00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.880
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.160
From the basement where the landscapers leaf flowers are so

3
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.759
loud I can even hear them with headphones on behind

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.120
closed doors. I'm Johnny back with your Daily Comedy and

5
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.280
who was a daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians

6
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.719
and the comedy industry. Listen to David Cross on Bill Mooher.

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.399
I've said this before. If you asked me, Hey, do

8
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.399
you like Bill Maher, I think I would just say no.

9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.120
And every time I listen to his podcast, I find

10
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.200
it really compelling. He and David Cross just had a bizarre,

11
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.399
feisty conversation. It was wonderful. One of the topics they

12
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.320
clashed about was over transgender politics, and the quote unquote

13
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.439
looney left Bill Maher said, good luck with President Vance.

14
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.719
David Cross had casually mentioned that his nine year old

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.679
daughter had transgender pals in third grade. Cross had already

16
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.200
admitted that he lives in a bubble. Bill mooh were

17
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.240
calling an anecdote from Seth Moulton, the Democratic representative out

18
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.159
of Massachusetts. As that anecdote goes. Molten said, Look, I

19
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.719
don't want my twelve year old daughter to be on

20
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.480
the soccer field and be run over by someone who's

21
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.760
identifying as a woman but is really a boy. A

22
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.599
lot of people applauded him for that. Mar continued, I

23
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.040
mean we saw in the Olympics, so and okay born

24
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.480
a man now fighting as a woman. Boxer just beat

25
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.760
the dog crap out of a woman. The other boxer.

26
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.560
A lot of people would disturb by that. It's very

27
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.640
disturbing to watch because it's a man beating the crap

28
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.640
out of a woman. I'm just saying there's stuff inside

29
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.319
the bubble that could be bad. Cross claimed that he's

30
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.599
seen prepbescent girls kick the crap out of boys. Mar said,

31
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.359
that's what's wrong with the looney Left. They just die

32
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.280
on hills that are unnecessary to die on. Later in

33
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.480
the show, Cross mentioned that his daughter has transgender friends.

34
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.400
Mar said, wait, she has trans friends in the third grade.

35
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.159
They know they're trans in third grade. Cross said, well,

36
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.079
nobody's doing this to her. Mar said, somebody is doing something,

37
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.959
because eight or nine year olds can't do anything on

38
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.040
their own. They agreed to disagree, and that's when more equipped.

39
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.760
Good luck with President Vance. As I say to my

40
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.359
woke friends, we voted for the same person. You're just

41
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.719
why she loves. This is a case of that. Cross went,

42
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.840
wait what Maer said, we voted for the same person.

43
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.760
You're just why she lost. America's here this and they're

44
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.719
gonna go. Bill's right. Eight year olds can't really make

45
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.879
decisions on their own like this. That's what most people

46
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.680
are gonna say. And this is where the Democrats are

47
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.280
with David Cross living in Brooklyn with man Donnie loving,

48
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:17.919
and this is why you know we're gonna vote for

49
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.319
Jade Vance. That's American in a nutshell. The conversation turned

50
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.960
to New York City Mayor Zora and Mamdanni Mar called

51
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.360
him a straight up communist. David Cross said, no, he's not.

52
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.039
He's not Bill. Bill moore Than talked Cea Weaver. I

53
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.039
hope I'm pronouncing miss Weaver's first name correctly. Ceam unfamiliar

54
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.360
with her. She serves as the director of the New

55
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.560
York City Mayor's Office to protect tenants. David Cross said

56
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.599
he had no idea who she was. Mar explained, she's

57
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.840
the head of like we're gonna fix housing. This is

58
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.879
what got him elected. He has not disavowed her, and

59
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.639
I could show you all her tweets that she's put

60
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.280
out over the last few years and quotes, and one

61
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.360
of them is elect more communists. I don't think you

62
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.280
have to read between the lines, so somebody he stands

63
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.919
with and by saying that, and also her other quotes

64
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.360
are like all home own ownership is racist. David Cross said, well,

65
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.719
that's ridiculous. Cross said he would look up more information

66
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.479
on Weaver. In a different part of the conversation, David

67
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.560
Cross almost laughed in Bill Maher's face. And I'm not

68
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.599
even sure almost is the right description there. He definitely laughed.

