1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Chinny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.919
comedy news. Jimmy Fallon joked a lot can change in

3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.000
a month. Right now, Kamala's campaign HQ is buzzing, while

4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.600
Biden's have been turned into a spirit Halloween. I Know

5
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.600
about You. I took the whole week off. Adam Sandler's

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:23.640
got a new special on Tuesday. I am basing my

7
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.920
whole life around this one. People magazine caught up with

8
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.000
Adam Sandler's family. They were at the New York City

9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.039
premiere of the big Netflix special Adam Sandler Love You

10
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.119
That's out on Tuesday. Adam Sandler, now fifty seven years old,

11
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.039
revealed that his daughter, Sadie and Sonny some of Hollywoods

12
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.159
up and coming actresses. They've been in several movies now.

13
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.320
They've encouraged Adam Sandler to take his health seriously. Adam

14
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:45.960
Sandler says, they always look out for me, and my

15
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.280
health is just like I used to do with my dad.

16
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:49.880
You go, man, I want this guy around. So I

17
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:51.600
used to scream up my dad to quit smoking, and

18
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.320
my kids scream at me to just calm down and

19
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.240
try to eat a little more like a normal person.

20
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.719
I used to take working out so serious, and now

21
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.479
I can't effing do it. I play hoop and then

22
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.119
I eat. Every time a meeting, I go, what are

23
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.560
you doing? Man? You don't need to do this. I

24
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.840
can't stop. I just got a little bit of thickness

25
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.879
all over my kids. One daughter, Sadie, one of Hollywood's

26
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.120
up and coming actresses, is always saying dead, get the

27
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.519
trainer from the Zohan. Why would you ever give that up?

28
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.239
Why did you stop? He told his daughter. It's a

29
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.599
lot of work. However, on Gossip Corner, Adam Sandler was

30
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.519
spotted in New York City playing basketball. TMZ reports that

31
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.079
Sandler played a quick game of pickup with some other

32
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.079
guys hanging around the area, most of whom look a

33
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.439
great deal younger than the Sandman. TMZ ads that Sailor's

34
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.000
not risking the injury, though he spent some time stretching

35
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.920
before he got out on the floor and showed the

36
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.079
kids whose boss. Sailor was wearing basketball shorts and a

37
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.599
Hawaiian shirt. That's an outfit I might wear to a

38
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.200
Jimmy Buffett concert. Not sure it's a basketball appropriate attire.

39
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.920
You know it was in a lot of Adam Sailor

40
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.439
movies is Rob Schneider, who told the Hollywood Reporter the

41
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.480
thing about free speech is free speech is all speech.

42
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.599
Free speech isn't for the nice stuff. It isn't for

43
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.239
the socially acceptable stuff. Free speech is the speech that

44
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.400
challenges you. Free speech is not nice stuff. Easy speech

45
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.640
or speech that's acceptable to everybody doesn't need any protection.

46
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.959
I'm there to challenge the audience. People get upset about

47
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.280
things now, and that's okay. I think the more challenging

48
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.360
the comedy is and society is, the more interesting the

49
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.080
stand up and art is going to be. Time out,

50
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.479
Rob Schneider, you know who You're in an Adam Sandler movie, right, Yes, Okay,

51
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.800
when everything's smooth, art is boring. So the nineties could

52
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.759
have been kind of boring. But it's a good time now,

53
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.080
and it's a challenging time. It's good to see the

54
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.319
art being pushed with such great films like Jack and

55
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.240
Jill and Hup, Halloween I and Sandler. Schneider, you guys

56
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.879
are pushing the edge and sticking up for free speech.

57
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.439
I appreciate you. Hey, great news just for laughs. Montreal

58
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.159
is back. I hope to see you up in Montreal.

59
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.639
Extra line, we can have a beverage and some pouteen

60
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.120
comida ha. Did we settle this? Somebody told me on

61
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.319
the side how to say it kamida ha comedy ha.

62
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.360
Those guys, the new owners have Just for Laughs have

63
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.120
announced several upcoming festival dates. This is great. Just for

64
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.919
Laugh Sydney is back one of these years. I'm going

65
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.199
to go there and expense it on the podcast, but

66
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.360
it won't be this year unless somebody else pays for it.

