00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.519
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:16.879
daily comedy news. Bert Kreiser compared Fiji to Arizona. He
3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.679
said Fiji was drier than he expected. I guess I
4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.839
wouldn't expect Fiji to be dry. Bert told the Drop
5
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.760
a Pin podcast that although he enjoyed being on a boat,
6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:29.519
scuba diving, surfing and catching fish, it felt dry. It
7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.960
didn't live up to expectations. He said, when you hear Fiji,
8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.359
you think of jungles, forests and a more lush place. No,
9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.439
I actually think of being on a boat, scuba diving,
10
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.759
surfing and catching fish. Speaking of being dry, Variety tells
11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.320
us if you see John Malani having a beer, don't worry,
12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.240
he has not relapsed. They were talking about his new
13
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.039
partnership with Years. That's the alcohol free beer I told
14
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:53.719
you about a week ago, maybe two weeks ago. At
15
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.520
this point, there's a commercial we see John m'laney lounging
16
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.320
pool side while recalling a time when his wife, Livia
17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.119
Munn thought he may have been drinking again when she
18
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.480
spotted him downing several cans of non alcoholic years. However,
19
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.400
ma'laney said that never actually happened. She's well aware of
20
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.000
my enjoyment of years non alcoholic beer. But I have
21
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.200
best friends who've been like I didn't want to say anything,
22
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.719
but Ma'lanie tells us it's sold a Wrigley Field. It's
23
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.599
that exact Midwestern pilsner that I like. Other people make
24
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.719
a light non alcoholic, but most of them taste like
25
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.799
a drink trying to taste like one versus just being
26
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.040
a pilsner or a pale ale that just isn't fermented.
27
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.280
Now he's joking. He wants to take on Tom Holland
28
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.120
to see who is the king of non alcoholic beers.
29
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.200
You see the Spider Man star has his own non
30
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.359
alcoholic beer brand. Biro Molaney says, it's a cage fight,
31
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.519
like a physical fight like UFC, because you know, I
32
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.200
fought three fourteen year olds on Everybody's Live? Will he
33
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.719
fight Tom Holland? I'd fight three fourteen year old friends
34
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.000
of his. What does John mulaney love most about being sober?
35
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.319
He says, when I go to the doctor and I
36
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.439
have problems, we don't have to kind of tiptoe around
37
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.319
the minefield. It's like I say, I'm urinating a lot
38
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.079
at night. I have some numbness in my left hand.
39
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.319
We then don't have to discuss whether it's all the cocaine,
40
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.640
adderall opioids or alcohol. They'll take you much more seriously
41
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.159
at the doctor. Blainey says he would like to see
42
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.840
Anthony Hopkins in a commercial. I know Anthony Hopkins is
43
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.360
something like sixty five years of sobriety. I think it'd
44
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.400
be a natural. He could play an acting student mine.
45
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.360
He goes, you're such a good actor. You were on
46
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.879
the Bear, not many other things. And I go, that's true.
47
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.800
And then I say to him, you're getting better, sir,
48
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.360
and then I hand him one from The Indian Times,
49
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.800
your home for comedy news. Ricky Turvay's shared on social media.
50
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.719
I'm working out every day now, tennis waits running, et cetera.
51
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.560
My resting heart rate is really good, and I train
52
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.479
at quite a high rate too. So my question is
53
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.719
why am I still effing fat and exhausted? All the
54
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.159
sea word time, Well, I've never heard the sea word
55
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.759
used in that way. He used it the way someone
56
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.199
like me might use a e fing time. He said,
57
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.919
seaword time. Interesting. Well, luckily, The Indian Times caught up
58
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.039
with doctor Syriac Abby Phillips, who, as you know, is
59
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.400
popularly known as the Liver Doc. The Liver Doc said,
60
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.560
it's the alcohol, Ricky, It's the alcohol, not the food.
61
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.800
Like people blaming the responses, enjoy your food. Good advice
62
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.080
from the liver Doc. The New York Times asked Mark
63
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.400
Maron about white guy comics with podcasts becoming influential, name
64
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.120
checking Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, and Andrew Schultz, who was
65
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.159
just at the re Odd Comedy Festival. Maren said, these
66
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.520
guys have proven that their fan bases can be tribalized
67
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.919
in something that I think is fundamentally dangerous. Still in
68
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.199
their parameters free speech, you can do whatever you want.
