00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.320
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:11.960
This is one of those days where I couldn't wait

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.359
to get the mic. I'm telling you, I taped this

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.559
right after I recorded a Tuesday show because I couldn't wait. So,

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.679
if you're like Johnny Mack, Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld

6
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:22.839
had a street brawl, how can we not talking about it?

7
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.920
If that happened, I'll do it as a bonus episode.

8
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.160
The Sebastian Manuscaco thing has me out of my mind.

9
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.280
But there's even one more thing before that that I

10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:31.839
want to go first. And I say, Hi, Hi, I'm

11
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.039
Johnny mcdaily Comedy News. You figured all that outl ready.

12
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.320
Let's do this a little cornack Red Fox, Rick James

13
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.520
and Buckwheat, Red Fox, Rick James and Buckwheat. You see,

14
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.039
there's this new Eddie Murphy documentary that I don't even

15
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.240
think I mentioned. Yesterday was so packed. That's out on Netflix.

16
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.240
We're gonna have a ton of Eddie Murphy press this week.

17
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.799
He'll be out making the rounds and I'm sure I'll

18
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:54.320
do a lot of Eddie stories this the week goes on.

19
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.799
But this headline was too good. Red Fox, Rick James

20
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.240
and Buckwheat. Eddie Murphy told USA Today, I paid for

21
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.799
a lot of funerals, but I don't go to funerals Eddie,

22
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.000
who's sixty four now, which is just terrifying because he

23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.280
used to be nineteen back when I was fourteen thirteen.

24
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.879
Eddie revealed that he has paid for the funerals of

25
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.400
Red Fox Rick James, purchased tombstones for William Buckwheat, Thomas Junior,

26
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.159
who you may know from The Little Rascal Slash Our

27
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.280
Gang Slash Eddie playing a version of that character on SNL,

28
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.120
and Tim Moore, who played Kingfish on Amos and Andy.

29
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.400
Eddie shared he'd only attended two funerals in his life.

30
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.760
The first was for his biological father, Charles Edward Murphy,

31
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.040
and for his stepfather Vernon Lynch. Eddie said they shouldn't

32
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.640
even have funerals. I'm like, this funeral is morbid. The

33
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.879
whole people in attendant sing your loved one out there emotionally.

34
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.519
The whole ritual is too much. So no JUDGMENTI I'm

35
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.879
just observing that implies. Eddie did not attend the funeral

36
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.120
of his brother, Charlie Murphy. Eddie said he plans to

37
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.640
be cremated when his time comes. I'm on that same boat,

38
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.200
Eddie says. When I kick out, I'm not having no

39
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.920
funeral and being laying up there and people coming and

40
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.439
look at me, luring me on the ground, and there's

41
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.359
no funeral and there's no memorial, none of that stuff.

42
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.239
Just keep it rolling, none of that trauma. It's way

43
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.280
too much a funeral. I agree. Eddie doesn't care what

44
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.159
happens with his ashes. He says, I don't give an

45
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:13.319
f what they do with them. Just as long as

46
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:14.960
you don't have people standing around in my ashes and

47
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.560
not trying to be in the urn while everybody's crying.

48
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.360
I don't want to have that moment, Okay. Sebastian Maniscalco's

49
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.000
trailer Johnny Mack, you've been screaming about it for two days.

50
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.319
How bad could it be? Well, I'm going to play

51
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.240
it for you, but I need you to understand. Why

52
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.400
don't you go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News

53
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.240
Podcast group where I posted this trailer, Because what you're

54
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.039
not going to see here on this audio podcast is

55
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.560
just the stupid faces Sebastian is making to sell these jokes.

56
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.360
I mean, like hacks are like, oh my God, are

57
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.360
you a hack? This is just unbelievable. Now, I'll play

58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.680
you the material. The material is not great, but when

59
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.560
you add on the stupid faces, this is just atrocious.

60
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.719
So this has me wondering. Is hilarious where comedy acts

61
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.080
go to? Like Bill Burr went on hilarious and handing

62
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.319
in his worst special, Gaffigan Special was not his best?

63
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.319
Is hilarious not the place for good comedy. It's hilarious

64
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:11.919
where you go when you're on your way down? Is

65
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.360
that what hilarious is? I'm out of my mind at

66
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.199
this trailer, So I've made a couple of its here

67
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.680
because there's a lot of music and you don't need

68
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.800
to hear the music. I'll leave the comedy parts alone,

69
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.680
but please understand you're not seeing the horrific faces. Go

70
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.319
to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News. Did I say

71
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.439
YouTube earlier? It's a Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast

72
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.360
Group on Facebook. Daily Comedy News Podcast Group on Facebook.

