North Korean leader King Kim Jong Un was. Has ordered a crackdown on women who undergrow bre undergo breast augmentation, labeling the surgeries as symbols of capitalist corruption. Reports from Daily. Reports from Daily NK say two women who received implants and the doctors who performed the procedures have faced public trials.

[Christopher]

Boy, I sure would like to squeeze those symbols of capitalist corruption. How sexy.

[Shara]

The regime has long tried to control personal appearance, previously targeting clothing, hairstyles and even foreign slang. Analysts say the latest campaign reflects ongoing attempts to suppress Western cultural influence. The judge also condemned breast augmentation surgery as non socialist behavior and stated he.

[Tom]

Likes those communist heavy naturals.

[Shara]

He stated these women were consumed with vanity and ultimately became toxic influences eroding our socialist system.

Oh, sure, sure.

[Christopher]

Doing good work over there. My God, why are they still a country?

[Tom]

Did we lose the button?

Just smithereens, please. God. Did you. Is that a popular thing in South Korea?

[Christopher]

Breast augmentation?

[Tom]

Yeah, the.

[Christopher]

It was not necessarily popular, but it. Yes. You saw it?

[Tom]

Yeah, I'd be interested. We should do some homework. I wonder what country has the most per capita fake boobalage. I would just assume it was the United States.

[Shara]

Yeah, me too.

[Christopher]

We've got to be up there. But usa, Brazil.

[Tom]

Brazil, That's.

[Christopher]

I don't know.

[Tom]

Yeah, maybe.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I don't.

[Tom]

I think maybe the poverty level might reduce the amount of.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I think the number one cosmetic surgery.

[Tom]

Is taking them out.

[Christopher]

I had heard recently someone had told us that.

[Tom]

Really? Yeah.

[Christopher]

Now that should be illegal.

[Tom]

Kim Jong unears about that. Okay. You should have to go in front of a board of three men and explain to them why you want to take them out.

[Christopher]

Right? Right.

[Shara]

Yeah.

[Tom]

It's up to them, you know.

[Christopher]

I'm sorry, ma', am, we can't allow they're gorgeous.

[Tom]

I don't care. You're sick.

[Christopher]

Well, buy a back brace.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

That's right.

[Tom]

Okay, so they're. They're leeching.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

What?

[Tom]

Okay, that's. That's your.

[Christopher]

Whatever, lady.

[Tom]

And they look nice. Okay, let's get back to the.

[Christopher]

Well, we've got.

[Tom]

Wait a minute. Oh, okay, here we go. Joining us on the telephone. And I've been practicing this all. Oh, that. We got him on the screen.

[Christopher]

Hey, we want to see him. Yeah.

[Tom]

John Marco Ceraci. How did I do that? I get it right?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Perfect. You did it fast to make sure no errors occurred, to make sure you couldn't hear it.

[Tom]

I. When. John Marco, you got your new special out there. Josh has already seen it. He walked in yesterday not knowing you're going to be in the show, and he goes, oh, my God, this thing is amazing. Did he get it right? Did he get it right or not? Is it amazing?

[Christopher]

I laughed the whole time. I mean, it starts off immediately and it does not let up for an hour. And bravo, man. It's just really, really great.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Thank you. No, I appreciate you watching it.

[Tom]

John Marco, when you started, did someone like your. Like, in the early open mic days go, hey, look, man, could you change your name? No one's gonna get it right.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I did. My first manager said I need to change it to something more Jewish. Kind of a reverse of what they used to do back in the day. They said. They said. They said. They said, I'm going to get you a meeting at abc and they're going to expect John Marcos Raisi. And in walks John Marcos Arezi. And I was like, oh, okay, okay. But I couldn't do it. You know, when you have a weird name, it becomes part of your identity.

[Tom]

Yeah. Your heritage is of the Jewish faith. Was your mother Jewish?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Mother's Jewish. Dad is un poco Italian.

[Tom]

So they didn't consider doing the hyphenated thing, like, you know, Berkowitz, Shirazi.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Steenzein. No, because my mom's original last name was Rothkrug, which is a. That's a heavy German name.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

So, Sarazi.

[Tom]

Wow. Well, what's new in your life? We haven't seen you for a few months. You. You've got the beard, you've got. You're looking good. What's happening with you?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Thank you. I mean, man, I moved. I moved to Brooklyn. I'm on the road. It's kind of the same life over and over again. It's like Groundhog's Day, but, like, annually And I wake up every new Year and I go, okay, I'm going back to Rochester, New York. Here we go. And, you know, that's. That's. That's what I'm doing.

[Christopher]

Stand up every auditions. You're. You're an actor at heart and, you know, theater kid, as they say.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yeah, yeah. I. You know, I'm starting to get more good. I'm hesitant because being an actor was so degrading. You know, before I did comedy and all I did was act. You meet someone new, all they say, they go, oh, have you been in anything I've seen? And it's like, come on, you wouldn't ask that to a gynecologist. It's such a degrading profession. I. So I'm dipping my toe back in. I did. I had. I had actually had a callback yesterday. And we'll see.

