00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.039
Callaroga Shark Media. I haven't used
the late bot in a while, but
2
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.960
it has gotten much better. Hello
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news from
3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.480
late Bot. Have you heard Donald
Trump is launching his own line if Sneakers.
4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.920
They're designed to get over any obstacle, unless that obstacle is releasing your
5
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.320
tax returns. That is a solid
joke. AI. The sneakers are said
6
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.359
to me incredibly durable. They claim
to withstand impeachment processes, subpoenas, and
7
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.119
even the occasional capitol riot. The
sneakers are designed for those who love to
8
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.320
run, run for office, run
away from tax auditors, or run towards
9
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.520
Twitter. Congratulations to Adam Sandler,
winner of the Icon Award at the People's
10
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.399
Choice Awards. I'm gonna play a
clip for you. I had to cut
11
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.479
it down a couple of reasons.
One, it took Adam a long time
12
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.000
to get to the stage. The
person you hear speaking with him is Jennifer
13
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.679
Aniston, and I've shared this clip
in the Facebook group, which is Daily
14
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:59.960
Comedy News podcast group. As this
goes on and on and on and on
15
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.920
and on and on, Aniston is
basically making the face that I would were
16
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.879
I hosting the People's Choice Awards.
She's just like, what is happening?
17
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:14.239
It's hilarious. Sandler's not hilarious.
Addison's face is hilarious. The audience rolls
18
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.280
with it. So I'm gonna play
a clip here and then I'll cut it
19
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.239
off and I'll tell you why,
Aniston, I love you so much,
20
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.239
and she and I know you don't
love doing stuff like this, and you're
21
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.680
coming You're okay. Thanks, I
do too. You were fantastic. Sorry
22
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.799
for coming up early. I got
nervous too. This is this is going
23
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.000
to be a little humiliating. So
what happened was all right. I know
24
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.159
you should prepare a speech for a
big night like this. I had one
25
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.439
prepared on Force. So when my
agent called me and said I won the
26
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:52.120
People's Choice Icon Award, I was
driving. I had him on speakerphone and
27
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.280
I was also eating frosted flakes,
and I didn't hear I think I misheard
28
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.680
him. I thought he said,
I congratulations, Adam, you won the
29
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:12.039
People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive. So
anyways, I wrote a speech for that,
30
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.159
and I don't have one prepared for
the Icon thing, but I'm gonna
31
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.599
do the speech I wrote, and
because they said I got to talk a
32
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.479
few minutes, So let's get to
it. Hello, ladies and gentlemen,
33
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:31.479
my name is Adam Sandler, and
I am the sexiest man alive. Can
34
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:40.840
I get a hell? Here?
To the People Magazines Academy members of Hotnessing
35
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.319
Sexual Attractiveness, I would like to
say thank you for recognizing me as the
36
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:53.520
man who made our entire country to
horneus this year and was by far the
37
00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:00.000
most talked about person individualm by couples
or thruffles during fantasy role playing slappy time.
38
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:07.560
Can I get another hell? Yea, I am trying to be gracious
39
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.400
People Magazine, but I have to
admit three words keep popping into my head
40
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:24.039
right now about freaking time. So
Sailor then goes for another four minutes explaining
41
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:30.800
what he's going to do in the
bedroom with Missus Sandler and it aired on
42
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.879
TV. But it's a little too
naughty for this podcast. Plus enough Ready
43
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.639
I couldn't make it to the end
of the clip. It was just diminishing
44
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.879
returns. He went for like six
minutes. What are you doing, Adam
45
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.960
Sandler, Icon of the Year,
and be honest with me, did you
46
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.599
find that funny. I know he
does the dumb voice. I know Hollywood's
47
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.639
gonna go along with it unless you're
Joe Koy having your career murdered by Taylor
48
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.960
Swift. But boy, that's just
not funny. I'm sorry, it's not
49
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.080
funny. The People's Choice Awards the
Comedy Movie of the Year nominees were eighty

00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.919

64
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.199
going to say that was Jeremy Allen
White was the Comedic Performance of the Year,
65
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.680
What Are We Doing? Nighttime Talk
Show of the Year Kevin Hart's Heart
66
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.319

Live with Andy Cohen, and the
winner The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
69
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.120
Not gonna give that to Oliver Okay. Host of the Year went to a
70
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.639
bunch of things, but Jimmy Fallon
won for That's My Gem and the Comedy
71
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.360

Want of Sykes, I'm an entertainer, No way, Trevor no is
74
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.439
off the record, Kevin Hart's Reality
Check, Na Sarah Silverman, someone you
75
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.439
Love but the winner Chris Rock selective
outrage. I don't think Chris Rock was
76
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.079
there to accept the award. I
haven't seen anything online. Meanwhile, in
77
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.560
the UK at the BAFTAs, Nick
Mohammad you know him from Ted Lasso.
