00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack, who with

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>another busy daily comedy news. There's a lot going on.

3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to cover today, but I want to

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 1>call your attention to a pretty feisty Bill Burr interview.

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>You'll find that on Vulture dot com and as a

6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 1>podcast in the Good One. I'll start picking away that tomorrow.

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>But just other things I want to get to. The

8
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 1>cool kids came for Jay Leno last week. They did

9
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>not like the Jay Leno interview about Late Night and

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.799
<v Speaker 1>called out Jay for some hypocrisy. It's really interesting to

11
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>see what Jay's legacy has become as the team Conan

12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>people just continue to pile on, and now the cool

13
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>kids are coming ford Joe Rogan. There were two things.

14
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>One from The Daily Beast. The headline. A number of

15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Joe Rogan's comedy and podcasting buddies are having second thoughts

16
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>about following him to Texas. Some of the comedians they

17
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 1>single out, Shane Gillis, moved to Austin years after he

18
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>was fired as a cast member of Saturday Night Live.

19
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 1>They point out in June on Andrew Schultz's podcast, where

20
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Andrew was probably shocked to learn that Donald Trump didn't

21
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>do everything he said he was going to do. Shane said,

22
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Texas effing blows. Gillis criticized Texas, describing how his home

23
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>had a blackout for three days. Gillis said, the second

24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>we ran out of power, the house was ninety degrees

25
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and just bugs. Bugs came in immediately. The house filled

26
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>with bugs, and I'm just laying in the dark. In

27
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four, Shane Gillis told vi Ivaughn, I just

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to move to a place where you can do

29
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 1>stand up during the week forever. It was just in

30
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>New York, in LA. Now you can do it in Nashville.

31
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>In Austin, Brendan Schaub said, I miss my community and

32
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 1>my routine after moving from LA to Austin. Tim Dillon,

33
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>who you can never take that seriously in any sentence

34
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that Tim Dillon ever speaks. Tim described Austin as a

35
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>great place to raise a family as long as they

36
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>like you, are dull and never want to succeed. In September,

37
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Tim was on Whitney Cummings podcast and called Austin and

38
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the soulas city that should be burned to the ground.

39
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>He described the music scene as three heroin addicts busking

40
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>with guitars. Whitney made fun of the Joe Rogan experience

41
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 1>and said he'd rather have someone that makes knives than you. Right,

42
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>they're just hoping that people he's flying miss their flight

43
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and they need someone at the last minute. Dylan has

44
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>moved back to LA, we're told, but says of Texas.

45
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah the taxes are better, and yeah, there are benefits

46
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 1>to not being in LA, and yes LA has a

47
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 1>host of problems. But I moved here because first and

48
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 1>foremost I said something new will be good. I was wrong.

49
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>The cool kids continue to go after Joe Rogan. Last week,

50
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday's The Daily Show, they did seven minutes on

51
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Joe Rogan. They did a mock biopic. The narrator of

52
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 1>the biopic says, a new thinker has emerged to grapple

53
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>with the mysteries of our universe. He is the world's

54
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>greatest thinker. They then showed clips of Rogan saying things

55
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>like why do black people like menthol so much? And

56
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're drinking water, you're drinking dinosaur pe. The narrator

57
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 1>continues and talk he did because the most fundamental truth

58
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 1>about the modern world was finally within his grasp. That

59
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a man may speak forever without knowing things as long

60
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>as he has a podcast, Rogan began his true life's

61
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>project of absorbing the collected wisdom of the world's greatest

62
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>wise men and every now and then a woman. They

63
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>then show guests Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Alex Jones.

64
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Then they highlighted the title of a YouTube video alleging

65
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to show all the times Rogan has used the N word.

66
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>You know what, while I've gone here, let me open

67
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>up one of the Leno pieces. I wasn't gonna do

68
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>it at all, but since we're here from the Nation,

69
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the headline jay Leno's phony case for balanced comedy, They ask,

70
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>why is it that every time a great late night

71
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>host loses a job, jay Leno appears. That's just stupid.

72
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what d Steth Meyers weigh in on

73
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Colbert the Nation rights, really Jay Leno fair and balance comedian.

