00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.279
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.080
I was just looking at the recent
episodes that were a little longer. You

3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.600
know. Sometimes I finished these that
I'm like, oh, it's only like

4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.920
ten minutes, and then sometimes they're
like nineteen depends on how much news there

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.640
is. Media Height took a listen
to the Joe Rogan podcast. I'm going

6
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:31.199
to push back on their first four
words here they wrote, comedy legend Bobby

7
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.280
Lee has a new movie, or
time out comedy legend Bobby Lee. Really,

8
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.960
here's what I want you to do. I want you to go outside

9
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.079
right now and find one hundred people, and I want you to ask one

10
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.320
hundred people who is Bobby Lee.
Let me know how many people go,

11
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.640
oh yeah, comedian comedy legend.
Bobby Lee has a new movie coming out,

12
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.200
and he wanted to talk about it
while he was on Joe Rogan's podcast.

13
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.719
If only Rogan would let him this
for Media Height, Bobby and Rogan

14
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.560
shared a bunch of stories about the
comedy scene, how it's change, how

15
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.879
their politics have changed, and Rogan
started ranting about COVID restrictions, the deep

16
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.359
state, the two thousand election,
the twenty twenty election. Meani I quotes

17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.480
Rogan is saying this one. I
think, man, Okay, I think

18
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.200
evil's real, and I think evil
exists in many forms, and it exists

19
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.120
in callous disregard for loss of life
or profit. That's evil, right,

20
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.840
And that's the thing. Like you
could say evil is the devil. You

21
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.640
could say evil is Satan and evil
as demons, and evil is you know,

22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.920
exorcism and stuff. You know,
look at that baby. But also

23
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.400
evil is profit over human life,
which is real evil as cobalt minds and

24
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.239
the congo. When you watch pregnant
women mining for cobalt getting toxic fumes in

25
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.640
their lungs, whether some of them
have babies on their back, that's evil.

26
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.599
They're living in dirt floors with no
sanitation. It's horrific conditions. And

27
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.680
that's in everybody's cell phone. And
everybody's cell phone is the labor of essentially

28
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.280
people so poor they don't have to
choose whether their slaves or not. They're

29
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.640
just there's no other option for them
to work Bobby Lee's size. A few

30
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.560
times, Rogan continues, it's not
an obligation to pay attention to everything,

31
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.840
Okay, but it's something that I
think would help people break out of the

32
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.159
cult, because that cult it's like, you think you're a good person if

33
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.040
you buy hook line and sink or
everything that the left says. That's crazy.

34
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.680
These are the same people that want
war. These are the same people

35
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.640
that are encouraging censorship. These are
the same people that are trying to silence

36
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.879
descent. That's all solitarian stuff.
And just because it's done for trans kids,

37
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.080
for Black Lives Matter, for any
social cause he think is like undeniably

38
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.759
worthy, it's still the same thing. At the end of the day.

39
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.599
The Patriot Acts still control people in
a way that was never allowed before,

40
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.400
and it did under the guys that
we have to stop a terrorist attack.

41
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.000
So even if they did do evil
stuff to make these things happen, once

42
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.159
these things happen, they take advantage
by doing evil stuff and they enact control

43
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.319
over the people that had never done
before. The redistribution of wealth was insane.

44
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.919
We did redistribution. Well, it's
big corporations, companies. Oh my

45
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.199
god, so many people did.
Billions of dollars has moved. Bobby Lee

46
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.319
jumps in and goes, yeah,
well, you want to talk about the

47
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.840
movie That's why I read all that. Bobby said, yeah, it stresses

48
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.680
me out. You want to talk
about the movie? Can we talk about

49
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.080
the movie? I'm promoting? Love
It? Shannon Sharp recently had Kat Williams

50
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.039
on his podcast. Did you hear
about this? Sharp told the route I

51
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.599
figured he'd go one or two minutes
and get right to it. He goes

52
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.159
with thirty minutes. Now I gotta
make a decision to I cut them off

53
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.000
and get back to our normally scheduled
programming. Do I let him go?

54
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.319
I let him go. When it
wrapped up, Shannon Sharp saw his producer

55
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.280
is shaking his head, and Shannon
said, wait, did I do something

56
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.520
wrong? Producer said it was going
to break the internet? And I said,

57
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.680
you really think so? And he
said they're gonna be talking about this

58
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.639
all of twenty twenty four. Shannon, you don't know what you just did.

