(00:00):
You're in the page with metallic onsee when a lie res in the morning,

(00:03):
still battling the cold. Maybe youcan tell. Maybe you you don't
pay much attention. I woke uphurting once again, not hurting as bad
as Joe Coy after his performance atthe Golden Globes. The guy's absolutely getting
slammed. I've talked to Joe Coyon this show many times. You can

(00:24):
actually find several interviews right there atsee one on one dot com on the
Rex page. Joe Coy fantastic comedianand that's it. Yeah, maybe he
had an off night. Maybe thecrowd was just plain stuffy. It definitely
kind of looked that way. Anddid Taylor Swift really care all that much
about the joke? The Swifties arereally angry at Joe Coy. But now

(00:47):
he's being defended by several comedians,including Steve Martin and Whoopi Goldberg and others,
saying that these hosting gigs are absolutelybrutal. You're not giving much time
to come up with your material,you know, like ten days before that's
when he found out he would behosting. Is it because the crowd is
just stuffy and thinks so much ofthemselves that we live in a world now

(01:10):
where nobody can laugh at themselves andeveryone's so easily offended. Certainly felt that
way while watching actor Steve Martin,through his support behind Joe Coy, saying,
you know, these these are absolutelybrutal gigs, and I've walked out
on the stage to do one ofthese before and I still get squeamish.

(01:30):
My stomach still hurts a little bitwhen I think about my performance all the
way back in twenty ten. Socongratulations to Joe Coy, who took on
the toughest gig in show business hitmissed whatever it was. He was light
on his feet and now has twentyminutes of new material for his stand up.

(01:51):
So it is interesting to see peoplejust like, oh, cancel Joe
Coy. You can't cancel Joe Coy. The guy is one of the most
talented comedians ever. I don't knowif you've seen any of his specials on
Netflix, but just watch. Ithink a lot of it has to do
with the crowd, and believe itor not, comedians when they go up
and they absolutely fail, it hurtsfor a long time. I mean,

(02:15):
you can do wonderful things for yourcommunity, for the people around you.
You can have great shows in thefuture, but you always remember that one
where you absolutely crashed and burned,and those are the feelings that come back
to you in the oddest times.I can be mowing my grass and all

(02:39):
of a sudden you just end upwith going right back to the moment where
I bombed on stage somewhere, andit just oh oh. You never really
get over it, And a lotof these comedians are saying, yeah,
it still hurts. Maybe comedians shouldboycott Awards shows. That's what some are

(03:01):
saying. It saying, you knowwhat, we're not given enough time to
come up with our material and thenhalf the jokes aren't really written, you
know, for you and hit ormiss. You try to do the very
best job possible, but if youfail, you end up with such public
backlash. I mean, is itreally fair? I mean, do we

(03:22):
really care that that Taylor Swift lookedmaybe a little iched by Joe Coy?
I mean, does that is thatreason to cancel her? Apparently the Swifties
think so. Yeah. Rock androll for you now with twenty one pilots
and he that's You'll tell you thetruth. I can't wait to talk to
Joe Cooy again and see if Ican get another interview.
