Speaker 1 (00:12):
Let's discuss the Tom Brady roast on Netflix. Brilliant idea,
by the way, like genius, brilliant idea. I mean, and
a roast is a dying art. Jeff Ross has been
around forever and he's the roastmaster, and Lisa Lampinelli used.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
To be big in the game.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
A lot of the people are dinosaurs and aren't even
doing it anymore. But Jeff Ross kind of owns that space.
And many of you, none of you know, none of
you know that I was on the dais at the
Friars Club where the roasts all started. That's where this
whole craft started. They used to air the Friars Club roasts,
and I was on the dais and I roasted Betty
(00:54):
White and ahead of time, and there was a lot
of people who were on TV who were there, and
I mean everyone was fam I mean obviously Betty White
was there, and Barbara Walters was there, and I think
it was Gilbert.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Godfried was there. A lot of people were there.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And I was paired with a writer ahead of time,
and I ended up giving away the right just saying
I don't want to write or I want to write
for myself because I just that's just not my style.
I can't imagine someone that gave what I would want
to say. So I wrote for myself and I have
it somewhere. It's up in my memorabilia. It's on a DVD.
And I landed it. I stuck the landing so much
(01:28):
so that Jeff Ross and I got to know each
other since then because he said, wow, that was really good,
Like I had never done anything like that, and it
was nerve wracking. It was a massive room, a ballroom
at the Friars Club with real comedians and I was
getting up there to do it and we got roasted
all so Lisa Lampinelley I think, was there that night,
and unless I'm mistaken, but anyway, so I stuck the
(01:49):
landing for sure, and it was super funny, and even
Barbara Walters gave me a compliment, like Betty White gave
me a compliment. And it was funny because one of
the things was like how far do we go? Like
how much are we going to go?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
There? Because I think she was ninety at the time.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
If I'm not mistaken, it could have been eighty, but
I think it was ninety and we went all the
way and it's funny because that is a dying art.
And the Tom Brady Rose they went all the way
like twenty twenty four. People don't go all the way anymore.
No one goes all the way. Nikki Glazer took chances,
and I texted her, you stuck the landing.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
She left no crumbs, but like the.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Other gentleman, and I'm annoyed that I don't know his name,
because that's not giving him his flowers, which she deserves.
There was the guy who made the whales Vagina joke
about the Kardashians.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
He was talking. He had the longest bit.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It seemed like of the clips I saw because I
haven't watched the whole thing yet because i'm saving it
and savoring it, I might have mortarantom and I see
the whole thing, so I apologize. But he let he
ate that thing, and he wasn't scared.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
He was you know.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I mean, they were talking about shit that's totally inappropriate,
and it was great that Netflix is airing it, and
it was just a throwback to like when people said
what a fuck they wanted, and like that dying art
of true comedy wasn't dead because everyone's afraid. But I
will say that this has nothing to do with not
(03:14):
going there, going there on Gizelle repeatedly by many people.
I think was a low hanging fruit mistake. Like, you know,
my friend was like she thought it was really what
was the word she said, It is cheesy. I don't
remember what she said, but like we didn't love that,
Like it wasn't necessary to go after her multiple times,
(03:37):
throw in a couple of swipes.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It was his wife.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
But it became like the main thing about him was
his divorce, Like let's talk about him, let's talk about
him on the field, in the locker room, whatever, you know,
But talking about his divorce as the main thing is
low hanging fruit.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I didn't like that.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
It's not fair to her, Like someone has to have
a heart about that, Like that's not she has nothing
to do with this. She's not there de finding herself,
she has nothing to do with this. She's not making money.
Her kids can't love that.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It just was like whoa.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
But what was interesting is that Tom Brady got visceral
and went up and was like, do not make that
joke again. Do not say anything about him again. When
Jeff Ross made a massage joke about Robert Kraft. Tom
didn't have any visceral reaction about his ex wife being
dragged behind a car by everyone, but one comment on
(04:25):
Robert Craft. He put his fucking lit up like a
Christmas tree and ran up there. We haven't seen anything
like that. That was like no meat left.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
On the fucking carcass. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And the Kim Kardashian thing. I guess she got booed
for a while. Is that because of Taylor? Is that
just because it's Boston? Is that because whatever? Because it
happened to her somewhere else recently, A woe was heckling
her like it's not you.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Know, it's it can't be easy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I will say, I know that none of you are
crying for her, but it can't be easy to like
be booed then have someone stand up and scream like
it's not And at the mecal she looked a little uncomfortable,
like that's gotta that's you're gonna take a hit, you know, Listen,
what goes up must come down if you're gonna be
that famous, like you're gonna take hits. Sometimes it's just
the nature of the beasts, like it's what, it's what
(05:15):
goes on, you're gonna be in a car ride, somebody's
gonna spill something.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So she's been in a long car ride. And that
wasn't that great.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Netflix did delete it, which I guess people were like
that they didn't want that taken out.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Does it add to the show? You know?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Her her bit wasn't It didn't land Like it was okay,
but like it was such a group of craftsmen and
craft women in there that her lines didn't really land.
