Callarogas Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.080
daily comedy news. After last weekend and all the talk
3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:15.839
of Hebburg. If you're like, you know, I gotta like
4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.239
that style of comedy, check out Chang Wang. He recently
5
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.399
spoke to review wm dot com and he talked about
6
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.199
how he spends time on the road connecting with nature.
7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.120
He told Review, I enjoy the infinite diversity and beauty
8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.439
of plants. I find that to be very relaxing and
9
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.960
inspiring and grounding. It brings me to the present, want
10
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.479
to just stop and lean in and look at the
11
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.600
details on a flower or a leaf. The review rights
12
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.159
a mix of universal observational humor and ultra laid back
13
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.359
slacker charm. He gets compared to Mitch Hedburg. Wang said,
14
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:48.920
my kind of humor, my approach to life, and my
15
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.479
approach to my stand up. Essentially, it's kindness and joy.
16
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.600
So that means being present, paying attention to finding all
17
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.600
the little joys that are everywhere. I mean, there's disasters,
18
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.439
it's chaos right now, especially in the news and everything.
19
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.640
It's just crazy out there. But there's so much good
20
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.880
and beauty and joy that we just overlook because it's everywhere,
21
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.640
and it's so small, we're too immersed in it to
22
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.400
see it. Sometimes. He's one of those guys that you know,
23
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.280
you've never heard of, that's been grinding it out for
24
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.159
twenty years already. I hope he pops his career did
25
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.840
step up in class when he had his Netflix special
26
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.719
in twenty two. That one's called Sweet and Juicy. Watch it,
27
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.680
it's funny, Wang said. I'm more of a people pleaser.
28
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.719
I'm not a big trash talker. I don't like punching,
29
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.200
especially punching down. I prefer sharing things that might bring
30
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.799
a little delight rather than aggression and violence and conflict.
31
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.640
I'd rather delight people. I feel like I had a
32
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.920
really chill upbringing, But I think there's something about being
33
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.079
an immigrant or being an other in your youth. You
34
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:37.879
pay attention to what's the vibe in the room. Whenever
35
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.519
we go out somewhere, you pay attention to who's looking
36
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.519
at whom, what's the energy. I felt like immigrant kids
37
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.519
they just have a superpower to have that sensitivity and
38
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.400
that awareness. But it's also a bit of a rougher
39
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.599
way to grow up to be constantly considering these things.
40
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.799
To get back to the plants. Wang says, I think
41
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.719
eventually there'll be some sort of possible creative convergence between
42
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.480
my jokes and my performances and my love for plants.
43
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.239
Give them a cable show. Jeopardy fans, they're all in
44
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.959
a ker fluffel. You see today on Jeopardy. Comedian Guy
45
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.919
Brainam will be competing on Jeopardy against Mike Dawson for Portland.
46
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.400
Reddit users noticed Guy's name and face on the Jeopardy website.
47
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.159
One redditaur said, check in the lineup for this week's contestant.
48
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.039
I was a bit surprising the name Guy Brainum. At
49
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.439
first thought, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe there's two Guy Branham's,
50
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.240
but nope, seems to be the same guy. Since it
51
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.680
lists writer and comedian as his occupation. Some wondered why
52
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.800
is he on Jeopardy and not celebrity Jeopardy. One theory
53
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.800
he must be smart enough to get on normal Jeopardy.
54
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.879
Paullie Shore is opening a comedy club, which is interesting
55
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.960
because Polly is the son of the legendary Mitzi Shore,
56
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.879
known for operating the comedy club in Los Angeles. So
57
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.199
is Polly opening one in La Nope, Texas, Austin, Texas,
58
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.879
Sean Nope, San Antonio. Shane Quaid is Polly's business partner,
59
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.240
and they've been transforming the Woodlawn Theater into a comedy venue.
60
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.960
They hope to produce at least two hundred and four
61
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.680
shows each year, so let's see fifty two weeks in
62
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.960
eight years. That's four shows a week, more or less.
