Caloroga Shark Media.
2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:12.080
Hey there, it's one of the worst days of the year.
3
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.839
It's back to workday. I'm so glad I worked for myself.
4
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:18.719
And hello, I am Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
5
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.800
A daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the
6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:23.719
comedy industry, which is a sense that you would say
7
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.640
if you are successfully seeing increases in your Spotify downloads
8
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.199
as you're trying to goose the Spotify algorithm, that's just
9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.000
a pro tip there. Hopefully the comedians get back to work.
10
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.520
It's getting a little thin out there. I've got enough
11
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.159
for you today, especially as we catch up on New
12
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.119
Year's Eve. Bert Kreischer's New Year's Eve special. Not sure
13
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.039
it went too well. I've been looking for recaps, haven't
14
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.679
seen any that were good. People on social media did
15
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.240
not like it, and CBS had a technical snaff who
16
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.799
they lost the broadcast of New Year's EV Live Nashville's
17
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.359
Big Bash for twelve minutes. Again, I've been working in
18
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.120
radio since nineteen ninety two. Twelve minutes is an eternity.
19
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.159
If there weren't some emergency conference calls on New Year's Day,
20
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:10.920
there's a meeting today I used to work with a
21
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.560
guy named Frank. Frank would be holding a meeting this morning,
22
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.879
going how did this happen? And how does this never
23
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.840
happen again? So to all the Franks out there, enjoy
24
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.959
your meeting. A twelve minute gap. So what did they do,
25
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.079
Johnny Mack? They started running Mattlock. Can you imagine You've
26
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.959
got this big New Year's Eve show, You're trying to
27
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.200
take on Ryan Seacrest and it drops to the point
28
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:31.760
where like you don't know what to do, so you
29
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:36.359
throw on matt Lock. That is a technical disaster, and
30
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:37.879
that's just you know, it's New Year's Eve, you're having
31
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:39.519
a party. You're not gonna leave matt Lock on. Everyone's
32
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.359
going to turn that off. The interruption came about fifty
33
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.079
minutes into the five and a half hour special. I
34
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.560
had no idea that special was that long. That's crazy.
35
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.040
So what happened was at about eleven to fifty pm Eastern,
36
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.120
which is exactly what you don't want this to happen.
37
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.480
Laney Wilson was in the middle of a song when
38
00:01:55.519 --> 00:02:00.000
suddenly was interrupted. Shortly thereafter, a voice mentioned technical difficult.
39
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.519
Does a network still have the live announcer in the booth,
40
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.840
sitting there all day. They probably do just for this.
41
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.879
So CBS cut to a string of commercials. Been there,
42
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.599
done that. That's what you do when something goes sideways,
43
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.120
you just clear out all the spots. Then they threw
44
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.159
on Mattlock that appeared to start in progress. So they
45
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.080
were probably dead rolling as the term dead rolling Mattlock
46
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.280
in case such a thing happens. So during a live
47
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.039
show you might run something in the background. Another reason
48
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.039
you would do that is to keep your automation systems
49
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.919
on time. That's my guest there. So somebody who was
50
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.080
dead rolling Mattlock ran out of commercials or hit the
51
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:34.599
panic button, was like, hey, I don't know how to
52
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.400
get this back up. Well it's like midnight. So are
53
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.000
you calling the CBS boss? Whoever's making this call me like,
54
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.680
hey boss, we don't know how to get Chrysler back up.
55
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.479
What should we do? Should we run the Mattlock tape?
56
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.639
So somebody had to make that decision. Oh, the meeting
57
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.280
today is going to be amazing. Can I sit in
58
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.840
on it? Can you guys invite me to the meeting?
59
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.759
I just want to sit in on it cause these
60
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.800
are much more fun when You're not the one explaining
61
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.159
what happened. You don't understand. This is a whole stress point.
62
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.560
