1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.119
Callaroga Shark Media, Heidlee Ho,
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:16.679
Bourbon entrepreneur Jim Gaffigan tweet did catch
me and this all star lineup with

3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.839
the Hollywood bol May first and second
part of the Netflix as a joke festival

4
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:25.199
in the image which looks a little
rat packy Nate Bergatsy, Sebastian Maniscalco,

5
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.800
Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan. We're
gonna be hearing a lot from Jerry in

6
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.479
the upcoming weeks as he's got this
Pop Tarts movie coming out. GQ did

7
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.560
a profile of Jerry I'll pick a
way at over the next few days.

8
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.439
Jerry talked about the Curb finale and
he said, as I drove home that

9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.399
night, my scalp was just tingling. I thought what we had done was

10
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:46.000
just the coolest, wildest, most
remarkable thing. Says, it's the callback

11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.759
to end all callbacks. When you
have that joke that was set up twenty

12
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.679
five years ago and then paid off
twenty five years later, how do you

13
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:56.560
even describe something like that, I'll
describe it. It was okay, Sorry,

14
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.719
Jerry switching to Pop Tarts. GQ
had a bunch of questions for Jerry,

15
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.920
and I'll bust out. I haven't
done this in a while. Half

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.359
ass angry Jerry Seinfeld impression. GQ
asked, what's so funny about breakfast everything?

17
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.719
I love the great dumbness of life, GQ. There's dumbness everywhere.

18
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.680
Why do you keep returning to this
corner of it? There is dumbness everywhere?

19
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.439
But I really do love Cereal.
I love the witness and the crudginess.

20
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.159
I love spots. I love balls. When I was saying, oh

21
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.400
my ketch it out, keep a
ball the spode and my friends would laugh,

22
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.719
why we take it out of the
ball. That's where it's going GQ.

23
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.640
Larry David told me that it was
because there's a K in breakfast.

24
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.480
Jerry says, everybody knows that K
is the funniest letter. Gary Coleman said

25
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.319
that recently. Jerry said, oh
yeah, everybody knows. Kay. Or

26
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.920
see, it's the sound when you're
trying to get people's attention in a crowded

27
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.879
nightclub, they can hear K.
All right, Jerry? Why a movie

28
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.400
because they wouldn't put me in mad
Men. I love that kind of comedy.

29
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.879
I love office comedies. I love
stupid people in suits, and it

30
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:47.959
was COVID. I had nothing to
do, so I got talked into it.

31
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.879
It wasn't my idea. Seinfeld wasn't
my idea either. I kept getting

32
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.359
dragged into things and surrounded by the
most amazing people. These movie people are

33
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.680
unbelievable. They're insane. Like we
had a prop master. She had a

34
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.719
room and it was Florida ceiling toys
and bikes and clothes from that era.

35
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.480
Everybody does their job one hundred fifty
percent. It's weird. Jerry's getting some

36
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.319
pickup from this interview his comments on
the movie business industry. Jerry said,

37
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.680
they're so dead serious. They don't
have any idea that the movie business is

38
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.159
over. They have no idea that
is making the trades. Jerry says film

39
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.960
does not occupy the pinnacle and the
social cultural hierarchy that it did for most

40
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.840
of our lives. When a movie
came out, if it was good,

41
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:24.719
we all went to see it,
We all discussed it, We quoted lines

42
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.800
and scenes we liked. Now we're
walking through a fire hose of water just

43
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.759
trying to see Disorientation replaced the movie
business. Everyone I know in show business

44
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.599
every day is going, what's going
on? How do you do this?

45
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.400
What are we supposed to do?
Now? I've done enough stuff that I

46
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.960
have my own thing, which is
more valuable than it's ever been. Stand

47
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.800
up is like you're a cabinet maker
and everybody needs a guy who's good with

48
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.280
wood. There's trees everywhere, but
to make a nice table, it's not

49
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.639
so easy. So the metaphor is, if you have good craft and craftsmanship,

50
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.719
you're kind of impervious to the whims
of the industry. Audienceers are now

51
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.280
flocking a stand up because it's something
you can't fake. It's like platform diving.

