egg

240
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and I think I've cracked it. These are fun. I'm

241
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna save more of these for Saturday, not tomorrow. Why

242
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 2>not to John, because I already recorded a world Okay, okay,

243
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 2>you're on to me. You're busted doing a little traveling

244
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 2>this week. Sometimes I got to record ahead. A nice job.

245
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>By The Daily Show they had a dog adoption event

246
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 2>was called The Daily Show Presents in Dog's Vision twenty

247
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty four, Rescuing Democracy. A last Sunday in Chicago, fans

248
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>had the chance to meet several correspondents and a whole

249
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 2>lot of dogs looking for their forever homes. Desi Leidak,

250
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Klepper, Ronnie Chang and TROYA Wata were there. John Stewart,

251
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I guess was at the Hamptons. Where are you John?

252
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>You can chokee at this. The result was more than

253
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.639
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifty new voter registrations and multiple in

254
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 2>progress adoptions. Pete Lee will be at the Comedy Vault

255
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>in Batavia this weekend. Pete Lee, known for multiple appearances

256
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and his stand

257
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 2>up clips on Instagram and TikTok. He said, the Comedy

258
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Vault is a really special club. The owner, Liz is

259
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:47.399
<v Speaker 2>really in a comedy and she's really great to comics.

260
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.240
<v Speaker 2>A few of them love comedians the way Liz does.

261
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Lee got into comedy, he said, I had a grandmother

262
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.519
<v Speaker 2>that was a lounge singer and told jokes in between

263
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>her sets. I asked her for advice on jokes and whatnot.

264
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.159
<v Speaker 2>At one point, my grandmother was teaching me the structure

265
00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>of jokes, and she wouldn't let me dinner until I

266
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>wrote or a proper joke. That was when I was

267
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>fourteen years old. In school, he majored in advertising, which

268
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>taught him how to write two hundred of something. They

269
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 2>get to one thing that's good. If you go see him,

270
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 2>expect about three quarters of the act will be material

271
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 2>and about a quarter will be crowd work. Pete says,

272
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 2>for a long time was known for being a good

273
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 2>writer material. I think my Tonight Show appearances reflect that.

274
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 2>But the way the internet's going right now, you have

275
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>to release a video every day, or third day. If

276
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I was releasing all my material when people came to

277
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the shows, they wouldn't say anything new. I'm a trained

278
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.360
<v Speaker 2>improviser as well, and I think it's really fun to

279
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>talk to the crowd. In his set, he talks about marriage,

280
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 2>his dog, drinking, and how much it sucks to be nice.

281
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.519
<v Speaker 2>It says, if you really look at the court what

282
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about. I never say that sentence on stage,

283
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.559
<v Speaker 2>but I'm really talking about how much it sucks to

284
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>be a kind person. I talk about everything from calling

285
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.320
<v Speaker 2>customer service and how everything's autobated. I do a whole

286
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.639
<v Speaker 2>section on young people. Everybody's really hard in young people.

287
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 2>They say it's the worst generation. They've said that forever.

288
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 2>I defend young people for about ten minutes, and it's funny.

289
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 2>That's what comedy's supposed to be. You're supposed to be

290
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 2>holding up a mirror to people's experiences so they can

291
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 2>go I feel that way, or that made me feel better.

292
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>If you're giving out information or wisdom in a show,

293
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to help people's lives. Comedy Vault, eighteen East

294
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Wilson Street, Batavia, at twenty five bucks. You should go.

295
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Louise Atkinson said about the fringe, Billy Connolly could tell

296
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.600
<v Speaker 2>me a story about a Mayonaise jar for two hours.

297
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, Louise, how do you get in a comedy?

298
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.240
<v Speaker 2>She said? I was dating a comedy nerd who wanted

299
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>to try stand up, so I researched comedy courses for

300
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:22.879
<v Speaker 2>them as a gift. The same day I quit a

301
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 2>job which I hated on my ex decided this was

302
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>also a great time to break up with me. Anyway.

303
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I got an email saying the space had become available

304
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>on the course of the following week, and I did

305
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>it myself. Her show, She's Got the Look the inspiration. Well,

306
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I got into the last round of competition. I was

307
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>told I sound good but look a mess. So the

308
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>show is me trying to figure out which bit of

309
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>me is the mess and why we make assumptions about

310
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 2>people based on how they look when we should really

311
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 2>judge people based on whether I think a jeffa cake

312
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>is a cake or a biscuit. That'll tell me everything

313
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 2>I need to know about you. What's the wrong assumption

314
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 2>people make about you, Louise Atkinson? She says, when you're

315
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 2>a more curfy, voluptuous person than the thing most people

316
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 2>tend to think is you don't understand what healthy eating is.

317
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Let me be clear, I'm fully aware of what healthy

318
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>food is. I know what a carrot is. It transports

319
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.279
<v Speaker 2>dip into my face. Chort Ol gave four stars out

320
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.080
<v Speaker 2>of five to Aaron Chen at the Fringe and Right.

