00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.960
Calorroga shark media.

2
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.439
Man, Johnny Mack, you think you could do something a

3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:14.199
little up beat the back half of Thursday's podcast where

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.160
you talked about Jerry Lewis Film of the Day, the

5
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.719
Clown Cried, and the Nazi stuff in there. That was

6
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.440
a little heavy. Johnny Mack, What are you doing, hey, listener?

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.600
You think you got a bad I'm recording Thursday and

8
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.600
Friday back to back because I got some stuff going

9
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.280
on in my life and I had a pre tape.

10
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.480
I just told that story in my world ninety seconds ago.

11
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.039
I'm still feeling it. But it is hot take time.

12
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.520
Here's a hot take. I didn't come up with this

13
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.320
hot take, but I will read you a hot take.

14
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.240
The hot take is Joe Rogan is too powerful in

15
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.000
the comedy world, oh know. Chris Beck wrote for Splice

16
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.520
Today the lead off sentence the comedians he promotes or

17
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.200
as annoying as a midnight car alarm. Oh wow, Okay,

18
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.399
so we're gonna come for Joe Rogan here, let's see

19
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.960
what Chris Beck has to say. In January, comedian Kat

20
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.240
Williams start up the comedy world blah blah blah for

21
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.320
some truth telling Joe got six comedians that have never

22
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.359
been funny that he just wants to push out, said

23
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.280
Kat Williams. Williams didn't identify the comedians. Chris Beck has

24
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.640
speculated that those comedians are Brendan Schaub, Bert Krescher, Tom Sigora,

25
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.879
Andrew Schultz, Ari Shafir, and Brian Callen. Beck writes, Brendan

26
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.840
Shab has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience ninety one times. Still,

27
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.879
he's merely a filler guest who gets the call so

28
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.359
often because he's Rogan's buddy, and Rogan's loyal to his pals.

29
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.280
However uninteresting that may be, you don't tell him out.

30
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.640
Mike from The Letterman Podcast and I we've been talking

31
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.680
about doing something semi regular, and it's not like, oh,

32
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.319
I have nothing to talk about, let me just bug

33
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.480
Mike from the Letterman Podcast. We just really get along

34
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.599
and like talking about stuff. The only reason we haven't

35
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.760
done it yet is because of scheduling. But like, I

36
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.319
have no problem with Joe Rogan going here's a reliable

37
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.239
guest that I like talking to. That's what you do,

38
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.640
Chris Beck writes, Shab's comedy special Gringo Poppy, filmed in Dallas.

39
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:52.920
I have not seen. It is the least funny event

40
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.040
who happened in that town since the Kennedy assassination. Rogan

41
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.760
won't even let Shop appear at the Mothership. Bert Kreischer,

42
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.000
with thirty seven Joe Rogan Experience appearances, is another member

43
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.760
of Rogan's goon squad, although unlike Shop, he's had financial

44
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.000
success as a comedian. He had an adventure show on

45
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.400
the Travel Channel and a low rated comedy special on Showtime.

46
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:12.879
When Rogan called him up and told him to quit

47
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:14.800
TV because he was a storyteller he should be telling

48
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.400
stories on stage. Yeah, wasn't that pretty good advice? Hey

49
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.879
Bert Kraser, you know that story you have about the machine,

50
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.520
it's a good story. You should tell it. That's great

51
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:27.639
advice from Joe Rogan to made the dude's career. And

52
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.319
it's a good bit and the movie was fine. Kreischer's

53
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.639
signature move is to take a shirt off, exposing his

54
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.800
obast torso he does this during his act and even

55
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.159
while sitting on a couch on a podcast. Why it's

56
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.159
a look at me move from a guy who graves attention.

57
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.520
Like all of Rogan's squad does. Dude, do you think

58
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:49.039
there's a single stand up comedian who doesn't crave attention? Well,

59
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.680
that's why they're up there. I will work with a

60
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.439
lot of comedians. They're all at least a little crazy.

61
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.840
When Krascher appeared on Tony Hinchcliff's popular comedy show Killed Toun,

62
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.199
New York comic Jim Norton cracked a funny ed lib.

63
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.360
Instead of letting Norton take all the well deserved applause

64
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.039
for the audience, Chraysier Adopta's shirt so we could get

65
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.840
in on the action. Dude, come on man, all right, continuing,

66
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:15.280
Tom Sagora has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience forty

67
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.400
one times. He was funny when he was chubby, but

68
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.360
after he hired a personal trainer and buffed up, the

69
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.680
laugh started to go away. Of his xs pounds. All right,

70
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.080
So Burt Kreischer is too fat. Tom Sagora is too fit.

71
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.360
His act is now like listening to your boring friend

72
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.360
who won't stop talking about the funny things his kids do.

73
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:35.439
It's the laziest form of comedy. No, it's not the

74
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.560
laziest form of comedy. The laziest form of comedy is

75
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.240
just getting up and saying something vulgar for vulgar's sake.

