00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:11.839
Callarogas Shark Media. Hello again, I'm Johnny Mac with the
2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.919
normal episode for Wednesday, September twenty fourth. Jimmy Kimmel returned
3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.320
to the airwaves last night, and I will do a
4
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.480
bonus episode separating out the Kimmel stuff some other stuff
5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.320
on the feed that I hope you checked out. Yesterday,
6
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.399
around noon, I dropped an episode with Mark Malkoff. He's
7
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.920
the host of the Inside Late Night podcast, the host
8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.719
of the Carson Podcast, and the author of the new
9
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.039
book Love Johnny Carson. We had a great convo about
10
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.560
Carson and all things late night. Later today at noon Eastern,
11
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.280
Jason Zinoman from the New York Times and I had
12
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.399
a very spirited discussion about We started about the re
13
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.399
Odd Comedy Festival, which I may or may not be
14
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.240
pronouncing incorrectly, as I learned, who knows. We talked about
15
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.640
whatever that festival is called. We also got quite into
16
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.240
the Colbert and Kimmel of it all, and then some
17
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.479
other comedy stuff on the end. So at noon today
18
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.880
really my favavorite episode I've ever done with Jason Zenman
19
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.679
from the New York Times. And then later in the
20
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.000
afternoon I'll do the Kimmel bonus so that I can
21
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.840
pull together all the clips and everybody's reaction and then
22
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.280
we'll take it from there. All right, here is the
23
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.120
normal episode for Wednesday. You know what I'm feeling bad
24
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.439
for our comedians. You should and will know that got buried.
25
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.319
I mean talk about comedy being timing. Oops, I mean
26
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.799
that just that got lost. I want to talk about
27
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.000
those people, but I cannot find the time. Let's talk
28
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.319
about Caleb here, And apparently I like his interviews better
29
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.239
than I liked his special He was speaking with Autostraddle.
30
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.799
Caleb said, I think our national conversation about so many
31
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.280
things is lacking. And one thing that I think is
32
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.519
really unfortunate is that conversations around queerness specifically really veered
33
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.840
into this precious object's territory, where we were incorrectly made
34
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.599
out to be the sensitive, precious people. It's just not
35
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.840
really reality. I hope we are, and he qualifies queer
36
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.879
and trans people and our allies and people don't understand
37
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.439
us yet but will at some point. I hope we're
38
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.319
moving towards a conversation that's less about policing and being
39
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.680
sensitive and treating us different and special and holding us
40
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.280
up and just going like, no, we actually just want
41
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:07.920
you to treat us like your neighbors. We actually just
42
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.840
want to be joked around with. We have the same
43
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:11.560
wants and desires you have. We want to make a
44
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.240
living wage and take care of our families and have
45
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.520
a good time. And I think it's so unfortunate the
46
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.520
conversation has drifted into this psychotic the about trans people,
47
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.439
apparently one of his go to quotes. I shared this
48
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.360
one yesterday. This is a different interview, I think, but
49
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.719
he said, my favorite trait guyes out right now are
50
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.719
conservative Republicans. I don't care. I love them. He pointed
51
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.159
out the ridiculousness of men like Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson,
52
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.080
Vice President Jade Vance, and Florida Governor Rond Dea Santis
53
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.560
worrying about masculinity and scapegoating trans people while wearing little
54
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.639
boat's eyes and so much mascara just to be compelling
55
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.919
and having the vocal inflections of somebody's seen do share.
56
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.919
At Hamburger Mary's Marioki, he was asked, who do you mean?
57
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.960
He said, I'm not seeding home to anybody. I'm not
58
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.199
scared of these mffors. I'm from this place just as
59
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.159
much as anybody else is, and don't get to tell
60
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.919
me we're something that we're not, or that we don't
61
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.960
belong where we're from, because we do. Model Comedian is
62
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.400
now streaming on HBO. Max Andrew Santino had caught up
63
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.039
with Variety. I was telling you about that before all
64
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.280
this Kimmel stuff started. I like what Santino said here.
65
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.120
A lot of us want to feel more free, so
66
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.879
we're doing our own thing. A lot of people are
67
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.719
making significantly more money doing their own thing. They going
68
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.840
down the traditional studio route. It took us a long
69
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.280
time to realize these guys were robbing us. They were
70
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.360
getting all the money, and we were working really hard,
71
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.159
and they were giving us what we thought we deserved.
72
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:28.719
We realized if we just made our own world and
73
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.759
not beholding to someone else's idea over what we deserved,
74
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.759
we can build our own audience and make our own future.
75
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.560
I still love television and film. I hope to act again,
76
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.400
I don't see it in my near future, and focusing
77
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.800
on stand up and podcasting and creating my own world
78
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.879
in the digital space. A lot of people you don't
79
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.719
see in TV and film anymore. Because not a lot
80
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.439
of stuff is being made in the comedy circuit in
81
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.000
terms of big commercial comedy films, comedy television shows have
82
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.680
kind of slid into the unknown. There's not a lot
83
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.400
of opportunity unless you're one of Seth Rogan's friends and
84
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.240
they can get on one of his fifty TV shows.
