00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.880
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:15.919
Is Sane Gillis going to walk away from comedy? Of
4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.480
course not. Don't be silly, but Crack was listening to
5
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.679
a recent edition of Matt and Sheen's Secret podcast. Sheen
6
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.160
Gillis said, I've been stricken down with a melancholy dude.
7
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:25.280
I went for a walk the other day. I was
8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.079
going through it. I don't have anyone even talk about
9
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.359
this stuff. Mccuster said, I see everyone saying I stink.
10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.439
I got a message the other day from a lady going, hey,
11
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.359
just so you know, me and my boyfriend watch a special.
12
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.759
Sucks so bad. I hate it. I don't have the
13
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.759
same feeling of excitement every day. It's just kind of
14
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.479
weird anxiety. Shane said, I see how Chappelle left for
15
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.280
a while. There's a daydream all the time where I'm like,
16
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.000
I could leave. I coud leave for a few years.
17
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.280
I probably will give me two more years, and I'm
18
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.119
going to walk away for a while. A lot of
19
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.280
people have a tough time leaving. You got to get
20
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:52.960
off the stage for them to want you back on
21
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.039
the stage. McCusker pointed out when you come back you
22
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.560
have to have a new look, using examples like Letterman
23
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.159
coming back with a beard and Chappelle coming back in shape.
24
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.280
What will Shane do? Shane said, I've got it. I'm
25
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.359
going to change the pigmentation of my skin away for
26
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.879
six years and come back black as hell, his five
27
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.359
year plan in place. Don't talk to anyone, just disappear,
28
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.280
go to Madrid, all right. David Cross was asked by
29
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.280
Vanity Fair what made David Cross decide to write about
30
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.640
that re Odd Comedy Festival. Cross said, there were like
31
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.760
three or four different requests to get my take on it.
32
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:23.560
I knew it was only going to continue us. I
33
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.079
thought I'll just put it out there. Then anybody who
34
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.280
wants can pull whatever quote they want. But ironically that
35
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.599
resulted in lots and lots and lots and more people
36
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.439
going hey, so what are your thoughts? Vanedtty Fair said
37
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.799
the response from Bill Burr he not so canceled a HEAs,
38
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.239
I'm sorry, and a few others I mounted to a
39
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.239
shrug about getting paid. What do you think of that?
40
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.959
David Cross, who said, I disagree that that was their response.
41
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.079
The response came, but that was in attendance with this
42
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.840
kind of after the fact justification. The one I've seen
43
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.120
most is well, it's a good thing to engage in dialogue.
44
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.120
We're opening it up and we're showing them what stand
45
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.840
up comedy can be, and this is a good thing.
46
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:56.920
One of the things that keep coming back to you,
47
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.200
said David Cross is a comment someone made about Bill
48
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.079
Burr's response. You know, I went and they didn't behead anybody,
49
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:03.920
and it was clean, and women were walking around. They've
50
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.040
got a Popeyes out of Chili's and whatever. But somebody
51
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.560
else wrote, you saw what they wanted you to see,
52
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.479
and you said what they wanted you to say. So
53
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.039
it has nothing to do with performing for the people
54
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.560
because they weren't performing the people. It was a very dangerous,
55
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.879
upsetting thing that they participated in. And of course it's
56
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.039
for the money. If they really thought it was all
57
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.479
about these other justifications that they've come up with, they'd
58
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:22.919
go and do it for free. They'd go to a
59
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.120
town square and perform for the actual people there, not
60
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.039
the royal family, and not with a four page list
61
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.360
of things that can't talk about. I would have more,
62
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.400
not a lot more, but I'd have more respect for
63
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.240
people who are just like I'm doing it for the money.
64
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.680
When you start equivocating and making all this what about
65
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.479
your pants that are made by slave labor and all
66
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.159
this bs, I'll continue to talk about those bad things
67
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.000
either hero or a broad us have done my whole career,
68
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:43.439
and that's the beauty of what I get to do.
69
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.280
You can't do that in Saudi Arabia. So they're grasping
70
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.039
at straws. All those arguments collapse under just a moticum
71
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.919
of reality. Vanity Fair brought up the Devil's Advocate argument
72
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.960
that you know, things in the States aren't always perfect.
73
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.280
I'm paraphrasing their question there to get to David Cross's response,
74
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.080
which is when I'm perform in the I don't perform
75
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.560
for the government paid for by the government. I've heard
76
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.479
Trem Marcos Razi also make that argument. I don't condone
77
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.840
what my government does, and I talk about that amongst
78
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.159
other things. So those are two very big differences. I'm
79
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.680
not performing for the people who are torturing people. Dave
80
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.840
Chappelle made that statement about it's easier to talk there
81
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.960
than they just talk about Charlie Kirk in the United States.