73
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.000
I have posted this trailer. You have to see how

74
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.840
bad it is. But let's listen.

75
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:42.319
I have a mild case of sleep app ding. This

76
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.400
is where I'm at. I'm gonna take my mouth shut

77
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.680
so I don't pass away in my sleep. If someone

78
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.879
came to rob my house, they would look at me

79
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.520
and go, someone was already here.

80
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:55.960
Let's go.

81
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.680
I went to a drug store today. It took out

82
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.639
can by the way you take out cash nowadays, like kryptonite.

83
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.520
This kid was in his early twenties. He's like, what

84
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.120
is that? I said, it's money.

85
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:07.919
It's used for goods and services.

86
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:09.879
Some people do venmo.

87
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.680
Maybe you went out to dinner. Somebody paid, and then

88
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.759
the rest of the group said, no, well.

89
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.839
Venmo you later, no, you pay me.

90
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:24.279
No you ever look at Jeff Bezos thirty years ago.

91
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.959
I was a complete nerd.

92
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.560
You take a look at Bezos now ripped the shreds

93
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.560
on his super yacht in the Medidaranian and the.

94
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:41.560
Boxes keeping coming. What's the doctor comes in.

95
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.120
She's like, we're gonna need some urine. Gotta tell you

96
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:45.000
people something.

97
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:50.199
My sample for you. I wouldn't mind next to a

98
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.279
guys that look like Scotch.

99
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.639
I'm not handing in root beer as a sample.

100
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.839
I mean, she Louise Sebastian, what is going on with that?

101
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.879
Not good? Not good? All right, let's stop off on

102
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.240
gossip corner. One of the Facebook group members sent me

103
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.079
this one on the side. This was on Instagram. Somebody

104
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.279
on Instagram goes by the handle McCoy jen Fan. Now,

105
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:17.600
I don't know if this is true or not, but

106
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.720
this is according to McCoy jen Fans, so this may

107
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.839
not be true at all. This is not news. This

108
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:27.759
is gossip Corner. McCoy Jenfans said of Nicky Glazer's controversial

109
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.439
SNL appearance. And I assume this is during Good Nights.

110
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.040
I'll have to go look at this. The musical guest

111
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.319
standing next to her, but she had to turn around

112
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.319
and approach and impose herself on the cast. I saw

113
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.720
Chloe Feinneman roll her eyes to another cast, remember when

114
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.439
she looked at Nicky's direction. Historically, if the SNL cast

115
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.199
ostracizes the host after the episode, that means it bombed

116
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.279
and they didn't like them. Nicky proved history right. All right, now,

117
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.600
I have this on the DVR. I'm going to pause

118
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.399
my recording and look at this myself. Be right back

119
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.720
well to you. I'll be back in half a second. Okay,

120
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:58.920
it is a half second later. I have here on

121
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.360
my phone the Utube TV app where we don't get

122
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.000
the Disney channels, No ABC, we don't support fascism on

123
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.560
the YouTube app. I'm gonna hit play here, so you'll

124
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.920
kind of here. It should sound like a guy playing

125
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.839
Saturday Night Live on his phone. That is what it

126
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.959
should sound to you. This is not the usual audio

127
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.439
rips I do. And I'll do a little play by

128
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.040
play here. Let's see. Okay, I have it paused. There's

129
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.600
a still card of Nicki Glazer. I'm one hour, thirty

130
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.360
two minutes and fifty four seconds into a file that

131
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.120
is one thirty five oh five. I'm gonna hit play here.

132
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:32.439
Let's see what happens. All right, there's Nicky in the middle. Michael,

133
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.360
this amazing cast, and this was one of the best

134
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.720
weeks of my entire life. Thank you so much for

135
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.680
all right, and we're zooming out, and no one is

136
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.759
approaching Nicki. All right, she hugged Uh she hugged Somber,

137
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:52.040
I guess and uh yeah, No one wants to talk

138
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.319
to Nicky Glazer at all. Oh wow, this is awkward. Wow.

139
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.879
All right, you got to actually see this for yourself,

140
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.519
if you've a way to see it. No one approaching

141
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:06.720
her at all, and that's it. Wow. Yeah, wow. Okay,

142
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.879
Now I'm going to go to the previous week and

143
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.399
see what happened. Be back in half a second. Okay,

144
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.879
I'm back. I tried to look at the Miles Teller episode,

145
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.680
which is also one thirty five oh five, but it

146
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.560
seems to get cut off before the good night. So

147
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.000
here I have queued up here Sabrina Carpenter's episode from

148
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.279
three weeks ago, and we are one thirty two twenty

149
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.160
into a file that's one thirty three forty six. As

150
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.519
a hit play here, she's center stage with the cast

151
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.600
standing in a very similar formation to the Nikky episode.

