Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.839
daily comedy news. Now. I don't know why you people
3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.320
hate on Adam Sandler. The guy just put one hundred
4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.559
and fifty two million dollars into the New Jersey economy.
5
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.239
That's where I live. Yes, The filming of Happy Gilmore
6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.160
IWO a fine film, you should watch it pumped a
7
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.519
record breaking one hundred and fifty two and a half
8
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.560
million dollars into the New Jersey state economy over sixty
9
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.560
four shooting days. How can you not love Adam Sandler movies.
10
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.560
Happy Gilmour two averaged two point three million dollars in
11
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.920
daily spend, including six point four million dollars on extras
12
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.359
and one point two million dollars on lodging. Some of
13
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.479
the places this was shot golf courses in Bedminster, Bloomfield
14
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.359
and Montclair, private homes in Irvington and Billville. Some of
15
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.320
the backdrops included Newark Liberty International Airport, where I was
16
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.079
just this morning, and Fairleigh Dickinson University where I work.
17
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.000
Adams and Tandler and I work at the same place sometimes.
18
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:13.079
Tim Sullivan is the NJE DACO and said New Jersey
19
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.400
has become a happy place for filmmakers. He credits the
20
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.200
state's competitive tax credits, local talent, base and location diversity.
21
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.359
Can we get some tax benefits for basement podcasters? Is
22
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.640
that a thing? Should I like, stop recording and look
23
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.640
this up? Maybe it is. John Crowley is the executive
24
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.719
director of the state's Film Commission and says, from golf
25
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.519
courses and universities to airports and beaches, New Jersey has
26
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.159
everything a production company desires, and thank you Adam Sandler
27
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.959
and Happy Madison Productions. They're already filming another project here
28
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.719
in New Jersey. It is the teen musical Don't Say
29
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.599
Good Luck? And how could that possibly be terrible? It
30
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.040
is filming in Cranford, Livingston and Ridgewood. Newsweek caught up
31
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.959
with Mark Marin, who's the most popular comedian right now?
32
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.959
Unofficial survey seems. They were curious, you don't hold back
33
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.560
in this special on Trump, Progressives, etc. What made you
34
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.840
not hold back? Maren said, I don't know that I
35
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:04.879
ever have. I also know my audience to a degree,
36
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.840
though I did make choices around the tone of the stuff.
37
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.080
I do comedy three four nights a week, sometimes at
38
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.680
the Comedy Store in LA and I see people up
39
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.560
there not talking about it, and I'm like, what are
40
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.680
we doing? It used to be like, hey, do you
41
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.919
have to talk about politics? As politics? Really that funny.
42
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:18.599
I've always talked about it, but I do think it's
43
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.280
beyond politics now. Used to be you'd be lucky if
44
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.439
you saw the president on TV like four times a year,
45
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.159
and that wasn't that long ago. So now it's like
46
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.000
twenty times a day. So if you're paying attention, you
47
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.000
have to reckon with even just that fact. And I
48
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.400
think this is an arc to the special, and there
49
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.120
has been to my other specials. I feel like over time,
50
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.039
especially the last two specials, there's really almost a three
51
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.960
act structure to it. And I thought, look, let's get
52
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.639
this out now. My people are generally liberal people, but
53
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.599
I take them to a task bit too. I really
54
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:44.439
shifted the tone of the opening thing to be kind
55
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.759
of what's happening opposed to the BS, so I could
56
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.240
bring people in. Obviously I'm not going to bring people
57
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.000
in who are cult like believers, but I was very
58
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.639
conscious of the tone to be like what's going on,
59
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.319
you know, as opposed to UFS. So that was all choice.
60
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.360
But I think to answer your question. It was like, well,
61
00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:59.919
let's deal with this now and then we'll get to
62
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:02.560
the other stuff. News Week asked Mark Maren do you
63
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.120
think comics have responsibility to address the current political situation?
64
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.000
Maren No, absolutely not, and I don't think it's everyone's
65
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.919
cup of tea. Look, comedy's a beautiful form where you
66
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.680
and only you can decide what you want to do
67
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.159
and dictate how you want to do it, and have
68
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.199
complete control and a lot of room to really decide
69
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.800
who you want to be up there. It's a beautiful thing.
70
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.439
So now only a few people can do political humor.
71
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.520
I happen to be a person that is culturally sensitive
72
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.120
and relatively sophisticated in terms of politics in terms of
73
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.560
being able to talk about it. So it's always been
74
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.080
kind of a component. But I think now things are meshing,
75
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:33.840
and I think some things had to be dealt with
76
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.919
in terms of how comics are being used or choosing
77
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.159
to use their comedy as platforms for some sort of
78
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.479
very unsavory stuff. I don't pull any punches on that
79
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.280
stuff because for me, it's always been part of the
80
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.520
cultural fabric. If you go into a cultural commentator, which
81
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.360
I am only half of what it used to be.
82
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.439
Then everybody's fair game, including comics, politicians or whatever. So no,
83
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.000
I don't think it's the comics responsibility to do anything
84
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.520
but be funny. I kind of wish they had asked
85
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.800
Mark Maren, how do you handle a mosquito in your
86
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.599
basement studio? But maybe Mark doesn't have that problem I
87
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.120
do right now. So Mark Marin is the most popular
88
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.919
comedian right now. The least popular comedian right now is,
89
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.680
of course, the worst person who ever lived, Jay Leno.
90
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.800
People are really upset with Jay Leno. All right, who
91
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.000
are you going to pick in this fight? Because Rosie
92
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.959
O'Donnell took a shot at Jay leto. You gotta pick.
93
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.480
Are you on team Jay or team Rosie? You have
94
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.800
to pick. No, you can't say no, I'm not picking. No,
95
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.600
you have to pick. You can be on team Rosie
96
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.560
or you can be on team j. You pick. Rosie
97
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.160
from her home in Ireland, as she has abandoned the
98
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.920
United States, went on Instagram. She was watching that new
99
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.240
Netflix docuseries Fit for TV, The Reality of the Biggest Loser?
100
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.120
Have you seen this yet? Those Little Letterman moved there?
101
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:44.920
Mike chishmem you paid attention. I just did a little
102
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.519
dave there. Yeah, that was for you. In one Instagram post,
103
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.720
Rosie O'Donnell, who lives in Ireland, shared her disappointment with
104
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.680
jay leto the worst person in the world who hosted
105
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.600
The Tonight Show successfully for twenty two years. She's not
106
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.439
happy with his behavior towards the Biggest Loser contestants. She
107
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.439
captured her post, j Leno is a meana dot dot
108
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.800
dot dot dot. I'm going to guess it rhymed with
109
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:12.160
a glass moole hashtag Biggest Loser documentary. Apparently in the documentary,
110
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.959
which I have not watched, one of the contestants recalled
111
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.839
appearing quote on a live taping of The Tonight Show.
112
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.600
Interesting phrasing. There did jay do live for live taping?
113
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.160
So just say taping or episode live taping? Get out
114
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.279
here on a live taping of the Tonight Show where
115
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.279
jay Leno read her death threats aloud. I don't have
116
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.040
any additional details there for you see what else happens
117
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.079
if I google jay Leno. Yep, a lot of Rosie Ah.
118
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.920
The Independent tells us. In the clip, jay Leno read
119
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.040
the death threats. One message threatened to hit the contestant
120
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.319
with a card, to which Jay Leno, comedian hosting the
121
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:46.920
Tonight show, said she wants to kill you, but she
122
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.879
won't use a swear word. The contestant has now said,
123
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.879
I didn't know I was a villain until the show aired.
124
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.399
Rosie said Jay Leno is a mean a hole. Again,
125
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.920
I'm not sure people understand what the show is and
126
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.079
what the job of the ho Don't worry Jay Leno.
127
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.319
By this time next week, you won't be the worst
128
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.560
comedian in the world. That will go to Tony Hinchcliff.
129
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.560
Once kill Tony at Madison Square Garden airs on Netflix
130
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.879
on Monday. The guests Jim Norton, Mark normand Matt Riche.
131
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.720
The comedy establishment will get mad the Tony Hinchcliff's kill
132
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.680
Tony even exists. I'm mad because I actually have to
133
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.480
teach my college class over at Fairley Dickinson. Maybe Adam
134
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.959
Sandler will be there, I hope so. And by the
135
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.399
time I get home after teaching the college students and
136
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.920
lecturing for two and a half hours, I'm exhausted. On
137
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.800
Monday Nights, TMZ has video of a woman getting thrown
138
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.959
out of a Theo von Schow THEO is playing the
139
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.000
Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks. Apparently a fan
140
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.319
got too disruptive. TMZ reports the woman is in a
141
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.319
revealing white top as she goes up the stairs, reveling
142
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.959
and the crouch jeers with her arms raised above her head.
143
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.160
She seems to fake laugh at one of theo's jokes
144
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.319
on the way out. My witnesses told TMZ the woman
145
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.879
appeared to be intoxicated and was repeatedly approached by security,
146
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.959
who asked her to get off her phone. Eyewitnesses said
147
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.279
she was yelling and arguing with security. We're trying to
148
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.120
be discreet. Sources say THEO stop performing twice to ask
149
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.759
what was going on, then politely request did she leave.
150
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.319
Sources say THEO even offered to have his assistant refund
151
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.560
her ticket if she just left, but she didn't leave,
152
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.759
so security helped her leave. Friend of the show, Dan
153
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.319
boobletch Junior shared on Facebook, Hey did you see this?
154
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.120
And I hadn't? What hadn't I seen? Helium Coomedy Records

