Callaroga Shark Media.

00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.960
Hey there, I'm Chohnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Honestly,

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.359
Monday was a little light coming off the Super Bowl.

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:17.239
You know a lot of people were at the game

5
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.760
and then not really doing any business. On Monday, a

6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.480
couple things were announced, including Amy Puller announced a podcast.

7
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.920
I didn't see anything from Kevin Hart. I'm surprised. I

8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.039
guess he was celebrating the Eagles victory. Tom Brady did

9
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.000
take a shot at Kevin during the broadcast. During the

10
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.280
blowout part, somebody mentioned Kevin Hart, and Brady said, Kevin

11
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.200
Hart's here. How do the cameras find Kevin Hart? Making

12
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.000
fun of Kevin Hart's height. You may recall that Kevin

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.479
Hart went after Tom Brady at the roast of Tom Brady.

14
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.359
Kevin Burkhardt responded, well, depends on the day. I guess

15
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.679
Brady then probably realized people were like, why is he

16
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.520
going after Kevin Hart and said, Kevin, I love you.

17
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.520
You took somebody shots at me and Mayham coming right

18
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.600
back at you. It was a little awkward. Nicky Glazer

19
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.479
was there. I didn't see any news about Nicky, but

20
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.840
I saw mention that she was out and about I

21
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.359
think Jim Gaffikin was there. Did I see Jim or

22
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.040
was that just in a commercial? But I thought I

23
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.480
saw Jim there. Shane Gillis was hanging out with Zach Bryan,

24
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.400
the musician, all weekend. They met Donald Trump. There's a

25
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.000
photo of that. No details about the meeting. Zach and

26
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.879
Shane did a surprise pop up concert Saturday night. They

27
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.640
did a surprise show at the Saturn Bar in New Orleans.

28
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.959
Zack announced the show on social media. A crowd immediately formed.

29
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.439
No details on Shane set Zach Bryan, in case you're curious,

30
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.680
played his hits. He also revealed on Instagram he'd dropped

31
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.879
a song called Dear Miss if the Eagles won the

32
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.200
Super Bowl. On social media, he had written if the

33
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.359
Birds win the Bowl, dear misses out the next day

34
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.760
see all in Nola, Shane Gillis and me might do

35
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.319
a pop up and get rowdy somewhere. I love you guys.

36
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.000
Let me see if that song came out. I'm on

37
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.920
my phone here. As of twelve sixteen pm on Monday,

38
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.319
he has not released the song on Apple Music anyway.

39
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.560
Pete Davidson was there hanging out with Miles Teller. He

40
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.000
showed up wearing a gray long sleeved t shirt with

41
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.040
Eagles writing on the front. Pete rolled up his sleeves

42
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.120
and showed his nearly tattooless arms. Page six shared Boy

43
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.960
That's hard to say, a story about Pete Davidson's commercial. Apparently,

44
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.479
he arrived at the set of the commercial early, shook

45
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.479
hands and was a total pro. He had the crew

46
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.439
cracking up the whole times as the insider, the relationship

47
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.520
with Pete and Gordon Ramsey was great from the start,

48
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.719
but warmed up even more once we started shooting and

49
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.360
Pete cracks and jokes. It seemed like Pete was gaging

50
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.080
how playfully could get with Gordon. In a statement, Pete

51
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.960
Davidson said making a Super Bowl spot with Gordon Ramsey

52
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:34.879
was awesome. We had a great time on set, joking

53
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.360
about Aliens, which inspired my final line. We riffed a lot,

54
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.560
and I was trying to get Gordon to break with

55
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.639
something outrageous. I think we pulled it off. Adam Sandler

56
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.120
was at the Super Bowl. He made a prediction that

57
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.879
the Jets would appear in Super Bowl sixty. Good luck

58
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.039
with that one. Out on Netflix today Philippia Sparza's Raging Fool.

59
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.080
In Raging Fool, Felipe explores the trials and tribulations of

60
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.960
navigating complicated family dynamics, marriage, culture, divides, infidelity, and more.

61
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.879
It's his second special for Netflix. As I mentioned the top,

62
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.360
Amy Pohler announced a podcast. I guess she wants to

63
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.360
ride the wave of the SNL press so that we're

64
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.919
gonna hear this week. I'm ready tired of SNL. We

65
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.280
barely started a lot of Lorne Michael's articles today that

66
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.120
just didn't interest me enough to share on the pod.

