Speaker 1: Calorogus Shark Media. I am such that weather's finally come
to the Northeast. The Knicks are winning. Life's good. I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. The Hollywood round Table. No,
that's not what it's called at all. I'm leaving it in.
I'm in a good mood. The Hollywood Reporter did a
round table. There's no such thing as the Hollywood Roundtable
as far as I know, But the Hollywood Reporter did
a round table. They say, gather five of the most
relevant comedians working today and ask them what scares the most,
and the answers very complacency comes up, SODA's cancelation. Mark
Maron says, and sometimes people don't hear comedy for comedy.
They're like, well, I don't really believe that, And I'm like,
good because it's a joke. Stupid. Who was on the
round table, which took place in May at the fancy
Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica. Excuse me, Mark Maren, Nikki Glazer,
want of Psykes, Lean Morgan and Julio touris. There's a
crew and we are till to get your eye roll ready.
Johnny Mack, are your eyes ready to roll. John. Yes,
they are all of whom I've released specials in the
past year for a wide ranging oft in raunchy conversation
about comedy, pothics, bombing, and yes, Glazer's desire to be,
as she puts it, effable. Oh nicky. As I went
through this and I'll pick out it today and tomorrow,
I found Mark Maron and even Nicki Glazer interesting. I
am finding Nicki increasingly annoying. I think that's clearly leaking
out into the show. I found Wanda Leanne and Julio uninteresting.
So I'm mostly going to quote from a Glazer and
Maren chr asked, what was the last experience where we
thought in the moment, well, at least this will make
good comedy. Maren said, well, I've been talking to myself
more than usual in the moment. I don't think it's
very funny, but I'm starting to think this is an
avenue that I can explore. I don't know if that
sounds sad or not, but I have three cats and
I'm not talking to them. They won They're like, what's
going on. I'm like, no, I'm gonna keep this to myself.
Bestween me and me chr Nicky. You recently said that
stand up is like sex, Nicki Glazer, But I'm on stage.
I believe in ways and say things that I would
never say off stage, similar to sex. I feel unbridled.
I feel like I make different noises and faces and
do things with my body that I would never do
in front of my friends and family or the general public.
Having to then hear feedback about anything I did on
stage always feels to me like someone after sex being like,
remember when you said that one thing? No, no, no no.
I don't want to hear what I said. There's a
detachment for me, and I'm kind of embarrassed by that person.
So I'm glad that everybody watches it, but I don't
want to watch it. I don't want to hear what
you think. They talked about working clean versus dirty, Nicki
Glazer said, once you get agents and people who are
weighing in and you want to be marketable, I get
a lot of don't be dirty, and not only because
you can't be on network TV talking like that, but
it's also what all female comics do, and so you're
doing the easy thing. I go, well, is it easy
for other women to talk about their private parts. Look
like on stage, it's easy for me, But why wouldn't
you want me to do something that comes easy to me?
The hollered reporter was curious, who's saying work clean? Maren said,
book club owners Agents. Glazer added in and TV early
on because of my stand up. I wasn't chosen to
do a lot of things on network TV because they're
just worried you might go off and talk about an
advanced sexual thing, very advanced, very very advanced. You even
go on radio and they're like, now, this is a
show where families are listening, and I'm like, I know
where I am. I preferred Maren's answer, which is part
of me is always a little dirty, just to keep
those people away. And by that I mean success. But
I've done clean sets because we all had to do them.
If you're doing Letterman, you had to be clean. I
could do it. And I don't talk dirty stuff as
much as I used to because I'm old. It doesn't
age well. And A Burner has got a special out
today on Hulu. It is called None of My Business
and it's held variety. After my Netflix special, I was like,
I have to do that. Again. How many specialists they
have to put out It's crazy. I was really nervous
about how I was going to make these jokes as
good as the ones that are so tried and true
and tested. But I also realized that my Netflix special
wasn't good because of the particular jokes. It was good
because I was being myself. And now I'm better at
writing jokes and better performing, and I've had more experience.
Being on stage is all about or on confidence, and
you can't help but get better the more you're on stage.
Stand Up comedy was healing from me after dealing with
reality TV, which was a blessing. Stan up made me
just feel so myself because even if something didn't go well,
at least I was authentically being myself. It made me
want my voice to be heard. I felt like my
voice was shrunk, and I wanted female voices to be
heard in all their emotions. If I wasn't feeling that
excitement to do that, I wouldn't be crazy enough to
tour for five years. You have to have a chip
on your shoulder and be like, I'm getting a Netflix special,
I'm getting a Hulu special. I have stuff to say.
I can't be quieted down for the new special, Hannah
Burner says, I want it to be the people's comfort show.
I want them to be able to put it on
when they're feeling down, and to be able to watch
it with their friends and to share clips that they
can relate to want people to feel less alone in
any of the tough times in life. I hope this
comedy special adds little brightness. Hannah Burner, none of my
business Hulu today seems like Bert Krascher has seen the light.
He was speaking to Fox And Now remember earlier in
the year there was the whole bus fire thing. Well.
Bert shared with Fox News that in early January, Bert
had gone to the er after a severe leg pain
woke him up in the middle of the night. At
the hospital, doctors found a blood clot behind his knee
and discovered additional clots in his lungs. He was placed
on blood thinners and had to stop drinking. Now back
to the bus fire, Bert says, two weeks after it
burned down, I got to go on my new tour
bus with my same tour bus driver who was in
the fire, and he says to me casually and did
add affect me? At all. He goes, man, you're lucky
you got that blood clot. Bert was like what, and
he goes old school Birdie boy would have been drinking.
