00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.480
Hi, I'm actually recording this after
to let you know. I'm very aware

2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.119
I don't have even my half assed
Jerry Seinfeld today, as we will uncover

3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.119
as you listen to today's podcast,
I realize the pollen in my backyard got

4
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.440
to me. I have no voice, and I was trying to do half

5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.000
assed Jerry, which is already not
the best Jerry impression to begin with,

6
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.399
but it's half assed Jerry. And
I'm aware I didn't even do a good

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:36.320
half assed Jerry today. Are you
intrigued? Let's listen Caalaroga Shark Media very

8
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.640
home. I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily comedy and he was Apparently Jerry Seinfeld

9
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:44.280
did not enjoy not being the lead
story on this podcast because he's back baby.

10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.960
Apparently Jerry got choked up on Tuesday
while recalling his trip to Israel after

11
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.079
October seventh. He was on Honestly
with Barry Weiss. They covered a wide

12
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.920
range of topics that got picked up
all over the place. Let's recap.

13
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.479
Jerry said that he often tells the
audience that he loves that young people are

14
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.799
trying to get engaged with politics,
but their aim needs to be corrected.

15
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.680
So silly. It's like, you
know, they want to express this in

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.040
here intense rage, but again a
little off target. Jerry called his visit

17
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.480
to Israel the most powerful experience of
his life. Weise said, really,

18
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.879
Jerry quietly said sure. Yeah.
He was asked why Jerry pauses for a

19
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.599
long moment, you know, you
just you know. Weiss asked, are

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.359
you thinking of someone in particular?
Jerry nodded, rubbed his nose, pulled

21
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.640
out a handkerchief, sniffled, and
said sorry. In a different section,

22
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.799
he talked about the protesters and told
Barry, I love these young people.

23
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.519
They're trying to get engaged with politics. We just have to correct their aim

24
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.959
a little bit. They don't seem
to understand that as comedians we really don't

25
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.560
control anything. It's like they want
to express this in here intense range,

26
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.719
but again a little off target.
So that to me comedic. Seinfeld then

27
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.079
compared both political parties to mobs.
They're mobs believe in their own crab right,

28
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.439
that's what a political party is.
We're gonna make up a bunch of

29
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.640
nonsense. We all agree to it. Let's print up some bumper stickers and

30
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.519
get out there, kids. That's
politics. We're tribal animals. We're social

31
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.159
creatures. We look for agreement and
consensus. I'm aware I don't even have

32
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:14.080
my good half assed Jerry Seinfeld today. I'm at about third ass today.

33
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.759
I hear it. I'm trying.
I wasn't even planning on recording this one.

34
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.879
I had one that I'm gonna use
tomorrow. My schedules a little busy

35
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.919
this week. I wasn't even planning
on doing this one. Then I saw

36
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.280
the Jerry story. We're tribal animals, we're social creatures. We look for

37
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.080
argument consensus. We're driven by agreement
and consensus. And my rule be gives

38
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.240
us a comfort, gives a certainty. It's all ps. Another section,

39
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.599
Jerry goes as a man. Weiss
cuts in and goes, are you sure

40
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.360
you were? I did not hear
pronouns. I always wanted to be a

41
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.840
real man, but I never made
it. And that hour was Jfko,

42
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.360
was Muhammad Ali, was Sean Connery, Howard Cosell. That's a real man.

43
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.639
I want to be like that someday. No, look at how I

44
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.159
dress like an eight year old.
I never really grow up. You don't

45
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.120
want to as a comedian. It's
a child just pursuit. But I misdominant

46
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.879
masculinity. I like a real man. That's why I love you. Grant.

47
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:01.719
He felt like one of those guys
I wanted to be. He knows

48
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.120
how to dress, he knows how
to talk, He's charming, he has

49
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.000
stories, He's comfortable at dinner parties, knows how to get a drink.

50
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.039
That stuff. Never mind, Jerry
Seichfeld, I don't even have my own

51
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.680
voice today. Excuse me. Weiss
asked, do you think punching down is

52
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.800
the thing? Like? Is that
a real phenomenon? No, I don't.

