00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. Matt Reiche tells Formes his overnight success was

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>a decade in the making. He was fifteen when he

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>landed on Wild and Out, remember that on MTV. He

5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>was in sixteen episodes. He said, I got Wilding Out

6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>and that was a phenomenal launching platform from my career,

7
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 1>but it's not what I want to do forever, which

8
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>is why I left the show. Trying to make his

9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>name in comedy, he said he was getting a few

10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars a show and paying for his own flights,

11
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>while sensing that he was capable of a much more

12
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Raife says, nobody wants to pay any attention. How am

13
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I to get in front of people? If nobody wants

14
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>to give me a chance. I'm not asking you for

15
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 1>anything drastic, just an opportunity to get in front of people.

16
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>My friend was like, want you to do yourself. You're

17
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>sitting here complaining about how nobody will give you an opportunity.

18
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you create your own opportunity. Man, You have

19
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a following and comedians are starting

20
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>to put their stuff out on YouTube. Wyann't you just

21
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>do that? That was the advice that led him to

22
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>call his first YouTube special OnlyFans. That was a playful

23
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>response to fans frequently asking if he had an only

24
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 1>fans page. People kept checking to see if I had

25
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>an only fans page, and I was getting tweets all

26
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 1>the time asking about it. That's when the adult theme

27
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>platform exploded, and I thought if I named the special OnlyFans,

28
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a number one Google. He funded the special

29
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>through a go Fundme. He raised close to thirty grand

30
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and says, I think fifteen or twenty thousand was what

31
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I was really praying for, And for some reason, people

32
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>were so supportive. People really believed in me and wanted

33
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 1>this product. Only forty people attended that taping. Only Fans

34
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>now boast thirteen million views on YouTube. His second special,

35
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Matthew steven Rife has twenty one million views. His third,

36
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Walking Red Flag is thirteen million. You may recall he

37
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>sold out two hundred and sixty dates in forty eight hours.

38
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>He said, I remember lying in bed his tickets went

39
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>on sale. My phone blew up with a message from

40
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>my agent. This sold out, This sold out, and I'm like,

41
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't go on sale five minutes ago blew my mind.

42
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Adding Ford my passions in film and television, acting and development.

43
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>That's really where I want my career to go. There

44
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>might be a day where I'm only doing movies. I

45
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have the time to do stand up anymore, at

46
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>least tour the way I'm doing now. Touring has been

47
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 1>my life for thirteen years now, and it's all I've

48
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 1>ever done. But it might not always be that way.

49
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Interesting Whilston Magazine asked Dane Cook about TV shows about

50
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>comedians like Has or Missus Mazel. Dane said, I think

51
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Ax is wonderful. I had the real privilege of sharing

52
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the stage a couple times with Hannah Einbinder. She was like,

53
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm such a huge fan. That made me feel great.

54
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 1>I forget that I had been around for a minute.

55
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 1>We had this fun back and forth talking each other up.

56
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 1>With Mazel, I'm so far behind, but I love it.

57
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I grew up loving films like The King of Comedy

58
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Anything I kind of pulled back the curtain of funny

59
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 1>people in the world of show business I was infatuated with.

60
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I'm developing something now that's kind of similar

61
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and I've never had so much fun failing miserably trying

62
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>to get something off the ground. They asked Dane, what's

63
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 1>your process? And Dane said, this is my favorite question

64
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 1>because I wish you could get me and ten other

65
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>comics on a call and say how do you write?

66
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Because it's so different. I found it in ninety seven.

67
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>If I wrote something down, when I looked at it again,

68
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd say, I'm unfunny, I stink. I realized that when

69
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I wrote something down, I hated it and thought it

70
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 1>was terrible. But if I went on stage and just

71
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>tried it on a dead Monday night, somewhere there was hope.

72
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>If I organically talk about the first thought I have,

73
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 1>instead of trying to write things that I don't even

74
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>know if they're funny or not, it's better. Had his

75
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Dane deal with hecklers, He said, I had a Heckler

76
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 1>moment a few weeks ago and she said something about

77
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 1>my wife, something about my relationship, and I got really angry.

78
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>But I learned something in therapy years ago. When someone

79
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>makes you angry, respond with honesty. So I enjoy that

80
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>process instead of just hammering them, I'm gonna invite them

81
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>to the table, so to speak. I shoot the hecker,

82
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 1>like I know you need to get something off your chest.