63
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.560
Most will be stand up, but they also envisioned doing
64
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.000
occasional concerts as well as movie premiers. Tonight is the
65
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.479
soft opening San Antonio. Comedians will be featured at eight o'clock.
66
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.599
The first five hundred tickets each night are free. After that,
67
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:25.400
tickets are ten dollars eighty three cents. Random number guessing
68
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:26.879
when you have the tax that comes out to like
69
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.240
an even number, like twelve or something. So that's the
70
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.000
soft opening. Tonight. On April twelfth, it's the grand opening.
71
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.719
Your headliner Paully Sure, He'll do shows at seven and ten.
72
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.560
Those tickets go from thirty two forty eight to sixty
73
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.159
three eighty seven. Then on May third, Tom Cotter and
74
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.960
Carrie Louise will do shows at seven and ten. Their
75
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.960
shows cost twenty one sixty five to fifty three oh
76
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.639
four random numbers. The Woodland, opened in nineteen forty five,
77
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.879
is a movie house and was the site of the
78
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.879
world premiere of the movie The Alamo starring John Wayne
79
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.199
That happened in nineteen six. They ripped out the seating
80
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.919
and put some custom made leather seats. That's not gonna
81
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.520
go well, those are gonna get torn up. What are
82
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.719
you doing. That's a mistake, Quait said. We want people
83
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.280
to be able to sit here for three hours because
84
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.520
the other theaters we've been to you just don't want to.
85
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.639
You say that now that first tear in a leather
86
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.040
seat's gonna kill you. You can't have drunk people watching
87
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.360
comedy shows on the leather. That's not a good idea.
88
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.160
I'm sorry. They've betted space between the rows to make
89
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.879
it a little easier for patrons to slide past one another.
90
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.680
You are Elcos will be posted on the back of
91
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.879
each seat, allowing folks to order drinks from the bar
92
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.240
and have them delivered by servers without having to stand
93
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.240
in line. That's neat. A forty five panel led wall
94
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.199
will be installed at the back of the stage, meaning
95
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.680
comics can have any kind of background they want Mary
96
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.240
Picaorisi is hosting the soft opening and says everyone talks
97
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.720
about Austin and Austin is fantastic. Don't get me wrong,
98
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.959
but I think people are sleeping on San Antonio prepping
99
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.199
the show. I stumbled across this one. I've never seen
100
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.079
a note like this. I just thought it was interesting.
101
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.600
Ali Wong is coming to Portland. You were a show
102
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.480
at Helium being advertised as a workout. The show's called
103
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.839
work in Progress. Ali will return to her stand up
104
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.839
roots to workshop raw and unfilled her new material in
105
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.560
an intimate club setting. Ali will also do work in
106
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.279
progress sets in La and San Jose. The Helium shows
107
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.279
are May twenty eighth and twenty ninth. One hundred and
108
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.920
thirty one dollars for reserve seats, one hundred and six
109
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.959
for general admission for a workout, plus eleven dollars for
110
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.759
the service charge. You could take your service charge and
111
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.120
uh was the helphrase stick it up your nose with
112
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.879
a rubber hose. That's what you could do with your
113
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.360
eleven dollars service charge. So one hundred and seventeen dollars
114
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.399
for a workout? Are you kidding me? No? Absolutely not.
115
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.600
Get out of here. With that, I can go see
116
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.279
Pauli Shore for thirty two dollars and forty eight cents
117
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.519
and Pauli will be doing as a material. And they
118
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.920
have leather seats. What do you have Helium? Anybody know
119
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.959
what kind of seats they have at Helium? Let me
120
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.319
look at a picture. Looks to me like Helium Comedy
121
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.800
Club has shares, wooden shares. You don't want to sit
122
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.120
in those for three hours. Put in some leather seats
123
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.079
if you get to charge you one hundred and seventeen dollars.
