Callaroga Shark Media.
2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.039
I am psyched and feeling good today. Hello, I'm Johnny
3
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.240
Mack with your daily comedy news. Why you're so happy,
4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.000
Johnny Mack. If you've been around me lately, you've heard
5
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.679
me say things like I don't want to talk about
6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.199
politics all day. I just want to make fun of
7
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.280
like Jim Gaffigan. Well, good news. Jim Gaffigan did a
8
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.039
lengthy interview about his Bourbon project on tomorrow's show. I'll
9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:29.960
lead off with that so I can put my feet up,
10
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.520
take it easy, and goof on, Jim Gaffigan. That's what
11
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.759
I want to do. But today there's some actual news
12
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.320
that we do need to cover. But let's start with
13
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.520
late night jokes. Did you see someone's knocking down the
14
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.679
East wing of the White House. Now hold on, now,
15
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.960
if you're like John you just said you want to
16
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.399
do politics, This isn't politics, This is just silly jokes.
17
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.560
Jimmy Fallon said, Guys, a lot of people are angry
18
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.000
at President Trump because it was just announced he's demolishing
19
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:51.679
the entire East wing of the White House to build
20
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.439
his new ballroom. Yeah, the entire wing is gone. Normally,
21
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.439
if you hear that you're flying front to your airlines.
22
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.600
See that's not a political joke, that's a clean joke.
23
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.320
Seth Meyer said, this is the first thing aliens do
24
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.359
in movies to announce their evil. They blow up the
25
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.280
White House. Trump is just cutting out the middle man
26
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.680
of invading aliens. Love it. And if you're a long
27
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.239
time listener, remember during the pandemic, I had to create
28
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.000
and rely on the late Bot. Well, late Bot is back,
29
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.239
Baby late Bot says the east wing used to be
30
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.640
where the first Lady's office was. Mulaney is reportedly thrilled
31
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:21.879
she's finally getting her wish. She doesn't have to be
32
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.599
in the White House. Officials say the ballroom will fit
33
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.000
a thousand guests, which is great because that's just enough
34
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.400
room for Trump's lawyers. As I'm sitting here recording just in.
35
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.640
John Stewart as commented on the ballroom on his weekly
36
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.000
show podcast. John said, just make mar Alago the new
37
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.840
White House and Palm Beach the new capital. That's fiscally responsible.
38
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.959
That's somebody looking out for the debt. Speaking of John Stewart,
39
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.200
Jimmy Kimmel gave an interview and said that ABC should
40
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.879
have given eleven thirty to John Stewart way back when
41
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.439
Kimmel was on Ted Danson's podcast and said ABC wanted
42
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.000
a traditional late night talk show in that slot. John
43
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.640
and I have the same manager, James baby Doll Dixon,
44
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.640
and James was about to close this deal for John
45
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.959
to host the show. The ABC chairperson watching my tape
46
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:05.560
and he was like, I think this might be the guy.
47
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.719
And he brought the tape to Bob Iger and Iger said, yeah,
48
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.280
this might be the guy. It was a very strange
49
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.759
thing because James was in the difficult position of having
50
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.759
to tell John Stewart, You're not going ABC, but Jimmy's
51
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.520
going ABC. That was a mistake. By the way, they
52
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.080
definitely should hire John. If I'm in that position, There's
53
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.400
no question I hired John one hundred times out of
54
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.319
one hundred. Kim Mill said he was confused over winning
55
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.479
the gig. He remembers saying, I was like, why, this
56
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.080
is quite a leap you guys made. I was on
57
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.080
The Man Show. I was doing football picks on Fox
58
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.159
NFL Sunday and Iiger goes, well, you were cheaper, and
59
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.000
everybody laughed, but I knew he wasn't kidding. Kim O'll
60
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.680
recalled the early days of the show were rough. I
61
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.560
think my vision of hell is being forced to watch
62
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.080
my first year of shows, because it's just as painful
63
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.560
as anything could get for me. It took us a
64
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.479
long time to figure it out, and we're very fortunate
65
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.240
to get a long time to figure it out. Somehow
66
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.080
we wound up getting good ratings. I still don't know
67
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.400
how that was, but they were good enough to keep
68
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.240
us on the air, even though I was causing trouble.
69
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.759
Every like two and a half months, some major thing
70
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.599
was happening. Something came out of my mouth, you know,
71
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.280
and caused a whole thing. It was tumultuous. Kim Will
72
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.400
has asked about Colbert Gates. You know, it was a
73
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.039
little quid pro quo make the famous politician go away.
74
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.719
What the merger through, Kimmel said, we don't know for sure.
75
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.120
What I do know for sure is that some of
76
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.120
the information that's been released by the people who let
77
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.879
him go can't possibly be true. There's no way he's
78
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.159
losing forty million dollars a year. There's no way it's
79
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.520
even close to that. I know how finances of late
80
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.960
night television shows work, and it's just ridiculous. It doesn't
81
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.599
make any sense at all. So when you hear things
82
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.080
that are obviously lies, you have to assume that there
83
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.719
are more lies behind it. And that's what I think. John,
84
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.879
How you do and not being political today, It's going great, guys.