74
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>A two thousand and nine George Mason University study found

75
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>that of the thirty three thousand jokes Leno told about

76
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>politicians during his first run as the Tonight Show host,

77
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>he told forty four hundred and sixty eight Bill Clinton jokes,

78
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and nine and ninety nine about George Bush. They do

79
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>add that, of course, there's no reason Leno shouldn't have

80
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 1>gone after Clinton more than Bush if he wanted to.

81
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 1>There's just no reason why Kimmel, Colbert Fallon shouldn't go

82
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>after Trump more than anyone else. You know, part of this, guys,

83
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>is just from a comedy standpoint. Clinton is funnier than

84
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 1>George Bush. George Bush is funny, but George Bush is

85
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot funnier than Obama or Biden. Again, nobody has

86
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>yet really to nail an Obama impression that's truly funny.

87
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>None of the Biden impressions were funny. There are funny

88
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump impressions. There are funny Clinton's, there are funny Reagan's.

89
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>There was a funny George H. Bush, There were funny Nixons.

90
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Chevy Chase figured out a way to do Ford. So yeah,

91
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>for us to go back, you know what is its

92
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years later? No, it's thirty years later now,

93
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and be like, oh, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, it's not funny.

94
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Leno's right leaning show regularly topped Lettermans in the ratings. Oh,

95
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I missed that Jay Leno's right leaning show. I missed

96
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that one. Okay, they did discuss the Winsky of it all.

97
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 1>The Nation rights take, for instance, Leno's relentless slut shaming

98
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>with the expensive Monica Lewinsky. In his own gauzy remembrance,

99
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Leno was a voice for fair play and civility. Back

100
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>when Leno first began touting comedic civility in the Trump era,

101
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>John Oliver threw a montage of his own Winsky jokes

102
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 1>back at him because Leno wasn't any more civil than

103
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>he was bipartisan. Leno certainly wasn't alone and going after Lewinsky,

104
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Bill mar David Letterman, more N Daoud, among many others,

105
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>beat up on her. The difference is that Leno has

106
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>a particular talent for dressing up his cruel streak and

107
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 1>a folksy style of do you hear this water cooler banter?

108
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 1>That's fair? Then the nation is mad that Leno made

109
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 1>jokes about someone named Stella Libeck. They write that name

110
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>is largely forgotten now, but she was the seventy nine

111
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>year old woman at the center of the McDonald's Hot

112
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Coffee lawsuit. They end their piece with if Leno's first

113
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>comedic reflex is to side with a multi billion dollar

114
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>fast food chain over a scalded grandma. It's no surprise

115
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>that decides with our babbling dictator president when he feels

116
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Late Night comics are too mean to him. I mean, yes,

117
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we all feel bad that a woman got burned with coffee,

118
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>But of course the joke is, did you not know

119
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the coffee's high? I mean, I just don't get it, guys.

120
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 1>At some point comedy is going to make fun of

121
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 1>something and someone, Oh my goodness, I'm like, ten minutes in,

122
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even mean to do that story. We're going

123
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 1>to be long today, friends, Let's get to it. John Okay,

124
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>second with Late Night for a second, Late Nighter points out.

125
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Colbert had good ratings. He had an average weekly

126
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 1>share of twelve point sixty three percent among total viewers.

127
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>In his first full week of shows since CBS announced

128
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 1>the cancelation, he allogged his best ratings in over two years,

129
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>with an average of three point zero five million, more

130
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>than the other two shows combined. Again, to be fair,

131
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Kimmel's in guest host mode in the eighteen to

132
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 1>forty nine demo, Colbert's weekly average jumped sixty four percent. Again,

133
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure a lot of that was the curiosity. On

134
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 1>the Monday, the Letterman Podcast, Great podcast, check out the

135
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>newest episode. They have Letterman's former producer Morty and famous

136
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 1>radio DJ and former on this program and personal friend

137
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of mine Alex Bennett are the guests. Mike and I

138
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>are planning on doing something to talk late night and

139
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>late show. South Park had good ratings as well. In

140
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the three days after the premiere of the episode in

141
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 1>which we see Donald Trump in bed with Satan, they

142
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 1>got five point nine million cross platform viewers including on

143
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 1>air replays. That's a sixty eight percent improvement on the

144
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 1>season twenty sixth premiere. There was no episode last week.