67
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.080
This one is called Good Hang with Amy Poehler. It'll

68
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.919
be out in March. Some of the mainstream media seems

69
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.000
to forgotten that Amy Poehler had a podcast called Same Worth,

70
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.840
Doctor Sheila. I guess they're positioning this one is the

71
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.599
first one that Amy Poehler is doing. As Amy Pohlar,

72
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.360
who knows the Monterey County now, was curious why Whitney

73
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.120
Cummings is touring so much. She said, I love debunking

74
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.879
what I believe is the myth that we're also divided.

75
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.319
You get in a room with two thousand people that

76
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:40.759
don't know each other and we're all laughing about the

77
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.360
same stuff. We're all seeing reality the same. She talked

78
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.759
about becoming a mother in twenty twenty three. I'm just

79
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.479
excited as sort of catch up to all the women

80
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.680
who are like, yeah, we had kids at thirty. Weirdo,

81
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.680
that's funny. Whitney continued. I think the value of making

82
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.639
somebody laugh when I started was more superficial. Now we've

83
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.719
entered the time, we're making people laugh as harder to do,

84
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.000
which is a good thing. I think pressure on comics

85
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.199
adds to the bar being higher quality. That's positive evolution.

86
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.120
I think as comics we represent the in between, we

87
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.719
represent the no loyalty to anyone. We're gonna make fun

88
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.000
of both sides. We're gonna defend the indefensible, even if

89
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.080
it's just a thought exercise for mind everybody that we

90
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.879
don't all have to think the same way. Jake Tapper

91
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.879
asked Amber Ruffin about hosting the White House Correspondence Dinner.

92
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.800
Jake asked Amber if she's gonna walk the line, and

93
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:25.279
she says, I think I gotta do it the same

94
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:26.600
way I always do it, by just telling me the

95
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.839
truth about how I feel. It's okay to say what's

96
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.480
making us feel sad at the moment. And I think

97
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.040
when you do that and people feel the same way

98
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.920
as you, they think that it's fun and funny and

99
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.399
it's good to hear, and it's kind of where I

100
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.120
operate from. Tapper asked Amber if she wants Trump to

101
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.319
show up. She replied, no, No one wants that. I mean, sure,

102
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.319
it's something to do. Look, I can't imagine he would.

103
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.839
He should, he's missing out one of the cool things

104
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.680
about being president of the United States. But I don't

105
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.480
know that anyone's looking forward to being in the same

106
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.199
room as him. I don't know. Half the room's Republicans.

107
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.439
They seem to like Trump. Tapper brought up the theory

108
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.399
that Trump decided to run when he was mocked by

109
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.600
President Obama and Seth Myers in twenty eleven. Tapper said,

110
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.519
it's the Trump origin story. Does that give you any

111
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.319
pause when it comes to choosing your targets this year?

112
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.480
Amber said, yeah, I'm a writer on Late Night. Seth

113
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.120
Myers is a friend of mine. He got us into

114
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.000
this mess. It's his fault. When you're looking for somebody

115
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:13.959
to blame, blame my boss. But no, he did what

116
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.199
he had to do. It can't be your job to

117
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.079
rasp people. And then this man comes along and it's like,

118
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.040
I'm going to be president. You have to laugh, And

119
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.199
I mean, ultimately, joke's on us, right. I've been meaning

120
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.680
to mention this. I thought it was odd that there

121
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.879
were no Chappelle think pieces after Dave winning the Grammy.

122
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.160
In previous years, it would be all kinds of things

123
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.279
about cancel culture, Dave and punching down and all that.

124
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.279
I guess everybody has said it already and there's nothing

125
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.439
new to say about it, but I was surprised there were.

126
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:41.079
I didn't see a single article about that. I mentioned yesterday.

127
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.319
Slate has an article titled whatever happened to Amy Schumer?

128
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.120
I'm not here to beat up on Amy. The paragraph

129
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.480
I think is worth sharing is the one where they wrote.

130
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.720
In the years between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen, while

131
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.959
Amy Schumer was storing in and co writing the Comedy

132
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.759
Central Sketch Show, she seemed like an exciting new presence

133
00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.959
on the comedy landscape, with her blunt honesty about the

134
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.920
nearing universal female body shame induced by Hollywood's brutal beauty standards,

135
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:05.879
or her keen ear for the way women talk to

136
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.839
each other when no men are present. For a few

137
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.079
years there, Schumer was everywhere, hosting award shows, getting coffee

138
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.240
and cars with Jerry Seinfeld and winning an Emmy and

139
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.319
a Peabody for inside Amy Schumer. Now let me jump

140
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.639
in there. I'll mention two comedians that I feel like

141
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.240
they need to tap the brakes. Jim Gaffigan needs to

142
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.720
tap the breaks. Just disappear for a couple months. Jim.

