Is Billy Joel overrated? Jerry Seinfeld says no. PLUS Jon Stewart controversy, Larry David controversy

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.839
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny
Mack with your daily comedy news is going

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.199
to go a little slower today.
Catch my breath. I've got a lot

3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.719
to catch up on most of the
weekend and Monday I had pre taped to

4
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.160
accommodate some travel. So this is
just a bunch of stories that I didn't

5
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.320
get a chance to comment on.
Let's start with comedy specials. I watched

6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.239
Tag Nataro's special It will make the
end of the year list down in that

7
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.640
bottom pack with Taylor Tomlinson and Brian
Simpson. It'll be there. It's a

8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:40.520
good special. I laughed again.
I'm a psychopath who has Emperor of Rome

9
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.560
syndrome. If you're a new listener, i'll explain that. So I ran

10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.039
serious XIM comedy for ten years and
as doing that, I would sit at

11
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.799
a desk every day listening to comedy
ten twelve hours a day. And since

12
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.880
these were comedy albums, this was
everybody's best version of their best material.

13
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.200
And I've become a comedy snob and
it's sort of fried my brain where often

14
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.960
I'll watch comedian and I'll be like, oh that was really good, Oh

15
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.879
great callback And if you hang out
with actual comedians in the back of the

16
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.920
room. They do the same thing. So when I actually laugh, I

17
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.480
appreciate it, and take made me
actually laugh. One thing that threw me

18
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.000
off on the special is I've got
an ear for edits and I don't know,

19
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.079
but it wouldn't shock me if possibly, perhaps maybe somebody added some crowd

20
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.920
noise to that one. It sounded
a little bit off to me, and

21
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.239
that throws me. And she didn't
need to do that because of the special

22
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.400
was funny. So if somebody did
sweeten the special, don't do that.

23
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.959
At one point she does sit down
at a piano and from there I think

24
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.239
it's diminishing returns. I'm not sure. I couldn't make it out of the

25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.680
piano section. I was just like, this thing just ground to a halt.

26
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.280
Not sure on the decision there,
but tak the tar special is pretty

27
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.840
good. Then I switched over to
Steve Travino and it's fine. I belled

28
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.200
on it, not because it wasn't
good. He's a nice company. It

29
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.239
just he's got nothing to say.
It reminded me of your friend who had

30
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.079
three beers and going, hey,
you know why Timmy's playing right field?

31
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.760
Right because he sucks. Like it's
basically that and basic marital humor. Again,

32
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.239
fine, if you went to a
club and Steve Trevino got up and

33
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.000
did that, material'd be like,
oh, that guy was good, but

34
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.560
like it's not next level, so
that won't make the list, but I

35
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.919
don't hate it. Saturday Night Live
with Rami Usef had some really good moments

36
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.360
before I forget to mention it.
Jostin, Sarah Sherman, their chemistry is

37
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.919
just amazing. They did a thing
where Sarah was Flock of the Owl's widow

38
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.520
that was really solid. Sarah just
knocks it out of the park and Rami

39
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.840
Yusef just so charismatic as monologue was
good. We'll talk about that in a

40
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:30.919
bit. And I put the Steve
Martin documentary on. It seems fine.

41
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.199
I got like fifteen twenty minutes into
it. I was kind of comedied out,

42
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.360
and I'm really into Netflix's Three Body
Problem, and you know, I've

43
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.639
busy life. I don't get to
watch all that much TV, and I'm

44
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.759
like, I kind of want to
get back to that. So Steve Martin

45
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.439
and I will finish up on that. But again, seems perfectly fine.

46
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.479
I have nothing bad to say about
it. I was enjoying it. It's

47
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.560
just I get TV. Add a
couple jokes from Late Night Jimmy Fallon.

48
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.560
The CDC reports that sexually transmitted diseases
are becoming more common among older adults.

49
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.759
It's even worse the next morning when
you've got to do the Walk of shame.

