Callaroga Shock Media. Hey Johnny Mack with your daily comedy.
2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.119
I'm really excited about this Jim Gaffigan bourbon article. I
3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.160
haven't even pre read it. A couple of late night
4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.920
jokes before we begin, from Seth Myers. These are pretty good.
5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.160
A White House Press secretary, Caroline Levitt pushed back this
6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.600
week against criticism of the East Wing demolition and said
7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.920
that Democrats are just jealous. Seth said, what the only
8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.600
person jealous of that gaping hole is the kool aid man.
9
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.320
That's a solid joke. And one more. During a meeting,
10
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.479
Trump said he has plans to build a glass bridge
11
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.359
between the White House and his new ballroom. While he
12
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.159
got handed to him, even at his age, he's still
13
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.719
looking for new and innovative ways to look up ladies dresses,
14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.679
solid work. Seth Myers writers, as tas yesterday, you know,
15
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.560
I don't really want to do politics. I just want
16
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.520
to do silly stories like this one from Garden and gunn. Now,
17
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.000
first of all, there's a publication called Garden and Gun
18
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.640
that sounds like a Jim Gaffigan joke. Like, Oh, I
19
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.320
don't think those two things go together. Tom Wilms writes
20
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.319
under the headline Sipping Bourbon with Jim Gaffigan, the comedian
21
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.319
and co founder of Father Time Bourbon, on his whiskey
22
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.879
education and bourbon's funny side. Okay, Gaffigin says, bourbon combines
23
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.920
this rich heritage and booze, I mean two perfect things.
24
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.200
I was never a hard alcohol guy, but as I
25
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.599
got older beer was too filling. During the pandemic, he
26
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.599
would grab some quiet time with his wife, Jeanie. Jim said,
27
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.239
that's when I really embraced whiskey, specifically bourbon. We're told
28
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.280
with Father Time, Jim Gaffgin isn't just lending his name. No, no,
29
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.640
no no. He's hands on in selecting and blending barrels
30
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.920
for each release. Each batch is bottled in both a
31
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.159
lower proof version and a higher proof empty nester strength
32
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.560
and his name for some facet of his perspective as
33
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.920
a dad. Now are we learning something here? This says
34
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.920
the upcoming November release fourth and long nonst to the
35
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.439
challenges of raising a big family. Did we know we
36
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.319
were getting a Jim Gaffigan release. I know. I'm the
37
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.079
host of the show. I'm the one with the daily
38
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.840
comedy news. John, Why are you asking us you're the
39
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.760
guy who has the news. Did I erase this from
40
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:05.560
my brain? Did we know we were getting a gaff again
41
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.439
release in November? Anyway, Apparently it's called fourth and Long.
42
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.280
You learned it right here. Daily Comedy News write it down.
43
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:13.960
Fourth and Long The challenges of raising a big family,
44
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.199
Jim said, when you have multiple kids, that fourth child
45
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.039
is when you're really getting into a no man's land
46
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.800
of parenting. The comparison of when a football team is
47
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.800
facing fourth and long. The odds are against it, but
48
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.919
if you can pull it off, you feel invincible. Oh
49
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.759
that's just the preamble. Let's get to the article. Jim Gaffigan,
50
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.719
What made you want to start a bourbon brand? Jim said,
51
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.159
being in the entertainment industry, you'll occasionally be approached with opportunities.
52
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.919
I was usually approached for food things, but I was
53
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.319
always reluctant. Then I was approached to do a bourbon
54
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.919
but my experience with celebrity spirits is that the quality
55
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.599
isn't always there. All right, let's take a time out there,
56
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.439
because that's a good time to visit the Facebook group,
57
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.560
which is Daily Comedy News podcast group where the gang
58
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:00.199
started reminding Johnny mack of some other celebrity spirits. It's
59
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.800
Dylan said, Adam Carolla has Manngria, Bert Kreischer and Tom
60
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.879
Sagora know he's just back from the Riot Comedy Festival.