145
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>This week, the trailer suggests that we'll see Donald Trump

146
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>grabbing Satan's leg under the table. I'm sure that will

147
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 1>go over well in some parts of the capitol. Sam

148
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Bee was on Tom popp As podcast and weighed in

149
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>on Colbert Gate. Was it money? Was it politics? Sam said,

150
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I think both things are true and real. These legacy shows,

151
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>they're hamorrhaging money with no real end in sight. People

152
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>are just not tuning in even remotely comparatively to how

153
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>they used to. People are literally on their phones all

154
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the time for one thing, they don't need a recap

155
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>of the day's events. We're consuming news media all the time.

156
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I do it too, but we don't relax in the

157
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 1>same way by watching everybody get together, lay down in

158
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>your bed, type TV and watch them jokes in some interviews.

159
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>It's also true that when the President of the United

160
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>States has to give a sign off on a corporate merger,

161
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 1>the thing you can't do is make jokes about him.

162
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>He's a thin skinned idiot, and we know he's like

163
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a pernicious cancer, and he cares about that stuff. Papa

164
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.639
<v Speaker 1>asked if TBS asked Sam to tone down her show's

165
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 1>political stances. She said, one hundred percent. When a huge

166
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>corporate mergers happening, nobody wants to cause trouble. Business trumps everything.

167
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Everything you think is important is absolutely impotent. It's not

168
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 1>even a consideration. Sam's insight into ending the Late Show

169
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>is it's so much easier for them to cut the

170
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>Late Show loose with this merger coming down the pike.

171
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Probably the most agonizing decisions they were having were about

172
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 1>how do we float this, How do we not get

173
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of blowback? You know what I was going

174
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to tell you about the Toronto Comedy Festival. We'll do

175
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that tomorrow because it's not until September eighteenth. I'm seeing

176
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 1>nothing but great reviews for the New and Naked Gun movie,

177
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>which first of all, is amazing, and congratulations to them.

178
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Liam Neeson was asked other movies he enjoys. He said,

179
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Missus Outfire springs to mind and the outtakes were extraordinary too,

180
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and they aren't part of the movie too. Actually in

181
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the credits that I once shared a taxi with Robin

182
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Williams and a few other actors and he started rapping

183
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>on some politician. I remember thinking, this is maybe what

184
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Shakespeare would have been like, just this incredible stuff pouring

185
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>out of his brain in his mouth. He was a

186
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 1>genius comedian Country Wayne with a shocker. On social media,

187
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>he said, I got to come to Facebook because you

188
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>all have been here since day one, all the reason

189
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm really able to sell tickets, and you all have

190
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>been the reason I've been sustaining off stand up for

191
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years. So I had to come live

192
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>and tell y'all, Hey, everybody, I love y'all. But when

193
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>it comes to stand up comedy, my last show will

194
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 1>be October fourth at the cob Energy Center in Atlanta.

195
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>From my Amazon special Wow sad to hear that. I

196
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>also hope this isn't a Craig Robinson situation where he's

197
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 1>just trying to get attention, because that would be really,

198
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 1>really lame. Wayne said. Now a lot of people are like, Wayne,

199
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>You're leaving millions of dollars on the table. But the

200
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>reason being, I tell everybody, when God tells you to move,

201
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 1>you got to move some time. Sometimes you got to

202
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>lose to win. Everything I got going right now, I

203
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>put on the back burner for stand up for years.

204
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 1>If you all can remember back in the day when

205
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 1>I went and did stand up, I had to stop

206
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>doing social media content. Everybody was mad I had to

207
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>leave social media. But I had to leave social media

208
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.879
<v Speaker 1>to become the person I am in stand up today.

209
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm leaving stand up because a lot of stuff

210
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>in Hollywood that I got going on, and God got

211
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot in me and creating these ideas to put together,

212
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 1>which is the ideas you love. Billboard put out their

213
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>report of the biggest tours Beyonce led the way. In June,

214
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Joe Coy sold forty two thousand tickets across ten shows.

