Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack and we're
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.560
Jim Packed again today with your daily comedy news. I
3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.800
cannot get enough of this. Tom Sigora chop busting on
4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:23.280
Garth Brooks the latest. To promote his August twenty seventh
5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.800
show at the Comedy Mothership in Austin Joe Rogan's place,
6
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:32.079
Sagora photoshopped his face over Garth brooks face on an
7
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.119
album cover. Tom even got the font right and has
8
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:36.960
a sticker with the day and time of the show.
9
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.759
Tom's been making fun of Garth Brooks for years. If
10
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.799
you watched the recent Netflix series Bad Thoughts, so there's
11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.840
a wonderful, totally not Garth Brooks at all sketch that
12
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.159
was absolutely my favorite. This all gets back to a
13
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.479
conversation on Tom's podcast years ago when they started joking
14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.960
that Garth Brooks might be a serial killer, which of
15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.119
course Garth Brooks is not. He's definitely not a serial killer.
16
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.479
I just want to make that clear. Despite my certainty
17
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.920
that Garth Brooks is not a serial killer, Tom Segura
18
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.760
had apparently suggested that the evidence was Garth Brooks very
19
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.400
unusual videos that he had posted on social media. Fans
20
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.959
started commenting on Garth's social media posts with one question,
21
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.120
which was where are the bodies Garth. Tom Sigora has
22
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.519
been blocked on Instagram by Garth Brooks. In the past,
23
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.959
Agora has talked about a reliable source who Segory asked
24
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.280
does he know? And they're like, oh, yeah, he knows?
25
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:30.719
And I was like, is he upset? And they're like,
26
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.480
he just doesn't get it. He doesn't know why you're
27
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.519
talking about him. Sigora said, I was like, Okay. Dusty
28
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.599
Slay mixing it up with the country music fans. He
29
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.200
has some strong opinions on what's country music or not.
30
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.680
You'll find Dusty on the Rolling Stone podcast Nashville Now
31
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.400
Dusty talking about his new special that was out last week,
32
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.200
Wet Heat. Rolling Stone asked, you cost a lot of
33
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.840
stir on social media when you claim that Post Malone's
34
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.040
F one trillion was not country music. Why don't you
35
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.200
considered country? It's fair question. Dusty said, I'll say this.
36
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.159
I think it was two discs, and I didn't realize
37
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.519
that the second disc actually was a little more country.
38
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.800
What I listened to was the stuff with the other
39
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.639
country singers and I was like, I don't like it.
40
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.400
I don't think this is a country. Personally, I don't
41
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.759
think post Malone has a country voice. I don't mean
42
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.039
an accent. He just doesn't sound country to me. And
43
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.520
then he was paired up with a lot of country
44
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.520
singers that I really like. I don't like people switching
45
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.360
genres coming over to country and being like, now the
46
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.560
country's super popular, I'm gonna make country. Now. I've heard
47
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.400
that post Malone his next album is gonna be more
48
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.560
traditional country. So I think he heard me. If you
49
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.759
want to make a country album, make a country album.
50
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.280
So Rolling Stone was curious, all right, what goes on
51
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.039
a country album? Dusty said, I think you need steel guitar, fiddle.
52
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.400
If you have those, you already have a recipe for country.
53
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.280
That's a good place to start. If you don't have
54
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.360
a basy voice, you're gonna need those two things. If
55
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:46.680
you have a real deep voice, I think you can
56
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.000
get away with just an acoustic guitar. And they then
57
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.360
asked him about a bunch of albums, one of them
58
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.919
Morgan wallins I'm the problem. Dusty said, all right, I
59
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.520
don't think so. I don't like it, but this is
60
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.360
what I'll say. I got a brother in law from Michigan.
61
00:02:58.360 --> 00:02:59.879
He grew up with this. My sister's ten years older
62
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.120
than they got married. They started dating with her like eighteen,
63
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.919
so I was like eight. So this guy, he's been
64
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.199
in my life. He moved from Michigan down to Alabama,
65
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:07.800
lived in a trailer park with us. He knows all
66
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.400
about country music now, and I was trying to show
67
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.400
him how not country it is, and he goes, that
68
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.719
sounds country to me. So it's hard to argue. But
69
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.639
to me, it's not country. It's a thing they're doing
70
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.759