76
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.479
I used to illustrate this and teach her to my

77
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.080
college classes, and I used to just out of nowhere

78
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.960
go and then I punched her in the place you

79
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.120
probably shouldn't punch a woman. Dave Chappelle has used a

80
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.879
similar joke. I heard Chappelle do it after I pointed

81
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.199
this out. Anyway, when I used to randomly say and

82
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.560
then I punched her in and I would get laughs,

83
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.000
and then I would point out to this class, I

84
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.439
didn't even tell a joke there. That's the laziest form

85
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.080
of comedy. And again I'm not a comedian. I'm just illustrating.

86
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.599
I could say something really vulgar or really outrateous and

87
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.080
get a chuckle out of you. It doesn't make for

88
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.319
good comedy. Actually, the article last year, when I had

89
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.480
an airport employee made Tom Sigora check his bag. He

90
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.000
had a two day meltdown, beginning with his tweet dumb

91
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.040
seaword from airlines made me geet check my bag so

92
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:25.839
she can feel little power that she has in her life.

93
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.600
I get it. You win this round, Seaword when this

94
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.360
repulsive prima doma like Range elicited a bunch of negative

95
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.360
responses from his fans. Sigura duck deeper, tweeting all the

96
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.279
pores and losers have the same response, Oh you were inconvenience,

97
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.639
Well you should accept it. Sigor has let his money

98
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.360
go to his head. Continuing the article, Andrew Schultz is

99
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.000
another Rogan regular who got some fame began to buy

100
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.279
the hype. Schltz is annoying before he opens his mouth

101
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.000
because of the bizarre Hitler esque haircut he's sported lately. Okay,

102
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.319
so now we're going to judge people on their looks.

103
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.399
Maybe you don't like his stylized haircut doesn't mean he's

104
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.439
not funny. It's the equivalent of Bert Kreischer's gross shirtless

105
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.839
look as an attention grabbing device. I almost lipp in

106
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.480
a triumph there again. Should I do that bit again?

107
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.199
Schultz once charged his fans for his latest comedy special

108
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.199
and then put it on Netflix a month later. That

109
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.959
happens a lot. Dude. Brian Kallen has appeared on The

110
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.319
Joe Rowan Experience eighty six times. Callen's not as annoying

111
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.839
as the rest of Rogan's boys, but he's hardly worth mentioning.

112
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.279
He's made four comedy specials but hasn't been able to

113
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.639
sell any to a streaming service. Or Shaffer has sixty

114
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.199
seven Joe Rogan experience appearances. We have to behave, but

115
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.319
when it appears, I'm killed. Tony He's known for pulling

116
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.600
his testicles out. He's violent too. Comedian Bobby Lee once

117
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.120
invited some of his mat TV buddies to LA's Comedy

118
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.439
Store for a set. Shafiro's girlfriend was there, met with

119
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.360
one of Lee's friends, and was soon dating him. Shafir

120
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.000
blamed Lee and physically assaulted him on three different occasions.

121
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.079
I've never heard that story. I've in fact checked it,

122
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.959
but one should not physically assault anyone. Now. I have

123
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:52.199
googled here Shaffir assault Lee, and there are several youtubes,

124
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:56.279
TikTok's reddits, nothing from anything that I would consider a

125
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.639
major news source. So I just want to throw that

126
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.079
out there. I don't know what's true or not. Again,

127
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.199
I am reading from an article in Splice Today under

128
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.680
the headline Joe Rogan is too powerful in the comedy world.

129
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.319
Shaffir's comic Cretch is trying to be edgy even though

130
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.120
he's fifty. Can you not be edgie at fifty? George

131
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.680
Carlin was pretty edgy. On the day of Kobe Brian's death,

132
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.279
Shafir wrote on Twitter, Kobe Bryant died twenty three years

133
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:18.800
too late. Today he got away with rape because of

134
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.000
all the Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for

135
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.720
the Lakers more than they dislike rape. I hate the Lakers.

136
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.319
What a great day. That caused an Internet firestorm about

137
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.240
a bad joke, but there's no joke there. It's a

138
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:33.199
straight troll, reasonably fair. There are some aspects to Kobe

139
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.199
Bryant's biography then I'm not going to litigate here, but

140
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.000
on that particular day, that did feel a little too soon.

141
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.000
I remember that day anyway. Interesting article there in a

142
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:46.160
Joe Rogan hot take. My take, Joe Rogan has been

143
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.959
very good for stand up comedy. Comedy comes in many forms.

144
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.600
You might like the Austin scene. You might like the

145
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.959
New York brick walls smoking cigarette guys. You might like

146
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.879
the La All scene. It's all good. Dean Cole's got

147
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.480
a new special coming to Netflix. It is called Okay Mister.