82
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.240
Cross said they executed somebody for some tweets. I don't
83
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.159
even know how gregious they were. They were just negative
84
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.800
towards the royal family, which to say the government. So
85
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.159
that's a BS argument. It doesn't stand up from Vulture.
86
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.800
I think this was the good one podcast. They Askedavro's
87
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.960
Halkias about describing his podcast Stove His World as an
88
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.960
anti Inceel podcast. What do you mean? Stavro said, there's
89
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.120
a weird mean spiritedness amongst young male losers that is
90
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.000
harming them. I only say that because I was a
91
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.639
young male loser. Took me until pretty late in life,
92
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.520
well in a college I even have a little confidence
93
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.360
and start dating. I think about what have happened to
94
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.400
me at seventeen. If there's somebody being like, if you're
95
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.800
me and a girl's and a racist, they'll have to
96
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.879
paraphrasing have sex with you, I would have been like, nice,
97
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.840
I guess I'm racist. Now that seems so much easier
98
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.840
than believing in myself and becoming a good person. Now
99
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.039
everyone's like there's a young masculinity crisis. I know what
100
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.560
a fifteen year old boy cares about, and I just
101
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.560
want to say, here's the actional path to getting girls
102
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.120
to like you. You don't have to go down that road.
103
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:12.919
This is poisonous. This is not good for you. I
104
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.439
promise you. You just feel better by being a good hang.
105
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.839
The bar is actually really low for straight dudes. Now,
106
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.399
just don't go to the dark side, brother, and you'll
107
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.160
be fine. I mentioned a few episodes ago that I
108
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.000
saw a crazy theory from Joe Rogan. Joe said this
109
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.800
on The Joe Rogan Experience. I got a theory. I
110
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.360
think one of the reasons why Michael Jackson's songs were
111
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.560
so romantic. There was a romance to his songs when
112
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.240
he was talking about love that was like it was
113
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.920
so attractive because he never had it before. It was
114
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.879
a fantasy. It was like being a normal person like
115
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.879
that was the fantasy that was coming out in the songs.
116
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.600
Onto the theory, did Michael Jackson write his own songs,
117
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.000
Rogan said, I don't know. It's a good question, but
118
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.120
even the way he expressed those songs, I Betty wrote
119
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.040
some of those songs. Now, unlike Joe Rogan, I have
120
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.480
the Internet. I solved this pretty quickly. I looked it up.
121
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.879
Billy Jean, Michael Jackson beat it so Michael Jackson. Thriller
122
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.480
was written by the English songwriter Rob Temperton, who also
123
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.319
wrote Rock with You and Off the Wall from the
124
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.639
nineteen seventy nine album Off the Wall, which is a
125
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.399
fantastic album. So there's your answers, Joe Rogan, did Michael
126
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.920
Jackson write his own songs? Sometimes? From Arab News your
127
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.959
home for Comedy News, they caught some of Andrew Schultz's
128
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.839
act at the Abu Dhabi Comedy Festival. Now that's not
129
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.000
the Read Comedy Festival, this is the one in Dubai.
130
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.240
In that said, Andrew Schultz poked fun at Dubai's traffic
131
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.959
and riffed on the city's obsession with Emar buildings. I
132
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.720
was unfamiliar with the term Emaar. It appears to be
133
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.199
a property company in Dubai that sells luxury homes. Wikipedia
134
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.439
says emer Properties Dubai is one of the largest real
135
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.439
estate developers in the UAE. Schultz closed with a lighthearted
136
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.959
Q and A segment. Before Andrew Santino headed off to
137
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.000
the Read Comedy Festival, he had spoken with Variety about
138
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.079
how more and more people are independent creators. Santino said,
139
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.199
working with my friend's interests me. I work with my
140
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.399
best friend Bobby Lee every week doing Bad Friends. It's
141
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.560
the most fun I've ever had without restriction and without
142
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.720
everyone trying to grab at us and make money office.
143
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.120
I don't know what my future is in television and film.
144
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.120
It doesn't feel like I'll have anything in that world
145
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.800
anytime soon. Now this article, which was before Riod, why
146
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.879
doing it today? John? I needed one more story, and
147
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.399
I've been sitting on this one and it just slotted nicely.
