00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Hi there, I'm Johnnie Mack and this is Daily Comedy News,

3
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.560
<v Speaker 2>a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians and the

4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 2>comedy industry. Which is a sentence you might say if

5
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 2>you were trying to retrain the Spotify algorithm to ranker

6
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>show higher. Jerry Seinfeld was on We Might be Drunk

7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 2>with Mark Norman and Sam Morrel pulled a couple clips.

8
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 2>I feel like all this is forced, Like Mark Norman

9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 2>is trying way too hard to impress Jerry who you

10
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>can impress? I've met the man, you just can't. And

11
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Sam has nothing to add. Also, looking at the show

12
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and in today's substack, I will have a clip of

13
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>what the show looks like. And it doesn't look good,

14
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>says the guy in his basement wearing a yellow hoodie

15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and his headphones on crooked. But it just doesn't look

16
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>good anyway. Mark shared some of his pet peeves with

17
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Seinfeld.

18
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, now they turn the tip tip thing around. You're

19
00:00:57.759 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 3>seeing this. I'm sure you got twenty minutes on the

20
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 3>tip flow. You know that a Starbucks. So they flip

21
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 3>the screen and it says eighteen five percent.

22
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I saw in recently.

23
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>That was.

24
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>It was I think twenty five, fifty seventy five.

25
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Come on, seventy five, seventy, Yeah, it was. It was

26
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>insane where in Dubai.

27
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Come on, Yeah, everything's tipped now, everything's listener.

28
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 1>Or anything anything where they get in you cannot get

29
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>them out. Yeah, right, they they got away with it

30
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and that's it, and they're taking the money. I was

31
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 1>just reading on the way down. You watch Red Zone

32
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, right sometimes, so they put commercials on it. Yeah,

33
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 1>it's like two hundred and eighty dollars for this channel

34
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to watch football with no commercials. And they say, well,

35
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 1>you won't notice it. But now they're all but that's it.

36
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 1>They're not going back. Nobody goes back.

37
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 2>They also discussed whether or not comedians should be married.

38
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 3>It is one of the great marriage savers because you're like, oh,

39
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I gotta go, I gotta do a set, and you're like, oh,

40
00:01:59.519 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm out of that.

41
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Can you believe what this guy's got going on? He

42
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>his wife comes home.

43
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 3>From work, she works at home. She works at home.

44
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she works at home. Yeah, he comes home from

45
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>doing this or whatever he's doing, and then he goes

46
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>out to the clubs during the week and he goes

47
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 1>out on the weekends. They have a baby. We had

48
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a canceled flight Gary Veter and I this weekend and

49
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Mark texts him, oh, man, so extra time away from

50
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the kids.

51
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, no, no, that we're not happy about it.

52
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Said so much about you.

53
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think it's a marriage saver, that road time.

54
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>It is because you're not really designed to be married. No,

55
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>comedian is not. Jim Gaffigan used to say, whenever you

56
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>would hear about a comedian getting married, he would go why.

57
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of whether or not comedians should be married, Amy

58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Schumer announced that she and husband Chris have ended their marriage.

59
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 2>As I've said on this show before, I think that's

60
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>truly sad. I don't want to see any marriage end.

61
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't come here to dunk on Amy, but Amy

62
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>continues to make decisions that just bewilder me. Amy wrote

63
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>this on Instagram. I'm going to read it verbatim, and

64
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the first three words she wrote are blah blah blah.

65
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>It's not me being flippant. That's what she actually wrote

66
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>to announce her divorce. Amy Schumer on Instagram posted a

67
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>picture of herself Chris and their son on the New

68
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>York City Subway. The caption quote, blah blah blah. Chris

69
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>and I have made the difficult decision to end our

70
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>marriage after seven years. We love each other very much

71
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>and will continue to focus on raising our son. We

72
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time. Once again,

73
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Amy writes, blah blah blah. Not because misspelled, I dropped

74
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>some pounds and thought I could bag s basket, and

75
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 2>not because he's a hot James Beard Award winning chef

76
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all

77
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 2>love and respect family forever. I imagine Amy has a publicister,

78
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>access to a publicist, and could have just released a

79
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 2>statement and said, you know, respect her privacy, and I

80
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>think we all would. It's just weird. A source close

81
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 2>to the pair tells people there's nothing ugly. It's a split.

