00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.720
Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. No
3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:15.759
late night jokes this week. I didn't forget. Just everybody
4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.120
was off other than Tiffany Hattish sitting in for Kimmel,
5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.519
so we'll skip that. Patton Oswald has once again defended
6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.800
Dave Chappelle, saying that the transphobic jokes that got Chappelle
7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.719
in hot waters do not make Chappelle transphobic. Patton says
8
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.000
Chappelle is reacting to some things that happened to him
9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.560
when he was young. Patton is the guest on the
10
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.600
We Might Be Drunk podcast with Mark Norman and Sam Murrill.
11
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.679
Patten said, I thought the jokes were lazy. I don't
12
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.000
think he's transphobic. Chappelle is brilliant. I came up with him.
13
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.600
He's a friend, but we disagree on this one effing thing.
14
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:47.399
I don't agree with a stance on this one thing.
15
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.560
Comedians fight about stuff all the time. Patton got in
16
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.240
trouble with some folks back in twenty twenty two. On
17
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.439
New Year's Eve, he posted a photo with Chappelle on
18
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.479
Instagram and capture the image. I ended the year with
19
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.159
a real friend and a deep laugh. Can't ask for
20
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.600
much more. People got upset at Patten. The next day,
21
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.760
January first, twenty twenty two, he posted, while Chappelle is
22
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.760
a comic is the funniest I've ever met. Patton wanted
23
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.719
you to know I support trans people's rights, anyone's all
24
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.840
caps' rights to live safely in the world as they're
25
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.319
full of selves. For all the things he's helped me
26
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.799
evolve on, I'll always disagree with where he stands now
27
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.280
on transgender issues, but I also don't believe a secret
28
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.760
like him is done evolving learning. You know someone that
29
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.040
long see the struggles and changes, it's impossible to cut
30
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.200
them off. Paton added, I've said plenty of crap on
31
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.040
my early albums that I now know better, explaining that
32
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.200
comedy does not age. We should hold and accept that
33
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:37.799
and kind of roll with it. But at the time,
34
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.439
I have a lot of friends, I have family members
35
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.359
who are trans, who are transitioning, and I talk to
36
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.319
them and they're terrified right now. And it's exact same
37
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.359
thing back when black people would say the cops beat
38
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.760
us up all the time, and it's like, ah, this
39
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.799
is all bs, this is fear mongering. And then we
40
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.159
put cameras on cops and low, behold, there's footage of
41
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.879
cops beeding the f out of them. Listen to the
42
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.000
minority group. If they're telling you they're scared, they're not
43
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.680
making stuff up. Patton said, one of the gifts of
44
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.560
comedy is to evolve at the times. You can talk
45
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.840
about whatever you want, but it's your job to find
46
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.519
a way to make it funny. If you're a comedian
47
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.879
and enough people are saying, hey, I'm coming to you
48
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.599
because I'm not a skull, it's just like, this is
49
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.439
really harmful, and this is why just go I'm sure
50
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.479
I can find another way to say this. I'm a comedian.
51
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.240
You can't go no, that's the way I wrote it,
52
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:17.960
and I can't change it. Well, then, how the f
53
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.919
for you and show business? That's very interesting. WTF the
54
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.080
podcast is ending. However, you can look forward to WTF
55
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:30.039
the graphic novel. Sure why Not. Mark Maren is working
56
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.000
with graphic novel publisher Z two. The graphic novel will
57
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.639
span the period between two thousand and four and twenty
58
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.960
twenty five. Maren launched WTF in two thousand and nine.
59
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.800
Maren said, this is a fantastic way for friends to
60
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.120
relive the entire run of the podcast without needing to
61
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.719
listen to thousands of hours of material. The graphic novel
62
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.439
is already funded, but a Kickstarter will launch on September
63
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.599
fourth to allow listeners to pre order the book and
64
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.479
gain access to WTF memorabilia. I love Maren, and Maren's
65
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.280
on a hot streak here. You know what, I may
66
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.000
have to update comedy stock market. We'll see in the
67
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.520
second half of the show. But this is feeling a
68
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.680
little Jim Gaffick and Bourbon to me. I could do
69
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.280
an entire episode on Mark Maron. There are so many
70
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.479
Mark Maren articles, and you know, if you listen to
71
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:15.840
the show every day, I like to mix it up.
72
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.800
So that's enough Maroon for today. But there's a big
73
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.879
Newsweek article that I'll pick at as the next week.
