00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.560
daily comedy news. If you are in Kentucky, you're excited.
3
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:21.480
It's bourbon and beyond. Attendees can enjoy bourbon tastings, culinary demonstrations,
4
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.879
and interactions with celebrity guests like Jim Gaffigan. Oh yeah,
5
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.399
this is a whole thing in Louisville today through the
6
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.920
fourteenth not just Jim Gaffigan, but the lumineers who I'm
7
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.880
a big fan of fish, not actual fish, you know,
8
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.320
the Jam band, those guys. Terry Bradshaw's gonna be there
9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.280
talking family cooking with no G. I didn't drop the
10
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.719
G there. That's not the Queen's accent. That's Terry Bradshaw's
11
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.479
family cooking. Jim Gaffigan told The Courier Journal, I've been
12
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.880
completely sucked into the bourbon world. There's something almost mystical
13
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.320
about my affinity for bourbon, which goes beyond the taste.
14
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.560
It's also the history and the culture that fascinates me.
15
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.200
Jim describes himself as a former beer guide turned bourbon
16
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.200
NERD talked about his friend Stu. They were friends in
17
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.599
college and since we're both in the entertainment industry. We've
18
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.519
stayed in touch. I've been approaching a couple of times
19
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.359
about doing a celebrity spirit, but I was worried about
20
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.640
the quality, so I called Stu because I knew he
21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.359
was from Louisville. That makes sense, Jim. Besides the taste,
22
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.640
I love the history and culture of bourbon. I discovered
23
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.680
this whole nerdy bourbon world, and the more exposure I
24
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.359
can get, the more I enjoy it. Jim says, wife
25
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.359
Jeanie is happy he's doing this as a hobby. He jokes,
26
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.680
She's happy that I'm obsessing about bourbon rather than having
27
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.200
an affair. My bourbon obsession is a productive use of
28
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.719
my time. Well, Jim will be at the festival on
29
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.159
Sunday at four to ten on the really cool Fork
30
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.599
and Flask stage. Then in October, Jim is recording Jim
31
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.760
Gaffigan a Bourbon set, four separate shows that will include
32
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.560
content based on his observations of bourbon culture. They're going
33
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.159
to cut those together and make a special out of it. Apparently,
34
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.400
something called the Kentucky Entertainment Incentive Program is helping fund
35
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.159
all that. Your tax dollars at work. I guess because
36
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.519
I googled Kentucky Entertainment Incentive Program and they've got a
37
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.280
dot gov email address. The purpose of the KI program
38
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.599
is to encourage the film and entertainment industry to choose
39
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.439
locations in the Commonwealth for the filming and production of
40
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.560
entertainment productions. Hey guys, I'll sell out. I'll do my
41
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.599
podcast from Kentucky. Invite me down. I like money, Gaffigan said.
42
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.479
My shows at the Kentucky Center are going to be
43
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.439
a love letter to American whiskey. It's all a labor
44
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.840
of love because learning more about bourbon is something I
45
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.039
really enjoy. I hope others will enjoy the shows, but
46
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.680
if not, I've really enjoy developing the material. Well, if
47
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.479
you enjoy it so much and it's a labor of love,
48
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.479
why don't you turn down the tax dollars. I'm just
49
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.039
asking a question. Maybe there's a reason why you don't
50
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.120
just asking It's not like your easin. Sorry, all right,
51
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.120
there's more stuff. Sunday one thirty pm. Jim is doing
52
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.360
Listen to this. This is really cool. He's at the Kruger.
53
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.560
He's doing a bottle signing and a meet and greet
54
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.639
at the Kruger Supermarket. So what can you do at
55
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.840
this thing? You can purchase a bottle of father Time
56
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.840
Bourbon while supplies last, they point out, and have it
57
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.639
signed by Jim Gaffigan, and plus snap a photo together
58
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.599
to remember the moment. Boy, that sounds cool. He's at
59
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.319
the Kruger on twelve five oh one Shelbyville Road, you
60
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.280
know the one, then at four to ten on the
61
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.080
really cool FOURK and Flask stage. Told you about that already,
62
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.000
And he's got some more events coming up in October.
63
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.000
Very exciting, seems. Triple H let the cat out of
64
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.479
the bag. He was on the Pat McAfee show. They
65
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.280
were curious why Triple H wasn't at a recent WWE event.
66
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.840
HHH said, to be honest, I wasn't there. I haven't
67
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.199
had a chance to watch the show yet. I did
68
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.479
kill Tony last night. Oh shoot, I'm not supposed to
69
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.240
say that. I forgot. It was a secret that I'm
70
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.520
on there until Monday. It was fun, So I guess
71
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.520
that means he's on the Monday kill Tony. We'll find out.
72
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.520
The Hollywood Reporter did one of those big cover stories
73
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.960
about Nabrigazzy. Now trust me, on my resume. I know
74
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.520
about how these things get made for my time at
75
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.840
Series XM, because this was like the holy grail of
76
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.680
publicity in the certain offices in the building. This isn't
77
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.599
somebody waking up out of bed and going, you know,
78
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.680
I think I gott write a story about n Abrigazzy. No, no, no,
79
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:04.479
this was like the full on agency involved, PR team involved.