148
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.319
That's why I'm dragging this out today. But it kind
149
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.879
of fits the narrative here. Santino said. A lot of
150
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.120
people say the comedians say, you can't say anything, but
151
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.000
I don't know anybody that says that. I feel like
152
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.800
this is a narrative that gets put out by the media,
153
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.839
where they're like, what can comedians even say anymore? We
154
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:38.879
don't say that. We don't give a hoot. We go
155
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.079
out every night and say whatever we want. I'm gonna
156
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.759
add asterisk and less performing in Riod. You can go
157
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.000
at any club except what in Reod, and you'll hear
158
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.439
an array of different levels of stuff that is questionable
159
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.120
on savory touchy RESI. That's every night, at every club
160
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.279
in the country. The country here means the United States
161
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.439
of America, so I don't buy in to that narrative.
162
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.360
But I do think as a society we're becoming more
163
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.639
comfortable with the idea that a comedian can about anything
164
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.319
as long as it's funny and done with love and
165
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.560
not in riatte. I added that last part, it shouldn't
166
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:09.319
come from this awful place pregnant pause. America now more
167
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.480
than ever, wants to have fun. They're tired of being
168
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.680
sad or scared. And as the world continues change rapidly
169
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.160
and people look confused about what's happening, we are supposed
170
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.920
to be the ones that joke about what's happening. Interesting
171
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.079
take on comedy there by Andrew Santino. The great dramatic
172
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.000
actor Adam Sandler was at the AFIFS premiere of the
173
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.680
upcoming j Kelly movie. George Clooney told the Hollywood Reporter,
174
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.600
you get treated the way you treat yourself. This was
175
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.560
a different kind of role for Adam, and I wanted
176
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.000
to make sure that he wasn't making fun of his
177
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.680
incredible talent. He just likes to deflect, and I was like,
178
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.439
you know what, dude, you're really good in this film,
179
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.560
and you're really good actor. Let's not make jokes clooney
180
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:48.639
forbade people from calling Adam Sandler the Sandman. Sandler is
181
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.879
that in response, I still call myself the sand Man.
182
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.759
He can't stop me. He's just very protective over me.
183
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.319
He's a really nice guy. We do all these scenes together,
184
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:56.800
and we get deep together, and it's I just want
185
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.000
people to recognize that. And I'd say I'm okay, I
186
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.040
like just working hard, and he'd say, no, he's very nice.
187
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.800
He's trying to look out for me. Mark Maron was
188
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.519
on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon last week. Now,
189
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.639
I'm going to play a short version of the clip
190
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.000
and then a long version of the clip. For the
191
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.519
short version, I want you to pay attention right at
192
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.000
the top. Now, I defend Jimmy Fallon frequently, but I
193
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.639
want you to pay attention at the top, really, really
194
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.360
pay attention to the way Jimmy Fallon reacts as if
195
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.480
Mark Maren is surprising him with a Bruce Springsteen anecdote,
196
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.879
as if Fallen has no notes, and as if Fallon
197
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.000
doesn't know why Maren is booked on the show to
198
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.799
promote the Springsteen movie. This is really lame. Here, pay attention.
199
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.159
It's going to come up really quickly. Listen. And I
200
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:40.639
did the.
201
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.679
Movie The Bruce Springsteen Movie. Oh my gosh, how is that?
202
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.720
I mean, what is that? Jimmy, Come on, man, you
203
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.879
know why he's there? Oh gosh, really, oh gosh, I
204
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.919
can't believe Springsteen. Really, why do you think he's on
205
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.679
your couch? Why do you think he's there? Anyway, here's
206
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:56.360
the full clip.
207
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.600
And I did the movie, The Bruce Springsteen Movie. Oh
208
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:01.720
my god, how is that? The funny thing is I
209
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.759
interviewed Bruce. So I go out to his house in
210
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.120
Jersey and it was like during Christmas time, and I'm
211
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.960
waiting in this like he's got this little separate house
212
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.360
for just his guitar as a motorcycle and some other stuff.
213
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.200
So I'm sitting out there waiting for him, and I
214
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.399
see him walking down from the house and I'm like,
215
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.240
all right, here he comes. He doesn't really know me,
216
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.200
he's not real sure what the show is. So I'm
217
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.320
trying to break the ice and I go, so what's
218
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.240
going on with the house? A lot of Christmas craziness, cooking, wrapping,
219
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.600
President stuff, and he goes correct, and I'm like, can
220
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.000
I talk to that Bruce at the entire hour. And
221
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.279
years later a friend of mine, Tall wilginheld the bass player,
222
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.720
was talking to Bruce about doing press, you know, for
223
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.840
her album, and she goes, I don't know how to
224
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.879
handle interviewers, and Bruce goes, you just say what you want,
225
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.240
doesn't matter what they ask you. You tell them what
226
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.320
you want to tell them. And then she says, my
227
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.320
friend Mark Marin interviewed you and he said he pushed.
228
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.279

Leno ust knows the Tonight Show. He's the worst person
236
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.919
who ever lived, because he comments about late night television