82
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>They've just been finalizing a few things. The New York

83
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Post reported that Amy sold her Brooklyn Heights town host

84
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>for less than she paid. City records show that Amy

85
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>sold the four story residents at nineteen Cranberry Street for

86
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>eleven million dollars, roughly one point twenty five million below

87
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 2>the price she and her husband paid in twenty twenty two.

88
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>The five bedroom property, built in eighteen twenty nine and

89
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>appears in the film Moonstruck, spans roughly fifty five hundred

90
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>square feet and includes a private garden and gated parking,

91
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>a restored roof, original fireplace mantles, and a custom kitchen

92
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>outfitted with antique cabinry and a wine cellar. According to

93
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 2>a prior listing, did you watch Robbie Hoffman special? It's

94
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>pretty fantastic. I still can't decide if it's the number two, three,

95
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>or four special of the year. At worst it's number four.

96
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 2>You should watch it. John mullaney, producer of the special,

97
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 2>interviewed Robbie Hoffman for GQ. This interview, as you can imagine,

98
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 2>with m'lanie and Robbie's all over the place, I'll pick

99
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>away at it over the next couple days. Mlanie's opener,

100
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 2>if you open a water bottle and you don't hear

101
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>a crack, do you still drink it? Robbie Hoffman said,

102
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>mm MMMM'LINI said I found that if I note that

103
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't crack, but I still drink it. M'linie was curious,

104
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>did you ever have a time where you pulled back

105
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 2>her if you've been full blast your whole life, Robbie said, well,

106
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing around you. I'm still full blast because

107
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm nervous. For instance, somebody I really respect, I would

108
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>treat back to talking a lot, to sharing a lot,

109
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I go full blast. I think I had a big

110
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>period in life of calming down, but then I burst again.

111
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>What happened was it was very embarrassing to be this

112
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>boisterous and loud, especially as a girl, and opinionated and

113
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know, if we had a pop quiz,

114
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, this is an injustice, and then I'd

115
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 2>get embarrassed and I would say to myself, for you,

116
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>shut the f up. But I really tried not to

117
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>do anything for a long time, and then I kind

118
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 2>of came back to it. Now it pops up when

119
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm really excited. It's not just you, just anyone, but you,

120
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>especially because I love being in your presence. I noticed

121
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 2>that a lot more, not that I'm dancing for my

122
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>keeper or anything like that. It just comes out naturally.

123
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Carr was on the Louis Thorough podcast, and I

124
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I said the man's name right. I

125
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>don't mean disrespect. There's like five thousand articles about how

126
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 2>to pronounce his name correctly, and I have to keep

127
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>moving here. Jimmy Carr was defending his decision to perform

128
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 2>at the Riod Comedy Festival. Jimmy Carr said, I played it.

129
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. I think we need to give up

130
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.199
<v Speaker 2>on the idea that the Middle East becomes Western Europe.

131
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>The Middle East is a very different place, and the

132
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>same people that will tell you diversity is our strength

133
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>will tell you don't go there. They're not like us.

134
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>The thing I like about Saudi Arabia is the direction

135
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>of travel. Look at where it was forty years ago,

136
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>look at where it is now. The direction of travel's

137
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. How much were you paid, Jimmy Carry said,

138
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 2>I was paid. I would say a commensurate amount with

139
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>selling out an eight thousand seater room. So it's a

140
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>big room, and I got paid. I earned it. Cars

141
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 2>spoke about freedom of speech interestingly enough and said you

142
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.959
<v Speaker 2>have to deal with the consequences. If you're going to

143
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>say that, you got to be willing to say it

144
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.600
<v Speaker 2>and go, Yeah, I don't regret telling that joke. That's fine.