80
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.360
Now the timing makes sense because Nate is hosting the
81
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.240
Emmys on Sunday, but this was a big deal and
82
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.599
I'm not sure this is the best look for Nate,
83
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.279
and I think even he is aware of it. I'll
84
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.759
have some thoughts on a comedy stock market tomorrow, but
85
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.079
I just I don't know Nate. I don't know. I
86
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.199
don't know. I mean, Nate's gonna have an awesome weekend,
87
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.399
but I don't know. Lacey Rose writes in The Hollywod Reporter.
88
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.279
I noticed Nate Bergetzi's car before I notice him. The
89
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.879
burnt orange Portia has just pulled up to the bustling
90
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.879
Nashville restaurant where we've agreed to meet, and the valet
91
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.000
is signaling for Bagetzi to park out front. Once he's
92
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.240
made his way inside. He'll tell me that his primo
93
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.639
spot is a perk of driving a stick shift. What
94
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.040
he won't say, and what he'd hate having to read here,
95
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.959
is that it's also a perk of being the most
96
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.199
successful touring comedian in the world. At this stage, he
97
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.279
could afford a whole fleet of them without noticing a
98
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.360
dent Inis bank account. But there's also a genuine discomfort
99
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.360
that comes with the spoils of success. Nate says, I'm grist.
100
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.439
I hesitate to even talk about it because I don't
101
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.920
want anyone to think that I'm better than them. Lacey
102
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.560
writes on The Hollywood Reporter, and Brigetzi has spent a
103
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.319
fair share of his time lately grappling with concerns like
104
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.360
this one in therapy, which is another thing that he's
105
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.399
embarrassed about. He's terrified it'll come off as some out
106
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.600
of touch elitist and not the comfortably relatable Oafish dad
107
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.399
that's earned him legions of fans. But he's just come
108
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.279
from his therapist office and he ate a good session
109
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.199
and maybe a breakthrough, And once he starts talking about it,
110
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.240
he can't seem to stop skipping ahead. In his high
111
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.600
school yearbook, students were asked what they thought they'd be
112
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.759
doing in ten years. His response performing against Zani's That's
113
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.600
the Big Club in national there, Nate says, I think
114
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.160
it used to feel stupid for me to want to
115
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.040
dream this big. I thought this tidbit was interesting. Even
116
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.480
after his twenty twenty one Netflix special The Greatest Average
117
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.759
American got a Grammy nomination. Netflix is said to have
118
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.600
encouraged Nates to explore other distributors for his next special.
119
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.480
He went with Amazon. Netflix came around with a bigger offer,
120
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.519
but he took Amazon instead. He was hurt, not surprised.
121
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.920
Nate said, it wasn't that I wasn't doing well, but
122
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.560
everybody started getting a little opinionated and was like, man,
123
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.199
they're getting all this industry love and they're the coolest thing.
124
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.959
And when I'd get off stage, people would be like, Oh,
125
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.920
he's the funniest, but I wasn't getting any of that,
126
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.279
and it was really frustrating. Patt and Oswald too, I'm
127
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.160
a fan of but I'm mad at him because he's
128
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.120
part of the people ruining Star Trek. He recently played
129
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.319
Dug the Vulcan. Do you want to hear what it
130
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.720
sounds like me throwing something across the room. Have me
131
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.319
watch that episode. And then he goes on Star trek
132
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.040
dot com and the question what was your relationship with
133
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.519
Star Trek Here I'll go first, Are you kidding me?
134
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.160
I started watching tv WPIX Channel eleven, New York City.
135
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.519
They showed it six nights a week at six o'clock
136
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.319
Monday to Saturday. Watched it seventy nine episodes, watch them
137
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:42.920
over and over. As a kid, I figured out, oh,
138
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.120
season one has these credit, Season two has these credit.
139
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.079
Season three has the blue credits. Season two the Enterprise
140
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:49.920
flish from the side season when the Enterprise comes out
141
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.920
of the middle. I watched this thing and I'm memorized.
142
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.839
But Patton Oswald to play Doug the Vulcan said, I
143
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:57.319
was born in sixty nine, so it was always the
144
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.360
thing in the background. I never sat down and watched
145
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.879
the entire YA series from start to finish. Some people did,
146
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:03.839
but it wasn't a big part of my life. What
147
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.839
you're like, the guy doing nerd comedy and you've never
148
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.319
watched Star Trek tos and you're playing Dug the Vulcan.
149
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.399
Patton says, I remember really really loving the movies and
150
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.560
certain episodes of the Next Generation it was the best
151
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.439
of both worlds and other episodes that really just had
152
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.600
amazing writing and directing. So there's been that level of awareness,
153
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.439
but it wasn't a realm that I completely was into
154
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.680
from the get go. He talked about playing Dug the Vulcan.
155
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.120
He said, everything was in the script. In true Star
156
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.399
Trek fashion, They're going to leave it open an interpretation.