59
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.879
He was right. On day one, the interview had two and a

60
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.759
half million views. The next day
it was at fourteen million. I asked

61
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.159
him how many views you think it'll
do? He said fifty. I said

62
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.680
fifty? What fifty million? Shannon
Sharp has gotten some criticism over his lax

63
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.800
interviewing style. He said when I
found out is you let people feel comfortable

64
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.479
with you, they'll share things they
probably never shared or they haven't shared a

65
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.719
very long time, So your listener
is probably gonna be hearing it for the

66
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:38.960
first time. I'm sure there are
a lot of people saying you should have

67
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.240
DoD this, you should have done
that, But they aren't mad that I

68
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.919
Letkat Williams go. They're mad it's
in almost fifty five million views and it's

69
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.319
not on their platform. People stop
me wherever I am. People you think

70
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.120
wouldn't watch Club Shay Shay. I'm
talking about older white men, older white

71
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.840
women coming up to say, I
just want to thank you. He says

72
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.240
he feels zero pressure to replicate the
success. Shannon says, I tell people

73
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.479
I'm not gonna be Mike Jackson.
This is my thriller. Off the Wall

74
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.599
was great, Bad was great,
but what he wanted was another thriller,

75
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.960
and that's an anomaly. I'm gonna
do the best work I can and do

76
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.080
other great interviews, but I'm not
gonna make myself sick trying to hunt down

77
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.120
another guest to create another topic that
I'll do what this did. This happened

78
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.199
organically. It was the perfect storm. The website Black Girl Nerds wondered is

79
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.480
Kat Williams a top five Black comedian? A Black Girl Nerds writes, while

80
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.199
he is a comedic force to be
reckoned with, does he really have a

81
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.639
place on the mount rushmore comedians such
as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Dave

82
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.680
Chappelle, and Chris Hucker. Well, it's really challenging to put Kat Williams

83
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.680
among the top five black comedians of
all time, especially when we consider the

84
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.079
breath and impact of people like prior
Martin Lawrence. We're not trying to diminish

85
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.360
Williams's talent or influence, rather to
acknowledge the extraordinary achievement of his peers like

86
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.279
Chappelle. So yeah, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, who again is just

87
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.000
doing a Richard Pryor coveract, But
did it really really well? Dave Chappelle,

88
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.199
Chris Rock not mentioned by Black Girl
ol Nerds, at least I didn't

89
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.319
notice them mention in Chris Rock.
I think you'd absolutely have to put Chris

90
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.759
Rock in that category, which leaves
the spot are you gonna pick Martin Lawrence?

91
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.600
Chris Tucker? I'll throw out the
name Kevin Hart, we could look

92
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.120
at some of the kings of comedy. Plenty of people we could consider for

93
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.000
that fifth slot there. Speaking of
Kevin Hart, he was speaking with USA

94
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.000
today and said, since his new
movie was filmed in Italy, he ate

95
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.040
a little much. I feel you. I've been going to that smoothie place,

96
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.600
those seven hundred extra calories. Who
Johnny Mack needs to start running again.

97
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.199
I'm doing a five k with my
wife next weekend. This weekend,

98
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.319
you can tell him prepared for it. And I signed up for a fifteen

99
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.639
k. That's a nice distance.
I think I'm done with the marathons now.

100
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.920
My body. That last marathon let
me know. Hey, we're not

101
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.439
as young as we used to be, and half marathons even get a little

102
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.319
bit long. I kind of like
that fifteen k nine mile distance. It's

103
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.720
like a good run, but then
you're not wrecked the rest of the day.

104
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.279
Anyway, Kevin Hart said, things
got out of hand in Italy,

105
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.879
the food in Italy. I gain
a little weight. There was a moment

106
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.199
where I said, I gotta pull
back a little bit because this is not

107
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.959
gonna show up well on camera.
I had that last week. I was

108
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.720
at that industry conference and I stood
next to my two friends and they're both

109
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.360
thinner than I am, and my
friend Chris is a lot taller than I

110
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.639
am, and I just looked like
I don't know the George Costanza of the

111
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.480
group. I guess I remember I
took a picture once with Bruce Campbell.