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.120
listed via the link below. Now what caught my eye
165
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.199
as I looked at the links below. It's assorted by performers.
166
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.319
I'm sure you see Mary Santora and Dustin Nickerson. I
167
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.279
have to make the font bigger. Can't read these tiny letters.
168
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.160
I see Shane Gillis here, who in twenty twenty apparently
169
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:25.120
got sixty six dollars worth of royalties. That's interesting. And
170
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.800
see who else is on this list that you might know.
171
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.319
Sean Patton Ali said, if you'd like to learn more
172
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.159
about royalty, there's all sorts of breakouts as to who
173
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.759
is paying what what is being paid. Even if you
174
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.279
want to see the top title, which was Caleb Sinan's
175
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.679
Being Poor, I'm trying a new mix. Today, I dropped
176
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:45.879
my daughter at the airport and I was listening back
177
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.919
to yesterday's show, and I thought the show sounded a
178
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.120
little basie. Every time I go on a zoom call,
179
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.320
the zoom program resets all the levels on my computer.
180
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.720
So what happens here is I have a session so
181
00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.960
that what you're hearing right now is now labeled Session
182
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.399
DC August twenty twenty five, replacing a similarly named one
183
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.720
with July in the title. And I use the same
184
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.240
session over and over, so the show sounds the same.
185
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.200
But I noticed whatever was going on, the theme music
186
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.639
had gotten a little low. My voice has gotten a
187
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:16.799
little basy. I didn't tweak anything, but I think the
188
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.120
zoom did. So I went back in today and I
189
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.039
boosted the music levels a little bit, added a little
190
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.159
more high end to my voice, so hopefully it sounds better.
191
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.279
I also, when I make the show, I edit on
192
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.320
a program called descript, and sometimes that during thing adds
193
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.919
some processing. Then I run the whole thing through a
194
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.200
program called Aphonic, so that the levels are all over
195
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.799
the place, of the highs and lows are kind of
196
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.080
even out. And by the time you do all that
197
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.840
and you run it through a phone and cart play
198
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.000
and you're driving on a highway. You never really know
199
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.080
what it sounds like until you actually hear it. That's
200
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.320
why when I go get my coffee in the morning,
201
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.519
I listen back to myself just to hear how the
202
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.519
show sounds. But hopefully this one sounds good. I won't
203
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.519
actually know until tomorrow. If you missed yesterday's show, I'm
204
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.200
now doing an eighth show for the paid subscribers. It
205
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.919
is called DCN eight. It is in the Apple podcast feed.

