00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.599
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
2
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.960
I'm laughing because I sound different in my own ears.
3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.839
My dog ate my headphones, so I'm using actually today
4
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.239
a bear I got from the airline. And you know
5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.719
what great quality airline headphones are. I digress. Tonight is
6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.800
the Oscars. I did a preview episode of the Oscars yesterday,
7
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.600
if you want to check that out, and we'll talk
8
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.560
about Shane Gillis hosting Saturday Night Live. We'll talk about
9
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.159
that tomorrow as well. Bill Burr called Elon Musk an
10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.119
effing baby and just like Hitler. This happened on Bill
11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:45.520
Burr's podcast. Apparently Twitter had flagged Bill Burr's account after
12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:50.000
Burr had made fun of Elon Musk's awkward wave. Bill said,
13
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.159
when I'm to the Twitter guy guy lost his effing mind.
14
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.359
That effing Twitter guy he literally see kyled. He did
15
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.359
just hile. You can accidentally hile, but when he had
16
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.600
to see you mean it first, I'd say it was funny.
17
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.759
I made fun another Twitter guy for seek Hilingk not
18
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.159
once twice. And I never look at my emails. I'll
19
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.079
scroll through my emails, and it said my Twitter can't
20
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.159
have been flagged. I don't even tweet anymore. What an
21
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.400
e F and baby just like Hitler an EF and baby.
22
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.239
Burr then goes on to rant how Hitler was one
23
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:17.000
of the biggest effing cowards ever for killing himself instead
24
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.519
of facing the music. Burr then went on to rant
25
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.239
about Hiller, calling Hitler one of the biggest cowards ever
26
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.480
for killing himself instead of facing the music. At the
27
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.719
end of World War Two. It's been a lot of
28
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.400
Bill Burr press. He's out promoting Glengarry Glenn Ross right now,
29
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.640
and I'm starting to wonder is Bill gonna lose the
30
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.159
old fans? And I'm not sure why I'm feeling that,
31
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.959
but I'm feeling it. I think it's a combination of
32
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.519
being overexposed a little too much Bill Burr lately. And
33
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.319
I've said that about a few comedians. Tim Gaffigan needs
34
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.719
to tap the breaks, Nikki Glazer needs to tap the brakes.
35
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.959
I feel like there's just a little bit much to
36
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.000
Bill Burr and the Bill Burr were increasingly getting is
37
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.719
some sort of mainstream media Bill Burr and not the
38
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.000
quote unqute angry Bill bur of his youth. Bill's got
39
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.519
a special coming up later this month, so we'll be
40
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.879
getting a lot of bill press in the next few weeks.
41
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.159
May Martin spoke to The La Times. May has made
42
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.000
a rock album. The La Times asked, May, this is
43
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.159
obviously a tense time for a non binary Canadian comedian
44
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.960
in the US, I holding up. May said, like everybody,
45
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.400
I'm full of existential dread and trying not to let
46
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.439
the doom permeate too much and not to be paralyzed
47
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.520
by how hopeless it all feels right now, because I
48
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.719
know that it's not hopeless, it just feels like such
49
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.800
a massive step back. I have a lot of friends
50
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.800
who are articulate activists, and I tried to take my
51
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.159
clues from them La Times. This election cycle showed how
52
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.439
some elements of stand up comedy culture drive a lot
53
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.599
to the far right. With President Trump going on, Joe
54
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.319
Rogan and Tony Hinchcliffe performing at a Trump rally. Dave
55
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.599
Chappelle arguably contributed to the current anti trans backlash in
56
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.560
his work. The question is an unnerving to see people
57
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.960
with backgrounds and stand up having this direct line to
58
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.879
the far right in power. May said, yeah, it's very strange,
59
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.080
but I could see where they met. Because governments reach
60
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.599
into reality TV. Now you've got the host of the Apprentice.
61
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:57.840
Of course he's going to want to talk to that
62
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.080
host of Fear Factor. That's funny. But those guys you're referencing,
63
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.319
they're not part of my comedy community. I don't think
64
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.080
about them. What I want is for you to engage
65
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.360
in combat with them. I'd rather be aligned with qualified
66
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.919
people and thinkers and scientists. I hope that the heroes
67
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.560
of mine are still fighting the good fight and not
68
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.240
falling into this perception that the enemy is the WOLP left.
69
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.120
The San Diego Union Tribune caught up with Jerry Seinfeld
70
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.639
and Jim gaff again. They asked, Jim, one of your
71
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.680
favorite comedy topics has been your weight battle. As your
72
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.960
perspective on food changed, and do you and Jerry eat
73
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.680
together one on tour? Gaffigan said, Jerry eats more during
74
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.879
the day than anyone I've ever seen, and I'm an eater.
75
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.400
He eats breakfast and then eats lunch. Then come around
76
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.360
five o'clock he so discipline he stops eating. I have
77
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.120
no discipline, but I'm more of a late night eater,
78
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.080
which is probably the healthiest time to do it, especially
79
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.759
a big stake at Burgers. Then I can climb in
80
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.560
bed and see how many nightmares I have. The great
81
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.879
thing about an appetite suppressant is that I still have
82
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.159
the desire, but just consume like a human being rather
83
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.520
than a dog. That got a laugh out of Jerry.
