Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, Johnny Mack with your daily
2
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:14.679
comedy news. If you're a parent and you're listening with
3
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.719
children for some reason, why don't you hit stop? There's
4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.480
some news in the second story. I don't want to
5
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.480
ruin Christmas for everybody, Okay, so hit stop. You know
6
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.920
what I'm saying. Yeah, okay. Dave Chappelle's Edmonton show was
7
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.480
interrupted by hecklers There's Davies on stage at Rogers Place
8
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.439
Wednesday night. The Edmonton Journal reports many and attendants took
9
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.079
to social media after the show to complain about the
10
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.799
behavior of others in the crowd. Some posts on social media.
11
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.039
One said Edmonton needs to learn how to watch a
12
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.920
comedy show. The hecklers and yellers just wrecked everybody's night out.
13
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.320
Another wrote, Edmonton outright embarrassed themselves tonight in front of
14
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.159
Comedy Royalty. Feels so bad for Dave Chappelle's sound quality
15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.479
was terrible and it had to have been pushing thirty
16
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.640
degrees in there by showtime. I believe they are talking
17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.359
Celsius there and it was hot in the arena. Do
18
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.560
wrote comedy the rest was the worst show experience of
19
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.599
my life. Troy wrote, the first three acts of Dave
20
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.000
Chappelle and Edmonton were loud and boisterous, but I didn't
21
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.719
even know wtf happened halfway through Dave set But even
22
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.920
sitting in row one in section one eighteen, it was
23
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.840
hard to hear him, and the crowd behind me let
24
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:16.920
him know it. Ture sounded like a tech issue because
25
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.280
it went loud to quiet. One more. Dave comes here
26
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.840
and the crowd couldn't keep quiet, constant yelling, garbage comments
27
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.560
and loudmounts who ruined the show for everyone. Chappelle deserved better. Sorry,
28
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.599
Dave Chappelle. Matt Rife is catching some grief. All right, parents,
29
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.439
you turn this off. Last warning here. Okay, Matt Rife
30
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.439
often in controversies. I think this one is not matt
31
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.599
Riffe's fault. Folks are complaining that when they open up
32
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.040
the Netflix app, it starts playing an auto preview of
33
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.519
Matt Riffe's Christmas Special. Okay, you know, maybe you don't
34
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.680
like Matt Rife and that annoys you. Oh No, The
35
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.439
issue is he makes a joke about Santa Claus possibly
36
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.640
perhaps not being real, which, of course we all know
37
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.560
Santa israel I did tell you to hit stop. Matt
38
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.000
made a joke that changes everything when you find out
39
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.280
your parents are Santa, which of course they are not.
40
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.040
Social media is flush with comments, says TMZ from upset
41
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.760
parents who are ripping Matt's and Netflix for ruining Christmas
42
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.599
over their kids. I seriously doubt Matt Rife has any
43
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.560
say whatsoever on what auto plays when you open up
44
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.560
the Netflix app that is on Netflix. One parent wrote,
45
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.639
thanks for ruining his childhood ouch. Anyway, the Matt Rife Special.
46
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.479
I know people love to hate on Matt Rife. I'll
47
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.680
tell you what. It's the third best special of the year.
48
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.919
Kevin Herts is slightly funnier, but Matt Rife's special, and
49
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.560
I may flip my order here. Matt Rife's special is
50
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.439
really really funny. Now, if you're uptight and you can't
51
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.599
joke amongst friends about we all come from different backgrounds.
52
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.439
If that sort of material upsets you, you're going to
53
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.680
cancel me. But as a guy sitting on the couch,
54
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.080
I found it funny. The people in the audience found
55
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.479
it funny. I recommend on Matt Rife's Netflix special. And
56
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.080
Matt got the wax job from the Hollywood reporter, Matt said,
57
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.919
crowd work is always so much fun. It's why I
58
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.919
continue to do it personally. The onny stigma about me
59
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.439
is I just do crowd work. I took a tour
60
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.319
around the world and do twenty thousand seed arenas. It
61
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.319
would be impossible for me to do that night after night.
62
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.000
If I'm on stage for an hour and fifteen minutes,
63
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.759
maybe ten of those minutes or CrowdWork, because it's fun
64
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.560
and spontaneous to try and navigate. It's a new experience
65
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.759
for every single show, and that's what makes the night exciting.
66
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.439
He does open up. I clocked it. He does six
67
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.080
minutes of non crowd work at the start of this
68
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.639
CrowdWork special, and that six minutes is tight. It's funny.
69
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.199
Matt explained. I was supposed to film my newest material
70
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.360
special about two or three months ago. I don't know why,
71
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.400
but the thought of Christmas got stuck in my head.
72
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.479
Maybe it was a yearning for my favorite holiday, and
73
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.719
I just thought, you know what I mean, it would
74
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.520
be really fun to do a seasonal or holiday based
75
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.000
theme for my next CrowdWork special. It's a skill set
76
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.439
that I'm blessed to have. I can kind of do
77
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.319
it anywhere at any time, so why not hone in
78
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.879
on this specific topic. I didn't feel a rush to
79
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.520
put out a new material special because I'm in the
80
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.120
middle of a tour right now and the show's only
81
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.840
going to get better the longer I work on it,
82
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.439
so we went for a seasonal special for my favorite holiday.