143
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.639
The other one, Nicky Glazer, not so much as Jim.

144
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.560
But as I read that Amy sentence, let me back

145
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.040
up again. Schumer was everywhere hosting award show, getting coffee

146
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.920
and cars with Jerry, winning an Emmy and a Peabody.

147
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.720
I think Nicky is a little too visible right now.

148
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.000
Maybe disappear for a month or two. Anyway. The Slate

149
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.800
piece wraps up with Netflix is kind of pregnant, misunderstands

150
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.040
what once made the comedian so appealing. Nouveau caught up

151
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.839
with Rachel Feinstein and asked her about her comedy origin story.

152
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.639
She said, a lot of comedy clubs do these things

153
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.160
called bringer shows, and it's a way that they can

154
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.839
make money to get people on the seats, so she

155
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.439
put me on that and that did get me seen

156
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.600
by a few other real professional comics. At one of

157
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.839
my first Bringer shows, Jeff Ross came and saw me,

158
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.000
and the family that I nannied for came. I did

159
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.040
a lot of stories about their kids, because that's what

160
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.079
my life was at that point. I bombed less. I

161
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.759
was not drunk, but I was still not good and

162
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.120
still aimlessly rambling. But there was something in it that

163
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.560
Jeff Ross saw me that he felt confident enough to

164
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.639
recommend me for an audition at a real comedy club.

165
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.720
That's cool. So that really helped me and get me

166
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.759
my first paid spot, which I remember was such an

167
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.000
insane feeling. Towards the end of my run at Sirius XM,

168
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.959
we actually had Rachel co hosting the morning show and

169
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.639
she was really good at it, and I thought that

170
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.079
show had a lot of potential, but the bosses were like,

171
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.560
we already overbarning show. It's called Howard Stern. Well, you

172
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.079
know what happens. Time goes by and suddenly Howard Stern's

173
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.120
seventy and you probably wish you had, you know, grown

174
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.920
a show, guys. Rachel would have been good, but she

175
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.800
seems fine without hosting a radio show. Oh, speaking of that,

176
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.279
as catching up on Tom Poppa's podcasts, I meant to

177
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.720
you know, I'll do it here. I know this makes

178
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.279
no sense to you, So my script is over now.

179
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.680
But also, you know, today's a little light, but we

180
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.160
want to finish recording here. I'll leave you with Gaffigan

181
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.160
and Popa doing some inside baseball stuff that I thought

182
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.600
was pretty interesting. So I'll pull that now, and that's

183
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.079
what we'll go out with. I also listen to Papa

184
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.040
with a Tell In Papa with Paul Riser. They were

185
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:27.120
all good. The first half of gaff again on Papa's

186
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.959
podcast is really strong if you're into like this sort

187
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.559
of stuff that we cover here. Then once they started

188
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.879
about food and whiskey, it fell off a cliff a bit.

189
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.440
But let me pull that stuff. So here's what I'm

190
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.120
babbling about.

191
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.159
Do you ever look crazy signs where like, oh this

192
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.559
is where it Stan comes in. Yeah, this is the

193
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.519
boom is over? I did today? Really, what was it?

194
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.960
This is a delight. It looks like we're drinking.

195
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.120
Come.

196
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.840
I thought that's what it is. That's what know I

197
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.440
had today because I was on Instagram when I got

198
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.039
to the Hotelacker and just as Avie were and I

199
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.600
saw three really established good comics, all with their videos

200
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.360
of Hey, everybody, my torches came out. We got a

201
00:08:58.360 --> 00:08:59.440
whole bunch of dates and they're all going up and

202
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.320
then night and it seems like right now everybody's got

203
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:03.840
the same game plan and they're all going to the

204
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.399
same places, and they're all seeming I don't know, but

205
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:06.960
seeming to have to push a little bit more. Yes

206
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.279
before post pandemic, the immediacy after the pars pandemicere, you're like,

207
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:11.440
I got get out the house now. People like I've

208
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.360
been out of the house. Yeah, yeah, some stand up

209
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.320
I've seen them, you know, and yeah something do you

210
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:17.440
think it's that? Do you think that? But there's the

211
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.799
other part where you talk to people and they're like, no,

212
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.200
this is bands aren't going out and selling anymore. It's comedians.

213
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.399
And the blessing is your fans who know and love

214
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:24.720
you are coming to see you have your good tribe,

215
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.519
and that's very different from ABFC comedian Like there's not

216
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:28.240
a lot of crossover.

217
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.120
