00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.320
Hey busy one again. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily
3
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:16.079
comedy news. Bill Burr on his podcast addressed his appearance
4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.120
at the Riod Comedy Festival. He did this about seventeen
5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.480
minutes into his podcast after talking about football. I have
6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.519
made many many edits here, mainly to get rid of
7
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.440
F bombs. Bill's one of those guys that can't get
8
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.760
through an fing sentence without you know, F and cursing
9
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:32.600
and F and F and I just don't want to
10
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.479
play all the F bombs. I know I've been letting
11
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.359
the swear words go this week because I'm trying to
12
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.479
capture the emotions of the comedians involved in all this.
13
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.280
But I don't want to play just a million F
14
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.479
bombs when he's just using them as adjectives. I did
15
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:45.520
leave in an S word.
16
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.600
Here's Bill Burr, And like my whole idea of Saudi Arabias,
17
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.840
what I've seen like on the New I literally think
18
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.159
I'm going to land, you know, and everybody's gonna be
19
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.159
screaming deaf to a matica and they gonna have like
20
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.119
machetes and want to like chop my head off, right,
21
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.119
because this is what I've been and fed about that
22
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.879
part of the world, right, and we're flying over it.
23
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.439
It's nothing but like these long roads and sand, it's
24
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.280
like nothing, and everybody's just regular.
25
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.719
They're dressed different, but they're regular.
26
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.200
I go down to do the show, right, and they say,
27
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.040
all right, the front two roads is going to be
28
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:27.519
all diplomats in these padded seats, and then up top
29
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.000
the royals are going to be there.
30
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.560
And it was like in the round and everything, and.
31
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.200
Everyone was like ridiculously excited that there was going to
32
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:39.480
be stand up comedy there.
33
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.560
And this is what's amazing about.
34
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:50.079
The arts and stand up comedy is comedians have always
35
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.920
pushed like the boundaries and this was like a classic case,
36
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.840
like I guess this is tipping the cap to the
37
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.799
people that set up the festival over there. When they
38
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.359
first went to set it up over there, the rules
39
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:02.439
on what they had.
40
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.359
About what you could say and what you couldn't say.
41
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.879
In Saudi Arabia, the people running the festivals will be like,
42
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.639
all right, well man, that's game, set match.
43
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:11.000
If this is like all you.
44
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.199
Can talk about and you want some good comedians, like
45
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.439
this isn't going to work.
46
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.719
And then to their credit. They said, all right, what
47
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:19.400
do we gotta do?
48
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.159
And they just negotiated it all the way down, so
49
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.840
like you can talk about anything, you know, other than
50
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.879
a couple things, which was basically you know, you know, religion,
51
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.560
don't make fun of the royals, and other than that,
52
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.919
it was all everything.
53
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.680
Was like open.
54
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.439
In this next clip, Bill discusses what it was like
55
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.759
to actually be on the stage again. I've made many
56
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.719
edits for f words in some for basing the people.
57
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.719
Okay, they want to show. You could feel it. I
58
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.280
was talking to other comics. You could feel it. They
59
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.680
wanted you to push right. It was really exciting. So
60
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.840
I go up on stage and I start doing my
61
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.199
shit and they're into it. Everything's going good. I'm not
62
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.960
going to lie to you. I'm checking out the diplomats is.
63
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.719
I'm doing this stuff and they're all laughing. All right,
64
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.000
So I'm gonna push you a little farther. And all
65
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.800
of a sudden, I start getting in the zone. Well
66
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.599
Billy's feeling loose up there, and my brain just goes
67
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.319
gay Jim, and then the other part of my brain goes,
68
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:16.919
don't do that.
69
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:18.479
And then I said, I'm going to do it. So
70
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:23.240
I started doing the joke and it murdered. It murdered.
71
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.800
They all loved it, and at that point I was
72
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.560
just like, oh, I'm just doing my act. So I
73
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:34.520
did my act, did the whole thing, and I had
74
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.360
to stop a couple times during the show. It's like
75
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.120
going like, I'm be honest with you guys, I cannot
76
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.159
believe any of you have any idea who I am.
77
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.800
This is really amazing and it was just this great
78
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:44.919
exchange of energy.
79
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.159
Right, And one more clip from Bill Here is his
80
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.360
final takeaway of the entire experience.
81
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.240
Thank you to everyone in Rehod that came out. I couldn't, honestly,
82
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:56.479
from the bottom of my heart, I could not have
83
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:57.680
a better time doing.