83
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.719
As for that next special, I'm aiming to shoot it
84
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.280
early summer next year. I'm still trying to pick where
85
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.280
I want to do it exactly, and that'll help determine when.
86
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.360
But I would like the material special to be out
87
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.719
by next August or sometime around then. I don't want
88
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:07.680
to wait too long. Almost every comedian will tell you
89
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.520
as soon as you film a special, if you continue
90
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.280
to do that material for a couple weeks, you'll always
91
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.120
find extra things that make you go rats. If I
92
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.319
had only waited a little bit longer a lot of Netflix. Today,
93
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.439
Netflix put out a first look at Free Bert, the
94
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.120
upcoming six episode scripted comedy series starring Bert Krescher finds
95
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.360
himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to
96
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.360
an elite Beverly Hills private school. When Bert Krascher's unbridled
97
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.120
antics turn his family into outcasts. He decides to put
98
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.680
on a shirt and stifle his true nature to better
99
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.959
fit in. I don't know. I want to say it
100
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.560
doesn't sound bad, but that might actually sound bad. I
101
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.160
like Burt a lot, but I could see this being
102
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:50.600
really hacky, cheesy and almost being like something Kevin James
103
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.720
should start in. But we'll see. I'm expecting today for
104
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.279
Billboard to release the rest of their top twenty five
105
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.160
Comedians of the twenty first century so far. Now. The
106
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.120
reason I'm not sure or is they said they would
107
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.160
release it on Friday, December sixth. There is no such
108
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.199
date this year, but I'm guessing it would be weird
109
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.959
to put it out on a Saturday, so probably out today.
110
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.959
They have released twenty five through sixteen. I have commented
111
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.680
on that, so if you'd like to hear my comments now,
112
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.839
I have released it as a bonus episode for the
113
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.040
paid subscribers. For everyone else, I have recorded it and
114
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.680
scheduled it for the December twenty eighth issue. Let's be Frank.
115
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.199
Johnny Mack wants to hang out on Christmas, so it
116
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.519
was a real easy thing for me to record, and
117
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.600
as soon as they release fifteen through one. I will
118
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.319
record the December twenty ninth episode and also release that
119
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.959
early as a bonus episode. So, Johnny Mack, how do
120
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.160
I get these bonus episodes? Okay, here's what you do.
121
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.000
You become a premium subscriber to the show. How do
122
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.079
I do that? I open up the Apple Podcasts app.
123
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.759
There's a banner it says uninterrupted listening. You click that,
124
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.439
and then for five bucks a month, you get this
125
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.160
show without commercials, and you can access the bonus episodes,
126
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.000
and you get other things on the network ad free,
127
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.480
including five Good News Stories, which I host in five
128
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.480
daily Trivia Questions is pretty popular. So you can access
129
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.839
all that. And if you're like, hey, Shohnny Mack, you're
130
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.439
just try and ate us up for five bucks, take
131
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.160
the free trial. It's a thirty day free trial. It's
132
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.079
on you to remember to cancel it otherwise I'm going
133
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.639
to get five bucks. But if you want to hear
134
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.439
that episode, now sign up, listen to it, wait for
135
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.279
me to drop the other one, and then cancel it.
136
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.240
No problem, I can't speak today. You guys are not
137
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:20.720
going to hear all the edits that I'm going to
138
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.920
wind up making but boy, I can't speak. I think
139
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.519
my brain is broken. I was at trivia the other night.
140
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.680
I think it was personally just for me, not my team,
141
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.399
just me, my worst trivia outing. I sat there one round.
142
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.240
I didn't know the answer to one of the eight
143
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.000
questions and there were multiple choice questions and I was like,
144
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.839
I have no idea and that doesn't happen. Also, I
145
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.600
wasn't drinking. I'm not a big drinker. If you hang
146
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.399
around me, you'll hear me say two beers, not eight.
147
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.600
So usually a trivia I'll have one beer, sometimes two.
148
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.279
But this week Johnny Mac needs to lose weight, and
149
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.120
as I've been joking with a family, I need to lose.
150
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.759
By the time you're hearing this, I have about three
151
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.279
hours left before my physical to lose twenty five pounds.
152
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.360
So I was like, eh, I'm not going to drink
153
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.120
and I'm not going to get Wednesday Night Chief Steak
154
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.600
with the guys. So I just sat there and drank
155
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.199
my water. Is my brain superpowered by brewery beer? Because
156
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.439
I knew nothing and I can't speak today, and the
157
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.560
boiler's not working again today. It's no joke. Fifty eight
158
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.839
degrees in my house I may have to actually use
159
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.879
the fireplace as a fireplace. It's that cold. Maybe that's
160
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.839
why my brain's not working. I quite digress. Where were we?
