Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack. If your daily comedy news,
3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.800
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. And if you
4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.160
skipped yesterday's episode, I get it. But it was a
5
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.039
real episode and this weekend and today are all real episodes,
6
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:21.640
no holiday filler. So if you want to go back
7
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.679
and catch that one, friends, I think John Mulaney's at
8
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.920
the cash in stage. The headline Kraft Mac and Cheese
9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.679
proves it's the best thing ever in bold new creative
10
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.840
platform that's right, voiced by John Mulaney, Best Thing Ever,
11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.799
reinforces that the brand's deliciousness, ease, and affordability make it
12
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.840
the greatest thing on earth. The press release, which tags
13
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.960
two cities, Pittsburgh and Chicago. I don't know if I've
14
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.840
ever seen a two city press release, but from Pittsburgh
15
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.079
and Chicago the news Kraft Mac and Cheese has unveiled
16
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.960
a new creative platform, best thing Ever, proving that nothing
17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.240
compares to a bowl of Kraft Mac and Cheese selling
18
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.000
one million blue boxes each, proving that Americans eat healthy.
19
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.759
If you're looking at all of us, including the guy
20
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.680
recording a podcast's basement, going why are you people? Overweight gee,
21
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.959
I don't know. Selling one million blue boxes each day,
22
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.680
Kraft Mac and Cheese has uniquely shaped American history and
23
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.480
waste sizes present through every healthy stage of life, from
24
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.280
an afternoon school snack to an empowering rite of passage
25
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:24.159
on the path through adulthood. The brand's fan base transcends generations,
26
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.840
Anchored by one of the brand's most significant media investments
27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.680
and voiced by comedian and actor John mulaney. Tap the brakes,
28
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.799
Why because he's in The Bear? Actor John mulaney, Hold on,
29
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:40.280
I'm going to IMDb, known for documentary Now as a writer,
30
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.239
Spider Man into the Spider Verse voice actor as Spider
31
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.359
Ham Chippendale Rescue Rangers. Previous roles by actor John m'lane
32
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.200
include The Bear, Big Mouth, Poker Face, Bupkiss, the voice
33
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.879
of Jack Horner in Puss and Boots, Last Wish. He
34
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.560
played Henry David Thurreau in two episodes of Dickinson, appeared
35
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.239
in two episodes of Crashing where I think he played
36
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.159
John Mullaney but I digress, and he appeared as John
37
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.560
Mullaney on The Jim Gaffigan Show. Okay Fine. Comedian and
38
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.039
actor John mullaney Now this press release didn't give us
39
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.280
a quote from the comedian and actor John mullaney, but
40
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.360
we are told Kraft Mac and Cheese is turning Black
41
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.599
Friday into wait for it, Mac Friday. That's right. You
42
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.400
can go to Walmart dot com and for just nineteen
43
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.719
dollars and thirty seven cents. This is not a commercial.
44
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.159
This is me making fun of something. Go to Walmart
45
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.520
dot com and you get the mac Friday Box. It's
46
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.199
a flat screen TV sized box filled with sixty five
47
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.039
boxes of Kraftmac and Cheese. So here's what I think
48
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.800
you do. I think you buy one of these and
49
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.360
you wrap it and you have it shipped to like
50
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.199
one of your friends. You're like, hey, Scott Beckett, Merry Christmas.
51
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.800
Your pal Johnny Mack. It sits there under his tree
52
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.919
for a month. He's like, wow, Johnny Mack, he used
53
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:53.400
the football pool money and he bought me a big
54
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.000
screen TV. He's really awesome. And then on Christmas, Scott
55
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.840
Peckett gets up early and he waits and he saves
56
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.319
the big box for last and then he opens it
57
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.719
up and find out I sent them sixty five boxes
58
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.159
of Kraft Mac and Cheese. Merry Christmas. Scott. He's not
59
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.360
just selling alcohol free beer, He's selling mac and cheese.
60
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.159
You know who else likes to sell your product is
61
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.800
the really cool guy Jim Gaffigan. He shared his bourbon
62
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.879
set on YouTube and shared a minute of it on
63
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.240
social media. Let's listen.
64
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:22.080
I love the esthetic inside of a liquor store. It's
65
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.120
almost if some interior designer was like.
66
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:31.719
What if the whole store looked like the back room.
67
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.039
We want people to feel like they're in an episode
68
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:39.400
of Hoarders. There's a silence you only find in liquor stores.
69
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.439
You ever notice that people walk around all serious, like
70
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:51.960
they're in an art gallery. Interesting, Maybe this will make
71
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.879
the pain go away.
72
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.479
Liquor stores have their own vibe, right, There's a tidly
73
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:07.080
divorce dad energy. A stack of boxes suddenly becomes a shelf.
74
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.879
It's not dirty, but it's certainly not clean. Things are handwritten,
75
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.000
crossed out. You feel like you've stumbled upon a garage
76
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.600
sale and a bus station.
77
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:23.360
Now.
78
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.000
I didn't comment in advance because I didn't want to
79
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.680
poison your braid. But here's what I want you to do.
