1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with a

2
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.960
very busy Saturday, especially in the summer and double especially

3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.160
after it had been a slow week and a half.

4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:18.719
There are a lot of stuff today. Let's start with

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.760
Conan O'Brien. On his podcast, he got into politic and

6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.079
started talking about ice with guest Diego Luna. Conan said,

7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.519
I have empathy because if you're paying attention, you understand

8
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.079
that it feels like eighty percent of what's getting done

9
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:30.800
here to sustain our lives and our culture and our

10
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.320
communities coming from south of the border. They're doing all

11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.920
the work. Everybody I work with, everybody who works with me,

12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.039
everybody who helps me in any way or helps with

13
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:39.880
my family in any way, with everything that needs to

14
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.960
be done in every way. Every day I'm working with

15
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.719
people who are from Mexico or Central America or South America.

16
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.880
They are the community. In Los Angeles, a social media influencer,

17
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.280
The Liver King, was arrested for making terroristic threats. The

18
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.320
liver King, real name Brian Johnson, apparently posted some videos.

19
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.640
In one of them, he said, Joe Rogan, I'm calling

20
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.320
you out out. The liver King has two point nine

21
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.319
million Instagram followers apparently posted a series of videos calling

22
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.200
Rogan out. The police put out a statement. The police

23
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.879
said detectives reviewed the posts and observed that the Liver

24
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.200
King was traveling to Austin while continuing to make threatening statements.

25
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.879
Detectives contacted mister Rogan, who stated he had never had

26
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.640
any interaction with the Liver King and considered the post

27
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.040
to be threatening. Based on this information, detectives obtained an

28
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.599
arrest warrant for the Liver King on a charge of

29
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.239
terroristic threat. In a June twenty third video, the Liver

30
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.439
King said Joe Rogan, I'm calling you out. My name's

31
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.560
liver King. Man and man, I'm picking a fight with you.

32
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.120
I have no training in jiu jitsu. You're a black belt.

33
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.439
You should dismantle me. But I'm picking a fight with you.

34
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.519
Your rules. I'll cut weight. I'll come to you whenever

35
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.040
you're ready, whenever you're ready to go. On June twenty fourth,

36
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.959
a video said, we have real tension, Joe Rogan. We

37
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.799
don't have to make videos to pretend anymore. All of

38
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.920
this is happening. We're coming to you. I've challenged you,

39
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.200
man and man to a fight honorable. You can hold

40
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.280
the hand of somebody that you love, because what happens

41
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.280
next to you, you need to remember that feeling. You're

42
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.280
going to need something more than what you did to

43
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.079
give you something to fight for. Because I have my

44
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.359
family to fight for and that I'll die for them.

45
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.240
And you're a black belt, but you've never come across

46
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.599
something like this. This is really scary. I don't even

47
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.919
want to read the rest of it. It gets even worse.

48
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.199
In my opinion, the man had checked into and the

49
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.759
details of everything the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Austin.

50
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.400
The Liver King is apparently famous on social media for

51
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.560
what he calls a quote ancestral lifestyle that is driven

52
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.960
largely by his consumption of raw meat. There's a Netflix

53
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.840
documentary Untold the Liver King that came out in May,

54
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.719
and apparently back in twenty twenty two, on the Joe

55
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.319
Rogan Experience podcast, Rogan made fun of the dude's bulked

56
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:44.479
out physique, and then apparently after that, emails between the

57
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.280
Liver King and a doctor were leaked and the Liver

58
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.759
King was quote forced to admit that he had regularly

59
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.960
spent eleven thousand dollars per month on performance enhancing drugs. Yikes.

60
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.800
In other Joe Rogan news, he had Bernie Sanders on

61
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.479
this week. Now, the narrative since the election has been

62
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.240
the left needs their own Joe Rogan, but the left

63
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.680
has forgotten the Joe Rogan of the left was Joe Rogan.

64
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.159
I mean, he was on board until he wasn't. And

65
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.159
he's had Bernie on in the past. Well, this week

66
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.000
Bernie was on the Joe Rogan Experience. So the Joe

67
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.120
Rogan of the left apparently is Joe Rogan, and the

68
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.000
Joe Rogan of the right is apparently Joe Rogan. Oh

69
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.960
is an okay interview? I checked it out. I've not

70
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.479
yet had a chance to listen to Jim Norton on

71
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.719
the Joe Rogan Experience, but Jim Norton tweeted, I had

72
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.879
a great time with Joe Rogan. The episode is up now.

73
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.840
Life is about change, but having a twenty year gig

74
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.479
end always brings a lot of uncertainty with it. I

75
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.039
assume there Norton is referring to his time at Serious XAM.

