1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.039
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.000
John Mullaney's talk show is back. It's now called Everybody's

3
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.399
Live with John Mullaney. It'll premiere in March twelfth at

4
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.120
ten pm Eastern. It will air weekly for twelve consecutive weeks.

5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.960
Mlanie said, we will be live globally with no delay.

6
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.640
Will never be relevant, will never be your source for news.

7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.799
We will always be reckless. Netflix will always provide us

8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:34.719
with data that we will ignore. Now, I forgot to

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.840
check what day of the week March twelfth is. It

10
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.960
is a Wednesday, so this will be your Wednesday night watch.

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.119
But Johnny Mack is not up at ten pm, so

12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.799
this will be my Thursday evening watch. I am up

13
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.520
at ten pm, but I'm not up at eleven pm,

14
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.399
and I'm not starting a show at ten pm. That's

15
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.880
how I roll. Plus Wednesday's Trivia Night. And you know,

16
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:53.479
I might have had a beverage or two. Maybe I'm

17
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.640
a little sleepy. It happens, you know. By the way,

18
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.799
second place this week, we're having a great twenty twenty five.

19
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.880
We've got two seconds and a first and an eleventh.

20
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.159
But we don't talk about that. We also have a

21
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.200
Hey guys, it's cold and I don't feel like going

22
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.760
to the brewery tonight. We had one of those I digress.

23
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.400
Just like the previous show, Everybody's in LA. Everybody's Live,

24
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.519
We'll tape in Los Angeles. But I guess they changed

25
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.439
the name to free themselves up of the geographic anchor.

26
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.560
Everybody's in LA will feature a couch of eclectic guests

27
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.359
live your phone calls. Oh guys, he didn't take my note?

28
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.239
Was that segment just doesn't work? Richard Kind and same

29
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.879
Oh the food delivery robot. Malaney says this will be

30
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.159
the one place where you could see Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting

31
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.599
next to Nicky Glazer sitting next to a family therapist,

32
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.519
with music by Mannekin Pussy, which thankfully is an actual band.

33
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.439
So I don't have to explain to my wife why

34
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.719
were you in the basement looking up Mannequin Pussy. Well,

35
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.400
you see, honey, they're an American punk and indie rock

36
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.200
band from Philadelphia, formed in twenty ten. You may know

37
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.760
them from their twenty sixteen album Romantic. So I don't

38
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.840
know what you think I'm doing down here. I'm recording

39
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.200
a comedy podcast. Laney continued, that's just a brief sampling

40
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:58.719
of guests. We don't know if we can lock in

41
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.120
Manneck and Pussy, but we're into with them. I love

42
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.920
this next line. He said, this is a really fun experiment.

43
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.159
Not since Harry and Megan has Netflix given more money

44
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.759
to someone without a specific plan. Ah, that'll make for

45
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.639
a good episode of Palace Intrigue. That's the podcast about

46
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.639
the Royal family that I'm the writer on, and it's

47
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.719
one of those shows you get commercial free if you

48
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.520
do the ad free thing that you know you hear

49
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.120
the two people talking about Maline. He talked about the

50
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.759
previous version of the show and said, you know, we

51
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.879
had a hypnotist, we had an expert on coyotes in

52
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.759
Los Angeles. We had a palm tree expert, we had

53
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.800
an earthquake expert. We covered most all natural disasters that

54
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.759
take place in California except for one. We just weren't ready.

55
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.439
Apparently that remark did play well in the room. Maline said,

56
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.479
it's one of those shows that neither Netflix nor I

57
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.560
really needed to do. I never wanted a host a

58
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.039
talk show, and they were getting out of the talk

59
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.240
show game. It was the perfect moment to do this.

60
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.599
So twelve weeks it's apparently gotten a two season commitment.

61
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.159
No idea when the second season will happen, but you know,

62
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.639
twelve weeks, starting in March, you'll watch, Speaking of Los Angeles,

63
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.960
Tonight is the Comedy Gives Back fundraiser Love the top

64
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.360
of this line up here, pat oswalt Zach Galifanakis, Bob Odin, Kirk,

65
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.400
Bryan post Sayin, Doug Benson's on this, Dana gould Is

66
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.560
on this, and a bunch of others. The show benefits

67
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.599
the Comedy Gives Back Firefund, which helps comedians affected by

68
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.439
fires in Los Angeles. Terrible news from Netflix. Adam Sandler

69
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.000
is going to be in another movie now hopefully here.

70
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.360
Let me tell you about the movie and they'll tell

71
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.120
you what the hopefully is. It's a Noah Bomback movie

72
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:26.360
titled JA Kelly. The movie J Kelly features people like

73
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:31.599
George Clooney, Stacy Keach, Greta Gerwig, Laura Dern, Eve Houston,

74
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.120
who's Bono's daughter, Napple Baby, Emily Mortimer, and Adam Sandler. Now,

75
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.960
whatever you think of Adam Sandler, terrible comedic actor, but

76
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.240
he's not a Naple baby, and he is a good

77
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.639
dramatic actor. Maybe he's doing a dramatic role in Jay Kelly.

