00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga Shark Media Happy Monday, I'm the Johnny Macbot with

2
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 1>today's daily comedy news. Cracked asked Anthony Jesselnick what makes

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>you better than your peers. Anthony said, I would say,

4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>as politically as I can, that I have a higher bar.

5
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I write more jokes, and I fail with more jokes

6
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.199
<v Speaker 1>in order to get to that great one where some

7
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>people just say that's good enough. Like some people are like, well,

8
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna go up there and talk and they

9
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>get a laugh, and you know that's okay. Lest I

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.479
<v Speaker 1>think some comics they say something backstage and their friends

11
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>laugh and they're like, oh great, and they go out

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and they say it on stage and the audience doesn't laugh,

13
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, huh, it's still a good joke. That's

14
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>not the way it works. I don't think I'm more talented.

15
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think i'm smarter. I just think I have

16
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a higher bar. That's why it

17
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>takes longer in between specials. I choose fewer projects because

18
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I really want to make every little bit of it great.

19
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think some people are like, you know what,

20
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>let's just make that wall look good and we'll ignore

21
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the room. There's a subculture on YouTube

22
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>where they collect clips and then put them together, and

23
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 1>they're making just as much money as everybody else. There

24
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 1>was one where I was making fun of Bert Kreischer

25
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>and Tom Segura for a lot of the stuff they

26
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>were doing, but it was very subtle. Then I run

27
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 1>into Bert Kreischer at the comedy store and he's acting

28
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 1>a little weird and he's just not as gregarious as normal.

29
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>And I get home and I see they put together

30
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>all of these clips into one thing, and when you

31
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 1>put it in without context, it looks like I'm trying

32
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to bury the guy. And it's like, no, I'm just

33
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>messing around. I think I'm just too well versed in

34
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in comedy. I shouldn't know anything about

35
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>what Tim Dillon did last month, and I know so

36
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>so much. If I didn't, would I be angry? Would

37
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>I ever think about it again? They also asked him

38
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>about the shade he throws in Chappelle's general direction in

39
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the new special. Jesselnick said, it's more powerful to not

40
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>use his name, but I can't imagine you watch that

41
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>bit without thinking that's exactly who I'm talking about He's

42
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>considered the greatest stand up comic alive right now, and

43
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>he's been riding this wave of bull crap for so

44
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>so long that I think it would have done the

45
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>bit a disservice to actually say his name, But I

46
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you could watch that without understanding it.

47
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I hope that, in the same way that I think

48
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 1>that thoughts and prayers stop people from saying thoughts and prayers,

49
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I would hope that my trans bit squashes ninety nine

50
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>percent of trans material. I think obviously make fun of

51
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>these people, but you can make jokes about race without

52
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the racial slurs. That's something that I will never condone

53
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>in comedy. I'm hoping that maybe people will up their

54
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 1>game a little bit, especially in terms of trans material.

55
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be this lightning rod. It can

56
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 1>just be a subject. Jim Gaffigan and Conan O'Brien recently

57
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>praised Martin Short as comedy's most devastating roaster, surpassing even

58
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Don Rickles. Wow. Gaffigan was on Conan and said Short

59
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 1>is beyond a doubt, the quickest, the meanest, and so funny.

60
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty high praise. Wow, Jim said at a recent

61
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>show at the Beacon, he literally walked out and stole

62
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the whole show, just dressing us down for five minutes,

63
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>and he left. He's seventy five years old. He walked out,

64
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 1>ripped into us left, and everyone's like, well, that's the

65
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 1>best part of the show. Cohen In said, the writing

66
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 1>is so sharp. He can do it ad lib, but

67
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I think he as so has some jokes prepared ahead

68
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 1>of time. He can hide in the fat suit and

69
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>say things like, you know, your career never quite took off,

70
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>now did it. The Pitch KC caught up with Matt Bronger.

71
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Matt said, when I was a kid, I did a

72
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of plays in musicals. I figured that was it.