84
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:58.479
Shows for you guys.
85
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.080
And it was great to experienced that part of the
86
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.000
world and to be a part of the first comedy
87
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.439
festival over there in Saudi Arabia. I think it's going
88
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.599
to lead to a lot of positive things.
89
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.000
So there you go. That's that's that.
90
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.439
Oh wait, I do have one more clip from Bill. Now.
91
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.480
This one is edited because I took the timestamp and
92
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:21.720
attached it to the rest of the comments, but I
93
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.519
thought you might find this clip from Bill Burr kind
94
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:25.120
of interesting.
95
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.439
Hey, what's going on? Is Bill Burr and it's time
96
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.319
for the Monday Morning podcast.
97
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:34.279
For Monday, June thirteenth, two thy and sixteen. All right,
98
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.839
just a question, when will you come to Saudi Arabia
99
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:44.720
or Dubai or Kuwait. I don't know when they like us.
100
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.439
I'm not going over there and getting kidnapped and getting
101
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.079
my head sowd off on YouTube.
102
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.199
Hey's Bill Burr, just checking in on you. And then
103
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.480
you know you'd have to say something.
104
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.279
Nah, you couldn't because they need to worry that they
105
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.160
do something even worse to you. I wait till write
106
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.759
as they got through the jugular. Oh man, I would
107
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.480
find you do a quick little Philly set on. Uh,
108
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.360
just say everything that would piss him off, which I
109
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.199
would say.
110
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.000
Would I know you know what I would be.
111
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.240
I'd be rocking and crying like I know that doesn't
112
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.120
happen in Saudi Arabia. But you know if you steal
113
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.639
something in Saudi Arabia, they chop your arm off.
114
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.600
You know, I don't need that pressure.
115
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.560

Riodd Comedy Festival. Zarna Garg is there now. If you're
129
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.319
not familiar with Zarna Garg, she fled India at age
130
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.720
fourteen to avoid an arranged marriage. She came here to
131
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.680
the United States, where of course, women have rights, and
132
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.879
tonight she's at the ri Odd Comedy Festival. Her material
133
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.600
draws from her Indian heritage, immigrant experience, and motherhood The
134
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.319
Guardian has reported that Nimesh Pezil remember that Instagram story
135
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.160
that I played yesterday, he's pulled it down. Well, you
136
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.720
know what, Nimesh, I still have it. Let's listen to
137
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:44.279
a clip of it.
138
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.079
No, I'm not attending. I just figured, you know what,
139
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.199
I'll just do forty shows that had not planned on
140
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.040
doing here in the perfectly clean moral above everyone else,
141
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.040
United States of America. I'm tired just thinking about it
142
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.839
to make a for the lost bag. So that's what
143
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.000
I'll do. I'm going to do forty shows that had
144
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.879
not planned on doing that haven't even been launched yet,
145
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.600
that we're now trying to figure out between now and
146
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.480
the end of the year to make up for the
147
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.560
lost bag before my theater tour kicks off.
148
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.720
The Guardian did not pull any punches writing about this thing.
149
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.759
They called out everybody. It's glorious. I shared it in
150
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.600
the Facebook group which is Daily Comedy News podcast group,
151
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.839
which has been very active this week. I love you
152
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.680
all participating in that. Feel encouraged to join us. You
153
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.360

154
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.519
that you're not a porn bot. We don't want any
155
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.399
porn bots any Facebook group, Daily Comedy News podcast group.
156
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.600
But if you're an active member, come on buy and
157
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.959
start some conversations. I've got some pretty good ones this
158
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.040
week about this topic, anyway, The Guardian wrote, over the years,
159
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.319
Andrew Schultz has joked about the Koshoge murder and Saudi
160
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.240
connections to nine to eleven. He's tweeted that Saudi people
161
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.120
are begging for help from a tyrannical regime of sexism,
162
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.639
racism and homophobia, and argue that the country exists because
163
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.560
we allow them to exist in order to give us
164
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:08.639
bleeping gas. Andrew will be performing at the Riod Comedy Festival.
165
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.279
The Guardian also called out Jessica Curson, one of two
166
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:17.680
women on the festival's lineup. Jessica wasn't speaking specifically about
167
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.959
this situation, but they quoted her speaking about the plight
168
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.079
of female comedians in the Middle East in the past.