76
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.199
He was the quote unquote third cheer and the Opien

77
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.639
Anthony Show for years and then had his own show

78
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.800
after Opien Anthony kind of blew up as the phrase

79
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.199
I would use. So there was Jim and Sam for

80
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.919
I guess another ten years after that. Wow, Norton had

81
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.280
a twenty year radio career and in my head, he's

82
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.159
new at it. Norton Street continues, Joe has been a

83
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.319
true friend in what has been an unpredictable time in

84
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.960
my career, and it's very appreciated. I've worked with Jim

85
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.159
in the radio industry and podcasting industry a few times.

86
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.039
He is a good dude. But the real big news today,

87
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.639
and boy, I am so excited. Adam Sandler has announced

88
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.560
a thirty city North American fall tour. I'm online right

89
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.120
now as you're listening. I'm at a whiz in the

90
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.519
Bronx trying to get tickets to Adam Sandler. That's a

91
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.319
joke for you old people. You see, younglings, we didn't

92
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.279
always have apps. We used to have to go to

93
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.199
a record store and line up overnight and sleep out overnight.

94
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:29.959
Like if you wanted to see Bruce Springsteen in nineteen

95
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.920
eighty four, you're camping out overnight, and what you would

96
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.000
do is you would try and go to a neighborhood

97
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.959
where you didn't think there were a lot of fans

98
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.720
of the particular band that you're into. So, for example,

99
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.279
say Bruce Springsteen, I live in New Jersey right now.

100
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.959
It would be dumb to stand in front of a

101
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.800
record store New Jersey to get Springsteen tickets. But maybe

102
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.199
you go, I don't know Canada, and you could probably

103
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.079
get tickets pretty easily. We used to do that sort

104
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.399
of thing. I digress. Adam Sandler sets thirty city North

105
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.079
American Fall tour, including a stop at Madison Square Garden.

106
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.199
I'm gonna before I tell you the story. And I

107
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.759
shared this in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group.

108
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.920
People you gotta pay attention. I mean, somebody just spit

109
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.240
out a line. They wrote. Critically acclaimed comedian now Adam Sandler,

110
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.600
super successful, super rich. People love him, but he is

111
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.079
not critically acclaimed. Critics do not go see Adam Sandler

112
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.920
movies and be like, you know, that was really good.

113
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.560
And then I saw a different post that said something like,

114
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.560
I don't know movie superstar or movie fan favorite Adam Sandler. Yeah. Absolutely,

115
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.000
he definitely has popular movies. He just doesn't have good movies,

116
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.720
except of course, the ones with Drew Barrymore, uncut gems,

117
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.680
the one with the space Alien, and the basketball one.

118
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.680
Those are the five good Adam Sadlor movies. And look,

119
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.199
if you've been listening to this show since I started it,

120
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.920
I'm up to five good Adam Sandler movies. Now there

121
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.240
was a time when there were only two, both of

122
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.399
which starred Drew Barrymore. I digress again Adam Saylor thirty

123
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.560
City Faults or Across America. It kicks off September fifth

124
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.319
in Jacksonville, I'm sorry, guys, and then eventually make his

125
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.759
way to New York, Toronto, Chicago, Indianapolis, Omaha, and Seattle.

126
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.040
The swer is called Adam Sandler. You're my best friend,

127
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.839
and don't forget. We're less than a month away now

128
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.560
from Happy Gilmour to streaming on Netflix. That's out July

129
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.800
twenty fifth, So we're gonna be talking about Adam Sandler

130
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.879
a lot. Nothing excites me more than that. Rain Wilson

131
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.920
was on the Good Guys podcast hosted by Josh Peck

132
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.720
and Ben Soper. Rain was talking about when Steve Carell

133
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.600
left the office. Wilson said, when Steve left then it

134
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.360
was a little bit chaotic of trying to figure out

135
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:34.839
the tone of the show and who's the lead and

136
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.600
how are we telling the stories without you know, the

137
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.399
comic engine of the show, which is Michael Scott. Well,

138
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.160
what they did was they took, in my opinion, some

139
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.600
scripts that said Michael, crossed it out and wrote Andy.

140
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.920
That's basically what they did for at least half a season.

141
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.279
I liked the Robert California stuff. Not everybody does, but

142
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.160
the Andy character went from being a likable third banana

143
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.160
to like awful. To this day, if I see ed

144
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.079
Helms in anything, I run away. What they should have

145
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.120
done is promoted Jim to boss and flip the dynamic

146
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.120
and then kind of made it like, now Jim has

147
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.759
to be the grown up and he has to deal

148
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.040
with the crazies. That's where the humor could have come from.