[Christopher]

Okay.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I see these new AI videos, and I go, I don't know how much time is left to get into this profession.

[Tom]

No kidding.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Yeah. We were talking with Jim Gaffigan yesterday, and he kind of had the same thing, and he.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I saw him yesterday. Jim did my podcast yesterday.

[Tom]

Yeah. He goes, I don't know how these actors do it, because there's so much. Even the best actors, sometimes they go, I don't have a gig. I got nothing coming up.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yeah.

[Tom]

So he was saying, at least with stand up, you've always got something to do. And by the way, are you in a hotel room? Are you in a hotel room?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yes, I'm in a hotel room.

[Tom]

Because I was going to say if that. If that's your place in Brooklyn. Move.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

You like my new wallpaper? Yeah. No, My place in Brooklyn has zero wallpaper and zero lamps. We have not done anything. This is heaven.

[Tom]

Wow. Now, are you. So you're not living alone?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I got a girlfriend coming up on five years now.

[Tom]

How's that going?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

It's good. It's good. I see her about three hours a week, and we make the most of it. And she's good. She's a. She's a manager. She's a comedy manager. And we made the decision. She's now my manager as well.

[Tom]

And she's the one. She's the one that wanted you to change your name?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

No, no. I mean, you probably. Probably.

[Christopher]

She.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

She grew up even more Jewish, so she's. She grew up Hasidic. Oh, you know, Hasids.

[Christopher]

Sure.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

With the.

[Tom]

The hairdo and the. The hat like Boy George wears.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yes, yes. And they're always reading the Torah and. And Every time I. I go up to them, if I see them reading the Torah, I'm like, how. Have you not finished that yet? This is the whole thing.

[Tom]

And by the way, n. We're speaking with.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Thank you.

[Tom]

This makes me so nervous. John. John Marco. Cerize.

[Christopher]

Would you like to hear him say it?

[Tom]

Go ahead. Say it slow for me.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

John Marco. Right there you go crazy.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yeah, I know.

[Tom]

I can't do it because I try to put too much sort of sauce on it, and it sounds like everything else I say. It sounds pretentious and affected.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

In Italy, Jamarco Cerese is like Bob and Tom over there.

[Tom]

Truly, there's.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

There's the Jamarco and Cerezi show over in Sicily.

[Tom]

Let's talk about the new. The new special. Where does one find it?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

One finds it on. On YouTube. It is there for free. And, you know, it was. I just wanted, like, to be able to chop it up into pieces, put it wherever I wanted. I just wanted full control. Although YouTube did flag a couple jokes that we had to work out.

[Christopher]

Oh, no kidding.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

We had to. Oh, yeah, it was. It was scary for a second. You know, you put all this money into this thing, all the editing, and then you upload it and they go, oh, because you talk about xyz, there's going to be a suicide hotline underneath the entire thing.

[Christopher]

Oh, my.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

That was a big conference that the whole special would have the hotline underneath. And they said it wouldn't affect the algorithm, but I said, I don't know. I don't know if I want anyone who looks up my special for YouTube to be like, hey, you want to watch show Marco did you know, Helps available. That feels.

[Tom]

No.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Concerning you.

[Christopher]

Don't talk. It's not that big of. I don't even.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

It's not that big. But. But, you know, these algorithms, they're. It's a computer. A computer goes, hey, you said this word. Yeah, we got to add this whole thing.

[Tom]

Now to. To find it, do we have to know how to spell John Marcos Rice, or can we just.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Well, that's why I made sure to do a title that was more monosyllabic. Thief of Joy.

[Tom]

Thief.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Thief. Joy is all you have to put.

[Christopher]

In now, that's based on a tattoo that a friend of yours or a fellow actor or somebody has, right?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yes, he's an actor friend. He. He got a tattoo, one line in his arm that says, comparison is the thief of joy. And I'm really thinking about getting the same tattoo, but bigger.

[Christopher]

Yes.

[Tom]

That is so brilliant. Now, do you have any tattoos?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Why? Actually, I had a tattoo. My first serious girlfriend. I tried winning her back. I got a. Once we broke up, her name was Laura, and I got a tattoo of a cursive L for Laura. And I thought it would impress her. She didn't work. She married someone else. And then every woman I dated after that, I had to tell them about my dead friend Larry.

[Tom]

Or date women whose name started with an lyric. That would have solved your problem.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Fortunately, my current girlfriend, it was a T. I looked for it, but we met during COVID There weren't that many options alphabetically.

[Tom]

Have you had it removed?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

You'll have to see the special.

[Tom]

Oh, okay.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

What came of the tattoo?

[Tom]

Okay. All right.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

What about you? You got any tattoos?

[Tom]

No. But going around the room, we have several. Yeah. A. Pat and Chick both have them.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yeah. I have a cover up of a name.