61
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.479
That Tom's gore guy. They have poor Osos vodka. Dylan
62
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.719
says he's actually seen that in stores. Rob points out
63
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.039
Dan Ackroyd has some sort of liquor brand. Yeah, he's
64
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.439
got a vodka. If I remember correctly, I worked with
65
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.879
Dan one time in Chicago. Did I tell you this story.
66
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.680
It's Saturday, let's go all over the place. So we
67
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.400
were doing at serious It's called a town hall, so
68
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.560
you get famous celebrities there. So we had Ackroyd and
69
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.960
Jim Belushi flut Chicago there there, everybody recorded this whole thing,
70
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.479
and something went sideways, and somebody forgot, not me. Somebody
71
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.199
forgot to get the talent to sign the talent release,
72
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.000
and they never signed the talent release. So this whole
73
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.400
thing got recorded and I don't think it ever aired.
74
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.919
I also felt bad. One day I was calling Jim
75
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.479
Belushi's cell phone and it was on the West coast,
76
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.599
so I called mister Belushi rather early. He played it
77
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.039
off and was really cool about it, but this jerk
78
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.560
woke up Jim Belushi and still feels bad about it. Jim,
79
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.879
if you're listening, I'm sorry and thank you for being
80
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.360
cool about it. Anyway, Akroyd and Belushi were really cool
81
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.560
that day, and Dan Akroyd did have some sort of
82
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.039
like skeleton liquor brand. John, do you have the internet?
83
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.840
Why don't you look it up? Crystal Head vodka. That's
84
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.919
what it is. Rob also points out Guy Fiery and
85
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.199
Sammy Hagar have tequila. Did you see fake Sammy Hagar
86
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.959
got arrested the other day? Google that long story short.
87
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.439
Some guy got arrested. He was claiming to be Sammy Hagar.
88
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.480
How did he prove he's Sammy Hagar. He's saying I
89
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.319
can't drive fifty five now. He looks like if Sammy
90
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.040
Hagar had two hundred donuts for lunch. I digress. Von
91
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.839
pointed out Cheech Marin has tris Papa Lotte Mescal and
92
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.160
I shared as I on Friday went on my coffee run.
93
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:42.959
I always listened back to the show to see if
94
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.319
I made any mistakes, and I was served an ad
95
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.319
for David Ortez. Rum you Dave Ortez big Poppy the
96
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.519
baseball player. Anyway, we are far afield. Where were we?
97
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.360
We were in the middle of this Jim Gaffigan article.
98
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.839
He was explaining what made him want to start a
99
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.399
bourbon brand. Now, of course the answer is money, but
100
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.480
let's pretend and that that's not the answer. Jim said,
101
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:04.720
I was supposed to do a bourbon, but my experience
102
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.000
with celebrity spirits is that the quality isn't always there.
103
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.120
You think. That prompted me to reach out to a
104
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.480
college friend from who's here in Louisville. And he was like,
105
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.560
it's a gamble. You might end up with some unsold bourbon.
106
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.839
And I said, well, at least it would be bourbon
107
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.959
i'd enjoy. Jim said, I'm the youngest of four brothers,
108
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.639
and the brothers would all come down to Kentucky and
109
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.040
we'd sample. When you're sampling bourbon, it's a labor of love.
110
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.720
Oh yes, it sure is a labor of love. That's
111
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.079
not to say there aren't moments when you're like, I
112
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.279
don't know how I can discern between the ten of these. Yeah,
113
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.480
that must be really hard, and I'm not his experienced.
114
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.959
It's spitting out as I should be Ooh, that's gross.
115
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.879
But it was through that that the seeds of my
116
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.600
fascination grew. The great irony of my Bourbon journey is
117
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.600
in that some ways, it's almost the opposite of college. Yeah,
118
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.319
that is ironic. You go to college to learn, but
119
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.879
you end up drinking more. And in Bourbon you think
120
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.920
you're just going to drink, but you end up learning. Jesus, Jim,
121
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.519
listen to yourself. Oh my god, stop, dude, you sound insane.