149
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.959
But again, I'm not a famous hitcom writer. I'm a

150
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.680
dude in a basement hosting a podcast. Patton Oswald has

151
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.839
joked that his daughter is lethally adventurous after she went

152
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.920
swimming with sharks, pat And told Kimmel she'll always run

153
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.600
towards the most dangerous things she can find. Last week,

154
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.079
she went swimming with sharks off Hawaii in a cage

155
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.240
sent me footage like I'm swimming with sharks, dad, and

156
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.319
I'm like, I don't know if you're my daughter, because

157
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.319
that is so terrifying. If you're in New Jersey today

158
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.519
and you're not online at the Whiz trying to get

159
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.319
Adam Sandler tickets, you might see Kevin Hart. His crew

160
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.959
is out and about around Hoboken in Jersey City. They

161
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.720
are filming seventy two hours. Seventy two hours stars Kevin

162
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.720
Hart as an older man who tries to rekindle his

163
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.560
career by joining a three day bachelor party after he

164
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.199
gets accidentally added to a group chat among some much

165
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.199
younger friends. I have an idea for a Kevin Hart movie,

166
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.279
an older man who tries to rekindle his career by

167
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.600
doing a podcast in the basement. That could work anyway.

168
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.079
It is believed Kevin will be in Hoboken. People are

169
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.000
seeing signs around tenth and Washington Streets that suggest the

170
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.439
cast will be there on Saturday. Movie crews have made

171
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.240
use of the Elks Lodge in that area in the past,

172
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.959
and somebody even saw a fake subway station. Very interesting.

173
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.040
All right, quick time out here A little behind the scenes.

174
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.879
So in the first half there I dropped like three

175
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.800
or four stories. Now I am thrilled that there's a

176
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.360
busy Saturday, especially this time of year. But I'm looking

177
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.320
ahead and a week from now is July fourth weekend,

178
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.240
and having done this podcast for several years now, the

179
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.360
week after July fourth, there's just a dearth of stuff.

180
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.440
So as I was recording, and I'm always looking at

181
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.039
the clock, because you know, I try and make these

182
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.559
shows like twelve fifteen minutes long, unless like Dave Chappelle

183
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.080
goes on a rant and now I'll hit twenty something.

184
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:53.120
So I was editing on the fly because I do

185
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.480
want to squirrel away stories in case I need them.

186
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.039
Like last week was pretty slow until it wasn't, and

187
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.600
I'm a little afraid that July fourth weekend, but today

188
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.039
is strong enough that I can bump stuff. Vulture. I

189
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.919
think it was wrote about some parody songs, one in

190
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.759
particular called bomb Iran. Now bomb Iran is based on

191
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.519
the Beach Boys song Barbara Ann do It in your Head.

192
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.360
It works. I played the song on YouTube. There's a

193
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.279
version of bomb Iran, and boy it's as catchy as

194
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.440
the original. Vulture share that In April of two thousand

195
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.840
and seven, John McCain was on stage at a primary

196
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.159
campaign stop, blew his nose and fielded a question about

197
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.559
sending an airmail message to the real problem in the

198
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.039
Middle East Iran. I've been saying Iran like I'm from

199
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.039
Queen's Iran. Plus bomb Iran is more like Barbara Ann.

200
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:46.679
Bomb Iran doesn't quite work anyway. McCain considered the attendees

201
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.879
proposal and then launched into a rendition of quote that

202
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.120
old Beach Boys song Bomb Iran, and he's sang bomb

203
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.720
bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. He went viral bomb as

204
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.039
cited it during two debates. McCain had decl he was joking.

205
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.879
But the bomb Iran version goes back to the hostage

206
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.919
crisis of nineteen seventy nine. If you're old, you remember

207
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.360
that quite well. If you throw the phrase into YouTube,

208
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.720
it will come up. And I happen to see this

209
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.399
one before I even saw the bomb Iran story. But

210
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.720
I was like, oh, this is some good pad out

211
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.080
a summer Saturday episode kind of stuff. Billboard this week

212
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:27.360
happened to write an article called Billboard's Top fifteen musical comedians.

213
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.960
Right now, let's see who they are. I haven't actually

214
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.919
read it. The first name that comes up is Bo Burnham,

215
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.399
So I'm not sure you could easily say Bo Burnham's

216
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.200
number one from a popularity standpoint, or this might just

217
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.840
be alphabetical, but Bo Burnham, okay? Cool? Next up j R.

218
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.399
De Guzman, So we've gone B D and I doubt

219
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.559
DeGuzman is the second most popular, So I think we're

220
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.000
going alphabetically here, Billboard writes. In another era, de Guzeman,

221
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.440
whose sweet face provides cover for edge skirting comic songs

222
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.840
about racial stereotypes, one called Asian Guys can Smash or

223
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.080
el Sex of Christmas, the lyric at Deck the Halls

224
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.000
with Fa La Latio, and ableism, a song apparently called

225
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.799
Ampaty Girlfriend. Anyway, it would be several seasons into a

226
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.960
Network sitcom based on his life story. Francesca Duva not

227
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.120
familiar trained as a musician. She graduated from the Peabody

228
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.919
Conservatory at Johns Hopkins with a degree in music composition

229
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.759
in twenty sixteen. She creates her own backing tracks for

230
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.000
pieces that are less songs than many musicals in which

231
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.080
she plays all the characters. Bridget Everetts is able to

232
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.639
swing from intimate to over the top in a single breath.