[Tom]

And then Shara, do you have a tattoo?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

You have a cover up of a name? Yeah. Three letter name. Yeah.

[Tom]

Yeah. In Pat's case, it looks like a bad bat signal.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yeah.

[Tom]

That's not a good cover up. I think it's time to burn that baby off.

[Shara]

Just make a bigger cover up.

[Tom]

Yeah. Once again, we're speaking with a comedian, John Marco Ceresi. He's got a great new special out there. It's called Thief of Joy and you can find it on YouTube. You don't have to even spell John Marco Ceres because you spell it like G, I, A, N, M A R, C, O. It sounds like you're an F1 driver, don't you think?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Sure, sure, I'll take it. I can't. I can't even drive to begin with, but I'll take it.

[Tom]

You don't drive.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

All the coolness. You want to it. No, I don't. I. We talked about this last time. That's right.

[Tom]

That's right. You know. Can you swim?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I can swim.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I. I can swim. Yeah. I'm a pretty decent swimmer.

[Tom]

Okay. Because you got to be able to.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Have one means of transportation if I can't drive.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

Moving to Venice.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Yeah.

[Tom]

By way of explaining, a lot of. A lot of guys that I knew that grew up in the city in New York, they didn't. There were no. Very few pools they couldn't swim and they couldn't drive. So. But yeah, swimming handy. Do you remember the guy that just swam around Manhattan with handcuffs on?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

No. Yes. Was he in trouble or for fun?

[Tom]

For a world record?

[Shara]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Yeah. And I'm not sure he didn't drown and I guess the bugs in the water didn't kill him.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

That really limits the kinds of strokes you can do.

[Tom]

Yeah, I think dog paddling thing. Are you going to learn, are you going to learn how to drive?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I don't know, I listen, I'm very scared of technology taking over, but I'll tell you, one piece of technology I did like was the self driving cars. That felt good.

[Tom]

Does your girlfriend drive?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

No. We both have licenses and the fact that we do is an indictment of the license system in America because we absolutely should not. And she was gonna learn, but she said, if I learn and you don't, then I'm gonna be your chauffeur. So we're kind of at a stalemate of not growing as people because we know the other will exploit it. That's love, baby. That is love. That ain't love.

[Tom]

John, Marco, do either of you cook?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

She's a tremendous cook. I, I, I think, listen, I tried, I listen, I could do an omelette, I can do an omelet, I can feed myself. And at the beginning of 2020, you know, I was like, okay, I have all this time, I'm going to learn how to cook. If you didn't use that time to learn the skill, you always thought you were going to, you're never going to. And you just have to accept that as a human being. I know for a fact now, if I had all the time in the world, I would do nothing with it. That's, you know, that changes something in your perspective. But I'm trying to live with what I am.

[Tom]

I love hack premises. One of my favorite hack premises is when a guy comes out and he goes, yeah, my mother was Italian, my father was Jewish. And then they come out with like, you know, we had spaghetti and matzo balls. I just love those. I love taking those and seeing if I can possibly make them funny. Do you, do you ever do any of those mixed heritage things?

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

It's no. I feel like when you put in like chat cbt, when people go like catchy beauty can write comedy and they put that in, that's the first thing it pulls to. I'm trying to think if I've ever had like in the beginning. It's like in the beginning is when I would have had those jokes. And I kind of think the other.

[Tom]

Hack premise is always New York versus la, which is what made me think of it driving versus not driving.

[Christopher]

What do you think of this one? I'm half Italian and half Jewish. I'm the only Italian person who doesn't offer seconds.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I like that.

[Christopher]

Okay.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I like that.

[Christopher]

The lack of laughter told me, no.

[Tom]

No.

[Christopher]

From you, from the room.

[Tom]

If he had all the time in the world, he wouldn't have left. We went into analyst mode, I think is what. Very polite man.

[Christopher]

Right.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Because it was a scientist. They said, I could see that. I could see some people laughing at that. They've never heard a joke before.

[Tom]

They were all a desert.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Mine were terrible. I'm trying to think. In the beginning, I was like, my name's John Marcos Raisi. I sound like. I used to say. I sound like if J.K. rowling had invented an Italian wizard or. I said, jamarcus Heresy. But I'm. I said, a matzah pizza. That's what you know. Matzah pizza is what they call Italian juice. But I said, I'm not really that Italian, so I'm more like a matzo with a little bit of ragu. Something like that.

[Christopher]

I don't care for it.

[Tom]

I like them both.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

Oh, good, good.

[Tom]

I really like the first one. J.K. rattlinger. That's a great joke. I love that. Gian Marco.

[Gianmarco Ceresi]

I have a breadstick. I go spicy meatball. I know your speed.

[Tom]

Oh, yeah, that's right. Like I said, I love the hack premise stuff. I don't know why. Just taking an old idea and making it new. Gian Markle, what a great pleasure. And it's Thief of Joy, so all you gotta do is type that in. You'll end up with a great special something to do this weekend.

[Christopher]

It's really wonderful, man.
