00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.160
Callaroga Shark Media. Man, you're only hearing my calm on
2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.960
air Persoda, You're not hearing all the F bombs un
3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.280
dropping as my equipment is giving me problems today. Hello,
4
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.199
I'm Johnny Mack. With their daily comedy news. Mark Merron
5
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.160
opened up to Esquire about the whole John Stewart thing.
6
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.120
Maren said, when I was coming up, he was a smart, cute,
7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.199
Jewish guy. He said, Stuart fit into a category of
8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.759
people who have foresight and are disciplined careers, and they
9
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.679
know how to understand their talent, harness it, and then
10
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:37.640
figure out how to capitalize on it with their skill
11
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.520
set on their terms. Maren said he himself never had
12
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.520
any control over my talent as a younger person in
13
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.600
the industry. That led him to resent John Stewart's success.
14
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:51.159
John Stewart hosted the Comedy Central show Short Attention Span Theater.
15
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.439
When Stuart left that gig, Mark Maron took it over.
16
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.920
That show was canceled shortly thereafter. Maren said, I was
17
00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.759
just all in and like demanding a place in this world.
18
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.479
Of so throughout my early career, John he was roughly
19
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.120
my age. She was just everywhere. It never stopped. You know,
20
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.439
I remember when he did the MTV show and then
21
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:08.719
he had the talk show and he had me on.
22
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.640
But my envy of him was always I would just
23
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.439
crap on him to his face, be like, who do
24
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.640
you think you are? Now that's interesting, right, because I
25
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.879
played on Friday's show. Both Mark Maren and Andrew Schultz
26
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.719
said that about Mark Maren. So that's interesting now Mark
27
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.959
Maron is saying that about Mark Maren. Maren continued, it
28
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.879
was just consuming because I couldn't get through out a
29
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:28.640
week without him being on the cover of magazine. And
30
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:30.040
for some reason I saw it as like, if I
31
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.719
could only have my crap together, I could be more
32
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.640
like that guy. Maren says, back then he was constantly
33
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.640
comparing himself to John Stewart. I think I was definitely
34
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.239
gunning for something else. I don't think I got in
35
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.840
a comedy to be an entertainer, of have a job
36
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.040
as a talk show host or anything. He was asked,
37
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.799
all right, why did you get into it? Then Maren said,
38
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.359
told my space and speak my mind. But I loved
39
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.159
comedy and I thought I could do that in comedy.
40
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.239
I saw it as a sort of noble undertaking the
41
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.400
only rules of comedy. The only text is you should
42
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.879
be funny. But outside of that, you can do whatever
43
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.200
you really want on the stage and you get the range.
44
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.239
I was annoying him. Eventually he was like, I don't
45
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.599
need to take this from you and Screwmaron, but I
46
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.599
get it. Ahead of the No Kings rallies, Joe Rogan
47
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.360
claimed that protesters across the country were either losers, actors
48
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.919
paid by liberal billionaire George Soros, or undercover federal agents.
49
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.919
Joe Rogan said this on Wednesdays, Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan said,
50
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.879
all those people that are protesting on the streets, ninety
51
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.800
nine percent of them are losers. The other ones work
52
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.319
for the Fed. It's FBI agents and losers. That's all
53
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.560
it is. So if you were out yesterday, you're a
54
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.199
loser or an FBI agent or being paid by George Soros.
55
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.400
Brogan continued, this is a guy with a van who's
56
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.280
paid by George Soros, and he's got stacks of signs
57
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.560
that were made of Kinkos. They're not homemade at all.
58
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.599
You can just pass those bad boys out In San Francisco,
59
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.840
Camille on Gianni and Alana Glazer roptly withdrew from their
60
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.639
scheduled performances at Dreamforce. Dream Force is the annual tech
61
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.000
conference held by Salesforce. Salesforce announced on Thursday that, due
62
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.400
to unforeseen circumstances, Kamil Nanchi and Alana Glazer are no
63
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.479
longer able to perform. They did not elaborate. They had
64
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.319
been scheduled to headline the closing day festivities of the
65
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.319
three day event, which drew forty five thousand attendees to
66
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.680
the Moscone Center in San fran A source close to
67
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.800
Salesforce told the San Francisco Chronicle that Nancianni became ill
68
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.199
and couldn't perform, prompting Glazer his scheduled opener to cancel
69
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:27.240
as well. Interesting why didn't she just perform? Well, some
70
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.560
people think it's because hours earlier, venture capitalist Ron Conway
71
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.080
had resigned from the sales Force Foundation board. Why did
72
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.400
he resign? He said that the values of the CEO
73
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.240
were no longer aligned. The CEO had expressed support for
74
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.719
a notable politician who wanted the National Guard to be
75
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.000
deployed to San Francisco. You know that guy. I'm trying
76
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.039
not to be political here. They keep making me do
77
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.479
it so the board guys upset with the CEO guy,
78
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.599
and Kamal Gianni happened to get sick, and Ali Glazer
79
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.280
happened to decide she wouldn't perform because the headliner wasn't coming.
