00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.000
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Happy Friday. I'm Johnny Mack
2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.439
with your daily comedy news. I'm trying to bring back
3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.239
the late night joke segment on Friday, but the jokes
4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.280
just haven't been there. The only joke I really felt
5
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.440
like sharing was from Fallon, who said President Trump, after
6
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.879
not being seen in public for several days, appeared in
7
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.440
the Oval Office, which means it's six more weeks of dictatorship.
8
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.200
Your letters to Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel will be coming
9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.960
to Brooklyn. He'll record at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's
10
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.479
Howard Gilman Opera House September twenty nine through October third.
11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.479
One of the guests will be Stephen Colbert, who has
12
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.079
just kicked off the final season of The Late Show.
13
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.600
Oh that reminds me. Listen to last week's Letterman podcast.
14
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.119
Not the one that came out today. I have no idea.
15
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.359
Maybe today's is awesome. Didn't listen to it yet, but
16
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.600
the one that came out last Friday, Mark Malkoff drop by.
17
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.159
They start to talking Carson. At some point Mitch Hedberg
18
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.439
came up, really good. Listen to that one from Deadline
19
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.120
the headline, there were signs that Please Don't Destroy was
20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.280
coming to an end on SNL. Oh No Deadline says
21
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.799
the trio radically reduced the amount of videos they produced
22
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.719
for the show last year. Well, it was also the
23
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.200
fiftieth anniversary, and there was a lot of big celebrities
24
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.719
across twenty one episodes. In season forty nine, they had
25
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.079
done ten. In season forty eight, they had done eleven
26
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.239
in their first year. They got seven on and also
27
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.640
Ben Marshall will be one of the full time cast
28
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.840
members of SNL fifty one. From GQ, the headline, J
29
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.480
Kelly should finally met Adam Sandler the Oscar he deserves.
30
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.159
I agree. I haven't seen the movie, but just on principle,
31
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.120
Adam Sandler doing a dramatic role and not a stupid comedy,
32
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.799
Let's give him the Oscar just for that. GQ wrights,
33
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.760
We've always known that Adam Sandler has the range. It's
34
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.920
the thrilling to see when the Sandman breaks his pattern,
35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.079
and with Jay Kelly he delivers one of his most
36
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.280
subdued performances. It also happens to be one of his greatest.
37
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.319
Adam Sandler plays Ron, the longtime manager to Jay Kelly,
38
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.840
who's played by George Clooney. The character j Kelly is
39
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:11.280
a charismatic magnet, attracting attention everywhere he moves. He's lonely
40
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.759
but never alone, surrounded by a team that circles him
41
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.680
like subservient vultures. GQ tells us the beauty of Sandler's
42
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.199
performance is that you can see Ron's joy and optimism
43
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.000
drain from him. Initially, Ron is bubbly with optimism, calling
44
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.280
Jay by the nickname Puppy, and never letting a stress
45
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.280
show through a smile. Then some spoilers. I don't want
46
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.479
to ruin an Adam Sandler dramatic movie for you. But
47
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.120
then some spoilers and we see Adam show some range there,
48
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.759
and they write, if Adam Sandler wins an Oscar in
49
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.080
the Year of Happy Gilmore two, that will make the
50
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.080
victory even sweeter. I'm rooting for you, Adam Sandler. Dramatic
51
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.919
actor Weird Al explains to the La Times why he
52
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.800
hasn't released a parody song in more than a decade.
53
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.599
He says, because there's no longer a monoculture where it's
54
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.680
more obvious what the hits are. Al had recently done
55
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.520
some smaller tours where he's playing things that weren't hits,
56
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.960
as such things are in the Yanka verse. I just
57
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.800
made that term up. I like it right. Yeah, sounds
58
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.439
a little dirty, but it's not weird. Al said, the
59
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.599
smaller tours cleanse it ballad for me, and we're fun
60
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.560
for my band and the hardcore fans. But now we're
61
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.840
back to playing the big tent, we're ramping up the silliness.
62
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.000
The articleicle even gets into what weird Al calls inception,
63
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.159
like there's somebody named Steve Goodie who parodied the weird
64
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.479
Al original hardware Store and did a parody of that.
65
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.520
Now hardware Store is not a parody, it's a weird
66
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.960
Al original, but the parody by Steve Goodie is called Dumbledore.
