00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Seoannie Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.439
Happy tax day, boy, aren't
you excited? Some jokes from Late Night

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:20.679
not about taxes, but Jimmy Kimmel
said President Biden condemned that decision in Arizona.

4
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.280
He said he wasn't in favor of
the law when they passed it back

5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.519
in eighteen sixty four, and he's
not a fan of it now. I

6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.600
love that kind of joke because it's
not really about Biden. It's just a

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.560
generic old man joke. But it's
so funny. Kimmell again. The porn

8
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.799
star hush money trial starts Monday.
That's today, and with all Trump's many

9
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.200
last minute efforts to delay have failed, his only move left is to have

10
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.640
sex with everyone in the courtroom and
pay them one hundred and thirty thousand dollars

11
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.719
to keep their mouth shut. Jimmy
Kimble for a third one. The Biden

12
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.679
campaign launched a new program to engage
voters in the LGBTQ loss of community.

13
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.359
It's called Out for Biden Harris,
which is a collign title, but definitely

14
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:07.680
better than their original slogan, which
was I'm a joemo sexual Now have you

15
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.719
heard I'm not doing the voice,
but have you heard the Norm MacDonald cadence

16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.159
As I took all those pauses.
I don't know if you noticed it.

17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.599
Hit thirty second? What's not whatever? The opposite of skip is go back

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.159
thirty seconds listen to where I took
the pauses again. I'm not doing that

19
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.920
deliberately, but I've been listening to
so much of Norm doing OJ Simpson jokes

20
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.879
that that kind of pattern is in
my head and I keep coming back to.

21
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.920
I shared this joke on Friday,
but I'm gonna do it again in

22
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.439
my half assed Norm McDonald impression because
I feel like if Norm was still around,

23
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.560
this is the joke we would have
gotten. This is from comedian Robert

24
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.000
Burrell. He tweeted this, I've
already told you this, but I'll do

25
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.079
it in half assed Norm this time. O. J. Simpson's family announced

26
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.239
he died of cancer. Cancer,
on the other hand, has begun looking

27
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.040
for the real killer where it was
so funny. Here's another one from Jimmy

28
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.599
Fallon. But again, I'm stuck
in this Norm cadence. I'll do it

29
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:06.439
in half ass Norm again. Baseball
Superstar Show. Hey Otani's ex interpreter has

30
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.719
been charged with allegedly stealing over sixteen
million dollars from Otani in a gambling scheme

31
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.919
or as the interpreter told Otani.
They're saying, I'm innocent. I may

32
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.639
have told that one better than Fallon. I don't know, should I find

33
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.319
that joke? Let's see if I
told it better than Fallon. I'm hitting

34
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.319
pause. I'm going digging for that
joke. Okay, I found it.

35
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.840
Well, listen to this. The
Justice Department announced that Baseball Superstar Show Hey,

36
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:37.680
Otani's ex interpreter has been charged for
allegedly stealing over sixteen million dollars from

37
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.879
Otani in a gambling scheme, or
as the interpreter told Otani. They're saying,

38
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:52.719
I'm innocent. You tell me.
I think me as Norm was funnier

39
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:57.120
than Fallon as Fallon. Maybe I'm
delusionable. Hollywood Reporter did a cover story

40
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.599
with Conan O'Brien and they got to
it. Conan. There was talk about

41
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.400
a weekly variety show. You know, Conan's doing this travel thing. He

42
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.080
was all over the press last week. Conan said that whole thing cracked me

43
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.039
up. When we were wrapping up
the TBS show, there was a pre

44
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.000
existing agreement that we would continue on
at Max HBO Max then and then I'd

45
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.280
figure that port out. When it
came out that I was going to be

46
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.599
doing a comedy variety show, we
didn't know where that came from. It

47
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.159
turned out that someone in the press
department had just said something like, ah,

48
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.719
yeah, that's this category for US
variety. Suddenly I'm getting contacted by

49
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.400
jugglers or writers are calling me up
saying, are you gonna be like Dean

50
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.400
Martin? No, I was never
going to be the seventy fifth person to

51
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.159
try and bring back the hour long
variety show and have it not work.

