00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:14.279
Callaroga Shark Media remembers Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
2
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.039
Let's ease into it. Today, Ray Romano has a new gig.
3
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.399
He will join Netflix's Running Point for season two. Now,
4
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.600
you're like, Johnny Mack, What the heck is Running Point?
5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.839
I don't remember anything called Running Point? How does it
6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.800
have a season two? Oh? Yeah, you'll remember this. This
7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.519
is that Mindy Kahling basketball show about a team in LA.
8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.280
Remember that one that was the thing that happened. Yeah.
9
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.320
Ray Ramano will play coach Norm Stinson in season two. Now.
10
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.399
Robert Townsend was originally announced for the part in September,
11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.600
but the creative team decided to go in a different direction.
12
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.000
They've recast the role with Ray Romano. They're doing some reshoots.
13
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.560
Norm Stinson is described as a basketball savant turned social
14
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.159
recluse who will team up with the team owner Kan
15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.240
Hudson to rediscover his love for the game and life. Now,
16
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.759
if you're not familiar with Running Point, the Mindy Kaling
17
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.799
basketball comedy. When his scandal forces her brother to resign,
18
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.760
Kate Hudson's character is appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves,
19
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.760
one of the most storied professional basketball franchises and her
20
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.640
family business. I feel like Ray Ramano is slumming here.
21
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.760
He can't need the work, right, He's gotta have crazy
22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.040
money from everybody loves Raymond. If he needed a payday,
23
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.319
he could just call up Brad Garrett and be like, hey, Brad,
24
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.599
we need a payday. You in And Brad Garrett is
25
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.120
going to be at Ray Ramono's house before that sentence
26
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.719
even ends. So it can't be that is this creatively fulfilling? Like,
27
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.159
I don't understand why Ray Ramono is doing this at all. Previously,
28
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.319
Ray Ramono starred in Netflix's No Good Deed, Remember that
29
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.840
One Me Neither. He was also on Made for Love,
30
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.840
appeared in Bookie and in Bupkuz, the Pete Davison show
31
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.879
that went sideways. Maybe Pete should have not walked away
32
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.079
from that show. He wouldn't have had to play the
33
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.280
Rion Comedy Festival make some money to pay for his ferry.
34
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.439
Who knows. I'm just a guy in the basement recording podcast.
35
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.799
I don't know anything anyway. I'm not sure why Ray
36
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.959
said yes to that one. Vulcher talk to Stavros Halkias,
37
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.799
who's being pushed in our direction? This week again. Nothing
38
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.879
against stop Ros. I'm just noticing the pushing. Vulture asked
39
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.919
Stavros about the concept of the Joe Rogan of the Left.
40
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.240
I'll remind everyone the Joe Rogan of the Left used
41
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.719
to be Joe Rogan. He'd have on people like Bernie Sanders,
42
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.319
who I think was actually on again recently. I'm really
43
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.439
backed up on my Rogan listening because, hey, Spotify, are
44
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.240
you listening. I'm sure you are. They have the commercials
45
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.560
on Rogan set to automatic, so in the middle of
46
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.560
a sentence suddenly we go abruptly to a Rogan voiced
47
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.520
read and it's really annoying. So I don't listen to
48
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.319
Rogan anymore unless I'm in the car where I can
49
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.840
actively hit thirty second skip. If I can't hit thirty
50
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.159
second skip easily by flicking my left thumb, I don't
51
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.280
listen to Rogan right now. Spotify take my note. I
52
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.639
know the Joe Rogan podcast is really struggling without me
53
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.639
listening anyway. Stavros, Joe Rogan the Left, what do you think?
54
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.759
Stavros said. What it means to me, man, is we're
55
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.280
eft if they're coming to me, if they're even sniffing
56
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.000
around over here means we need some more cultural figure
57
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.280
years on the left, or what it really means is
58
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.400
journalism is broken down in a way in this country
59
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.319
that's pathetic. Everything's for profit. There's now more and more
60
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.080
powerful people buying our newspapers, like Jeff Bezos buying the
61
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.360
Washington Post. But I also think part of it is
62
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.840
because comedians have boosted some right wing voices. It's unimaginative
63
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.800
thinking to be like, well, we need our own comedians
64
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.280
to do that. Look, do I feel a little pressure
65
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:21.599
to be a little more clear about where I stand
66
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.599
on things I do, But philosophically I just can't lead
67
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.479
with that. I can't say. And he has a quote
68
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.319
here that is quite vulgar. Let me see if I
69
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.919
can clean it up to get the gist here. So
70
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.759
basically what he's saying is stop doing whatever the ruling
71
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.759
class says and admit it's not immigrants and trans people
72
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.680
that are the reason your life's bad. It's because there's
73
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.919
tax cuts going to the point zero zero one percent.