52
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.879
You could say you're a platform diver, but in two seconds we can

53
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.439
see if you are or you aren't. So that's interesting. Later in this

54
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.919
segment, I'm going to play a
clip from Rogan, So just remember what

55
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.680
Jerry just said there because it's gonna
be relevant later. Jerry said, that's

56
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.280
what people like about stand up.
They can trust it. Everything else is

57
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.240
fake. Unfrosted. I can't remember
that. I keep calling it pop towards

58
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:20.120
movie unfrosted, Netflix, May third, random stray thought, just I threw

59
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.360
it here in my script, Helper, Remember Conan O'Brien just dropped a travel

60
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.439
show on HBO Max Max, HBO
Max. Did that have any impact on

61
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.159
popular culture at all? Other than
a few days before there were a ton

62
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.879
of Conan articles, But like,
did anyone watch it? Is anyone talking

63
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.319
about it? It just kind of
came and went and happened. And remember

64
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.840
when Conan gave up the TBS show, was like, Oh, he's gonna

65
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.960
have a show on HBO, and
we were waiting years for it. It

66
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.080
just kind of happened. Does anyone
care? Gabe Iglesias has inked a two

67
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.240
stand up deal with Netflix. The
first we'll tape at the Hard Rock in

68
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.360
Hollywood, Florida in July twelfth through
the fourteenth. No dates on those.

69
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.319
The eight hundred Padungerilla had a bunch
of people at Moon Tower and they reviewed

70
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.360
a few shows, and I thought
i'd share what they said. As for

71
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.120
Shane Gillis, they said he's handling
the transition into being an arena comic with

72
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.800
certain ease on stage. You talked
about what goes into picking an intro song,

73
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.360
why he should be a high school
football coach. We've heard him do

74
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:20.519
that before. Accidentally sending nude Snapchat
photos different topic when you stop being friends

75
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.639
with your mom and opening a down
syndrome coffee shop, as well as a

76
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.959
joke that Lorne Michaels woudn't let him
tell. In his monologue Eight hundred Pound

77
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.120
Gorilla writes, if there's an earnestness
to gill Us on stage, there's anything,

78
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.800
but when it comes to Martin or
Bono, if you've never seen Orbono

79
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.160
stand up before, it's far easier
to explain by recommending you watch a few

80
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.879
clips first. By design, Orbano's
act consists of a persona that doesn't necessarily

81
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.920
translate well into reading. Oh,
I'm sure my third hand recap of this

82
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.199
show is going to really convey what
he does. That's because the beauty of

83
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.199
what he does is in the delivery, as he satirizes the brogue culture,

84
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.120
misogyny, and much more that you
need to witness in order to fully grasp

85
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.639
what he's doing. So even if
I play you audio, I guess we

86
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.439
have to go. So see Martin
o'brano. They also went to see Burbiglia.

87
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.399
Barbiglia has that gift as a storyteller
to keep you truly invested from start

88
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.920
to finish. So much that it
doesn't feel like it's been a full hour

89
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.319
by the time he's done. It's
effortless. That was precisely the vibe we

90
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.519
got from his show last weekend.
The show was completely sold out, comprised

91
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.920
of his large fan base, some
of whom had told me they've seen him

92
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.120
many times before. Some of the
topics for Biggs did included what a different

93
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.319
time it is for parenting versus how
when he was raised. Okay, I

94
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.879
mean I heard that kind of material
at the bar every week, I hear

95
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.079
it in my car on the weekend. I see it on the internet.

96
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.839
Hopefully for Biggs did the good version
of that. That is not the most

97
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.040
original material. You know, back
in the seventies, we just all piled

98
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.680
into the station wagon and we didn't
have seat belts in the back seat.

99
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.959
Dad slammed the brakes and you went
fly to the glasses like you've heard that,

100
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.360
right, You've heard that bit,
But I don't know. For Bigs

101
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.319
probably did a good version of it. The emotion of being a parent,

102
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.720
realizing how little he actually knows,
balancing the calendar to make time for your

103
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.600
spouse, how the DARE program is
a double negative. We Dare You Not

104
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.720
to Do Drugs? And a parody
song he wrote in high school to the

105
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.199
tune of Bust to Move the title
to Bust Them Drugs. Andrew Santino is

106
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.439
going to get a pop this week. He's going on Travis Kelcey's New Heights

107
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.079
podcast. Santino shared a video on
his Instagram story where he's with Travis Kelcey.

