<v Speaker 1>Callaroga shark media.

2
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:11.560
<v Speaker 2>In there. I warn you they're about to over expose

3
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 2>in a Berghetzi. There are two big pieces in the

4
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Washington Post and The New York Times. I'll discuss them

5
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.120
<v Speaker 2>on the podcast tomorrow for reasons I'll explain later. Hi,

6
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. But I

7
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 2>did share them in the Facebook group, which is Daily

8
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Comedy News podcast group. Ronnie Chang special getting a lot

9
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>of buzz front of the show. Jason Zenimann has it

10
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 2>as the number one special of the year. My plan

11
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>was to watch it on Tuesday evening and discuss it tomorrow,

12
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:34.920
<v Speaker 2>and then I can record my end of the year list.

13
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Daily Times caught up with Ronnie. I also shared this

14
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 2>in the Facebook group, and they wrote Che's weapon of

15
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>choice as a wardrobe of tailored vintage threads fit for

16
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>a sixty spy caper. What a great description that is,

17
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>even on a day that finds him off stage in

18
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>his normal street wear, a dark blue sweater and ball

19
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>cap hiding ahead of tossled black hair. Chang's thoughtfulness in

20
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>discussing his recent career uptick is indicative of the international

21
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>mindset of a comic who combines old school style and

22
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>a new school prospect. The only time said aspects of

23
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 2>the special, oh spoilers, I'm spoiling myself because I haven't

24
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>seen it yet. As I record this are bound to

25
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>resonate with people your age, especially jokes about putting off

26
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>having kids for the sake of your career. Have your

27
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on putting off parenthood changed it all since filming

28
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>a special? Ronnie said, Yeah, it's interesting. I did the

29
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 2>bit and I was just kind of talking about what's

30
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>happening in my life, and I have to say not

31
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>to about myself on the back, but a lot of

32
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 2>people surprisingly have been relating to it, so it feels

33
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>like everyone in America is doing it. I wrote it

34
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>this year, so it's a very current bit. So I'm

35
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>still in that mindset. I'm a bad person to ask

36
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>about it because I don't have kids, so I don't

37
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>know everyone who does have kids tell me there's never

38
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>a good time, and it's fine. Bill Burr was telling

39
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>me that he wished he had more sooner, So all

40
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>that stuff gives me a kind of respective on it.

41
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Seinfeld told me that being married and not having kids

42
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 2>is like going to Disneyland and staying in the car park.

43
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 2>But everyone who's the comic who I admire seems to

44
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>say that it's not only okay to have kids were

45
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 2>working on your career, it's great. As for his attire,

46
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>when I did my first special, I wanted it to

47
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>look professional in classic because I didn't want it to

48
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>look amateur. Felt like it was an American to me,

49
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>this is the NBA of comedy and entertainment. Every special idea,

50
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 2>I try to have a visual aesthetic that matches a

51
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>classic American show business era. This one was Elvis in Hawaii.

52
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I've been lucky to film a few projects in Hawaii.

53
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I did at least one movie there. If not too

54
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>it'd sound so hacky to say I love Hawaii, but

55
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I definitely feel something there reminds me of the best

56
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>parts of Malaysia and the best parts of America in

57
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>one place, and was a shelter from my wife and

58
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I during the pandemic. All right, Ronnie Chang, are there

59
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>any comedy heroes you model yourself after? Interesting answer here,

60
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>He says, A lot of times, I'd model my decisions

61
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>after A Z's I'm sorry, I asked myself a lot like,

62
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>wou does Ese do that? And how Wouldeszz do a poster?

63
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Because he's very tasteful, obviously very funny, and he also

64
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>managed to do comedy in a way where he kind

65
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>of went beyond race. Everybody loved him. I don't know

66
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>about people who worked with him. Leave that there, John,

67
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't about his ethnicity. And he was sort

68
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>of a super funny comic and he was always very

69
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>stylish and tasteful, and he also didn't over expose himself

70
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>in terms of social media. Ronnie, he was canceled Google,

71
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>so he's very selective in what he did. Bill Burg

72
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>executive produced my special. I'm glad I can get advice

73
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 2>from Dave Chappelle and Seinfeld and all the greats of comedy.