67
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.159
And Steve Goody even has a one man show called
68
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.560
Al the Weird Tribute. If you go see Al, at
69
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.319
one point every show they cover a classic song and
70
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.439
do a straight version of it. Some examples include Paul
71
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.400
Simons you can call me Al, all right, that's a
72
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.000
little on the nose, George Harrison's What Is Life? And
73
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.919
even Helen Ready's I Am Woman. Al says it's a
74
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.280
rotating slot almost every night is something different. The fans
75
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.719
get into it, although when he talks to them about it,
76
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.280
he sometimes finds their reactions baffling. People sometimes say, oh,
77
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.599
you guys can really play, You can really do real music,
78
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.439
and Al says, what do you think we've been doing
79
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.479
just because the words are funny, It's not real music.
80
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.879
Newsweek asked Mark Marin if how he perhaps for a
81
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.319
special has changed over the years, specifically because he's more
82
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.360
high profile than he wasn't at another point and he
83
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.039
gets more tension. Does that affect the crafting and the material?
84
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.039
Maren said, I don't know if it has anything to
85
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.000
do with the name of profile, because I never really
86
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.680
registered that as a lot or being enough. It's really
87
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.079
more about me as a person. What if I learned
88
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.279
what matters, what doesn't matter? As I get older, what
89
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.399
do I really give a hoot about? And as a comic,
90
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:28.720
what can I do? What risk can I take? And
91
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.160
I think over time, me talking about myself probably kind
92
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.000
of played spinning and more neurotic. But as I get
93
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.439
deeper into myself, I think that last special from Bleak
94
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.959
to Dark offered me an opportunity tragically to try and
95
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:39.920
wrap my brain around grief and death and loss in
96
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.360
a funny way. And I think working those muscles or
97
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:43.839
figuring out how to do that and has it really
98
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.360
opened up a whole other area for me to take
99
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.360
comedic risks, which I think we see with the trauma
100
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.399
bit in this one, and then revisiting grief at the end.
101
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:52.959
But I think my neurotic problems are my problems of
102
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.360
behavior at least have solutions now so I can move
103
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.839
through them differently and make them more relatable, because I
104
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.800
used to assume when that every when I was younger
105
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.279
was angry and bitter like me, but they weren't. Josh
106
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.360
Blue has a new memoir. He said not everything made
107
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.839
the final cut. He wrote some chapters centered on his
108
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.000
experiences with marriage and fatherhood. Josh says that can come
109
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.800
later in a different book. This one feels like it
110
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.439
should be more about me and my path he has
111
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.639
called something to stare at. Josh says, I put the
112
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.079
book up on my website. I thought to get a
113
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.040
couple of orders, but I had five hundred already. I'm
114
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.800
just overwhelmed with the fact that this many people have
115
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.920
ordered the book without any reviews because they just want
116
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.040
to support me, and I know it's going to be
117
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.480
a good story because they love my stand up and
118
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.360
they love my spirit and personality. What would he like
119
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.759
to do in the future, Josh says, I think porn
120
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.000
would be fun. Now. I've always wanted my own TV show,
121
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.680
I want my own sitcom. I feel like the world
122
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.240
is ready for a disabled lead, and I feel like
123
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.720
I'm the guy to do it. If you have an
124
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.000
idea of what you want to do, when you put
125
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:45.800
it in the world, it happens. Obviously, you have to
126
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.439
put the work in. But so many times people are
127
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.879
afraid to even take the first step of dreaming. I
128
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.279
think sometimes people have an idea of what a disability
129
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:53.600
is and what this book will be, and it's not
130
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.000
woe is Me or inspirational. It's not who I am.
131
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.160
I'm just telling my story. It's a unique story, and
132
00:05:58.199 --> 00:05:59.920
I feel like there's more to come. It's not done.
133
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.000
I worked with him, you know, and like all my
134
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.879
stories now, they are million years ago. But I worked
135
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.279
with him back in the day, and he was a
136
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.079
very cool guy. You know who else was cool back
137
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.279
in the day. Well, he's still cool. But I used
138
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:12.759
to work with him a lot back in the day
139
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.560
Bill Engvall, who has unretired. He's at Treasure Island Casino tonight.
140
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.120
Is it a comeback Bill Engvall, it's all the Star Tribune. Yes,
141
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.959
I'm back out. Nindsight, I should have just taken a break.
142
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.519
I got burned out, but I missed that juice you
143
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.600
get from an audience. You also create a lifestyle that's
144
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.040
got to be fed. Nobody's coming to me anymore saying
145
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.759
we'll take care of your bills. My celebrity recognition factors
146
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.560
way down. Used to be. I can walk in a
147
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.079
restaurant and that say we've got a table for you.