They didn't seem that inspired. Like it wasn't funny, but
she's not funny. Like the things that she and her
family does are funny, but she's not funny. So like
you're not supposed to expect it's funny. Because Dave Portnoy
(05:56):
was saying he wished he was invited and he should
have been invited because he is the Patriots and it
shows about the Patriots and he's taught the biggest Tom
Brady fan and all that stuff, and he wasn't invited,
and he speculated that it was a Kim Kardashian reason
like that. She said, fine, I'll do it, but not
if he's doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I don't think she was.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I don't think she's controlling Ted Sarandos and Netflix, you know,
one of the top multi billion dollar companies in the world,
and what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I don't think that's why he wasn't invited. He probably
just wasn't invited. It's like, why wasn't I at the
met Gala? Why because you weren't fucking invited? So like
he just wasn't invited, like point blank. I think it's
just like, I don't think Kim Kardashian's running Netflix's decisions,
because I think Netflix runs the whole show, runs the
rodeo in the world as much as Anna Winter runs
(06:40):
the Mechala. So that's very him to think that, like
something that she's coming in and being like, here's my rider.
I need black licorice, cashers, pop chips, Pellegrino, you know,
and a fuzzy nice Kashmir card again in case something
goes wrong with my wardrobe. But also Portnhard can't be invited.
(07:01):
So that was so he said that, But he then
they asked him to do an in the moment roast
of Kim Kardashian on his show, and he thought he
did great because he just trashed her. But that's not
a roast. A rose isn't trashing someone. A roast is
being funny, like trashing someone while being endearing. Anybody could
just say mean things about somebody. He does that every
(07:22):
day and he could be on the Housewives doing that
like a roast is a real like a crafted statement,
no pun intended, a crafted statement that does skewer someone
and roast them, but it's wrapped in laughter. Just you know,
abusing someone is not just is not funny, but just
like wrapping in a laughter is funny. So the Giselle
(07:45):
stuff was funny, but it's not funny because she's not
the one being roasted, you know, and she wasn't even
on the days. If she agreed to be there as
one of the people, that would be different. So anyway,
I thought they did a great job, really smart. I'm
sure that they should start doing that for other people.
That would be insane. Oh my god, I die to
go to something like that. That looked so fun, but
(08:06):
I have to now watch the whole thing. Let's give
Nicki Glazer her flowers. Nicki Glazer gets her flowers because
she's a woman in a man's profession. In many cases,
(08:30):
on the road shitty hotels, the whole thing, and she
crushed it. And like I feel like landing that in
that arena on that stage for Netflix with Tom Brady,
like every all the pins are just like lined up,
and she knocked them all down. And that can be
like a career builder. Like the other gentleman that I'm
(08:52):
upset that I can't think of his name, because I'm
gonna give him his flowers one of these days too.
I'll mention it next time he that could like revive
career in the same way that having an amazing gorgeous
moment on the Mech Gala carpet could revive a career too.
I mean, Jennifer Lopez has had a rough couple of months,
like it's not been the most fun for her. And
(09:15):
I said to myself, she's gonna come and she's going
to slay the day at the met gal And know
whether you think she did or she didn't, you know,
some people are talking about her hair and whatever. I'm
sure you can't win for losing. But she came there
with an outfit and her boat was showing through and
she made a statement on the carpet and it can
almost like rinse away all the drama. It's like thriving
(09:38):
and surviving. It's a reason why people would pay even
if they had to. She didn't pay, But if she
had to pay seventy five thousand a tickets, you bet
your fucking ask she would. I mean her team would,
and her company would, and her people would. But it
would be worth it. You could be worth it. If
someone called me tomorrow and said, give me seventy five
grand you're going on the met Galic carpet. I'm gonna
tell you the truth because I know you know I
talk about drugstore lipgloss and.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
All that stuff. I'm gonna tell you what I would.
I'd pay the seventy five g's.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It could be if I landed a look, it could
be like it could change, It could be a deal,
or something interesting could come out of it. Like I
don't know who I'd be sitting at a table. I
always make a joke that I just want to land
the look. It's not really totally true. I'd like to
land the look and then just be at the table
with who the business people are, because what happens at
the metcala is it's business tables. Like you know, big
(10:24):
brands will buy a table, and the big brands will
buy a table, but they have to let celebrities sit there.
So if the right celebrity that's not like, you know,
a giraffe looking around at everybody else, is sitting down,
they're gonna go like, yes, let's sit and talk to
the CEO of LREL. Let's sit and talk to CEO
of Nordstrum or Apple or whoever the hell is there.
Let's sit down and talk to Jeff Bezos. I mean,
(10:46):
you know, like, let's be that would be it. That's
a room.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's a room.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So that's the seventy five g's that I think it
is minimum, But yeah, it's worth the seventy five g's
for Jlo to go in there and rinse off what
just happened?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, check. She could pay a million dollars to do that. Honestly,
that would be worth it.
Let's discuss the Tom Brady roast on Netflix. Brilliant idea,
by the way, like genius, brilliant idea. I mean, and
a roast is a dying art. Jeff Ross has been
around forever and he's the roastmaster, and Lisa Lampinelli used.
