1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.199
If you listened yesterday you heard I
was losing my voice. Well, I

3
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:18.399
recorded this one right after that once
I could goof off yesterday and go see

4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.679
the eclipse. My voice isn't too
bad, but I don't have it in

5
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.280
me to like punch up and down
on the vocals as much as usual,

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.600
So I'm gonna crib off the Melbourne
Comedy Festival the second half. Again.

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.799
I did have the late Bot write
some jokes about Jim gaffigan bourbon. Late

8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.000
Bot says, did you hear Jim
Gaffigan's releasing his own bourbon? Finally a

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.359
whiskey for dads who think olive garden
is too ethnic. Jim Gaffigan's new bourbon

10
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.840
is perfect for people who find perhaps
blue bourbon too edgy and dangerous. Gaffigan's

11
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.039
Bourbon is the only whiskey that comes
with the side of mashed potatoes and gravy.

12
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.399
The bourbon pairs nicely with a sensible
bedtime and doctor approved cholesterol level.

13
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.039
Jim Gaffigan's Bourbon for when you want
to get wild and crazy but still be

14
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.679
in bed by nine point thirty.
Bourbon aficionados are calling Gaffigan's whiskey the khaki

15
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.200
pants of the liquor world. All
that was by AI, not bad late

16
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.319
bot. Jim Gaffigan said the new
whiskey was created from scratch, with no

17
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.640
corporate or investor backing. I put
up my own money and sampled hundreds of

18
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.519
barrels because I wanted to create something
that I enjoyed drinking, that would be

19
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.319
a beautiful addition to anyone's bar and
would make a great Father's Day gift.

20
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.799
I'm obviously not a bourbon expert,
but I did my research and I know

21
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.560
what I like. I handpicked the
bourbon in each autograph bottle of father Time.

22
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.519
Oh it just got even less cool. Hey, here's a Jim Gaffigan

23
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.040
autograph bottle. I don't know,
man, and no, there isn't some

24
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.079
big spirit company behind this adventure,
just me and a buddy from college.

25
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.719
We got tons of help from smart
bourbon people, and we're proud of what

26
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.599
we created. We hope you enjoying
drinking it as much as we do.

27
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.799
I have a feeling this is going
to go down like remember George Lopez Tacos.

28
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.120
If you're a longtime listener George was
all about the tacos during the pandemic

29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.400
and then never heard about that again. Neil Brennan specials out on Netflix today.

30
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.560
It's called Neil Brennan Crazy Good.
The Hollywood Reporter was curious where he

31
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.319
filmed the special. Interesting answer,
he said, at the Fonda Theater in

32
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.519
Hollywood. But I've never really understood
the big thing about audiences in general.

33
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.759
My audiences are ninety five percent the
same wherever I go, even in like

34
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.120
London or Thailand. The jokes either
work or they don't. What Neil's hoping

35
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.000
for with this one is that people
who thought I was Mopi or Maudlin,

36
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.080
or self peding, or maybe had
written me off, give me a chance.

37
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:20.680
It's a hard thing to ask people
like no, no, no,

38
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.280
We've reimagined who Neil Brennan is.
But hopefully if you watch the first eleven

39
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.080
or twelve minutes, you'll see,
oh, he's just being reckless and funny.

40
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.639
He's not being contemplative in any way. He commented on his executive producer,

41
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.280
Bill Burr. He said, Bill
Burr, now Matrick will have this

42
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.800
company all Things Comedy that produced it. They're great and very pro comedian,

43
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.759
and it's not like there's a ton
of graft in the comedy production world,

44
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.759
but they know exactly what costs what. Bill's done nine specials with something,

45
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.479
so he knows exactly what everything should
cost. Speaking of Bill Burr, he

46
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.439
did one of those amas with Wired. I'll go rapid Fire here Bill.

47
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.520
What's Bill Burr's best special? Burr
said, that's like saying which child do

48
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.159
you like most? Sophie's choice.
I love Paper Tiger because I was in

49
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.599
England and I love challenge to that. I also love Red Rocks. It

50
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.000
wasn't even what I did. It
was the crowd. What I love was

51
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000
how was Mike You could hear the
crowd and if you can get through my

52
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.280
jokes on the special, just listen
to the audience. Every once in a

53
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.800
while I'd say something really random and
stupid and people would laugh at the ridiculousness

54
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.400
of it, but you always hear
one guy just go like, yeah,

55
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.080
it wasn't a joke, because it's
like, yeah, I think that too.

56
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.960
He talked about Breaking Bad and said, I did the car wash one

57
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.560
first, then I did the one
with Lavelle Crawford where the guy drops the

58
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.719
oranges and bangs his head. And
I got to be in Saul Goodman's office,

59
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.120
which was crazy because I was such
an insane fan of the show.