74
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>Joe Coy gives me advice. I'm trying to imagine what

75
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 2>that advice would be. I would guess Joe Cooy's advice

76
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>would be like, if you're at the Golden Globes, don't

77
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>make a joke about Taylor Swift. No, I won't play it.

78
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I got a lot to do today. Uh, I film

79
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>my last special and Joe Coy had filmed a special

80
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>at the same place ten years before me. So I

81
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>called him and asked him, Hey, anything I should know

82
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>about this venue, and he gave me specific tips. He

83
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>told me to make up the balcony stuff like that.

84
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Ali Wang's always giving me advice. I'm very lucky to

85
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>be able to get advice from everybody. Also learned a

86
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>lot from John mulaney. John let me open for him

87
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>this year, and I got to see how he works

88
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 2>and how he runs his shows, and I got a

89
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 2>lot out of it, just logistically, how to organize the

90
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>show at that level. The look I picked was classic

91
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>American show business because quite honestly, it was easier for

92
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>me to look classic than to look fashionable. You just

93
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>have to put on a suit to make sure it fits.

94
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>When you try to look fashionable, you're trying to look

95
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>forward into what would be stylish or what will stay stylish.

96
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>So it's easier for me to look backwards for style

97
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>and be more classic and be more professional. He points out,

98
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 2>you can't dress that way doing spots in New York City.

99
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 2>I feel like if he did three piece suits every

100
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 2>single time, it almost looks like a gimmick, you know,

101
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of lose it's its impact. Interesting question here from

102
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>The La Times. Ronnie, do you think selling merch is

103
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 2>a comic is more trouble than it's worth? He said.

104
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I never want to sell something I wouldn't buy myself.

105
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>So if I wouldn't wear it every day proudly, why

106
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 2>would I try to sell it. And when you bring

107
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>merch on the road, everybody takes so much of a cut.

108
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't even make sense anymore unless you make it

109
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 2>into an entire operation and you outsource it. I'm happy

110
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>they bought a ticket. I don't need to extract more

111
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>money from them. But that's just me. I asked Bill

112
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Burr about this, because he doesn't really do much either.

113
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>I asked if he ever figured out and he's like, nah,

114
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>they take such a big cut and it's not worth it.

115
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm like, if Bill Burr can't figure it out,

116
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>then I don't think I can figure it out. I

117
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>do sell socks and vinyl on my website, so people

118
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>can buy socks and vinyl if they want to buy something,

119
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>but it's also an environmental thing. I just don't want

120
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>to sell something that would end up in a river

121
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 2>choking out a sea turtle. Nikki Glazer was on CBS

122
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 2>this morning. Now I'm gonna pull some clips here and

123
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>not comment on them. Why. I don't know if you're

124
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 2>picking me up. But I'm a little hyper so this

125
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>time year, everyone's home, and to publish the podcast, I

126
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>have to edit the podcast. To edit the podcast, I

127
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>have to voice the podcast. To voice the podcast, after

128
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>write the podcast, and I'm doing all that before some

129
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>members of the family wake up, and before another member

130
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>of the family comes home, and it's like, hey, I

131
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>want to use the workout equipment that's two feet from

132
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the studio, and I want to do laundry. So I'm

133
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 2>really trying to rush to get today's show done, and

134
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>I have to do some other stuff. I have to

135
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>do some voice work for the show I host on

136
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Live one, The Weekly Comedy Thing. It's free the Aposphere.

137
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 2>The show is free, The Weekly Comedy Thing on Live one.

138
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 2>So I'm a little hyper here. So I've pulled the

139
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Nikki audio, but I haven't at this point, as I'm

140
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>voicing this, I haven't said, oh, I'll put this clip here,

141
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>that clip there. So here's some random Nicki Glazer audio.

