00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.199
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack who with your daily

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.800
comedy news. Seth Meyers joked about last week's Foxtown Hall,

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.239
during which Donald Trump criticized George Stephanopolis said his interview

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.760
with President Biden was the softest interview I've ever seen.

5
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.760
Seth said, you're gonna say that while you're being interviewed

6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.079
by Sean Hannity. I asked tougher questions when John Oliver's here.

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.000
Trump told Hannity that he couldn't imagine anyone in New

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.960
Hampshire voting for Joe Biden. Set said, Yeah, I can't

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.600
imagine anyone in New Hampshire voting for Biden. You know why,

10
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.479
because he's not on the ballot anymore. I made an

11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.640
executive decision yesterday. I did Part one of Vulture's Comedians

12
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.399
to watch the List. I'm gonna do Part two next Sunday,

13
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.039
so we'll do a normal episode today. A lot of

14
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.439
news as September continues to be busy. The New York

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.679
Comedy Festival and the Bob Woodruff Foundation announced the lineup

16
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.079
for their annual Stand Up for Heroes benefit. This year,

17
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.920
It's on November eleventh. Your lineup it's you know, both

18
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.399
a really good lineup and somehow feels like a step

19
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.000
down from past years. But here's the lineup, Jim gaff Again,

20
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.760
Nora Jones, Mark Norman, did quest Love, Batty Scalfas, Jerry

21
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.959
seinfeldt Bruce Springsteen, John Stewart and Moore. So if I

22
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.920
just take the headliners there, it's you know, Springsteen, John Stewart,

23
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.519
gaff Again and Seinfeld with Mark Norman batting fifth. So

24
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.239
Johnny Mack, I don't know what the heck you want

25
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.200
these people to put out there. But I don't know.

26
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.959
It just seems like there were more people on the

27
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.040
list in previous years. I might be making that up,

28
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.680
but Gaffigan, nor Jones, Mark Norman pretty good list. Will

29
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.840
keep an eye on that one. The Daily Mail reports

30
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.319
a scary scene transpired during Chris to Leah's a stand

31
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.680
up show. A man sitting in the front row seemingly

32
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.879
suffered a seizure. As the report goes, instead of stopping

33
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.680
the show, Chris continued with the show by reacting to

34
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.879
the situation. Chris did a thirteen minute bit where he

35
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.120
ranted about what he had just witnessed, and a question

36
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.719
and an answer session about the man's condition. So apparently,

37
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.840
the man's head slowly began to fall as the seizure started.

38
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.040
He fell forward and then backward in his chair. Someone

39
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.159
next to him caught him. Delia stopped the show to

40
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.480
ask if he was open. After a few moments, when

41
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.959
it appeared the man was all right, crystal Leia asked,

42
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.840
you're right, bro, Yeah, round of applause for a guy

43
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.479
who almost died. You are right, y'all? Good? Is that

44
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.919
something that happens? The man confirmed he was okay. Deliah

45
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.199
then realized that the man was not okay and began

46
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.680
to seize again. Chris said, no, no, he's not okay.

47
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.319
We should call in an ambulance somebody. A couple guys

48
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.759
then carry the man away from the seating area to

49
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.520
give him metal attention. Crystallia says a round of applause,

50
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.919
let's do the show, let's walk with him, and then

51
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.800
transitions back to comedy and jokes. WHOA, that's crazy. I

52
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.319
guess that Pride month bit really hit him hard. That's

53
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.520
when I fan yelled out too soon. Chris said, too soon?

54
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.439
It happened now during the comedy show. What do you

55
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.000
mean too soon? What am I supposed to do a

56
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.520
monologue from a Tennessee Williams play. It's a comedy club.

57
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.280
This stuff happened in the front row. Didn't happen back there.

58
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.560
You guys are like, be cool, dude, Well f you, dude.

59
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.599
You know how hard this stuff is right now? The

60
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.879
guy almost died when he Cummings spoke to the Dallas Observer.

61
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.800
She has often talked about the bedroom in her comedy,

62
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.560
and now so that she's a mom, she says there's

63
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.439
a whole new world of topics she wants to share

64
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.719
with her audiences, and if that means there's less sex

65
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.879
chat in the mix, that's fine with her. Whitney says,

66
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.000
I've spent so much time talking about dating and sex,

67
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.039
which was surprising at the time, but now that's all

68
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.319
you see on the internet. The most shocking thing you

69
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.120
could be is a little wholesome and talk about things

70
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.319
that are more simple observations. My goals for people to

71
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.759
sit in theater of two hundred people and we all

72
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.000
laugh at the same things. Comedy is supposed to be

73
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.319
a unifying thing. I took a while to have a kid,

74
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:28.919
and I'm glad it took a while. They called it

75
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.879
geriatric pregnancy, which is insane. But I think having a

76
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.400
kid older is better. I think my brain just started

77
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.520
functioning properly. Like if I had a baby one year sooner,

78
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.599
I'd probably have sold it for tickets to Taylor Swift.