67
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.800
November eighteenth through the twenty third, Just for Laugh Sydney

68
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.840
will feature Trevor Noah, Eric Idol, Brad Williams, and the

69
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.000
All Star Gala hosted by Melanie Bracewell and many many

70
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.120
more Just for Laughs. Bermuda, Hm, that would be a

71
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.479
good one for Johnnie Mack. I've got remote equipment. January

72
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.479
twenty second through the twenty fourth. Just for Last Vancouver

73
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.240
in February of twenty five, no specifics yet, and the

74
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.800
big News JFL Montreal July sixteenth through the twenty seventh.

75
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.719
Nick Brazio is the head of programming for Just for

76
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.120
Laughs and said programming these festivals is an exciting opportunity

77
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.159
to innovate while staying true to the core of what

78
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.840
is made just for laugh so special. Over four decades,

79
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.800
we focused on curating a diverse mix of established names

80
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.439
and emerging talent to platform and celebrate comedy's best. I'm

81
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.639
looking forward to that one. Michael Chay and Colin Joster

82
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.560
are up to a few things, and o'ha is working

83
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.680
on a pilot for a late night show. Tell you

84
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.800
about that one. On Tuesday, Chay wrote on Instagram, me

85
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.759
and Jost doing a live show on Peacock. It's gonna

86
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.879
be no that's what we should call it, but nobody

87
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.439
listens to me. They're hosting a live stand up show

88
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.000
on Peacock on September twelfth. We are not getting paid.

89
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.759
It just wanted to do it. Mike Birbiglia had a

90
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.560
fundraiser in Los Angeles Forbiggs and Friends, raised nearly twenty

91
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.560
thousand dollars for the YMCA of Greater Los Angeles. Joining Burbiggs,

92
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.639
We're Judd Appatown, Nick Kroll, Larry Wilmore, otsko At Kotzka

93
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.360
and Billy Strings had a little bit of TV time

94
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.839
and punched in the Netflix checked out Langston Kerman and

95
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.199
Chad Daniels. I started with Langston Special. I had him

96
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.480
as a guest about a year and change ago on

97
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.800
this very podcast, and you know, enjoyed him and the

98
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.439
special was I it was just on. It was one

99
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.000
of those where it's fine, it's not annoying, it's not hilarious.

100
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.160
I'm playing on my phone, I'm distracted, and I was like,

101
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.720
I want to watch something else, So I bailed on it.

102
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.360
That will not make the End of the Year list.

103
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.600
It's by no means bad, much much better. Chad Daniels

104
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.199
on Netflix finally got around with that one that has

105
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.720
made my End of the Year list, and it's in

106
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.839
the top t So I kind of have two tiers

107
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.800
on the list as it's developing, or I guess three tiers.

108
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.240
So there's Tier one, which is Roast, Tom Brady at

109
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.439
Tel Triumph cross A Domian, Dusty Slay, Kyle Kanine, Matt Rife, Sammurrel,

110
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.079
Dimitri Martin, Jimmy car and Chad Daniels. Those are your

111
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.319
top twelve. Then there's like a gap to Kat Williams, Hannagatsby, Connor, O'Malley,

112
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:24.399
Brian Simpson, Tig Nataro Taylor Thompson, Rachel Feinstein and Joe Rogan,

113
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.079
and then I have a whole bunch of things that

114
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.040
are just in a section called not on the List,

115
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.279
and I'll tell you about those in December because there's

116
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.759
no reason to pound on them. But Chad Daniels special

117
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.839
very very funny and very strong closer, was very impressed

118
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:40.800
by them. Chad Daniels, you may know, is in a

119
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.319
relationship with Kelsey Cook, who's at the Great Outdoors Spokanne

120
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.720
Comedy Festival this weekend, and she discussed being an opener

121
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.199
versus a headliner, and Kelsey says, I feel like you

122
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.160
want to keep in mind that you're not necessarily the

123
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.079
person that people are paying to see. You want to

124
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.879
try to set the headliner up for as much success

125
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.240
as possible. There's sometimes a little bit more looseness to

126
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.000
try it and maybe some new material stuff like that.