85
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.560
Nicki Glazer, she's got the right agent. Hollywood has decided
86
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.879
we're gonna put Nicki Glazer in front of everybody. That
87
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.240
is not a backhanded comment about Niki. They do that
88
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.439
with people every so often. The next person you're going
89
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.159
to see everywhere is Rachel Sennott. Write that down. We'll
90
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:52.879
come back in two months. You'll see what I'm saying.
91
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.800
Nicki Glazer is going to starve and produce a new
92
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.159
film that Judd Apatow will produce for Universal Pictures. It
93
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.960
is described as a modern, edgy romantic comedy. That's all
94
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.039
we know about that. Nikki Glazer will host the Golden
95
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.000
Globes this year, which brings me to the next story,
96
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.479
which has me very upset. Netflix. You know they made
97
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.360
that movie Jay Kelly with George Clooney and Adam Sandler,
98
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.600
the great gramatic actor, Adam Sandler. Yeah, they're putting it
99
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.519
in the comedy categories. For the Golden Globes. Now, why
100
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.600
does this bother you, Johnny Mack? Because everyone is saying,
101
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.639
Adam Sandler, the great dramatic actor, is fantastic in it,
102
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.920
and why wouldn't he be. He's a great dramatic actor. Now,
103
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.480
if you nominate this as a comedy and he wins,
104
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.680
he's gonna think he's a good comedian, which he's not. Guys,
105
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.120
put this in as a drama. They're planning on nominating
106
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.399
Adam Sandler for a Best Supporting Actor. But don't call
107
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.000
this thing a comedy? What are you doing? Obsessimately whole plan.
108
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:49.600
I thought I had this figured out, that we were
109
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.240
gonna convince Adam Sandler, you know what, rest of your
110
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.279
life you do drama. Jake Kelly in theaters November fourteenth.
111
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.560
It'll be on Netflix December fifth. The Golden Globe nominations
112
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.480
are out to say eighth. In the Chicago Tribune, Christopher
113
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.879
Burrelli writes, we are currently entering a new Sandler season,
114
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.399
one of those brief, occasional windows of time where we
115
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.040
are reminded that, hey, you know what, life's too short.
116
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.399
Everyone likes Adam Sandler these days. He makes some bad movies. Yes,
117
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.360
and he makes some smart movies. We might even root
118
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.560
for him to win an oscar for j Kelly. That's right,
119
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.759
we would. Would he wear a hoodie and jogra State
120
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.680
Academy Awards, we would hope. So let's see what am
121
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.639
I wearing right now on the Sandler thing. I've got
122
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:32.920
a pretty nice looking gray sweat zip jacket. That's pretty good.
123
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.959
But I am wearing my traditional podcast in gray sweatpants.
124
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.879
So if I jump on a zoom call, you'll think
125
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.439
I'm dressed nicely, But then waist down, I'm all Sandler today.
126
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.439
Barelli talks about walking into the United Center to see
127
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.319
Sandler's stand up tourney. Writes, says, I waited across the street.
128
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.759
I listened to a pair of traffic cops get into
129
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.560
a confusing but somehow relatable argument about what's actually endearing
130
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.079
about Adam Sandler. One cop said he's a good actor.
131
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.480
The other cop said, I think all these people here
132
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.560
because he's funny. Yeah, Adam Sandler the comedian, Well he's
133
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.519
a good actor, but I don't know what's funny about him.
134
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.600
Am I a cop in Chicago? Is this like an
135
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.879
HBO series where I'm leading a dual life and like,
136
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.680
in the daytime, I'm a podcaster in the basement and
137
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.199
at night I'm a traffic cop in Chicago. Because that
138
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.399
sounds like this guy overheard a conversation with me. And
139
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.000
by the way, this is what I want the show
140
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.879
to be. I don't want to talk about Therion Comedy Festival.
141
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.759
This is more fun this piece right. Sandler's new shows
142
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.879
are titled You're My Best Friend, and as Alan quarters
143
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.199
that sounds, it's a pretty spot on way of describing
144
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.399
a show so driven by the audience's warmth and goodwill,
145
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.920
it transcends what we typically expect of a performer. To
146
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.720
put it bluntly, Sandler is not a particularly funny stand
147
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.040
up and he has never been. Thank you, Christopher Borelli.
148
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.839
Oh my god, I might have to reach out to
149
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.360
this guy and have this guy on. Where was I
150
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.399
he was telling us to put it bluntly, Sandler's not
151
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.959
a particularly funny stand up and he has never been. Yeah,
152
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.600
you can't say that enough. I know, I repeated it.
153
00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.959
He paces and arrives at jokes that sound half from
154
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.160
membered and talks in a speedy mumble. I would say
155
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.639
about half the people seated around me. Never laughed out loud.
156
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.639
Once you preach, Christopher Brelli preach, but they were smiling.
157
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.639
Saandlor is almost nothing new to say about the topics
158
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.600
he's been talking about at fifty nine and growing old,
159
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.800
surviving teenage daughters, stumbling through married sex, and somehow it
160
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.720
still kind of works. The New York Times that a big,
161
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.800
big profile of Stavros Hockey as the premise Stavros Hockey
162
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.199
has wants a career, well, his fans let him have one.