79
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.280
Taylor Swift's name comes up a lot in this podcast.

80
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.639
The way it changes to you is pretty magical, and

81
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.599
I think about how it changed me and how it's

82
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.680
changed the way I see the world. The thing is,

83
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.439
as a comedian, you're always looking for a way to

84
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.599
turn something on its head, to show people something that

85
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.560
they see every day and take for granted. It took

86
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.360
a long time to make sure I was breaking these

87
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.919
ancestral cycles. If my child is born a comedian, I failed.

88
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.800
When you have a kid, all the stuff comes back,

89
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.639
like putting him in the high chair. My eyechair was

90
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.840
basically scaffolding. I drank out of the hose until I

91
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.280
was fourteen. There are pictures of me and Drawers as

92
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.400
a baby. We're all doing a little better than we think,

93
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.120
and it's part of a comics job to make people

94
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.680
leave with a little perspective and context. I get that

95
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.000
phones are bad for kids, but we played on seesaws

96
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.120
that it's a miracle that any of us survived. I

97
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.519
was trying to strap my baby in the back of

98
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.040
the car and I had a flashback of being the

99
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.240
back of a pickup truck when a lawn chair. Jim

100
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.959
Jeffries gets the cover of Rolling Stone. But it's the

101
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.040
cover of Rolling Stone Australia and New Zealand. Doesn't mean

102
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.040
it's lesser. I'm just telling you you might not be

103
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.600
able to buy it in Los Angeles. Who knows, maybe

104
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.560
you can. Maybe does international newstand with New Zealand Rolling Stone.

105
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.800
I don't know why did I fall into this hole?

106
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.839
Move on? Jim Jeffrey said, my mother was a hard

107
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.920
person to grow up with. She was a very hard woman.

108
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.800
She was physically and verbally very abusive. So sometimes I

109
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.839
mentioned I've had a chip on my shoulder about women.

110
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.600
Jim says, I'm very interested in doing as many different

111
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.319
things as entertainment as possible. I like a challenge, I

112
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.160
like doing something new. I don't know if they're there's

113
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.240
a stand up comic from Australia who's had a more

114
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.240
diverse career, you know what I mean. I think of

115
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.240
myself like an entertainer more than a comedian Jay Farrow

116
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.399
has announced a new special. This one will be on

117
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.360
YouTube on September twenty second. He also released a trailer.

118
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.600
I pulled the audio from the trailer, but it's just

119
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.519
it's too quickly edited and a lot of bleeps where

120
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.480
the swear words go. It just wasn't gonna make sense

121
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.839
for the podcast. In his new hour, and I haven't

122
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.279
seen a title for it yet, Jay Farrow rips the

123
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.920
lid off pop culture, talks about a suburban upbringing and

124
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.439
a run in with the law. Taped at the Den

125
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.680
Theater in Chicago. My former coworker Jamie Fox is getting

126
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.399
ready to hit the comedy stage. He'll be in Atlanta

127
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.600
October third through Sunday October fifth. It is called One

128
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.040
More Chance, An Evening with Jamie Fox. In an Instagram post,

129
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.120
Fox posted an image of a black box featuring the

130
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.279
words what had happened was? Then the log line Join

131
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.639
us for an unforgettable one man show as Jamie Fox

132
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.759
takes the stage to share his journey through a serious

133
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.000
health scare filled with humor, heart and inspiration. Experienced Jamie

134
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.959
Fox like never before. This intimate and gaging performance as

135
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.439
he opens up about his struggles, triumphs and everything in between.

136
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.759
Get ready for a night of laughter, reflection, and genuine connection.

137
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.000
I'm curious to see what he says here. You know,

138
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.519
I spent some time inside that camp, and I personally

139
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.279
found it very surprising that nobody was able to just

140
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.680
get a picture of I don't know, Jamie sitting poolside

141
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.639
looking cool, giving a thumbs up. It was very interesting

142
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.600
to me that there was like nothing for a while.

143
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.680
I hope he's doing okay, he's a good guy, and

144
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.879
I've done that this next story already, but I took

145
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:30.959
a second look at it, and I have some comments.

146
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.920
I told you Jermaine Feller will join Tracy Morgan on

147
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.399
the comedy series Crutch. Now let's break this down again.

148
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.879
I didn't pay enough attention the first time. That's on me. Okay.

149
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.920
Tracy Morgan plays Crutch, a brash yet beloved Harlem shop

150
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.480
owner whose world has turned upside down when his highbrows

151
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.439
son and free spirited daughter moved back into the family home. Okay,

152
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.639
so we've got an old curmudgeonty guy whose hippie daughter

153
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.680
moves home with her ivy league husband. Isn't that just

154
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.160
all the family from late night or this one caught

155
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.439
me by surprise. Sarah Sherman did two days on General Hospital.