80
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.919
Neither non Jihanni nor Glazer has addressed the reasons for
81
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.560
their cancelations. Salesforce replaced both of them with David Spade
82
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.160
the San Francisco Standard. While neither performer has publicly criticized
83
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.480
the CEO or Salesforce, they've both been outspoken about unfair
84
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.920
labor practices in the entertainment industry, anti immigration rhetoric, and
85
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.800
the Israel Palestine conflict. The Standard ads that Origin Public Relations,
86
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.720
which represents both non Jihanni and Glazier, did not respond
87
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.839
to requests for comments. Metallica did perform on Wednesday, and
88
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.920
you may recall last year at this same conference, John
89
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.079
Mulaney was your headliner. Here's a story that I've bounced
90
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.240
about thirty times in these last three weeks. I don't
91
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.959
know if you heard. There was Kimmelgate and then the
92
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.040
Rion Comedy Festival. I never got to talk to you
93
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.639
about David Letterman reacting to Cobert Gate Vulture Ascid Letterman
94
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.120
how he felt about CBS essentially flushing away something you created,
95
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.639
and Dave said, well, before we discuss something we started
96
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.720
and created. I'm not sure that's accurate in my case.
97
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.000
Remember Jack Rollins, who was my manager forever, one day
98
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.519
saying to me, David, it's like a paper cup. You
99
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.040
have a drink of water, then you crumple it up
100
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:10.959
and throw it away. And everything Jack provided for me
101
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:12.759
in my life, that's the silly thing that's stuck with me.
102
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.680
Try to hang on to that. Everything changes, There's a
103
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.240
time and place for everything. So it didn't even dawn
104
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.079
on me when Steven announced that he was being taken
105
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.920
off the air, that the whole franchise was gone. The
106
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.199
more I thought of it, clearly was mishandled. It clearly
107
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.120
was not always bleeding money. There are ways to make money,
108
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.800
there are ways to hide money. I mean, I spent
109
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.879
most of my life hiding my money in Panama. You know,
110
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.519
we all know that CBS could have figured that out
111
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:34.360
and to unload him after they made a deal with
112
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.600
the administration for sixty minutes it smelled bad. Let's just
113
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.439
take them at their word. It now, it didn't smell bad.
114
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.639
We're losing money, okay, but find a way to make
115
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.120
it not smell bad. It just looked ridiculous, but it's
116
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.800
no surprise. I remember Jay Leno used to say to
117
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.759
me when we were going ahead to add Nah, this
118
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.519
plenty of room, this room for both of us, and
119
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.720
I kept thinking, well, no, there's not room for both
120
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.839
of us. Then suddenly there were three shows and maybe more.
121
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.920
But as we're seeing now, there really isn't much room
122
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.800
left for anybody. The format will always exist, just for
123
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.040
not a network TV any longer because it's dirt cheap
124
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.560
to produce compared to Brian Time programmings and half hour
125
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.879
comedies and such. Out today on the eight hundred pound
126
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.480
Gerrilla YouTube channel, It's the best of Hit in America
127
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.240
with Jodah Ray. Adam Sandler was seen at the University
128
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.959
of Kentucky. He stopped by basketball practice, as he tends
129
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.360
to do. Both the men's and women's team posted pictures
130
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.680
of Adam Sandler talking to the players and coaches for
131
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.800
both teams. Sandler was given a jersey by the men's team.
132
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.160
He must have a ton of jerseys at this point.
133
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.240
Sandler hooked up both teams with tickets to his show,
134
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.160
So that means there must have been how many people
135
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.720
on our basketball team fifteen twenty, Let's say fifteen. Some
136
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.800
coaches say there's three coaches, so there must have been
137
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.560
like forty unsold tickets to Adam Sandler's show. The La
138
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.800
Times both to comedian CP, who said, your jokes are
139
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.079
like your wardrobe. Won't you buy a shirt that's your shirt?
140
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.319
You own that shirt until you basically get rid of it.
141
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.360
Sometimes you might be a little big for that shirt.