53
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.560
Comedy's extraordinary, simple, binary outcome
event. It's funny or it is

54
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.360
it? I nobody cares really about
anything else. They talk. It's a

55
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.439
lot of talk. What we really
ate is when someone does something that's not

56
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.199
so funny. We didn't laugh,
and now I'm going to criticize it because

57
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.240
it didn't make me laugh. I
really wish I had make good Jerry today.

58
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.280
That was good stuff. I just
don't have it. I apologize.

59
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.400
Oh wait, there's more reviews of
them frosted. The only reviews I want

60
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.280
to read are the absolute worst reviews
at the movie received, because there's nothing

61
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.360
funnier to me than people complaining that
I didn't laugh because they want to laugh.

62
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.919
If you're built right as a stand
of comic, you don't give a

63
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.479
flying dot dot dot. I'm doing
this gig and getting my laughs, getting

64
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:54.439
the money. I'm getting the hell
out of here, and then your review

65
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.039
comes out and I'm in another city
doing the same thing. There isn't no

66
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.479
one opinion has any value. Comedians
on group think. Whatever the group thinks,

67
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.680
that's the vote. We don't have
to take a vote. That vote's

68
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.840
been taken on that joke. You
can hate it. It's still a great

69
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.599
joke because the laugh is still there. Dave Chappelle was playing Canyon tonight.

70
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.520
The Sudden Show was announced less than
forty eight hours before. The gig caught

71
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.519
many Kenyans by surprise, with many
expressing regret it not being able to attempt

72
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.240
the Icon's maiden performance at the Lewis
Leaky Auditorium due to the abrupt ticketing.

73
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:28.279
Tickets were going for seven thousand local
currency units. A source told The Nairobi

74
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.040
News. The small and intimate venue, I almost read it as Jerry.

75
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.160
The small and innimate venue was a
condition set by day. He even wanted

76
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.000
it to be a smaller audience of
a hundreds, so even three hundred was

77
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:43.920
a push. It's funny, I
U Nairobi news source sounds more like Jerry

78
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.000
than my Cherry did. I'm awful
today. I'm trying a local comedian.

79
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.519
Sea Room Wangi said, I will
be one of two opening acts for Dave

80
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.839
Chappelle. Even my wildest dreams,
I had not seen this. The other

81
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.680
opener, Lusavalli added as a comic, this isn't even in your wildest streams.

82
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.560
But this Wednesday, I'm open for
Dave Chappelle and Nairobi, Kenya believe

83
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.360
the hype cause that dot Com spoke
to Josh Blue, who's a really cool

84
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.000
dude. I met him. It's
got to be over a decade now,

85
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.199
but he was really cool. His
girlfriend is experiencing unusual vision problems. Josh

86
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.720
said, we try to figure out
what it was, and it evolved and

87
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.120
now the bit is, oh,
my vision is getting worse than a can't

88
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.360
pinpoint when it started. But shortly
after the solar eclipse, he says,

89
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:26.240
Jokes can come out of anything.
My girlfriend going blind should not be funny.

90
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.600
Newsweek published I'll call it a garbage
article, but I need one more

91
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.079
story today. The headline Joe Rogan
slams his producer during podcast Oh No,

92
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:39.279
What could have possibly happened? Newsweek
tells this. Joe's there. He's talking

93
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.639
to two guests and they're about fifty
minutes in. The guests are talking about

94
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.720
the possibility of artificial intelligence detecting human
suffering. Rogan then cut into a complaint

95
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.839
to produc her young Jamie. Rogan
said, you know what I'm suffering,

96
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.639
Jamie. This coffee sucks. I
don't know what happened, but you made

97
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.319
it. It's literally like almost like
water. Can we get some more?

98
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.680
Rogan then poured the contents out of
his mug, told this guests, We're

99
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.920
gonna talk about this after I'm caffeinated
up. This is the worst coffee I've

100
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.879
ever had. It's like half strength
or something. I don't know what happened.

101
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.240
This is Newsweek. I'm sourcing Newsweek. This is an article in Newsweek.

102
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.680
Who tell us that the trio then
settled back into the conversation. However,

103
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.199
ten minutes later, Rogan said,
Jamie, this is still super watered

104
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.120
down. Jamie said he had just
put water in and advised Joe Rogan to

105
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.759
let the coffee sit for a second, Rogan said, I'm telling you dog.