78
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.079
He was explaining to the audience what
would happen if there's an emergency. The
79
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.040
order of evacuation would be starting with
me, then in order of importance,
80
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:09.000
the Baptist trophies, followed by winners, nominees, publicists, everyone else,
81
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.519
then the influencers. That joke landed
well, and then he went, oh
82
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.519
and the Royals, and then the
cameras got to Prince William who found the
83
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.680
joke funny because it is funny.
And if you want to follow with the
84
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.439
Royals lot being going on lately Harry
and Megan out of a good always fun
85
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.480
follow the podcast Palace Intrigue, where
you get your shows. Sam Morrill mixing
86
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.079
it up, taking a shot at
Steven A. Smith and I'm all for
87
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.439
it, boy, that'd be a
great war to have. Sam has called
88
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:38.680
out Steven on his Twitter feed.
Dan LeBatard asked Sam about this, and
89
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.000
Sam said, Stephen a is a
curse to the franchise. Stop rooting for
90
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.839
us. I don't want you on
our side. Anytime he calls a game
91
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.199
we lose, go away. How
could ESPN get any worse? Dude?
92
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.120
Replace him with Richard Jefferson or JJ
Reddick or someone who knows what they're talking
93
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.319
about. He apparently also doesn't like
Kenny Smith. On TNT, Sam said
94
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.759
TNTA, I love those guys,
but they won't give the Nicks props.
95
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.360
I know what Kenny Smith is against
New York, being a New York guy,
96
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.279
but get over, dude. We're
here. No one wants us in
97
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.519
the playoffs. We just got to
get healthy cool. Hopefully that starts a
98
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.040
war. DL Hughley said, I
would never go on Club Shaysha. That's
99
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.120
Shannon Sharp's podcast, probably best known
for Kat Williams scorching the entire earth.
100
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:24.800
Delle was caught walking out of a
building by reporters or Papa Rozzi and said,
101
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.439
no, I haven't spoken to Monique. Would he take anything back that
102
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.519
he said about Monique? And he
said not one thing. She said what
103
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.519
she said. I said what I
said. We're grown people. We don't
104
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.639
have to be in the same space. But I think the idea that people
105
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.720
need to reconcile when they're obviously never
going to see things out of eye is
106
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.399
a bit of a fallacy. Fun
Jenny Slate as a special on Amazon Prime.
107
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.920
It'll be out on the twenty third, which I think is Friday,
108
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.680
right in nineteen twenty Yep, Friday. I went to pull a clip.
109
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.839
It takes her too long to set
up the joke to get to laugh,
110
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.720
So you know, I don't like
doing those long clips on this podcast.
111
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.480
She spoke to The New Yorker.
The New Yorker interview is kind of not
112
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:01.600
the best interview ever. Right,
let me leave it at that. But
113
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.040
it opened with Jenny apologizing for her
cold, and she said, I'm embarrassed
114
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.879
about the fluid situation. I found
that after COVID, the sound of fluid
115
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.560
in the nose is a turnof for
many people, which totally makes sense.
116
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.600
So I'm calling out that. I
know that I'm gross. Grub Street falling
117
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.839
around Mosha Casher. Grub Street will
do this. They'll ask somebody to log
118
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.439
what they eat for a week.