52
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.520
See. I think he would be
great at that because the acts would be

53
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.439
terrible and he would make it funny. Conan, what do you miss most

54
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.759
about the nightly gig? Conan said, I missed that band terribly, the

55
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.599
way you miss a lost limb.
I'm an amateur guitarist, and I got

56
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:46.680
to play with those guys every day. I got to the point where they

57
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.000
had a hard time getting me to
rehearse the comedy. I swear to God,

58
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.680
if somebody got me a job as
a rhythm player and some rockabilly R

59
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.360
and B band, I might disappear. What does he miss the least,

60
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.800
the volume, the over and over
again with multiple guests tonight, and making

61
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.280
sure they've plugged their project. These
shows exist because they're promotional machines. I

62
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.520
always understood that my goal was to
make it as creative as possible with everything

63
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.039
else. But over thirty years,
he gets to a point where the oil

64
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.479
doesn't get to certain parts of the
machine. I started to burn out a

65
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.439
little bit. One of the things
I love about the podcast is that most

66
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.439
people don't come on to promote.
They asked him if he got any advice

67
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:18.560
from Howard Stern when he went over
to that place I used to work,

68
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.240
and Conan said, I'd be intimidated
to call Howard. I'm worried that he'd

69
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.600
put me on the air, would
be having a really good conversation that he'd

70
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.160
asked me, when did you lose
your virginity? Conan was also on CNN

71
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.319
a few hours after the news broke
that OJ Simpson had died. That was

72
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.519
a coincidence, Conan said, I
never make a joke about someone the day

73
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.160
they passed. It was a huge
deal back then. Most notably he's passed

74
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.920
on, but Norm MacDonald one of
my best guests of all time in one

75
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.519
of the great comedians of all time. He did the most brilliant comedy of

76
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.480
anybody during that period. Tapper asked
about the reports that norm acclaimed he was

77
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.680
fired because he frequently mocked OJ Simpson
while hosting a weekend update. Conan said,

78
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.000
yeah, the head of the network
at the time was tight with OJ.

79
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.199
Anyway, water another bridge Conena doing
full on court press was also on

80
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.480
Hot Ones. He made fun of
HBO Max as I sometimes do. He

81
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.920
said, is it HBO Max or
just Max? I can't get used to

82
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.279
it. It's not a better name. I have a show. It's on

83
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.519
Max. They used to call it
HBO, but people found that too popular,

84
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.519
so now it's Max because that really
rolls off the tongue and it's a

85
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.160
funny show. David Letterman in the
news. In a new video on Letterman's

86
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.360
YouTube channel, he said, a
year or two ago, we realized we

87
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.240
had this big hunk of plastic with
the late Show sign on it. He

88
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.399
didn't know what to do with it, so they raffled it off for charity.

89
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.560
Anybody who donated ten dollars a more
to Habitat for Humanity would be entered

90
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.519
to win the twenty foot wide sign. The promotion end up raising one hundred

91
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.519
and sixteen thousand dollars. New Jersey
resident Helen Halford won the sign, but

92
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.600
the real winner turned out to be
your uncle, Preston. Halford learned she

93
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.680
won, and then she realized she
has nowhere to put it twenty foot signs,

94
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.360
so she asked her uncle, who
owns a one hundred and fifty year

95
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.720
old born in Connecticut, if he
had won it. He said yeah.

96
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.560
Letterman said, I will say the
uncle's property here is lovely, and I

97
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.839
feel confident that the sign has found
a lovely new home. Now, I

98
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.160
want you to pay a lot of
attention on this next story. This from

99
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.839
I ninety five Rock. They spoke
to Carlos Mencia. Okay, you ready

100
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.040
pay attention. I'm gonna do each
story twice because I want to make sure

101
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.519
you're paying attention. Carlos Smithcia said, listen, it's been a crazy year.

102
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.360
I've never been busier. All the
kids who were between eight and twelve

103
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.519
when Mind of Mencia came out or
now of age, so they're coming to

104
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.079
see the shows. It's like a
resurgence. It's been amazing Well's comedy right

105
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.000
now needs voices like mine and tell
everybody comedy is meant to be funny.

106
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.439
If you don't get that, get
out of here. Okay, I just

107
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.240
want to recap that story. Carlos
Smiencia says. All the kids who were

108
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.240
between eight and twelve when Mind of
Mencia came out are now of age and

109
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.480
they're coming to see the shows.
You got that, all right? Write

110
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.480
that down. Now, here's the
second story from I ninety five rock.

111
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.720
Wanting to pay attention because I'm gonna
go over this twice, Carlos Smencia said,

112
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.240
bro, And yesterday I got a
phone call from a big hotel in

113
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.839
Vegas who was like, hey,
we want you to do a residency.

114
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.160
Hey, you got that, Carlos
Mencia says. A hotel in Vegas wants

115
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.720
Carlos Mencia to do a residency.
You got that. You wrote that down?