108
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.680
You know, Travis Kelcey is dating
Taylor Swift Now. One time at

109
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.160
the Golden Globes, Joe Coy made
a joke about Taylor. But I'm not

110
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.519
playing it for you because you don't
appreciate recurring jokes. Santino discussed how he

111
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.920
came up with his Cheeto nickname.
We also learned from Santino how he came

112
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.120
up with the nickname Cheeto. All
right, here's that clip of Joe Rogan

113
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.319
that I mentioned yesterday. The guest
here is I've frozen his name. I

114
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.199
wanted to say Chris Tucker. It's
not Chris Tucker, it's Tucker Carlson,

115
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.839
two totally different people. Doesn't really
matter that Tucker's there, but that's the

116
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.560
other voice. You hear Joe Rogan
talking about joke thieves and then how Chris

117
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.399
Rock uses the writer's room, and
this will take you all the way to

118
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:54.399
the break. I think creativity is
in everybody. It's just a matter of

119
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.399
percent. It's in everybody. It
just requires honesty. Yeah, and any

120
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.279
impediment to creativity is line sure.
And yeah, I used to say that

121
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.040
about joke thieves, that one of
the real problems with joke thieves is when

122
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.480
they get caught and then they have
to write their own material. And the

123
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.360
problem is they don't understand the language. They just know how to say the

124
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.399
sounds. Like if you told me
what to say in French, I can't

125
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.879
speak French. But if you told
me what to say and I practice it

126
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.959
and I said it right, you
think, wow, that guy speaks French.

127
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.560
Yes, So that's what comedy's like. So if you got a guy

128
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.560
who knows how to repeat other people's
jokes, but he does know how to

129
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:33.120
create him. See, comedy is
one of the rare things where someone when

130
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.959
it, Like you get a guy
like Shane Gillis. That guy writes his

131
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.639
own stuff. He edits it it, he thinks it out in his head,

132
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.480
he performs it, he produces it. He changes the order of things

133
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.600
that it's a complete Everybody does it
pretty much the same way. There's a

134
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:54.720
few guys that hire writers, and
there's that's honorable. There's nothing wrong with

135
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.000
the hiring writer. And it's also
gives jobs to other comics, because some

136
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.360
comics are just really good writers and
then not so good at performing. And

137
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.120
so people will work on stuff,
they'll collaborate on stuff. Like Chris Rock

138
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.240
would do this thing where he would
hire comics and they didn't write the jokes

139
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.519
for him, but they would be
like guys. He would bounce stuff off,

140
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.879
so he would have his ideas,
he would go on stage, and

141
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.480
then after a set they would all
meet and they would talk about the set,

142
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.519
and you know, guys would have
taglines like you could say this,

143
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.079
oh great, and they write that
down they're adding. So it's a collaboration.

144
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.439
So you have the master. You
have Chris Rock, who is so

145
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.000
open minded and intelligent and humble that
he brings in other masters and says,

146
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.399
tell me what I'm doing wrong.
So the Webby Awards happened all of a

147
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.080
sudden. There was a press release
going, Hey, here's everybody who won

148
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.440
the Webby Awards, and I'm kind
of eye rolling this thing. Because you

149
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.720
have to pay to enter and they
give away so many awards it's like,

150
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.919
are you even really winning anything or
is it just you know? Best podcast?

151
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.879
Released by Johnny Mack on a Wednesday. The nominees are this episode and

152
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.600
last week's episode. Give us the
two hundred and fifty dollars so you can

153
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.080
be in our little thing. I'm
just gonna read comedy related ones and this

154
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.919
will give you an idea for how
many trillions might be an acassination trillions of

155
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.399
categories. There are the Webby Award
for Comedy, Comma show, parentheses,

156
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.799
podcasts, all right, comedy podcasts. What show do you think won the

157
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.200
Webby Award? You can guess for
the rest of the year, and you're

158
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.879
never gonna come up with us never
ever, ever. I've never even heard

159
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:30.919
of this show. And aside from
like I suck, I'll remind you I

160
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.240
work in podcasting. I'll remind you
that I've hosted the show for almost five

161
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.320
years now, and before that all
my time it's serious. But for the

162
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.240
last five years, every day I
google the words comedy and comedian and I

163
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.679
must suck because I've never heard of
The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and

164
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.600
Katya. Anyway, that won the
Webby Award for Best Comedy Show Podcasts.