I could do that, but it'd be
119
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.439
bored. Here's what I do donut
Shane. Usually a coffee roll, smoothie,
120
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.480
Place smoothie. Sometimes I get a
buffalo wrap, and a lot of
121
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.879
times I don't eat dinner. But
if there's a bag of M and m's,
122
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.960
I've been known to grab a handful
as I walk by. I gotta
123
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.120
start running again, Mosha Casher.
It's told grub Street for change of pace.
124
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.600
I went to eat lunch at the
moynihan Food Hall at Penn Station.
125
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.879
I go with pizza. But I'm
not sure if you know this, but
126
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.039
New York is said to have the
third best pizza in America after Cleveland,
127
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.919
and of course my hometown sunny Los
Angeles. The Napple hit the West.
128
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.759
I buy two slices at Sauce.
The crust is so thin it's reminiscent of
129
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.759
the bread of affliction of my people. I fuld both slices like a real
130
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.840
New York guy. That way,
no one knows I'm a tourist. While
131
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.080
a Poundstone told the Day that she
has regular ping pong parties in the backyard
132
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.120
of her house in Santa Monica.
My daughter and I added up one time
133
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.360
how many times I've done them.
It's now over seventy. She cajoles the
134
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.159
fifty attendees to compete in a ping
pong tournament, and she says, because
135
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.639
of inflation, I've uped the prices
to one hundred dollars instead of fifty.
136
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.360
I have a fantastic antique scoreboard from
a flea market. She says she will
137
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.799
often done a blank name tag when
I get nervous. I can't remember names.
138
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.080
The blank name tag is a great
conversation starter, and it's embarrassing to
139
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.879
ask somebody who's been to my party
seventy times what their name is. Axeost
140
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.759
had asked Josh Connoman or people from
around the country shock that you grew up
141
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.600
in the Boston suburbs, but you
don't act to talk like Bill Burr.
142
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.279
Josh said, people almost always assume
I'm from the midwestern Canada until I start
143
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.720
talking about the Celtics. People associate
the Boston area with a very Walbergian mickismo,
144
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.200
and they tend not to give as
much notice to other folks have come
145
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.320
here with different vibes. What does
he like to eat? In Stone said,
146
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.240
I've gotten a little out of the
loop, but I will say the
147
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.279
Stones was very accommodating of my recent
Stoneham High School reunion, and I always
148
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.279
trying to make time for runn At
and as Takaia when I'm back in town.
149
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.519
Al dot com is in Alabama asked
Dusty Sleigh, Dusty Sligh's your real
150
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.799
name correct? Dusty said, it's
my real name. I mean, some
151
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.679
could argue that my name is a
little different on my government paperwork, but
152
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.519
I've always been called Dusty Sleigh by
my parents and everyone, I think.
153
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.720
He told Neil Brennan his name is
Dustin. Out dot Com said with a
154
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.080
name like that, it seems like
you're predestined to be a wrestler. Dusty
155
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.320
said, well, I grew up
watching wrestling, or wrestling as I called
156
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.840
it. I don't know when I
started calling it wrestling and people stopped calling
157
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.480
it wrestling, yet it happened at
some point in my life. I grew
158
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.000
up watching that. You see all
these pro wrestling promos and all those guys
159
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.039
are talking to me, that's cool
stuff. I grew up listening to country
160
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.159
music. I love country, and
that's where I got a lot of inspiration
161
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.600
from. Merle Haggard is very famous
for doing Workingman's songs. He addressed how
162
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.480
being sober has shaped his comedy,
said, it was just real clarity.
163
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.120
It's some real self control discipline.
I mean that was the thing for me.
164
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.519
With drinking. I never had control. I was still doing comedy.
165
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.279
I was still funny. In fact, I want to composition in Charleston.
166
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.519
As a drinker. But the moment
I stopped drinking, I started being able
167
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.960
to write jokes better and faster,
and I could remember them better, and
168
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.799
just my daily walk was better in
general, because as a drinker, I'm
169
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.679
always kind of pursuing that next beer. But when you eliminate that, then
170
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.919
your pursuit of other things. You
need to find other things to bring you
171
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.559
fulfillment. And I didn't lose as
many friends. Nate Bergatsi's out on tour.
