Calaruga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.960
Idy Home Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Tom

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.800
Papa back on Netflix with his new special Home Free.

4
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:18.280
It's his third four Netflix. In Home Free, Papa holds

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.280
nothing back as his kids are finally out of the

6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:21.920
house and it's just him, his wife, and a bunch

7
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.679
of animals ready to return to their glory days. Tom

8
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:26.760
is seeing a lot over the years, from close calls

9
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.039
with a pachinkle ball to late night seven eleven runs,

10
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.000
and he's sharing all his thoughts as he parties under

11
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.759
the next stage of his life. I can relate. I

12
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.920
don't know if I feel like I'm an empty nester,

13
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:37.960
but none of the birds are home. Man, It's just

14
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.960
me and the wife and the dog. And you know

15
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.280
what I do on Saturday now, I don't know either.

16
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.159
I've been going to soccer games for a decade and

17
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.000
a half. Now I'm like, oh, I don't have anything today,

18
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.640
and I wind up taking out the laptop and making

19
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.960
seven hours of podcast for the various things here on

20
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.719
Calaruga Shrek Media. By the way, you can get this

21
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.719
show and all the other is commercial free, so it's

22
00:00:57.759 --> 00:00:59.079
not just this one. When I hit you up for

23
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.079
the five bucks. This one you get like twenty shows.

Link in the show notes for an Apple podcast, click

25
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.480
the banner. Papa jokes. Now that they're all gone, nobody

26
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.400
tells you how hard it's going to be pretending to

27
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.159
be sad. It is sad, Tom, you know it's sad.

28
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.079
You know it's a little lonely Papa till the la times.

29
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.239
I guess I had a typical experience with my daughters

30
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.760
going to college. That's so called empty nest syndrome. But

31
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.599
I'm not sure when the first one went. We were

32
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.599
crying for a month. It was a two year time span.

33
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.519
But then the second one left and we found ourselves

34
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.439
making dinner reservations and kind of excited about the whole thing.

35
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.359
Like I thought to myself, I could do what I

36
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.120
want and I can actually enjoy things once in a

37
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.799
while without being on someone else's schedule. In case you

38
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.040
missed it, on Sunday, I dropped a bonus episode which

39
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.920
shared the clips of Tony Hinchcliff. You've probably seen Tony

40
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.079
in the news right now. As I suspected his set

41
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.480
got a lot of attention, Tony Hinchcliffe tweeted, these people

42
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.200
have no sense of humor while that a vice presidential

43
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.560
candidate would take time out of his busy schedule to

44
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.599
analyze a joke taken out of context to make it

45
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.200
seem racist. I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I

46
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.920
made fun of everyone, watch the whole set. I'm a comedian,

47
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.200
Tim might be time to change your tampon. Some comedians

48
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.079
weigh in. Andy Kidler replied directly to that tweet, writing

49
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.120
years ago, when I did your kill Tony show at

50
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.080
a festival, I didn't know who you were. I just

51
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.520
assumed you were a highly unpleasant a hole. You certainly

52
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.919
weren't funny. You're a grifter hack that wants to cash

53
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.159
in by catering to your Maga Nazi friends like Rogan

54
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.439
Jon Marco Ciresi. Three separate tweets, One, he wrote, it's

55
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.599
never a pretty sight when an Austin comic tries out

56
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.680
his material in New York two politics aside, there are

57
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.520
so many better racist comedians who deserve that RNC gig

58
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.840
over Tony Hinchcliff. Third one, you ever notice when there's

59
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.280
a debate about the acceptability of a joke, it's almost

60
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.520
always over one of the worst jokes you've ever heard.

61
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.400
Mike lean Black wrote, are you bleeping kidding me? And

62
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.000
you work? Has this guy never seen West Side Story?

63
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.960
But sure no racism within the Trump campaign. And I

64
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.240
like this one from Jesse Case who wrote the really

65
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.159
sad part is that Tony works six months. Is MSG's

66
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.759
door guy for that set? All right? Some folks are

67
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.400
looking for me to comment. Now, Look, it's political season.