169
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.360
Jessica Kerson said, they're not allowed to talk about the
170
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.680
government or the royal family, or they're not allowed to
171
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.839
curse or talk about sex. We are so privileged here here,
172
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.519
presumably the United States, The Guardian continues. Even if the
173
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.559
bigger names on the bill were offered huge sums. None
174
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.679
of them are hard up for cash. Chappelle, Hart Burr,
175
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.200
Koi and Gabriel Iglesias. Not sure why Gabe got both
176
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.639
names and Koi got one, but whatever are multi millionaires
177
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.279
who sell hundreds of thousands of tickets playing big venues
178
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.279
across the globe. Louis c K's income may have taken
179
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.440
a dent in recent years, but an invoice sent to
180
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.000
his promoter, obtained via public records request, appears to show
181
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.720
that he grossed more than three hundred thousand dollars over
182
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.159
a weekend in Seattle this past July. Similar records appear
183
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.879
to show that in twenty nineteen, Pete Davidson, who's at
184
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.600
the Reod Comedy Festival tomorrow, earned one hundred thousand dollars
185
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.720
for a gig at Florida State University. In twenty twenty three,
186
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.320
Pete Davidson grossed more than one hundred and thirty thousand
187
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.440
dollars over a weekend in Buffalo. Again. Pete will be
188
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:25.399
at the Riodd Comedy Festival tomorrow. Oh, The Guardian wasn't done,
189
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.960
they point out. In an August episode of the podcast
190
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.240
We Might Be Drunk, Jessica Curson chatted with hosts Mark
191
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.919
Norman and Sam Morrell about the Reodd Comedy Festival. At
192
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.919
that point, The Guardian believes Jessica hadn't yet been booked,
193
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.840
but she indicated she'd be into performing in the region.
194
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.919
Sam Morrell points out she's a gay Jewish woman. Jessica
195
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.960
said I wouldn't do any game material there at all,
196
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.159
and ad she would steer clear of Jewish material too. However,
197
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.440
she was into how well the Kingdom treats its guests,
198
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.399
saying you get treated like gold. It's five star, crazy treatment,
199
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.200
hotels and car service and food and they really take
200
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.440
care of you. John Marco Saraisi was on CNN with
201
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.759
Jake Tamper. John Marco addressed the Riod Comedy Festival, which
202
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:08.159
he is not part of.
203
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.919
I think those comedians that performed, next time they get
204
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.759
asked who their favorite comedian is, they should stop saying
205
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.240
George Carlin, because I think comedy has written off the
206
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:27.679
name of speaking truth to power, and these comedians are
207
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:32.600
allowing their images and their reputation and frankly the brand
208
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:36.360
of American stand up comedy to be exploited for propaganda.
209
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:41.759
It's embarrassing how many of these comedians that many of
210
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.559
which are incredible joke riders, are willing to agree to
211
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.039
the requirements for this festival, who are willing to slap
212
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:55.879
their face onto the flyer, and it's embarrassing for the
213
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:56.360
art form.
214
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.919
CNN s Jake Tamper wasn't familiar with some of the contracts. Here,
215
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.000
John Marco explains what Otsco at Kotska had shared with everyone.
216
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.360
Yeah, I think it's I think it's worse because, you know,
217
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.799
I think there's lines. Listen, if if you have, if
218
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.600
you have some kids who're trying to put through school,
219
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.240
maybe a little bit less. But some of these comics
220
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.120
they got nothing to support at home, They got brand deals,
221
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.879
they're making millions. They don't need to do this. Maybe
222
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.960
they're in it for the adventure. And I say, if
223
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.679
you're in it for the adventure, why don't you produce
224
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.799
a local show there without the requirements. I think it's
225
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.320
embarrassing to go on stage and tell jokes that if
226
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.519
some of the audience members tweeted from their own personal
227
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.120
accounts could lead to them being executed. I think that's
228
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.799
embarrassing one of them. I think we need to bring
229
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.200
back some shame.
230
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.879
What are the requirements you're talking about, because I haven't
231
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.679
seen any of the contracts or anything.
232
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.639
Sure, Otkokotsika, a phenomenal comedian who turned down the festival
233
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.000
post to them. I can read them for you. There.
234
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.200
They're quite long, so feel free to cut me off.
235
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:00.200
Well, just give me the eye.
236
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.919
You'll not prepare or perform any short you shall not
237
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.039
bring into disrepute, contempt, scandal, embarrassment, or ridicule. A the
238
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.320
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including its leadership, public figures, culture
239
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.960
of people, be the Saudi royal family, legal system, or government.