83
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll invite them, We'll go back and forth, and at

84
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the end of that, I'll hit them with some final zinger.

85
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 1>But if you're talking about people who are just disruptive

86
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and rude, they're ruining the show for people around them.

87
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I get emails from people ten years later saying, we

88
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>still think about the night Jonathan I got drunk at

89
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>your show and you just scarlet letter to him Dane Cook,

90
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>who's the funniest person you know? Dane says, it remains

91
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Dave Chappelle. He makes me laugh. I had the luxury

92
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of doing TD Garden with him back in October. He

93
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>asked me to be a surprise guest, and I hadn't

94
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 1>been on stage in the Garden since I did Vicious Circle.

95
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I do my twenty minutes and I killed. Honestly, turned

96
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to my wife and said, no way, Dave's gonna be better,

97
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 1>but he comes out. My wife and I were wiping

98
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>tears away. I was giving him a standing ovation mid set.

99
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Who's the comedian that you weren't four but he'd most

100
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>like to meet? He said, Oh Man, George Carlin. At

101
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>times in my career when there was pushback against me

102
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and people were not happy to see you succeeding, he

103
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 1>inspired me. I remember Carlin doing the hippie dippy weather Man,

104
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and then the day he went on TV and killed it.

105
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>He brought the cardboard cut out and threw it out

106
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 1>of the frame and said he's dead. I'm not this guy,

107
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and he literally kind of killed his career and allowed

108
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 1>himself to say I'm changing, and if you don't like it,

109
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't give a rat's ass. Worst moment on stage ever, Dane,

110
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 1>He said, I was in a comedy group and we

111
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 1>did The Garden in nineteen ninety two as part of

112
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>wbcn's Rock of Boston show. Fish was the closing act.

113
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a good show. They put us on, not

114
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the show, but two plus hours anyway,

115
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 1>right after the spin Doctors and before Fish. Being huge

116
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Fish fans, he'd sig here crowd through lighters and sandals.

117
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I got a welt on my neck. I got hit

118
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 1>so hard with the lighter. I swear to you, if

119
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it hit me in the I would have lost my sight.

120
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 1>When I describe it, I say, you ever see the

121
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>opening of Saving Private Ryan you picture of that but

122
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with sandals and lighters. Dane All liked this question. For

123
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>a Sebastian Maniscalco, who was asked how do he put

124
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the material together for a new tour, Said've probably been

125
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>working on it for two years. It's not like I

126
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 1>go in some room and start writing down funny things.

127
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 1>It's more of living my life, extracting the humor in

128
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>everyday occurrences, whether it be hang out with my kids

129
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>or my take on Amazon. He tells a story. I

130
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 1>got two kids, five and seven. We don't bring the

131
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>iPads to dinner. But that being said, if you don't

132
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 1>bring out iPads, you basically become the iPad and or

133
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>just doing whatever you can at the dinner table to

134
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>entertain your kids, like I'm doing things from the eighties

135
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to try and entertain my kids. That's a little morsel

136
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>of something that I might be working on. And what

137
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing now is not where you're going to see

138
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the tour in April. Because as

139
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 1>I live life, material kind of comes. And I've noticed

140
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 1>as a comedian it seems that people really enjoy crowd work.

141
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm like you know what let me lean into the

142
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>crowd work a little bit. I think it personalizes the

143
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>show a bit more. You got to know where to

144
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>put it. I not, it's just from trial and error.

145
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>If you put it too early during the set, people

146
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden think they're part of the show

147
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>and they might yell stuff at you. So it's kind

148
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>of science. Were we drop it in? The Texas Chronicle

149
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 1>asked Shang Wang, if you hadn't discovered comedy, or if

150
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>comedy hadn't discovered you, what you'd be doing today. Shang

151
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Wang said, I don't really know. I don't think I

152
00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 1>would have been happy if I'd fall through with the

153
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>business track. I was in a poetry and photography and

154
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe i'd be some kind of a photographer perhaps, So

155
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really sure. I still like to dabble in that.

