Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Guys, I'm gonna have to go full George Lopez tacos
Speaker 2: on Nicki Glazer. I just can't anymore with this, Nicky,
Speaker 2: Please stop. Hello. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily com
Speaker 2: news from Vogue. Liking this woman is part of my
Speaker 2: identity now. Comedian Nicki Glazer on attending twenty two Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift Eras concerts. How many of these articles are we
Speaker 2: gonna do? Okay, Nicky, you crushed on the rest of
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. Great, You're like the hot comedian right now? Great?
Speaker 2: You like Taylor Swift. Great enough with this? This is
Speaker 2: like the George Lopez tacos. I can't read an article
Speaker 2: about this every day, Nicki tells Vogue. It makes me
Speaker 2: feel so good. I don't drink anymore, and I try
Speaker 2: not to do drugs, and honestly, this is just a
Speaker 2: really good drug. I'm kind of addicted. I get a
Speaker 2: little bit sad at the idea that it's gonna run
Speaker 2: out at some point and I'll probably have to replace
Speaker 2: it with something else. But it's not really hurting anyone,
Speaker 2: so I just lean into it. The more I embrace it,
Speaker 2: the less I'm embarrassed by it. At this point in
Speaker 2: my life, I'm not embarrassed by it at all, or
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be talking to you about it. Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 2: When I first moved to LA I had a roommate
Speaker 2: I met off Craigslist, and she worked on the Warners
Speaker 2: Brothers lot and had tickets one day to go see
Speaker 2: taping of Allen. When she came home from it, I
Speaker 2: was like, who was on? She said, this country artist girl,
Speaker 2: and she shared her calendar was probably for two thousand
Speaker 2: and seven or two thousand and eight. It was the
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift self titled album calendar. We kept it on
Speaker 2: our coffee table as a joke because we didn't know
Speaker 2: who this girl was. I'd flip through it late at
Speaker 2: night when I would get home from sets and just
Speaker 2: look at the girl's pictures. I would eat cereal off
Speaker 2: this calendar. I remember being like, this girl so pretty
Speaker 2: and cute, but it's probably not the kind of music
Speaker 2: I would like. What I would give now, I would
Speaker 2: pay five hundred dollars for that calendar. All right, Nikki Glazer,
Speaker 2: When did you get into Taylor's music? It happened in
Speaker 2: several different stages. The first time, I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is something special. I was moving back to Saint
Speaker 2: Louis after I kind of struck out in LA for
Speaker 2: the first time. I'd just done this tonight show, but
Speaker 2: it didn't change my life. I was still babysitting and
Speaker 2: borrowing money from my parents, and they were kind of like,
Speaker 2: we can't do this for you anymore. So I drove
Speaker 2: across country back home and we listened to the radio
Speaker 2: the whole way and Love Story was just playing a lot,
Speaker 2: and I remember being like, this is the song of
Speaker 2: the summer. I was instantly magnetized to that song. I
Speaker 2: almos slipped in a triumph there. Maybe that would make
Speaker 2: this whole thing funny. Nikki Glazer Triumph. When did you
Speaker 2: start going to Taylor's concerts? I went to the Red Store.
Speaker 2: I loved it, but I wasn't a swifty yet good bit.
Speaker 2: This is a good bit. I just remember thinking, this
Speaker 2: girl is massively talented. I got to meet her backstage
Speaker 2: after it. I remember all I said to her is,
Speaker 2: I can't believe that was you. She was in a
Speaker 2: buttonhoun shirt, petal pusher bets and her hair looks so normal.
Speaker 2: She just looked normal, but she says this girl flying
Speaker 2: through the air performing for a stadium. I just remember
Speaker 2: being like, I can't believe that's you out there, Like,
Speaker 2: look at you. You're just normal, And she was like,
Speaker 2: isn't it crazy? She's just so relatable and cool. I
Speaker 2: was a fan, but the swiftie in me hadn't sunk
Speaker 2: in yet. That didn't happen until I was lying in
Speaker 2: bed listening to nineteen eighty nine. It had just come
Speaker 2: out and it was like the way people describe doing heroin.