85
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.800
Outside of that, it's a little different. It's a little
86
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.680
bit harder. A lot of comedians, particularly, we're tired of
87
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.719
playing this weird please love meet aim of the business.
88
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.719
Instead they were like, we'll just go right to our
89
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.120
audience and try to connect with them. Did you watch
90
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.840
John Marcos sir Raizi's especially yet on YouTube. It's fantastic.
91
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.879
I do have to give the edge to Maren who
92
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.919
really brought it. But John Marco in a different year
93
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.639
might be the number one special of the year. Good
94
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.959
chance it'll be the number two. The New York Post said, hey,
95
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.160
you've been somewhat known for crowd work. That's still a
96
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.519
big part of your show. John Marco said, it's dependent
97
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.360
on the layout of the space. If you're in a theater,
98
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.560
the people in the back can't here. Still, I was
99
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.399
trying to incorporate it to a certain degree. It makes
100
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.519
it exciting for me. I hate doing the same thing
101
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.399
over and over. I can't guarantee how much crowd work
102
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.480
will be there. I can guarantee you'll be at least
103
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.240
getting eighty percent of the material. Often find you could
104
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:41.800
do crowd work for two minutes, and if it's great,
105
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.399
the audience will got in their fix. They got to
106
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.360
feel the part of something can only happen on this show,
107
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.720
and that was risky. He got into the physicality of
108
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.199
his act. He said, one time there was a New
109
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.560
York comedy club booker who didn't pass me because they
110
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.439
said I was to one man's show. I told my
111
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.519
friends at the time, I can mumble, I can stand still. Honestly,
112
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.240
I don't think I can. I'm able to deliver a lot,
113
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.720
even if I go to Europe and the audience members
114
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.279
don't fully understand all the jokes. They appreciate how animated
115
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.560
I am. Now that I have the stage in time,
116
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.519
I'm able to fuse being a one man show with
117
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.560
someone who moves, with someone who uses the space with
118
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.560
obsessive joke writing to deliver an elevated stand up experience.
119
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.920
Talked about his process. I record every single set and
120
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.720
put it into a transcription app. It allows me to
121
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.199
look at the text and pick up at any point.
122
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.160
I have three different word documents going. One is finished
123
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.240
material that I look through, but usually that's all burnt.
124
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.959
I keep it more as a library. The second is
125
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.079
everything I'm working on right now, which I'm trying to consolidate.
126
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.680
Then I have another that's one hundred and eighty pages
127
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.120
of stray thoughts that aren't going anywhere. It's ultimately this
128
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.519
gargantuan mess that will never be sorted out until I'm
129
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.319
forced to do the next hour. Tell the story about
130
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.560
auditioning for Orange is the New Black. The role I
131
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.920
auditioned for was the lead singer of an all white
132
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.120
roots cover band, just two lines. I did a lot
133
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.959
of research and the audition went really well. On the
134
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:52.920
way out, my manager at the time called and said
135
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.800
bad news. They canceled the audition. They found an actual
136
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.120
all white roots cover band, so they don't need the
137
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.800
role anymore. Alazzo with the La Simes recently did a
138
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.560
series called room Temperature as in no Ice shows to
139
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.959
raise money for detained immigrants. At those shows, she handed
140
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.480
out no your Rights cards. She explains my price point
141
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.279
was thirty dollars a ticket. You don't think thirty dollars
142
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.560
a lot of money, but when you group it with
143
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.360
all these other people, we came up with tens of
144
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.759
thousand dollars for a nonprofit. What's up next for her?
145
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.879
She's working on a tour, which means I have to write.
146
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.439
But you know, it's funny. I had a TV show.
147
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.680
It was only one season, twenty two episodes. It was
148
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.439
canceled in ten years ago, and there's not a day
149
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.160
that goes by that people don't ask me about it.
150
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.399
People always ask me if I do another TV show,
151
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.959
And the truth is I never wanted to because when
152
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.160
I had it, I was the first Latina to do whatever.
153
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.439
And the problem that happens when you're that is that
154
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:42.879
people don't know how to deal with it. Would basically
155
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.439
have to picture culture and ask them for acceptance. But
156
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.480
now I'm at the point where, having done Upperclassy and
157
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.279
talking about where I am and really taking stock of
158
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.319
where I am mentally in my approach to life, I
159
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.360
think I'm actually ready to do another show that's based
160
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.160
on the themes that I talk about in Upper Classy.
161
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.519
I was talking to a network recently and I was like, look,
162
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:58.879
I don't want to do a show about a single
163
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.160
woman trying to navigate her life. Been there, done that.