165
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.559
The People's Voice Award for Comedy Comma
Shows Parentheses podcast went to ConA and O'Brien.

166
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.879
The Webby Award for Featured Guest comm
My Individual Episodes Parentheses Podcasts went to

167
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.559
kat Williams. Yeah, that was
pretty good. The Webby Award for Comedy

168
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:13.639
Comma Individual Episodes Podcasts went to Las
Culturistas, Ohen Yang Matt Rodgers. All

169
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.120
right, so that's already four things
that are like made up categories. Can

170
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.039
we just do like Best Comedy Podcasts
and be done with it? Saturday Night

171
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.639
Live won the Webby Award for Events
and Live Streams General Video. Parentheses Video

172
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.320
The Simpsons, Maggie Simpson and Rogue
not Quite One won the Webby Award for

173
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.000
Comedy Comma Branded Entertainment. Parentheses Video
twenty one spelled out and then twenty one

174
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.240
the numbers, so twenty one twenty
one, A black af scripted audio comedy,

175
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:45.320
won the Webby Award for Best Indie
Podcast. Limited Run Comma Features Parentheses

176
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.840
Podcasts. You Excited? John Stewart
brought out his fastball on Monday I'm sure

177
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.440
it's a combination of he feels passionate
about this and the numbers it down a

178
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.080
little bit. But he took a
shot at the rest of the media a

179
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.559
segment called ark is Most Tremendously Wanted. John Stewart said that the current trial

180
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.600
of Donald Trump will obviously be a
test to the fairness of the American legal

181
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.159
system, but it's also a test
of the media's ability to cover Donald Trump

182
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.840
in a responsible way, a task
they have acknowledged that they've performed poorly in

183
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.840
the past. He then played some
clips from people on CNN and MSNBC.

184
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.360
He then mocked them and said,
so brave, well done. Stuart said,

185
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.039
perhaps if we limit the coverage to
the issues at hand and try not

186
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.639
to create an all encompassing spectacle of
the most banal of details, perhaps that

187
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.039
would help. Then he played some
clips of cable news showing Trump arriving and

188
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.679
leaving court each day. John said, seriously, we're going to follow this

189
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.759
guy to court every day? Are
you trying to make this O? J

190
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.159
Simpson, It's not a chase he's
commuting. So the media's first attempt,

191
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.639
the very first attempt on the first
day of the trial, it's self control.

192
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.240
It failed. Here at the Basement
Podcast Company, we've actually ramped up

193
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.159
the ballot podcasts. We figure John
Stewart's gonna get mad at us, but

194
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:56.240
we figured, hm, Trump plus
porn star plus trial probably some good comedy

195
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.000
there. So we're going to be
putting out episodes daily for a little bit

196
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.759
ballot to get your shows. Sydney
Comedy Festival begins. I know you're like,

197
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.440
John, you never talk about Australian
comedy. Well, we got another

198
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.960
festival. My takeaway here so unlike
the Melbourne Festival, where every day I

199
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.559
clicked on the website and I was
like, oh, this thing hasn't loaded

200
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.759
yet. Today I actually prepared.
I pulled three days worth of clips for

201
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.399
myself, so I have my act
together today and I'll tell you the same

202
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.840
thing I said for Melbourne. Something's
broken in the United States. Because I'm

203
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.080
playing these clips of comedians. The
comedians happened to be women and they're all

204
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:37.080
wonderful. So something's wrong in the
States where women comedians are underrepresented or not

205
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.639
getting a shot, or there's something
in the water in Australia. I don't

206
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.519
know, but I'm looking at the
Australian comedy scene and going wow, there

207
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.200
are a lot of really funny women. One of the women at the Sydney

208
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.720
Festival, and I'm not stupid.
She's not Australian. The festival is Australian.

209
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.960
Is Fern Brady? You watched her
on Netflix the other day, didn't

210
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.240
you. Well, she's at the
Sydney Festival. The Scotsman said. She's

211
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.639
absolutely fearless. There's nowhere she won't
go and nothing she won't say on stage,

212
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.159
and she'll switch from snarling and menacing
the sweet and girlish in an instant.