116
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.519
Okay, good, Carlos said.
I'm like, I'm already booked every

117
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.600
weekend. They were like, no, we want you to do Sunday and

118
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.519
Monday and then we'll grow from there. Carlos said. I was like,

119
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.800
man, I don't know that I
could be doing that. That would be

120
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.759
Sunday, Monday, take off,
Tuesday, flyout Wednesday, Thursday through Saturday.

121
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.160
That's a bit much, Bruh.
Listen. I know my name is

122
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.120
Mencia and I'm an immigrant, but
I'm not that much of an immigrant,

123
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.079
bro. I'm not working that all
hard. I've got my papers. You

124
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.639
know what I'm saying. You've got
to give me legal type work. Okay.

125
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.800
Just to want to recap again,
people who watched Mind of Mencia are

126
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.759
like, Oh, now that we're
old enough, let's go see Carlos Mencia

127
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.639
because we loved Mind of Mencia.
And a hotel in Vegas wants Carlos Mencia

128
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.560
to do a residency. Just make
sure you got that right. Carlos addressed

129
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.639
Mencia gate from a million years ago. You may recall Joe Rogan and some

130
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:57.360
others accused Carlos of stealing jokes in
the past. I believe and less undelusional,

131
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.600
he admitted to stealing jokes. I
think he admitted it to me in

132
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.600
the whole way of serious. But
my memory may be getting fuzzy. Carlos

133
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.439
told a ninety five rock or whatever
it was, I wasn't doing what they

134
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.240
said. I wasn't plagiarizing or anything. The interesting thing about that is I

135
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.639
went up on stage while Joe was
on because he said something about me when

136
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.879
he was on stage. So he
said, hey, this next guy opens

137
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.879
up for Carlos Mensteelia. I think
that's what he said. So I went

138
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.439
up on stage and I was like, hey, bro, you keep saying

139
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.800
I steal jokes. What joke did
I ever steal of yours? To be

140
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.879
fair, Carlos Smancy has never stolen
any of my jokes. That is true.

141
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.600
Also, you'd have to ask Rogan
about his. Of course, he

142
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.360
never had an answer for that because
I never stole any jokes from him.

143
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.720
He's never accused me of taking a
joke from him. But I said to

144
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.879
myself, if one person thinks you're
a D word, that's one thing.

145
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.879
If everybody thinks you're a D word, everybody's mad at you for some reason.

146
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.440
So okay. So the defense here
is you never stole a joke from

147
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.440
Joe Rogan, Carlos said, said, so I had to look into myself

148
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.879
and find out what it is that
I was doing to these guys to hurt

149
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.840
their feelings. Basically, when I
found out that is when I was a

150
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.639
kid coming up as a comedian,
we called it paying your You'd have a

151
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.279
spot and you'd get excited, and
then all of a sudden, Robin Williams

152
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.440
came in and bumped you. All
of a sudden, Richard Pryor came in

153
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.960
and bumped you. All of a
sudden, some celebrity Martin Lawrence came in

154
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.759
and bumped you. Dice Clay came
in and bumped you. That's the way

155
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.039
it was. So look, when
you get a TV show, then you

156
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.080
can do that. So I started
working with a guy named Rick Rubin.

157
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.639
I assume it's that Rick Rubin who
told me, you gotta go on the

158
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.120
road, cultivate this, make this
thing yours. You got to go out

159
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.279
and really experience life. I started
doing that and I was gone for about

160
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.879
five years doing the road. By
the time I came back to the comedy

161
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.480
Store and I got Mind of Mencia. For those of that you were younger,

162
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.159
what Mind of Mencia was was Comedy
Central going, oh my god,

163
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.679
Chappelle's not doing another season of Chappelle's
show. What do we got? And

164
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:45.519
they did Mind of Mencia, which
was like the Chappelle Show minus the good

165
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.480
parts, And I got Mineum,
Mansea. Those kids were the participation trophy

166
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.320
kids. I'm really dumping on Cross
the one time, maybe I met him

167
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.600
twice. He was cool. The
new kids where the generation of I don't

168
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.519
want to get hayes to get in
the club. I don't want to have

169
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.159
to pay my dues. I'm on
the schedule ready, Why are you guys

170
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.480
putting someone else on the schedule.
I had to kind of look inside and

171
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.840
go, all right, who am
I? What am I? I heard

172
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:07.320
a lot of people's feelings. Is
what it is to boil it down?