145
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Some people were really upset by it. That's okay. I've

146
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 2>got the people that come and see me and they

147
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>really like that stuff, and I've got to serve them,

148
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 2>not someone else. Felix Jakins is Amnesty International's UK head

149
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 2>of Campaigns. Felix said this is entertainment washing in action,

150
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>using big name comedians and glossy festivals to project reform

151
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>while repression continues off stage. No amount of laughter, it

152
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 2>can disguise the reality of Saudi Arabia's human rights record.

153
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Last year alone, a record three hundred and forty five

154
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>people were executed, many after deeply flawed trials. Comedians performing

155
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 2>there should ask whether challenging repressions or helping to legitimize it.

156
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Performing free speech in a country speaking freely can cost

157
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 2>you your life isn't brave, It's hypocrisy. Jimmy Carr said,

158
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I got paid. I earned it. Oh, I think I

159
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>said that already. Sorry, I repeated a quote. I'll remember

160
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>to edit that out later. Anthony has a book club,

161
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>he told Vulture. Yes, I'm going to start a book

162
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>club next year. Jessel nick book club and the goals

163
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to try to get guys to read literature. I feel

164
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>like people say I do like to read, but I

165
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 2>read serious books and that drives me crazy. I think

166
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>that literature is serious, if not more serious than nonfiction.

167
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 2>You learn just as much. I think the world is

168
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>lacking in empathy, and the guys can benefit from literature.

169
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>I've got a list of twelve books of the month,

170
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 2>but that might change something new comes out. I'd like

171
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>to get into that book influencer space, where on the

172
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 2>first of the month it's here's what we're reading, and

173
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 2>then you can ask questions at the end of the

174
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>month and I'll answer your questions, talk about why I

175
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>love this book, and just try to give a reading

176
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 2>list for guys. And it's okay to put a book

177
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>down and say I don't like this, pick up something else.

178
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Just keep trying. My first book in January is going

179
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 2>to be The Getaway by Jim Thompson. It's an action

180
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 2>book that's been made into a movie several times. The

181
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>end of it is almost supernatural. It almost turns into

182
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a horror novel. And if you're a fan of mine,

183
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I think you can get into this book. It's two

184
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 2>hundred fifty pages. It's easy to read. My second book

185
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>is a Vonnagut that I think says more about podcasting

186
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 2>today than it does about World War two. TV is

187
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 2>getting worse, movies are getting worse, and I think books

188
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>become a more viable entertainment option for people as things

189
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>have become more corporate and bland. I don't know if

190
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the book club will be successful. It might get five

191
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred views and no one cares and they make fun

192
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.240
<v Speaker 2>of me. But that's okay. I'm picking timeless novels that

193
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 2>I think a guy can get through without being embarrassed.

194
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 2>A book that you can read on the subway. No

195
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>one's making fun of you for it. They talked about

196
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 2>John Mulaney's book Club jes Unix sent my publisher. I

197
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>saw the Milleni post and was like, uh oh, it's fine.

198
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>His first one was the first book I picked up

199
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 2>in January. Playworld that I've forgotten every single thing. It's

200
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.679
<v Speaker 2>been on some lists and I couldn't tell you a

201
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 2>single thing about the book. It's okay to forget everything

202
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 2>you've just read. It's hard to remember things. I could

203
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>barely give descriptions of a lot of the books in

204
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 2>my top ten. I don't know how seriously Milanie is

205
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 2>taking in. It seems like it was just a post

206
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>put up on Instagram and a social media person was like,

207
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you should try this. Great. I hope there's a million

208
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.240
<v Speaker 2>comedian book clubs, but I'd like to go a bit

209
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.080
<v Speaker 2>deeper than just holding a book and saying this month,

210
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 2>we're reading this and then never mentioning it again. Sarah Sherman,

211
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>doing a lot of press, spoke to Variety and said

212
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 2>that she bombed when opening for Adam Sandler as You're

213
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.519
<v Speaker 2>My Best Friend tour, but says the thing about saidlor