148
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.240
We're going to take care of your dinner. I'm not
149
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.360
gonna lie. That's fun. When did he know retirement was
150
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.399
a mistake within six months. At first, I was bound
151
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.160
to determine to make it work. Then I caught myself
152
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.639
watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and that's
153
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.040
when I knew it was time to get back on
154
00:06:51.040 --> 00:07:10.240
the road. Comedy stock Market, It is Friday where we
155
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.439
make our comedy stock picks. We're gonna buy some. Nate
156
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.360
Brigatzi today. Why he's hosting the Emmys on September fourteenth,
157
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.199
check your calendar. All of a sudden, there's gonna be
158
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.480
a lot of Nate press and it's gonna be super positive.
159
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.759
The media likes him. Let's buy neat. Let's buy Adam Sandler.
160
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.319
Johnny Mack, you're buying Adam Sandler stock. That's right, dramatic
161
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.000
actor Adam Sandler. Let's get him the Oscar. Let's load
162
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.600
up on some Sandler. Let's sell SNL. The haters are
163
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.079
out there. The bar is too high. There's no way
164
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.680
SNL fifty one can live up to SNL fifty, which
165
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:42.920
wasn't even that creative a season other than the celebration
166
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.560
new cast. People are gonna be mad. They're gonna be
167
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.800
mad about the guy from kil Tony. Forget it. Let's
168
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.600
sell SNL. However, let's buy stock and Ben Marshall from
169
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.759
the Police, don't destroys. He's got a lot of charisma
170
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.399
and I think he's going to have a great year.
171
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.959
Let's sell our stock in the paper. Remember last Friday,
172
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.759
we loaded up on the paper. Johnny Mack, Why are

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.000
you selling right now? The show just launched the last
174
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.399
night and they announced season two. That's right, that's how
175
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.879
we make money on comedy. Stock market. We sell Hi,
176
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.600

177
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.800
don't have any stock in this, but let's short sell
178
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.160
Dancing with the Stars. Now, why are we short selling
179
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.199

180
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.879
cast of season thirty four, and you know who's on

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.240
the cast of season thirty four, Andy Richter. That's right,
182
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.639
Dancing with the Stars is taking on the curse of
183
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.240
Andy Richter. Andy Richter can get any show canceled, including
184
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.240
Conan O'Brien. You're messing with the devil there. I don't
185
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.799
know what you're doing. Nobody's tuning in, going oh cool.
186
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.840
Andy Richter's on. You're only taking on the curse. We
187
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.840
will sell Dancing with the Star stock and that is
188
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.200
your comedy stock market. We do this every Friday. Are
189
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.080
you in Chicago? Go watch them. Name the street after
190
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.919
Bob Newhart. Gotta get there by eleven am. The street
191
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.159
on the North Sheridan Road between ord Moore and Thorndale
192
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.320
named in honor of Bob Newhart. Today would have been
193
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.320
Bob Newhart's ninety sixth birthday. Bob Newhart born in nineteen
194
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.720
twenty nine in Oak Park, attended Saint Ignatius College Prep
195
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.799
and Loyal University, where a theater bears his name, and
196
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.720
The Toronto Guardian caught up with comedian Sidish pay Pai Pie.
197
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.759
Sidesh combines sharp wit, clever wordplay and self deprecating humor,
198
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.919
aircrafting one liners and observational jokes. Pretty generic. I'm rooting
199
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.639
for you. Let's see, who are your favorite comedians growing up?
200
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.679
Russell Peters and Jerry Seinfeld. Okay, who are your favorite
201
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.600
comedians now? Is Zorna Gorg and Mark Normand? All right?
202
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.679
I think that helps us zone in on your lane
203
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.279
of comedy. Sidesh says, Mark Norman is like a machine
204
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.039
gun of one liners which resonates with my own comedic style.
205
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.919
What is your pre show ritual meditation? Interesting? And that
206
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.639
is your comedy news for today, normal episodes all weekend.
207
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.320
If you would like the program without commercial interruption, go
208
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.519
on Apple Podcasts. There's a banner there it says uninterrupted listening.
209
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.320
You click that and then for just five bucks a
210
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.840
month you get this show with no commercials. You also
211
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.759
get the other stuff on the network, like five Good
212
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.200
News Stories, which I host three or four times a week.
213
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.799
I heard secretly that there might be a fourth episode
214
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:11.600
starting next week unofficially. Don't tell anyone you get palace intrigue.
215
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.159
Harry's coming to the UK Monday, or maybe he's not.
216
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.200
I don't know. No one knows. You read one news
217
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:19.120
article they're like, Harry's gonna beet with the King Monday,
218
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.039
and then the next one's like, no, they're not. I've
219
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.759
been calling it Schrodinger's Harry. For those of you who
220
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.440
follow philosophy anyway, five bucks a month, no commercials. It's
221
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.000
just seventeen cents a day ish, depending on how you
222
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.519
do math and how many days there are in the month.
223
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.120
See tomorrow