173
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.919
Are we suggesting here that Joe Rogan
and Carlos Mencia are in different generations of

174
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:20.840
comedy? Let's see, Joe Rogan
is fifty six, Carlos Mencia is fifty

175
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.919
six. Okay, now I've gone
to Google and I typed in Carlos Mencia

176
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.200
and I started to type in the
next word. I got as far as

177
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:33.000
ad and it has autocompleted to Carlos
Mencia admits, here's a clip. The

178
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.840
voice you're about to hear is Carlos
Mencia. Let's see what he has to

179
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.399
say about Carlos Mencia stealing jokes.
This is Carlos Mencia discussing whether or not

180
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.879
Carlos Mencia steals jokes. A lot
of people out there are going to ask

181
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.360
why did they interview Carlos about this? You know, Carlos is a joke

182
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.480
thief. Carlos steals jokes, and
we know this. And I listen to

183
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.120
me and look at me when I
tell you this with all honesty. If

184
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.519
you think that I steal jokes,
yeah, you're right, of course,

185
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.919
I'm still jokes. Are you out
of your mind? When I come to

186
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.519
a comedy club, you better run, bitch, you better get off stage,

187
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.240
because if anything you say is even
remotely funny, I'm gonna make it

188
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.759
mine. And all I'm gonna do
is say Mexican in the front. I'm

189
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.840
like a rapper. I just sampled
and make it my own. Was that

190
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.240
really my song? I don't know, but it sounds like mine, but

191
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.399
it kind of sounds like somebody else's. It's a hit, bitch. Here's

192
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.919
Carlos Smincia speaking to Bobby Lee and
Bobby's podcast long clip here, and I'm

193
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.960
going to make some edits, both
for pacing and for language. So how

194
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.759
are you feeling now with all the
controversy that happened a decade ago. I

195
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.360
mean, what's going on fourteen years
ago? Now? Fourteen years ago?

196
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.440
Yeah, I realized, like my
absence from the Internet in all those years

197
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.440
allowed a narrative to be created that
will never change no matter what I do,

198
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.399
no matter what I say, no
matter how I come about it,

199
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.519
of what my perspective is, it
just is the way it is. Like

200
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.600
There's nothing I could do about it, and that is a very difficult thing

201
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.399
to do for somebody who is a
control freak like me. Look, as

202
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.480
you know, I'm always thinking about
if I do this, then that then

203
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.279
one are the ramifications of all this
stuff. So my biggest regret is back

204
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.519
in those days, you know,
when all this stuff happened, was to

205
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.559
fight it, not fight it,
but to like I've recorded all my shows

206
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.799
since nineteen ninety three, I don't
have to fight anybody on anything. If

207
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.759
somebody comes up to me and says, hey, you're doing my joke,

208
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.120
I could easily go, what joke
is it? When did you tell it?

209
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.799
Let me go look, and then
if you did it before me,

210
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.799
I'll stop doing it or whatever.
It is. Like I've always had that,

211
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:50.559
Yeah, but I stayed quiet,
and it just got bigger and bigger

212
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.080
and bigger, and now it's just
like that's what it is. But why

213
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:03.200
not skip it? Ned? Why
not do in the beginning just a blanket

214
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.320
apology? But I wasn't see let
me get this, understand, understand what

215
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.919
happened anytime even to this day,
bro, Yeah, somebody says you stole

216
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.600
a joke? I go, okay, well what joke was it? Not?

217
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.399
Angry? Like what joke? Dude? I write a lot, you

218
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.679
know this, I create a lot
of material, some of your act,

219
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.919
you know, I mean a little
too close to things that have already been

220
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.039
established, Like let's like the Bill
Cosby bit. Yeah, I've never seen

221
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.600
that one, so I know.
By point though, is that it's so

222
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:41.840
similar? Right? Yeah? Yeah
that why not just outwardly say I apologize

223
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.679
and then we could just move on
from it rather than you constantly defended.

224
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.320
But it's not that I'm defending.
See again, it's not that I'm defending.

225
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.879
I just who do I apologize to? Good job, Bobby Lee there.

226
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.240
If you want to seek that one
out, I found that on YouTube.

227
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.200
Let me just tell you what it's
called. Bobby. He confronts Carlosmancy

228
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.080
about stealing jokes and Joe Rogan,
I'll throw it in the Facebook group Daily

229
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.759
Comedy News podcast group Mine. Now
we're getting long, all right? What

230
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.919
else can I tell you about?
South Park? Creators Trey Parker and Matt

231
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.919
Stone are teaming with Kendrick Lamar,
a live action comedy that will hit theaters

232
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.440
July fourth, twenty twenty five.
No details other than Kendrick Lamar and the

233
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.360
date. Well, let's take a
look at the comedy festivals here. On

234
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:33.000
Monday, Pretty quiet in Dubai Emma
Dumagae, the first Filipina stand up comedian

235
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.120
based in Dubai. That's the only
show in Dubai tonight. Moontower is actually

236
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.200
dark. They're back tomorrow. And
in Melbourne, Oliver Coleman's show is called

237
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.919
Goof, winner of the Best Comedy
Weekly Award at twenty twenty two Adelaide Fringe.