Speaker 2: It just hit my veins. I remember thinking, my life
Speaker 2: will never be the same. This is part of who
Speaker 2: I am liking. This woman is part of my identity now.
Speaker 2: It just felt like the same way when I found
Speaker 2: stand up, Like I'm never gonna be the same page.
Speaker 2: Is more of this holiday weekend filler coming up? Oh yes?
Speaker 2: John oliver Is spoked to Variety. He talked about the
Speaker 2: low hanging fruit that is political comedy in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: and he said, it's not necessarily a gift that you want,
Speaker 2: to be honest, technically, it's a gift, but it's not
Speaker 2: a great one. I think the tendency is often to
Speaker 2: think that it writes itself I promise you it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Everything moves so fast nowadays you can get first take
Speaker 2: jokes online very quickly, so you have to be writing
Speaker 2: the most obvious joke for anything to have that kind
Speaker 2: of surprise factor. On top of that, things are very
Speaker 2: bleak when you're writing jokes. I'm still laughing about the
Speaker 2: triumph Deally ticking Glazer. When you're writing jokes, you want
Speaker 2: to try and find a way to deal with the
Speaker 2: bleakness that isn't kind of fiddling while Rome burns. One
Speaker 2: of the flaws of the way American elections work is
Speaker 2: so much of it is about personality and non policy.
Speaker 2: The policy stuff, of course, is so much more interesting
Speaker 2: and definitely so much more important, and that could be
Speaker 2: a problem, especially when you're writing comedy. It can seem
Speaker 2: encounterintuitive to say, don't look at this subjectively funny thing.
Speaker 2: As for Trump, because it's the third time he's running
Speaker 2: for president, there isn't much more to say about this guy.
Speaker 2: He's an open book. I don't know what we can
Speaker 2: really add in terms of content that we haven't done already.
Speaker 2: So it actually it feels easier to talk about other things.
Speaker 2: That was not the case in twenty sixteen, Walter spoke
Speaker 2: to Josh Johnson, who, two days after the assassination attempt
Speaker 2: on Trump's life at least a forty five minute set
Speaker 2: about the attempt, written and recorded the day it occurred.
Speaker 2: It currently has over eight hundred thousand views. Johnson has
Speaker 2: been writing and recording twelve to forty five minute sets
Speaker 2: inspired by topical events, including Justin Timberlake's arrest at the FBA,
Speaker 2: rate On Diddy's house, Joe Biden dropping out, and more.
Speaker 2: Josh says, I've always been writing a lot ever since
Speaker 2: I started. When I lived in Chicago, which is where
Speaker 2: I started doing comedy, open MIC's were four or five minutes,
Speaker 2: and in my head, it just made more sense to
Speaker 2: try a different set every time. It wasn't always productive,
Speaker 2: because I still learned to do stand up and I
Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily getting the repetition of a concentrated four or
Speaker 2: five minute set, but I still felt like I was
Speaker 2: exercising a different muscle which was generating a large amount
Speaker 2: of general output. When I started, all of my real
Speaker 2: heroes and stand up were timeless, so I very much
Speaker 2: wanted to be timeless. I felt like being topical and
Speaker 2: current was the antithesis of that. When I realized I
Speaker 2: was writing really fast and I was getting bored with
Speaker 2: my own ideas very quickly, I was like, what if
Speaker 2: I gave this topical thing a shot. I wanted to
Speaker 2: start post more. I wanted to start sharing what I've
Speaker 2: been creating. I had these notebooks full of jokes that
Speaker 2: were going nowhere, and it was important to me to
Speaker 2: try to share that with people. And I couldn't have
Speaker 2: imagined the journey that's been taking me down. People have
Speaker 2: really taken me in a way that's hard to describe.