50
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.319
That's jokes, a bit hacked,
but it's funny. Courting a new

51
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.639
survey, thirty five percent of men
said it's important for them to smell good

52
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.000
during their first sexual experience with a
new partner, while the other sixty five

53
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.560
percent were given a fake phone number. Jerry Seinfeld was on with Fallon pushing

54
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.439
this new pop tarts movie that's coming
out, and I think at about a

55
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.439
month quoting Jimmy Fallon talking to Seinfeld
here, Phelan said, you say,

56
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.680
Jimmy, I did the movie and
Frost. They came out great. It's

57
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.080
locked, but I think there's still
a room to get Jimmy Fallon in this

58
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.639
movie. And then Foun explained Seinfeld
throw a curveball and him going, I

59
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.120
don't want you to act, I
want you to sing a song. Seinfeld

60
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.080
said, Mark Ronson wrote the music. I wrote the lyrics. Fallon read

61
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.960
those lyrics, which are please give
me that sweet morning heat. Every single

62
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.319
day of the week. You've got
all the leff and I need give me

63
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.599
that sweet morning heat. Then they
played some of the song. Hugh Grant

64
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.960
shared some of his experiences with Jerry
on the set of Pop Tarts. Grant

65
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.400
said, he's definitely great in a
Tony the Tuger kind of way. Jerry

66
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:53.759
brings different things to the table.
He's a brilliant comic. He'd written a

67
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.560
great script. He and his team
are able to massage the scene and the

68
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.360
whole time and come up with new
jokes left right, and say. He

69
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.479
was lovely and very supportive of me. Grant explains his character was a very

70
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.520
grand theater thespian who thought all this
was very beneath him. So that's really

71
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.360
the joke of the whole thing.
I do appear once or twice as Tony

72
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.520
the Seger, but otherwise I'm this
tortured theater actor. Seinfeld told Jimmy Fallon

73
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.040
Grant was a major headache. We
had lots of fights. He's paying the

74
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.480
ass to work with. He's horrible. He tells you before you work with

75
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.319
him, you gotta hate this and
he's so right. We shout for tad

76
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.920
Wakes. That night he and I
had dinner and we got drunk havin dinner.

77
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.839
That was the greatest night because he's
so cool and he's that English thing,

78
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.480
you know, that witty. He
looks good at Jackie. He's one

79
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.399
of those guys. I love those
guys. Unfrosted Netflix May third, Jerry's

80
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.759
been out and about a lot.
Last Thursday, he was at Billy Joel's

81
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.839
one hundredth concert at the MSG Residency. Can we talk about Billy Joel for

82
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.279
a second, you know, so
I'm a fifty one of my fifty four

83
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.199
boy, I'm so old I can't
remember wholem I'm fifty four. So you

84
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.720
know, I like the seventies eighties
of rock music, and it boggles my

85
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.000
mind that for there was a point
where Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen were neck

86
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.959
and neck, I mean, the
cat matched, and then Billy just stopped.

87
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.800
And over time, as I pay
more and more attention to Billy's music,

88
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.519
I'm like, you know, these
are all gimmick songs, like his

89
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.920
very few straightforward songs. They all
have some sort of gimmick. And we

90
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.000
didn't start the fire is terrible,
but I digress. Billy Joel was there

91
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.399
playing the Garden. Apparently a lot
of people like this Billy Joel Fellow more

92
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.120
than I do, because he sold
out the Garden one hundred times and I'm

93
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.920
sitting here in the basement recording a
podcast. Seinfeld called Billy Joel's MSG residency

94
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.920
a beautiful medallion on this career that
he's had. There's three things that make

95
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.360
Billy a genius of music. The
voice, the music, and they're writing

96
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.879
of the most beautiful songs. There's
another thing about Billy that makes them so

97
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.959
unique and so special that there's no
such thing as so unique, Jerry.

