00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.560
Calaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.119
daily Common You news. Tim Dillon's from Long Island. I'm
3
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.640
from Queens lived on Long Island for seven years. I
4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.600
understand Tim Dillon and he used to listen to conservative
5
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.039
talk radio. I've heard him talk about it on his podcast.
6
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280
He probably listened to some things that I produced back
7
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.679
in the day. Don't try and put me in a corner.
8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.000
I've worked on both the Bob Grant radio show in
9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.799
New York City and on Pots of America, so you
10
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.359
don't know where I stand. Although if you pay attention,
11
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.320
you'll know when I think certain people are ridiculous. I'll
12
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.280
leave it at that. Send your letters to Johnny Mack anyway.
13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.520
Tim Dylan was on Hot Ones. He believes Long Island's
14
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.719
greatest contribution to the American culinary scene is the bacon,
15
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.399
egg and cheese sandwich. Two eggs over medium bacon, American cheese, salt, pepper,
16
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.479
and ketchup on a roll. And you eat that in
17
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.079
the morning around one thirty PM. Think about it to
18
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.479
coach your stomach. It absorbs that anxiety that would either
19
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.119
push you to the gym or do a job or
20
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.359
in a good relationship or in a jog, an anxiety
21
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.400
would push you to become a better person. You can
22
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.200
actually absorb all that with the sandwich and then go
23
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.680
right back to bed. Yeah. I used to like my
24
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.760
mop up food. Two in the morning. There was a
25
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.920
bagel store in Sunnyside, Queens and I'd go get two
26
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.040
bagels onion bagels, probably with butter. I would actually get
27
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.319
off the subway stop stop before where I lived, so
28
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.280
I could get the two bagels and eat the two
29
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.799
bagels while walking home and just kind of like the
30
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.680
fresh air and the calories and the fat, and you know,
31
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.200
in the cold especially, you'd feel a little more awake
32
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.519
when you got home. Shake off some of those Bruce Kis.
33
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.879
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, Jim Dilan said, long Ah,
34
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.799
there's a place of comfort like the suburbs. The food
35
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.079
is bad, people would riot. There's nothing else. There's no culture,
36
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.760
there's no real intelligence, nothing is really interesting. There's no
37
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.319
sense of history or community or family. There's no real athletics.
38
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.200
I know, we used to have the Islanders. It was great.
39
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.159
I used to leave my house and be in an
40
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.719
Islanders game in like twelve minutes. Was amazing. It's not
41
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.719
especially pretty. I'll disagree with that. There's no national or
42
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.920
local meaning or feeling of purpose. It's kind of a
43
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.040
vacant landscape of nothing, a suburban indianess that closets you
44
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.080
until you finally fill yourself in with bagels and nyochi
45
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.240
or fentanyl. The conversation turned to Tim Dillon special This
46
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.360
is Your Country that was the Jerry Springer type special,
47
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.000
and said, you know who didn't like it as much? Netflix? Now,
48
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.439
I'm kidding. They're great people there. We love them, but
49
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.159
they don't love talk formats, and I think they were
50
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.520
nervous about it. I think we all need daytime trash
51
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.199
TV that's not hyper political. I think we all need
52
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.479
to coalesce around realizing that we're all garbage people and
53
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.280
exploiting that. Nobody was talking about tariffs on Ricky Lake.
54
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.719
That's what I remember was great about the nineties. People
55
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.400
just want to do as much damage to each other
56
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.039
as they good for entertainment value, and that's what I
57
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.639
was trying to do. So were we now in the
58
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.680
era of establishment? Tim Dillon? Do I no longer have
59
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.639
to say I really liked to podcast, But someday when
60
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.879
he cancels himself, I'm gonna disavow and say I never
61
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.000
told you that. Is he now part of the club.
62
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.879
I think he's part of the club. He's getting on
63
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.919
cable networks hot ones is a lot more mainstream than
64
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.840
you'd think, like a lot more, Tim. I think you're
65
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.960
now establishment, Tim Dillon over there with your friend establishment,
66
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.159
theo vant who's interviewing the vice president. What has happened
67
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.120
all you rebel outsiders? You lived long enough and the
68
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.599
establishment brought you in and you didn't even realize it.
69
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.879
Tim Dillon also defended whole milk, saying whole milk from
70
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.879
America's heartland, dairy farmers with whatever needs to be in it,
71
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.000
whatever hormones are in it, need to be in it.
72
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.080
Hands off rfk. I'll have my milk the way I
73
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.479
like it, genetically engineered. He also shared what he thinks
74
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.840
is the most influential fast food item, the mcgriddle, because
75
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.919
the mcgriddle married the sweet and savory in a way
76
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.680
that now everybody does it, so media pick up on
77
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.280
something Mark Maron wrote. He put out a blog post
78
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.000
that's similar to his comments from last week when he
79
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.759
said he was ending the podcast The headline now is
80
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.680
simplifying it. Maren has Rogan regret basically the blog post.