122
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.800
Tom Wilms in Garden and Gunn, the oddly named publication,
123
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.439
asked Jim Gaffigan, what's the most bourbon geek thing you've
124
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.240
caught yourself saying. Jim said, I've had to stop myself
125
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.160
from saying juice. I have a joke where I address
126
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.120
that people are so helpful in the bourbon industry, and
127
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.040
they've been patient with me because I'm like a puppy
128
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.040
who's excited. I'm glad there's no footage for me going, hey,
129
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.800
so what's a bunghole? Oh that sounds pretty dirty, boy,
130
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.519
check the claw how much? Oh, there's a lot of
131
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.800
this left. I have other things I need to do.
132
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.560
Should we go back to this tomorrow? Yes, let's go
133
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.920
back to this tomorrow because we do have other stuff
134
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.879
to talk about. For example, Nate Prighetzi will be the
135
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.120
celebrity guest picker on ESPN's College Game Day Today College
136
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.079
Game Day, which starts at seven a m. Eastern. I
137
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.160
hope you got up early and listen to the podcast.
138
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.079
They'll be at Vanderbilt's Wyatt's Lawn. Nate is a noted
139
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.519
a Vanderbilt Commodore's supporter. He'll be making his second appearance
140
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.800
on the pregame show two years ago November fourth, twenty
141
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.560
twenty three. You remember that day, Yeah, that was the
142
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.360
day LSU played Alabama. Nate Brigatzy picked Alabama crimson side
143
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.759
forty two LSU twenty eight. Meanwhile, Sports Illustrated wrote about
144
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.879
super Vanderbilt football fan theovon as I writes, he walked
145
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.600
through the grass across the concrete with his nearly patented
146
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.480
Detroit Tiger's hat, glasses, a Teal shirt, and an Alabama
147
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.680
belt hanging on his shoulder. That stunt was one that
148
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.920
some within Vanderbilt's fan base will forever hold against Theovan
149
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.040
if he tries to validate his Vanderbilt's football fandom. But
150
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.600
theo did not want to be disrespectful as he walked
151
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.360
onto the stage in front of Alabama's Lloyd Hall. Alabama's
152
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.920
fan base had already brought the College Game Day crew
153
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.000
under fire for choosing Theovon to be a guest picker.
154
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.800
THEO said, I feel blessed to be here, but Vanderbilt
155
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.959
is my ride home. They're my ride home. I'm not joking,
156
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.319
he said. I picked Vandy. But it's also like everybody
157
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.360
can't pick Alabama. That's no fun. Some people didn't like it,
158
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.120
but whatever, man, everyone can't pick the same team. That's ridiculous.
159
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.879
As I tells us. Theovan has been at all but
160
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.800
one of Vanderbilt's games this season. He missed the win
161
00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.480
over Utah State. He was in New York for a
162
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.360
stand up shit deal. Said, I feel like it just
163
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.480
showed up when they were winning. Bro, It's pretty fascinating
164
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.319
to me. I'm an underdog man. I've been an underdog
165
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.920
my whole life, and the only thing I know is love.
166
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:08.920
That's what this program has been. It's a gift for
167
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.399
me to be around young guys that have a lot
168
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.600
of energy and stuff. Number ten Vanderbilt takes on Number
169
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.959
fifteen Missouri today and three point thirty. If you're in Lexington,
170
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.240
Kentucky today, Brad Williams is bringing the Growth Spurt Tour
171
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.079
there and they'll be filming back to back shows. At
172
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.959
six and nine, Brad Williams will record a comedy special
173
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.399
at the Lexington Opera House. He was asked why Lexington.
