00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.880
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.000
daily comedy news. Joe Cooy he's working on his sixth
3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.800
Netflix special and he's going to get a vinyl version
4
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.399
of it from Netflix. That'll probably be one of those
5
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.800
where they make like twelve copies, sell them in the
6
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.239
cool record store in Portland and then pretend it's an
7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.879
album and submitted for a Grammy. Joe Coy sa, Eddie
8
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.480
loves vinyl, his son loves vinyl, and Joe Cooy collected
9
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.560
Eddie Murphy albums when he was a kid. Now, come on,
10
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.960
you didn't collect Eddie Murphy albums? There were what two?
11
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.000
That's not a Collection's I bought to Eddie Murphy albums? Anyway,
12
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.799
Joe Coy said, this one could be a lot of fun.
13
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:45.520
I'm a lot older and my son's a lot older.
14
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.399
Now he's on the road with me now, so there's
15
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.320
that to talk about it. It's a new chapter. If you
16
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.880
watch all my specials, it's literally like watching the story
17
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.759
of my son and myself growing up. I'll go way
18
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.280
back and it's like a flash before my eyes, these
19
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.799
little flashback moments where it takes me back to raising
20
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.759
my son and I get well, well, little sentimental. I
21
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.000
wonder if he's sentimental about that time he hosted the
22
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.560
Golden Globes. I don't know if you remember this. He
23
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.879
told this horrible, just awful, like j LENO mean level
24
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.280
of joke about Taylor Swift, who then justifiably gave him
25
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.400
the stare. You think Taylor Swift is going to just
26
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.439
smile at an innocent joke. No, She's gonna try and
27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.200
crush your career. Here. Let's listen the big difference between
28
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.400
the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes,
29
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.480
we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Sebastian Man
30
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.439
of Skalgo likes comparing stand up to music. He says,
31
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.200
I feel like there's a music element to stand up
32
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.439
in the sense that it has a rhythm, pacing in cadence,
33
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.840
whether you go higher with your voice or go lower
34
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.640
to bring the audience in. That's very smart dispassion with
35
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.359
my act. There's also a physicality that's infused into the material.
36
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.640
I'm not just standing there behying a microphone telling jokes.
37
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.239
That movement I compare to dance. It's almost like you're
38
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.400
dancing to your words. Sebastian wants you to leave his
39
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.560
show talking about what you saw, not just the performance,
40
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.560
but the production value of it. He explains, you're charging
41
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.280
a high ten price. You don't want to have somebody
42
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.879
walk in and see performing on the stage at the
43
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.200
arena gave you. I designed the stage for the ID
44
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.519
Ain't Right Tour as a triangle because when I was
45
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.000
out and the round, I felt like I was walking
46
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.240
in circles. With the triangle, I have three points to
47
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.159
go to. Also very smart, I like to get involved
48
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.879
with the nuts and bolts of the production. The lighting,
49
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.319
The steps to the stage light up when I stepped
50
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.319
on them. I came out on a vespa. I did
51
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.520
a pre show video that correlated to the vespa. I
52
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.039
was in a vespa on the screen and the next
53
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.639
thing you know, I come on stage on a vespa.
54
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.719
They're gonna leave hopefully talking about how much they laughed
55
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.840
and not about how beautiful the lighting rig was. But
56
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.960
it enhances the experience. Kathy Griffin has apologized for teasing
57
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.639
Anna Nicole Smith. In a YouTube video, Kathy Griffin recounted
58
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.080
her relationship with Smith back in the day. Griffin rarely
59
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.560
joked about Smith and impersonated Smith by slurring her words.
60
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.280
Kathy did this in various tours and including some televised
61
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.400
Bravo specials. Kathy Smith one of the greatest beauties of
62
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.039
any generation, but noted she was also very troubled as
63
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.840
her career went on. She was very addicted to drugs.
64
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.960
She overdosed, That's how she passed away. It's no secret
65
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.560
I knew her from putting her in my act. I
66
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.360
really loved her. So let me just talk about her
67
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.039
because I was quite vicious to her in my act
68
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.919
because she was always efed up. Griffin said, she is
69
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.439
a real genuine affection for Anna and didn't know one
70
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.039
minute to the next if she was gonna hate me
71
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.719
or not based on what I was saying in my act.