98
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.160
It's unique or not unique. There's
no modifier unique. It's pet Pete mine.

99
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.600
But the other thing about Billy that
makes them so unique and so special

100
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.920
is that we captured hat we all
feel living in this particular part of the

101
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.519
world, Long Island and New York. He's like the companion that we've gone

102
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.079
through our whole lives with. His
music is our best friend for our whole

103
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.360
life. I don't even think he
can understand and how much his music means

104
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.519
to us from where we are,
and I feel like going through Billy Joel's

105
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.519
discography. If you don't want to
hear this hit, skip for one minute,

106
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.199
indulge me. Spotify has made a
playlist called This is Billy Joel The

107
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.360
Essential Tracks. Uptown Girl, It's
fun, but it's a gimmick song.

108
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.079
Vienna Solid Piano Man. A great
song, but it's a gimmick. We

109
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.920
didn't start the fire is terrible and
a gimmick. It's still rock and roll.

110
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.199
To me is a gimmick song.
She's always a woman, a solid

111
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.519
my life is solid, great song, turn the lights back on? What

112
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.319
is that? Is that the new
one? Yeah, that's the new one.

113
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.399
The River of Dreams. Nobody cares
about just the way you are solid,

114
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.079
solid song, So I take it
back. There was that little period

115
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.560
there where Billy Joel was just doing
great songs. The Longest Time is a

116
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.879
gimmick song, because the entire Innocent
Man album is a gimmick album. You

117
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.879
may be right a solid only as
good Die Young great in New York state

118
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.519
of mind, Little gimmicky tell her
about it. It's a gimmick. Don't

119
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.519
ask me why is perfect? Moving
out is great, She's got away all

120
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.959
right. Allentown is a gimmick.
Big shot is great, pressure is great,

121
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.920
and make it all back. But
I'm leaving it in. But you

122
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.920
see what I'm saying, there's a
lot of gimmick songs in there. Maybe

123
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.920
I just need to make a playlist. You know, I'm gonna do that

124
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.920
later today. I'm making myself a
playlist of non Gimmickee Billy Joel straightforward rockers.

125
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.439
All right, I have totally digressed. Larry David in the news Apple

126
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.199
TV is bringing back Fragle Rock,
and the Hollywood Reporter caught up with the

127
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.879
puppeteers of Fraggle Rock and they are
not happy with Larry David. Remember Larry

128
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.959
David attacked Elmo. One of the
puppeteers said, you know, there's a

129
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.879
person's hand inside of there. That
wasn't a planned thing. So the puppeteer

130
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:31.959
in me was like, oh my
god, that's super dangerous, Like you

131
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.480
just grabbed somebody's hand and twisted it. People forget all the time there's somebody

132
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.439
inside of these characters when you don't
see us, and so it's a risk

133
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:44.920
we take. Yes, puppeteering is
extremely dangerous. Larry David also upsets some

134
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.879
people on the political front. He
was on CNN and accused Trump of throwing

135
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.240
two hundred and fifty years of democracy
out the window. Quote Unglarry, I

136
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.519
mean, you can't go a day
without thinking about what he's done in this

137
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.600
country because he's such a little baby. He's throwing two hundred and fifty years

138
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.959
of democracy out the window by not
accepting the results of an e life.

139
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.079
I mean, it's so crazy.
He's such a sociopath. He's so insane.

140
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.920
He couldn't admit to losing. And
we know he lost. He knows

141
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.720
he's lost. And look how he's
fooled everybody. He's convinced all these people

142
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.079
that he didn't lose. He's such
a sick man. He's so sick.

143
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.920
Larry calmed down and said, anyway, no, it hasn't impacted me at

144
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.560
all. John Stewart was in the
news. The headline of the New York

145
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.240
Post John Stewart benefited by eight hundred
and twenty nine percent overvalue of his NYC

146
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:28.360
home, even as he labels trump
civil case not victimless. Late Nighter explained

147
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.360
that John Stewart last Monday, eight
days ago, took defenders of Donald Trump

148
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.480
to task by arguing that when Trump
inflated the value of his real estate assets

149
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.080
to get better terms on loans and
insurance, it was a victimless crime.