69
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.400
And if you want to be used by the dominating
70
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.879
propaganda arm of a fascistic momentum against democracy, well, I
71
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.439
hope you're happy with your show. Some Times asked Maren
72
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.919
if he thought his success came too late in life.
73
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.199
He started his podcast in his late forties. Been there
74
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.319
done that? Maren said, Now, if you're honest with yourself,
75
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.000
I think a lot of time success didn't come because
76
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.199
you weren't ready for it. When I auditioned for a
77
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.520
Saturday Night Live. I wasn't ready for that. By the
78
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.840
time the podcast started, I'd let go of the other dreams.
79
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.840
When they started it happen, I felt like, Okay, I'm
80
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.439
ready for it. Now I could show up and do
81
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:53.879
the work in a way that I wouldn't have been
82
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.360
able to do previously. I'm not mad that my success
83
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.360
came when it did. I'm just glad that it came,
84
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.000
because it would have been a much sadder life if
85
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.240
it hadn't. Current Affairs dot Org guest John Marcos arasi,
86
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.120
what's it like out there in America now? John Marco
87
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.080
said it could be really tough, because my shows have
88
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.919
a joy that I don't think is in America right now.
89
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.759
Especially when I'm in the South. I find that's one
90
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.000
of the audiences. How would I say it even more
91
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.360
visibly queerer than in the city. I just did a
92
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.560
show in Hattiesburg, and I think in Hanniesburg I was
93
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.360
probably the gay hang of the night. Sometimes people say
94
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.800
they come alone of the show, and I hope they
95
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.720
come alone and leave with someone. It's meet and greet.
96
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.279
When I go to my shows, I always tell them,
97
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.079
if only the people in this room voted Jill Stein
98
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.439
would have had a shot. That's a great joke. There's
99
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.000
a joy there. America itself just feel as bleak as
100
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.680
f and I'm starting to accept and understand my role.
101
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.920
That's even if I talk about current affairs. There's a
102
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.319
degree of escapism. I'm saying, hey, let's go in here
103
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:42.560
for an hour and a half and just laugh at
104
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.000
how fed up it is. It is so nice to
105
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.519
see people discovering him. He's having a moment right now.
106
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.560
He's kind of the it comic right now, which is
107
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.600
really great. Jamarco, how do you take the political temperature
108
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.639
of your audience? He said, Honestly, one of the benefits,
109
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.079
and I think one of the detriments of modern day comedies.
110
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.639
Our fan bases are so curated via social media, so
111
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.399
in a way, I probably feel a safety at my
112
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.199
own shows that will someday bite me in the ass
113
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.160
when I forget I'm at someone else's show or just
114
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.000
a comedy club, and I'll have to be ready. I
115
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:10.759
just feel like the harder shows were the early years.
116
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.160
That's when i'd be in Florida and I'd look at
117
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.639
the men in the audience and esthetically they had copied Trump.
118
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.399
They had orange faked tans. They looked like they were
119
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.279
on the waitlist for Mara a Lago. That was more
120
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.680
nervous racking than it is now. But that'll be the challenge.
121
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.519
I think as you get comfortable in your own space,
122
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.680
you expand, you push yourself to be sharper and follow
123
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.319
your views to even more biting punchlines. And then do
124
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.560
you have the hood spot to do it when it's
125
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.079
on a TV show? Or I guess if you're gonna
126
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.879
do the re On Comedy Festival which I wasn't invited to.
127
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.399
Phoebe Robinson was on The Last Laugh podcast and took
128
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.279
a shot at Rogan Theo and others who she says
129
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.439
helped humanize a monster for millions of young male listeners.
130
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.680
Phoebe said, the same guys who build platforms on mocking
131
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.319
women and minorities are suddenly shocked Trump is doing what
132
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.199
he always said he would. You have to live with
133
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.399
what you did. You know who you voted for, own it.
134
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.720
Third Coast Review asked Gary Golman, ay, you have so
135
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.879
many bits that you spice up with strategically placed antiquated
136
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.279
freezes like ne'er do well? Where do you pull those from?
137
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.480
Gary said, it's from reading so much. I read more
138
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.399
than just about every other comedian. I think I've read
139
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.480
sixty books already this year, and I'll probably finish close
140
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.480
to one hundred. And that's been every year that I
141
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.519
haven't been sick. I also listened to a lot of books.
142
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.879
I had a friend who sadly passed away, but he
143
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.920
was very literate. He was an English teacher and a comedian,
144
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.319
a high school English teacher, which is really hard. He
145
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.600
was so well read. He said something to put words
146
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.800
to what I knew. Intuitively, people love to hear words
147
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.839
that they forgot they knew. That's when I realized I
148
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.639
had been doing and I try to continue to do it.