80
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.759
I want you to listen to what I have to
81
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.399
say and then hit thirty second, not skip, but whatever,
82
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.439
back thirty second, back twice, maybe three times. At this point,
83
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.800
I want you to listen to again. Here's my question too,
84
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.399
is Jim Gaffigan just getting by on goodwill? He is?
85
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.639
Listen to it again. It's not that funny, says the
86
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.560
guy recording a podcast in his basement. But at least
87
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.439
I would call you back if you helped my career jump.
88
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.399
On YouTube, you can watch live from Old Forrester the
89
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.720
Bourbon Set. Jim shot the special at the Kentucky Center
90
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.920
for the Performing Arts in Louisville, Kentucky. Curious how many
91
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.959
of your tax dollars went to this? With oak barrels
92
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.680
lining the stage? Now, I timed ins at Google the
93
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.279
phrase the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville, Ky. Funding.
94
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:13.240
The AI overview, which could be incorrect, says the Kentucky
95
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.439
Performing Arts Center is funded by a mix of public
96
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:20.079
and private sources, including the Commonwealth of Kentucky, private foundations,
97
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.000
corporate partnerships, and individual donors. Meg of that what you will,
98
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.319
but that is where Jim Gaffigan shot the bourbon themed
99
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.399
Bourbon set, which you can find on YouTube and just
100
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.959
listen to The Bourbon Set was inspired by Jim's deep
101
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.279
dive into the bourbon world the launch of his own
102
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.399
small batch bourbon called father Time, which is now being
103
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.439
promoted by a comedy set, which was recorded at the
104
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.199
Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville, Kentucky, which
105
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.839
AI says is funded by a mix of public and
106
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.600
private sources, including the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Jim said, with
107
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.720
line from Old Forrester or the Bourbon Set, I let
108
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.879
my love of bourbon lead the way at this point.
109
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.600
I'm not sure if bourbon is a passion or a
110
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.720
midlife crisis, but I love it. I can answer for
111
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.279
you if you want. Since this was such a niche endeavor,
112
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.000
I didn't even go to a big streamer. I just
113
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.680
wanted to get this material out there for the other
114
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:05.600
bourbon geeks.
115
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:06.120
Wow.
116
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.040
I just checked the clock. We're pretty deep in. I'm
117
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.639
still on story number two, all right. I watched some specials.
118
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.480
I know Johnny Mack, who hosts a podcast called Daily Compedy.
119
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.560
Doos actually watch comedy specials? Gee? Thanks, host, I know
120
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.040
I'm the worst. You know how much sports there's been
121
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.199
Monday night football. There is a night football Saturday Night
122
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.399
college football, Sunday Football, Sunday Night football. I try to
123
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.759
go to Trivia Night on Wednesday. That leaves Tuesday and
124
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.519
Friday to watch stuff. So last Friday I watched stuff.
125
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.560
I put on Sebastian Maniscalco's Hularius Special. At one minute
126
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.839
and fifty four, I muttered to myself, it wasn't doing
127
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.959
a bit. It was just me home alone, and I'm
128
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.720
watching it and it gets to the one minute fifty
129
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.279
four mark and I catch myself saying out loud, Holy
130
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.720
f word. It was that bad. I made it until
131
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.800
five minutes and twelve seconds in. And here's my question.
132
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.720
This is not a bit, this is a real question.
133
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.160
Is Sebastian Maniscalco at this point just doing a character
134
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:02.360
that he internally calls old man Clay. Watch it again
135
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.959
and tell me he's not just doing old man Dice
136
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.319
because he's doing old Man Dice. I don't know if
137
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.240
he realizes he's doing old Man Dice, but he's doing
138
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.399
old man Dice. Pass on that one. Here's the one
139
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.399
you should watch, mo Ammer Netflix. It's called Wild World.
140
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.160
I like when a comedian has something to say. MO
141
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.360
has something to say, won't spoil it. Very funny, very
142
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.959
on point, even that a poor man's Carlan heading towards
143
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.639
the closer there, which I thought was really interesting. And
144
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.040
I assume he knows he was doing poor Man's Carlan.
145
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.560
If I ever get to interview him, I will ask
146
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.759
him about that. But I recommend on Mo Ammer's Wild
147
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.240
World on Netflix. Another one that I liked as I
148
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.959
was just pilencing around the streamers, Matt McCusker's Netflix special,
149
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.639
A humble offering. I went into it with low expectations.
150
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.279
I don't know why, and I was like, oh, this
151
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:51.279
is pretty funny.
152
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:51.639
Now.
153
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.399
The sound is a little homebrew. I think we need
154
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.720
to up the production values a little bit, but humor wise,
155
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.959
pretty good. Gonna make my end of the year list.
156
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.639
He's a bit of a poor man's Shane Gillis, which
157
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.480
makes sense because of the podcast. But like that one
158
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.759
a lot. I checked out Kathleen Madigan Special on Amazon.
159
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.879
It's fine. It's Kathleen Madigan doing Kathleen Madigan things. Same
160
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.920
note on Leanne Morgan Special, which is on Netflix. It's fine.