74
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.080
So we're now switching from press about the HBO special
75
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.400
to press about the documentary, and then we're gonna get
76
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.439
press about the end of the podcast, so there's gonna
77
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.680
be a lot of Mark Maren. I should probably have
78
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.319
the AI make a Mark Maren song. Kamil Nanjihanni was
79
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.000
on Mike Berbigley as Working It Out podcast, and Kamal
80
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.639
said that he got a bad review from Elon Musk.
81
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.080
Elon didn't like Silicon Valley. Apparently Elon didn't like the
82
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.919
series twenty fourteen opening episode, which featured kid Rock performing
83
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.719
at a tech party while seven nerdy dudes stood by
84
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.840
with no one paying attention. Kamel said Elon was upset.
85
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:56.280
He was like, well, the parties I go to are
86
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.039
much cooler than these parties. Non Giohanni thought, yeah, man,
87
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.719
you're one of the richest people the world. We're like
88
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.039
losers on the show. Of course, your parties are better
89
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.759
than my parties. What are you talking about. Dusty Slagh
90
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.360
says he finds a lot of common ground between music
91
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.400
and stand up comedy, saying, I think in a way,
92
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.000
comedy bits are like our own little songs. They are
93
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.839
our own little poems. When I do a full comedy special,
94
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.920
I almost think about how someone would put out an album.
95
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.040
At least the older albums where an album would be complete,
96
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.959
might have some themes from an earlier song to come
97
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.519
back in a later song and it ties the whole
98
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.079
thing together. He says, these days we're in a phase
99
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.480
of comedy where everybody wants clips. We all want likes,
100
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.040
we all want to go viral. When I think about
101
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:33.839
a special, I like to have a full on, complete
102
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.639
special that feels like I'm going in and out of
103
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.680
little songs. Chris Hardwick is back. You know, Maren gets
104
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.040
a lot of credit for broadcasting. Chris Hardwick absolutely had
105
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.040
a huge podcast for years. He was with Nerdict, then
106
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.800
it became ID ten T. It is now a comeback,
107
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.560
rebranded as I think you're overthinking it, but Jeeva says,
108
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.839
it's essentially the same podcast that's always been. Recently, he
109
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.040
had James Gunn who showed up to talk about the
110
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.360
upcoming season of Peace Easemaker. So that, yeah, that sounds
111
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.240
like an episode that would be perfectly comfortable on nerdicst.
112
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.000
And if you're in Elmira tonight, watch out. You know
113
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.839
who's in town. The worst person who ever lived, That
114
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.639
horrible scoundrel Jay Leno, who dared once make a comment
115
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.199
about late night comedy. What a just awful person. And
116
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.040
listen to this, Jay says, my point is to get laughs.
117
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.000
I don't try to inflict my views on people. I
118
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.120
don't try to do politics anymore. He even commented on
119
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.079
Late Night a scoundrel. He said. It has to do
120
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.160
with the nature of television. They all have way more
121
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.519
commercials than they used to. If I see Jake from
122
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.759
State Form again, I'm gonna shoot myself in the head.
123
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.160
This guy Jay even said, I love being a live performer.
124
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.079
I like a live audience and the idea of connecting
125
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.240
with actual people. And he says it's a lot of fun.
126
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.839
How dare you, sir? Tickets for an evening with Jay
127
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.560
Leno are still available seventy eight to one hundred and
128
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.240
nineteen dollars with service charges included. Elmira, New York.
129
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.120
Comedy stock Market.
130
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.439
That's right, it's comedy stock Market. Every Friday, we take
131
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.800
a look at the comedy industry and I recommend some
132
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.959
buys or sell, sometimes even a hold. And you know what,
133
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.279
I think it's the time we sell some Mark Maren stock,
134
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.519
not all of it, but let's take a profit. I
135
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.839
think we're at peak Maren value. If he's making graphic
136
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.240
novels and getting into Jim gaffigan bourbon territory, we're at
137
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.000
peak Maren and it's gonna be downhill from here, I think.
138
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.519
So let's sell half our Maren stock and cash out. High.
139
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.720
So what should we do with our money. Let's buy
140
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.480
some stock in hinnadu unaka. Have you caught his special
141
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.639
on Hulu? Really fantastic. Let's also buy some Kyle Kanaan. Why.