106
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.920
Jamie said, there's a ton of
coffee in there. Rogan said,

107
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.079
all right, I'll stir it up. I we'll figure it out. Some

108
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.639
TV fore to watch. I'm catching
up on the new season of Hacks,

109
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:40.680
really digging it so far. I
think I'm three episodes in. I'm up

110
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.000
to the one that is about late
Night. That's all you need to know

111
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.680
about that one. I wanted to
watch tires. I logged into Netflix,

112
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.920
where I tried to log in in
Netflix. The entire family was home and

113
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.399
Netflix was like, too many people
logged in. Sucks to be you.

114
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.279
So I went back to watching Hacks. Let's check in with Jim Gaffigan,

115
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.079
who you could just hear all the
coolness and you know, he wasn't exactly

116
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.240
the funds, but all the coolness
just sucking out of him every time he

117
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.879
promotes this bourbon. He was on
with Rich Ice and let's listen. So

118
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:14.879
this is father Time Bourbon, Father
Time Bourbon. And by the way,

119
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.839
each you know, like Burt by
the way, Burton Tom's vodka, everyone

120
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.040
should buy that. But this is
a different thing. This is a limited

121
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:28.000
batch. This is I was approached
to do a celebrity spirit a couple of

122
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.399
times. Uh huh, and I
was like, I was worried because sometimes

123
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.160
the celebrity spirits aren't good. And
I also didn't want it to appear like

124
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.480
a cash grab. Yeah, we
don't want to make it seem like a

125
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.040
cash grab, Jim. We don't
want that to happen. That would be

126
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.720
terrible if anybody got that impression.
And so I called a friend after the

127
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.399
last time I was pitched, and
I was like, from Louisville, from

128
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:55.199
college, and I was like,
can't we just buy a couple of barrels

129
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.399
and do our own? He goes, yeah, we could. I mean,

130
00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.959
it might be a pain in the
ass and you might lose money,

131
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.519
though we can do it. I
ninety five ask comedian Greg Stone about his

132
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.879
opinion on the totally non existent pizza
war. DJ Dave said, you're originally

133
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.399
from New Jersey, you live in
Queens, and you work in Connecticut.

134
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.120
We here in Connecticut had a congressional
delegation from New Haven right now down in

135
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.959
DC trying to say that Connecticut makes
the best pizza the United States have You

136
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.720
had the New York and you fire
up over this debate. I can't even

137
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.040
speak. I'm realizing, right before
I did this first world problem, I

138
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.439
was cleaning pollen off the pool.
That's what's going on here. All right,

139
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.959
this is a mess today. I
get it, okay. Greg Stone

140
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.440
is responding to who has the best
pizza. Greg says, I'm gonna not

141
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.960
be funny here. I'm gonna be
very serious. This is what makes me

142
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.360
furious. The best pizza is such
a dumb thing. Everything has to be

143
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.120
a competition. Everything exists, and
it's amazing. New York pizza is unbelievable.

144
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.080
People will crap on Chicago, Connecticut
is unbelievable pizza. My favorite place

145
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.240
is this spot called Bar. They
have this mashed potato pie in New Haven.

146
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.720
Unbelievable. But they don't have to
fight. It doesn't have to fight

147
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.399
a deep dish. I had this
conversation the other night with Glenn when we

148
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.000
went to the Rolling Stone's concert.
We were talking about this exact thing.

149
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.600
Chicago pizza awesome, New York City
pizza awesome. They're not at all the

150
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.519
same thing. We can enjoy both. Greg Stone says, it doesn't have

151
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.120
to fight. Known as in Queen's
which is one of my favorite pizzas known

152
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.200
as nineteen seventy seven. I'd put
it against almost anything. It's all great,

153
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.759
and I think we should stop fighting
and we should come together and just

154
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.159
be a pizza family. And that, because I'm losing my voice, is

155
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.960
your comedy news for today, all
right. I feel bad that there was

156
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.679
probably a better version of this podcast
to be done today, but I didn't

157
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.320
even have my half assed Jerry sucks, all right, See tomorrow.