He didn't pass out in the back. We would have
just let you sleep. Bus would have caught on fire Man,
you would have been dead. That thing caught up in
thirty seconds. Bert said, I've realized how valuable life is.
I realized how luckworks in certain ways. And you've got
to see everything is lucky because all those things are real.
Seven days Vermont caught up with Lori kill Martin. They
were curious about her talking about her gen z Son
in her comedy and what Laurie kill Martin finds disturbing
ridiculous about the Zas. Laurie said, I don't know. I mean,
I guess the only thing I'm sort of bummed out
about is they don't hang out together in person. They
go online and he's hanging out with his friends, but
they're not in person. They're losing something. The ability to
make small talk and just being bored with each other's
that kind of bums me out. Wrestling in kids dot
Com You're Home for Comedy News spoke to Michael Jay
about Wrestling. Jay was a guest on Stephanie McMahon's What's
Your Story podcast? Would Chay like to write for WWE?
Chase said, I would love to do that. That'd be
a bucket list that could be really fun. I'm a fan,
you know. He then name checked a bunch of wrestlers
I'm not familiar with. Chay's a big fan of Paul Hayman,
saying he's one of the best people I've ever seen
on television. Like he's then on the short list of
the people. I don't know why he's not a four
time Emmy winner. He's so good on television. Every time
he's on, it's like something cool or developing. I had
a meeting with Paul Hayman once, very very likable, very
likable guy. Wish I'd gotten to work with him. Star
trek Ruiner Pat Oswald is mad about food bowls. He
was on the Snacks podcast. The Star trek Ruiner is
upset with KFC's famous bowl, the menu item that combines
mashed potatoes, chicken, corn, cheese, and gravy into one container.
Paton said, it's clearly what stuff do we have left over?
Can we jump into bowl and cover it in grievy.
That sounds pretty good, actually, Doug the vulcan continue. The
reason I think bulls have caught on because now every
place offers bulls is because half our time now we're
staring at a screen, and a bull is a way
you don't have to need to look at what you're eating.
He's got a point there. We've got to stop the bulls.
No more bulls. Comedy stock Market, Thank you, Bert Reynolds.
Every week in the Comedy stock Marker, we look at
what comedians are overvalued and undervalued, and much like you
would in a real stock marker, we try and make
some money on the folks. You get how this all works.
We're gonna buy low and we're gonna sell high. It's
been a very quiet week, you can tell from the
stories that are making the podcast the last two days.
Not much going on after the whole Stephen Colbert farewell thing.
So I've got two for you. Let's buy some Tracy Morgan.
There's Tracy. He's at the Knicks games. The Knicks are winning.
Everybody's happy Tracy Morgan. Sure, why not? Let's buy some
Tracy Morgan. Plus the people seedn't like that NBC sitcom
and one sell for you. If we have any left,
let's just sell our Nate Berghetzy. I mean that movie
bombed so hard and I'm going to continue to first
guess this theme park thing. What are we even doing? Nate,
You're making more money than anybody according to bill Board
when you do the comedy tours. Just do a comedy tour,
so a pretty simple one today. Buy Tracy Morgan, sell,
Nate Brighetzi, Nuva dot Nat caught up with Guy Brainham.
He likes trivia now. I didn't make trivia this week.
Were between volleyball seasons, but Wednesday night was the Knicks,
so I couldn't go to Wednesday Night trivia. I had
to watch the Knicks. The trivia guys won't put the
Nicks up on the TV. They want their trivia questions
up on the TV, so I had to stay home.
Got the same issue coming up for Game four on Wednesday.
I have to hope my volleyball game is at six thirty,
seven thirty. I haven't seen these schedule yet. Guy Brainham said,
I think comedy and trivia come from the same place
of wanting to be right and proving yourself that you
have a mine that's quick. In the same way that
I was growing up during the Golden age of comedy,
I was growing up during the golden nature of jeopardy,
and they're both ways of learning about the world. Jokes
tell you so much about the world as a kid
you don't understand, and so does trivia. When I was
in college, I was on the quiz Bowl team, but
at Berkeley I wasn't good enough to travel. I only
got to play when we were at Berkeley. Then I
went to law school at the University of Minnesota, and
one of the good things about it was they had
a nice endowment, so we traveled a lot and I
got to see the college towns of the then Big Ten.
It was a lot of driving around the Midwest, learning
about the importance of steak and shake, and that one
McDonald's it's on a weird bridge over the Highway on
the way to Chicago, and which towns in Wisconsin were
the best to stop for pie. I'm in on all that,
and I had a pitch from the people at openmicx
dot com. They have some data which cities have the
most active open mic scenes, what stage time costs, now
free MIC's versus paid mics. Wh Thursday is a big
night for open mic nights and what comics on the
road can learn from city to city. Let's call it
the data on a slow news day and see what
they got all right? Thursday is the peak night for
open mikes. Looks like there's a barograph here. Thursday number one,
Wednesday two, Tuesday, three, Monday, four, Sunday, five, Friday, six Saturday.
According to twenty two hundred and sixty three published recurring
open mic listings, open mics by states on open mic
x Top ten states New York, California, at Texas, Illinois,
New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, Washington, North Carolina, Pennsylvania. Not surprised there,
and the top venues and ticket sources for open mics
Number one the NYC Comedy Club, followed by second city event,
Bright Laugh Factory, Show Clicks, Leap Flappers, Allegiant Theater, Improv Tixer, TIXR, Comedy, Mothership,
Zany Chicago. And there's a lot more here. And you