142
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>It really is fun to be me. It's it's been

143
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of hard work leading up to this point

144
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>of like a twenty two year career where some people

145
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>are suddenly starting to take notice on this kind of

146
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>like bigger scale. And I'm at a point in my

147
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>life where, you know, I'm old enough to kind of

148
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>handle this kind of attention and not let it go

149
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 1>to my head, know that it can go away at

150
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>any point, and feeling like I have you know, good family,

151
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 1>good friends around me, and and knowing like how to

152
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>do a gig like this. If I would have gotten

153
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 1>the Golden Globes five years ago, I would have not

154
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>really known how to handle it. I would have worked

155
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 1>myself too hard. I would have been crying, yea naked

156
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>getting a spray tann the night before, like what am

157
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I doing tomorrow? Like I've that was a moment. I

158
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of times in my life of like

159
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>like I have to be on TV tomorrow. And now

160
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>it's just like I know how to plan things, I

161
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 1>know how to train for them, and I just feel ready.

162
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Normally I would comment on that audio there, but I

163
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 2>explained to you I'm a little hyper today and I'm

164
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 2>just trying to get this done. New York Times reported

165
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 2>on Monday night, more than a dozen comedians walked into

166
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 2>a Broadway theater to talk about love among other people there.

167
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>David Letterman, by the way, I'm the guest on the

168
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Letterman Podcast on Friday, and I dropped a hint in

169
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 2>the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group about that

170
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>interview and the numbers one one, and now I think

171
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 2>like we've over hyped it. Mike Chishom, the host of

172
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Letterman Podcast Night, I think we've overhyped it. I'm using

173
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>the interview if you don't want to listen to it

174
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>on the Letterman Podcast, but you should. I'm using it

175
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>here as the January first episode, so it's one less

176
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 2>thing for me to pretape over the holidays. That's all.

177
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 2>No major announcement. Sorry if we override that. That was

178
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.439
<v Speaker 2>not the intention. I was just trying to be fun anyway.

179
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>At the theater, Letterman, Tom Hank, Steve Martin, Pete Davidson,

180
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Olivia Munn, John Stewart, and some others. They were there

181
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 2>to see all in Comedy About Love by Simon Rich.

182
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>It opens December twenty second at the Hudson Theater. Olivia

183
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Munn and John m'laney greeted each other with a kiss

184
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.519
<v Speaker 2>and explain they hadn't seen each other much. Olivia said

185
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.319
<v Speaker 2>the hardest thing right now is having a toddler and

186
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 2>a newborn. They try to schedule date nights, but then

187
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>they'll look at each other and say, should we just

188
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.639
<v Speaker 2>stay home instead. M'laney said, that's the best type of

189
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>date night when we both want to bail. John Stewart

190
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>was wearing jeans and a New York Ranger as a

191
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 2>camp with a tan jacket. His answer about love is

192
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>it has to do with gummies. Fred Armison said the

193
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>thing I've told my wife. We've been married almost twenty

194
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 2>five years, and I tell her the same thing every day.

195
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I wake up, look at her the eye and say,

196
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>lower your expectations, and then I live up to them.

197
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Pete Davidson said, I don't really have advice except I

198
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>guess be patient, be yourself, and hopefully you'll meet the

199
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>right person. The more you try and look, the more

200
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>you freak yourself out. I think it should happen organically.

201
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Mack added, record your podcast when she's not at home.

202
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Then you don't have to fight over why you're doing

203
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.839
<v Speaker 2>the laundry when I'm trying to record. That's a big

204
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>tip there. Andrew Schultz on his podcast, he continued to

205
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>discuss the issues between himself and Kendrick Lamar. Schultz things

206
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Kendrick is taking a page from Taylor Swift's victim playbook.

207
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh oh. Schultz said, Kendrick really is the Taylor Swift

208
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>of hip hop in that no matter what he does,

209
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 2>he's still the victim, no matter what. Like you know

210
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>how Taylor's always the victim. Like she's the biggest in

211
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>music history. She's a victim to the label, She's a

212
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>victim to Scooter Braun, she's a victim to her boyfriend's

213
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>and yet she's the biggest in the world. Somehow, Kendrick

214
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>is the victim here. I'll let she's also a victim

215
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 2>of Joe Coy's vicious I mean, his joke was so vicious.