152
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.319
The Sabrina was her own musical guest, so there's not

153
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.319
a musical guest with her, and let me hit play here.

154
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.120
Let's see what happens.

155
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.560
I'm sure.

156
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.120
Thank you everybody. Thank you so much to Lauren, Thank

157
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.120
you to the amazing past and crew.

158
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.839
This has been one of my biggest dreams and I'm

159
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:52.800
so so grateful.

160
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.800
Thank you guys for having me, thank you for laughing,

161
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.959
and thank you create such an amazing audience. And he

162
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:03.000
very nice. Okay, no one approaching her yet. Let's see,

163
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.600
she's just in the middle. She's walking back now she

164
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.720
is being hugged by cast members and it got cut

165
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.600
off for an NBA promo. So I'm not sure I

166
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.319
have enough evidence there, but the nicky Glazer does seem

167
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.639
a little awkward. The San Francisco Gate went with this headline,

168
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.319
fired SNL comic jokes about the Warriors and Nancy Pelosi

169
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.040
at San Francisco set. You know who the fired SNL

170
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.800
comic is? Shane Gillis? Is that what his resume is?

171
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.839
Just forever? Just that he was invited to the cast, disinvited,

172
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.240
and he's now been on the show twice, so it

173
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.200
seems like we're all over it. And it's not like

174
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.240
he played the Riodd Comedy Festival. We're really just gonna

175
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.639
call Shane Gillis fired SNL comic forever. I guess we are.

176
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.799
The SF Gate right says tens of thousands descended on

177
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.200
the Chase Center, blowing vape smoke and chugging last minute

178
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.799
bud lights. It's easy to forget what an odd route

179
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.600
headliner Shane Gillis is taken to the top of the

180
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.639
comedy industry. They are minus. In twenty nineteen, Gillis was

181
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.720
hired and probably fired by SNL. If you listen to

182
00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.519
me every day, you're probably familiar with that. I will

183
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.840
skip ahead. Early into his hour long set, Shane Gillis

184
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.159
said this will all end soon, The Gate tells us.

185
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.840
Gillis referenced his friendship with Joe Rogan and made jokes

186
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.600
about pedophilia, Black Lives Matter, and people with Down syndrome,

187
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.799
but no one at the Chase Center walked out, We're

188
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.200
so much as booed their displeasure. Gillis apparently was approving

189
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.440
of the crowd's stomach for his more controversial material and said, Okay,

190
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.000
you guys can f around a little. The Gates says,

191
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.360
for what it's worth, the only I've heard at a

192
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.639
Bay Area comedy show where when Dave Chappelle brought out

193
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.279
Elon Musk, Gillis told a joke about going to a

194
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.480
Pride parade. It did not go over, and he said

195
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.679
that one might have been more transphobic than funny, which

196
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.240
is a great way to recover. We're told Gillis was

197
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.200
a welcome relief after his two openers, James McCann and

198
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.279
Tommy Pope, slogged their way through tire jokes about the

199
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.000
WNBA in San Francisco's gay population. They add, it's hard

200
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.039
to get an exact read on Gillis's politics. He freely

201
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.799
admits he looks like the kind of person who'd resegregate schools,

202
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.360
but he's taken as many shots at the right as

203
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.440
he does the left. Jim Gaffigan got a major watch

204
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.919
job by Variety while Johnny Mack was on a plane

205
00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.279
the other day. By the way, I forgot to mention

206
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:04.320
yesterday show, if you are traveling, be ready, Just be ready.

207
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.159
My flight home took off at two twenty am. That

208
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.480
was not the plan. It's a mess out there. When

209
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.240
we landed at Newark, I counted there were two runways.

210
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.159
I counted on the closer runway twenty five planes waiting

211
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.720
to take off. The other runway had more than twenty five.

212
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.320
I would guess forty or so just waiting. Because you know,

213
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.279
you leave your gate, so your flight is technically on time.

214
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.720
The departures on time. The arrival that's the arrival airports problem.