with the way they sing. Now, everything sounds so emotional,
71
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.919
and everything's trying to sound so deep. I think there's
72
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.000
a groundedness that country music really needs. So The Rolling
73
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.520
Stone followed up with Carrie Underwoods before he Cheats. Dusty
74
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.360
Slay said, Yeah, country's very well known for breakup songs,
75
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.159
but I feel like there should be a male version
76
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:32.719
of this song where you're the other guy. You're the
77
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.520
guy that shi keied his car. You need that guy.
78
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.319
Where's his side of this? What was going on? Why
79
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.800
did he cheat? What happened? Did he really is she overreacting?
80
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.719
Did she go to jail cheating's not illegal in a relationship.
81
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.479
I love it. John mulaney was on Threads pushing his
82
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.360
book club. I think the reason John mulaney has a
83
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.159
book club is to make Jim Gaffigan's Whiskey project look cool.
84
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.759
In comparison, I think m'lane's taking one for the team.
85
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.599
On Threads, John posted some crooked photos, but he explained
86
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.680
my three year old photographer his son captured my excitement
87
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.599
for this month's mullany Read's pick, which is Shark Heart
88
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.680
by Emily Haybeck. Mullaney explains shark Heart, very hard to say,
89
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.879
was my favorite book of twenty twenty three, and one
90
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.439
that I don't think got enough attention when it came out.
91
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.920
It tells the story of Lewis and Wren, a young
92
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.360
married couple that faces something many of us can relate to.
93
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:23.519
You know what's going through my head now. The idea
94
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.160
that somebody said the way into a half assed Millenni
95
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.759
impression is to do Fred Schneider from the B fifty
96
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.279
two's Lewis is diagnosed with a rare disease that will
97
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.319
gradually turn his body into that of a great white shark,
98
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.519
like for real. Next thread from John Mulaney. I think
99
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.000
each of you will bring your own life to the
100
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.040
book and maybe see it and the changes and losses
101
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.639
you have gone through. It's the wildest premise and yet
102
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.120
I think we'll feel deeply personal to lots of readers.
103
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.279
The book is fantastic and you can buy it at
104
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.079
independent booksellers all around the world. It is John Mulaney's
105
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.279
book Club Cool. Conan O'Brien had Mack packer Andy Samberg
106
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.839
on his podcast. They started talking about Conan O'Brien's tenure
107
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.720
on SNL. Samberg had heard the show was a little
108
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.519
more competitive and kind of grimy. Conan said, yeah, definitely
109
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:10.839
was when I was there. And then I have to
110
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.319
credit Adam Sandler. Conan said every week he would worry,
111
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.120
I don't know if I have anything this week. It's late.
112
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.759
I don't think I can write comedy. He would call
113
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.439
his girlfriend Spiraling, sh'd tell him to quit. Conan, I
114
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.160
was in a state of mind. I think like Smigel
115
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.040
and Odin Kirk and Greg Daniels were like, it's life
116
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.560
or death, and it feels like that's kind of how
117
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.000
everyone feels. And then this guy, Adam Sandler showed up
118
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.319
one day and he's like babba doo, and he kept
119
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.279
talking about let's go get a milkshake, and I thought
120
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.079
what and he was like, this is so much fun
121
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.680
to be at SNL. I love it. He was really happy,
122
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.759
and you're just like, how is this a possibility you
123
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.560
can like this? Conan added, I think sometimes real silliness
124
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.079
used to be discounted some what it was Adam Sandler
125
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.319
who made him realize it had real value. Congratulations to
126
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.040
Mark marin his upcoming documentary Are We Good We'll be
127
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.519
in theaters. Independent documentary film distributor Utopia has acquired the
128
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.079
North American theatrical rights to Are We Good. Are We
129
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.759
Good shares the life story of Mark Meron. It specifically
130
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.920
emphasizes Mark Maren's self reflective journey through grief after unexpectedly
131
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.160
losing his partner, filmmaker and actress Lynn Shelton. The film
132
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.680
chronicles how Mark Maron returned to the stage while also
133
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.399
exploring his career trajectory over the course of forty years.
134
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.920
Are We Good includes interviews with John mulaney, Nate Brighetzi,
135
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.120
David Cross, and Mikhaela Watkins, as well as footage from
136
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.439
Maren's sixteen years hosting the podcast. On the Good One
137
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:36.000