163
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.240
This thing is really long. The person who wrote it
164
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.319
really knows Stavus's career. They wrote, If you think he
165
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.399
recognize Halkias, you probably do. At five seven and three
166
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.240
hundred pounds, he has a ninety five percentile body type
167
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.600
that he does not try to hide. His wardrobe centers
168
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.800
on loudly powdered shirts and European tracksuits. All right, so
169
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:49.120
so far today, I'm definitely dressed better than Stavros, and
170
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.480
I'm probably tied with Sandler unless we're on a zoom,
171
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.800
in which case I'm in first place because of my
172
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.040
nice gray is Zip hoodie. I digress. They talk about
173
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.240
Stavros's last which people often accuse him of faking, but
174
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.399
which burst forth so often that if it was ever
175
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.319
an affectation, it seems to have become natural long ago.
176
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.319
A high percentage of the people who approached him and
177
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.759
Madison turned around after hearing this laugh. Then the next
178
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:16.360
section is a long recap of his career. Starvos says,
179
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.519
I don't really like being famous. I don't really like
180
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.079
seeing people like stopping me on the street. He said
181
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.360
he might have to adopt a more discreet look. The
182
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.240
question of Halkius's performance on Tires and he's really good
183
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.759
in that. That's a great show. You know, I think
184
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.040
I haven't watched like the last four. It got distracted.
185
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:32.840
Thank you for New York Times reminding me have to
186
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.159
go back and watch that on Tires. Is any indication
187
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.919
he's not disappearing into his roles like many comedians who
188
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.000
transition acting. He seems to have been hired to play
189
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.720
himself on a TV show, a thrill for fans who
190
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.480
previously knew him as himself on a podcast or himself
191
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.720
on a stage. Every comedian is to some degree trap
192
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.440
by what their audience has come to expect, asked Jim Carrey.
193
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.960
But the podcast comedian who's invited into listeners' homes, cars,
194
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.360
and ear canals for multiple hours each week is especially
195
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.519
likely to evoke a sensation of familiarity as people he
196
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:04.159
has not met. These people may not want their imaginary
197
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.519
French to change. Good stuff. Leslie Jones her new specials
198
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.519
out today on Peacock. It is called Leslie Jones Life
199
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.360
Part Two. Leslie Jones tackles aging relationships, fame, and life's
200
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.399
unexpected to us with a kind of honesty and fire.
201
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.039
Only Leslie Jones can.
202
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:30.320
Bring comedy stock marketine.
203
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.840
Thank you, Bert Reynolds. Every Friday we take a look
204
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.639
at some comedians and we talk about buying proverbial stock
205
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.399
in their careers. We try and sell high, we try
206
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.559
and buy low. To the point, I'm tempted to buy
207
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.919
some of the comedians who appeared at the Riod Comedy Festival,
208
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.080
but on principle I will not. All right, some recommendations
209
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.320
this week, let's buy Stavrel's hockey has I mean, you
210
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.159
got to see the length of this profile in the
211
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.919
New York Times. This is a major, major thing and
212
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.960
that doesn't just to happen, Which makes me think, as
213
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.519
I said earlier in the show, Hollywood decides somebody's going
214
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.879
to have a moment, Nikki Glazer, Rachel Sinnott. Somebody's pushing Stavros,
215
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.440
so let's keep an eye on that. I bet we
216
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.080
see a lot of Stavros press now. Will buy Stavros
217
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.320
Hockey as before his stock is expensive. Let's sell Joe Rogan.
218
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.440
Not that the Joe Rogan articles have been pretty positive
219
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.639
this year, but they're increasingly negative, and Joe is getting
220
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.320
increasingly dragged into the political rabbit hole, and I don't
221
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.039
think that's a place he wants to stay. Let's sell
222
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.279
our word Joe Rogan stock, and let's start to accumulate
223
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.759
some more Sandler. The buzz on this Ja Kelly thing
224
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.000
is really good, and he is, of course a great
225
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.960
dramatic actor. Why would you not want to support that.
226
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.720
Let's buy some Adam Sandler. That's your comedy stock market
227
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.240
for this week. Out today an audio album. I always
228
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.279
like that. It's Luke Haiggees have that also Outsiday on
229
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.320
audio mal Halls. What are we doing today? Becky Robinson
230
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.000
will self release her debut stand up special. It is
231
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.279
called Becky Robinson entitled It'll be on her website today
232
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.080
in this hour Becky Robinson dives into the chaos of
233
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.679
coming out as a lesbian during the pandemic, the pitfalls
234
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.600
of being way too friendly as an adult in her
235
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.159
unapologetic love for Taco Bill. But that night wouldn't be
236
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.159
complete without an appearance from her character, the entitled Housewife.
237
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.600
There's not just a Special. Becky Robinson will release a
238
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.399
thirty minute documentary offering a behind the scenes look at
239
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.440
its creation. From The Japanese Times, your home for comedy news,