68
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.879
I'm not I'm trying to lose half the audience. All

69
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.680
I want you to do is vote whoever you're for.

70
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.520
You vote. I will comment on the joke itself. As

71
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.599
a joke, it's a bit hack. For example, you could

72
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.599
sub in Ireland, Long Island, Epstein Island and the joke

73
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.919
works the same. For example, say we're in Los Angeles

74
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.879
during the World Series and I said this joke. I

75
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.639
don't know if you know this, but there's a floating

76
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.000
island of garbage. I think it's called Manhattan that would

77
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.319
probably play in Los Angeles. Now you're already writing me notes.

78
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.360
I get it in context at the event. Sure, in

79
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.039
context at the event specific choice of Ireland. It is

80
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.039
not the same as my World Series example. Congressman Richie

81
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.759
Torre is Democrat from New York tweeted, pretty good line.

82
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.400
As Puerto Rican I'm tempted to call Hinchcliffe racist garbage,

83
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.520
but doing so would be an insult to garbage. The

84
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.800
Trump campaign has distance itself from the joke. Campaign senior

85
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.240
advisor Daniel Alvarez said that this joke does not reflect

86
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.719
the views of President Trump or the campaign. Tim Walls asked,

87
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.879
who is that? Jack wad comedian ANDREWS Slater. If Tony

88
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.560
Hinchcliffe cost Trump the election, then him becoming rich off

89
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.280
being an awful hack was all worth it. Meanwhile, an

90
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.039
educational nonprofit that had planned a pair of comedy shows

91
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.360
in Puerto Rico for the upcoming weekend clarified on Monday

92
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.279
that Tony Hinchcliff was never scheduled to perform at was

93
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.800
never a scheduled to perform there. Okay, well we did,

94
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.560
wouldn't think so. I don't know why you brought that up.

95
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.399
What's the story here, John? The Gala Venue in San

96
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.360
Juan posted a social media announcement saying they were canceling

97
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.439
an appearance by Tony Hinchcliff. Ports are that that statement

98
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.879
said we announced the cancelation of the Tech My School

99
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.600
event where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe was set to perform due

100
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.319
to disrespectful comments towards Puerto Rico at gala. We value

101
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.560
respect for our culture and community. Puerto Rico deserves respect.

102
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.839
But tech My School, the nonprofit that had planned the

103
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.680
two comedy shows at gala, said Hinchcliffe was never scheduled

104
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.040
to perform. On their page, they said they were featuring

105
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.480
two comedians, Enrique Chicone and Heath Cordes, both of whom

106
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.319
have previously appeared on Kill Tony. Says Tony Hinchcliff has

107
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.839
never been invited nor included in the programming of our

108
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.199
fundraising event. Podcast newsletter podnews happened to share on Monday

109
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.480
that new data from Tubular Lab shows that Kill Tony

110
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.519
is now the number one podcast on YouTube, with nine

111
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.759
hundred and thirty three point five million US minutes watched

112
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.120
across YouTube and Facebook, up twenty one percent month over

113
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.000
month and two hundred and thirty eight percent on the year.

114
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.800
This was prior to the rally on Sunday. Some folks

115
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.079
on social media are sharing this joke George Lopez made

116
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.519
at a tim Walls rally. After the word overnight, Lopez

117
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.480
walks away from the microphone.

118
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.519
Donald Trump said he was gonna build a wall, and

119
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.040
George Lopez said, you better build it in one day,

120
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.279
because if you leave that material out there overnight.

121
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.600
The argument there is that Lopez made fun of his own,

122
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.480
whereas Hingecliff took a shot at others from Yahoo. Eyewitnesses

123
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.399
who are at Jamie Fox's now net Flix taping said

124
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.120
Jamie made some claims about Diddy. Three separate people claimed

125
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.439
that Fox made comments indicating that Diddy was responsible for

126
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.680
his hospitalization in twenty twenty three. According to page six,

127
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.160
Yeahoo writes, though a source tells in Touch that there's

128
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.240
no truth to Diddy putting Jamie in the hospital, or

129
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.079
remains unclear whether the comments were a joke or not.