215
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.720
But we took off from gate B seventy three. We're

216
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:36.480
good here. What a mess, stay home. Watch job for

217
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.559
Jim Gaffigan from Variety. They write, if Tom Hanks is

218
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.279
known as the ever man of movies, you know the

219
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.759
ordinary guy so approachable and unpretentious that just about anybody

220
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.320
can relate to him in one way or another. Then

221
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.240
Jim Gaffigan is the every man of comedy. Are they

222
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.440
saying that Tom Hanks wouldn't call you back if you

223
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.159
helped him early in his career? Is that what they're

224
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:57.120
saying about Tom Hanks? That's not cool, Tom Hanks. If

225
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.279
somebody had you on the radio show when you weren't

226
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.600
that well known, and you would come up, and then

227
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.799
suddenly you were too good to come up, people would

228
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.639
say you were a jerk Tom Hanks. I hope that's

229
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.679
not true. That would be awful if that were true

230
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.879
of Tom Hanks. I can't believe Tom Hanks would behave

231
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:18.960
that way. Pauseka's hostess making himself laugh. Jim Gaffigan focuses

232
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.799
his humor on everyday observations about universal experiences. Jim said

233
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.960
of the current climate, not the actual climate, the political climate.

234
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.440
Jim said, I think this will go down in history,

235
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.960
and it may be ending as we speak, but this

236
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.200
is the best time that stand up comedy has ever had.

237
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.360
When I started Versus, even in the time of Lenny

238
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.200
Bruce or George Cartland, comedy was a much more middle class,

239
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:41.000
lower middle class occupation, meaning there wasn't an expectation of

240
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.919
upper middle class existence. Now, if you're a functional comedian,

241
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.080
you can make a great living. So from a monetary standpoint,

242
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.200
like having a kind of financial security, it would never exist,

243
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.159
but it exists now. Jim talked about not putting politics

244
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:54.960
in the act, but used the pandemic as an example,

245
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.960
and he said, there were expectations that you can address it.

246
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.799
But people, we've gone through the pandemic, we don't hear

247
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.480
too much about it. Meetians that will have very strong views.

248
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:02.960
You know, I have a formula bringing up this hot

249
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.399
button issue. Their audience will stay with them. They'll have

250
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.960
some brilliant insights surrounding it. But I'm kind of the opinion,

251
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.759
you know, people they want to live in denial, but

252
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:11.879
they also want to break from it. I think that

253
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.960
might be majorly informed by the one time Jim did

254
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.159
get political on Twitter and got a lot of comments

255
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.960
in his general direction. The article then gets a lot

256
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.519
of run from Caroline Hirst, who seems to be pretty

257
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.360
tight with the variety folks. Caroline's getting a lot of

258
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.480
press during this festival anyway, Jim Gaffigan wax job in Variety,

259
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.120
and Bill Burr still getting a lot of work despite

260
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.679
playing the reodd Comedy Festival doesn't seem to have messed

261
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.320
him up at all. He's even nominated for a Grammy Award. Well.

262
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.519
Bill Burr is joining the cast of Bender, a coming

263
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.960
of age comedy which is going to film in Ireland

264
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:49.080
next spring. It's described as super bad meets dairy Girls.

265
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.639
Doesn't that sound fantastic? Yeah? Bender is based on the

266
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.799
late seventies punk Dublin coming of age experiences of Adrian Cunningham,

267
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.960
who wrote the script. The story unfolds around the frenzy

268
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.039
surrounding the impending visit by the Pope. Bill Burr plays

269
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.519
a gruff American record store owner who convinces a ragtag

270
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.480
gang of teenage misfits that they're best and possibly only

271
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.919
chance to lose their virginity before graduating high school. Is

272
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.679
at a massive open air mass for visiting the Pope.

273
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.879
Are you just imagine this? Hey? You want to get laid,

274
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.480
you gotta go see the Pope? Okay, like that is

275
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:28.159
that what Bill Burr's doing? Now? Okay, Johnny Mack, you

276
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.279
are feisty today. I told you The Sebastian trailer really

277
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.799
wound me up. I had to record back to back

278
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.679
all right. New York Comedy Festival continues. See if the

279
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.039
website's working today, Johnny said, you taped it back to

280
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.080
back episodes. You know that the website's working. You just

281
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.320
used it ten minutes ago. Look go with the bit,

282
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.000
will you. I'm not reading fifty things like I did

283
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:52.879
on yesterday's podcast. Let's look for big names. You don't

284
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:57.320
make this easy. No no no no no no no

285
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:04.799
no no no. That's ten no no. Todd Glass, no

286
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:10.279
no no, no, no no no. Alex Borstein at seventh

287
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.440
thirty at the Bell House. Mike Kaplan at q ed

288
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.159
Astoria at seventh thirty. I mean, Mike's pretty solid and

289
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.679
probably the best comic I've mentioned in a couple of days.