72
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.360
Let me to say again apologies for everything I ever
73
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.199
said in the nineties and two thousands. But once again,
74
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.599
unless you live through the nineties and two thousands, you
75
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.960
don't know what a vicious time it was. Comedically vicious
76
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.800
it was, I guess it was. So I was vicious
77
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.479
to Anna, and I also witnessed a lot of tough
78
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.159
times with her because when she was messed up, she
79
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.879
could be nasty, she could be rough. I know in
80
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.719
her heart she was so abused by the business. Well,
81
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.840
while we're talking about people that were just horribly mean
82
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.360
and vicious in the nineties and two thousands, we've got
83
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.039
to talk about arguably the worst person who ever lived,
84
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.159
Jay Leno. The nerve of this guy. He went on
85
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.560
the Big Three podcast and started talking about electric vehicles.
86
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.319
The nerve of this guy. He said, it's a bit
87
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.759
like music. For years, rap wasn't recognized the same way
88
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.080
rock and roll wasn't recognized. I know rock and roll
89
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.719
guys that hate rap, and I know rap guys that
90
00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.520
hate rock and roll. But I think I feel like music.
91
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.719
It's the same thing with automobiles. I get it. I
92
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.360
like all types of cars. This guy in these opinions
93
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.800
liking all types of cars. J Letto is the worst,
94
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.520
he says. People get mad at me. They say, you've
95
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.599
got another ev on your show. I'm not watching j
96
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.000
Leto's garage anymore. Jay says, well, okay, don't watch, but
97
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.720
next week we'll have a gas car. We'll have something
98
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.600
you might like. You can't do the same thing every week.
99
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.560
The nerve of this guy. Unbelievable. This guy, Jay says
100
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.439
to me, I think the EV with the savior of
101
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.360
classic cars because classic cars do use more gas than
102
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.120
they pollute, but as their percentage gets smaller and smaller,
103
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.000
if everyone is driving an EV, it's not so much
104
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.279
pressure to get gas cars off the road. I consider
105
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.000
it a good thing. This guy's unbelievable. Let's talk about
106
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.959
somebody nice and not like crazy. J Leno weird now
107
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:42.800
talk to the La Times and he said, I think
108
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.680
that the craftsmanship is one of the reasons that the
109
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.120
humor works so well. And I think the best parody
110
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.360
is material that emulates the original source as closely as possible.
111
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.600
It helps the joke if you're sucked into thinking you're
112
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.680
listening to a particular pop song and then think, wait
113
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.160
a minute, these aren't the lyrics I'm used to. I've
114
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.240
got one of the best bands of the world, and
115
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.879
they do every genre flawlessly, and that's what helps make
116
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.360
the whole actwork. The core band has been together for
117
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.399
over forty years, and we're kind of telepathic and the
118
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.600
way we communicate now, so we're a lot better than
119
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.240
we were back in the day. Bill Engvall, back on
120
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.639
the Road, admitted to being a little rusty, and a
121
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.319
friend said, well, it's like riding a bike. Bill says, yeah,
122
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:18.839
but you got to remember, if it's the front break
123
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.399
of the back break, you picked the wrong one. You're
124
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.480
going over the handlebars. Bill talked about the success of
125
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.680
the Blue Collar Tour and explains it was one of
126
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.920
those perfect storm things. We appealed to this faction of
127
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.399
people all over the country, good old Americans, from plumbers
128
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.800
to doctors to authors. We were clean, which was a
129
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.959
big deal for a lot of people. Late Bergetzi's sure
130
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.680
to learn that. Lesson Jeff Ross, why did you take
131
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.800
your show to Broadway? Jeff said, And this is smart.
132
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.439
If you don't surprise your audience at this stage of
133
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.680
the game, I think you kind of fade away. I've
134
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.439
seen this happen to funny people. They go, this works.
135
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.240
Let me keep doing this because it pays the bills.