130
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.120
One of the eyewitnesses said he didn't think Jamie was joking.

131
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.399
Y'all can determine whether he was joking or not when

132
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.439
you see the show, because to me, I'm a new comedian.

133
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.000
I've learned, and I know when somebody setting up a punchline,

134
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.920
and I know when you're serious. After he said, yeah,

135
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.399
Diddy's the one that did something to me, he said,

136
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.920
and I'm the one who called the FEDS on him.

137
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.560
Comedy Hype assed are we saying that Jamie responded and

138
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.120
alerted whatever activity Puff had going on to shut him

139
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.759
down as his get back director Choke No Joke said,

140
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.079
Jamie was scared, right, he disappeared, right, He's out in

141
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.800
public now as soon as Puff went to jail. Well,

142
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.839
that's all kinds of interesting. Meanwhile, on gossip Corner, Pete

143
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.199
Davidson's surface looking healthy and in good spirits. He was

144
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.839
at a Clippers game with his friend mischie Gun Kelly.

145
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.560
Eyewitnesses notice that Pete is now largely tattooed less. The

146
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.160
tattoos that once covered his neck and arms appear dramatically

147
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.079
faded or completely gone, perhaps due to laser tattoo removal.

148
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.279
In May of twenty one, Pete told Seth Myers, it

149
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.279
takes like three hours. You have to get there three

150
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.759
hours early to cover all your tattoos because for some reason,

151
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.560
people in movies they don't have them that much. So

152
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.920
I'm burning them all off. But burning them off is

153
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.879
worse than getting them. Also, tonight the Cool Comedy and

154
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.720
Hot Cuisine fundraiser, This is the one Bob Saget used

155
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.439
to do. Jeff Ross will host the event. Both Jeff

156
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.040
Ross and John Mayer will be honored with the Bob

157
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.879
Saggat Legacy Award, recognizing their commitment to continue Bob Sagget's

158
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.079
sum mission of raising awareness for the Scleroderma Research Foundation.

159
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.160
Also performing Whitney Cummings, Alex Edelman, Chris Hardwick apparently out

160
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.199
of comedy jail, and Jim Jefferies. Ali Wong was on

161
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.480
Hot Ones. Sean Evans was curious, saying, I read the

162
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.040
first place you ever did stand up was at the

163
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.480
Brainwashed Cafe on Fulsom and San Fran. Can you paint

164
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.000
the picture for us? Kelly said, oh, my gosh, this

165
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.160
is a deep cut. The place has been closed since

166
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.240
twenty seventeen. She said it was literally like half cafe,

167
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.879
half laundromat one hundred percent homeless shelter, and the show

168
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.040
had start at five pm and you do three minutes

169
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:16.079
to people doing naughty things to themselves and folding their

170
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.639
laundry and a lot of comics judging you. It was great.

171
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.439
She then talked about the tender loin neighborhood, saying those

172
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.480
loins are not so tender in that neighborhood. Like if

173
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.959
you step outside of our little theater, you will step

174
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.680
in human feces. For sure. It was gross and scary

175
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.399
to enter an exit every single time. And then my god,

176
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.879
the audience, the poor audience, they got trapped. They got

177
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.600
catfish into being there, and they knew it and I

178
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.879
knew it, and I felt bad for them. Hey, did

179
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.240
you know that Saturday Night Live is turning fifty? Did

180
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.679
you hear about this? Well, we are going to talk

181
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.200
about it every single day Today. I will tell you

182
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.720
that Bo and Yang did not want to play JD. Vance.