156
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll still shoot pictures all the time, and sometime in

157
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the future I might try to combine the two. One time,

158
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Scheng was asked best and worst comedy advice, and his

159
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>answer to worst advice was that he should do more

160
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Asian jokes. I don't know if things have changed or

161
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>things are changing, but I think something you come against

162
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 1>when you perform for the general public. I feel like,

163
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're somewhat of an ethnic minority or just

164
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 1>some kind of minority in general, in our society, you

165
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>feel pressure to do certain jokes, to dress certain issues,

166
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to be a certain way, and I think that advice

167
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>comes from that phenomenon. Like people when they see an

168
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Asian person go on stage, they assume that these are

169
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the type of jokes they should be saying. And I

170
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 1>think whoever gave me that advice at that mentality, I

171
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.079
<v Speaker 1>think it's terrible advice because it's not my nature to

172
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>do those type of jokes, and I grew up hearing jokes,

173
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>stereotypes and stuff like that that I find to be

174
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>very limiting because it doesn't allow to be who you

175
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>really are, to be a whole person. I think it's

176
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 1>much more free to do the jokes you really want

177
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>to do, and I think it's bad advice to limit

178
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>yourself in such a way. Nico Karney is one of

179
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 1>Vulture's comedians you should and will know. Nico says, the

180
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>first stand ups I love growing up where Tig Nataro,

181
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Mike Berbiglia, John Mulaney, Brian Reagan, and Jim Gaffigan. All right,

182
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>we see the lame there. I love comedians who use

183
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 1>language and cadence that is very specific to them. I

184
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 1>love Greer Barns. He makes it look effortless. I'm also

185
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a big fan of Julio Torres. Worst show Ever. I've

186
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>done plenty of shows at restaurants where the audience was

187
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 1>expecting a meal in surprise, there's a comedy show. Now,

188
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.199
<v Speaker 1>they could prepare you for doing anecdotal material about coming

189
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 1>out as trans to a room full of people who

190
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to eat their burritos in peace. One time,

191
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 1>he did a bar show where the mic was so

192
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 1>close to the end of the bar and the only

193
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>audience members were all seated at the bar, so it

194
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 1>was kind of like giving a toast group of strangers.

195
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 1>If I had to pick one worst show ever, it

196
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>was probably a college gig. They put me in a

197
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 1>massive auditorium. I performed to silence for less than a

198
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>dozen students, most of whom left. How many times have

199
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 1>we heard how horrible these college shows are. The faculty

200
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>member who organized it wanted me to stand in the

201
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>elevator before the show to promote it. The only thing

202
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>more humiliating than doing stand up for a group of

203
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>uninterested college students. Is barking for audience members and an elevator? Yikes?

204
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Interesting answer here. Biggest financial hurdle you've ever encountered since

205
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>being a comedian travel in taxes. I'd just shown Ohio,

206
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 1>and even booking three months in advance, it was going

207
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to cost nine hundred dollars to fly from New York

208
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 1>to Cincinnati. No offense to the good people of Cincinnati,

209
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 1>but who's going there for nine hundred dollars? The Cincinnati

210
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.959
<v Speaker 1>airport isn't even in Cincinnati, It's in Kentucky. The airlines

211
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 1>need to get a grip. Taxes were also higher than

212
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 1>I expected. I didn't realize the government needed so much

213
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>money from an up and coming artist, but I guess

214
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>we have to fund this failing nation somehow. Best comedy advice,

215
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.399
<v Speaker 1>worst comedy of ice, best not to do crowd work

216
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.159
<v Speaker 1>for the first few years of comic I think we're

217
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:35.919
<v Speaker 1>on the come down from the crowd work trend thanks

218
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to a very successful comedian who special maybe didn't quite

219
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>live up to the hype. Hmmm, is that a slam

220
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 1>at Matt Rife? But Matt Rife's special is pretty good.

221
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who's slamming there. That's interesting. Hit me

222
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>in the Facebook group if I forgetting somebody, But that's

223
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 1>got to be a rife dig right, Yes, No, Facebook

224
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>group is daily comedy news podcast group. I think a

225
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of young comics. He isn't a quick way to

226
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>go viral online. But starting out, it's so much more

227
00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>important to find your material in your voice than it

228
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>is to learn how to do crowd work. Worst advice

229
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I've received was to talk less about being trans. I

230
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 1>could make myself more palatable for larger audiences. From what

231
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>I can tell. The man who told me this has

232
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 1>never played a large audience. I'm not sure where he

233
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>was coming from. I hope his open mics are going. Well,

234
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that's your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,

235
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>tell a friend about it. They might like it too,

236
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'll see tomorrow.
