1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: Calorogus Shark Media. I am such that weather's finally come 2 00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:15,519 to the Northeast. The Knicks are winning. Life's good. I'm 3 00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,559 Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. The Hollywood round Table. No, 4 00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:21,399 that's not what it's called at all. I'm leaving it in. 5 00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:23,679 I'm in a good mood. The Hollywood Reporter did a 6 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,280 round table. There's no such thing as the Hollywood Roundtable 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,000 as far as I know, But the Hollywood Reporter did 8 00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:32,280 a round table. They say, gather five of the most 9 00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:35,479 relevant comedians working today and ask them what scares the most, 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,399 and the answers very complacency comes up, SODA's cancelation. Mark 11 00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:42,359 Maron says, and sometimes people don't hear comedy for comedy. 12 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:44,159 They're like, well, I don't really believe that, And I'm like, 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,399 good because it's a joke. Stupid. Who was on the 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,240 round table, which took place in May at the fancy 15 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,439 Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica. Excuse me, Mark Maren, Nikki Glazer, 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,799 want of Psykes, Lean Morgan and Julio touris. There's a 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,359 crew and we are till to get your eye roll ready. 18 00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:03,920 Johnny Mack, are your eyes ready to roll. John. Yes, 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,280 they are all of whom I've released specials in the 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,480 past year for a wide ranging oft in raunchy conversation 21 00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,480 about comedy, pothics, bombing, and yes, Glazer's desire to be, 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,640 as she puts it, effable. Oh nicky. As I went 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,959 through this and I'll pick out it today and tomorrow, 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,239 I found Mark Maron and even Nicki Glazer interesting. I 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,120 am finding Nicki increasingly annoying. I think that's clearly leaking 26 00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:32,959 out into the show. I found Wanda Leanne and Julio uninteresting. 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,400 So I'm mostly going to quote from a Glazer and 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,400 Maren chr asked, what was the last experience where we 29 00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:41,120 thought in the moment, well, at least this will make 30 00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:44,079 good comedy. Maren said, well, I've been talking to myself 31 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:45,680 more than usual in the moment. I don't think it's 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,159 very funny, but I'm starting to think this is an 33 00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,159 avenue that I can explore. I don't know if that 34 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:50,959 sounds sad or not, but I have three cats and 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,560 I'm not talking to them. They won They're like, what's 36 00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:55,680 going on. I'm like, no, I'm gonna keep this to myself. 37 00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:00,159 Bestween me and me chr Nicky. You recently said that 38 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,000 stand up is like sex, Nicki Glazer, But I'm on stage. 39 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,239 I believe in ways and say things that I would 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,240 never say off stage, similar to sex. I feel unbridled. 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,599 I feel like I make different noises and faces and 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,639 do things with my body that I would never do 43 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,759 in front of my friends and family or the general public. 44 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,159 Having to then hear feedback about anything I did on 45 00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:20,599 stage always feels to me like someone after sex being like, 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,520 remember when you said that one thing? No, no, no no. 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,759 I don't want to hear what I said. There's a 48 00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:26,960 detachment for me, and I'm kind of embarrassed by that person. 49 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,360 So I'm glad that everybody watches it, but I don't 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,439 want to watch it. I don't want to hear what 51 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:34,479 you think. They talked about working clean versus dirty, Nicki 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,000 Glazer said, once you get agents and people who are 53 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,919 weighing in and you want to be marketable, I get 54 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,680 a lot of don't be dirty, and not only because 55 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,479 you can't be on network TV talking like that, but 56 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,759 it's also what all female comics do, and so you're 57 00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:47,960 doing the easy thing. I go, well, is it easy 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,400 for other women to talk about their private parts. Look 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,719 like on stage, it's easy for me, But why wouldn't 60 00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:55,520 you want me to do something that comes easy to me? 61 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,680 The hollered reporter was curious, who's saying work clean? Maren said, 62 00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:04,120 book club owners Agents. Glazer added in and TV early 63 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:05,840 on because of my stand up. I wasn't chosen to 64 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:07,599 do a lot of things on network TV because they're 65 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,240 just worried you might go off and talk about an 66 00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:15,680 advanced sexual thing, very advanced, very very advanced. You even 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,199 go on radio and they're like, now, this is a 68 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,479 show where families are listening, and I'm like, I know 69 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,719 where I am. I preferred Maren's answer, which is part 70 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:23,400 of me is always a little dirty, just to keep 71 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:26,439 those people away. And by that I mean success. But 72 00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:28,520 I've done clean sets because we all had to do them. 73 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,280 If you're doing Letterman, you had to be clean. I 74 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,520 could do it. And I don't talk dirty stuff as 75 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,400 much as I used to because I'm old. It doesn't 76 00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:37,439 age well. And A Burner has got a special out 77 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:41,879 today on Hulu. It is called None of My Business 78 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400 and it's held variety. After my Netflix special, I was like, 79 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,080 I have to do that. Again. How many specialists they 80 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,800 have to put out It's crazy. I was really nervous 81 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,120 about how I was going to make these jokes as 82 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,960 good as the ones that are so tried and true 83 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,199 and tested. But I also realized that my Netflix special 84 00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:56,000 wasn't good because of the particular jokes. It was good 85 00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:57,879 because I was being myself. And now I'm better at 86 00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:00,000 writing jokes and better performing, and I've had more experience. 87 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,879 Being on stage is all about or on confidence, and 88 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:05,080 you can't help but get better the more you're on stage. 