321
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Chen is verging on the big league in Sydney.

322
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.840
<v Speaker 2>He plays three thousand seat rooms and is recently relocated

323
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 2>to New York on a visa, which classifies him as

324
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.879
<v Speaker 2>quote an alien of extraordinary ability. Chen's one of the

325
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.879
<v Speaker 2>only accident to a bit of local material up top,

326
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:27.879
<v Speaker 2>referencing shortbread in Edinburgh Airport, which he says is his

327
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.440
<v Speaker 2>main source of current affairs coverage. After he accidentally sign

328
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.399
<v Speaker 2>up for their newsletter. Chen moves there to a sizeable

329
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 2>chunk about airplane food. It's not even the first time

330
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>he's covered the topic. It's as if he takes on

331
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the routines as a challenge. Can he make it work?

332
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 2>You bet he can. Four stars out of five and

333
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>from the Sunday Post dot com. If you see Kyle

334
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Aker is walking backward around Edinburgh on a windy day,

335
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>He's doing it for good reason, not for laughs, but

336
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.159
<v Speaker 2>to avoid triggering his excruciating nerve pain, he says, I've

337
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>walked backward into the wind to avoid it. It sounds

338
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.200
<v Speaker 2>impossible that the wind could be so bad, but often

339
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.559
<v Speaker 2>the slightest pressure will trigger it, like if someone hit

340
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>me in the face. Even wearing my glasses can't affect it.

341
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 2>He has trigeminal neuralgia, a long term pain condition that

342
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.600
<v Speaker 2>causes sudden attacks of sharp, shooting pain in the face, mouth,

343
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>and jaw that can feel like an electrical shock. I'm

344
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.759
<v Speaker 2>particularly doing this story. I had a version of this.

345
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I would get all of a sudden like it would

346
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.720
<v Speaker 2>the back of my head would feel like you stuck

347
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>an ice pick in it. I would go from one

348
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>un percent fine to excruciating pain for half a second,

349
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 2>and then it would go away. I had this. Luckily

350
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>it has mostly cleared up. It very rarely happens now,

351
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>but in my twenties this would happen often. Kyle explains,

352
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>your brain doesn't realize it's just a little artery bumping

353
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>into a nerve. Instead, it goes on red alert and

354
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 2>thinks you're being stabbed. He describes the severe bounts of

355
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.240
<v Speaker 2>pain like a down power line flying around in the

356
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.080
<v Speaker 2>inside of the right side of my head. Anytime it

357
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 2>frequently bumps into something, it electrocutes me. When the pain

358
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>gets really bad, that power line is really flailing and

359
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 2>causes this electrical stabbing pain. Sometimes it can't function. I

360
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 2>can't even open my eyes while it. Just lay on

361
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 2>the floor, pushing my face against the cold kitchen tiles

362
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:01.720
<v Speaker 2>to try and feel something that's not this indescribable well

363
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.799
<v Speaker 2>of pane and nothingness inside my head. Dude, I feel

364
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.119
<v Speaker 2>for you. Man. Wow, sounds like it's this pretty bad,

365
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.440
<v Speaker 2>he said. I used to WinCE all the time and

366
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.279
<v Speaker 2>just tell people, including my aunits is that my head

367
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.839
<v Speaker 2>was sore. Now I still wins through a set, but

368
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I explain what's going on, which makes it a bit easier.

369
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Being more vocal about my condition has made people around

370
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 2>me more aware of it feels less taboo. There's something

371
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 2>in me making fun of it that makes it easier

372
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.240
<v Speaker 2>for people to deal with. It's been cathartic for me too. Wow.

373
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 2>This article says it's usually seen in patients over sixty.

374
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 2>I had it I was in my twenty I remember

375
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I was walking home from a party in the cold

376
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>and it felt like a vice in my head, and

377
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 2>then it started up and had it for a few years,

378
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.200
<v Speaker 2>most of my twenties, probably into my thirties, and that

379
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of cleared up. Kyle said, I've met so many

380
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.119
<v Speaker 2>more people with this condition that I would have thought.

381
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.799
<v Speaker 2>It's been wonderful to meet people have dealt with what

382
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 2>I have, but are also some steps ahead. You meet

383
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>people have lived with this pain for twenty years and

384
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.839
<v Speaker 2>realized they found a way to live with some normalcy.

385
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>So there's there again. I don't have it anywhere near

386
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.640
<v Speaker 2>as bad as he's describing here. Anyway, He's at the

387
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.759
<v Speaker 2>fringe and his show's called Hard to Say, and they'll

388
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.640
<v Speaker 2>find him at just the Tonic. And that is your

389
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 2>comedy news for today. Uh did you pretape Friday?

390
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>John? Yeah?

391
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I did? All right, we'll offer me back see tomorrow.

392
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Well you'll see me. I won't see you.