157
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.120
What was their background, how did they meet, how did
158
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.360
they sustain this relationship. I'm going to leave that up
159
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.399
to the viewers. It's more fun that way, as you're
160
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.000
playing Doug with the vulcan ears and makeup. He said,
161
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.360
it was incredible. I'm in the chair. I'm doing what
162
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.639
Leonard Nimoy has done, what Christy Ally did, what all
163
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.199
these greats did. I'm not sure how many greats played vulcans.
164
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.240
I digress. It's almost like it's part of the Hollywood process,
165
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.920
and they really have it down with science. I thought
166
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.560
it was going to take hours. They're actually very, very
167
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.240
good at getting vulcan ears on very quickly. It's not
168
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.759
like it was in the sixties and seventies. Patton said,
169
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.720
I did want to add lib they wrote my character
170
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.079
very precisely. He's a vulcan. He's not going to do
171
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.319
ad lib things or have emotional reactions to anything. I
172
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.439
love that part of it. This is someone who very
173
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.120
boldly states what he thinks and feels, and I was
174
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.680
happy to stick to that. I was interested where Spock
175
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.279
realizes and comes to terms and accepts the fact that
176
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.480
he's an outsider and no matter where he is, he's
177
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.040
an outsider among all those humans, different species. Then when
178
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.839
his crew turned vulcan, Oh god, this show he's an
179
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.439
outsider among them as well, because he's half fulcan, half human.
180
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.639
When he ends up embracing his uniqueness, The unspoken thing
181
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.480
about Doug is Doug loves the fact that Spock's so unique.
182
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.360
You can't be so unique. You're either unique or not unique.
183
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.360
That's what you really want, a friend, someone that actually
184
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.000
likes the fact that you're different than anyone else. Are
185
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.080
you guys still here? See I've told you on and
186
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.759
off over the years. I'm very passionate about Star Trek.
187
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.279
You heard the rage come out there, but you know,
188
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.159
ostensibly that was a story about comedian Patton Oswald, So
189
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.159
thank you for the indulgence there. Spinal tap is out tomorrow.
190
00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:00.120
They have done amazing amounts of press in character Nigel's
191
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.399
it's no spoke to Guitar World, we learned. Nigel for
192
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.240
the last fifteen years has been living on the border
193
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:09.159
of Scotland. I've got a cheese shop there and we
194
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.320
work together with his partner Mora. He still plays music,
195
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.639
mostly with locals in the nearby pub and says, but
196
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:16.679
it's not for the public to hear. Well, it could happen,
197
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.919
but as it so happens, it's not. It's just for me.
198
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.679
He makes cheese. He was asked if the pub sells
199
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.639
any of his cheeses. He says pubs aren't really known
200
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.200
for their cheese, now are they. If you know what
201
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.320
a pub is, it's mostly people drinking side or a
202
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.799
port or some sort of ale or lagger. All right,
203
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.919
here is a shocking development. I actually watched a comedy special. Yeah.
204
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:36.919
My wife was like, oh, I'll watch the paper with you.
205
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.639
I'll be down in like twenty minutes, so I had
206
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.320
to kill some time. I watched the entire Apple iPhone presentation,
207
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.639
which was forty minutes long. She still wasn't there, so
208
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.200
I'm like, all right, let me see what's on Netflix,
209
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.159
and they stuck Jordan Jensen Special in front of me,
210
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.840
and I hit play and I lasted one minute seven seconds.
211
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.639
I think the material might have been okay, but Jordan,
212
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.840
are you listening? Jordan and your people, are you guys listening?
213
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.519
Stop adding fake laughter. I mean it's like, hello, Halla.
214
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.039
I could not with this special. It actually made me angry,
215
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.000
and I posted about it in the Facebook group, which
216
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.519
is Daily Comedy News podcast group, and then one of
217
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.440
the regulars over there, Dylan, made me laugh. I'm still
218
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.480
laughing at this line. He wrote, this is the one
219
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:26.000
you watch the day it comes out. He's so right,
220
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:27.919
because I never watched them today they come out because
221
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.320
I'm always doing something else. But yep, I watched Jordan
222
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.639
Jensen minute seven. I don't know if it's good or bad,
223
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.480
but the laugh track is unacceptable. So I did not
224
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.720
watch it, and I went out of my way to
225
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.720
give it a thumbs down in the Netflix algorithm. That's
226
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.480
how angry Jordan Jensen's special made me. Apparently she went
227
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.799
on Stoby's World podcast and people are upset about that.
228
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.240
Cracked wrote, and I'm just gonna mostly quote here because
229
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.360
I'm not really sure what's going on? But Cracked wrote
230
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.039
these words her erratic behavior on the most recent episode
231
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.840
of the Stobby's World podcast, which dropped up yesterday morning,
232
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.159
so that would be Tuesday morning. Barely two minutes into
233
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.559
Jensen's unteenth appearance on the show, made a point to
234
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.679
mention that her next stop on the podcast press tour
235
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.080
would be on The Joe Rogan Experience. Interesting, they say,
236
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.559
the conversation steered towards her hot takes on such rogan
237
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.519
Esque topics as the transgender identity LGBTQ issues in general,
238
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.480
and how, in her opinion, feminism is dead. At the
239
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.600
same time, however, Jensen argued that the perceived failure of