81
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.960
Mark Maron writes, we weren't the first, but in terms
82
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.000
of making it a viable medium, we were certainly one
83
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.479
of the ogs. We changed the world. Literally, we showed
84
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.560
the world was now possible to create a specific type
85
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.199
of show on one's own terms. We helped unleash an
86
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.719
exciting type of delivery system for pure self expression. Sadly,
87
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.199
on some level, we also unleashed a format that's been
88
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.680
used for dubious means, propaganda and pure evil. But hey,
89
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.479
it's not the atomic bomb. On a recent WTF, Mark said,
90
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.120
it's just interesting to me in the big picture of
91
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.160
what's happening and what the medium is unleashed, that me
92
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.319
and Joe Rogan were both in the system, two ends
93
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.720
of the spectrum of podcasting coming from the same source,
94
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.399
and a now truly apocalyptic landscape. In October of twenty four,
95
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.399
Maren said podcasts have become a medium that normalizes fascism.
96
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:36.040
He called out quote comedians with podcasts for having shameless
97
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.120
self proclaimed white supremacists and fascists on their show. All
98
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.519
it does is humanize and normalize fascism. When someone uses
99
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.120
their platform for that reason, they're facilitating anti American sentiment
100
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.920
and promoting violent autocracy. Maren didn't call out anyone by name,
101
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.720
but those words came three days after Rogan had released
102
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.120
an episode with Donald Trump. By the way, uh Trump
103
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.920
with Bono really enjoyed it. I'm a huge G two fan.
104
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.959
You can profile me. I'm fifty five years old from Queens,
105
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.720
New York, and my last name is mc dermott. Of
106
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.600
course I like you too, and it was very good,
107
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.759
Maren wrote last October, and this is timely. I don't
108
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.959
know if you're paying attention to the news this week.
109
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.639
Are you going to the parades Saturday? Yeah? That looked
110
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.759
that up, Maren said. Fascism is good for business, if
111
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.160
you tell the line. Popular podcast became tribal and divisive
112
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.120
years ago. Now they might be in the position to
113
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.480
become part of the media oligarchy under the new anti
114
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.240
democratic government. All right, it's so Senil learns to me,
115
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.040
Mark Marion, Joe Rogan and whoever else. So Tim Dillon
116
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.319
to send him a letter. Eliza Selessenger has been doing
117
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.800
a lot of press and I don't know why. Actually
118
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.720
I do know why. I have. There seems to be
119
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.439
some sort of pr campaign to get her an Emmy nomination.
120
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.160
That seems to be what's going on. I'll talk more
121
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.959
about that tomorrow because I saw a note in Billboard
122
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.079
that pretty much said as much. But Eliza has been
123
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.240
doing a lot of press, which is well, I just
124
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.439
said what she said. You certainly don't know when a
125
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.079
joke or new hour is done. This was in a
126
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.600
sit down chat for deadlines at Prime Experience. But Eliza says,
127
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.360
but you have to tape it at some point, and
128
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.160
then the heartbreaking part is the next week when you
129
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.120
go on tour, continue touring to find all these things
130
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.120
you should have said. It's almost like you have to
131
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.759
tape an hour to know how much better your hour
132
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.079
could be. That's interesting. I truly believe stand up and
133
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:15.839
I hate I'm saying this is like a bottle of
134
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.399
wine and I think I'm stealing it from Sideways. But
135
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.920
it's an ever evolving thing. Her latest hour is titled
136
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.319
A Different Animal. She says there's forty five minutes of
137
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.319
material that never made the final cut. I believe an
138
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.079
audience deserves a polished product, and people should expect that
139
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.240
from Stand Up comedy. Also, this is corny. The title
140
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.439
isn't just a nod. Remember, the title is a different animal.
141
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.680
The title isn't just a nod to her creative evolution.
142
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.040
It's also an acknowledgment of the fact that what she
143
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.879
delivers with both her material and her delivery is unique.
144
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.000
Eliza says, I'm a different animal now than when I
145
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.199
started comedy. Material is different, and I'm a different person
146
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.360
than I was when I started writing, a different animal.
147
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.839
So I think it really speaks to the idea that
148
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.680
what you get when you watch my stand up something
149
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.120
completely different than people expect from comedy as a genre,
150
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.879
or from me from what you've seen before. My former
151
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.600
coworker Jamie Fox says he wants to mix comedy with
152
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.759
quote funny church stuff and is creating an experience that
153
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.240
celebrates both his humor and his spiritual roots. Fox went
154
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.839
on Instagram and a video. He said, I got some
155
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.680
funny stuff that I want to do. I'm a church boy,
156
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.639
so I want to do some funny church stuff. So
157
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.199
when I come to your city, I need you all
158
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.199
to pull up on me and play along. He's searching
159
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.319
for gospel choirs in every city to join his upcoming tour,
160
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:25.639
so rather than a house band of sorts, so it
161
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.959
would be a local choir. Fox has yet to share
162
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.360
official guidelines on how this works yet, but he wants
163
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.240
a different gospel choir in each city. Bert Krascher was
164
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.240
on the Drop a Pin show and he proclaimed which
165
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.360
of the American states is the best? Are you ready?