69
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.639
Maybe he just wasn't close enough to his face. Bill

70
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.319
Maher suggested that Bill Maher has been soft canceled.

71
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.639
Let's listen, people Sindis want to say cancel. People aren't

72
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.199
canceled because they're still doing this, or that there are

73
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.719
different gradations of it. There's soft canceling. I would say,

74
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.039
I've had some of that happen to me. What soft

75
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.960
canceling would be like, we will never give you an Emmy,

76
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:48.240
even though plainly I've deserved them. No, Bill, No, you

77
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.159
don't think I've ever show they don't know.

78
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.360
What the what the categories of the context or any

79
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.159
of that anyway that episode of the podcast is well

80
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.840
worth your time. There's a new performer who has signed

81
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.080
up for the Netflix As a Joke Festival, which starts

82
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.479
next week. That new performer is Dave Chappelle, who will

83
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.000
perform three shows at the Hollywood Palladium May seventh, eighth,

84
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.639
and ninth. Craig Ferguson is going to celebrate USA two

85
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.759
point fifty with his new CNN series American on Purpose.

86
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.759
Craig explains, one of the greatest things about being American

87
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.720
is the fact that what that actually means isn't always

88
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.040
been up for discussion. My idea of life, liberty, and

89
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.639
the pursuit of happiness isn't necessarily yours. Being American is

90
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.040
like stretching nitwear. It looks different on everybody, and I'm

91
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.519
fascinated by the endless variety of compatriots. There is a

92
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.519
trailer for it. It's pretty visual. I went to pull

93
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.720
it and I'm like, yeah, that's not going to make

94
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.879
sense for the show, Craig said, I love this place.

95
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.040
I want to show you why I became American on Purpose.

96
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.680
Kevin Hart's sixth film for Netflix, seventy two Hours, will

97
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.399
be out July twenty fourth. I didn't realize Kevin did

98
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.879
five movies that were for Netflix. I'd have to look

99
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.079
that up, but sure. In seventy two hours, Kevin Hart

100
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.439
is joined by Ben Marshall. All right, the please don't

101
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.079
destroy guys, we like him. Cam Patterson somehow got a

102
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.839
second gig after his stint on SNL that I think

103
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.959
is won and done. And you know who else is

104
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.639
in this Marcelo Hernandez oh Boy. Kevin Hart plays Joe,

105
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.959
a married father of three who, after mistakenly being included

106
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.360
in an email chain for a bachelor party, joins the

107
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.120
group for wild seventy two hours in Miami. Amused in

108
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.079
nostalgic for his own wild days, Joe Kevin Art keeps

109
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.439
reading the emails, reminiscing about a time when life was

110
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.839
more care free. Eventually, he comes clean about the mistake,

111
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.439
revealing who he is and he wasn't actually meant to

112
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.079
be on the chain. To his surprise, the group's best man, Nick,

113
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.319
invites him to join the trip for real. What Joe

114
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.199
doesn't know is that Nick has ulterior motives. He hopes

115
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.920
that Joe's presence in his settled domestic life will convince

116
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.600
his best friend Mason to call off the wedding, but

117
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.720
Nick's plan quickly backfires as Joe's unexpected arrival profoundly impacts

118
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.279
everyone involved. I want to know more about who Marcelo

119
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.600
Hernandez is playing. I can guess. I'm pretty sure I

120
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.199
know what Marselo Hernandez's character will be on IMDb. The

121
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.720
character doesn't even have a name, but I'm pretty sure

122
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.000
I know what it's gonna be. There's also a trailer

123
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.000
out for ted Lasso season four, and honestly, I didn't

124
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.079
make it halfway through it. I was just like, I'm

125
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.360
so sad because we all love that show, especially during

126
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.600
the pandemic, and it just hit all the right spots.

127
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.199
I feel like they waited too long, and I'm not

128
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.519
sure I'm excited about this new plot. Season four of

129
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.759
ted Lasso will debut August fifth. Episodes drop weekly until

130
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.079
October seventh. Season four sees ted Lasso returning to Richmond

131
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.519
to coach a second division women's soccer team. In a trailer,

132
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.519
ted Lasso is seen trying to coach his young team.

