00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.880
Callaroga Shark Media, No Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news.
2
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.199
I am psyched for today. As I put it together,
3
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.600
there were different names in the news, which was just
4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:20.600
so refreshing for me. And as I so searched about that,
5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.320
I started thinking about Bill Burr and how has Bill
6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:26.679
Burr gotten us to a place where it's like, you know, Bill,
7
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.440
you need to disappear for three months now. You've heard
8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.039
me say this in the past about like gaffing and
9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.280
needed to tap the brakes, and he has. Jim took
10
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.640
my advice right. We haven't heard from Jim in a bit,
11
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.119
but Bill needs to go away for a little bit now.
12
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.280
It's just so weird. I'll talk about Conan tomorrow as
13
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.399
I don't have the information as I record this in
14
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.960
the middle of Sunday afternoon, and often I don't record
15
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.560
on Sundays, so it's nice and the news cycles a
16
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.039
little different. I'll start with The Times of London, the
17
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.799
Sunday version of The Times, and they had a profile
18
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.119
with Jimmy Carr, who explained how to get a laugh.
19
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.200
I think Jimmy might actually be my favorite living comedian.
20
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.600
I try to see him whenever I can I always
21
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.480
find his shows excellent anyway, Jimmy says, to get a laugh,
22
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.319
you do the opposite of what is expected. So someone
23
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.879
who doesn't do physical comedy doing a pratfall is funny.
24
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.400
It's the thing about jokes being the sudden revelation of
25
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.480
a previously concealed fact. Every joke has two stories, and
26
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.760
the first story sets up an assumption that turns out
27
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.439
to be erroneous. It's the same structure whether you're doing
28
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.799
clever wordplay or falling over that's really smart, obviously. Jimmy,
29
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.079
a top top comedian the Times, was curious why music
30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.760
vidues are struggling and stand up seems to be thriving.
31
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.519
Carr said, because comedy clubs deliver week in week out.
32
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.400
What do you want from a night out? A couple drinks,
33
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:39.640
something to eat in a great laugh. But I think
34
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.200
about comedy as a function in society is that it
35
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.480
opens up the window of what you can and can't
36
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.599
talk about, not just edgy topics. Even if you do
37
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.760
mainstream observational stuff, the audience go, oh, we can complain
38
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.760
about life a little bit. It gives you permission to
39
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.159
have conversations you wouldn't otherwise. It's like you put on
40
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.799
magical glasses and see everything in a slightly funnier way.
41
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.000
It was an interview with a comedian, so of course
42
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.640
you know you can't say anything anymore. The Times phrase
43
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.439
that is are there things people used to find funny
44
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.799
they don't anymore? Car said, I think there's a broader
45
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.280
church now than ever before. Britain's Got Talent last year
46
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.280
was won by a clown act. There's mine too. Comedy
47
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.479
feels much more open. It's weird. While ITV and the
48
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.159
BBC were fighting over a Saturday night ratings, YouTube just
49
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.639
stole their lunch and streamers are stepping up to Netflix
50
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.439
has done a tremendous amount for stand up though. I
51
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.759
did realize the other day that Jeffrey Dahmer has more
52
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.000
Netflix specials than I have. It's an interview with a comedian,
53
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.840
so we'll talk about getting canceled. Jimmy explains, intention is
54
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.639
important with me. It's clear what the intention of the
55
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.680
evening is. But the way you can get reported is
56
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.240
if you're shouting jokes through someone's letterbox at nine am.
57
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.400
I subscribe to the benign violation theory that jokes are
58
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.240
benign violations. You take a violation to matter how extreme,
59
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.960
but make it benign by joking about it. Jokes can
60
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.599
be a way of making sense of stuff. Think about
61
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.840
how we use humor in our lives when something terrible happens,
62
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.319
never mind on stage. There's a lot of laughter around grief, death,
63
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.840
and disease. There's a real functionality to it. It makes
64
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.520
something okay. It's slightly playing with fire, but you don't
65
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.879
choose your sense of humor. It choos you. It's like
66
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.840
sexual taste. Some like it's spicy. Others prefer milder stuff.
67
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.879
But you don't fake a laugh. And Jimmy talked about clapter,
68
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.680
quoting him exactly. I have this thing I call clapter
69
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.639
where an audience are just applauding clapper, not laughter. I
70
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.919
watch out for that because that's just people agreeing with you.
71
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.000
Too easy. It's too easy to say Trump's a dummy.