166
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.959
What's your guess? Bert Krescher proclaimed that Ohio is the
167
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.000
greatest state of America has to offer. Not only does
168
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.800
he love the quote big cities, but he thinks that
169
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.079
people are very understanding as opposed to other states. But
170
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.720
it said, I think Ohio is the greatest state in
171
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.680
the Union. I argue that because I've traveled everywhere. Its
172
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.879
topography is gorgeous. It's the perfect political place to be
173
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.079
where they get your personality. They welcome everyone, but they're
174
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.759
not lunatics. You get weather, you get on the water.
175
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.879
No state has the big cities that Ohio has. I
176
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.399
think it's the best state in the Union. Yeah, I mean, okay, weather, water, sure,
177
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:19.040
No state has the big cities that Ohio has. No California, Texas,
178
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:23.079
nobody's big cities like anything else. This got mixed responses
179
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.839
on social media and from some losers recording a podcast
180
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.759
in their basement. One social media user said, horrible take.
181
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:35.840
It's Wisconsin going away. The Great American Comedy Festival is back.
182
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.879
The headliner Yakov Smirnoff. Yakov's been doing some press this week.
183
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.679
He was going to do Fellon. That may have happened
184
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.840
by now, but he's the headliner on Saturday. James Austin
185
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.039
Johnson headlines Friday Night. Part of the Great American Comedy
186
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.639
Festival is honoring Johnny Carson, who would have turned one
187
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.200
hundred this year. Festival executive director Pat Jensen said, Johnny
188
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.080
Carson was a comedy legend, and certainly SNL isn't that
189
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.360
same pantheon. If a member of the current SNL cast
190
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.200
during the same year that we recognize Johnny's one hundredth birthday,
191
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.200
just feels so perfect. I heard me drop the g
192
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.320
in that sentence. The Queen's Accent's coming out today. I
193
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.039
heard it. I'm leaving it in Hit your ten second,
194
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.639
rewind it happening during the word during. The festival kicks
195
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.440
off tonight with the traditional family comedy Magic Show. The
196
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.399
festival opened in two thousand and eight to honor the
197
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.879
legacy of Johnny Carson. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
198
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.480
is launching its own book club, and I know you're thinking, wow,
199
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.159
that sounds really cool, and I'm with you, Yeah, really cool.
200
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.360
Stephen Colbert jumped on the social media and said, we'll
201
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.360
be highlighting wonderful books that are worth your time that
202
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.720
you're not putting into watching this show. The first book
203
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.200
in the super Cool Late Show book Club is called Orbital.
204
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.000
That's a twenty twenty three sci fi novel. Colbert says
205
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.679
Orbital is a beautiful novel about six astronauts on the
206
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.759
International Space Station going about their daily tasks and pondering
207
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.159
the meaning of life. It won the book a Prize,
208
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.519
and it won the even more prestigious prize of being
209
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.440
my first book club pick that actually sounds like a
210
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.360
book I would like after I've totally made fun of
211
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:00.279
the book club, but come on, Late Show book Club.
212
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.799
Jacob Samuel has an album out today. He spoke to
213
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.320
streight dot com. He said one of the problems he
214
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.279
had breaking into comedy is I'm not a good storyteller.
215
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.600
I was never a naturally charismatic, schmoozy guy. I always thought,
216
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.639
don't want to do comedy writing. I didn't really want
217
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.919
to perform, but then you realize that to even start
218
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.679
down that path, you need to be performing if you
219
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.559
want to make inroads in the comedy communities. His style
220
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.080
is observations of modern day life and quick hits of
221
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.559
twelve to fifteen seconds. He says, I love that joke
222
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.159
structure where he had a little clue and then some
223
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:29.799
people get it, then more people get it, and you're
224
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.000
bringing everyone in slowly. An example which I'm sure he
225
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.399
told better than I will. It's about dating apps. He said.
226
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.960
I'd see some women write in the profile, I just
227
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.399
love life, and that's great because that tells me you
228
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.960
have zero life experience. Another I'm a jazz lover, and
229
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.200
I don't mean I love jazz, I mean I make
230
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.480
love like jazz, because the way I make love is
231
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.120
not very popular. That's a good joke. His first album,
232
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.200
Horsepower forty five minutes, when the twenty twenty one Juno
233
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.279
Award for Comedy Album of the Year. This new one
234
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.320
is called Big Time. He says, sometimes you put in
235
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.159
a lot of work and it results in nothing. He
236
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.440
told a story I had to cut a joke on
237
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.000
my special that I've been doing for five years because
238
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.200
the week after I recorded the special, Nate Bergetzi he
239
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:10.799
came up with the same joke on the fly on
240
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.799
his podcast. It wasn't the exact same wording. I think
241
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:15.519
mine was better because I had worked on it, but
242
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.279
he figured out the same concepts. I'm like, wow, I
243
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.120
can't put that out there because the hottest community in
