00:01:24.500He gets right up next to the microphone.
00:01:26.240I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
00:01:29.140You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.
00:01:34.660Listen to Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:01:42.140I'm Lacey Mosley, author, actor, stand-up comedian, creator, and host of Scam Goddess Podcast,
00:01:47.800the true crime comedy podcast all about robbery, fraud, and those who practice it.
00:01:52.180Each week I bring on an amazing guest.
00:30:23.460like once you get canceled, you're dead.
00:30:24.740you just go do something else you just go do something else you're not gonna be a big internet
00:30:28.480star you're not gonna be like he's gonna go he's gonna go rock little clubs he's gonna go back to0.95
00:30:33.320new york city and rock clubs where people want to hear racist shit that that community exists0.76
00:30:37.640and so like can't you never really get like if i get canceled i'm gonna open a fruit stand you0.95
00:30:41.500can't cancel my fruit stand like you can't sell fruit here it depends on the level of entertainment
00:30:46.860you want to put out to the world because if you want to be at that stage i think this what this
00:30:51.560is showing and what cancel culture shows is there's a standard yeah there is a level of
00:30:56.480class that you must operate with if you want to win yeah i think it's also circumstantial
00:31:02.400i believe in harvey being canceled i'm like yeah yeah for sure that guy forever oh my god
00:31:09.000like forever and ever yeah of course i'm saying i don't or like purdue pharma like those people
00:31:13.140if you've broken a law hurt somebody directly yeah the other thing is i think there's also
00:31:18.580a certain amount of racial um like impact like uh factors that go into it so like dave chapelle0.97
00:31:28.340could easily call white people honkies and no one would ever give a shit like he would not be even0.96
00:31:32.560tapped for it but on the other hand if a white person obviously says something about another0.99
00:31:36.900race i think right now especially it's a very hard time to be a white comedian that makes jokes
00:31:41.820about any other race i think i think races are completely off off the grid for any white people0.99
00:31:47.420right now to even touch on well they're also fucking cheap like i hate the comedians that0.99
00:31:52.300are complaining like oh everything's so pc i'm like write better fucking jokes then like keep0.99
00:31:56.580up with the times like that's no one else's problem that you can't grab all that low-hanging0.99
00:32:00.380fruit anymore i feel like we're also so saturated in comedy it's like that shit isn't amusing0.70
00:32:05.180make something better i've said that before i like that i like that um and it's interesting0.67
00:32:10.780because you do come from the world of and there's a couple articles on it even where they say you
00:32:15.580balance trauma and comedy and you do from come from a comedy background uh so when it comes to
00:32:22.620stand up is is it possible to go too far nowadays i think i think it depends how funny you are like0.98
00:32:29.380louis ck fuck him forever uh to a certain extent but he made you know dead babies funny with that0.98
00:32:34.660dumpster joke you know he was like having a kid made me realize why kids are left in dumpsters i1.00
00:32:38.340was like that's a brilliant point of view like he was able to make pedophilia funny by being like0.96
00:32:42.600wow it has to be so fucking good for you to touch that that kid knowing the consequences so I think
00:32:48.300it really depends if you're able to find a perspective that's funny then no nothing is0.99
00:32:53.340off limits but if you're just trying to like spew a bunch of hate or bullshit then people are going0.97
00:32:58.060to flag that but I also understand that hate and that bullshit portion of it is necessary to make0.99
00:33:03.340that bit funny like I used to joke a lot about my sister's suicide about rape about abortion0.95
00:33:07.480but for a while it was pretty unfunny because I was trying to find the right perspective of it
00:33:12.360Right. So I do think comedians, higher profile comedians need to find workable rooms in which they're not being recorded or people understand this is still a work in progress.
00:33:21.680That's a really that's a really good point.
00:33:23.920Yeah, that's a really good point, because I think I bet you a lot of these jokes when people are kind of walking that line, they're probably trying stuff, which because comedians experiment and try stuff in front of live audiences and clubs.
01:19:49.500You do the online quiz, and it gives you what your top five and your top 40 strengths are.
01:19:54.560And my number one is bravery, which I really liked and I identified with.
01:20:00.500But I think it's because I love animals so much, and I also feel very empowered to speak up for disenfranchised voices or voices that may not be heard because of my sister.
