00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.640
Callaroga shark media. Let's take a break today, No politics,

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.320
no Tony. How's that for a change. Hi, I'm Johnny

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.760
Mack with your daily comedy news. Let's just do comedy

4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.480
comedy stuff today. Sam Morrill tweeted, I just watched all

5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.320
three Godfather movies. I was on the checkout line behind

6
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.399
one person at CBS. The Moon Tower Comedy Festival is

7
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.199
a big one. They've announced their lineup for twenty twenty

8
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.880
five April ninth through the nineteenth in Austin, Texas. It's

9
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.200
the festival's thirteenth year, will feature Adam Ray as a doctor,

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.679
Phil Parody, Tig Natsorro Fortune, Femster, May Martin osco Atkotska,

11
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.759
and quote many more. The many more include Big Jay

12
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:50.119
Okerson Podcast, Legion of Skanks, Brad Williams, Josh Johnson, and

13
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.679
local talent including Eliza Splatt, Andrew Murphy, Ashley Sharma, Averymore,

14
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.560
Brett ver Vort, Chris Teles, Colton Delling, Denny Goodwin, Doug Millard,

15
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:05.280
Dylan Carlino, Genevieve Clinton, and many more. A promotion called

16
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.480
the Bestie Badge offers twenty five dollars off every badge

17
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.599
to those who buy two or more. You've heard me

18
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.959
say before, the best way to handle a festival is

19
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.560
to hop and don't go see the headliners. You've seen

20
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.799
the headliners before, go see the other people. That's how

21
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.359
you get the most out of the festival. Another festival

22
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.359
has announced a lineup. It's the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival,

23
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.040
returning new venues across Canada next summer. They have announced

24
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.319
their headliners Not Bad John Mullaney and Jim Gaffigan. They

25
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.159
will co headline one weekend of the festival with performances

26
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.280
in Winnipeg and Edmonton on July nineteenth and July twentieth.

27
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.640
Festival producer Brennan McFall, in a statement, said, we couldn't

28
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.439
be more excited to announce this John and Jim co

29
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.239
headline as the first couple shows for twenty twenty five.

30
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.640
They are longtime friends and a couple of the best

31
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.799
comedians of our time. They've never performed like this, so

32
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.719
having them on the same stage on the same night

33
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.920
in both Winnipeg and Edmonton is going to be an

34
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.599
unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance. Speaking of John mulaney,

35
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.200
I couldn't we get to this all week, because you know,

36
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.840
because of the thing. Mulaney surprised Olivia Munn by showing

37
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.080
up to present her with in Style's Image Maker Award.

38
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.680
John told the star studded crowd, which included Chrissy Teagan,

39
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.680
Laverne Cox, and Hilary Duff. John said, Olivia is saving

40
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.319
lives by speaking her truth. Is not surprising to me.

41
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.840
Olivia is constantly trying to keep me out of danger

42
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:21.680
and keep me alive through a series of texts throughout

43
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.759
entire relationship. Mulaney then took out his phone and read

44
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.960
out at an example of one of their texting changes.

45
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.560
John sheared, this was like the two hundred time I

46
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.280
took her son out for a walk at a stroller

47
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.680
in Chicago, troute me out of nowhere with no context.

48
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.199
Please be so careful today. So many crazy things can

49
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.240
come out of nowhere. I texted back, Like what, Olivia responded,

50
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.319
crazy cars. You don't hear enough about crazy cars. Ronnie

51
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.759
Chang will have a special for Netflix, this one called

52
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.159
Love to Hate It Netflix, December seventeenth, taped at the

53
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.280
Historic Hawaii Theater in Honolulu, where he had a five

54
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.639
nights sold out run. The special unpacks the indignities of

55
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.919
the IVF process, the pitfalls of being a man on

56
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.360
the Internet, and the palace of the older Jenner in

57
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.680
today's world. Adrian apple Uji will have a special called

58
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.280
The Dark Queen, directed by Louis c. K not so

59
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.479
canceled and produced by Arishafir, now out November twelfth. Adrian

60
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.080
takes aim at our public figure We're not doing that today,

61
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.599
awkward tribute tattoos, virtual signaling, and more. This was filmed

62
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.759
at the Comedy Seller last fall. Alasan Alabama dot com

63
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.919
spoke to Hannibal Burs. They were curious, Annibal, you've been

64
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.639
doing pop up shows lately where you announced the performance

65
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.759
just days before it happens. What's the appeal? Annibill said,

66
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.800
There's a few things. Man. It's just fun to kind

67
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.400
of do things in short notice and kind of change

68
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.039
my plans and change people's plans and do something exciting,

69
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.159
kind of puts a deadline on it. The tickets will

70
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.080
sell faster a lot of times too, when it's something

71
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.159
like that versus the ones where I put them on

72
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.360
sale more time. I mean, they have to just because

73
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.319
of the nature of you know, the show's about to happen.

