00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.720
Caalorokashock media. Wow, big hot news just came in. I
2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.160
am Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news, A daily
3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.879
briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry.
4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.039
A sentence the algorithm loves. So I just in in
5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.800
my world. I recorded Sunday, and then what you do
6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.600
is you recorded. I use a program called Logic on
7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.760
my MacBook and you then you have to bounce the
8
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.160
file so it mixes down everything, and then you send
9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.039
it off somewhere and that takes like a minute. So
10
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.280
during that I did what I usually do and I
11
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.079
checked my email. Now this is not in my script.
12
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.240
This just hit my inbox. I'm doing this as cold
13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.640
as it gets. The headline Netflix is a joke festival.
14
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.920
Just added one hundred and seventy plus shows added to
15
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.679
Netflix is a joke festival. So you're getting this as
16
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.359
I'm getting it, unless, of course, you read the email
17
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.640
on Friday afternoon. Again, I'm not working with a script.
18
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.759
Let me scroll down here. Is there actual No, there's
19
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.280
just a lot of artwork. So I'm gonna have to
20
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.200
see if they sent this out to deadline or something.
21
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.680
But let's just do it. This way. This is fun.
22
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:07.879
This is how the show gets put together. Okay, this
23
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.560
is a graphic thing. They have announced comedy for the community,
24
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.920
the Altadna Eaton Fire Relief, hosted by Dion Coldion's Fantastic
25
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.120

26
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:24.159
of May. Individual shows from rosewud Baker Cheryl Underwood. This
27
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.959
is an interesting title. The end Ari Shaffer's renamed Storytelling show.
28
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.359
I guess others on the rights to the various this
29
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.760
is not happening. Tag it with the scar Brothers, Chris O'Connor,
30
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.640
Jay Jorden, Ron Funches, Cristella Alonso and friends, Guy Tory
31
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.040
and so many more and in the end, so many more,
32
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.959
Box Mally, Kearney, Yakoff, Smirnoff in a bunch All right,
33
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:49.959
let's bunch over our deadline. Let's see if there's a
34
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.159
story there. We are producing the show live on tape,
35
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.079
my friends. Nothing there, We'll check variety. This is how
36
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.799
the show gets put together. I could edit this out. No,
37
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.599
no there either. Also, Friday afternoon is a weird time
38
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.719
to announce anything. No, hasn't hit the wires yet. Maybe
39
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.960
I'll have more for you tomorrow. My original number one
40
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.840

stand up show where the audience is the main material.

00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.080
Looks like dropouts all over this thing. They'll also host
61
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.240
Dirty Laundry, which is for guests telling secrets and then
62
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.319
you have to guess who the secrets belong to, and

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.000
you can also have some beverages. Drop Out improv in

