1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,759
Speaker 1: Callaroga, Shark Media.

2
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: And Air, and Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News,

3
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,800
a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians on the

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,079
comedy industry. A sentence I can't remember unless I write

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,719
it down, but the algorithm loves it. David Cross as

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,079
a new special. It's called the End of the Beginning

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,359
of the End, and the La Times was like, what

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,519
does the end of the beginning of the End mean?

9
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:29,280
David Cross explains, Well, you could look at it a

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,960
couple different ways. To me, it signifies the beginning of

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,880
the end has occurred, and we're now at the end

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,560
of the beginning of the end. And from where you

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,399
go with that, that's up for you to decide. The

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,159
La Times likes that this special shot in a club.

15
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:46,640
Cross that I've shot specials in theaters and it's just different,

16
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:48,479
not that one's better than the other, they're just different.

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,640
You have a different relationship with the audience. When I

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,759
first started touring, I'd go to music venues and I'd

19
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:54,200
have a band open up for me. Then I'd just

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,880
go up and pretty much perform as long as I

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,320
could until I had to pee, sometimes out of a band,

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,520
playing sometimes two bands, then I'd go. I did that

23
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,880
a couple times and stopped doing that, and then did theaters,

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,599
and I decided for the last two specials, want to

25
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,239
shoot it, I'll go to a music venue. I was

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,120
at the forty Walk Club in Athens last time. I

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,280
was at the Metro in Chicago before that, both places

28
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,799
I played on earlier tours. And you know, it's not seated.

29
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:14,879
People are standing there at the stage, and I preferred

30
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:17,280
it's more fun. It's not as lucrative, but it's a

31
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,239
more fun show to do. Cross talked about his movie

32
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,920
roles and if his daughter has seen anything. He said,

33
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,120
I don't actively shield her, but I don't introduce her

34
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,959
to anything. So I was a little bummed out and

35
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,439
I got over it pretty quickly. But when I found

36
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:29,840
out she had seen a little bit of Alvin and

37
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,680
the Chipmunks, and only because I didn't want to spoil

38
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,480
the enjoyment of what movies are and what kids' movies

39
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,000
are and how things work, and I feel like that

40
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,959
would introduce an element of reality that I just want

41
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,760
her to be able to enjoy these things without. She's

42
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:41,799
seen Kung Fu Panda when she was younger, Like I

43
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:43,799
don't know three four, five times. That has no idea

44
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,280
that I'm in that my voice is there. She knows

45
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,920
how you stand up. She gets that now. When she

46
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,079
was younger, she'd say, daddy's silly for a living. I'm

47
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:52,480
just trying to ride the balance of letting her have

48
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:56,079
those childhood joys and experiences. I thought this was interesting.

49
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,519
Cross said, I still get excited to watch specials by

50
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:00,760
some of my favorite comics, but there's there's a quality

51
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,200
that's missing. And these are all stand ups I love,

52
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:05,280
and they're not that great. They're not bad, but they're

53
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,840
not special. You know, I don't know why that is.

54
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,560
I mean, there's still funny stuff, but I don't ever

55
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,960
want to get to that place where it just feels

56
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,840
a little phoned in a little bit. That's why these

57
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:14,919
last two specials were shot in the orient, mid setting

58
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,800
that feel special. As they said, the energy is different,

59
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,520
it's a little bit different, and it's less slick. You're

60
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,919
in the moment. You don't need a million dollars to

61
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,919
shoot a special. You don't need twenty eight camera angles.

62
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,159
It just bs and it takes something away. Independent Rhode

63
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:28,479
Island caught up with Hannibal burse Hannibal dabbles in music

64
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,199
when he's not doing comedy. As for music, Hannibal said,

65
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:33,280
it's really writing in another format. If you're a writer,

66
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:34,759
you can write stand up, you can write a sketch,

67
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,840
you can write for television, you can do copy for somebody,

68
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:39,759
you can ghost write for somebody else, or you can

69
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:41,759
write music. Music just another way to write stuff, and

70
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:43,599
it also necessarily it doesn't have to be funny at

71
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,000
every moment. It can be funny, but it can have

72
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,319
a range of emotions. So there's ideas that I've touched

73
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,879
on in my stand up that have also brought into

74
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,719
music and stories that I've told him both where I've

75
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:53,439
been able to approach it in a different way. In music,

76
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:55,439
you can focus on small details and things like that

77
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:57,800
in a story, but every moment doesn't necessarily have to

78
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,599
be funny, and stand up every moment doesn't have funny either,

79
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,120
with the setup and everything. But it's good to have

80
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:04,159
an arsenal of both formats where you can examine any

81
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,639
idea and see which format goes in best. Julio Tores

82
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:11,039
was in Interview magazine. He fielded some questions. One of

83
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,039
the questions was, hey, Julio, I think my apartment is haunted,

84
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:16,080
but the rent is super cheap. How can I expel

85
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,919
the ghosts? Great question, Juliosaur says, your rent is super

86
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,960
cheap because your apartment is haunted. You can't have your

87
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,800
cake and eat it too. Okay, if you expel the

88
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,159
ghost that means you're expelling the decease, are making your

89
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:29,919
rent cheaper because you're a subletter of the ghosts. Now,

90
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,879
how can you get rid of them? E victim Them's

91
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,240
not on the table. I think you have to learn

92
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,159
how to coexist and make this the best you can.