Podcast Bill Byrd, it sounded pretty feisty, especially when he
138
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.879
gets into the political stuff. I'll get to that later
139
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.720
in the week. Berr talked about working on himself and
140
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.120
talked about some legacy advice you would hear from comedians.
141
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.439
There's this thing, don't go getting happy. If you get happy,
142
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.240
you're not gonna be funny anymore. But no, it's actually
143
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.279
better because it opens up this whole new worldview. So
144
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.480
you're not doing the same thing the entire time. You
145
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.680
have to keep incrementally changing every year, so there's some
146
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.560
sort of Fordamentum no what you're doing. That's what happens.
147
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.439
When people knows a change, you have a positive reaction
148
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.319
to it. But if people have left behind who are
149
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.759
still angry, misogynistic and blah blah. I'm not saying I
150
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.319
didn't have a lot of issues with women. I do,
151
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.560
but even then it's not them, that's to do with
152
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.319
other stuff. I just keep going back and figuring out
153
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.519
what it is. So I definitely had a fall off
154
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.720
of the stay angry bro guys, and they're not fans now.
155
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.360
I just think, well, hey, man, I hope you're not
156
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:16.959
angry your whole life, because I was on my way
157
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.040
to doing that, and I don't want to be that
158
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:19.959
guy the on me. If somebody would have said that,
159
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:21.759
I would have been like, well, FU didn't what I want.
160
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:23.399
But even for a person saying, you know, as funny
161
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.199
as he used to be, I still have empathy and go,
162
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:26.680
I know what he's saying. I like, don't go to
163
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.720
light because I'm not ready yet. Stay here in the
164
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.000
bar with me thinking all this negative stuff. I don't
165
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.120
want to be the pied piper that I don't want
166
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.439
my tombstone to be here lies Bill Burr. He was angry.
167
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.399
Were my one effing life that I had? He did that.
168
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.639
So I'm also realizing it's just kind of what it is.
169
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:41.920
You have your stuff, you have to work out, and
170
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.839
that's your life sentence. Just for Laughs has announced some
171
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.480
of the line up at least for Just for Laughs Toronto.
172
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.920
Glad to see the Toronto Comedy Festival coming back. It
173
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.360
is a fantastic fest of all I've been thinking about
174
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.920
going up this year. It's from September eighteenth through the
175
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.480
twenty seventh. The names they pulled out in the press
176
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.959
release gave Iglesias, Sarah Milliken, Viral Sensation, drop Out, improv
177
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.639
and fan favorites Maria Bamford, Almdical, Big Jay Ogerson, and
178
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.160
Ron Funches kind of fly through. This lineup includes Al Magical.
179
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.959
I'm guessing if you listen to my podcast, you know
180
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.199
Al best known as a correspondent on The Daily Show.
181
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.680
I like his stand up a lot. Alistair Ogden is
182
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.240
one of Canada's top comedic talents and was one of
183
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:26.480
the new faces just for Last Montreal. He was pretty good.
184
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.639
Ashwan Singh is a stand up comedian, musician and writer
185
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.399
whose work blends incisive humor with heartfeld social commentary. And
186
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.200
Indian immigrant turned Canadian resident, Ashwin draws on his unique
187
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.120
perspective to explore themes of culture, identity, immigration and family,
188
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.120
wit and relatability. Big Jay Okerson, I imagine you would know.
189
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.120
Brittany Schmidt is an LA based, Wisconsin raised comic. She
190
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.440
likes her comedy like she likes her cheese. Stinky, that's hackey,
191
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.559
I'd be afraid of that. That's a little hacky who
192
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.879
wrote that? Don't be fooled by her. Girl next Door
193
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.759
looks her humor is insidious. And unapologetic. She's open for
194
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.879
Theo Vaughan, Chris Red and others. All Right, Shaye Jarina,

199

200
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.240

201
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.559
Latin America. He was the first South American comedian to
202
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.279

fob four, described as hilarious takes on immigrant life and
207
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.279
cultural clashes. His skits mixed humor with relatable insights, especially
208
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.080
for diaspora communities. Oh my goodness, the ever so serious
209
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.320
Harry Condobolo is going to be there. I think we
210
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.519
need to update Hari's crudentials a little bit. We're told
211
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.600

212
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.960

219
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.399
love the titles of those. One is called Mark Ford
220
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.480