74
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.120
There's a lot of excitement around it, so I just

75
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.439
like doing them these days. I don't like having too

76
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.719
much on the calendar. Honestly, I'm opening a venue in

77
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.240
Brooklyn interesting, and I thought would be open by now.

78
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.039
I thought we're going to open in summer. So now

79
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.240
I'm doing gigs to help pay for this venue construction

80
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.520
all this stuff. But the surprise element is always fun. Man,

81
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.319
Have there not be a show one day and you

82
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.639
know two days before day. Have sometimes let people know

83
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.400
the show's going on. It could be a fun energy.

84
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.840
Al dot Com was curious, do you think you have

85
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.639
a good level of fame, Like can you walk down

86
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.199
the street without getting hassled? Animal said, yeah, I can

87
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.319
move around and go place to solo and it's pretty

88
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.680
normal out and about. So yeah, that's enjoyable too. I

89
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.839
look different now too, My hair looks different. So a

90
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.360
lot of times, even if the people know me, I

91
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.160
don't look how they remember me, so they don't end

92
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.240
up saying anything. It's a good advantage because then you're

93
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.120
able to observe people for comedy writing purposes or have

94
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.759
conversations without you know, that affecting it. And it's nice

95
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.399
to be able to go do stuff and just go

96
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.759
to a concert solo, all kinds of things. It's pretty mellow.

97
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.160
I dress that on stage with certain places. I'm not

98
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.560
gonna get bothered at a cracker barrel. I don't get

99
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.959
bothered when I'm at a dispensary. They go crazy. Sarah

100
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.399
Silverman's vote to WPR. Sarah, you're known for being pretty

101
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.000
fearless in your comedy. Have you ever thought of something

102
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.399
that's two out of bounds even for you? Sarah said no,

103
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.279
but there have been things I've decided not to talk

104
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.240
about because They'm either too close to it or I'm

105
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.399
not sure what's true, what's real? You know, Like I

106
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.759
think I'm semi responsible for what comes out of my mouth,

107
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.439
but only semi responsible because I'm also a comic and

108
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.319
I'm ten years old. Sarah's in Madison tonight at the

109
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.279
Orpheum Theater. If you need plans and you're in Madison,

110
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.680
We've got a private jet. And you really like comedy,

111
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.759
she warns you. Though, my last special came out on

112
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.560
HBO right after my parents passed away, like two weeks later,

113
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.079
so I said zero with stand up material. My step

114
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.040
mom and dad died nine days apart. It was a

115
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.279
wild experience. My dad was my best friend, so I

116
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.720
did his eulogy, and eulogy was pretty funny. I started

117
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.639
doing stand up talking about it, and it turns out

118
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.439
there was a lot of comedy there. This is like

119
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.439
the worst ad for a comedy show, but I promise

120
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.560
it's funny. It's very dark tomorrow on this program, my

121
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.040
guest is Dez. Bishop did forty five minutes with him

122
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.759
on Monday. I showed an excerpt about thing we're not

123
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.000
talking about on Tuesday's podcast, but you can hear the

124
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.160
whole conversation there. If you are an Irish American kid

125
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.120
from Queens, New York who is in the bar scenes

126
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.600
in the nineties and you're a Mets fan, this is

127
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.000
the pod cast for you. Some of you might listen

128
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.720
to it and be like, what are these two even

129
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.720
talking about? But you know, I stayed in that lane.