142
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.759
I just have a hunch, Like I said earlier in
143
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.399
the week, I think he's low key, quietly maybe perhaps
144
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.000
possibly the best comedian in the game right now. So
145
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.040
let's buy some Kyle Kanan while nobody's looking. Let's also
146
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.959
buy some Patton Oswalt because he has that Amazon special
147
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.360
coming up. It's an audio special only, so he'll be
148
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.120
doing a lot of press. People will be like, oh yeah,
149
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.720
I like Patton Oswald. So we'll buy Pat and by
150
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.319
Kyle by chinnadou wanaka sell Maren. Let's also sell all
151
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.199
of our fringe stock. The fringe is over and people
152
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.240
are just miserable. You've heard me do that store every day,
153
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.519
so well sell our fringe stock. And then I've got
154
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.720
one more buy recommendation for you. Jonathan Kite has been
155
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:28.959
doing these wonderful, wonderful Anthony Bourdain impressions on Instagram. I've
156
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.959
pulled some audio here from one. I mean, check this out.
157
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.680
This is just amazing.
158
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.279
Costco. We start with the legendary hot dog, the last
159
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.959
honest bargain left in America, inflation proof at a dollar fifty.
160
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.120
This symphony of salt, fat and don't ask too many
161
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.560
questions is truly a tube of edible chaos. Costco customers
162
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.759
consume over two hundred million hot dogs a year, which
163
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.800
is almost as many as Joey Chestnut and Bonnie Blue.
164
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.800
And we have the pizza available in cheese and pepperoni. Finally,
165
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:07.879
a two slice solution that everyone can agree on. And finally, gasoline,
166
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.839
because at Costco they proudly pump fuel into both you
167
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.240
and your vehicle. You haven't truly lived the suburban American
168
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.560
dream until you filled your suv with Kirkland Signature petroleum
169
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.399
and your face with twos pick mystery meat and complimentary
170
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.199
cubes of cheddar. They say go big or go home,
171
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.480
but at Costco you can do both.

the Columbus Comedy Festival Thursday, September fourth through Sunday, September
196
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.399
Seventh's It's Fun Fringe is almost over. I better get
197
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.759
these articles cleared out. I've been bouncing them every day
198
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.039
because the podcast has been long. Voicemag and caught up
199
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.799
with Ishmael Loofti. Ismael's show is called Heavenly Baba, centered
200
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.720
around a period of my life where my father was
201
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.960
actively trying to convert everyone in my home state to
202
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.759
Islam by painting the most insane Islamic slogans and mantras
203
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.480
on his car. He says, my father instilled an extremely
204
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.360
black and white worldview in my head, and nothing is
205
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.320
more black and white than stand up. You either kill
206
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.600
or your bomb. There's very little nuance in comedy, which
207
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.559
made it attractive to me. My show started out seventy
208
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.759
percent stand up, thirty percent story. After working on it
209
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.759
for a year, I gradually took out as many stand
210
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.559
up jokes as I could and replace them with story
211
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.320
beats and accompanying slides. Influences David Cross, John Stewart, Al Franken,
212
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.840
best worst or weirdest review you've received. He says, nobody
213
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.360
reviews comedy in the States, which is maybe why American
214
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.519
comedy's gotten so crappy. So I don't know how to
215
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.919
answer this. This is a good interview. Is there a
216
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.360
question you wish interviewers would ask you but they never do?
217
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.679
He said, yes, what's your favorite empire from history? The
218
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.360
answer the Ottomans. They took a ragtag group of nomadic
219
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.679
horse orcherds and conquered a fifth of Europe while wearing
220
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.159
the biggest turbans in human history. And he invent that
221
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.679
some of the best food on earth. Kind of dropped
222
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.159
the ball in the twentieth century, but that's life. Heavenly
223
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.159
Baba is at the Assembly George Square, Studio five at
224
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.679
six pm. But the festival's over this weekend, so get
225
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.360
on a plane unless you're already in Edinburgh, and which case,
226
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.960
just walk down the street, maybe rent out your spare room.
227
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.879
You probably make some money. And I found this exchange
228
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:31.679
pretty fascinating. Some UK TV executives were at the Edinburgh
229
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.000
Fringe Festival. The topic David Mitchell's show The Outsider You
230
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.519
know David Mitchell for Mitchell and webb Well. Outsiders has
231
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.799
been shelved after three years after David Mitchell said he's
232
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.279
too busy to film it again. In Outsiders, comedians are
233
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.440
thrust into a post apocalyptic scenario where they must see
234
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.279
if they have the survival skills to live outdoors. It
235
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.759
aired between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three. Mitchell
236
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.240
said his role on the show was to be a
237
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.480
slightly befuddled, irrascable and indecisive leader. You know the part
238
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.639
that caught my eye other than I just like David Mitchell.
239
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.080
Executives at the Fringe said, it is not currently returning