124
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.240
What are you doing? Also, the May twenty ninth show
125
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.959
is at four forty five pm on a Thursday. What
126
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.920
are We doing? Stephen Rodgers has announced his new stand
127
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.600
up special. Half of We will premiere on Nate Bergatzy's
128
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.079
Nate Land YouTube channel on April eleventh. The specials produced
129
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.639
by Nate and Brian Reagan. The new hour has Stephen
130
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.399
Rodgers blending wit and vulnerability as he shares his relatable mishaps,
131
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.399
personal struggles, and stories from his engagement all building. No,
132
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.800
there's a spoiler here, I'm not no, no, no spoiler.
133
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.920
Watch it erase that from your brain. He stares stories
134
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.600
from his engagement. You just sit there. Why I'm not
135
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.560
gonna tell you. Come on, what kind of article is this?
136
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.120
I could edit that out, but as you can tell him, silly.
137
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.439
Today Hattiesburg wants to be the city of one hundred murals.
138
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:56.600
So if you want to be the city of one
139
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.160
hundred murals, you gotta have some murals. So they put
140
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.399
up mural number sixty two honoring Fred Armisen. Why wouldn't you.
141
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.199
Luckily Fred happened to be in town on his comedy
142
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.399
tour when this miro went up. That really worked out.
143
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.800
Fred said, to see myself as a musician. He's doing
144
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.879
that drum thing highlighted on this wall next to the
145
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.000
other artist. Is an honor, of course, it's a double
146
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.800
honor that I was born here. Hattiesburg is a constert
147
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.759
miner in my life. I am proud and honored to
148
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.839
be from here. Let's stop off on gossip corner. Louis c.
149
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.079
K selling some real estate. He apparently has sold his
150
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.319
three bedroom, three bathroom apartment in a four story walk
151
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.519
up in Greenwich Village, New York City. Gimme Shelter says
152
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.920
it was sold for two point three six million dollars.
153
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.240
It first hit the market last May at two point
154
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.480
four to five million. So somebody got a nice little
155
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.680
deal there from Louis c. K. Three bedroom, three baths,
156
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.759
three level apartment inside a four story, ten unit walk
157
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.680
up at three forty five West Fourth Street. Now can
158
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.600
this be right? He bought the co op with his
159
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.439
then wife in two thousand and six for two hundred
160
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.240
and fifty thousand dollars, according to property records, two hundred
161
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.360
and fifty thousand, and he sold it for two point
162
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.879
three six million. Nice job, Louis c. K. We're told
163
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.759
the home opens to a large living room on the
164
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.879
parlor floor that leads to a small L shaped kitchen
165
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.839
with a vintageile that could used for prepp and storage,
166
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.120
as well as a breakfast bar. Another large room with
167
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.959
three windows and a fireplace can serve as a dining room,
168
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.879
and additional bedroom stairs rise to a second floor bedroom
169
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:32.799
with another fireplace and views of historic Jackson Square Park.
170
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.000
I'm from New York City. I don't think I've ever
171
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.720
heard the phrase Jackson Square Park, and I would dare
172
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.679
you to send letters, but again, I grew up there.
173
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.399
I don't know what this is. It might be historic,
174
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.200
but it ain't famous. Let me look this up. Bordered
175
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.519
by Eighth Avenue on the west, Horatio Street on the south,
176
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.320
and Greenwich Avenue on the east. The park interrupts West
177
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.039
thirteenth Street. I mean it's nice looking at all, but
178
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.879
not the most famous park. And for those of you
179
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.559
not from the York City, when I'm saying park, you're
180
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:06.480
picturing like big giant thing. This would be the size
181
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.320
of a roundabout in your town. Okay, I digress. There's
182
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.720
a third bedroom at street level that's accessed by a
183
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.080
spiral staircase from the parlor floor, and that has its
184
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.080
own private entrance, and it could be used as a
185
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.399
home office. So you wanted to get away from everybody
186
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.720
and work on your stand up comedy. C K apparently
187
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.600
loves buying and selling things. In December of twenty two,
188
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.360
he sold a fourteen hundred and fifty square foot co
189
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.240
op on twelve Street for one point eight million after
190
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.360
buying it for two point four to five million. Oh
191
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.320
took a big loss there, leiy, what are you doing there?