60
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.599
I think two three seasons in and
I remember going to saw Goodman's office where

61
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.280
the Constitution thing above his desk,
and I felt like I got sucked in

62
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.560
on my TV. It was incredible. And then I did the train robbery

63
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.000
and I got to drive that big
dump truck and I remember the stunt guy

64
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.000
was like nervous, going like,
well, you don't know what you're doing,

65
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.400
and I said, well, I'm
only going half a mile an hour.

66
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.000
I just let the clutch out and
gave a gas. I was young.

67
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.319
I didn't know what he was doing. He was asked, what's Bilburr

68
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.560
like in real life? He said, I'm an inquisitive person. I just

69
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.960
try to stay ahead of my depression. And if I'm learning something new,

70
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.120
it's exciting. It's challenging, it's
embarrassing because I'm making mistakes. But I

71
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.400
don't have to listen to the demons. It shuts them up. They start

72
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.840
talking around eleven fifteen, eleven sixteen, every night New Topic. How did

73
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.599
Bill burend up on the Mandalorian Bill
said, I ended up on it through

74
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.360
Jon Favreau, who listened to my
podcast. He used to hear me making

75
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.560
fun of Star Wars and though it
was funny. I ended up meeting him

76
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.120
at a mutual friend's birthday party.
He goes, you know, there's a

77
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.079
partner that we're writing right now.
I think it'd be good for it.

78
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.000
And I was like, John,
you gonna be honest with you. I

79
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.240
kind of make fun of Star Wars. Not in a malicious way. It's

80
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.160
just I see people really enjoying something, and I know it's an easy hit.

81
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.240
If I make fun of it,
I can watch them get upset.

82
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.279
You know. It fills up my
day for whatever reason. And he goes,

83
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.800
no, no, no, He
goes, I know I've heard it.

84
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:30.920
I think it's hilarious, and I
think your fans would find it funny

85
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.439
if you were on the show.
Bill says it's one of the favorite things

86
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.160
he's ever done in his career.
And I will say Star Wars fans are

87
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.279
cool as hell. Deadline reports Tom
sigoors and talks from multiple roles in Dirty

88
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.160
Rotten Bastarday, show biz centric indie
film from Ed Helms and Mike Fabio's Pacific

89
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:51.000
Electric Picture Company. The film tells
the insane true story of an aspiring filmmaker

90
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.120
who's kidnapped by deranged lounge singer Tony
Clifton. Now do you know who Tony

91
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.920
Clifton is? I'll get to that
in a second. Initially drawn a doc

92
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.279
in Clifton's world, he's thrust into
a chaotic journey of sex, celebrity,

93
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.319
and comedy, blurring the lines between
observer and participant and testing his sanity.

94
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.680
Sigor will play Andy Kaufman's larger than
like comedic persona Clifton, as well as

95
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.439
Andy Kaufman's friend and longtime collaborator,
Bob's Muda. Now, if you're not

96
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.759
hip to this joke, there was
this loud mouth character Tony Clifton, often

97
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.839
played by Andy Kaufman, and the
late night talk shows would try and book

98
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.199
Andy, and Andy would say,
I'll only come on as Tony Clifton,

99
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.040
and sometimes Tony Clifton would be Andy, and sometimes Bob's Muda would dress up

100
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.279
and perform the character, and Andy
Kaufman would be home laughing at everyone,

101
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.639
thinking was Andy Kaufman doing a character? I've met Bob's mood to spent a

102
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.920
lot of time with them back at
Serious. I've got some stories, but

103
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.120
I don't have the voice to tell
them properly today, so I'm going to

104
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.639
leave a note to tell you these
tomorrow or the day after Deadline rights.

105
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.600
Zumuda was known to switch off with
Kaufman and portraying Clifton, a foulmouth singer

106
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.720
out of Vegas famous for his abrasive
personality and erratic behavior. Kaufman liked to

107
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.639
in have at him both on stage
and off, sometimes appearing in character during

108
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.160
interviews and public appearances. The mystique
surrounding the character was amplified by the fact

109
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.319
that, over the course of Kaufman's
life, many believe Clifton to be a

110
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.199
real person separate from Andy Kaufman.
Great stuff, I'll tell us some stories

111
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:29.720
tomorrow Gossup cor Corner and on Gossip
Corner, The Daily Mail says. Adam

112
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.600
Sandler kept it casual in a north
Face coat as he enjoyed a stroll with

113
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:39.600
his daughters. Adam Sandler spotted in
London walking around. Also spotted playing basketball

114
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.240
with some locals. We're told Adam
opted for a laid back look with a

115
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.240
light blue hoodie and a pair of
red tracksuit bottoms. Let's see what's happening

116
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.680
at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival so
I can save my voice. Daniel Connell's

117
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.639
show is called Little Aussy Battler.
Let's listen. Lovely to be here,

118
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.519
It's lovely to be out and about. It's great to say international travelers returning

119
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.560
from Ivis and Ozzie's coming back.
They haven't been able to come back for