84
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.800
The conversation moved to the current news cycle. Jim said,
85
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.800
we live in such a twenty four hour news cycle.
86
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.159
I'd like to give these people the audience credit that
87
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.400
they're mourning whatever crisis, man or natural. But at the
88
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.159
shows they got out of their way not to acknowledge that.
89
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.560
I'd say that after nine to eleven it was weird performing,
90
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.000
But otherwise, humans are always looking to embrace denial. Jerry said,
91
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:10.639
We're never in a good place. It doesn't matter what's
92
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:11.960
going on in the world. I went to the premiere
93
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.400
of Amy Schumer's new movie Kind of Pregnant and sat
94
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.399
in a pack movie theater and everybody laughed their heads
95
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.040
off from start to finish. Really, Jerry, everybody laughed their
96
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.680
heads off and kind of pregnant. Who was in the audience.
97
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.680
I digress. Jerry says, that's what a comedy show is.
98
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.680
You're enjoying the movie, but also fifty percent of the
99
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.560
fun as being around people who were laughing, and everybody
100
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.920
forgets what they were upset about. What an amazing feeling
101
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.800
it was to sit in an audience. It's like Jurassic
102
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.839
Park with dinosaur rides. Good question here, what are some
103
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.519
of the things making you laugh right now? Jerry said,
104
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:40.519
I've been thinking about the number of different fake identities.
105
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.720
I seem to be a husband and father. I actually
106
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.839
had a chameleon and the cute little lizard asked me,
107
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.079
how are you able to transform yourself like that? And
108
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.079
I said to the lizard, coming from you, that's a
109
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.959
real compliment. I got to laugh out of Jim. Jerry continued,
110
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.120
I've learned her audiences really think that I'm this person
111
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.319
who is thoughtful and empathetic to their problems and interested
112
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.160
in their day, and they're buying it. Jim has said,
113
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.199
I'm going to a middle score basketball game today and then
114
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.199
a girls high school basketball game after that, and there's
115
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.480
some anxiety in my life. It's very raw rod the games,
116
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.920
and I think you shouldn't say anything. I'm amazing parents
117
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:09.560
that lose it at these games. I can't believe they
118
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.560
really care. I'm always nervous about committing to the kids' games,
119
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.120
so don't know what the schedule is. The last thing
120
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:15.399
you want to say is I'll be there and don't
121
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.120
show up, and there's ten years of therapy. Jerry commented,
122
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.000
if your father showed up but everything you did, you'd think,
123
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.560
what's wrong with him? Is dad? Okay? Jim said, my
124
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.360
dad came to a couple of football games, but it
125
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:25.839
would be weird if he came to everything. Now, if
126
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.720
you don't go to a game, you're consider the great
127
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.040
Satan parents. I will tell you those years go fast.
128
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:32.720
I feel like it was five minutes ago. I was
129
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.759
the coach of some five year old Rex soccer kids
130
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.519
and they're all graduating college. Now it goes so fast.
131
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.560
Enjoy all those games. I disagree with Jim and Jerry.
132
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.519
Make every game that you can. This has been my
133
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.079
first fall, and now spring is an empty nester and
134
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.800
I two weeks ago, I said to my wife, it's
135
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.680
six thirty eight pm and I've watched two movies already.
136
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.319
I don't know what to do with myself. Now, once
137
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.839
it gets warm, I'll go out sign we'll go hiking
138
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.240
and hiking being generous walking out in the forest somewhere.
139
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.399
I start doing that and I'll start running again. But
140
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.439
it has just been so cold. I've just been watching everything.
141
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.639
Have you watched Paradise yet? By the way, watch Paradise.
142
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.560
This weekend's episode of Paradise was one of the top
143
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.040
episodes of television ever. No qualifier. There, Did you hear
144
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.639
me what I said? This weekend's Paradise was one of
145
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.480
the best episodes of television ever. No qualifier. I'm not
146
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:26.680
going to tell you what the show's about. I'm not
147
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.720
going to tell you why I'm saying that. Just watch Paradise.
148
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.639
It's on Hulu. I digress again. Rosebud Baker talked to
149
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.680
The Hollywood Reporter. They were curious how she finds the
150
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.120
difference between watching her self perform as opposed to watching
151
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.040
the SNL cast perform their materials she writes for SNL.
152
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.199
Great question, Rosebud said, I get the same juice from it.
153
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.120
I really love getting a win. That means getting people
154
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.160
to laugh, whether or not I'm the person performing it.
155
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.240
It's funny. When I started as a stand up I
156
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.120
didn't think I wanted to write stuff that someone else
157
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:53.759
got to do. But now it's a really good feeling.
158
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.639
And the thing about SNL is that it's collective wins.
159
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.199
You don't necessarily get credit for your specific liner joke,
160
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.160
but when it's a loss, it's a collective life. Rosebud.