You know what I did on my tenth anniversary, Well,
63
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.199
my tenth anniversary was in the middle of my week's vacation,
64
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.919
and my boss told me I had to come into
65
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.120
New York City to sit at my desk to monitor
66
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.560
just in case the broadcast of Jamie Fox's show from
67
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.919
the Democratic National Convention went down. The DNC was not
68
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.400
was not New York City, so I had to come
69
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.960
in to an office, sit there, blow off my wife
70
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.879
on our tenth anniversary, and just sit there miserable till
71
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.719
like eleven thirty at night, just in case the thing dropped.
72
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.159
It did not drop. So I can't imagine the meeting
73
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:33.639
they're having today. I want to sit in on it.
74
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.840
After about twelve and a half minutes, Bert Krasier and
75
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.120
Country Singer Party came back on and apologized for the interruption.
76
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.919
Gretchen Wilson and to this stage, oh that sounds wonderfully horrible.
77
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.319
Also on New Year's Eve, Stephen Colbert was on Anderson
78
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.479
Cooper and Andy Code Show. Apparently their whole hey Let's
79
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.680
get drunk on the air thing got a little little
80
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:55.199
out there.
81
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:56.520
This was weird.
82
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.240
Is that really the best idea? Guys, Hey, let's get
83
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.039
our host drunk on the Is that really the best
84
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:01.840
look for CNN?
85
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:02.879
Anyway?
86
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.479
Stephen Colbert told Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen don't trust billionaires.
87
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.280
They don't get rich by finding that money on the
88
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.199
side of the road. Brother, These last five months of
89
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.439
Stephen Colbert's TV show might get a little interesting. So
90
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.279
there I was. It was New Year's Eve. I was
91
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.519
watching the Knicks. So while watching the Knicks, I was
92
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.639
also playing on my phone. And let me get serious here,
93
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.519
it is nice to have friends in this world. And
94
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.040
this has I've been thinking about this for days and
95
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.120
it made me happy, and it made me a little sad.
96
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.240
So normally on Wednesday nights, more often than not, you'll
97
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.879
find me at trivia over at the brewery, unless it's
98
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.040
volleyball season. See, my guys, We're of Beach Volleyball team,
99
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.000
a bunch of guys. I'm like the young one and
100
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.240
I'm fifty six. And I'll tell you the name of
101
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.040
our team. Name of our team is We're Old, so relaxed.
102
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.160
And now the reason it's called We're Old so relaxed.
103
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.079
Is so when you twenty somethings show up with the
104
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.439
spike in your facers, you go, who we playing? Oh,
105
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.040
we're playing and we're old, so relaxed.
106
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:56.480
That's weird.
107
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:57.720
And then we show up when we're all in our
108
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.839
late fifties plus and you go, oh, I'm the hell down.
109
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.920
We're just there to have fun. It's suburban Morristown, New Jersey,
110
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.279
volleyball relax. So that's what I do in the summer,
111
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.079
but in the winter I go play trivia. You gonta
112
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:14.279
understand Morristown, New Jersey on New Year's Eve is a zoo.
113
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.920
And my dog better stop barking. You can hear the dog.
114
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.360
Hopefully the noise reduction got the dog.
115
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:19.000
Dog.
116
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.360
I'm trying to be serious here for a second, stop barking.
117
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.279
You know what the dog's barking in. I'll tell you
118
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.199
what it's barking at. As I record this, it's three
119
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.759
oh one pm. The robovac goes out at three o'clock.
120
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.600
Three times a week. The robovac goes around the living
121
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.759
room to clean up the dog. Here. We do this
122
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.079
every other day, and the dog just like girl, where
123
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.680
was I? Normally I go to trivia, but I didn't
124
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.120
want it to go with Morristown, so I stayed home.
125
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.519
So I'm playing on my phone and watching the things
126