150
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.559
Stuart said that money isn't infinite,
and when one person gets a loan because

151
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.720
they lied, it means there's less
money available for loan seekers who give an

152
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.559
honest valuation of their assets, hence
not a victimless crime. The post suggested

153
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.279
that Stuart himself paid real estate taxes
on his home based on the city's valuation

154
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.240
of his property, but then sold
it for significantly more, making him John

155
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.039
Stewart a hypocrite. John Stewart reacted, tweeting, OMG, I've been caught

156
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.039
doing something not remotely similar to Trump. But I guess all I need to

157
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.360
do now is start a fraud college, steal classified docs, bankrupt casinos,

158
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.480
pay hush money grab. I'm not
gonna read that word. You know,

159
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.279
grab things that you grab, Actually
you don't grab. You don't do that,

160
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.639
the kind of thing that people stand
outside buses and talk about grabbing.

161
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.279
You don't do that. Pay hush
money thing I just mentioned. Discriminate in

162
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:33.320
housing, cheetah golf, and ferment
insurrection, and you'll revere me. Twitter

user cat turt wrote, un funny
hypocrite thief says what Neil Brennan Specials coming

164
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.879
out On April ninth, he told
people this one had been kind of developing

165
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.519
while I was doing Blocks. Blocks
are so emo and so self caring and

166
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:46.879
sort of navel gazing, and like
most people, I'm kind of split.

167
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.840
I'm like, I don't know.
Maybe it's effective, it might feel good,

168
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.600
but I don't know if this is
the best course. I was just

169
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.759
getting sick of feeling sorry for myself
and everyone on earth kind of feeling sorry

170
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.759
for themselves. But there's an upside's
bad mental health. In fact, there's

171
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.320
a massive upside to it. That's
sort of where I was coming from.

172
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.480
Despite what you want to call it
poor mental health or in perfect mental health.

173
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.039
I kind of got through it,
and I ended up with a bunch

174
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.080
of material that was sort of expressing
that. And then also the idea of

175
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.320
this other sort of wind that was
blowing culturally was this idea that comedians or

176
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.919
the moral backstop for the rest of
society, which was like, where'd you

177
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.320
guys get that? So Neil Crazy
Good April ninth, there's a trailer.

178
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.480
The trailer is quite stylized, fast
edits, out of time, edits.

179
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.960
In the middle of a joke,
they'll show Neil reacting to something. So

180
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.759
I'm going to share a little bit
of the trailer, but as edited as

181
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.720
the original trailer is, I've edited
even more. Here's a quick clip.

182
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.519
The Sun is basically the cops for
white people follow us around everywhere we go,

183
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.600
heel and our cousins for no reason. And then when I tell my

184
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.080
black friends that the sun killed my
cousin, are like, well, what

185
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:52.120
was he wearing today? Dmitri Martin
Dmitri deconstructed Netflix. Dmitri is already going

186
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.720
to tape his Neck special April thirteenth
at the Paramount Theater in Denver. Kyle

187
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.879
Kanaane's Dirt Nap is out on YouTube
but today so Johnny Max got a big

188
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.240
night plan in front of the television. Isaac went on Apple Podcasts and left

189
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.399
a review. It says, thanks
for putting less ads. I love this

190
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.720
podcast. Thank you, Isaac.
Isaac says I changed my one star back

191
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.200
to five because of less Ads.
I love this podcast and listen every day.