130
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:09.879
I'm an Irish American kid from Queens who hit the

131
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:11.560
bar seat in the nineties, that I'm a Mets van

132
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.319
and so those deads and we had a lot to

133
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.040
talk about there. So I really enjoyed the conversation. I'll

134
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.759
be curious to see your reaction. That's tomorrow. Sunday will

135
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.800
be a normal episode, and then you know, next week

136
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.759
gonna have to talk about the thing we're not talking

137
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.240
about today, guys, which reminds me the New York Comedy

138
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.759
Festival is at the end of next week, and I'm

139
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.399
wondering if they were paying attention to the thing we're

140
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.040
not talking about today. I feel like the Comedy Festival

141
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.639
might get completely overshadowed by that event on Tuesday that

142
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.519
we're not talking about. We will see this next thing

143
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.800
is fun. On December ninth, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus

144
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.399
will stream the Dallas Cowboys Cincinnati Bengals game. But they're

145
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.319
doing one of those overlays. Was so much fun, and

146
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.279
this one, all the players will be replaced by animated

147
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.000
characters based on those from Simpsons. Yeah, They've got this

148
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.800
cool technology where they can somehow animate the game. The

149
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.560
full roster of Simpson's voice talent ar participating, including Hank Azaria,

150
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.560
Nancy Cartwright, et cetera. They will lend their voices to

151
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.560
pre recorded bits and skits written by the Simpsons production

152
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.639
team that will run before and during the game, including

153
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.279
some that involve players from each team and steven A.

154
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.680
Smith and Peyton and Eli Manning. The Alts cast will

155
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.279
also have its own announcer booth with animated versions of

156
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.279
Mina chimes. Dan Rolovsky and Drew Carter calling the game

157
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.319
for parts of the game. Bart Simpson will appear on

158
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.399
the field for the Bengals, replacing an actual Bengals player,

159
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.959
while Homer Simpson will play for the Cowboys. Margin Lisa

160
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.439
will interview players during the game. Maggie Man's the Skycam.

161
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.399
Joe and Troy will have the game on the normal channel.

162
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.519
The Manning cast will be on ESPN two. Simpson's version

163
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.959
on Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. I don't know either,

164
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.560
but I have my ways. Nudge, nudge, wink wink, say

165
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.399
no more. The pressure Lease tells us the Simpsons it's

166
00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.720
a younger male demo that the NFL wants to reach. Yeah,

167
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.759
I mean the NFL is barely reaching dudes. It's a

168
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.360
good thing they're they're connecting with a thirty five year

169
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.319
old cartoon, or guys wouldn't watch the end of what

170
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.480
are you talking about? David Gabori has an album out today.

171
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.920
It is called Birth of a Nation, available everywhere where

172
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.720
comedy is streamed and sold. David started doing stand up

173
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.959
in twenty ten and san fran because a friend advised

174
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.040
them that if he bombed, at least he wouldn't run

175
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.279
into anyone he knew. Recorded in Denver, David cheers what

176
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.800
it's like to grow up in a house full of women,

177
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.560
mocks the emotional nature of tough guys, and confesses he

178
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.879
believed therapy was a scam until he cried in front

179
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.600
of his therapist. I don't know if you know this.

180
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.120
SNL turns fifty this year, and originally we were going

181
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.720
to talk about it every day, and then that other

182
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.480
topic came up and we got distracted. But we're back

183
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.039
to talking about SNL. Mikey Day said, it's odd out

184
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.240
during a bomb, there's no sound, so if like two

185
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.000
people laugh, that's super loud. Bow and Yang explained Lauren's

186
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.600
mantra is the audience is never wrong. It doesn't matter

187
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.360
how funny or prepared you are in your piece. If

188
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.440
it doesn't land in the room, it's not gonna play

189
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.480
at home. And if the audience in the bleach doesn't

190
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.879
like it, and that's not their fault. John Clees revealed

191
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.879
the faulty Tower stage show. We'll tour the UK next year.

192
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.480
Clee said, it's just wonderful to see people laughing like

193
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.960
that because when I was growing up with all those

194
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.639
great sitcoms, people used to laugh more than they do now,

195
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.080
and I think people miss it a bit and there's

196
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.279
a little bit of nostalgia in the audience when they're laughing.

197
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.639
And that is your comedy news for today. Tomorrow, Dez

198
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.799
Bishop and I we'll talk for forty five minutes or

199
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.960
so normal episode on Sunday and again next week. Gonna

200
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.879
have to talk about the thing. But hope you enjoyed

201
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:30.320
the break today. See you tomorrow.
