00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Jennie Mac with your

2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>daily comedy news. Nicki Glazer was on Mike Birbiglia's podcast,

3
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Nicky's Agents Getting It Done. Bir Bigley was the IT

4
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.879
<v Speaker 1>comic this week. Sure, so she made an appearance there.

5
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>What a coincidence? Nicki told Mike she learned that Lona

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 1>del Rey was not a fan of Nicki Glazer's jokes.

7
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 1>According to Nicki, a friend of hers was at a

8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>party and met whom they described as a gorgeous woman.

9
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>They started to share details about their lives, the friend

10
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>writes for Nicki Glazer. The gorgeous woman walked away. Another

11
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>partygoer approached Nicki Glazer's friend and said, what were you

12
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>talking to Lonna Delray about? Apparently the friend heard from

13
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Hanna del Rey or a friend of Lonna del Rey's.

14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I like Nikki, but I wish she wasn't so dirty,

15
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Glazier said. I was sad because I love Lonna del Rey.

16
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought she would have been into that stuff, and

17
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>now I'm like, oh my god, it was helpful advice.

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>At first, I was like, how dare she? And then

19
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I've got some notes too for her.

20
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>She's one of the best brilliant artists ever, and yet

21
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm entitled not like things of hers. There are songs

22
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that I'm like, eh, So she's a lot to be

23
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>eh about me. I took the note and I'm working

24
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>on it. Nicky says she took the criticism seriously, not

25
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 1>just to appeal to her, but to appeal to people

26
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>who like her, people that I could be sharing my

27
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>message with, but are turned off because I hear she's

28
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 1>too dirty, and I just don't want to hear that.

29
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Some people are deeply uncomfortable by it. It's not even

30
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>like they're prude. It's like, ew, it's grosse. Are we

31
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>going to see some sort of major comedic pivot by

32
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Nicki Glazer? Seems to be a week four angry articles.

33
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed this one from Savingcountry Music dot Com. Apparently

34
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>they didn't find the totally not Garth Brooks segments of

35
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Tom Sigora's bad Thoughts as hilarious as I did. I

36
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>had commented I could watch Sigura do totally not Garth

37
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Brooks all day, every day. If Sigura wants to turn

38
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 1>that into a one hour week series, I'll watch it

39
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>saving country music com long story short toms Agora loves

40
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to poke fun of Brooks and what many perceive as

41
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Gortz over the top persona. It's been a favorite topic

42
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 1>of Sigora going back to twenty eighteen. At this point,

43
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 1>the whole where are the Body's Garth thing has been

44
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>used for so long it's grown pretty stale. Oh no,

45
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't, not at all. No, no, no no, But

46
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Tom s Agora decided to take the joke to its

47
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>ultimate conclusion by portraying a very Goarth like character in

48
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the short run Netflix comedy series called Bad Thoughts that

49
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>debuted on May thirteenth. I feel like the short run

50
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>is trying to be a dig there. It was just

51
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>a six episode series. You know, it's not crazy that

52
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>something on Netflix is only six episodes. Is not nineteen

53
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>eighty four anymore. Throughout the six episodes, toms Agora portrays

54
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>multiple dark characters in unthinkable situations and fantasies. One such

55
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 1>character as a global country music superstar who kidnaps his

56
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>own fans and forces them to live with little food

57
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in an old Western like town to help inspire him

58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to write and hit songs. You can hear me cracking up.

59
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking back to the sketch I love. Though

60
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.599
<v Speaker 1>the character's name is Rex Henley, it's clearly a goof

61
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>on Garth Brooks saving country music dot com. Right. So,

62
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>as a country fan, a comedy fan, and maybe even

63
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>as a Garth Brooks fan, you were hoping this could

64
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>result in some fun last But unfortunately Tom Sigora's Bad

65
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Thoughts doesn't deliver. And forget the time into the country

66
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 1>music universe and Garth Brooks. The series of six to

67
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty minute or so episodes really just isn't that funny

68
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 1>at all, except for infleeting moments. Oh I disagree, it

69
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>is hilarious. I can't get enough of Bad Thoughts. It's

70
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 1>only the first few episodes were the Rex Henley characters seen,

71
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>and despite the insane premise, it might be some of

72
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the most tame moments of the series. That is true.

73
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell my adult son to watch it,

74
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have the courage to tell my adult

75
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 1>son to watch it because it's naughty. Perhaps if you're

76
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>a Tom Sigora fan and get his comedy, it helps,

77
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>But if you're a country fan who loves to poke

78
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>fund at Garth Brooks yourself. Just don't bother Garth Brooks

79
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>offers more comedy inadvertent, okay. Kevin Hart spoke to You

80
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Fortunate about his rejections over the years and said, I

81
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>can't narrow it down to one not getting into comedy

82
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>clubs early on in my career, and not getting chosen

83
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 1>for comedy festivals, not getting movie roles that I thought

84
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 1>were perfect roles for me, not getting SNL and I

85
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>thought SNL was the biggest and best thing for me.

86
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>There are so many things that if they would have happened,

87
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>my career wouldn't have shaped up into what it was today.