on show for a night of varied games and freewheeling comedy.
66
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.960
Facebook Presents Stand Up Comedy. Now maybe like twenty years ago,
67
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.479
that sentence sounds cool. That just sounds really vanilla corporate.
68
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.159
It's titled Facebook Presents stand Up Comedy. Could you just
69
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.919
suck all the cool out of that sentence? Facebook is
70
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.800
excited to present an unforgettable evening of stand up comedy
71
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.439
where the global stage meets the comedy stage. Exclamation point.
72
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.439
With three billion people connecting on Facebook globally every month,
73
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.639
comedians are able to showcase their talent and grow their
74
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.719
audience around the world. Now we're bringing this vibrant community
75
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.560
to south By Southwest Comedy. Oh my god, that is
76
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.479
so corporate. Please south By has gotten really, I mean,
77
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.400
this is just this is like the establishment pretending that
78
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.520
they're all the next up. Fox Entertainment Studios Comedy Showcase
79
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.680
featuring The Dress Up Gang and Friends. Let me read
80
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.079
that again because I deliberately skipped the last four words.
81
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.040
Look be the full title this time. Fox Entertainment Studios
82
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.319
Comedy Showcase featuring The Dress Up Gang and Friends, hosted
83
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.560
by Bill Burr. Bill Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, you had
84
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.720
a terrible You had a terrible, terrible twenty twenty five.
85
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.600
You had I think the worst year of any of
86
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.160
the big comedians. Last year. You just lost the plot, Buddy.
87
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.040
And now Bill Burr's hosting the Fox Entertainment Studios Comedy
88
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.480
Showcase featuring the Dress Up Gang and Friends. Bill, just
89
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.480
call your nex special. I'm in this for the money.
90
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.600
I know we're all in this for the money. I'm
91
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.279
hosting this podcast right now so I can run some
92
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.519
commercials during the break. I'm in this for the money.
93
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.120
But let's just be honest, Bill, the coolness is gone.
94
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.399
What are you doing? Bill? Hosted Biami and Grammy nominated
95
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.319
comedian actor and director Bill Burr. The evening embodies the bold,
96
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.879
fearless spirit of the Fox Comedy brand. Guys, The Fox
97
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:17.360
Comedy brand is Dennis Leary's military show. What is that
98
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.680
called Going Dutch? That's the Fox Comedy brand. The Fox
99
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.160
Comedy brand is Joel Mchall's Animal Patrol or whatever that's called.
100
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.120
That's the brand if you want to tell me, but
101
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.439
the Simpsons. The Simpsons came out in the eighties. Guys,
102
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.959
Bill Burr, face of the fearless Fox Comedy brand, Funny
103
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.040
or Die Approved, in partnership with the stand Funny or
104
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.879
Die is resurrecting their legendary live comedy legacy. Think the
105
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.959
spirit of the original epic oddball festivals back and blessed
106
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.720
by the comedy gods themselves. This isn't just another stand
107
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.600
up show. It's a handpicked, ruthlessly curated night of comedy
108
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.480
that's earned the ultimate stamp Funny or Die Approved, and
109
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.839
it's hosted by peat Lee The Gotham Comedy. For nearly
110
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.639
thirty years, Gotham has been one of New York's top
111
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.839
stand up venues. That is true. They're good guys over there,
112
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.800
like them. Used to regularly see them back in the
113
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.560
day when I worked at the Old Place. My favorite
114
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.800
lyrics live. Welcome to the first ever live recording of
115
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.279
Devin Walker's podcast, My favorite lyrics, the show where we
116
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.759
talk about music lyrics. The Stand is producing a couple shows. Okay,
117
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.759
now we're doing on time. I feel like I'm long already.
118
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.759
Now we got some time still. Okay. You know who's
119
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.439
coming out with a book, Dusty Sligh. Yeah, you know
120
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.879
what Dusty Slay called his book. That's right, he's calling
121
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.560
it We're having a good time. I guess that makes sense.
122
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.000
What else Wouldusty Slay call his book? That's his catchphrase
123
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.360
in We're having a good time. Dusty Slay looks back
124
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.480
in his early days, including dropping out of college at
125
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.600
age eighteen and getting arrested at nineteen, which interrupted his
126
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.399
plans to join the army. In his early twenties, Dusty
127
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.120
Slay left his Alabama hometown for Charleston, South Carolina, where
128
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.160
he worked in a seafood restaurant while building a stand
129
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.839
up career. During evening open mics, Dusty Sleigh recounts his
130
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.560
journey from pesticide salesperson to touring comedian, along with stories
131
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.839
from his childhood performances and more. The book teases his
132
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.160
trademark humor and wit I have it on my calendar
133
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:13.959
this morning to reach out to the publicist and see
134
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.720
if I can get Dusty Sleigh on this show, which
135
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.360
reminds me I forgot I got distracted by the Netflix email.
136
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.360
If you skipped the weekend shows Saturday, Pete Holmes for
137
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.839
forty minutes was really good. Make sure you go back
138
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.120
and listen to that one. Love Pete, Dusty's and I
139
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:27.839
wanted to write this book to capture some of the
140
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.600
stories that I think are really funny, orterest thing, but
141
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.199
have never made it to the stage. Now this next one,
142
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.160
I might have to leave my house, which would just
143
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.000
be amazing. And I'm not going to leave my house,
144
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.160
but just down the road for me. At the Horseshoe
145
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.560
Tavern in Morristown, New Jersey, ron On Hirschberg is performing
146
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.759
at Horseshoe. I hang out at the brewery, which is differently.
147
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.439
It's the breweries where the trivia guys go horseshoes for
148
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.759
the young kids. Although sometimes this if you're from this area,
149
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.360
you know who the nerds are. They're like, this is
150
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.680
a local legend cover band. They're really a lot of fun.
151
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.000
They play horseshoes sometimes, but horshes for the young kids.
152
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.720
But tonight it's poor him. A comedy night at the
153
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.879