290
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.799
And he's doing Queens and I'm from Queen's. I'm allowed

291
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.600
to insult Queen's. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, boy,

292
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.200
this is just it's just off this year. Matty Smith

293
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.519
at nine fifteen. No no no no no. Chris Gethard

294
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.960
at ten o'clock at UCB Comics to watch Unrepped at ten.

295
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.759
Leonard Hoods at ten thirty. I mean, he's really good,

296
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.039
but nobody knows how it is and not your Wednesday

297
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.720
at the New York Comedy Festival. Well let's do this

298
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.720
one because Wednesday is trivia night. Now, I know the

299
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.559
trivia guys listen, and no, I haven't been there, not

300
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.799
that it really matters. With the trivia guys, They've got

301
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.360
this whole business going on. The place is so outed.

302
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.399
We're at the point of the Yogi bar line of

303
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.720
nobody goes there. It's two crowded. The trivia guys got

304
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.519
it rocky. I mean, I have to leave my house

305
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.639
like an hour and a half before trivia to make

306
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.240
sure I get my table in the corner. So trivia guys,

307
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.039
I know you listen. I appreciate you listening. I feel

308
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:15.639
bad I have to be there. It's just been such

309
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.240
a busy, crazy months. My plan is to be there

310
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.559
this evening. But I saw this story and I was thinking,

311
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.639
maybe we should combine forces from La Magazine, Comedy Club,

312
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.639
The Crow, and Santa Monica. I should have hit it

313
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.159
when I was out there over the weekend. I had

314
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:32.080
a very busy weekend. They have Trivial comedy, an intense,

315
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.279
hilarious news show for stand up lovers, fun fact enthusiasts,

316
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.960
and everyone in between. Right, how does this work? Each

317
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.480
show welcomes five comedians each do a ten minute set

318
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.879
around a classic pub trivia category like or it's an

319
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:49.120
entertainment or sports. Between the comedian sets, the host asked

320
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:53.279
the audience trivia questions. Trivia guys, we gotta combine. We'll

321
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.799
talk to other brewery folks, set up shop on a

322
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:59.519
Saturday night. There's a thing here. First place wins fifty bucks.

323
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.080
Best team name gets a free beer. I don't know

324
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.559
how we'll decide who has the best team name, and

325
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.960
it won't be me, because I'm just gonna use the

326
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.639
team name I use every week. Audience members can play

327
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:12.240
in teams up to four one of the host set.

328
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.000
I've seen people who don't know each other but join

329
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.480
teams together just because they want maximum power. As a

330
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.600
trivia expert who often finishes in tenth place, here's what

331
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.519
you gotta do. You can't just have a bunch of

332
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.159
guys in their late fifties early sixties. That doesn't work.

333
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.919
You gotta have one of the guys bring their twenty

334
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.799
something year old daughter and then she gets like five

335
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.080
extra points because the trivia guys they'll ask what I

336
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:36.720
call the Ariana Grande questions that we just don't know.

337
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.960
But when daughter comes then you get those points. And

338
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:42.440
those are the weeks that you do okay, and you

339
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.039
get a T shirt or a hat. You're a growler.

340
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.360
And I'll leave you with this. Comedian Catherine Ryan gotten

341
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.559
in some trouble. She was on the original UK version

342
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.399
of Have I Got News for You, and she called

343
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.600
Sir David Beckham the C word. Yeah, she was hosting

344
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.840
the show. The conversation turned to Sir Beckham being knighted

345
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.879
by King Charles. I'm sure you listen to the Palace

346
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:05.480
Intrigue podcast that are right four and you know all

347
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.559
about that story. If you don't Palace Intrigue wherever you

348
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.920
get your shows. Apparently in the past, Sir Beckham was

349
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.480
upset that he hadn't been knighted and had called the

350
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.039
Honors committee unappreciative sea words and said it was a

351
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.519
disgrace they had been snubbed from the New Year's Honors list. However,

352
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.920
now that he's a knight Comedian Mazie Adam was on

353
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.160
the panel and said it would have been nice and

354
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.359
maybe poetic if Charles had gotten his own back, nighting

355
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.079
him and going a rise, You sea word. Katherin Ryan

356
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.000
tagged with, I don't know if we're allowed to broadcast

357
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.599
the sea word, but you did reference Victoria Beckham earlier,

358
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.119
and we'll allow that ouch. And that's your comedy news

359
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:39.960
for today by