192
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.919
Thanks for keeping me in the loop
about the latest comedy specials. Thank

193
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:26.200
you for listening so the ad load
should be one pre roll, three in

194
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.639
the mid and two in the post. I'm quite open this is a money

195
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.360
making enterprise. I'm trying to make
a living off this. I like sitting

196
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.240
in the basement and talking to you. I dabbled with commercial free subscriptions for

197
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.440
a while and it just it wasn't
even that it wasn't worth the money.

198
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.559
It wasn't worth the effort. You
have to like double load things and the

199
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.159
back end stuff. I won't bore
you with, it just takes forever to

200
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.120
do, and I was like,
it's just not worth my time to do

201
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.879
it. So I find a better
way is to ask you guys to go

202
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.480
to buy me a coffee. Dot
com slash Daily Comedy News the support the

203
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.679
show that way. Erin to that
Aaron bought me two coffees Dolls, thank

204
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.799
you very much, Erin and Isaac, thanks for switching the review back.

205
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.720
I did have two pre rolls at
the beginning, and now I only have

206
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.960
one, so maybe that is what
you're hearing. And this week there's obviously

207
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.679
a live read, so that makes
the show just a little bit longer.

208
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.000
But also the podcast itself, I've
been hitting more like twenty minutes lately,

209
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.279
so I guess the same spot load. You notice when it's a nine minute

210
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.240
podcast versus twenty two minute podcast like
today is long. So the ads came

211
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.919
a lot later in the mix.
I don't know I'm here to make money.

212
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.919
I'm just being honest. I put
out a new substack at mcdeepod dot

213
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.960
substack dot com. The substack is
free. If that asks you for money,

214
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.440
just pick the free option that one. I'm not trying to make money

215
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.320
off that. I just like sharing
my thoughts. I wrote about April Fool's

216
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.360
jokes in radio, so check that
out. Mcdeepod dot substack dot com.

217
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.120
A link in the show notes Joe
Coy he spoke to the Seattle Times and

218
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.120
said the theme of his current tours
where he's at now in his life.

219
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.159
Joe said, I'm older now,
so we were talking about that life is

220
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.159
changing now. All the hair is
gray, so I got to keep it

221
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:00.799
shaved down really close to my head. I'm gonna have your place so stressful.

222
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.279
My son is an adult now and
he's thinking about his life. And

223
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.879
that's the best part about being a
dead seeing your offspring grow into an adult.

224
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.799
I think those are wise words my
children are a little older now,

225
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.360
and I'm like, yeah, there, we are nice adults. I like

226
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.720
my children. Thanks Johnny Mack.
We're glad you like your children. I

227
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.720
know, right. Joe Coy,
you may remember he hosted that I Love

228
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:24.720
this bit. He hosted the Golden
Globes and he made just the meanest joke

229
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.240
about Taylor Shit. It's so horrible. I almost don't want to play it

230
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.720
for you, but just in context, I think you need to hear the

231
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.600
mean thing Joe Coy said about Taylor
Swift. As you know, we came

232
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.120
on after a football double header.
The big difference between the Golden Globes and

233
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:43.879
the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor

234
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.360
Swift. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Rommy Yousef crushed it on SNL at

235
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.039
least the monologue part. This part
in particular, got a lot of media

236
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.240
pick up a little long. But
let me play it for you. I'm

237
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.679
one of the only guys who praise
I'm friends with a lot of sinners,

238
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.600
but just discuss sing people and they
call me when they're in trouble because they

239
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.120
want me to pray for them.
Right, So, I get a call

240
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.399
from my buddy Brian. He's stressed. He's been in court for ten months

241
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.440
with his ex and they're fighting over
the dog. And he goes RAMI,

242
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.000
Dude, she doesn't take care of
the dog. She feeds him kibble,

243
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.279
she doesn't even feed him wet food. And I need him back. It's

244
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.159
just destroying my life. Please,
man, pray for me. I need

245
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:28.639
him. And I'm like, dude, all right, I got you,

246
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.519
I got you. And no how
it goes by, I get a friend,

247
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.679
my friend Ahmad, calling me.
His whole family's in Gaza, and

248
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.039
he goes ROMI, they're suffering.
I don't know where half of them are.