Horseshoe Tavern Ronnin Hirschberg will be there. Rabbi Moishe Gerwitz
154
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.639
as Purim is about joy, resilience, and Jewish pride. Comedy
155
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.000
night is a way to celebrate the holiday in a fun, meaningful,
156
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.879
and uplifting way. I love this. So if your local
157
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.439
head on over to the Horseshoe Tavern, we're told security
158
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.439
we'll be present to ensure it is safe and welcoming
159
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.639
environment for all attendees. Now, as it turns out, I
160
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.199
happen to have a Ronin Hirschberg. Oh my god, I
161
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.000
was about to tell you that people keep calling me.
162
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.080
Hold on, I have to take this phone call. Hey John,
163
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.200
all right, I made an edit there. I'm all discombobulated.
164
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.039
I even get to tell you that my wife called
165
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.879
in the middle of the Ronin Hirschberg story. But that
166
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.399
was the hot tub guy I've mentioned. It was like
167
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.480
negative of forty degrees for like six months. I think
168
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.200
hot tub sprung a leak. Can have to run some
169
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.240
more ads. Buy me a coffee, you might have to
170
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:54.679
buy me, let me do some math. You might have
171
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.080
for buy me four hundred coffees and buy me a coffee.
172
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.600
Dot Cops last daily comedy. It is to fix the
173
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.960
hot tap. Oh my goodness, first world problems, where worry.
174
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.960
I'm trying to tell you. I could edit all this out,
175
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.960
but that's not fun. I'm trying to tell you this
176
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.360
Ronin Hirschberg story. But my wife called and like now,
177
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.360
and I scrolled down and I lost it and I'm
178
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.600
all discombobulated now and I had this all pulled together?
179
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:20.120
Where did that story even go? Ronin Hirschberg was found it.
180
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.399
Ron Hersberg was profiled by the Telegraph in twenty twenty two.
181
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.080
Hirschberg opened for Louis c. K in Germany, and he
182
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.639
said they laughed at every joke because they feel so guilty.
183
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:32.559
I said I was Jewish, and they gave me a
184
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.679
standing ovation. He had a little more serious. I think
185
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.679
there was a time when Germans couldn't laugh about that stuff,
186
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.559
but now they're happy to let me make fun of them.
187
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.039
Hirschberg says his early tries and stand up. We're just
188
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.600
trying to make rednecks laugh. Then he moved to New York.
189
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.120
He talked about his complicated relationship with the arts and said,
190
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.720
I think as a Jew It's a little easier for
191
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.360
me to separate the art from the artist because I've
192
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.120
had a love so many great artists who are anti Semitic, Shakespeare, Dickens,
193
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.600
basically any writer before nineteen fifty. Hirschberg appeared on The
194
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.600
Joe Rogan Experience and said, I hate Joe Rogan. I
195
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.559
think he's a danger to society. He's always spreading misinformation.
196
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.600
The only way I'd ever go on his podcast is
197
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.320
if he asked me. Rogan did ask, and on twenty
198
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.639
twenty four they talked about everything from having children to
199
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.639
conspiracy theories. Hirschberg says Rogan was extremely nice to me.
200
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.360
A lot of my anger towards him started later. I
201
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.440
didn't make fun of him until hen On Elon Musk
202
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.080
defending the defunding of US aid that was such a
203
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.120
horrible atrocity, and to see him there with Joe Rogan
204
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.080
laughing his stupid jokes and made me furious. I don't
205
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.480
think Joe Rogan has bad intentions, but I do think
206
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.000
he's an agenda to attack the credibility of academia and
207
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.639
mainstream journalism, and that's really dangerous. Like endorsing Trump using
208
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.360
his influence to help him get elected. If you can't
209
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.279
get mad at someone for that, who can you get
210
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.399
mad at? I'm exhausted. I don't know why this particular
211
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.759
episode that you're listening to right now is taking a
212
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.039
lot out of me. I don't know if it's the
213
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.320
phone calls or the distractions, or my computer's jumping all
214
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:51.879
over the pages. I'm trying to read a script I
215
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.279
don't know. Coming up at noon today, Comedy Survivor. The
216
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.159
results are incredible. I had so much fun recording the
217
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.200
results of Comedy Survivors. So you'll find out who went home.
218
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.440
But there's also a new fascinating twist in all this.
219
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.279
And I didn't invent the twist. The AI did. The
220
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.360
AI pointed something out. Every week I throw the votes
221
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.240
into the AI just to check my work, and the
222
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.600
AI has identified you know what. Come back at noon
223
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.720
and you'll find out what the AI identified. If just
224
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.279
I'm fascinated by this. It's so much fun. If you're
225
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.279
new to Comedy Survivor, it's a distinct legal parody of
226
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.559
whatever you think I'm at, distinctly legally parodying. It's called
227
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.720
Comedy Survivor Or. We put sixteen comedians on an island
228
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.799
and every week the Facebook group votes someone off the island.
229
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:38.639
What you do is you go to Daily Comedy News
230
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.480
podcast group after noon Eastern today Monday. You'll see a
231
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.480
drawing of me and the latest person voted off the island,
232
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.600
and in there you will write down the name of
233
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.360
one of the people who remain. Come back at noon.
234
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.679
I'll explain all that then currently still on the island.
235
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.080
Only I know if she's been voted off or not.
236
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:02.000
Otsgo at Cotska is becoming a celebrity man. She's working
237
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.720
to pair two lucky singles and transport them to an
238
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.879
anti approved first date to Singapore thanks to the Singapore
239
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.200
Tourism Board. Hey Singapore Tourism Board, you got any extra
240
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.240
ad money? I got a hot tupper pair. Plus I've
241
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.440
never been to Singapore. I'll go. I'll read anything. Otsko
242
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.720
says it's more important than ever to lean on the
243
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.840
matriarchal support system of anties, especially in dating. She explained