88
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>You later discover those moments were some of the best

89
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 1>for you, that made you work harder. Kevin Horret's mindset

90
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>is rejection can be an asset. Without it, you don't

91
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 1>have anything to learn from or anything to adjust too.

92
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 1>If things were easy, it'd be stupid. It's supposed to

93
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>be hard. You're supposed to understand the reason for hard

94
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>work and putting one hundred percent to a craft is

95
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 1>because of what you want to get out from it.

96
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>The Hollywood Reporter had a comedian round table. The question

97
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>at hand, what's an unpopular opinion you hold about comedy.

98
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Roy Wood Junior said, it's hard for me to go, well,

99
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't like this or that. It's probably because I

100
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 1>can't do it, Like I'm not good at crowd work.

101
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I hate on it, but it's what the

102
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>streets have chosen. Hassan Minhaj said the art form is

103
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>bigger than ever, so when people critique it, I'm like,

104
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>there are more com means doing feeders and arenas that

105
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>ever is. So take the good with the bad. My

106
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 1>former co worker Jamie Fox said, and it's two worlds.

107
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 1>There's the two hundred and eighty one comics, so we

108
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>think is the whole world, and then there's Joe Coy

109
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>selling out arenas. Roy Wood Junior said, it's Shane Gillis.

110
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Handler said it's a medium that's been pretty unscathed

111
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 1>by cancel culture. You get to say whatever you want,

112
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 1>however you want to say it, and it's up to

113
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>your audience whether they're coming for it. Next question, how

114
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>good are you all at predicting how your comedy will land?

115
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Sarah Silverman said, I'm always surprised what specials the last

116
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 1>two I did. The first night we shot. You're just

117
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>excited you got it. The second night feels magical because

118
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 1>you're not in your head anymore, so you go, we'll

119
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 1>just use the whole second night, and then the editors like, now,

120
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I like the first night. Seth Meyer said, same thing

121
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 1>happened to me. I think it's the precision of being

122
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>in your head. The butterflies actually help you focus. Fox.

123
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I learned that when I took some enhancements to go

124
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>on stage. I thought, since Richard Pryor did in enhancements.

125
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Handler asked, what are enhancements? Silverman like cocaine? Fox?

126
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Some people call it cocaine, some people call it enhancements.

127
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Roy Wood Junior, No one calls it enhancements. Fuck is

128
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 1>pr instinct kicked in and I've been in the room

129
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 1>with him when I've seen this happen to him when

130
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>he's having some fun and then realizes that he's Jamie

131
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Fox and people are going to quote the things he says.

132
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Jamie says, I want to go on the record to

133
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>say I hate cocaine. I just like how it smells,

134
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and then laughs. The Saint Pete catalyst asked Howie Mandel.

135
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Howie Mandel does America indeed have talent. They should have

136
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>said got talent, no whatever, how he said, yes, yes

137
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 1>it does. I'm trying to sell tickets to my show.

138
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So if America didn't have talent, why would you buy

139
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 1>a ticket to see me? I think there's talent everywhere,

140
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 1>it's just that it's not everybody's taste. But yes, America's

141
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>got talent. That's why you should come see me. Although

142
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 1>the people who are fans of America's got talent shouldn't

143
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>bring their children in my live show because America doesn't

144
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 1>always have editing. My show is very improvisational and in

145
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the moment, anything can happen, and it's not like what

146
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>I do on AGT. Has Howie seen it all in

147
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>his fifteen years on that show. Every time I think

148
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it all, I realize I ain't seen nothing yet.

149
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>When people will ask me what I look for, I

150
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>look to be surprised. It's anything and everything and things

151
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I haven't even thought of. I like the opportunity. In

152
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 1>my own mind go WTF, Like what are you doing?

153
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 1>What is that? How'd you even come up with that?

154
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Brett Goldstein spoke to Interview magazine about the most challenging

155
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 1>parts of stand up and said a pitying silence is

156
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the worst. It feels like dying on stage because you

157
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>came to connect with people. When it doesn't work, it's like,

158
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, am I even here? Do I exist?

159
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>What's happening? And what's so weird about stand up is

160
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 1>that it's so objective. If someone were to go you're

161
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 1>not funny and no one's laughing, it's like, yeah, I

162
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>can't argue. I can't say that last night they laugh loads,

163
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>because right now I'm a ghost that isn't funny. Molly

165
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Kim Alive, also his wife. She spoke to Late NIGHTERR

166
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>about whether or not Jimmy will stick around. She said,

167
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 1>I do think we need him. I'd love for him

168
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>to stay, but I also want him to be able

169
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to relax and fly fish and not listen to Trump

170
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>every day. So I want whatever's best for him. But yeah,

171
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I selfishly want him to fight the good fight as

172
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>long as he can. When you wake up in the

173
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>morning and it's like Donald Trump wants to put people

174
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 1>on appuature as you're like, oh, I don't think we

175
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>should do the funny bit on the bull of today.

176
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.279
<v Speaker 1>We want to deliver these funny bits, and these things

177
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>can take people out of the news. But when you're

178
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>so overwhelmed by the news, you're like, wait, we got