161
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.040
Was it like getting back to stand up after having
162
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.480
the baby? Rosebud said, the first time going back on
163
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.079
stage was wild. I felt like I had gone to
164
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:08.639
space and come back and I was like, I went
165
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.480
to space, and Everybody's like, yeah, Okay, we've seen his
166
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.319
pictures of space, and I'm like, but these are my
167
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.600
pictures of space. They're mine. You feel so weirdly separate
168
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.480
from the world, and especially from the comedy world. I
169
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.959
had to find my footing. Hollywood Reporter, you have a
170
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.639
few jokes in the special about feeling as though men
171
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.240
are useless when going through things like IVF. Do men
172
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.600
get the absurdity of the gender gaps and those experiences?
173
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.720
Rosebud said, Look, the short answer is I don't care.
174
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.600
The longer answer is if men are able to watch
175
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.560
it laugh at it, that doesn't make me happy, because
176
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.480
I do want comedy to be a unifying thing. That's
177
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.920
what I aim for. That being said when I was
178
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.680
writing this, I was thinking of women because I was
179
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.879
writing from my perspective. I thought, this one's for the girlies.
180
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.480
But I've been surprised that the number of men that
181
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.720
have responded to the special. I don't hate it. I'll
182
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.319
take the win. And then they were curious what part
183
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.800
of SNL fifty she liked, and she said I was
184
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.079
lucky enough, lucky ish because it's a double edged sword.
185
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:56.879
But I did get the week of the fiftieth off
186
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.120
because it was the senior writers and the alumni who
187
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.000
were writing for the special. So I was just able
188
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.839
to enjoy the show on the party, which was really nice.
189
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.120
It helped remind me what a legendary place this is
190
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:06.480
to work. You can lose sight of that when you
191
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.720
come in every day. Your heroes are hanging on the walls,
192
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.879
but that doesn't always sink in being there at that show.
193
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.399
It really sunk in how lucky I am. This is
194
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.680
part of comedy history and I got to be there.
195
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.879
That rosebud piece reminded me that I hadn't seen any
196
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.560
press about George Lopez at all. Remember, he had a
197
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.240
comedy special that came and went and nobody talked about it.
198
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.959
And as of this recording I haven't watched yet. Let
199
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.160
me type George Lopez into Google's see what comes up.
200
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.759
George Lopez is almost unrecognizable now with long hair. George
201
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.159
is only sixty three and he's retiring. That's curious. Let's see, yep,
202
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.279
from a month ago, all these articles about his hair.
203
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.679
So he apparently did no press for that special. That's
204
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.600
just weird, really weird. Let's file that away in the
205
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.080
back of our mind because sometime in the next x
206
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.120
years we're gonna find out why there was no press
207
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.120
for this special. I've been doing this for a while.
208
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.279
There's gonna be something there. Colin Jill dug through twelve
209
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.279
dumpsters of trash trying to find wife Scarlett Johansson's lost
210
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.639
engagement ring. Colin told a story on Pop Culture Jeopardy
211
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.080
and said it was a great day for me. One time,
212
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.559
Scarlett told Jost she thought she might have accidentally thrown
213
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.759
the ring in the trash. Colin goes through twelve dumpsters
214
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.080
and says, I went back to the house and she said, oops,
215
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.519
it was in my pocket. I understand. I'm somebody who
216
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.799
I don't know. Nine times a day will ask my wife,
217
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.639
have you seen my keys and they're in my hand?
218
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.840
Or have you seen my phone and they're in my pocket?
219
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.120
And I'll find my keys on my phone and my
220
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.000
keys will be in my pocket. I'm that person you
221
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.200
don't want to live with me. Rachel Dratch is bringing
222
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.200
her comedic talent to the Uniworld Boutique River Cruise inaugural
223
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.720
women only cruise. Yes, do you want to sail through
224
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.679
France on the SS Catherine beginning August twenty fourth, Rachel
225
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.240
Dratch will be there. The crew says, we're beyond excited
226
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.480
to welcome the incredibly talented and hilarious Rachel Dratch aboard
227
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.879
our special women only cruise. This cruise is all about
228
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.919
bringing women together to new experiences, create friendships, and enjoy
229
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.240
plenty of laughter along the way. So is this the
230
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.559
new thing cruises? No, men, I'll remind you, we have
231
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.159
our own cruise. It's called Burt Krascher's fully loaded at sea.
232
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.200
So if you want to take your shirt off and
233
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.120
do manly man stuff, yeah, Bert Krescher does these. It
234
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.519
doesn't look like there's a new one scheduled, but there
235
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.080
is the Nate Berghazy Cruise coming up. Now that one's
236
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.440
probably family friendly, right. I don't think we'd be taking
237
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.799
our shirt off and doing whatever us guys do when
238
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.159
the women aren't around. We're not gonna be doing that
239
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.320
on the Nate cruise. That's for the Burt Cruise. But
240
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.440
there's no Burt Cruise scheduled right now. Look at the pictures.
241
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.720
Looks like it was fun anyway. The Trick comedy news
242
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.480
for today. All right, we'll talk Oscars in Shane Gillis
243
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.840
in the morning. See you then,