89 00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:07,479 Stand Up comedy was healing from me after dealing with 90 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,919 reality TV, which was a blessing. Stan up made me 91 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,520 just feel so myself because even if something didn't go well, 92 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,879 at least I was authentically being myself. It made me 93 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:17,399 want my voice to be heard. I felt like my 94 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,480 voice was shrunk, and I wanted female voices to be 95 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,439 heard in all their emotions. If I wasn't feeling that 96 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,600 excitement to do that, I wouldn't be crazy enough to 97 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,000 tour for five years. You have to have a chip 98 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,839 on your shoulder and be like, I'm getting a Netflix special, 99 00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:29,800 I'm getting a Hulu special. I have stuff to say. 100 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,560 I can't be quieted down for the new special, Hannah 101 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,480 Burner says, I want it to be the people's comfort show. 102 00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:35,720 I want them to be able to put it on 103 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,639 when they're feeling down, and to be able to watch 104 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,240 it with their friends and to share clips that they 105 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,079 can relate to want people to feel less alone in 106 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,759 any of the tough times in life. I hope this 107 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,399 comedy special adds little brightness. Hannah Burner, none of my 108 00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:51,959 business Hulu today seems like Bert Krascher has seen the light. 109 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,600 He was speaking to Fox And Now remember earlier in 110 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,040 the year there was the whole bus fire thing. Well. 111 00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:02,480 Bert shared with Fox News that in early January, Bert 112 00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:04,800 had gone to the er after a severe leg pain 113 00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:06,160 woke him up in the middle of the night. At 114 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,160 the hospital, doctors found a blood clot behind his knee 115 00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:12,279 and discovered additional clots in his lungs. He was placed 116 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,319 on blood thinners and had to stop drinking. Now back 117 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,759 to the bus fire, Bert says, two weeks after it 118 00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:20,519 burned down, I got to go on my new tour 119 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560 bus with my same tour bus driver who was in 120 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,279 the fire, and he says to me casually and did 121 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,680 add affect me? At all. He goes, man, you're lucky 122 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,920 you got that blood clot. Bert was like what, and 123 00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:31,319 he goes old school Birdie boy would have been drinking. 124 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:32,920 He didn't pass out in the back. We would have 125 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,959 just let you sleep. Bus would have caught on fire Man, 126 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,480 you would have been dead. That thing caught up in 127 00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:39,800 thirty seconds. Bert said, I've realized how valuable life is. 128 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:42,279 I realized how luckworks in certain ways. And you've got 129 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,680 to see everything is lucky because all those things are real. 130 00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:48,240 Seven days Vermont caught up with Lori kill Martin. They 131 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,920 were curious about her talking about her gen z Son 132 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,279 in her comedy and what Laurie kill Martin finds disturbing 133 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:57,759 ridiculous about the Zas. Laurie said, I don't know. I mean, 134 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,560 I guess the only thing I'm sort of bummed out 135 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,639 about is they don't hang out together in person. They 136 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,319 go online and he's hanging out with his friends, but 137 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,519 they're not in person. They're losing something. The ability to 138 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,519 make small talk and just being bored with each other's 139 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,839 that kind of bums me out. Wrestling in kids dot 140 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,399 Com You're Home for Comedy News spoke to Michael Jay 141 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,800 about Wrestling.

Like he's then on the short list of 149 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,439 the people. I don't know why he's not a four 150 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,040 time Emmy winner. He's so good on television. Every time 151 00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:40,879 he's on, it's like something cool or developing. I had 152 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,639 a meeting with Paul Hayman once, very very likable, very 153 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,079 likable guy. Wish I'd gotten to work with him.

Just do a comedy tour, 185 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,639 so a pretty simple one today. Buy Tracy Morgan, sell, 186 00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,799 Nate Brighetzi, Nuva dot Nat caught up with Guy Brainham. 187 00:08:38,759 --> 00:08:41,759 He likes trivia now. I didn't make trivia this week. 188 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,919 Were between volleyball seasons, but Wednesday night was the Knicks, 189 00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:48,000 so I couldn't go to Wednesday Night trivia. I had 190 00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:50,240 to watch the Knicks. The trivia guys won't put the 191 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,480 Nicks up on the TV. They want their trivia questions 192 00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:54,600 up on the TV, so I had to stay home. 193 00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:58,039 Got the same issue coming up for Game four on Wednesday. 194 00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:00,639 I have to hope my volleyball game is at six thirty, 195 00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:04,440 seven thirty. I haven't seen these schedule yet. Guy Brainham said, 196 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,919 I think comedy and trivia come from the same place 197 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,919 of wanting to be right and proving yourself that you 198 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,039 have a mine that's quick. In the same way that 199 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,840 I was growing up during the Golden age of comedy, 200 00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:14,879 I was growing up during the golden nature of jeopardy, 201 00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:17,039 and they're both ways of learning about the world. Jokes 202 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,639 tell you so much about the world as a kid 203 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,480 you don't understand, and so does trivia. When I was 204 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,679 in college, I was on the quiz Bowl team, but 205 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,480 at Berkeley I wasn't good enough to travel. I only 206 00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:26,919 got to play when we were at Berkeley. Then I 207 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,320 went to law school at the University of Minnesota, and 208 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,960 one of the good things about it was they had 209 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,039 a nice endowment, so we traveled a lot and I 210 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,279 got to see the college towns of the then Big Ten. 211 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,360 It was a lot of driving around the Midwest, learning 212 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,919 about the importance of steak and shake, and that one 213 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,080 McDonald's it's on a weird bridge over the Highway on 214 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,799 the way to Chicago, and which towns in Wisconsin were 215 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,840 the best to stop for pie. I'm in on all that, 216 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,840 and I had a pitch from the people at openmicx 217 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,879 dot com.
