00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Jenny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. I was very excited that Jimmy Carr decided

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>to put out a podcast. All of a sudden, there

4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>it is The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr. On that show,

5
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy invites a celebrity guest to pitch an idea for

6
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>a film based on one of the super niche subgenres

7
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix, from steamy crime movies from the seventies to

8
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Australian dysfunctional family comedy starring a strong female lead. Guests

9
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>pitch the plot, their dreamcast, the marketing stunts, and everything

10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>in between, and it's up to Jimmy Carr whether it

11
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 1>gets made. This is in partnership with actual Netflix. From

12
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>the press release, where does Nick Muhammad's mind go when

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 1>asked to make In Everybody's Home for the Holidays film?

14
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>What's the narrative arc for Ramesh Wagon, Athans BRB Crying

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Tear Jerker? What on earth would Michelle Wolf's Coming of

16
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>age Animal Tale look like? Find out On The Big Pitch.

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Phil Wang is the guest on episode one, so I'm

18
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>doubly in. I love Phil and I'm a big Jimmy

19
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Carr fan Car said, by night I'm a stand up comedian,

20
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>but by day I have a proper job in real

21
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 1>show business. I commissioned movies for Netflix, so if you've

22
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>ever seen a movie liked on Netflix, you're welcome. This

23
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast gives a glimpse behind the scenes of the rigorous

24
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>pitching process and also a good excuse to mess around

25
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>with some very funny friends. Jimmy might be the British

26
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Hart. Jimmy Carr also not afraid to work. This

27
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>guy's always got stuff going on. One of my favorites,

28
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe actually my favorite comedian right now. Ten episodes every

29
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 1>other Wednesday, but the first one is already out. Jimmy

30
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 1>was also recently a guest on Joe Rogan. As I

31
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>speak the sentence, I haven't had a chance to listen

32
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>to it yet, but it is queued up for one

33
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of my dogwalks. Let's stay across the pond for a second,

34
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 1>as they say, this one not funny at all. A

35
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 1>comedian who joked about the Liverpool parade crash had a

36
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>show canceled following a social media backlash. This from the

37
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>BBC in case you missed it at least six twenty

38
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 1>five people were injured. On Monday, a car crashed into

39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 1>the crowd which had gathered for Liverpool's Premier League victory parade.

40
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Comedian Andrew Lawrence on social media boasted he would drive

41
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>through crowds of people to get out of the city.

42
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 1>People did not react to that well. His comedy gig

43
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>was canceled. Lawrence said he was disappointed the venue had

44
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>lost their courage after being bombarded with abuse and threats

45
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of violence from online trolls. A spokesperson for the club

46
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>said we send everyone impacted by the tragic events in

47
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Liverpool our support and prayers. Lawrence described the cancelation of

48
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>his gig as understandable but disappointing. I will reschedule for

49
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>later in the year at a different venue in South End.

50
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Sorry for the inconvenience, Have a great day. The BBC

51
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>reminds us that in twenty twenty one, one of Lawrence's

52
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>stand up gigs in Hampshire was canceled after racist comments

53
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>he made about England's black footballers. Mark Marin is part

54
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>of a documentary coming out in August called Anxiety Club.

55
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Anxiety Club behind the scenes, content and commentary from fellow

56
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 1>comedians about how mental health impacts their daily lives and

57
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the trailer, and Maren says, most of what reacted to

58
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 1>with something your brain is making up. My anxiety stopped

59
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 1>me from having children. Also appearing Tiffany Jenkins, Baron Vaughan

60
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 1>upon an Atula, Mark normand Eve, A, Victor and Joe List.

61
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>The opening scene of Anxiety Club shows Mark Normand doing

62
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 1>a rooftop gig. He says, I love a roof gig.

63
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>This goes horribly, I could just jump right off. Joe

64
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>List is then seen in a comedy club making jokes

65
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>about how many times his thoughts about his parents dying

66
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>or him being diagnosed with cancer across his mind every day.

67
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>The press release says all of the comedians in Anxiety

68
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Club have created stand up or sketch material about their

69
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 1>mental health that's not only funny, but uniquely relatable and

70
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>disarming two audiences. Anxiety Club arrives on Jolt August fifteenth.

71
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Eddie Murphy will start in the pick Up. Pete Davidson

72
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>also in the Pickup. It will be on Amazon Prime

73
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Video August sixth. In the Pickup, a routine cash pickup

74
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored trucks drivers

75
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson, are ambushed by ruthless criminals

76
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>led by a savvy mastermind with plans that go way

77
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 1>beyond the cash cargo. As chaos unfolds, the unlikely duo

78
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>must navigate high risk danger, clashing personalities, one very bad

79
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>day that keeps getting worse. Do You Not So Canceled?

80
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>A z'son Sorry is part of the cast of Good Fortune,

81
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 1>stars Keanu Reeves. This is a movie which will be

82
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 1>in theater's October seventeenth. Good Fortune introduces Kano Reeves as Gabriel,

83
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>a well meaning but rather an ept angel who decides

84
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to intervene in the lives of a struggling gig worker

85
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>played by a zizin Sorry, and a wealthy venture capitalist

86
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Seth Rogan. Do You not so canceled? Azason? Sorry? Told

87
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Entertainment Weekly, I'm not buying this. This sounds like Hollywood stuff.