127
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.519
When you've got a shorter set opening for a headliner,

128
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.839
you really want to lock it in and do your

129
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.040
strongest jokes. She's from Spokane so can do some local

130
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.480
material and says, obviously, if I try to joke about

131
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.800
the garbage goat in Milwaukee, people have no idea what

132
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.279
I'm talking about. I shared with you the other day

133
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.279
eric Andre's Instagram message. It did not go over well

134
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.680
with the Australians. You may recall, eric Andre shared a

135
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.839
story in which he felt he was racially profiled. One commenter,

136
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.639
in response to the video wrote, it happens to everybody

137
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.160
that comes to the country. Don't want to be searched,

138
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.560
don't travel playing the race card. It is a low

139
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.920
blow to people just trying to keep our quarantine laws.

140
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.920
A second person self described as pasty white and said

141
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.519
they've been pulled over randomly multiple times by sniffer dogs

142
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.800
or to get the swab for explosives, adding that it

143
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.120
takes five minutes and it was pretty pathetic to be

144
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.279
making accusations of racism. A third said, what a load

145
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.480
of bs. I've been taken aside twice in the last

146
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.759
three years for exactly the same screening. If it's one

147
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.720
hundred percent racial profiling, then these biosecurity staff are a

148
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.920
bloody color blind. I did some travel last week. I

149
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.120
was at LAX and they pulled my wife out of line.

150
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:02.879
We were the only two people on the entire line,

151
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.199
and they picked her and they did whatever they did

152
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.160
with her phone. They wanted to see her electronics and

153
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.519
we went on our way. A Ukrainian comedian has shared

154
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.240
his disappointment that is Edinburgh a fringe show is attracting

155
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.800
audiences of three or four people, despite it being the

156
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.720
only stand up show that touches on the biggest war

157
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.399
happening in Europe. Dema Watermelon is performing in the forty

158
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.879
person free fringe venue, he told The Independent, and he's

159
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.120
faced several barriers in bringing the show, which sheds light

160
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.399
on the situation in Ukraine, to the festival, including the

161
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.439
challenges which come from being an international performer. He said.

162
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.319
My main frustration lies with the fringe media. I've received

163
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.759
virtually no reviews, the only one coming after I personally

164
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.560
approached the reviewer following his review of another Russian comedian

165
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.279
living in the UK now and handed him a flyer

166
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.759
from my show. I don't understand the low interest. There

167
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.399
are thousands of shows, it's true, but only one touches

168
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.519
on the biggest war happening in Europe right now. Watermelons

169
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.879
told Edinburgh Alive. I've done some terrible shows with small crowds,

170
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.240
some weekday shows with four to five people. Usually it's

171
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.480
around ten to fifteen people. I've had some shows with thirty,

172
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.600
which is good for a forty seed venue. I was

173
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.600
expecting more attention from the press to get into the

174
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.240
UK comedy circuit. It's a good show. I'm frustrated by

175
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.199
the lack of attention. The BBC caught up with some

176
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.839
TikTokers at the Fringe, which ends today. Courtney Buchner told

177
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.399
the BBC all that time posting on TikTok helped me

178
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.439
build my confidence, having that online platform where I could

179
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.680
try things out and feel a little bit safer. Now

180
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.519
I'm ready to say to an audience, I'm opening this

181
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.639
up to you in a live reactions rather than having

182
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.240
reaction in your room, and I don't get to see

183
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.519
it and you might not like it, and I just

184
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.519
swipe by. You do hear things like yeah, they're only

185
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.879
getting by because they're following. My answer to that is

186
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.679
getting in that following took time, patience and talent, and

187
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.559
I'll leave you with this. Titans quarterback Will Levis has

188
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:45.399
a new mayonnaise inspired fragrance. That's right Will Levis. Number

189
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.720
eight has many fragrance notes, including it's art lemon mayonnaise, Accord,

190
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:54.360
Parsley coffee, undertones musk and creamy vanilla. It's a collaboration

191
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.279
with helmans A. Bottle goes for eight dollars. That's sold out,

192
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.960
but they're planning on making more. That is your comedy

193
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.240
news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a

194
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.440
friend about it. They might like it too, you know,

195
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:05.399
see you tomorrow.