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.800
and Jeff. Jeff is one of the quote unquote trivia guys.
127
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.439
There's Bob and there's Jeff. They're both really cool and
128
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.800
sometimes Johnny Max had one beer too many and argues
129
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.800
the points on the questions and they go all right.
130
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.800
Normally he's not a total a hole. We'll let him
131
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.279
go on this one. I've learned over the years. Just
132
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.879
stop arguing. You're gonna win a sticker. Calm down. Actually
133
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.319
there was a gift certificate if you finished first. Pretty
134
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.439
good one too. Anyway, there I am. I'm playing on
135
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.480
my phone and I go on Facebook and I see
136
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.000
from Jeff, who's one of the trivia guys. And Jeff, seriously, dude, bro,
137
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.319
this meant so much to me, and this made me
138
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:21.160
just made me feel loved and also guilty that I stated, boy,
139
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:22.639
I wish I had been there for this. I really
140
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.399
wish i'd been there. I'll ask the audience the question
141
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:30.160
that Jeff posted, question five the topic. Shout out Johnny
142
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.279
Mack the question and I'll answer it after the break.
143
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.879
The Daily Comedy News podcast reported that Billboard reported that
144
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.439
this comedian's Big Dummies World Tour was the top grossing
145
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.600
comedy tour of twenty twenty five, grossing fifty six point
146
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.439
seven million dollars on six hundred and seventy seven thousand
147
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.240
tickets sold. That was a trivia question. I would have
148
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.040
gotten that one right, although for laughs, I would have
149
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.839
dumped that on Glenn and made him stress, and Glenn
150
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.199
would have went, I don't know, so Jeff, Thank you
151
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.399
so much. Jeff, one of the trivia guys. They're best
152
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.519
men Trivia if you were. I don't know how far
153
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.439
these guys go. They come to Morristown, New Jersey, and
154
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.319
I know they do a bunch of things. If you draw,
155
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.399
I don't know, I'm making this number up a twenty
156
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.279
mile circle round that. Jeff might be throwing his phone
157
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:09.959
across the room going, we're not going twenty miles. Or
158
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.319
maybe it's like I'll go two hundred miles.
159
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:11.680
I don't know.
160
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.319
Ask them best men Trivia. They were on a really
161
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.879
nice show to super Pro. I'm usually home by nine
162
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:22.040
point thirty. Again, I'm fifty six years old. That's a bonus, Jeff.
163
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.399
Thank you so much for that. I'll reveal the answer
164
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.920
after the break. Amy Schumer likes somebody talk about her,
165
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.879
so she went on Instagram on New Year's Eve. She
166
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.839
posted Happy New Year hashtag sensual photo. People magazine describes
167
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.079
a picture as featuring the newly single Shumer sitting alone
168

169
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.639
loose fitting T shirt underneath the black hoodie and was
170
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.519
makeup free, with her hair and a bonytail. She also
171
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.680
crossed her eyes and made a funny face while holding
172
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.480
on to a container of spaghetti. Amy, why don't you

News podcast group. I'll tell you the contestants and all

188
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.679
that's up to you. I'm not saying as host, it
189
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.360
wouldn't be cool for me to suggest who you vote off.
190
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.200
That's not cool at all. I'm the omniscient toast. You know,
191
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.120
Jeff on the Survivor shows, not trivia Jeff Jeff Probs.
192
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.120
Jeff Probes doesn't show up and be like, you know,
193
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.200
if you wanted to vote Boston rob off, I wouldn't
194
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:53.559
be the wepsete about that, like he wouldn't do. I
195
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.000

196
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.759

hundred Pound Gorilla. You know what they did. They sent
199
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.639
me publicity. You know how I complained about the Hulu publicist,
200
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.919
that the Hulu publicist will not engage with me. The
201
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.120
eight hundred pound Gorilla people are the opposite. They're like, hey,
202
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.200
new special and I was like, oh, what's this new special.

208
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.480
unhinged overshares, Jen Marco successfully turns chaos into punchlines. I
209
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.279