133
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.040
We're told throughout the course of the season, Ted and

134
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.839
the team learned to leap before they look, taking chances

135
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.920
they never thought they would. Anna Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein,

136
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.879
Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift all return. They are joined

137
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.959
by some new cast members. I don't know. I mean,

138
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:57.879
I'll watch, but I have a feeling my wife and

139
00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.720
I are gonna give each other the do we actually

140
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.240
want to watch this face? Things are hot for the

Unfortunately for her, Steve's more than ready for the attack.

00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.319
million dollars. Pete Davidson attempting to move to Staten Island.

156
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.399
Pete purchased the four bedroom, three bath home in twenty

157
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.279
twenty three for one point nine five million dollars. Not

158
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.680
sure what's going on with Pete Davidson. He appears to

159
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.800
need money, which is surprising. He should have some money.

160
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.160
Website the city has a suggestion for that Staten Island

161
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.399
ferry owned by Pete Davidson and Colin Jost, the state

162
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.319
official in charge of creating habitats for underwater creatures, told

163
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.920
the city he wants the ferry. That's right. Marine biologist

164
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:28.160
and diver Chris Laporta runs the state Department of Conservation's

165
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.120
Artificial reef program. Porta said, something like a Staten Island

166
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.879
ferry would be approaching a naval vessel. They're gorgeous. They

167
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.639
would make a fine habitat for sure. Think about the

168
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.360
iconic look on the bottom for divers, because you've got

169
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.919
that beautiful blazing orange of the navy blue. It would

170
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.399
be something should New York could be able to acquire

171
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.639
the ferry Laporta would sink it in one of the

172
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.799
designated reef zones that can create complex habitats which otherwise

173
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.200
do not exist on the flat sandy bottoms of New

174
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.720
York Waters. On SNL a few months back, Pete Davidson said,

175
00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.200
in case you're wondering why how to do a show

176
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.279
in Saudi Arabia, We're losing millions on this ferry in

177
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.480
New York City today it is the Paragon Comedy Festival.

178
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.759
It takes place starting tonight through May second, twelve shows

179
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.399
across the three floors at Paragon Sports in Union Square.

180
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.720
I love the idea of this festival. It has sold

181
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.080
out two years in a row. That is part of

182
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.320
the fun of the Paragon Comedy Festival. Secret lineups now.

183
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.600
In the past, folks like Marcelo Hernandez have showed up,

184
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.879
and I'm pretty sure we know what Marcello Hernanez did.

185
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.200
Other comedians who have shown up at Underground Overground comedy

186
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.279
shows have included Sam Marill, Roywood Junior, Mark Norman, David Tell,

187
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.759
and others. This year, it's not just comedy, there's also

188
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.559
live magic. It is the Paragon Comedy Festival, kicking off tonight.

189
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.960
Are you in the mood for some more late night shows.

studio audience at late night, bringing in real time reactions

209
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.240
from viewers around the world. I think I'm gonna hate this,

210
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.960
but it's also innovative, So I salute them, and I

211
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.559
support them, and I hope I don't hate it. Each

212
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.600

tap the breaks, NICKI Also. Other guests include Bob Odenkirk,

219
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.480
Tiffany Hattish, Craig Robinson. I thought you quit comedy, buddy.

220
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:34.960
I'm not letting that one go. That was a bad

221
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.360
thing you did, and I'm calling you on it. Sophia Bush,

222
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.320
Jeff Ross, Adam Ray, and some others. So that is

223
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.039
coming soon. This all reminds me I keep forgetting to

224
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.679
bring this up. The Netflix is a joke comedy festival

225
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.679
next week. No one has really pointed this out. John

226
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.440
mulaney is not recording his talk show, and if he's

227
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.360
not making new episodes of his talk show while at

228
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.799
the Netflix Festival, that means that show is dead. So

229
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.639
I'm just pat myself on the back when I said

230
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.799
two years ago that I didn't think the show was working.

231
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.759
Apparently Netflix agrees with me. It could have been good.

232
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.600
It needed to be produced better. And that is your

233
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.240
comedy news for today. I'll catch it tomorrow.