149
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.800
But there's a sweet spot. It comes from trial and error.
150
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.920
Try this word, to try that word. Sometimes you get
151
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.079
to the stage you're about to say a word and
152
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.040
you think, oh, they're going to groan because this because
153
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.759
it's way too written. See dial it back, smart smart smart.
154
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.560
But if you spend as much time as any writing
155
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.680
out the sentences and switching the words so many times,
156
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.680
you remember which word was the second least obnoxious, you
157
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.439
go to that it's a trial and error, but after
158
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.600
thirty years he build up instincts as to what will
159
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.079
land and what won't, what will sound too written. I
160
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.759
don't want to be the comedian who the audience is
161
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.800
silent for. That's painful, but I don't mind if every
162
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.480
once in a while a word doesn't land with the audience,
163
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.079
because when I do it on TV, it finds people
164
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.639
who think I got to see this live because he
165
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.600
gets me. I forget who said it. I think it
166
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.120
was a British comedian who said, if you could find
167
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.720
a thousand people who go to every show when you're
168
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.240
near them and buy every album you put out, you
169
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.800
can have a nice career. So if you were one
170
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.240
of the newer listeners who jumped on board during Kimmel
171
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.560
Gate and Riod Gate, again, thank you welcome on board.
172
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.519
I think today is pretty representative of like a normal episode.
173
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.079
You know, there's not always a major controversy, and believe me,
174
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.680
I love a major controversy. I welcome the next one.
175
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.720
But you know, this is kind of like, this is
176
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.800
how the show goes on a normal day. So hopefully
177
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.680
you're enjoying today. You must be if you're still here
178
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.360
ten plus minutes. But this is a normal episode. Doctor
179
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:42.160
Demento has wrapped up his radio career. Real name Barrett Hanson. See,
180
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.000
I didn't know that would be good Trivia. The Trivia
181
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.959
guys listening now, no one will get that one. You'd
182
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.600
have to phrase it like Barrett Hanson, known for his
183
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.399
wacky radio show parody songs, is better known by this name.
184
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.000
You'd have to go at it that way. I'm telling
185
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.399
the Trivia guys how to do their show. Hi, Trivia guys.
186
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.000
Johnny Mack hasn't been at Trivia a very very busy October,
187
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.000
hoping to get there soon. Anyway, I digress. Doctor Demento
188
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.240
wrapped up fifty five years on the air. Eighty four
189
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:12.079
years old. He started on KPPC Pasadena in nineteen seventy.
190
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.199
The Doctor Demento Show was nationally syndicated from seventy four
191
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.040
to twenty ten. I have a vague memory of stumbling
192
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.839
across that, probably around the same time Weird Al caught on.
193
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.800
Couldn't tell you what radio station, couldn't tell you when
194
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.560
it was actually on, or how you'd find it, but
195
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.240
I feel like I heard it every now and then.
196
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.639
Doctor Demento's final show aired for three and a half
197
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.840
hours was a countdown of the most requested show during
198
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.279
the fifty five year run. Countdown included longtime favorites like
199
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.080
fish Heads, the famous They're coming to take Me away haha.
200
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.039
Shaving Cream a nineteen forty six recording credited to Benny
201
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.960
Bill with Paul Wynn on vocals. I'm familiar with Uncle
202
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.759
Floyd used to do that one. That's a fun song.
203
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.320
If you don't know that one, let me put the
204
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.799
lyrics of that one. It's a wonderful example of a
205
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.960
naughty song that's not naughty at all. I won't say
206
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:01.720
for you. I know you're disappointed, but I'll read it
207
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.759
in Cadence lyrics to Shaving Cream, I have a sad
208
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.919
story to tell you. It may hurt your feelings a bit.
209
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.279
Last night, when I walked into my bathroom, I stepped
210
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.840
on a big pile of shaving cream. Be nice and clean,
211
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.039
shave every day. You'll always look keen. You see. You
212
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.600
get how it gets. So you basically you set up
213
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.720
the rhyme of a word that ends an it, and
214
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.039
you get to the shaving cream and you go into
215
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.799
the coorse. It's a fun, naughty song. Comedians Joe Wilkinson
216
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.279

00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.120
great dramatic actor, does he have any advice to the

He loves her more than anything, just like I love

my wife more than anything. That's where they're at, and