network ad free. This couple episodes, you don't get the
209
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.120
Plant Lady. We didn't have a deal with the Plant Lady.
210
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.440
That's what the deal is there. But everything else commercial
211
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.200

212

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.879
DCNA to where I talk about other stuff. I'm not
214
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.799
bow guarding any comedy. I explained that yesterday, I'll be
215
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.480
You might want to check that out. Over at the Fringe,
216
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:36.360
they have announced the nominees for this year's Festival Best
217
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.720
Comedy Show The nominees are Dan Tiernan's All In at Night,
218
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:44.159
You Old Mucker, Ian Smith's Footspa Half Empty, John Totthill,
219
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.039
This must be Heaven, Katie Norris, Go West, Old Maid,
220
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.639

221
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:55.559
Creepy Boys Slugs. They also shared the best Newcomers Now
222
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.240
the combination of people being newcomers at the Fringe and
223
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.639
listeners to my podcast. I'm gonna guess that then diagram
224
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.600
is pretty small, so I'm not gonna read you fifteen
225
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.639
names that you don't know. If you do listen every day,
226
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:10.360
you understand that the Fringe apparently is the worst place
227
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.080
on the earth. The Guardian's headline today the hell of
228
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.840
staying in Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival. Why does anyone go?
229
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.240
Victoria Richards wrote, God, how I craved a hotel. But
230
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.279
a hotel in Edinburgh in August for two nights was
231
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:27.480
well over one thousand pounds. It wasn't gonna happen. Student
232
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.480
digs might not be so bad, a reasoned, But then
233
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.440
I got there and my god, I'd forgotten the smell,
234
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.759
that unique odor, the pervasive scent of teenage boy of
235
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.360
unwashed socks and unaired rooms, and mold and badly ventilated
236
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.639
showers and block toilets with suspiciously wet floors and basement
237
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.600
flats without windows. And I didn't know you had to
238
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.480
actually clean the carpet. This gets even funnier, and I
239
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.240
haven't pre read this. This is great. I just saw