72
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.400
There's nothing in that. But also, I don't want it
73
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.159
just to be a shock and inhalation of breath and
74
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.879
a nervous laugh. It's got to be a belly laugh
75
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.639
followed by an intake of breath. It has to be
76
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.319
the right way around, because shock is nothing. It's got
77
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.719
to be funny first and foremost good stuff there. Chris
78
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.439
Gethard had a note for John mullaney again, I haven't
79
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.879
seen episode two of M'LANEI yet, but I'm seeing mixed
80
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.319
buzz at best. Some people are like, Okay, it's quirky,
81
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.120
but I'm not seeing anyone saying it's great, which is
82
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.840
a shame. Some people are comparing m'laniy show to what
83
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.560
Chris getherd it used to do on his show, and
84
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.960
Chris tweeted, I really love Everybody's Live, and I'm probably
85
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.039
more fascinated at its existence than anyone on earth, and
86
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.639
I wanted to succeed on a massive scales. So please, guys,
87
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.479
let's get John an in ear monitor for the phone calls,
88
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.199
and just let me know if I can help in
89
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.599
any other way. As somebody who has produced a lot
90
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.680
of talk radio over the years, I can tell you
91
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.159
and I screen calls better than anybody in the game.
92
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.560
I challenge all of you. I will screen calls better
93
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.480
than you. I'm really, really, really good at it, and
94
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.040
i will tell you after the first sentence out of
95
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.800
the caller's mouth, it's diminishing returns and you have to
96
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.519
prep the caller and go Okay, surely when you get on,
97
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.439
make sure you tell host you know, hey, I just
98
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.439
wanted to say that I think blue umbrellas are stupid.
99
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.439
Just get right to your point and then from there
100
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.079
it's diminishing returns and John is putting civilians on the
101
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.480
air live and that's why it's a mess. So I'll
102
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.800
give the same note from I did from the LA series.
103
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.199
Stop doing the segment. It doesn't work. That said, I
104
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.959
don't think Millenni cares that. He just wants to do
105
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.720
this quirky, weird show and Netflix is paying for it whatever.
106
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.720
Steve Byrne talked to Fox News Digital thanks to dr
107
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.160
who shared this on the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
108
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.480
Podcast Group. I had just put together the show and
109
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.480
then popped on Facebook really quickly because I wanted to
110
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.120
tell you guys. This week I'm speaking to Jason Zinnemann
111
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.519
from the New York Times. He's going to be one
112
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.680
of my guests about Hebburg. But I want to ask
113
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.040
you guys anything you want me to ask Jason while
114
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.879
I have him, So if there is something, throw it
115
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.759
in the Facebook group. You'll see the post there. And
116
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:19.680
I just put together the show with the Steve Burn thing,
117
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.759
and I saw dr had shared the interview, so we're
118
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.120
thinking of each other. Thank you for sharing it. Steve
119
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.519
Burn told Fox News Digital Hollywood today it could do
120
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.959
a better job allowing comedians to be funny. I fear
121
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.639
that my kids are growing up in a generation that
122
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.439
isn't going to have those kind of like communal jokes
123
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.040
or communal scenes, or all these cultural references that we
124
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.000
all grew up with. One hundred percent on that, and
125
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.480
I think that's just gone. Burn said, Hollywood's not making comedies,
126
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.759
They're not taking chances. Comedians were never selling out arenas
127
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.800
to degree we have multiple comedians out there that are
128
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.399
now arena acts. That's because Hollywood has failed in terms
129
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.839
of filling the void with comedies, and so people are
130
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.399
getting their fixed in arenas. That's interesting, right, because you'd
131
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.079
like to go out for a night and back in
132
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.240
the day, you'd be like, oh, well, Bill Murray movie,
133
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.240
thanks for the fifty year old reference there, John, you
134
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.600
know what I mean. But we don't do that anymore.
135
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:06.879
And I guess it gets back to what Carr was
136
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.480
saying earlier. You know, it's nice to have a night out.
137
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.120
I went out with the boys on Saturday afternoon to
138
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.279
watch them college basketball. I had just spent a week
139
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.279
in Doublin of the bars every night, and I want
140
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.839
to see my friends. And we sat there and we
141
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.920
had a beverage or two and some food and stared
142
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.160
at sports and it's nice. It's nice to go out,
143
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.279
you know what I'm saying. Yes, Burn said, I think
144
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.439
if Hollywood was smart, they let some of these guys
145
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.319
go for it and not be too restrictive in terms
146
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.920
of like, obviously, what Bill Burr has done, what Shane
147
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.560
Gillis has done, those are blueprints. Obviously there's a desire
148
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.480
for someone to let them take that into a narrative
149
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.360
form make films. Burn finds the entertainment industry progressive and
150
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.680
left as a whole. I think that's why people are
151
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.879
leaving traditional outlets to go to your mom's house or
152
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.120
Rogan's podcast, because they're getting their fixed from these other
153
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.920
mainstream elements that you know, pretty much only primarily support
154
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.160
people that agree with them and play in their same sandbox.