183
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.679
It was that Lorne Michael's guy, insisting. Yang said, up

184
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.960
until the show, I tapped Louren on the shoulder and

185
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.639
I was in the full beard and I was like,

186
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.879
you can do a buyback if you want. Yang explained

187
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.159
he initially had trouble getting into the character because he

188
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.919
found him to be hollow. Then Bowen watched Hillbilly Elogy

189
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.840
and learned that Advance had questioned his sexuality when he

190
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.879
was younger, but was quickly shot down by Mama. Yang said,

191
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.120
I was like, oh, this guy doesn't have a personality

192
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.679
because he's never had the spine to claim it. Send

193
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.639
your letters to bow and Yang and I will remind

194
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.600
you it's going to be really hard not to be

195
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.799
political these next nine or so days. What do we

196
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.240
down to? No, it's a week now, eight eight days,

197
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.200
I guess. North Star News spoke to Lewis Black, who's

198
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.639
retiring at the end of the year. Any regrets, Lewis said,

199
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:33.519
you'd be nuts if you didn't. But I've had a

200
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.320
really good career, so I can regret all I want.

201
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.759
But people will be going, really, you're gonna cry about that.

202
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.919
Everything just kind of worked out. But I did deal

203
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.200
with some jackasses I shouldn't have. I was never good

204
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.559
at business or show business, and I've worked with some

205
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.320
real a holes. He had good advice for aspiring comics,

206
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.320
actors and writers. Lewis says, just do it and do

207
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.240
it again, and then do it again and do it again.

208
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.159
Get a group of people you like to work with.

209
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:56.519
So if you want to be a comic, at three

210
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.519
or four people who like you, and pick your spot

211
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.919
to do an open mic night we're reading of a play.

212
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.080
But work and work. The shortest distance between two points

213
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.519
is to keep doing it. If that's it. If you're writing,

214
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.559
wake up and write. If you're doing stand up, doesn't matter.

215
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.200
If you've got three people in the world you're still

216
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.240
doing stand up. It doesn't matter if you're five people

217
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.080
in the world, you're still reading a play. You can

218
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.519
do all that together as one thing. What's lewis most

219
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.440
excited for in the future, he says, not having to

220
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.879
do a lot of stuff. Jimmy Fallon, He's been in

221
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:25.840
the news a lot lately. He's getting an hour long

222
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:30.080
holiday music special air in primetime after the annual presentation

223
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.600
of Christmas and Rockefeller Center aka the Tree Lighting aka

224
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.879
thing New Yorkers hate. Do you have any idea what

225
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.559
lighting the tree at five point thirty does to traffic

226
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.720
in New York City? Do you have any idea what

227
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:47.080
it's like to walk anywhere between Times Square and that tree? Come?

228
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:52.759
I don't know. Thanksgiving to about January second Nightmare Well,

229
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:58.240
bah humbug Jimmy Fallon's holiday seasoning spectacular, We'll see Jimmy

230
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.720
Fallon reunited with many of the performers is featured on

231
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:04.799
his new album, including Megan Trainer, Dolly Parton, JB Smooth,

232
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.440
The Jonas Brothers, Timberlake, ll The Roots, and We're Now.

233
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:13.320
December fourth, ten pm. Jordan Klepper specials on Comedy Central

234
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:17.200
tonight at eleven thirty pm, I will be asleep. Also,

235
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.600
the people did the press release screwed up. It says

236
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.679
the special premiere on Comedy Central at eleven thirty pm

237
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.320
Eastern Standard time. We're still on eastern daylight time, folks.

238
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.679
People try a little too hard with that standard thing.

239
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.159
I see people mess that up all the time. Major

240
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.919
pet peeve of mine because I work in broadcasting, and

241
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.080
when you do national programming and satellites and whatnot are involved,

242
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.240
you have to be exact. So if you mean eleven

243
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.879
thirty pm e DT you say that, I digress. The

244
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:47.720
terribly titled The Daily Show presents Colon Jordan Klepper Fingers

245
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.200
the Pulse Colan Rally. Together, we'll see Jordan travel to

246
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.879
Trump events in swing states over the elections crucial closing days.