233
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.720
Who Are Too Good for This World? HBO dramedy Somebody

234
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.240
Somewhere set in Manhattan, Kansas, where she grew up, wrapped

235
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:38.080
last year after three seasons of exploring the joys and sorrows.

236
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:44.559
Kyle Gordon specializes in millennial song parodies. Tim Hidecker reasonably

237
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.080
well known in the alt scene, Morgan, Jay, Lean and

238
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.120
laid Back All the Way Back. Jay has made a

239
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.039
specialty of autotune crowd work that is a pure joyed

240
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.600
watch Mike in hand with the digital enhancement set all

241
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.960
the Way to Travis Scott and has accompanist vamping, hushed

242
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.120
R and B Chords works this way through the audience,

243
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.159
poking at the usual topics in an auto tune falsetto.

244
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.639
This is a good list. Matteo Lane Sure we're talking

245
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.720
about Matteo a lot lately. Matteo is a trained opera

246
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.200
singer with a six octave range. He says, I used

247
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.360
to have whistle tones like Mariah Carey. They popped out

248
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.600
of nowhere, but when you're touring they come few and

249
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.159
four between Ricky Lindhome. You may know Lindholm is one

250
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.000
half of Gorfunkel and Oats. Garfunkel and Otes are one

251
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.600
of my faves. Oh CT I don't know oct Billboard

252
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.799
tells us this trio specializes in songs that push silliness

253
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.559
towards the infinite. Don't Touch My Clogs as an epic

254
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.679
story that spans generations without ever straying from the instructions

255
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.360
of the title. Dim Sun Paradise is the tale of

256
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.600
a bus trip to Chinatown to find the Shangri Law

257
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.279
where your taste buds burst like a distant star. That

258
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.960
sounds fun. Tim Platt, this is a long deep list Billboard.

259
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.000
A mild mannered absurdist. I am not familiar with most

260
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.240
of these artists. Actually, Platt promises jokes and songs and

261
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.720
characters and stuff, all of which you delivered with trimming

262
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.759
command from somewhere way out and left field. His songs

263
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.159
are rooted in the natural born surrealism of childhood. I'll

264
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.600
tell you somebody who has programmed a comedy radio for

265
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:14.120
twenty something years now, the musical stuff usually doesn't do

266
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.279
well when you get metrics when I do play it

267
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.600
on the Weekly Comedy Thing, which is the show I

268
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.879
host on the Live One app which is a free

269
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.639
app and the show is free. It's like this except

270
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.000
by talk a lot less and actually play bits, a

271
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:27.879
weekly comedy thing on the Live one app. Check it

272
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.120
out in new episodes every Sunday. Anyway, The metrics always

273
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.000
show people tuning out during the musical stuff. I usually

274
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.639
put the musical stuff at the end. Mark rebela boy.

275
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.600
This is long list known as loop Daddy. He shines

276
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.639
and let him cook. Live streams which find him building

277
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.279
ready for the floor. Layers of beats and keyboard runs

278
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.159
into the trancy funk, bluesy R and B electro house

279
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.720
or spaced out hip hop tracks. I run out of

280
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.480
air there It's a long sentence and then ran rapping

281
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:57.039
or singing on top of the results. Matt rogers, sure

282
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.440
we know him from Las Culturistas. Read you that. Sure

283
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.639
we know Reggie's Reggie's been around for a while. The

284
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:07.000
Wolves of Glendale not familiar. Keyboardist Tim McGovern describes the

285
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.879
Wolves as a rock band trying to write the best

286
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.120
songs we can about the dumbest things we can. That's

287
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.360
right up my alley. I will check this out. And

288
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.240
the bro country stopper Ricky, a wage slave, tries to

289
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.879
lastle some cowboy freedom by buying the horse in the

290
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.799
song's title, but he's in over his head. One of

291
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.200
the rhymes is Ricky's looking hungry, but I don't know

292
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.320
what he eats, so I make him ravioli and I

293
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.679
pray he goes to sleep. I'm gonna totally check that out.

294
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.960
That is the Wolves of Glendale and yep alphabetically. We

295
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.159
have reached the end of the list, and that is

296
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.840
your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,

297
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.519
please tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

298
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.240
Tomorrow Mel Brooks ninety ninth birthday, I'll talk about mill

299
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.360
in the second half of the podcast. I'll see you then,