74
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.879
It's because of inequality. Starvars said, I did go to
75
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.599
school for public policy, but when I was twenty, I
76
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.080
decided I was going to stop learning about that, and
77
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.599
I was going to learn to talk about my little
78
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.240
penis for a living. I do think at some point
79
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.080
in my life I'll sort of return to that. I
80
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.439
assume he means public policy, maybe not. I want to
81
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.960
do it on a community level. First. I grew up
82
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.879
in Baltimore. We didn't have I do want to help
83
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.000
kids in Baltimore. I was in some art programs that
84
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.199
really helped me growing up. So I've been thinking about that. Yes,
85
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.960
I think he wants to go back to public policy
86
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.199
and not showing up and be like, hey, check out
87
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.919
my stuff here. That would be very That would not
88
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.719
be appropriate. Stara said, I look at the arc of
89
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.560
my life. I had some beliefs. I got educated. I
90
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:17.959
realized what I want to do had nothing to do
91
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.040
with my education. But it's still kind of clarified when
92
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.519
I think about the world, when I want to happen,
93
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.839
and how I want people to be treated on a
94
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.759
base level. And now that I'm in the period of
95
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.000
my life where I have a career and my goals
96
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.000
are artistic, I've decided I don't care about the world
97
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.680
as much as I care about having a good time.
98
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.879
Bultra stayed on the politics thing, and Starvra said, I
99
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.279
think it'd be really good for my career if I
100
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:35.800
brushed up on a little policy, if I got a
101
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.639
couple of statistics together and went on some new show
102
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.800
and debated people, I would be nervous on CNN, right.
103
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.759
I'm more entertaining and funnier than those people, and they're
104
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.279
not that smart. If I studied for a month, I
105
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.079
could do this thing and to be really good for
106
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.560
my career. But I despise that careerist climbing bs from
107
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.079
DBK News, your home for comedy news. They went to
108
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.839
see Marcello Hernanez. You know Marcelo. He's the guy on
109
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.959
Saturday Night Live that does that one thing really great,
110
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.279
and he does one thing K News tells us. Laughter
111
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.000
filled the Exfinity Center as comedian Marcelo Hernandez took to
112
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.120
the stage to kick off the University of Maryland's homecoming week.
113
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.000
Marcelo covered a variety of personal topics, from childhood shenanigans
114
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.759
to the many differences between white and Latino people. Even
115
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.040
touched on pressing issues like gender, mental health, and friendship.
116
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.639
Some of the students recognized Marcelo Hernandez from NBC's Saturday
117
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.360
Night Live. See I actually pronounce at that time. I'm
118
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.160
aware that I often say Sanite live. I don't even
119
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.079
sometimes you'll get a Saturday Night Live out of me.
120
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.040
But sometimes I just go sanite live, and I'm aware
121
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.959
of it. Queen's accent there. A freshman chemistry major said,
122
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.480
I just knew he was from SNL and I watched
123
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.439
the clips online, so I was like, that sounds pretty fun.
124
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.800
A freshman English major said, I was really excited because
125
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.720
my household we watch SNL, so we love Marcelo. Many
126
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.360
recognized Marcelo Hernandez from one sketch in particular. Guess which
127
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.000
one it is. That's right Domingo, because even if it
128
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.639
wasn't a Domingo sketch, you probably were like, he's just
129
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.839
doing Domingo because he does one thing well, and he
130
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.439
does one thing. The freshman chemistry major said, I always
131
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.959
see the Domingo clips and it's probably my favorite sketch
132
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.920
right now. Billy Gardell after a decade or so doing
133
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.040
sitcoms and probably made some good cash. There's probably still
134
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.480
money in CBS sitcoms when he did it. He's going
135
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.040
back to doing stand up comedy. He's going to tour
136
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.959
theaters to his first tour of any kind in nearly
137
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.600
a decade. It'll kick off in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, January thirtieth.
138
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.560
Billy Gardell will discuss his recent weight loss of one
139
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.680
hundred and seventy three pounds because I have to acknowledge
140
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.439
the non elephant in the room well played there, as
141
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.639
well as his relationship with his father, who he calls
142
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.480
his hero. He talks about being an empty nester and
143
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.720
being in a sweet spot in his marriage twenty five
144
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.720
years in, using a latter subject as a way to
145
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:45.720
talk about the delusion of what people think love is
146
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.560
today and what they're telling our kids love is today,
147
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.600
and how our relationship should be. You'll also talk about
148
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.079
younger generations. Billy said, I think it's low hanging fruit
149
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.079
to rip on that generation and punch down on them,
150
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.240
meeting people in their twenties and thirties, when that's the
151
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.560
generation that needs a little wisdom from the older generation
152
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.040
more than anybody else has before these kids go through
153
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.399
the same things we all go through. Who am I
154
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.079
gonna be? Where am I gonna live? Is anyone gonna
155
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.519
love me? And then you had social media on top
156
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.879
of that and the stay of the world, I think
157
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.160
they need an adult they can talk to. As for
158
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.800
the weight loss, he was on ozempic, underwent bariatric surgery
159
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.439
and transformed his lifestyle. Billy says, I'm not on any medication.