120
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.680
a while. I've been out at
the airport last week. I went out

121
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.079
there. I didn't have anybody to
pick up. I just went out to

122
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:15.199
watch. It's nice just watching people
jumped on a few family huddles. They

123
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.800
hated it, but I quite enjoyed
it. It's just nice to feel something,

124
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:25.879
you know, just anything at a
moment, absolutely ruined though. This

125
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.839
guy is about mid thirties. He's
come bolt through the terminal. I see

126
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.360
his parents on the other side of
the early seventies. He runs up to

127
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.439
him. He's got all his luggae. John. He gets to him,

128
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.519
I'm almost about to jump on the
huddle and they pull their mass down the

129
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.680
mother and the sun and a big, long kiss on the lips. Big

130
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.759
that is disgusting. If we cut
that out. I land out like an

131
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.120
audible. Ah, it's pretty good. How about this show? Ruby Ester

132
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.639
does her Bester? I like the
title, let's listen. I hey,

133
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.079
look, I'm just gonna get right
into it and preface my set by saying

134
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.639
I'm aware. I'm aware. I
come off quite anxious on stage, all

135
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:13.959
right, Not to worry, It's
mostly just the anxiety. No, but

136
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:20.240
I think my anxiety started in intermediate
school when I was moderately to severely bullied.

137
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.759
That's a laugh line. It's okay. The bully died last year.

138
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:37.440
Delta. No sorry, no,
sorry, too soon? Too soon?

139
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.639
No? No, no, I
did it? Do you guys like my

140
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:52.039
hair? Thank you? Correct?
Yeah. I went to the hair dresser

141
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.600
very recently with a very specific image
in mind and in hand. I printed

142
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.519
it out and I handed it to
my hairdresser and she looks concerned, and

143
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.240
she was like, okay, just
going to confer with you. You want

144
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:11.320
me to give you waistlength extensions and
diet all black? No, no,

145
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:18.480
I said, you're not listening on
h leak. You see the way the

146
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:24.279
girl in the picture is looking out
the window. You see the way the

147
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:30.200
rain is falling softly on the window
pane. How she's unoberturbed by the slight

148
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.879
warping of her face in the water, or the hand resting on her shoulder,

149
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:41.480
or even the party going on in
the windows reflection behind her. You

150
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:48.080
see how she doesn't quite fit in, but she doesn't not belong. You

151
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.200
see how she doesn't know, She
doesn't know where she's going to go next.

152
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.919
Maybe she'll rejoin the party, maybe
she'll go to a different party,

153
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.320
go to a club, go to
a friend's house. For hell, maybe

154
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:15.759
she's gonna go home. Can you
cut that? Is that? I think

155
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:26.559
it's like layers and she couldn't zero
stars, so we bleached it. Thank

156
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.600
you, I've been Ruby, You've
been lovely. Have a good night.

157
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.480
I loved her. Her presence is
fantastic. Now, maybe not the funniest

158
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.279
joke, but what a great storyteller. I couldn't wait to hear how that

159
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.840
one would finish. She at me
totally captivated. Fantastic. Right, let's

160
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.759
do one more. Tommy Little's show
was called Tommy Little has a regular sized

161
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.960
deck. There's a picture of him
playing cards. I don't know what you

162
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.000
were thinking. Let's listen. I
had a busy year last year. I

163
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.759
went to fight pies. I became
a pilot. You do people clap with

164
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.480
that, but that's fine. I'm
obviously performing to a room for fellow pilots.

165
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.480
Nice. It's not as long as
you think right. When you're driving

166
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.440
a car, you have to do
one hundred and twenty hours next to someone

167
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:20.480
else before you're allowed to drive a
car by yourself. Flying a plane,

168
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.879
I did nine hours and I was
allowed to fly a plane by myself.

169
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.519
How why was that? It means
you can catch a flight from here to

170
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.200
Hong Kong, and if you earn
on the way, when it lands,

171
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.679
you can say to the captain,
don't worry, champ, I'll take it

172
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.279
back from here. Being a pilot
is the best because there are no rules.

173
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.440
Sorry, there are heaps of rules, there's just no one to check

174
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.240
on them. You can't get pulled
over in the sky. No one has

175
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.960
ever checked my license. No one
has ever breathalyzed me, no one has

176
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.799
ever drug tested me. There's a
key to the door that opens our hangars,

177
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.159
and then the planes don't even have
keys. If you can fly them,

178
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.039
you can take The reason I'm telling
you this is because if there's a

179
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.159
story on the news five years from
now, and I'm accused of smuggling drugs

180
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.360
around this beautiful country and I'm on
the news going I didn't do it.

181
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.480
There's no way I ever do this. I did it. He's fantastic.

182
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.279
I like him a lot. He
is Tommy Little. And that is your

183
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.159
comedy news for today. Because I
have no voice, Tell a friend about

184
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.120
the show see tomorrow.