Speaker 2: Sometimes when you see a video, it's my first time
Speaker 2: doing it. I just wrote out as much as possible
Speaker 2: and did my best to memorize it, and I'm feeling
Speaker 2: out the rest of the connective tissue by the audience's reactions.
Speaker 2: I go. And sometimes I've been able to do it
Speaker 2: two or three times. I think the two ways to
Speaker 2: be different is to either have one of the more
Speaker 2: nuanced takes about the big thing everybody's talking about, or
Speaker 2: to talk about the thing nobody is talking about. Ult
Speaker 2: to talk to John Mlini about Langston Kerman's new special.
Speaker 2: Milleni is the director on it, and said not to
Speaker 2: sound conceited or big brothery, but it very much reminded
Speaker 2: me of the special I did in twenty eleven New
Speaker 2: in Town. I was like, Langston is really sought after
Speaker 2: as a writer and actor as well, and everyone knows
Speaker 2: he's a good stand up, but he's got a great
Speaker 2: hour that's got to get out. When I felt when
Speaker 2: I recorded my special was this is everything since I
Speaker 2: started stand up. These are the type of bits I've
Speaker 2: been trying to nail, and now I have a whole
Speaker 2: row with them, and they add up to an hour,
Speaker 2: and I want to do this right now. Every bit
Speaker 2: of the special is a take home bit. I always
Speaker 2: think of specials like album tracks. In each of these
Speaker 2: is a hit to mein critique of most specials is
Speaker 2: and I wish it'd be hard on myself too. Every
Speaker 2: part of it has to be good. Just wait if
Speaker 2: you don't have it. This hour was so tight and
Speaker 2: ready to go. The reason of film it was because
Speaker 2: it was so good. As opposed to somebody just saying
Speaker 2: I need to or want to make another special, Langston said.
Speaker 2: We wanted the special to cool and not like a
Speaker 2: silly thing that other people are doing, and m'laney said, yeah,
Speaker 2: and if I named any of the things we avoided,
Speaker 2: you could go find out what specials I'm probably talking about.
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna do that. I've got some corner.
Speaker 2: Ricky Gervais has shown fans his new fourteen and a
Speaker 2: half million pound home in Hampstead, nine bathrooms, a spa
Speaker 2: and its own gym and hope, so for that kind
Speaker 2: of coin, Ricky went on Instagram and posted the entrance
Speaker 2: hall and marble staircase, as well as a large room
Speaker 2: that he's using as an office. He says, though it's
Speaker 2: not going to be a forever home, his longtime partner Jeane,
Speaker 2: who's sixty three. Ricky is also sixty three. Jeane has
Speaker 2: concerns about living there in their eighties. Ricky said, I
Speaker 2: thought the last house was going to be the one
Speaker 2: I was going to die in. Bill Simmons has Adam
Speaker 2: Sandler on the Monday episode. I tried to listen to it.
Speaker 2: I'm not even I've been dissing Adam Sandling here. The
Speaker 2: audio quality was horrific. I can't believe Bill Simmons actually
Speaker 2: put it out and nobody cleaned it up. Terrible, unlistenable.
Speaker 2: Rob Schneider is weighing in on politics. He put out
Speaker 2: a lengthy statement, I'm going to skim through it when
Speaker 2: I raise my voice here. Those are words that Rob
Speaker 2: Schneider put out in caps, the words of Rob Schneider,
Speaker 2: de your fellow Robert Kennedy, Junior supporters and American citizens.
Speaker 2: As we have seen this week, once again, the Democratic
Speaker 2: Party is not running on any ideas to make American
Speaker 2: lives better. There once again running on the hatred of
Speaker 2: one individual, Donald J. Trump, and they are hoping that
Speaker 2: you will hate him so much that you will forget
Speaker 2: about the Democrats forever, wars that are pushing the world
Speaker 2: closer to World War three in the primary, affecting a
Speaker 2: coup pushing out a duly elected president and much like
Speaker 2: the Soviet politbureau installing the new puppet leader who had
Speaker 2: the lowest approval rating of any form or vice president. Dude,
Speaker 2: relax with the caps. He sound crazy. I kind of
Speaker 2: want to slip in a triumph here and do that.