174
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.200
He said, Dusty Sligh sent Brad Williams pictures from a
175
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.519
show Dusty did at the historic nine hundred and sixty
176
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.080
four seat Lexington Opera House when he performed in twenty
177
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.039
twenty four. That convinced Williams. Plus, he says, it happens
178
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.080
to be on Short Street, and I thought that was
179
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.159
a sign I'm having fun today. I hope you're enjoying
180
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.000
the program. It's October in my house, which means the
181
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.039
house is either ninety four degrees or forty four degrees now.
182
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.080
Right now, I'm freezing, so I'm in full sailor mode. Oversized,
183
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.799
bright yellow sweatshirt, traditional podcasting sweatpants. And I wanted to
184
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:04.919
change up my shoes. I'm a bit of a runner
185
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:06.720
and I like to change my shoes around. I went
186
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.360
under the bed and I found these sneakers that I
187
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.120
retired mostly after the twenty twenty three New York City Marathon.
188
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:17.919
Humble Brag and boy the rubber on these are worn out.
189
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.039
Just walking around the house is pretty slippery, but I'll
190
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.039
wear these four the day. Did you ever get an
191
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.960
ocular migraine? I came down here to record all these shows.
192
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.080
It's more or less cleared up now, But about a
193
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.720
half hour ago, I was like, I'm going to record
194
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.279
an ocular migraine. If you've never had one, it looks
195
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.480
like lines and like fluorescent neon squiggly lines. So it
196
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.000
was right in the center of my left eye, and
197
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.879
I'm like, I can't even read the scripts. This is annoying.
198
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:40.080
So I went and did some other stuff. But it
199
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.000
seems to have cleared up now. I mentioned yesterday that
200
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.399
we'll see little pushes behind artists, and I suspected that
201
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.840
New York Times article about Stavros hal Guess I'm like,
202
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.960
they're pushing stav Ros well. He's also on the Good
203
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.519
One podcast this week. Haven't listened to it yet, and
204
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.879
Vulture Ascid posted a recap yet, but that's something we'll
205
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.039
look out for. So it seems like we're pushing Stavros
206
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.559
a little bit. Johnerald Zale releasing his third album, Beat
207
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.080
Life to Death. That'll be out November seventeenth on Blonde Medicine.
208
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.399
We're told the stakes were extremely high for this one.
209
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.279
Johno recorded several days before his dad had quintumple bypass surgery.
210
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.519
Johno closed his set with ten minutes about Dad. Sadly,
211
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.679
his father passed away later from complications, but JOHNA was
212
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.879
able to play him the recording and they laughed together
213
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.559
in the hospital room. Wow. John holds a doctorate in neurosirens.
214
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.720
He's now a full time comedian. Blonde Medicine Beat Life
215
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.960
to Death out November seventeenth. From the BBC, comedian John
216
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.679
Bishop said seeing a film based on his life changing
217
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.960
first stand up gig has been bizarre but brilliant. That's
218
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.320
the new Bradley Cooper movie. Is this Thing on? Loosely
219
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.759
inspired by John Bishop's gig at Manchester's Frog and Bucket
220
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.200
Comedy Club twenty five years ago. The movie version is
221
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.720
set in New York and tells the story of Alex,
222
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.879
played by Will Arnett. Bishop said there was an awkward
223
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.840
moment when he and his wife Melanie met Bradley Cooper.
224
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.120
Bradley gave Melanie a hug, and then Melanie she had
225
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:01.480
a minute with him, talking to him, but she was
226
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.240
whispering in his ear. We came back to the hotel
227
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.720
and saying, this has been a mad few days. And
228
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.399
I said, what are you gonna remember the most about it?
229
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:10.440
And she said, whispering in Bradley Cooper's ear. Bishop says,
230
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.039
that kind of doesn't make me feel great, and let's
231
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.799
get out there on a good line. That is your
232
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.399
comedy news for today. All right, Tomorrow, I guess we'll
233
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:20.200
talk more about Jim Gaffigan, bourbon, I got some other stuff,
234
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.240
and we'll see you then.