73
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd watch the oscars and say that I want to

74
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>do those things. Now that I've been in this world

75
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>for so long, the goal is to make as much

76
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>cool stuff as you can while you're here. It's not

77
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>about this massive achievement. I've learned that you're better off

78
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>if you just keep honing your craft, but be open

79
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>to things. I wish I hadn't been so judgmental about

80
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>stuff that I didn't want to do or didn't want

81
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>to do when I was younger. I know my position

82
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 1>in this strange universe is to be the silly one.

83
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'll be the silly one and I'll look foolish

84
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>if it works. There's so many ways to be creative

85
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 1>and to express yourself other than how I saw it

86
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>through the tunnel vision of a young actor's eyes. I've

87
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 1>never really thought i'd be a stand up, and that's

88
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>been my main meal ticket. I still love it after

89
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty plus years, and I've been an actor even longer.

90
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I find the more you practice your art, the more

91
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>peace you have in your life. These days, we're always

92
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>looking for quick fixes to this simple pain of existence.

93
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>But if you find something that can be an outlet

94
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 1>for what you need to express yourself in this world,

95
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and you can make a couple bucks at it, it's

96
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty incredible. Matt also loves being a dad. It's one

97
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 1>of those things I never thought I would get a

98
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>chance to do, and it takes over everything in my

99
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>life in the best possible way and gives me an

100
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>incredible perspective. It will beat the crap out of you,

101
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>but it'll give you life and purpose like you've never imagined.

102
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Chloe Radcliffe has launched in Tandem, a new interview series

103
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>filming comics biking through Central Park and La River. She

104
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>says it's like comedians and cars for less successful people.

105
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>The show premiered last week with Ralph Barbosa. There's something

106
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>that happens to you when you ride a bike that

107
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>makes everything a little lighter, more fun, and more care free.

108
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Because we aren't making eye contact, I think people can

109
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>relax a little bit. Radcliffe says the show uses a

110
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>go pro rigged tandem bike from her Bushwick shop. New

111
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>episodes drop Wednesdays at nine am Eastern Time on YouTube.

112
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Virdaz finds American cancel culture debates amusing compared to his

113
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>experience in India. He told The Hollywood Reporter, the American

114
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>cancel culture archetype is cute. Every time an American comedian

115
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>complains about getting canceled, I'm like, grab a flight to India.

116
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Just let me show you something. After facing serious threats

117
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>in India, Doz took a strategic approach. I didn't really

118
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 1>milk my controversy. I just shut up and wrote a show,

119
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.199
<v Speaker 1>put the show up, and then that show got some

120
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>acclaim I wasn't doing the equivalent of crying on Oprah.

121
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>After winning an International Emmy, Doz highlighted its significance for underdogs.

122
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>If you're looking for an award ceremony that supports the

123
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>underdog purely on the might of their content, the International

124
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Emmys are it. Mac Packer Andy Samberg revealed on his

125
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 1>podcast that his shorts almost caused a wardrobe malfunction during

126
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>SNL's Here I Go sketch with Charlie XCX. Samberg said

127
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of debate about how high my

128
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.879
<v Speaker 1>shorts should be. After requesting even shorter shorts, he realized

129
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 1>during dancing that I really almost flopped out. I was like,

130
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>oh no, yikes. Brett Goldstein confirmedy fan theory that suggests

131
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Ted Lasso heavily references the Wizard of Oz. Brett told

132
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Entertainment Weekly Ted has to go home. There's no place

133
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>like home. He mapped characters to their Oz counterparts. Ted

134
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>is Dorothy Roy Kent is the tin Man, Rebecca is

135
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the Lion, and Jamie is the Scarecrow. While the show

136
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>appeared to end after three seasons, a fourth could happen

137
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>despite Joe Coy's rough reviews. In twenty twenty four, The

138
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Golden Globes saw ratings jump fifty percent to ten million viewers,

139
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>their highest since twenty twenty. You may recall Joe Coy's

140
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 1>appearance was controversial because of this joke he made about

141
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Swift. As you know, we came on after a

142
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and

143
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camber

144
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>shots of Taylor Swift. That's right, Scott Beckett. Even the

145
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>AI can do the bit. Nicki Glazer will host in

146
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, with over four months to prepare. She says,

147
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>some of my favorite jokes have come from past Golden

148
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Globes opening monologues, when Tina Amy or Ricky have said