88
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>When Reeve's name came up and casting, I'm sorry, wasn't

89
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 1>so sure? Right? Yeah? No, I don't want to be

90
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>in your movie. No, not at all. Told Entertainment Weekly

91
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 1>that guy Reeves just seems like he's on a different planet,

92
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Doesn't seem like would be

93
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>able to interact when they finally met, I'm sorry, was

94
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 1>awestruck to the point, and sorry was nervous not only

95
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>about working alongside a Hollywood giant he grew up watching,

96
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 1>but also directing him. I was like, hey, man, we

97
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 1>got to hang out a few times, so I'm not

98
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>freaked out about being around you, you know what I mean.

99
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>So he was like, I get what you mean. So

100
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>he hung out, and he came over to my house

101
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and I made him Indian food and we hung out

102
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>for a while and he told me all these stories,

103
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 1>and then we went to dinner a couple of times,

104
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>and I tried to really spend time with him, to

105
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>get to know him a little bit so I could

106
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>become comfortable around him. Mm hmm. Good job, publicist, Good fortune,

107
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>October seventeenth, in theaters. More from that Hollywood reporter around

108
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>table with various comedians. My former coworker Jamie Fox said,

109
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I had a special deal for a long time, but

110
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>I had nothing to talk about. What was I going

111
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 1>to talk about? I was rich, I was behind my gates.

112
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I remember seeing Eddie Murphy at his house. This was

113
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>around coming to America, and he says he's going to

114
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>go and try and do stand up and I say

115
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>to him, you can't. He says why, and I say,

116
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>this ain't funny. Your house is too nice. Whatever that

117
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>scent is. He had a scent, you know, the stuff

118
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 1>that pumps through the house. And I said, what does

119
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>that smell? And he said it's pomegranate. And I said,

120
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you know what that is tells me

121
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 1>you ain't funny. Bro It was too perfect, and that

122
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>was me. I was living in that, so I didn't

123
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 1>have anything to talk about. Then this stroke happened, and

124
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, this is a platform, but I don't

125
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 1>want to have another stroke, even though we have a

126
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>deal for another hour. As it's the beginning of a

142
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Atlantic had written a piece about Colin shows, saying the

143
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Weekend Update host and knows exist exactly what he's doing.

144
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Good take by The Atlantic, They say, when Joe's first

145
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 1>took the job as a weekend Upday co host in

146
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen, he came across as a cocky prep school kid,

147
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>doomed to discover that the rest of the world does

148
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.759
<v Speaker 1>not share the high opinion he has of himself. Some

149
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>armchair critics and social media users sigh that, of course,

150
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>Lorne Michaels had given the show's most prestigious job to

151
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>another bland white guy. But eventually Joe seemed to find

152
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 1>that he could win the public's goodwill by acknowledging its

153
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>disdain leading into his unlikability gave Jose a distinctive comedic energy,

154
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and funnily enough, made him a lot more likable. Jose

155
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 1>found his groove by appearing to accept that many people

156
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>were eager to tell a guy like him off. He

157
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't exactly shed his entitled persona, but he settled into

158
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a role as sort of a pressure release valve, a

159
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 1>way for others to process their cultural anxieties. For example,

160
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Sarah Sherman is his greatest tormentor. Sherman demonstrated a talent

161
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.959
<v Speaker 1>for nimbly turning every innocuous thing Joe said against him,

162
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>at one point insisting that he kissed Michael Chay and

163
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>accused him of being a homophobe for refusing, and when

164
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>he finally agrees, accusing him of now mocking the queer

165
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>community by pretending to be gay. Hers depict him as

166
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 1>representative fairly or not, of an antiquated mindset the Sherman's

167
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>open minded peers are perpetually butting up against. But she

168
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>also paints Jose as someone who can't win because he's

169
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 1>unable to keep up with the speed of her humor,

170
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>and the more she piles it on, the funnier. The

171
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>exchange becomes and in this one just just I'm leaving

172
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>all that in. You could see it fried my brain.

173
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to make of this. Tiffany Hattish

174
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and the CEO of Fanatics, the sports Apparel Guy, they

175
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>were on CBS this morning's and for some reason, Tiffany

176
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Hattish is involved with Fanatics veest. The Fanatics guy said

177
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>they had seventy thousand fans show up at last year's

178
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Fanatics Fest, So what could they do to make it

179
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>next level? Well eight sports them to challenges. First place

180
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 1>wins a million dollars, second place a five hundred thousand

181
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>dollars Ferrari. Don't forget you have to pay Texas in

182
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that Ferrari, and third place gets a two hundred and

183
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.919
<v Speaker 1>fifty grand lebron James Rookie trading Card. Confirmed participants include

184
00:08:54.039 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, Kevin Durant, Kevin Hart, Rob Gronkowski, and quarterback

185
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson. Now why Tiffany Hattish was part of this,

186
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Is she hosting this? The article didn't

187
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>tell me, But Tiffany said, I'm very athletic. I was

188
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>all city in high school, shot put, I run fast,

189
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>jump high, and throw hard. So anyway, Fanatics Fest is

190
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>coming up, and I guess Tiffany Hattish is going to

191
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>be there, but I'm not sure. And that is your

192
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, please

193
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 1>tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

194
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>We already talked about how to get a commercial free,

195
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 1>so I'll just stop talking and I'll see tomorrow