93
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Or if it feels like it's untenable because they're eating

94
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:39,360
your food or whatever, I would just find a new apartment.

95
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,039
Charlie Day has been cast in the new film Golf Trip.

96
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,800
Golf Trip follows three longtime best friends who reunite for

97
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,240
their annual golf getaway. What begins as a relaxing escape

98
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,960
quickly unravels when they are unexpectedly paired with the universally

99
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,240
dreaded single golfer. As tensions rise and personalities clash, the

100
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,039
trip spirals into a series of increasing chaotic and comedic misadventures.

101
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:05,039
GQ caught up with Joel kim Booster. He's on the

102
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520
current season of Scrubs, which I'm enjoying the heck out of.

103
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,360
We learned that Joel kim Booster is a no breakfast guy.

104
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,439
Joel tells GQ, I don't eat my first meal until

105
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:16,720
late in the afternoon. My body is incredibly used to it.

106
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,439
At this point, I find the most effective way for

107
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,120
me to eat what I want without necessarily tracking every

108
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,240
macro and stuff like that, and still maintaining some of

109
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,040
the ratio to body fat to muscle that I have. Joel,

110
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:28,920
do you have any go to snacks? He says. What

111
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:31,199
I try to do is only have available stuff in

112
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,160
the house that is reasonably good for you to some degree.

113
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:36,160
I'm big on fried chicken skin as a low carb chip.

114
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,399
Substitute fruit leather instead of candy, protein, ice cream, stuff

115
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,680
like that. So it tricks you into thinking you're being bad,

116
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,000
but in fact you're actually being bad in a more

117
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,800
contained way. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival continues. I pulled

118
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,759
some clips. Takashi Jagasuki's show is called Wabi Sabi Comedy. Now.

119
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,279
He's got a show tomorrow at three thirty in the afternoon.

120
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,040
So if you're in Melbourne on a Sunday afternoon comedy,

121
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,240
go see Takashi. As for the title Wabi Sabi Comedy,

122
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,920
we learned that wabi sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that

123
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,759
finds beauty and imperfection in permanence and incompleteness. Waka believes

124
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,160
the concept of wabi sabi is the great way to

125
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:17,199
make people happy, and he thinks it might connect and

126
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,879
adapt to his comedy. Here's a clip just to make

127
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,680
sure everybody gets the joke, plus or minus the accent

128
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:27,720
or the references the material here is talking about. In

129
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Milbourne they have in like a super awesome trolley system

130
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:32,959
and you have to tap your card when you get

131
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:34,399
on and you have to tap your card and when

132
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:36,920
you get off. Okay, so he's talking about tapping your

133
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:38,800
fair card here. I'll let him take it from here.

134
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,639
Speaker 3: I have a question, Melboum. Do you know Mikey Cobb

135
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:49,639
like trans potation Melbourne? Right? The question is do you

136
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:57,720
top when you take Trump? Are you reasoning? Are you

137
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,560
no use? Shoot?

138
00:05:58,639 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: Why?

139
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: But so many people don't rise? And I found there's

140
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,040
a ranking there Merrybourne and Trump happiness ranking. I found

141
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,920
that so you don't have to agree with me, but

142
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:11,680
just please listen. So number one to number four. So

143
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:16,199
number four worst Merlbourne and Trump trip is when you

144
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,759
didn't tap your card and inspector came to check. That's

145
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:24,120
the worst because you have to pay the fine so expensive.

146
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,759
You feel worse. That's number four right. Next number three,

147
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:32,480
number three is when you tapped your card and the

148
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,800
inspector didn't come to check. It sounds normal.

149
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: It sounds normal, but you may think, oh, I didn't

150
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:41,879
have to tap.

151
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: That could have been free. I could have saved money

152
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,040
for the coffee. You feel like you're wasting money, feeling

153
00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:53,720
it's not happy? Number three right, And next number two,

154
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,160
Number two is when you didn't tap your card and

155
00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:02,279
inspector didn't come to check. It's just normal, luckly free

156
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:05,560
tram right and you are happy. You are happy, but

157
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,399
you have to get scared all the time in the tram.

158
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:11,920
You have to check if inspector come or not from

159
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:16,319
the window. Because half happiness and how anxious. That's why

160
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:21,360
number two and then number one happiest Melbourne Trump trip

161
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:27,480
is when you top the card and inspector came to check.

162
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,439
It's the happiest. Do you think because you feel the

163
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,639
extra achievement ex distrugivement, and you proud yourself so much

164
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:39,519
because you know you just made the best decision in

165
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:48,360
your life, tapping card and then you are so confident.

166
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,079
You are so confident, and inspector came ask you can

167