215
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>He grows two point six million dollars. Nicky Glazer grows

216
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>three million, forty three seven hundred tickets across twenty shows.

217
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Gaba Glaciers three point two million, fifty two thousand, six

218
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred tickets nine shows. Nate Bergatzi three point six million,

219
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>forty four nine hundred tickets six shows. Dude, keep doing comedy,

220
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Stop with the theme park nonsense. Matt Riiche grows four

221
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.039
<v Speaker 1>point two million dollars to lead the pack fifty two

222
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 1>thousand tickets across five shows. Some other shows making some money.

223
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Tina Fey and Amy Poehler grows two point two million,

224
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>John Stewart, John Millenium, Pete Davidson together one point four million,

225
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 1>and in Dublin the two Johnnies, Johnny Smacks McMahon and

226
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Johnny b O'Brien one point three million dollars. Bounce on

227
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff today, which is always a good

228
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 1>problem to have. In the summer. Voicemag dot UK has

229
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>been catching up with comedians who were performing at the

230
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Fringe now underway. One of them is Aiden McQueen, who

231
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>self describes as a stand up comedian from Ireland and

232
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 1>a woman who's been through just enough therapy to monetize

233
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 1>her emotional chaos. Waiting for Texto is my one woman

234
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>comedy play about heartbreak, grief and healing in the age

235
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 1>of WhatsApp, yoga and passive aggressive self help memes. Have

236
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>you done Fringe before? Yes, I've done the stand up trenches,

237
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Flying in the Rain, performing the Three Men called Dave,

238
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and coming home with trench Foot in a new juke

239
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>this year with a full length solo show, more Prepared.

240
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm pacing myself. We keep hearing about the pacing. Isn't

241
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that interesting. I'm pacing myself and bringing a collapsible stool

242
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 1>for when I want to cry in the street with dignity. Boy,

243
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 1>do I ever read an article that's like, Hey, the

244
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Fringe was awesome. Man, I had a great time and

245
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I stayed at a great hotel. The Fringe just seems

246
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 1>like a disaster. Everyone just seems like they're just struggling

247
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>to survive to perform at it, she says. I try

248
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to treat it like a marathon, not a breakdown in

249
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>slow motion. I do yoga badly, avoid the seven pounds

250
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>smoothies currency not weight, and escape to the botanic gardens

251
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>when I need to see something green that is an

252
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 1>envy or mold. Also naps, naps are resistance. Any advice

253
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>for first time or is it the fringe? Make the

254
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>show you want to see on your worst day. Forget hype,

255
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.399
<v Speaker 1>connect with the people in the room, and bring waterproof shoes. Always.

256
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:37.440
<v Speaker 1>If you could change one thing about the fringe, what

257
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 1>would it be? And we keep hearing this theme subsidized

258
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>a combination for artists. It's the biggest barrier access and

259
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 1>it's exhausting to make meaningful, radical art while sharing a

260
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>damp cupboard with a mime troop and a bologne smell

261
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that won't die. Waiting for texto at the Powder House

262
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>at two twenty pm out in San Francisco, it sounds

263
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 1>like Luigi the Musical is doing well. Luigi the Musical,

264
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 1>of course, the dark comedic musical reading for the press

265
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.679
<v Speaker 1>release quote inspired by the true fact that Luigi Mangioni,

266
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Diddy and Sam Bankman Fried, three high profile public figures,

267
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>were held simultaneously at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. The show

268
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.559
<v Speaker 1>was set in a prison cell shared by the descriped cryptomobul,

269
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.919
<v Speaker 1>infamous media executive and the viral Italian sensation, an accused

270
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>assassin guarded by one confused sergeant. They've been adding shows.

271
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.879
<v Speaker 1>The August sixth show is sold out. They've hadded another

272
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>show on Monday, August eleventh. I bet you they wind

273
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>up adding more. That is your comedy news for today

274
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>on a very busy summer Monday. I love it. See

275
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 1>you tomorrow