161
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.399
Roywood Junior is getting a holiday special. It is titled
162
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.120
a CNN Special Event colon Roywood Junior is very very
163
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.759
very merry Holiday Special. This will be on CNN Sunday,
164
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.959
December fourteenth at eight pm. I'll be watching football. You'll
165
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.079
be claiming that Bob's Burgers is on, which it's not
166
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.560
not going there today. The special, hosted by Roy Wood Junior,
167
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.199
will be from Washington, d C. He'll be joined by
168
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.879
surprise guests from across comedy and music, as well as
169
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.319
the US Air Force Band. Now I've been doing this
170
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.279
for a while. If they're saying surprise, guess it means
171
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.639
this show's not booked yet. They think they know who's coming,
172
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.000
but they're not confident enough to put it in a press release.
173
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.920
It's very interesting. Can't get a kidder? Been doing this
174
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.560
a minute, see, and you don't have anyone booked. Roy
175
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.680
Wood Junior said, I was hoping the White House ball
176
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.319
Room would be done by then for us to shoot
177
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.680
the special, but I'm understanding constructions A little behind. Nonetheless,
178
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.519
I'm excited to celebrate the holidays while honoring our troops
179
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.160
and our government workers, and also having an opportunity to
180
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.959
rewar my nice green jacket from the Peabody Awards, but
181
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.240
this time with a little red in it. David Letterman.
182
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.519
He'll be on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday, December ninth. It'll
183
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.680
be Letterman's seventh appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, is first
184
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.840
since March twenty twenty three. Eight. Boy, I hope they
185
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.320
find something to talk about. I've been texting on the
186
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.200
side with Mike from the still titled Letterman Podcast. We
187
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.360
may jump in the studio. I have to watch the
188
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.720
Sandler Letterman thing, and then this Kimmel thing will give
189
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.720
us a lot of Letterman to talk about, so that
190
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.000
could happen next week. Johnny Macleck's a good fight now?
191
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.600
Is this one real? Is this a put on slash film?
192
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.200
Says Tim Hideker hates Kyle Mooney a least that's the
193
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:55.759
impression you would get if you watch any of the
194
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.879
pair's recent interactions, which have been so awkward and tense
195
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.440
that many fans are warnering just what Mooney has done
196
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.120
to stoke the ire of Tim Highdecker. They wonder are
197
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.080
we witnessing one of the best long running bits of
198
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.679
the last few decades, or perhaps not. On November twenty first,
199
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.399
Kyle Mooney posted a video for his new song Missus
200
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.320
Claus is Getting Down. Tim Highdecker commented corny as hell.
201
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.759
Back in twenty twenty three, Kyle Mooney was on the
202
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.759
Office Hours Live podcast and Tim high Decker mocked him
203
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.840
for two hours. Afterward, Tim spoke about people contacting him
204
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.399
to ask what was going on. Apparently Michael Showalter reached
205
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.000
out and was like, is everything cool here? Then on
206
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.519
Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett's podcast, he terribly named what's
207
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.679
our podcast? Tim again belittled Kyle Mooney, suggesting that he
208
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.320
and Beck Bennett create a new podcast, interrogating why they
209
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.320
haven't become huge stars. In the wake of SNL, fans
210
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.960
said they were bummed out by Tim's appearance, thinking it
211
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.399
was too real. Is this real or is it calf manesque?
212
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.919
Who knows? I have to go to a wedding tonight
213
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.840
otherwise and I'm not doing a bit. I really do
214
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.080
have to go to wedding tonight, and for real, otherwise
215
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.679
I would be watching Netflix tonight. It is the debut
216
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.720
of j Kelly. Now this isn't really a comedy item,
217
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.639
so you forgive me for straying into drama. But the
218
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.519
great dramatic actor Adam Sandler, who we talk about a
219
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.000
lot on this program, he is in this and apparently
220
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.840
really good. How could he not be? He is a
221
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.799
great dramatic actor, and he's not doing comedy here, which
222
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.039
is what Adam Sandler should be doing with his time
223
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.879
on the planet, acting and never doing comedy. Sandlor and
224
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.639
George Clooney, who I'm often confused for, especially now that
225
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.000
I'm dieting. People all the time are like, are you
226
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.200
George Clooney? Why do you have Adam Sandler in your movie?
227
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.039
And I'm like, hey, he's a great dramatic actor, and
228
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.840
b no, I'm not George Clooney, the real George Clooney.
229
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.480
Adam Sandler did a round table with The New York Times.
230
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.159
Colooney asked Adam, how many auditions did you go on
231
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.120
before you got a gig? Sandler said, over and over.
232
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.759
Never got hired. It never got in my way. Cloney said,
233
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.879
it did not deter you, Sandlor, because I was young.
234
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:48.639
I was like, all right, I keep going go until
235
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.600
it happens. Clooney explained, for most people that first know
236
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.480
is devastating. The difference in what we do for a
237
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.240
living is that the goods that you're selling is you.
238
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.600
So when they say no, thank you, it's personal. You
239
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.039
have to be tough skinned enough to say I'm going