214
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Is is comedy is really surreal and bizarre and dirty, so

215
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.159
<v Speaker 2>it's actually a good fit with her own style. But

216
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.120
<v Speaker 2>apparently she said she's stunk. Here's why, because she relies

217
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 2>on being in smaller venues for interactive comedy. She explained,

218
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>so much of my material is very audience interactive, so

219
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 2>it's weird to be so far away from people, and

220
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.639
<v Speaker 2>my voice is very shrill, and when it's ricocheting off

221
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>the walls of aa Gine Arena, it can be painful

222
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>for some people. If you're listening on Spotify, follow daily

223
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>comedy news, so it shows up on your feet every morning.

224
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 2>That's the kind of sentence. Somebody trying to go the

225
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Spotify algorithm would say on several podcasts in a row,

226
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>pay attention to that kind of thing out on the

227
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred pound Gerrilla today Christopher MacArthur Boyd's Scary Times.

228
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>No shocker here. Howard Stern is not suddenly ending his

229
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 2>career tomorrow. Nope, what do you know? Howard Stern has renewed.

230
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 2>After all that press about Howard's being canceled, Howard did

231
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 2>into many bit bah bah blah blah. I told you

232
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 2>all along, the whole thing was nonsense, and right before

233
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the winter break, Howard would announce renewal. Howard announced a

234
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 2>three year deal. He gets a more flexible schedule. He's

235
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.919
<v Speaker 2>already only doing three days a week and has July

236
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>and August off. Boy, nice money if you can get it.

237
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Howard is what I call a once in two generations

238
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Hall of famer, the best who ever did it, but

239
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>also little past his prime. People are upset with Saturday

240
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Night Live? Are they using AI images during weekend update jokes?

241
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 2>The image in question was a woman on Oxygen playing

242
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the nickel slots. The image did look very AI ish.

243
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>SNL has not commented on this in the past, they've

244
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 2>used photoshops. Leslie Jones has slammed President Trump. Jones was

245
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 2>on ms Now with Nicole Wallace ms now, the former

246
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 2>MSNBC with the new name. Wallace said, the President is

247
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 2>calling female reporters piggy and stupid and dumb and insubordinate.

248
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Leslie Jones said, wait a minute, let me explain something

249
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 2>to you. I don't understand how these people let that in. Then,

250
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>according to The Daily Beast, Leslie Jones hurled expletives a

251
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 2>president and how she would respond in the scenario of

252
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Trump calling Leslie Jones piggy, if he would have said

253
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>shut up, piggy to me, I would have been like

254
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 2>you fat mfer. Jones added, we should be embarrassed. As citizens,

255
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>we should be embarrassed. Wanda Sykes was honored at Variety's

256
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Power of Women La event. Now. I'm not sure the

257
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>HR Department would be too happy with Wanda Sykes. Pay

258
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 2>attention to this quote here from Wanda Sykes. Wanda said,

259
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.840
<v Speaker 2>my joy is when I'm able to hire somebody, and

260
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:55.840
<v Speaker 2>you know who I like to hire women. I'll be

261
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 2>upfront with you when it comes to a position and

262
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 2>I look on the paper Variety said Psykes was holding

263
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 2>out her arms with the hand representing the man slightly

264
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.679
<v Speaker 2>elevated above the woman one. So back to the quote.

265
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.960
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to a position, I look on the paper.

266
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>She might be right here and he's up there. I'm

267
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 2>hiring the woman. That's just how I operate. And I'll

268
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.679
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you. If she's a black woman, girl,

269
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 2>you got the job. Psykes drew applause from the crowd.

270
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Ssykes added, when women thrive, the community thrives. We make

271
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 2>everyone around us better. When we win, everybody wins. When

272
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>men win, sometimes they get a younger wife. Again, I

273
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 2>get what she's trying to say, but I'm not sure

274
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>that would get past the HR departments that I've worked with.

275
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>And that is your comedy news for today. I'll see tomorrow.