164
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.759
What if you actually explore somebody that's really really happy
165
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.959
where they're at. What about a show with siblings? What
166
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.120
about a show with something a little different? I wonder
167
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.879
if that pitch worked. The Times of India is your
168
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.519
home for comedy news. They reviewed Kevin Hart's show and Movebai.
169
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.959
They tell us Kevin Hart's show included reflections on life,
170
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.560
societal norms and personal growth. After India, Kevin was on
171
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.560
his way to Australia to play Perth, Milbourne and Sydney.
172
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.560
And of course if you want to see Kevin Hart,
173
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.519
you will find him at the Riod Comedy Festival in
174
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.279
Saudi Arabia. Look at Johnny Mack learning from mistakes. He
175
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.240
actually put the Toronto Comedy Festival in the notes today?
176
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.199
Did he bookmark the website? No? Look, he can't have everything,
177
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.199
and he's gonna make you listen while he babbles while
178
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.439
with one hand he types Toronto Comedy Festival. Yes he is,
179
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.120
And why doesn't he make that edit? Because that's not fun.
180
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.240
Tonight in Toronto, Ashwind sings seven o'clock Sabrino Woo seven o'clock.
181
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.600
Did I say Montreal or did I say Toronto? I
182
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.399
don't even remember. This is Toronto. Matthew Brissard nine thirty,
183
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.120
the Monster Island Character Showcase at nine thirty, and a
184
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.639
Hidden Gem show and Midnight Matti. Since the middle of
185
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.879
the week, it will pick up on the weekend. You
186
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.920
need something to do, well, go on the eight hundred
187
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.160
pound Gerilla site. They've got Lewis Gornham's choosing the wrong
188
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.319
story to tell. That's out today. Now apparently the Manila
189
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.079
Times has a comedy section. They made my rovers and
190
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.879
we learned that bark Metza, who's, as you know, the
191
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.800
co founder of Digital Dogs Crypto, connected with comedian Shane
192
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:36.360
Gillis to explore the intersection of digital communities, culture and comedy.
193
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.039
That's right, Christian bark Metta Barker recently met with Shane
194
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.000
Gillis at a private session in Austin. I can tell
195
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.120
how excited Shane Gillis is about this because there was
196
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:49.039
a picture of Shane with the guy. The guy also
197
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.360
has pictures with some other famous people. Now, Shane didn't
198
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.480
provide any quotes, so you know, he's clearly really into this.
199
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.840
This isn't just some crypto bro ran into Shane Gillis
200
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.000
and got a selfie and is really good at getting
201
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.720
newspapers to write about you. In the Philippines, Mark Meta said,
202
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.200
comedy thrives on connection and community. Crypto is building those
203
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.600
same connections in new digital spaces. Meeting with Shane shows
204
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.759
how these worlds are coming together. Uh huh. Chris Fleming
205
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.399
caught up with the Stranger dot Com. Chris is fantastic
206
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.840
and says in my Twilight ears, I have no interest
207
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.720
in winning a crowd over. Chris is not that old.
208
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.279
How old is Chris Fleming? Chris, you're thirty eight years old.
209
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.679
You could be fifty six recording a podcast in your basement.
210
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.840
You're still young and have so much future in front
211
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.840
of you. You can tell I'm doing extra silly stories
212
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:38.039
today because everything has been so serious. You know, if
213
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.200
you want serious, listen to the bonus episodes. I just
214
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.759
need to have some fun. Chris Fleming tells the Stranger
215
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.919
dot Com and my twilight years of thirty six or
216
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.840
whatever I just said two seconds ago, I have no
217
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.480
interest in winning a crowd over at this particular show.
218
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.440
Before I even grabbed the mic, somebody yelled, let's go
219
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.039
weird now, see Chris says curly here like a younger
220
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.039
weird all, and I was like, you know what f this.
221
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.279
I'm gonna do two songs that you're gonna hate, so
222
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.759
I don't have to hear. You gonna make the music
223
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.360
so loud. I'm just gonna kind of stare at the
224
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.159
lights so I don't have to engage. That's fantastic. H
225
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.799
Chris as a Dane Cook bit and has Dane ever
226
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.759
heard it? Yes, and he thinks it's funny. And I'm
227
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.039
so relieved because Dane Cook. A lot of people say
228
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.799
a lot of stuff about Dane Cook. Dane Cook was
229
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.600
like a theater artist when he was starting out. He
230
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.600
bought a theater icality to the stage that hadn't been
231
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.120
done before. I'm not sure I got that word right.
232
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.519
You do what up saying at the utmost respect for
233
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.480
his stage work. Yeah, And we see that kind of
234
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.440
physicality in Jennmorco SIASI and John Marco might be throwing
235
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.080
his phone against the wall now that I compared to
236
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.799
him Dane Cook, I don't know. And J. C. Penney
237
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.360
is doing some comedy with Shaquille O'Neal. By the way,
238
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.639
Shaq and Kevin Hart and those commercials, can you just
239
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.840
stop that? Those make me want I'm throwing my phone