172
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.360
What can we expect to hear?
Nate said, I talk about what
173
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.960
I would have been doing if stand
up didn't work out, stuff about my
174
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.879
wife and my parents getting older every
time. I'm older than I was when
175
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.519
I did the last special. Yes, that is how time works, Nate.
176
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.039
So I talk about where I'm at
at my life and stuff that I'm
177
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.600
going through. It's fun to grow
with your audience, What would you have
178
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.919
done if you didn't do stand up? I was a water meter reader.
179
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.039
I read water meters. I would
have been working for that company. Probably
180
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.159
hopefully by now I would have moved
out of water meter reading and higher up,
181
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.480
But I don't know. Got a
pressure release. Orange Theory fitness and
182
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.360
comedian Hannah Berner have announced Hannah's next
breakout comedy event. It is called wtf
183
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.840
is OTF. On February twenty eighth, Hannah Burner will take the stage for
184
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.759
a roast of the fitness industry and
the many cliches and fads that come along
185
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.360
with it. The event will take
place in New York City. It'll also
186
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.000
livestream on TikTok. Hanna Burner said, this wtf is OTF comedy event is
187
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.200
gonna be epic. Expect laughs,
roasts, and maybe a little sweat.
188
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.720
I know first an what it's like
to be in a bit of a fitness
189
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.320
limbo, and all the fads swirling
around at the start of the year don't
190
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.399
help. What Orange Theory helped me
to realize is that sweating it out doesn't
191
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.960
have to be too serious, and
this partnership proves that while answering all of
192
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.639
our Biggest Fitness wtfs. I'm actually
planning on hitting the exercise bike right after
193
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.840
I finished this recording. I'll do
the edits later, hoping to do a
194
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:43.360
forty five minute on Apple Fitness Plus. From Deadline Bossom, Yusef claims he
195
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.519
lost a role in James Gunn's Superman
Legacy movie due to his public support of
196
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:52.080
Palestine. During a Piers Morgan segment. Deadline says Usef taped an audition pre
197
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.679
actor strike for the role of Rueman
Harjatti, but by the time gun turned
198
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.840
in his final version, the role
was cut. That was before Yusef was
199
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.240
on Peers Morgan. James Gunn went
on Twitter and said this is accurate,
200
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.399
meaning that the character was cut from
Superman like I say. Before the Peers
201
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.559
Morgan interview last week, Yusef told
Salon I was cast in the movie Superman.
202
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.399
Then they told me we changed the
script after this Peers Morgan interview.
203
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:16.519
I want to assume good faith.
I want to know, I want to
204
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.440
believe it's true. I was a
little bitter and I wanted to go okay,
205
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.679
screw DC, screwed Warner Brothers.
But then I understand the emotional burden
206
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.200
that those people have. I mean, those people have a connection with Israel.
207
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.000
I understand. Maybe the people who
were in charge took that decision,
208
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.080
looked at me and didn't want to
have me. And maybe I understand.
209
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.759
If I'm an Arab Muslim, I
was the head of Warner Brothers, I
210
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.600
wouldn't want a pro Zionist or a
pro Israel to be in my movie.
211
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.639
If he attacked people, I understand. This is the thing we need to
212
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.279
dissect. When I attack Israel,
I attack its policy. I'm not attacking
213
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.559
Jewish people. A source close to
the situation tells Deadline this is probably a
214
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.639
case of he said, he said, who knows. If you want a
215
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.120
new special to watch today, this
one on OTT You can rent this one.
216
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.639
It is Mary Basmajian's funny Armenian girl. Mary's living that old USA Network
217
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:05.200
motto characters welcome, specifically the outspoken
Bartouche. Her take on the quintessential Armenian
218
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.519
aunt. Bartousche is a large part
of how Mary grew her online following.
219
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.159
So we'll naturally make an appearance on
the special alongside more conventional stand up about
220
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.120
online dating and Bonnie image. And
that is your comedy news for today.
221
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.080
Check out five Good News Stories.

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.159

224
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.039
