00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.480
Kalaroga Shark Media. No, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.039
Dave Chappelle recently played the Abu Dhabi
Comedy Week. The National News was there

3
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.079
to see the show, which is
good because Chappelle does that whole thing with

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.239
the Yonder pouches. So you never
get any clips from a Chappelle show,

5
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.359
but we still find out what you're
talking about, Dave the National News rights

6
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:31.079
Chappelle entered this year's show with a
hooded falcon on his arm. Dave said,

7
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.880
this bird has never been on stage
before. He said the sport of

8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.439
falconry is an apt metaphor for where
he's at professionally. No longer does Chappelle

9
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.439
want to go on the hunt simply
to sustain himself. Instead, he wants

10
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.759
a career trajectory similar to a falconer, one where he is in total command

11
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.880
that can bow out at a time
of his choosing. That's aggressive there,

12
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.200
Wow, what kind of show is
this? Chappelle joked. Abu Dhabi Comedy

13
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.880
Week stimy that plan with its lucrative
offer to headline the festival after his reportedly

14
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.679
final Netflix special Discloser last year.
That's all in jest, Dave warn the

15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.759
audience I'm telling you right now,
I'm rusty, but oh come good.

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:10.120
Dave made pointed observations about the Israel
Gaza war and talked about that on Saturday.

17
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.239
He used the word genocide and the
US elections and the history of the

18
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.280
African American civil rights movement. He
also made quote obscene ruminations on friends and

19
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:19.719
family. At the end, Dave
said, the fact that you guys are

20
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.159
doing this festival here is one of
the most powerful things that is happening in

21
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.560
this world. I was told before
stepping on this stage, this is the

22
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.719
biggest comedy show that the Middle East
has ever seen. Mark my words,

23
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.879
I'll be back. Celebrity hot dog
enthusiast Patton Oswald. You know sometimes he

24
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.439
goes out for hot dog and he
has to text before he goes because of

25
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.239
the crowds. He surprised how much
of his Parks and Recreation characters Fanboy filibuster

26
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:48.519
scene ended up coming true. Back
in twenty thirteen, Patton played a character

27
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.840
he engages in a filibuster. His
speech slowly devolves into the character pitching an

28
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.719
idea for a marvel In Star Wars
crossover film. Patton told Jimmy Kimmel,

29
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.439
So the scene was supposed to be
that I annous, I'm going to do

30
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.319
this philibuster, And then they cut
to Amy's character Leslie just going oh dear

31
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.040
God, and that would be the
joke. And then the directors and the

32
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.039
writer said, let's not yell cut
and let's just see how long he'll talk.

33
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.520
That's hilarious. His character mentions Thanos
and the Infinity Gauntlet as a way

34
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.280
to link the two cinematic universes together, marvel At and Dunn Guardians of the

35
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.360
Galaxy. When I say time Jem, they cuts to Chris Bratt. That

36
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.080
was way before he did Guardians.
Also, Amy has the funniest line on

37
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.120
the whole thing when she says the
female sports are a little underwritten, which

38
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.520
is so exactly what those movies were. This is awesome, Patton continues.

39
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.319
When the book of Bopa Fett came
on Disney Plus, creator Jon Favreau confirmed

40
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.360
to me, they cut the opening
scene to match my filibuster. You can

41
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.080
sing them up time wise. It
pans down from the twin suns, the

42
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.719
hand comes out of the sand.
You can match it up to my filibuster.

43
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.719
They did that on purpose. In
twenty twenty one, Patton tweeted to

44
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.439
say, I'm touched is putting it
lightly and yeah, book a Boba Fett.

45
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.639
You're welcome. Hazos Trejo has a
new PBS show, Roots of Comedy,

46
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.919
about the lives, families, and
experiences of rising comedians. Treyho was

47
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.879
one of the ten and Comics to
Watch back in twenty seven. Also on

48
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.039
that list Tiffany Hattish and Hassan Minhaj. Let's look at the rest of the

49
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.800
list. I'm curious now and I'm
make sure it's the right list. There

50
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.199
are several lists. I assume it's
the variety one that's usually the big one.

51
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.360
All right that year, Brian Jordan
Alvarez, all Right, Rory Butcher,

52
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.639
verr DAEs Li's a trigger, Pretty
good, right, pretty good.

53
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.080
Treo says, one of the things
I prided myself in is that I talk

54
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.840
about my upbringing, my family,
the things I feel I'm an expert on,

55
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.240
which is my lived experience. He
highlighted the story of Vanessa Gonzalez as

56
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.879
an example. One of the jokes
she talks about is that her parents are

57
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.680
from Mexico and they ended up working
for the Border Patrol the punch line is

58
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.800
like traders, but then we cut
to her family story and we realize it's

59
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.439
complex. That's the reality, that
was the industry that existed in her hometown.

60
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.080
My rich upbringing as a Mexican American
in Long Beach with immigrant parents is

61
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.360
the basis for my storytelling. I
can bring that storytelling and that experience to

62
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:52.639
any project I take on. The
Hollow Reporter profiled Alana Glazer. She talked

63
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.439
about filming her stand up special and
said, the first night I felt a

64
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.879
little tight and nervous, but the
second night was so silly and kinetic,

65
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.919
and I took pleasure in every single
moment. It was a blessed. There's

66
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.919
this feminine energy of the universe that
I've been tapping into more and more.

