1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: Joy listening to the Hammer and Nigel show. Right, everybody,

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: my name is Nigel. Ethan Hatcher is filling in for Hammer.

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: Stand up Comedy Madness. You know how this works. We've

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: put together sixteen of the most famous comedians that we thought.

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: I mean, we can't get everybody in, but this is

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: like a stand up comedy March Madness bracket style tournament. Ethan,

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: So Friday's match on, let's go back to Friday George

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Carlin beat Nor McDonald. George Carlin beating Nor McDonald number eleven.

9
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Can we go back with the clip that we played

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: from Norm McDonald talking about the best kind of diseases

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: you could have?

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: Although my buddy I did want to say one thing

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: about my buddy Richie, who has a disease, but it's

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: an interesting disease he has. He has a disease of alcoholism. Alcoholism,

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: and he came to me, you know, and he told me,

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: and I like to look. I'm a kind of guy

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: who likes to look at the bright side of things,

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: you know. So I told him, I said, Richie, it's

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: true that you have a disease and everything, but I

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: think you got the best one. Laughing, it's the only

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: disease where you get to drink booze all the time.

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: I haven't looked at every medical journal, but I believe

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: it's the only disease where you can constantly drink booze.

24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, that is the disease.

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So he went up against the number six seed,

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: George Carlin.

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: I think people show their ignorance when they say they

28
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 3: want politicians to be honest. What are these people talking about?

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: If honesty were suddenly introduced into politics, it would throw

30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: everything off the whole system to lamps. And I think

31
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: deep down the American people know that the American people

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: like their bullshit out front yep, where they can get

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: a good, strong whiff of it. That's why they re

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 3: elected Clinton. Lessen. Clinton might be full of shit, but

35
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: he lets you know it. Dol tried to hide it.

36
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: All right, We got it, We got it, all right.

37
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: George Carlin advancing in the stand up comedy bracket.

38
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: Now, this was such an unfair matchup, Nige. I mean, look,

39
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 5: it was probably inevitable that George Carlin would have defeated

40
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 5: Norm McDonald, But we could have delayed the inevitable a

41
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 5: little bit. Give it norma chance. I like that dry humor,

42
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: that deadpan delivery.

43
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: You use the word rye that is that is Norm

44
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: McDonald and the late Norm McDonald. God rest is soul,

45
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: rest in peace. Today's matchup, we got the sixteenth seed

46
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: versus the number one seed. Now you may disagree with

47
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: these seeds. We just kind of came up with this.

48
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Hammer actually did a great job in coming up with

49
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: this bracket. But number sixteen Shane Gillis versus Number one

50
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor. One of my favorite that was Shane Gillis's

51
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: first stand up special that I've ever seen, was on Netflix,

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: and he's talking about I don't think it's in this clip,

53
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: but he's talking about like like I racked, like the

54
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: terrorist videos where they put that put it out there

55
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: where they were on the monkey bars and stuff like that.

56
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: They actually put that stuff out there like it was

57
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: meant to intimate eight people when they were on the

58
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: monkey bars and crawling in the sand and stuff. And

59
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: then he's talking about the differences between how the terrorists

60
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: would react when they when they killed somebody versus how

61
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the Americans would react.

62
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 5: They also number won.

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: They got fucked up every single time that they would

64
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: blow up like one truck every five months. They'd be

65
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: just as surprises. Everybody finally worked out. You can hear

66
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: in their voice, I'm a blow up. They'd be like,

67
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: oh yeah, dude, that's a human reaction. That's relatable. That's

68
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: what I would do if I saw an explosion. Can

69
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: you ever watch us kill people? I can't relate to

70
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: that at all. Just some black Hawk helicopter with night

71
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: vision mows down like forty people. Pilot gets on, he

72
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: just goes clear, just just flies away. It's like, yo,

73
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: that's a psycho at all.

74
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: So funny. So that's the sixteen seed. Shane Gillis and

75
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: one of the funniest stand up specials I've seen in

76
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: a while. Have you do? Are you familiar with?

77
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: I have not watched that Shane Gillis special. I really

78
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 5: know who live. Of course I know who Shane gillis.

79
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 5: I've seen many clips of Shane Gillis. Very talented comedian,

80
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 5: but for me, this matchup is no common.

81
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: That's a sweet heartwarming thing that he does about his

82
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: uncle who has Down syndrome too. It's very it's very enduring.

83
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 5: He can do some good impressions as well. Oh yes,

84
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 5: Trump Trump.

85
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: I think that I think the name of his first

86
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: specialist beautiful dogs. They're beautiful dogs that came in and

87
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: killed the terrorists. Okay, so this is again somewhat of

88
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: a I don't know. Unfair is not the word, but

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: this is this is a mega matchup between Shane Gillis

90
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: and number one Richard Pryor talking about smoking crack.

91
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: I fell in.

92
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: Love witness pipe.

93
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: This pipe controlled my very bitch.

94
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: Don't answer the phone. We have smoking to do on

95
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 4: the pipe.

96
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 5: Now, come on, don't put me down anywhere where I might.

97
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: Fall, because there's two in the morning and it's hard

98
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 4: to get one of me.

99
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: So again, just so you know, And the polls are

100
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: up now on Facebook and on x at Hammer and Nigel.

101
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: It's not the clips we're voting on here, it's the

102
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: body of the career work. It's the career. It's the

103
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: talent Shane Gillis versus Richard Pryor you.

104
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 5: Got for that reason alone. We gotta go with Richard

105
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 5: Pryor for no other reason. Then he had a much

106
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 5: longer career. Now, when we're looking in the rearview mirror

107
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 5: on Shane Gillis's career, maybe that opinion is going to change,

108
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 5: but you can't beat like. I mean, just the stuff

109
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 5: that Richard Pryor did with Gene Wilder alone. I mean,

110
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 5: you got the like Blazing Saddles stir crazy.

111
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: Was Richard Pryor in Byah, Richard Pryor was, Yeah.

112
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: Richard Pryor was in Blazing Saddles.

113
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: I believe you you no Evil here? No Evil was

114
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: a classic. I loved watching that where Gene Wilder he

115
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: was deaf and Richard Pryor was blind, right, and there

116
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: they got they got mixed up in the premise is hysterical.

117
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 5: And then also Richard Pryor was a woman also, you know,

118
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: Richard Pryor bridge differences in a time where there was

119
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 5: much starker division in the culture. So you know, I mean,

120
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: I think Richard Pryor one of the all time greats

121
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: in comedy.

122
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: Very diverse crowd in Richard Pryor's live events in terms

123
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: of black people and white people, I mean, he pointed

124
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: it out and he wasn't afraid to talk about that

125
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: stuff back in you know Live Sunset Strip was at

126
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: seventy nine. It was just the university. It was like

127
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: the fortieth.

128
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: Richard Pryor did jokes that you couldn't get away with today.

129
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: He just loved that.

130
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: As an African American.

131
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,720