142
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.240
It doesn't fit right. You need to work out. That's
143
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.920
how jokes are. He was referring to a joke he
144
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.920
first started to write twelve years ago. He works with
145
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.720
Kevin Hart and said, when you first meet Kevi and
146
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.600
he knows you're already familiar with your work and understands
147
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.680
your potential because he's been there as someone with potential
148
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.839
before it was realized. It's actually easier to talk to
149
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:11.600
someone like that and relate to them than most people
150
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.959
would think. He doesn't need to hate on anybody. It's
151
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.959
really like a proud of people like you in your position.
152
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.480
Here's what I can do to help. CEP says, I
153
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.240
want to be the comedian who takes it to the
154
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.199
next level when Kevin Hart is ready to pass the
155
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.519
torch too. Ma. Any comedians are free to say that
156
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.600
or let that be the goal. We have to be
157
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.079
honest about what we're trying to do. If you just
158
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:29.639
want to be a comedian to get a couple dollars
159
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.759
and get some attention, that's one thing. But I see
160
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.560
it as a thing where the sky is the limit.
161
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.120
Style Wise, he says, I do the same show whether
162
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.560
it's two people or two thousand people. I need the reps.
163
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:39.720
I need to know that I can do this no
164
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.399
matter what. Similar to someone who's freestyle wrapping. If you
165
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.319
don't use that muscle, you're gonna lose it. And today
166
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.399
is Sunday, which means theoretically Bob's Burgers is on TV.
167
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.399
If you're a longtime listener, you know where this is
168
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.439
going to go. But a lot of new listeners have
169
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.439
started listening. Now, new listeners, I'm gonna ask you two questions.
170
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.519
You're gonna think these questions are crazy, but I want
171
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.240
you to think them. Okay. Question number one, have you
172
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.920
ever seen Bob's Burgers? You haven't, No one has. And
173
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.959
here's the really weird one question number two, have you
174
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.360
ever met anyone who's seen Bob's Burgers? You have it now?
175
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.600
Isn't that weird? Because the show apparently has three hundred
176
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.600
episodes now, and yet you've never seen it. You've never
177
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.720
met anyone whos seen it. Let me ask you a question.
178
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.639
What time is it on? I know we all think
179
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.720
it's on Fox, but what time is it on? See?
180
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.120
Here's the thing. The show does not exist. I'm a
181
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.759
longtime comedy watcher. I've never seen it. I've never met
182
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.039
anyone who's seen it. Now, you're like John, there's clearly artwork,
183
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.159
we've seen it. Oh, there's artwork, there's merch, there's a
184
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.919
whole industry around the hoax. I get it, But there's
185
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.960
no such show as Bob's Burgers. Does Fox promote it? Sure,
186
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.759
they say it's coming on after the Simpsons, but they
187
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.759
know we've all stopped watching the Simpsons twenty five years ago.
188
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.519
Now at this point, they probably make like four minutes
189
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.759
of a new Simpsons episode, knowing we're all switching over
190
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.039
to NBC to watch football. No one is watching Fox
191
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.600
on Sunday night, So they just promote stuff, and then
192
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.639
who even knows what's on. If you remember tonight, switch
193
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.320
over to Fox and let me know if Bob's Burgers
194
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.120
is there. It's not, I dareia. Anyway, the Bob's Burgers
195
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.679
folks were celebrating three hundred episodes. Really three hundred Bob's
196
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.799
Burgers supposedly premiered in twenty eleven. Now some of you,
197
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.039
I got it. You're like John, you sound crazy? Okay?
198
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.879
Why don't you google Eugene Merman hoax? Eugene Mermann supposedly
199
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.360
a voice on Bob's Burgers. Eugene Merman hoax. The first
200
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.960
thing that comes up the Eugene Merman Fake Comedy Festival.
201
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.399
Then I get an AI overview saying the Eugene Merman
202
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.200
hoax likely refers to a series of social media posts
203
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:42.440
where Eugene Merman playfully discusses various hoaxes or conspiracies. So
204
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:46.320
he's a prankster. Why don't you google Kristin Shall, who
205
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:47.960
I got to know a little bit during my serious
206
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.320
XM days. You know how I first met Kristin Shall.
207
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.360
She won the Andy Kaufman Award. And what is Andy
208
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:58.720
Kaufman known for? Hoaxes? Put ons things that seem real
209
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.080
that aren't say, for example, perhaps possibly maybe Bob's Burgers.
210
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.279
You see where I'm going here again? Have you ever
211
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.799
seen the show? Have you ever met anyone who's seen
212
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:14.480
the show? Anyway, congratulations to Bob's Burgers on three hundred episodes.
213
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:18.279
M M. This was actually episode one million of this podcast,
214
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.960
so thank you for listening and I will see you
215
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:20.279