67
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.319
It feels sort of like receiving whatever's
happening and dealing with both the positive and

68
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.560
the negative. The Hollow Reporter says. Back in twenty nineteen, on the

69
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.599
Lost Cultuestas podcast, she talked about
feeling connected to masculine energy. Alana said,

70
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:16.399
that's so interesting. Wow, it's
funny. It's hard for me to

71
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.199
ever go back and look at stuff
I've done. Rami yusaff just sent me

72
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.920
a screenshot from the pilot of broad
City. Cracked me up to think about

73
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.879
that part of the show and how
it was ten years ago. But I

74
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.160
really couldn't go back to that place
in my mind, like I'll never go

75
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.439
back and listen to myself on Lost
Culturistas. But I find it really interesting

76
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.800
that I spoke about that at the
time. Sees people really like Shane Gillis's

77
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.920
Tires series. I watched one episode
on Friday night, I think it was

78
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.759
I thought about it a lot,
even was dreaming about the show. The

79
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.040
folks in the Facebook group, which
is Daily Comedy News podcast group, please

80
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.399
join us. They're all buzzing about
it. Seems everyone digging that one looking

81
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.720
forward to it, just can't find
a minute to watch TV sometimes. Brendan

82
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.319
Schab says he would beat the bleep
out of Joe Rogan were they to have

83
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.800
an MMA fight, which reminds me, I what months ago challenged Joe Rogan

84
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.920
to an MMA fighting. He has
not taken me up on it. Is

85
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:11.720
it because he's afraid of me?
Probably right? Yes, Shab at one

86
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.639
time was a UFC heavyweight contender,
so yeah, he probably would do very

87
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.639
well against Joe Rogan, who,
by the way, Joe Rogan is going

88
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.959
to lose to me should he take
me up on the challenge? Are you

89
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.519
afraid? Joe? Shab says Rogan's
good though. He has immense lower body

90
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.560
strength and an extensive background in jiu
jitsu. Can Joe kick? Absolutely?

91
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.120
For a guy who's never competed professionally, he can kick like a mother Ever,

92
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.480
I don't know. Leave it.
If you put him against any celebrity

93
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.839
out there, he's going to beat
the bleep out of them. He's a

94
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.160
black belt in jiu jitsu, it's
that civilian aspect. He's a monster.

95
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.040
Why is he afraid of me?
Though? Come on, Joe, let's

96
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.120
go, let's do this. You
gotta realize, though, I was ranked

97
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.920
in the top ten of the world, so it's just different. I would

98
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.319
beat the bleep out of Rogan.
Dextero has compared them. Rogan five two

99
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.199
hundred pounds, Shab six' four
two forty five. Yeah, that's why

100
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.639
I'm not challenging Shob. I'm not
crazy. But Joe Rogan, bring it,

101
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.839
dude, what are you afraid of? You're afraid of something? Apparently,

102
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.199
Hans Kim you may know him from
Kill Tony. I saw Kill Tony

103
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.240
was way up on the podcast charts. Tom Brady says, you're welcome.

104
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:24.279
Distractify was wondering what has happened to
Hans Kim. Hans was a regular on

105
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:29.000
the Kill Tony podcast. Distractify writes
about a year ago, fans started noticing

106
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.800
a drop in Hans Kim's materials quality. As the opinion circulated, Tony began

107
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.319
putting Hans up to battle other comedians
to keep his position as a regular.

108
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.879
He apparently hasn't been on Kill Tony
in a few months. He used to

109
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.759
perform every single week, fans have
noticed on the red Fans have said that

110
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.759
Hans's two hour shows are fantastic,
so perhaps he's grown out of the one

111
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.439
minute Killed Tony format. I got
a fact check that two hour shows.

112
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:58.439
A guy who was doing a minute
is now doing two hours. Jerry Seinfeld,

113
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.399
Chris Rock et cetera. Don't to
two hours two hours of stand up

114
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.000
comedy is a lot. I don't
know about that. One from the Newport

115
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.680
News. A comedy bus wants to
take people around Newport, but one counselor

116
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.240
says it's no laughing matter. Love
this one apparently a comedy tour bus hopes

117
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.319
to come to Newport councilor Jean Marine. Apolitano said, they act like it's

118
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.079
some kind of public veins that people
can get around downtown, and no,

119
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.639
it's for them to make money,
period in a story. And all these

120
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.399
people, you know, you go
out and you have a cookout in your

121
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.360
yard or something, and it can't
enjoy their family are there without a bus

122
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.519
going by and narrating. God knows
what. That's what it's about. Comedy

123
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:40.879
Bus LLLC operates its ninety minute bus
tours around Providence. The usual tours start

124
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.319
a brass Monkey bar and grill and
make one shortstop at a local restaurant or

125
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.199
brewery. Guests can bring alcohol,
although not hard liquor, onto the bus

126
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.079
and simp while listening to a local
comic acting as the tour guide. The

127
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.600
buses that Comedy Bus LLC uses for
its tours or old school buses that have

128
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.199
had the windows removed and replaced with
clear vinyl sighting that can be opened with

129
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.680
the addition of the comedian using a
microphone, and the company's promise of R

130
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.079
rated shows. Napolazano says she was
concerned about how the tour might impact local

131
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.560
residents. That's fair. We don't
need people saying naughty things out the window.

132
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.040
We definitely don't need that. I
mean, are you, Joe Koy?

133
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.079
We're clean? What is wrong with
you people? Napolitano said. Can

134
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.680
you imagine somebody standing around with their
kids and all of a sudden, here

135
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.360
f this or something that doesn't work
for me or anybody else? All right,

136
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.560
what if we do a clean comedy
bus? Are you okay with it?

137
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.319
Then? And that's your comedy news
for today. I feel like I'm

138
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.519
supposed to say something witty now.
I got nothing. See you tomorrow,