238
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.200
The Adelaide Advertiser said, comic genius
catapults to the point of sheer chaos.

239
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.559
All right, that's some high praise. Let's listen. I love performing

240
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.320
stand up comedy, I do.
I love I love stand up right,

241
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.960
But at the same time, sometimes
I do think, you know, like

242
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.879
of all the art forms, right, like music, film, et cetera.

243
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.519
It's just a bit muh, you
know, like it's just a person

244
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.720
standing on stage talking into a microphone. Isn't it like like it's the art

245
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:22.559
form that most resembles a school assembly. Isn't it The fact that's risen to

246
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.200
the level of like popularity in the
current culture that it has just blows my

247
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.840
mind right? Like you got,
you got? You could have done anything

248
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.480
tonight, you know, you could
have just stayed at home, gone on

249
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.960
the internet and watched pretty much whatever
you wanted from the whole history of human

250
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:41.559
art and entertainment. But instead you
came here to library story time for grown

251
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.679
ups to And then the clip abruptly
ended. But not bad. Ben co

252
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:52.919
Chan's share was called winning smile.
Ben's been keeping his eyes open lately and

253
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.120
his nose well and true to the
grainstone. He's trayed to stop looking at

254
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.919
his phone as much. He walks
down the street, no phone beat mega

255
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.480
and says Coachan is a silly guy. Let's listen slately, naughty here.

256
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.759
Good to see people having a few
brew skis nothing wrong with that. I

257
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.759
might get a little drink after this. I treat myself to a little virgin

258
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.159
Dacrey. That's right, it's a
normal dacory. But I drink it.

259
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.559
You Belgian alert? I am.
You know this is good. I'm very

260
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.480
excited. But something bad did happen
to me recently. You guys wouldn't believe

261
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.879
this. Someone told me that my
head is too narrow? Can you believe

262
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.600
that? And they've done it such
as myself. I'm the most handsome man

263
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.080
in my synagogue and they said that
to me. I couldn't believe it.

264
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.159
I think they may have a point, though, because I think my head

265
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.960
might be too narrow, because I
went for a massage recently and my head

266
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.720
slipped right through that little hole.
I went right through. It was brun

267
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.080
ole. I've got about a happy
ending? What about an upsetting beginning?

268
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.799
Now? He came out in shorts? Is that something the zy comedians do.

269
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.799
I'm gonna have to have somebody from
Australia come on and explain Australian comedy

270
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.359
to me. The shorts thing is
really throwing me off. All right,

271
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.480
let's find one more today. It's
so deep into the festival I can't remember

272
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.640
who we've done or not. Sam
Taunton's how to tie a tie? I

273
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.720
don't think we've done this one.
Let's listen. I'm a big movie fan.

274
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.240
I like watching movies. One of
my favorite movies recently it was a

275
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.640
movie nineteen seventeen. I'm not sure
if anyone saw it. It's an Academy

276
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.400
Award winning movie. It's about World
War One. It's so good. I

277
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.279
wanted to watch this movie in lockdown, but it wasn't on any of the

278
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.920
streaming services, and I don't know
how to illegally download movies. LimeWire doesn't

279
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.680
exist anymore, so it's beyond me. So I googled it one day.

280
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.599
I was like, nineteen seventeen Academy
Award winning World War One movie, How

281
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:42.119
do I watch? And I ended
up on Reddit and this guy's like,

282
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.079
hey, I've uploaded the movie for
free. Click this link. And I

283
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:51.240
clicked the link and it took me
to porn Hub. Yeah. I was

284
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.559
like, that's pretty funny, fair
play to this dude. But then I

285
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:59.359
actually clicked play on the video on
porn Hub and I realized that this hero

286
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:07.400
had actually uploaded the entirety of the
Academy Award winning World War One movie nineteen

287
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:14.839
seventeen to the popular pornography platform porn
Hub because you can just do that,

288
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.079
you can. I thought that would
stop it. I don't know why I

289
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:23.880
thought a government or maybe a fact
checker at porn Hub. I thought someone

290
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:26.519
was on the back end watching the
videos come in, being like this isn't

291
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.680
horny enough for me. Get out
of here. He's good, good stage

292
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.240
presence, good storyteller. Let that
clip go a little long and get to

293
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.200
the punch. But that's Sam Taunton
and that performance from the twenty twenty two

294
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.039
Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala. If
you want to look that clip up.

295
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.640