160
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.560
I'm healthier than I've ever been. Could do some things
161
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.040
with my wife and kids I wouldn't been able to
162
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.279
do before I caught the unicorn that every heavy person
163
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.639
dreams of. I flew in a middle seat. Really, what
164
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.800
Billy Guardill was in a middle seat? I hope you
165
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.480
were with your wife and son and you chose the
166
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.240
middle seat, because if you don't have sitcom money after
167
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.639
two CBS sitcoms, your account's up to something. Something's going
168
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.120
wrong there. The other big one was buying something right
169
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:42.560
off the rack that had never happened to me in
170
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.560
my entire life. So it's those little victories that you
171
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.720
think about that kind of keep the wind in your sails.
172
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.040
The Toronto Guardian will sometimes profile comedians, and I like
173
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.040
to find out about new people they caught up with.
174
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.160
Everado Ramirez, best known for Late Mic Too, a chaotic
175
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.160
weekly late night talk show slash open mic hybrid that
176
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.319
blends sharp, riffing, experimental, risk taking and absurd invention, drawing
177
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:09.160
inspiration from icons like David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and others. Hey,
178
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.879
Mike Chisholm from the Letterman podcast, who's been doing stand
179
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.000
up lately? Why are you not ripping off this idea
180
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:20.480
for Vancouver? Bro? Come on Mike talk show Slash Open
181
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:25.040
Mike Hybrid inspired by Letterman, Canada, Vancouver, this thing I
182
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.639
digress Everado. How would you describe your comedy style? He said,
183
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.480
laid back with quick in the moment, riffing. I like
184
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.120
that kind of style, just saying I try to maintain
185
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.600
a cool presence while everything around me is CHAOTICX. Someone's
186
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.279
told me my show is the most interesting thing that
187
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.399
happens at comedy bar. Not necessarily the funniest, but certainly
188
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.879
the most interesting. It's a little backheaded there for a
189
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.519
comedian like, Hey, you're pretty interesting, all right? Who are
190
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:51.039
some of your influences? Late Night with both David Letterman
191
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.639
and Conan O'Brien. I love how Letterman would interview weirdos
192
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.480
like RVPCRR or Crispin Glover. Oh yeah, those are early Letterman.
193
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.440
Guess word have some yeah, hit I have some quirky
194
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.120
people on Dave wasn't afraid to sit in the weirdness,
195
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.240
leaving audience is wondering if it was a stage bit
196
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.200
or if something was wrong. Conan's absurd bits and segments
197
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.639
were a perfect amount of stupid and his self deprecation
198
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.480
and tightly wand control freak persona must have imprinted on
199
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.840
me early because now I host a late night talk
200
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.039
shows that I'm quite particular about it. Wear a suit,
201
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.399
I bring a big inflatable couch, I use a kitchen
202
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.759
time instead of lighting comedians, not writing my own monologue jokes,
203
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.519
but instead leaving a stack of cute cards at the
204
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.200
bar for strangers and other comedians to write jokes, and
205
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.759
I read it for the first time on stage at
206
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.879
the top of the show. I don't book my real
207
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.720
comedian friends because I think it's more interesting to talk
208
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.919
to the freaks and the scoundrels in the open mic world.
209
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.600
All that's more work for me and have an element
210
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.000
of risk to it, But I think that's what makes
211
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.679
the show more interesting. Favorite comedian growing up, Norm McDonald,
212
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.279
Louis Anderson, Conan O'Brien, favorite comedian now, he said, Nick Nemerov,
213
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.240
who's fantastic, but Nick did pass away a few years ago.
214
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.919
I'm familiar with Nick from playing him on the Weekly
215
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.960
Comedy Thing, which is the program I host on the
216
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.600
Live One service. The service is free, the show is free.
217
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.440
So how it works. It's like this, except I talk
218
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.399
way less, but I can also play comedian bits like
219
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.759
Nick Nemerov, who Everado Ramirez is into. Everado suggests everybody
220
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.919
check out Nick's album The Pursuit of comedy has ruined
221
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.600
my life. I'm loving this interview. All right, what's your
222
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.320
pre show ritual? He says. On the way to the venue,
223
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.039
I listened to the unreleased eighteen admitted version of Short
224
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.120
and Bread by the Beach Boys. Now I'm a big
225
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.240
Beach Boys fan. Like for Reels, Everado says, he goes
226
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.919
into a kind of transcendental meditative state where my brain
227
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.919
shuts off for a few minutes. My wife does not
228
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.679
like this song and is worried that listening to it
229
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.200
is making me go insane. But to that, I say,
230
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.039
mommy's little baby loves shirt and Bread. Oh my god,
231
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.360
I dig this guy. And did you watch Jeopardy During
232
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:47.720
the week? On Monday, there was a person on. Mister
233
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.200
Levine's first name is Aaron. But when you know, you
234
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.519
write your name in the box so we can see
235
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.799
what your name is. He stylized his name aa run,
236
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.480
a callback to the famous hilarious key and peel sketch
237
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.080
substitute Tu. You're probably familiar with it. It's one of
238
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.879
their iconic sketches. Analysis of the sketch says the scene
239
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.440
is cherished for its hilarious take on a phenomenon that