148
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.480
In it Dean Cole recalls the telltale signs of aging,

149
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.759
bedroom mishaps, at dating deal breakers and more. Let's listen

150
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.959
to a bit of the trailer. I'm cutting a little

151
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.279
bit early here. He's got one more punch line after

152
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.240
I cut. But it's a little naughty when.

153
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.839
Black people cheet, like we dip off with somebody else.

154
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:24.480
You know, we'd like to go to white establishments because

155
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.040
we know ain't no black people there to see us.

156
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.040
I was with this girl one day. She was like,

157
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.160
why you got me at this medieval castle?

158
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.279
Dean Cole. Okay, mister, filmed back in May in La.

159
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.639
Part of the Netflix is a joke festival. Okay, mister.

160
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.639
On Netflix September seventeenth. I've mentioned this before, but they're

161
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.839
bringing back Chris Rocks. Everybody still Hates Chris. This time

162
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.199
it's animated. It will be on Comedy Central. We now

163
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.920
have a date September twenty fifth at ten pm. I

164
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.199
have no idea why we're making this. Love You Chris Rock,

165
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:00.240
but I don't think anybody really cared about the the

166
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.120
first time. But now it's an animated series. Okay, fine,

167
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.800
in Everybody still hates Chris Chris Rock narrates stories inspired

168
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.120
by his experience growing up as a skinny nerd, you know,

169
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.759
working class family in Betstye, Brooklyn during the eighties. Terry

170
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:16.199
Crews plays dad. Tim Johnson Junior plays young Chris, a

171
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.120
nerd who wants to be cool, but he's outshined by

172
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.519
his younger brother, tortured by his little sister, and foiled

173
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.160
by his cheapskate dad. All right, let's do some political

174
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:26.240
stuff from both sides. Kamil nan Gianni says he's been

175
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.600
in touch with the Harris Walls campaign about getting involved

176
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.279
with the election. Kamal says, I'm gonna make videos to

177
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.720
get people to register to vote. I might make some

178
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.320
appearances later. I think it's really important everybody registered to

179
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.399
vote and everybody does vote. Whoever you vote for, that's

180
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.720
on you. But you gotta vote. Please register to vote.

181
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.720
Camille says it's really unbelievable how I was feeling a

182
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.200
month and a half ago and how I'm feeling now.

183
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.200
It's really inspiring. This has given me faith in humanity.

184
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.200
I just feel lighter and happier. I'm gonna say I'm

185
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.000
fighting to stay hopeful and not get too optimistic or confident.

186
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.399
There's still a lot of work to do. Tim Dillon

187
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.480
made a lot of fun of Kamala Harris on his podcast.

188
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.559
Tim said, Kamala Harris is running on I'm not even

189
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.159
kidding the word joy Joy be happy. There's nothing to

190
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.159
do with healthcare. She said. We're going to stop the

191
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.399
food from being expensive, fatty, You're gonna be able to

192
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.960
eat for less. That's what Kamalo's platform is. She wants

193
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.159
to put price controls on the food or platform. Right now,

194
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.320
the only policy we know about is essentially a sign

195
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.120
in a Vegas restaurant eat for less. That's all she said.

196
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.159
She's gonna let these fatty boom patties into the grocery store.

197
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.200
From the Moscow Times, they will have a new show

198
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:27.039
about Joe Biden. This one is called Goodbye. In Goodbye,

199
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.440
the character Joe Biden travels to Russia incognito to find

200
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.399
out why his sanctions aren't working against Russians. During the visit,

201
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.399
Joe Biden loses his passport and finds himself trapped in Russia.

202
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.320
He's then forced to live in a Soviet era apartment

203
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.320
block and work as an English teacher to save money

204
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.720
so he can buy a new passport for his return home. Meanwhile,

205
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.799
CIA agents whisk away retan pensioner Ivanovich, who looks just

206
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.480
like Biden to the United States. Yes, it's a body

207
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.360
swap comedy. It won't be out until twenty twenty five.

208
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.320
Though that's too late, guys. No one's gonna care about

209
00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.919
this a year. You got to get this out next week.

210
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.279
Russian actor Dmitri Jusef, who's best known for his role

211
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.360
as Cosmos in the hit gangster series Brigata, We'll play

212
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.080
Joe Biden. Photos taken during the production show Dmitri dressed

213
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.679
up in a silver gray wig and wearing pearly white genters.

214
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.720
He was quoted in the press release of saying, I'm

215
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.360
really curious to see what will come of our bold

216
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.480
experiment and whether the audience will be able to recognize

217
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.360
me and Biden and Biden and me. Nevertheless, I can

218
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.120
guarantee it will be a kind, lifelike and funny story.

219
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.879
And that is your comedy news for today. This weekend

220
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.159
will be normal episodes. I've got plenty of been working

221
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.200
on it for some time. You know. I hate producers

222
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.320
that wake up and go, oh my god, it's labor day. Weekend,

223
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.000