249
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.679
I don't know what to do.
Please pray for them. It's the

250
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.919
only thing we can do. And
I'm like, dude, I got you,

251
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.919
right. So that night I go
to pray and my prayers are complicated.

252
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.279
We've got a lot to fit in
and my God, please please help

253
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:09.679
Ahma's family. Please stop the stuffering, stop stop the violence. Please free

254
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:24.720
the people of Palestine, please please, and and please prew the hostages,

255
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:35.360
all the hostages. Please. And
while you're at it, you know,

256
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.480
free mister Bojangles. I mean he's
he's a beautiful dog. I'm praying for

257
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.879
that dog. Also, great jokes
in the news, and Michael Chase said

258
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.799
Joe Biden will visit the Baltimore Bridge
collapse site because like that bridge, Biden

259
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.399
is no longer connecting with black community. He's a great joke. Colin Joe

260
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.960
just talked about Trump's Bible and said
that it concludes the Constitution, the Pledge,

261
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.919
and I assume God's letter of resignation. He then tagged it with the

262
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.000
Bibles mostly the same, but Trump's
version is with Jesus and his disciples storming

263
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.360
Jerusalem to overturn the results of the
crucifixion. Wow, I'm gonna do Melbourne

264
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.480
quickly today because we're getting a little
long, all right. It is April

265
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.559
third in Melbourne. Today. I
will pick shows that don't have clips so

266
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:22.759
we can go a little more quickly. But let me tell you what's going

267
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.000
on. Melbourne International Comedy Festival goes
all the way till April twenty first.

268
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:32.720
As I'm talking and babbling, this
slow website is still loading. All right.

269
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.279
While the website loaded, I went
in, I got my car washed

270
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.960
and I picked up some coffees.
On the way back. It's finally loaded

271
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:44.279
now. John Glover's show is called
Microsoft Orifice. That's at the Catfish bar

272
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.240
Let's seho. The description of this
one is join John and some others for

273
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.919
some water cooler gossip as he dismantles
your work culture publicly docks is your Finsta

274
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:53.679
and spends forty five minutes of the
show trying to set up a new modem

275
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:59.240
calling all millennials, colleagues and corporate
cucks. Raise yourself for an evening of

276
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.360
hilarious Dan comedy that HR doesn't want
you to see. The Age gave it

277
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.759
four stars and says razor sharp one
liners are a plenty and timing is spot

278
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.000
on. This is a budding comic
to watch now. He does have a

279
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:18.519
clip. This website is terrible.
It didn't the shows say clip here on

280
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.759
some of the acts, and as
you heard last week, sometimes they do

281
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.960
that and there is no clip.
This one didn't mention a clip, which

282
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.640
is why I picked it because I'm
trying to wrap up the podcast today in

283
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.200
less than half an hour. But
there's a clip, So since we're here,

284
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.599
let's listen to the clip. Huh. I've recently started sitting down to

285
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:40.200
pays it's time at all getting back. Everyone should really give it a shot.

286
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.079
It makes a noise if you sit
down to pay. Oh yeah,

287
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.880
some women have idea. All the
women on his side silence everyone here like

288
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:53.759
we're we can, but honestly,
like just as a PSA for the men

289
00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:00.119
in the room. I pretty game. By the way. My blind friend

290
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:07.880
of your apostle, who kind.
He's fun. He's got a tremendous presence

291
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.119
too. Like him a lot all
right, speaking presents, I totally forgot

292
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.480
Rommy yusef the camera loves him.
He just looks good. He's so charismatic.

293
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.279
All right. Here's another one that
supposedly doesn't have a clip, James

294
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.200
Warren's King Single, and indeed it
does not have a clip. Let's see

295
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.119
James Warren's King Single, A show
of jokes, observations and stories about going

296