112
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.439
Bruce is a handsome dude. I
look like such a droll next to him.

113
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.839
Don't take a picture with Bruce Campble. Kevin said, the way his

114
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.319
character Cyrus started out when we were
in Belfast is not the way he's ending.

115
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.759
When we were in Italy, there
was a lot of pizza pasta,

116
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.160
pasta, pizza, pizza pasta and
wine. So making sure that he had

117
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.680
dumbed it down and operated in doses, that was something I had to make

118
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.639
a priority. I'm having fun today. Pete Davidson is set to star in

119
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.240
a film adaptation of I Slept with
Joey Ramone. Bill Board reports Joey Ramone's

120
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.920
estate is seeking to block a release
of the film. A lawsuit was filed

121
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:53.879
by Johnny's widow, Linda Ramone,
who claims that Joey's brother covertly developed an

122
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.839
unapproved and unauthorized Ramones based biopick based
on his own one sided recitation of the

123
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.800
history of the Ramones. Apparently,
Joey and Johnny's estates have split ownership of

124
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.720
the ip for the Ramones. Therefore, Linda says the film can't go forward

125
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.920
without her permission. Matt Brager will
be at the Mystic Theater on Saturday,

126
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.959
and he wonders about imposter syndrome.
He says, we all wonder if we're

127
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.319
going to be found out that this
is stupid. It's fear of the imposters

128
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.399
syndrome. But the flip side of
the fear is the feeling that you're fooling

129
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.480
everybody. Sometimes you want to go
in an alley and cackle like a villain.

130
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.519
He loves comedians. His influences include
Lenny Bruce, George carl and Richard

131
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.560
Priory. Says, you have to
be a fan. He can't lose that

132
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.839
some of us may fall into the
trench of bitterness, but it's comedy.

133
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.920
After COVID nineteen, he toured less. He said, one of the best

134
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.360
things I ever did was to scale
back touring. I found a way to

135
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.279
make it work. My mental and
physical health has improved immensely. He's joined

136
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.360
a growing ranks of comedians who don't
worry about red versus blue. He says,

137
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.800
people who follow me online know how
I feel about the issues, but

138
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.920
my job as a comedian is to
illuminate my views, not seldom. I

139
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.399
love it when anyone comes to my
show. Sketch Fest is off today and

140
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.560
the folks at the eight hundred pound
Grill. I want to see Triumph last

141
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.480
week early on Triumph, the insult
comic dog says, anyone who's offended,

142
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.879
relax. All these jokes have been
cleared by Dave Chappelle. That's great,

143
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.480
Triumph continues, San Francisco is a
great town for me to poop on and

144
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.959
apparently also for humans to poop on. You guys make me feel so at

145
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.720
home. On the way to the
show, I saw so many people doing

146
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.959
my act on the guest list,
good list, and a good introduction by

147
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.800
Triumph. On the guest list.
Adam Savage from MythBusters Triumph said, tonight

148
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.159
you're busting the myth that you're gainfully
employed. Rap Schneider. We've got a

149
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:35.360
MythBuster and a myth spreader and weird
Al Yankovic. So many people kept their

150
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.399
virginity to your music the eightard pound
Guerrilla Rights, one of the standouts of

151
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.879
the show where the audio answers these
were all weird Al parodies that weird Al

152
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.879
never actually wrote, but instead we're
written by Smigel in the style of Al.

153
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.279
Triumph enlisted some celebrity guests to come
out and sing the hits, including

154
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.519
Thomas Lennon, Dave Hill, and
Amber Ruffin the Gorilla Rights, you have

155
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.480
to admire just how much went into
producing a show like that. The game

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.720
show portion alone featured over forty questions
and joke answers, which occasionally the contestants

157
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.759
even got right. Triumph would give
points if the answer is meaner than what

158
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.840
he intended for the question. In
the state of California, anyone found guilty

159
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.159
of anti trans hate speech is automatically
given this. Weird Al said, what

160
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.279
are tickets and backstage passes to a
Rob Schneider show? I have four more

161
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.320
stories, but I have learned get
out on the good laugh. That's it.

162
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.879
That's your comedy news for today.
I'll save the rest for tomorrow. See y