213
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.399
The Evening Standard four stars. She
is distinctly acerbic and skating, but

214
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:18.159
most importantly hugely entertaining to let's listen. I finally got diagnosed autistic. It's

215
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.480
actually been really hard for me because
there's not a lot of representation of hot

216
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:28.320
women within the autistic community. So
be the change you want to see in

217
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.879
the world. I guess it's just
me and great a Funberg representing and it

218
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.720
makes sense because a lot of stuff
people do seems really alien to me.

219
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.120
Like a lot of my friends are
getting married now and I keep saying that

220
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.559
my boyfriend, who's like my translator
for human behavior. Why are all these

221
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.759
people we know getting married? And
he justifies it the way a lot of

222
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.840
people justify it. He says,
they're getting married firm because they want the

223
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.679
opportunity to declare their love for one
another in front of Oh they're family.

224
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.840
I'm laughing because I would actually have
to be on ecstasy to do something like

225
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.799
that. Yeah, why don't I
make her sex tape? But what my

226
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:15.120
emotions? That was a good clip. That's actually better than the Netflix teaser

227
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.559
that I played the other day.
All right, Kirsty Webeck, I think

228
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.480
I played her for Melbourne and I
think this is a different clip. I'm

229
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.799
kidding, Old the brain fills up. Her show is called I'll be the

230
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.039
Judge of That. She's recently learned
more about her relationship with Farmers, She's

231
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.320
had a harrowing experience with classical music, and a special thing happened to her

232
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:37.559
at the airport. The Sydney Morning
Herald says, consistently enjoyable and impossible to

233
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.840
dislike. Let's listen. I was
in the supermarket recently in a small child

234
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.759
yelled out at me how you look
like a man? And I said,

235
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.000
can you play so much? To
my boss. So it's reflected in my

236
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:54.679
pie. Just boom, just just
got him. I didn't even have a

237
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.679
boss. You know. Well in
your face. In all four you'll find

238
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.759
the tape, coffee and some sass
about the gender pay gap. I don't

239
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.519
mind things like that though, Like
sometimes I like to walk into the Maya

240
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.639
makeup counter just to see four sales
assistants have no idea what to do.

241
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.000
I was in an uber recently and
the driver said to me, I thought

242
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:24.440
your name was Kirsty and I said
it is and I thought this is going

243
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.960
to be good, and he said, ah ha, yeah, ha,

244
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.679
we are right. I was just
I thought Kirsty was a girl's name,

245
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.279
and there was not enough time to
explain that gender is a social construct,

246
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:48.639
so I said it is a girl's
name. And In Today's a non controversy

247
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.639
controversy from The New York Post,
a British comedian has sparked to beat after

248
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.039
mocking his pregnant wife's walk. Daniel
O'Reilly, who goes by Damper Laughs,

249
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.639
filmed his heavily pregnant wife in a
supermarket while making fun of her gait.

250
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.159
The TikTok has gone viral. Boy
I hope the government doesn't shut down TikTok,

251
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.480
because then we won't get videos like
this anymore. In the TikTok video,

252
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.840
Daniel asks why pregnant women walk like
they're about to start a scrap.

253
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.200
She looks like she's just come out
of a pub, had ten stell of

254
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.039
ears, and she's deep on the
pub grub. The wife tells the comedian

255
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.960
to shut up. Some of the
comments. One user wrote, because we're

256
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.600
in pain, baby is heavy and
pushing down. Another user said because there's

257
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.879
literally a bowling ball between my legs. Someone else said it's a level of

258
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.519
discomfort you can't understand unless you've lived
it. Another said I was about to

259
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.720
get defensive being a heavily pregnant woman, but I'm crying laughing, and that

260
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.039
is your comedy needs for today.
I put out another substack on Tuesday,

261
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.679
and there's another one out on Wednesday. The link is in the show notes.

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.399
It's mcdeepod dot substack dot com.
If you want to read me rambling

263
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.440
about various topics. Yesterday was about
Netflix streaming. Wednesdays is about Oh,

264
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.919
this whole thing with Megan Mark and
her selling jam. It is so entertaining.

265
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.319
We've been covering that over on the
Palace Intrigued podcast, But if you

266
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.440
want to read about it, that's
in the substack today. The substack is

267
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.119
free, so you know, subscribe
and the email show up in your inbox

268
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.400
and you could be like, I'm
sick of Johnny Mack. Just delete it.

269
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.240
That's your comedy needs for today,
See tomorrow.