161
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:16.800
It's not for me, but it's fine. I remember I
162
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.639
told you last week. On Amazon, there was one that
163
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.639
I was like, this is terrible. I don't believe a
164
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.920
word that the comedian is saying. I remember what it
165
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.560
was because Amazon put it in front of me again.
166
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.720
It was Joe List small ball. I just didn't believe
167
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.759
a word out of his mouth is true. And I
168
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.759
understand what stand up comedy is. I get it. But
169
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.679
I loved Most Special because he has something to say
170
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.399
and it's based in truth, and I just felt like
171
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.639
Joe was shocking jokes. Again, I get what comedy is
172
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.720
not for me. I did not yet get to Kevin
173
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.639
Hart's acting My Age, which came out on Netflix on
174
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:49.159
a week where Hey, guys, football football Friday, NFL Today,
175
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.559
college football, more football Wednesday night, was one of the
176
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:53.799
big go out nights of the year. What do you
177
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.720
think I'm watching these things? I mean, I guess they
178
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.039
think people are off of four days. Maybe they have time. Anyway,
179
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.799
Johnny Mack didn't get to it yet. The folks at
180
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.039
Steady Cut watched it. They said, Kevin Hart delivers vintage material,
181
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.120
toning down theatrics and settling back into his comfort zone
182
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.120
with the benefit of maturity. That sounds refreshing because if
183
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.480
you watch the football games. Every I was gonna say,
184
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.879
every other commercial. I'm pretty sure it's every commercial. Is
185
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:18.679
Kevin Hart trying to get you to bet on sports,
186
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.159
to have the brakes? Okay, we got it. Kevin heard
187
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.919
you the first seven underd times. Ready steady cut, Johnny
188
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.879
Mack is feisty today, Ready steady cut said. Any comedian
189
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.360
who was a sufficiently lengthy career and a certain amount
190
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.240
of success is going to go through ups and downs.
191
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.080
Here's how you know you're on a down. Your specials
192
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.120
on Hulu. That's how you know. Just just everybody write
193
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.879
that down. Kevin Hart has had them in real time.
194
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.159
You can generally chart each stage in his career through
195
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.279
his specials. Has he had a Hula special? He has
196
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.600
not yet. Any comedian it was a sufficially a lengthy
197
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.600
career and a certain amount of success, et cetera, et cetera.
198
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.840
You can generally chart each stage in Kevin's career through
199
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.000
his specials. The Hollywood theatrically of his arena shows the
200
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.360
ill fitting Chappelle light diet tribe of his COVID special.
201
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.039
Heart has always had a well defined comedy persona full
202
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.159
of exaggerated physical details, expressions, and voices, but he's been
203
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.120
susceptible to chasing the moment a little instead of defining
204
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.759
it himself. Wow, good criticism there ready. Steady Cuts says,
205
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.320
this is not true of acting my age, which is
206
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.960
about you guessed it, getting older and becoming more comfortable
207
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.240
than ever with his reality. They say it's not a
208
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.840
complete reinvention for heart, but it's a returned to vintage form.
209
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.759
All right, I'm looking forward to that one. Boy. We
210
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.919
are long here and I'm enough to cut things. I'm
211
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.080
telling you, I got a plenty for the weekend. Let
212
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.879
me get this one in. Donald Glover, do you see this?
213
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.840
He said he had a stroke. He was experiencing symptoms
214
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.200
before his New Orleans show in September twenty twenty four.
215
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.399
Donald Glover said, I had a really bad pain in
216
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.120
my head in Louisiana, and he did the show anyway.
217
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.639
I couldn't see someone. He went to Houston. I went
218
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:44.639
to the hospital. The doctor was like, you had a stroke.
219
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.399
Donald Glover said. The first thought upon hearing that was, oh, here,
220
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.159
I am still copying Jamie.
221
00:10:49.919 --> 00:11:04.360
Fox comedy stock Markets.
222
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.679
Thank you, Bert Reynolds. In the comedy stock market, much
223
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.320
like the real stock market, is a half day today.
224
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.159
All right, my recommendations, Let's buy some Robbie Hoffman. Why
225
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.759
Johnny Mack, Because when I saw Malany was producing her special,
226
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.200
I dusted off my knowledge of for Robbie Hoffman. I
227
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.039
was like, Oh, Robbie Hoffman's really good. So let's buy
228
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.559
low on Robbie and we are gonna make out like Bannetts.
229
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.559
The opposite here, I think is let's sell some Sarah Sherman. No,
230
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.960
Johnny Mack loves Sarah Sherman, but the premise of comedy
231
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.000
stock market is not who's good who's bad, It's where
232
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.519
is the value? And I think regular America who knows
233
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.440
Sarah from SNL is going to watch this Sarah Sherman
234
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.960
Sarah Squirm special on HBO next weekend. We're two weeks
235
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.279
from now, and be like, what is even happening? So
236
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.919
let's sell Sarah. Let's sell all our patent. Oswald, he's
237
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:55.360
out destroying Star Trek, he's getting very political. Let's go
238
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.639
to upset people. You know you can't do that, Patton Oswald.
239
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.840
I appreciate it, but you're gonna lose wils. We'll sell