216
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I know earlier I didn't play it, but I think

217
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Andrew brings up a thing here. Listen to how mean

218
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Joe Cooy was about Taylor Swift. A big difference between

219
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>the Golden Gloves and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves,

220
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift, right, I mean,

221
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 2>that's vicious. And then she justifiably made a face and

222
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 2>turned the room against Joe Coy and made everybody say

223
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Joe Coy did a terrible job hosting. I mean, really,

224
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.080
<v Speaker 2>to suggest that an NFL game has more shots of

225
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Swift than the Golden Globes, I mean, absolutely absurd.

226
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Schultz then broke down the timeline of the beef with Kendrick.

227
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.679
<v Speaker 2>According to Schultz, Kendrick dropped whacked out morals and mentioned

228
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Schultz's friends on the song. Then, according to this recap,

229
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 2>death threats start after Kendrick fans threatened Schultz and his

230
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 2>family on social media. Schultz said he was quiet for

231
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 2>two weeks and finally said, all of kendricks fans go,

232
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 2>how could you say that? And then Schultz shot back

233
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>something vulgar. Schultz's quote is saying, all of Kendrick's fans go,

234
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>how could you say that? Oh my god, you can't

235
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.320
<v Speaker 2>go there. You can't take it there. But I thought

236
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.519
<v Speaker 2>y'all get there when you said you're gonna kill my

237
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.080
<v Speaker 2>family member. So wait, you can kill my family member,

238
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 2>But I can't vulgar thing. I'm really cleaning up here,

239
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 2>and I'm avoiding something I don't want to voice. You

240
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 2>can listen to Andrew Schultz podcast, Margaret Show in a

241
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 2>light hot of water, So there's no such thing as

242
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 2>light hot lukewarm water. Margaret Show and lukewarm water really

243
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 2>rushing today. I under a lot of pressure to get

244
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 2>this one done. Let's see. Margaret was on the Out

245
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>one hundred Red Carpet, an event hosted by Out magazine

246
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 2>that honors the most significant LGBTQ plus individuals for the year.

247
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>In a video interview, she was asked, who are you

248
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 2>holding space for right now? She replied, the United Healthcare

249
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.039
<v Speaker 2>CEO Shooter. I'm holding space for as most people I

250
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 2>know are. We're holding space for those eyebrows, that body

251
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 2>the abs. Here's Morgan jumped in and said, sickening. What

252
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>is wrong with these people? Apparently what we do in

253
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 2>the Shadows had its series finale. This is the thing

254
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 2>that happened. I missed it. They sure didn't promote it.

255
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I knew about the Yellowstone finale, but apparently

256
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 2>the series is over, very very very very light spoilers

257
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>from the AV Club. I didn't even read the entire

258
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 2>article because I didn't want to spoil myself. I like

259
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 2>that show. I don't even know if I knew it

260
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 2>was on. I'm sure I told you was on, but

261
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 2>like I forgot about it because it's on regular TV

262
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 2>and I don't come across it. But apparently Finale was

263
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a funny half hour of what the aft do you

264
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.720
<v Speaker 2>actually want from us? Utterly ruthless in the face of

265
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 2>any back of bringing impulse to go for in Everybody

266
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Hugs Moment Shadows, Finale instead plays tribute to its history

267
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 2>while thumbing its nose at the idea of deeper meanings.

268
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, that sounds pretty good. I'll have to catch

269
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 2>up on that. On Gossip Corner, Chevy Chase went out

270
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 2>for steak in Peoria. He was at Jim's Steakhouse over

271
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. Waitress Gala said Chase and his family arrived

272
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 2>around six point thirty on Saturday, and said, I was

273
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 2>just super excited to meet him, you know, and I

274
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>was really obviously honored to be able to wait on

275
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.840
<v Speaker 2>him and his family. Kristin, the manager, described Chase as

276
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 2>a normal, regular family type of guy. Kayla, the waitress,

277
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 2>said I did hear him say something about he was

278
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 2>just glad they could all be there for dinner. I

279
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>just try to give him that time. The space to

280
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 2>eat and you know, enjoy time with his family. Kristin,

281
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the manager, said, we put a picture on the table

282
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 2>for him to sign for us to put up on

283
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>the wall, and I hear that he cracked a joke

284
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that we hang it in the ladies room.