192
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.559
He also sold his five bedroom home at thirty five
193
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.639
Charlton Street for five point eight million. That's less than
194
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.840
the six point five million he paid, so what's going on?
195
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.919
He was really terrible at real estate until very recently.
196
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:53.039
Who knows. Let's see what's happening at that Nashville Comedy Festival.
197
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.399
Uh oh, people gonna be really upset. Bridge done Arena
198
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.440
to night seven o'clock, Kill Tony, destroying comedy. But they're
199
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.600
hilarious jokes. Ooh. The man is fear is getting up
200
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.600
and doing one minute jokes by amateurs and then Tony
201
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.320
and the gang slam them and we all have a
202
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.799
good time. Stop doing that, Tony, what are you doing?
203
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.240
You're destroying comedy. It's fun show, folks. Check it out
204
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.600
over at Zanies at seven viered Oz Kurt Metzger. He's
205
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.159
been known to be in a controversy or two. He's
206
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.600
at the Lab at Zani's at seven Veer again at
207
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.799
nine fifteen at Maine Zanies Kurt again at the Lab
208
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.720
at nine fifteen. If you're in Nashville tonight, go see
209
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.559
Kill Tony and uh if you can hustle over to Viera,
210
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:39.080
do that. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival has been rocking
211
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.519
and rolling of it had a chance to tell you
212
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.759
about it. Luckily, the Age has seen a bunch of
213
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:47.480
shows let's see what they're into. Broden Kelly, you know
214
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:51.720
him from Anti Donna. He's playing Bear Deluxe until April twentieth,
215
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.240
The Age tells us Broden Kelly is officially a cult figure.
216
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.519
In this wildly unhinged but completely focused hour. He starts
217
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.840
by presenting us with three different Facebook groups where fans
218
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.720
those pictures that may or may not look like the
219
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.480
Anti Donna star. Oh, that's like. One of my favorite
220
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.399
Facebook groups is people that vaguely look like Adam Sandler.
221
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.960
I love that one. I can't get enough of that one.
222
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.600
The Age says. Kelly definitely holds our attention through the
223
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.519
use of a four part structure. He knows when it
224
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.200
hit us with an obnoxious banger, and presents some jokes
225
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:23.000
as facts. One line, apparently he told Funnier than I will.
226
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.759
I found out during the research for this show that
227
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.879
this is the worst song ever made. Five stars. They
228
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.799
gave it all right, Freddy Billa Moria. Freddy's show is
229
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.000
called Allow Me to Interrupt Your Doom Scroll and you'll
230
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.519
find Freddy at the Theory Bar until April sixth. Uh,
231
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.360
let me check you, caunty here. What's today? Today's the
232
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.600
fifth but Melbourne's out of us, so it might be
233
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.360
the sixth in Melbourne. By the time you're hearing this,
234
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.679
get move and everybody the age tells us his newest show.
235
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.120
Allow me to interrupt your doom. Scroll runs the gamut
236
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.440
of topics. Dogs hitting a high school, reunions, dating, go
237
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.080
into the library while it all sounds runn of the mill.
238
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.960
Billa Maria injects each scenario with a layer of unpredictability.
239
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.000
One of the topics spoilers. Don't act like you were
240
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.840
getting on a plane going to Melbourne. Don't get mad
241
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.960
at me, and I'm spoiling the show you weren't going.
242
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.679
Where does one milk a scorpion? Four stars? And let's
243
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.120
do one more. Julian Cosgriff is at the Art Center