136
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.720
I always kept my overhead down. Part of that is
137
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.399
not having a kid's and wife. I lived the life
138
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.639
of a bachelor. Then I can do what I want creatively.
139
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.079
It gives me some freedom. I'm not responsible for anyone
140
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.839
but myself and my dogs. I go, let me take
141
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.560
a creative swing here instead of going on the road
142
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.600
and touring like a regular stand up act. I can
143
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.959
invest in something that's more creative filling at this point,
144
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.079
especially after a near death experience. Jeff talked about changing
145
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.800
his surname from lift Schultz to Ross. Why, Jeff Ross explains,
146
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.360
was early in my career, as coming out of the
147
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.199
open mic scene, I got booked on Star search Ed
148
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.120
McMahon was hosting. He kept introducing me saying, this week's
149
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.720
challenger Jeff Lipschitz, and then the next episode was Jeff Lipshot.
150
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.040
He couldn't get it right. I was flying home. I
151
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.639
thought maybe my name is too complicated. I didn't have confidence,
152
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.639
and when they screwed it up and screwed up my performance,
153
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.240
I spent the first twenty five years of my life
154
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.160
correcting people, every teacher, of her employer, every date. How
155
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.839
do you spell it? How do you say it? So
156
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.079
I went with my middle name Ross, named after my
157
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.199
great grandma Rose. Jeff was asked if he felt like
158
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.600
he was losing his family identity. This is very interesting.
159
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.680
His answer, no, it was a little weird. But my
160
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.079
grandfather was a band leader and he went from Lift
161
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.720
Schultz to Larsen many decades before. He was gone already,
162
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:56.879
so I didn't get to talk to him about it.
163
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.040
But I'd gone to film school, I studied advertising design.
164
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:00.639
I was like, I don't think lift Scheltz is going
165
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.759
to work as a calling card as a marquee. Nowadays
166
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.199
people in more open to that kind of stuff, but
167
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.720
at the time, I've been teased about my name as
168
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.360
a kid so much that I was like, why am
169
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.600
I giving people this? Let me make it simple. Vered
170
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.800
Oz is gearing up for a residency at New York
171
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.399
City's Lincoln Center. Wow. His new show, Hey Stranger, will
172
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.759
be part of their comedy series. Veeer says, It's never
173
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.839
happened before for someone where I came from, and it's
174
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.639
quite a prestigious room. So I'm worried about writing the show,
175
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.360
he told Variety. Really, all I'm thinking about is the jokes.
176
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.040
I remember day one of the trial shows. They were like, yeah,
177
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.399
it's funny, and usually that's all comedian needs to hear
178
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.519
is yeah it's funny. But is it West End? Is
179
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.680
it Broadway? And there's a journey from funny to there,
180
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.399
and I'm trying to make that journey. Can I write
181
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.920
a show that truly takes Indian comedy to anybody in
182
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.560
the world, like really, really anyone in the world. People
183
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.560
you've never met before and are never going to meet again,
184
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.240
have nothing to lose and can tell you the truth
185
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.879
in a way that people you know can't anymore. And
186
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.839
I've had this strange life that's been deeply impacted by strangers.
187
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.319
I've seen more of the world than anybody I've ever met.
188
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.319
So the show really is a stranger comes to down
189
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.399
and wherever you were from in the world, you could
190
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.480
come and see the Stranger. I think that's the show. Hey, Stranger,
191
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.160
Lincoln Center, October twenty ninth through the ninth, and that's
192
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.800
your comedy news on It's the summer Saturday. The forecast
193
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.519
was pretty good. Hopefully I'm at the beach right now
194
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.920
as you're listening to this. Tomorrow football can't wait rooting
195
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.360
against the Jets, finding out if my forty nine ers
196
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.639
or any good or not. I have no idea. You
197
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.560
know that guy Scott that listens to the show. He
198
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.240
messed up. He invited me to his football pool. He
199
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.480
thinks I'm some goofy guy recording a podcast in the basement.
200
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.480
He has no idea what he's in for as I
201
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.039
take his money in the weekly football pool. Keep you
202
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.080
updated on that. See you tomorrow.