155
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.199
I think you gain stand up is the greatest job
156
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:56.920
of the world. The fact that you could take something
157
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.720
relatable or something you just pull out of the ether,
158
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.600
and you bring it to a roomful of strangers and
159
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.040
elicit just a single emotion, which is laughter. This is
160
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.959
nothing better than that. Steve burns favorite comedian, Brian Callen
161
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.560
makes me laugh like nobody else. He's so smart, so gifted,
162
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.079
so talted, and he just genuinely makes me laugh. Joe
163
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.920
Gatto released a statement after a woman accused him of
164
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.079
sexual assault in a TikTok. Joe said he had quote
165
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.360
used poor judgment unquote in the past, but quote wouldn't
166
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.319
assault anyone unquote. The TikTok users said she had met
167
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.160
Gaddo in twenty twenty three, when she was nineteen. Her
168
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.879
claim is that she began texting him after approaching in
169
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:35.839
a restaurant in hopes of getting a free ticket to
170
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.240
the show. She ledges Gaddo gave her a pair of tickets,
171
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.040
and they continued to text. She claims they eventually wound
172
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.360
up in a hotel room and some stuff happened. She
173
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.120
didn't go into detail what occurred. I'm not pulling my
174
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.399
punch there. She didn't share it. In one of her
175
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.480
subsequent posts that day, she wrote, I got sexually assaulted
176
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.720
by Joe Gatto. The Impractical Joker. Gaddo issued a statement
177
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.240
on Saturday which reads, iveeu'sed judgment and as a result,
178
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.319
have violated the trust of the people I love most.
179
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.600
But anyone who knows me at all knows full well
180
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.079
that I wouldn't assault anyone. Working on myself is an
181
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.000
ongoing process, and I'm now going to take some time
182
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.120
away from the public eye to focus my energies where
183
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.000
I need to. Joe had left The Jokers in twenty
184
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.439
twenty one. At that time, he cited issues in my
185
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.639
personal life and announced that he and his wife had
186
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.120
been splitting up. In an Instagram post, he wrote, sorry
187
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:24.879
in advance for the long and more serious than usual
188
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.879
note below, I just wanted to let you all know
189
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.600
I'll no longer be involved with Impractical Jokers. Alongside my friends.
190
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.320
I've devoted a decade in my life to building the
191
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.120
franchise and couldn't be prouder of what has been accomplished. However,
192
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:36.759
due to some issues in my personal life, I have
193
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.120
to step away. Bessie and I have decided to amicalle
194
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.080
port Ways said how I need to focus on being
195
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.080
the best father and co parent two or two incredible kids.
196
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:49.720
Rob Schneider has suggested that Kate McKinnon's presidential election called open.
197
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:53.240
The one where she's sang Hallelujah as Hillary Clinton was
198
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.080
the end of Saturday Night Live. Schneider told Glenn Beck,
199
00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.279
I hate to crap on my own show when Hillary
200
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.960
Clinton lost, which is understandable. She's not exactly the most
201
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.600
likable person in the room. And then when Kate McKinnon
202
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.440
went out there on SNL and the cold opening and
203
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.639
all that and started dressing as Hillary Clinton, she starts
204
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.559
playing Hallelujah. I literally prayed, please have a joke at
205
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.600
the end, don't do this, Please don't go down there.
206
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:15.240
There was no joke at the end, and I went,
207
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.919
it's over, It's not going to come back. He then
208
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.919
talked about the late night hosts, specifically Kimmel and Colbert.
209
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.360
You could take the comedic indoctrination process happening with each
210
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.000
of the late night hosts and you could exchange them
211
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.399
with each other. That's saying, you know, it's not interesting anymore.
212
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.759
Andrew Schultz sold Dak Shephard the secret to Trump's success
213
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.879
is that Trump doesn't sound rich. Schultz said, that's what
214
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.159
people don't like. Technowledge. Trump doesn't sound rich. When he talks,
215
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.840
he sounds poor. Schultz continued and said the face of
216
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.240
the Democratic Party should not be like a fourth generation
217
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.240
trust fund neppo baby who's never had a real job,
218
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.960
like telling working class Americans what they should do. Trump
219
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.200
talks like he's from the neighborhood. Schultz talked about a
220
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.240
press conference where Trump was asked and what happens if
221
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.879
Russia doesn't do the ceasefire? What will happen? And then
222
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.639
he goes, what if someone drops a bomb and it
223
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.039
blows on your head. That's how Frank from the neighborhood
224
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.879
would answer a question. So he communicates in a way
225
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.399
that is super relatable to these people, despite his life
226
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.000
not being at all relatable. Jeff Dunham told Fox Trump's
227
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.919
win is a weight off comics back so they can
228
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.960
get back to joking around. He says, you feel like
229
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.519
you can now joke about the things we used to
230
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.679
joke about. Dunham calls comedy one of the last forms
231
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.399
of free speech, and the fact in the past few
232
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:24.120
years that was trumped on tromped. That's not a word
233
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.080
that I'm familiar with. I'm getting what it means from
234
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:31.000
the context. Clues it's an interesting word to use, especially
235
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.200
when we're talking about Trump. Let's see. Oxford says, Trump
236
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.679
is an informal North American word that means trudge or
237
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.519
stamp on, an example being Larry took a step forward
238
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.320
and trumped on his wrist. I feel like I'm going
239
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.000
to hear from people from other parts of the country
240
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.960
who were like, don't you know what trump is? We
241
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.639
didn't use trump in Queens anyway, Dunham says, to me,
242
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.080
a comedian takes it to the line. He knows his audience,
243
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:55.960
his or her audience. You'd take it to the line