156
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:12.160
What Sure? She played Miss Robin Finch. Apparently her character

157
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:16.360
criticized Olivia for the way she pronounces croissant. Finch introduces

158
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.319
herself as a dialect theorist and tutor to the stars,

159
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.439
claiming she once coached Meryl Streep's daughters. This once, Lois

160
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.519
says she never hired a tutor, Tracy confesses that no,

161
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.800
I did hire miss Finch. Tracy explains, Lois is my employee.

162
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.199
Our sales are directly linked to her presentation. I believe

163
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.560
that her numbers will improve if Lois's rough edges are

164
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.680
smoothed out. Sarah Sherman said, I was so nervous about

165
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.759
flubbing my lines because I was surrounded by pros and

166
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.279
memorized like a billion pages of dialogue a day. Very strange.

167
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.720
Dennis Leary, He's got a sitcom Going Dutch. I've told

168
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.040
you about this one. There's no way this is good.

169
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.079
Going Dutch follows an arrogant, loudmouth US Army colonel played

170
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.920
by Dennis Leary, who, after an epically unfiltered rant, is

171
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.879
reassigned to the Netherlands, where he's punished the command position

172
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.759
at the least important army base in the world the

173
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.680
log line. After serving with distinction in every war zone

174
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.439
of the last three decades, he now finds himself in

175
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.399
charge of a base with no guns, no weapons, and

176
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.079
no tactical purpose. Instead, it as a Michelin star level commissary,

177
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.680
top notch bowling alley, and the best and only from

178
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.519
Majeray in the US Army. Surrounded by a diverse group

179
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.959
of underdogs, the colonel tries to reinstall military discipline and

180
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.879
professionalism with the help of the basis previous interim leader

181
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.199
who just happens to be as a strange daughter. So

182
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.279
why am I bringing this back up? Deadline reports. Danny

183
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.240
Putty will play the role of XO Major Abraham Shaw,

184
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.799
the colonel's executive officer and right hand man. So I'm

185
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.080
just trying to picture this show, right. So it's sixty

186
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.240
seven year old Dennis Leary playing an army colonel. He's

187
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.440
sixty seven. I imagine it's Dennis Leary doing Dennis Leary things.

188
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.200
So he's going to do some slow burn about a

189
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.600
back of my day. We had guns man and then

190
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.080
Danny Putty is going to say something wacky millennial, and

191
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.840
then the laugh track's gonna play. There's no way that's

192
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.720
going to be good. And I like Danny a lot.

193
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.799
There's just no way that this show's good. South Park

194
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.919
will return in twenty twenty five. Trey Parker and Matt

195
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.279
Stone has said they don't want to deal with the election.

196
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.759
They told Vanity Fair, we tried to do South Park

197
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.879
through four or five presidential elections and it's such a

198
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.200
hard thing to do. It's a mind scramble, and it

199
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.159
seems like it takes outsized importance. Trey said, obviously it's important,

200
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:23.879
but it kind of takes over everything. We just have

201
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.960
less fun. I don't know what more we could possibly

202
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.639
say about Trump. They said. Not returning until next year's

203
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.039
on purpose. They also want to wait for Paramount to

204
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.720
figure all their crap out. The last regular episode of

205
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.519
south Park season twenty six aired March twenty ninth, twenty

206
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.799
twenty three. Since then, we've had the amazing south Park

207
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.600
joining the Pandaverse special that came out October of twenty

208
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.120
twenty three. Then we got a second special in December

209
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.759
of that year. South Park not suitable for children, which

210
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.960
parodied oldly fans and the most reason one May of

211
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.159
this year, South Park the End of Obesity, made fun

212
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.799
of Ozampic and I'll leave you on this poignant note

213
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.000
from Billy Connolly, who said I used to think about

214
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.320
death and about the life I led, and would ask myself,

215
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:04.320
how will I be held responsible for it when I

216
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.720
come to judgment? For God, I don't believe that anymore,

217
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.360
although the whole thing's still a mystery to me. Billy

218
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.519
is eighty one. He says he no longer fears the

219
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.759
prospect of death, and he's found peace with his Parkinson's diagnosis.

220
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.240
He told the Scottish son, with something as big as that,

221
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.039
you just confront it and stick to the front of it,

222
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.000
be with it, and make decisions based on it. And

223
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.679
I don't think you'd been badly treated. And I don't

224
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.240
think he got the bad pick of the straws. It's

225
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.240
not like that. You're one of millions. Just behave yourself, relax.

226
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.080
You realize that death isn't the big thing everybody's made

227
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.480
it out to be. It's nothing. It's a sudden nothing.

228
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.679
Wait to leave us on an up note, Johnny Mack,

229
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.320
you're welcome, and that's your comedy news for today, See

230
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:37.799
you tomorrow.