Speaker 2: And who still refused to take any questions from the press. Yes,
Speaker 2: the Democrats are hoping. It's much funnier this way, isn't it. Yes,
Speaker 2: the Democrats are hoping that you hate Trump more than
Speaker 2: you love your country and your free speech, your children's
Speaker 2: education and safety, and your freedoms. Rob Schneider doing a
Speaker 2: half ass triumph, continue to write as a fellow American
Speaker 2: citizen and Robert Kennedy Junior supporter, I hope that you
Speaker 2: will oppost tyranny and join us and vote for Donald J.
Speaker 2: Trump for President of the United States of America. Schneider
Speaker 2: concluded his message with an image of the American flag.
Speaker 2: Send your letters to Rob Schneider. Tonight, Seth Myers will
Speaker 2: host a stand up show with the Martha's Vineyard Performing
Speaker 2: Arts Center to benefit the friends of the chill Mark
Speaker 2: pre School. According to the organization's board president, the school
Speaker 2: is currently a capacity and has how to turn local
Speaker 2: families away. They need three and a half million dollars
Speaker 2: for the new facility. Seth Myers Hooking it up. Seth said,
Speaker 2: it's nice to know that are there are places where
Speaker 2: our kids can start to experiment with creativity and learning.
Speaker 2: When I walk into a preschool, I wish that my
Speaker 2: kids were dropping me off. I can't remember the last
Speaker 2: time somebody gave me a full ninety minutes to fingerpaint.
Speaker 2: Expect the show to include dad jokes that says, no
Speaker 2: matter how little you like a dad joke before you
Speaker 2: become a father, it becomes impossible to hold them back.
Speaker 2: Once you become a dad. It's pretty much all you
Speaker 2: can think about. Please Don't Destroy and Friends. Live sketch
Speaker 2: comedy from the Please Don't Destroy Guys plus some Special
Speaker 2: Guess will be at the reopening of the Upright Citizens
Speaker 2: Brigade Theater in New York City. The show's part of
Speaker 2: a week long run of performances taking place at the
Speaker 2: new UCB Theater starting September thirteenth. The theater has moved to
Speaker 2: a new location in the East Village and is currently
Speaker 2: running preview shows leading up to the grand reopening. Shannon
Speaker 2: Fielder has a new special it's called thirty, flirty and Crying.
Speaker 2: In it, she riffs on universal topics such as the
Speaker 2: horrors of dating, the pressures of ordering the right wine,
Speaker 2: and the inherent dangers of using public restrooms. Let's listen, thirty.
Speaker 1: Two is not a cool age. Taylor Swift does not sing.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I'm.
Speaker 1: Feeling my mortality like I have just as many friends
Speaker 1: that have babies as I do that have drug dealers,
Speaker 1: and actually many of them are the same friend. I
Speaker 1: spent all of my twenties dating guys just like Aladdin overconfident,
Speaker 1: compulsive liars who wear vests. You might know them as bankers.
Speaker 2: Shannon says. While the themes in point of view of
Speaker 2: this show are similar to my videos, thirty flirty and
Speaker 2: Crying is a much more personal exploration of the topics.
Speaker 2: I'm always riffing on stand up as a place where
Speaker 2: I'm not taking on characters, but instead sharing my own
Speaker 2: stories and opinions. Shannon Fielder was named a Comic to
Speaker 2: Watch at the twenty twenty three New York Comedy Festival.
Speaker 2: And that is your comedy news for today. If you
Speaker 2: enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might
Speaker 2: like it too. A lot of new listeners. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's because of Apple changed something last week.
Speaker 2: They added away for the android people to come. So
Speaker 2: if you're new to the show, Hi, welcome, appreciate you,
Speaker 2: and I'll see you back here tomorrow.