285
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>While in Peoria, Chase spoke to the Peoria Journal Star

286
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 2>and he was asked who should be on the Mount

287
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 2>Rushmore of comedy. Chevy's answer, I'd want to have Danny ackroyd,

288
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Richard Pryor, Ernie Kovacs, and Charlie Chaplin with me. Well

289
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 2>that's five. So first of all, there's only four on

290
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Mount Rushmore. And if I weren't trying to get today's

291
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.080
<v Speaker 2>podcast done as quickly as possible, I would comment on

292
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 2>that list some other time. Chevy said, those are the ones.

293
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>They really are cracked point out that Richard Pryor would

294
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 2>not want to be on the mountain with Chevy. Day

295
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 2>saw were is Paul Mooney's book Becoming Richard Pryor. In

296
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 2>the book, apparently, Mooney wrote, Chevy Chase was the doll baby,

297
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the darling of the discotheque with straight teeth, and Richard

298
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>wanted to knock them out There was supposed to be

299
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>a show on Monday Night aimed at bringing together communities

300
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 2>from both sides of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Debate. Don't

301
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Hate would have taken place at Stand Up New York.

302
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Organizers were forced to cancel after pro Palestinian comedians withdrew.

303
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Palestinian comedian Ahman El Hussini wrote to the organizers, thanks

304
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.879
<v Speaker 2>for reaching out, but I can't share the stage with

305
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.639
<v Speaker 2>any Zaionazis while my people in Arabs in the region

306
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 2>are being decipated and genocided. So Israelis can have beach

307
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 2>houses in more Land, that's not theirs. Libyan comedian Mohand

308
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.799
<v Speaker 2>El Shaiki posted on Instagram claiming the now canceled show

309
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>was a little debate about why murdering children is wrong.

310
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Helen Rosner is a Palestinian activist and wrote, some comedy

311
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>club in New York City is apparently putting on a

312
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 2>both sides night about Israel's annihilation of Gaza, inviting me

313
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.200
<v Speaker 2>to build a more inclusive community. Organizer Robin Lemberg told

314
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.120
<v Speaker 2>The New York Post the intention was not to debate genocide.

315
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Humor is one of the most powerful tools we have

316
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>to lower defenses. In foster connection. It disarms anger and fear,

317
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 2>opening the door to conversations that would otherwise feel impossible.

318
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.240
<v Speaker 2>The facts are that anti Semitism is growing exponentially to

319
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 2>diminish the rise of Islamophobia as well. That concerns me

320
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.399
<v Speaker 2>personally and feels awful for all of us. Comedian Elon

321
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Gold told the Post it's a missed opportunity. The whole

322
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 2>point of comedy, beside the laughing part, is the unifying

323
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and the sharing of the human experience, and if comedians

324
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.960
<v Speaker 2>on both sides of this can't get their literal act together,

325
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm concerned for the rest of humanity. Donnie Zuldan, the

326
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>founder of Stand Up New York and someone I'm friendly with,

327
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>and we work together in the back of the podcast

328
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>company a website called the Algeimer dot com, they say

329
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>last week on Thursday, Donnie released an open letter addressed

330
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 2>to the Propalstinian Comics. According the report, the letter said,

331
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>by participating, you're not endorsing any narrative or perspective other

332
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>than your own. You're helping to create a space where

333
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 2>others can see what it looks like to sit in

334
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>the same room, listen and engage without fear or anger

335
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>dictating the conversation. We need your voices, we need your humor,

336
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and most importantly, we need your courage to engage on

337
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.039
<v Speaker 2>a happier note if you're me. The National Film Registry

338
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>has put Star Trek two into the National Film Registry. Yeah,

339
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 2>big fan of that. I wrote about it on my

340
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 2>substack mcdeepod dot substack dot com link in the show notes.

341
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 2>But we're running along here, and as much as I

342
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about Star Trek to the Wrath of

343
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 2>KHN for twenty minutes, I'll refer you to the substack

344
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and bring it back to comedy. Beverly Hills Cop from

345
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.480
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty four is the first live action Eddie Murphy

346

347
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 2>chongs up in smoke. Congratulations to those guys, and that

348
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>is your comedy news for today. Whew, I got it done.