247
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.360
This time he'll bring along some curious friends at experts

248
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.879
in their fields to help unpack and understand why so

249
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.919
Americans are supporting Donald Trump. Yesterday I recorded with Dez Bishop.

250
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.039
By the way, his new special is Fantastic. It is

251
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.639
called of All People. You will find it on YouTube.

252
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.799
I having in my top specials of the year pretty

253
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.279
high up. I think around number eleven that will be

254
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.440
the Saturday episode. But we did talk about Tony Hinchcliff,

255
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.000
and I thought i'd pull out a rather long clip here,

256
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.759
So here is Dez and I talking about Tony. Has

257
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.960
Tony Hinchcliff made the news in Ireland yet?

258
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.399
Well, it's hard for me to know if he's made

259
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.519
the news in Ireland because I've very much been on

260
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.440
top of that story.

261
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:37.000
So, I mean, I have a lot of thoughts on

262
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.799
all that stuff.

263
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.960
Can I just make a quick disclaimer the reason why

264
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.919
I know that you're not really a video guy, but

265
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.279
I'm outside because fun fact about Ireland.

266
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.320
Ireland does its fireworks.

267
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.399
For Halloween, not for the fourth of July, and it's

268
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.360
leading up to Halloween, so there's a lot of fireworks.

269
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.720
So the dog goes insane. So I've had to go

270
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.679
outside and leave the dog inside, so you may hear

271
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.639
faint barking, but it could be a lot worse. And

272
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.399
trust me, when I'm not recording, it's so much worse

273
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.360
with me and the dog in the house. But anyway,

274
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.559
on the Tony Hinchcliff front, I mean, where do we start?

275
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.200
So I try not to hang myself on this show.

276
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:15.960
You know, people don't come to this thing for politics.

277
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.440
They come for me to speak with comedians. So my

278
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.559
take on it, if I break it down just as

279
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.799
a joke in no context, for example, during the Subway series,

280
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.799
if I go to Los Angeles and I go, hey,

281
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.639
there's a floating pile of garbage on an island, it's

282
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.600
called Manhattan. If I do that during the World Series

283
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.440
in LA that joke might fly, But in the context

284
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.639
in the room it was done, it takes on whole

285
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.759
other connotations and it's really not a good joke.

286
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.320
It's a one out of ten, two out of ten joke, max.

287
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.840
It's dated on top.

288
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.080
Of it, and I'm not like one to come after

289
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:52.080
Tony Hinchcliff.

290
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.039
But in the context of the importance of the week

291
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.879
and a half that we're in leading up to.

292
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.080
An election, like, why you would choose like a.

293
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.399
Dated target like Puerto Ricans, Like because obviously you can,

294
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.679
like you just did, you can insert whatever island you

295
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:09.879
want onto that joke.

296
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:11.759
It's it's pretty basic.

297
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:16.600
At the roast of Tom Brady, if they're roasting like

298
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.919
a Puerto Rican comic that was on the DACE, then

299
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.600
you might go, Okay, you know, there's a lot of

300
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.759
that type of joke at roasts, but like when the

301
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.879
world's cameras are on you and you're a comedian and

302
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.879
it's fine, you've been hired to make some jokes leading

303
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.320
up to it, Like why you would choose that as

304
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.240
your joke? I mean you want to make that point, like, oh,

305
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.759
you can joke about anything, but it's actually kind of

306
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.720
like it's juvenile, it's immature, and it's.

307
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.919
Actually it's really stupid. Like I actually think Trump is

308
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:44.080
kind of stupid, So.

309
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.000
I think that like he would never think broad enough

310
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.840
to go Maybe I shouldn't have a risky comedian on

311
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.000
like this close to an election when certain states votes

312
00:14:55.600 --> 00:15:00.000
might literally hinge on twenty thousand people, Like it didn't

313
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:01.440
Georgia twenty two thousand people.

314
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.200
He may have shifted enough votes to change a state.

315
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.279
That's insane.

316
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.799
And that's your comedy news for today. If you enjoy

317
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.919
the program, tell a friend about it. They might like

318
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.159