78
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.000
Maybe perhaps possibly Adam Sandler is taking my advice. Adam,

79
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.639
you go. I hope this is dramatic. Amy Schumer wants

80
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.919
us to talk about her. I'm not kidding. I know

81
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.280
I've been doing that all week. She wants us to

82
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.639
talk about her, to the point I already have stuff

83
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.960
for sad and Sunday and maybe Monday about how much

84
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.719
Amy Schumer wants us to talk about her. She was

85
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.199
on the Tonight Show. She's out promoting this movie kind

86
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.400
of Pregnant that's coming out, and she wants us to

87
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.080
talk about her. In today's installment of Amy Schumer wants

88
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.199
us to talk about she talked about and encounter with

89
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.560
Bradley Cooper who says to Amy, hey, I turned fifty

90
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.639
this year, and he says to me, Amy Schumer, you fifty,

91
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.399
And apparently that rubbed Amy Schumer the wrong way, as

92
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.680
she had just turned forty three. She spoke with Jimmy

93
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.879
Fallon about fans who say hurtful things to you by

94
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.680
accident when they're asking for pictures. They'd be like, Hi, sorry,

95
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.160
I know you just worked out and I'm like, no,

96
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.160
I didn't. I had some ramen and had a kick

97
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.279
so I'm sweating where They're like, I know you're not

98
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.600
wearing makeup, but I'm like, I'm wearing a lot of makeup.

99
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.600
Back to Bradley Cooper, Amy said, I tried to like

100
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.360
recover because whatever, I'm forty three, but you know, I'm like,

101
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.959
I will be fifty, she told Fallon. She ultimately replied, yeah, no,

102
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.920
I'm not Bradley. You know I'm not, but thank you

103
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.199
for thinking of me. Schumer said the question got to

104
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.879
her because we all want to be hot. This is

105
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.680
how bad people want to be hot. People literally run.

106
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.399
She made fun of joggers and peloton writers, saying they're

107
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.439
riding a bike to nowhere to the Wicked soundtrack. Amy

108
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.120
Schumer has a movie coming out in February. Bow and

109
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.639
Yang and Matt Rodgers are putting out a book. It's

110
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.319
called The Rules of Culture, Volume one, described as a

111
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.639
manifesto on culture and a Guinness World Records book for

112
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.439
queer people and straight girls who get it. The book

113
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.000
will feature over one hundred insightful, hilarious and utterly immutable

114
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.399
rules that govern culture in its current fragmented states. Yang

115
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.959
and Rogers said in a statement, I apparently they have

116
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.319
joined and become one entity. They have joined the Borg

117
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.000
resistance is futile. In their joint statement, they said culture

118
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:38.920
is a shattered mirror on the floor. This is our

119
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.639
attempt at gluing every shart of it back together, as

120
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.079
we will prove in this book. Culturists for you, culturists

121
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.120
for us, culturists for everyone. Never sure how a joint

122
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.920
statement works, but okay, whatever. Hey, if you're up in

123
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.040
the Massachusetts Arie, you might want to look out for

124
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.480
Matt Rife. He's been showing up at local clubs. A

125
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.959
week ago or so, he showed up at Fall Rivers

126
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.399
Belmont Club. Then in Tuesday he showed up at the

127
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.759
Society Coffee Bar for Whale City Comedy's latest pop up show.

128
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.000
Ashley Thatcher is the founder and director of Whale City Comedy,

129
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.360
and she said they went crazy. I never heard of

130
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.680
fifty person crowd be that loud. That's the best part

131
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.560
of the show for me. Apparently Rife is trying to

132
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.879
get as much stage time as possible, so that's why

133
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.279
he's coming to the South Coast. Whale City Comedy's mission

134
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.319
is to grow the local comedy scene beyond big cities

135
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.040
like Providence in Boston. Wal City's known for its lineup

136
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.120
of pop up shows and an annual five day comedy festival.

137
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.000
Thatcher said, I really love to highlight great local businesses

138
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.160
across the South Coast, so we can pop up anywhere,

139
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.000
from a batique in Westport to a coffee shop in Somerset,

140
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.560
to a brewery to an art gallery. It brings exposure

141
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.800
to these places while also creating a fun event. MOA.

142
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.519
Mayer's show mo is back very good show if he

143
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.519
didn't see season one. The Guardian writes how Moe has

144
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.600
found himself becoming one of the most prominent Palestinian voices

145
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.720
in the world. When they interviewed him, it was right

146
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.639
when the peace agreement came out, and most said, I

147
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.519
just got a flurry of text messages about it as

148
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.800
I came to my computer. It's literally teed up and

149
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.879
ready to go. Presumably look as a Palestinian man, we're

150
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.920
very suspicious of deals like this. I'm very hopeful that

151
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.560
it's honest and real and sincere, and that it will

152
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.439
lead to real positive change. I just have a lot

153
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.759
of skepticism. Whatever people are willing to literally say, Cee's fire,

154
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.079
it's over no more. That's always a positive thing. The

155
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.720
worry I have is just like it's been going on

156
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.120
for quite some time. I've seen this so many times.

157
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.519
I just really want for it to all truly end

158
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.480
and for Palestinians to have a real future there. The

159
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.920
BBC has apologized to staff members who felt they were

160
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.920
unable to raise complaints or concerns about Russell Brand's behavior

161
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.839
when he worked for the BBC. The BBC has published

162
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.040
the findings of an internal review into Russell's conduct when

163
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.120
he worked at BBC Radio between two thousand and six

164
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.439
and two thousand and eight. There had been a series

165
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.920
of accusations made against Russell Brand back in twenty twenty three.

166
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.000
One complaint related to Russell Brand urinating into a cup

167
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.879
during a show on BBC Radio two. The BBC acknowledged

168
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.040
that had been registered formally at the time, but admitted

169
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.439
it was quote not dealt with effect actively. Another part

170
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.680
of the report concerned in an allegation that Russell Brand had

171
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.639
exposed himself to a woman in the bathroom of the

172
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:10.879
BBC LA office. The investigation asserted that the incident was

173
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.959
fairly common knowledge in the LA office and was often

174
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.959
joked about. The report says what is clear is that

175
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.360
many BBC staff and freelancers, especially in more junior roles,

176
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.839
found Russell Brand demanding and difficult at work with and

177
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.000
his behavior extreme, but all felt that there was no

178
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.120
point in complaining as they believed they would not be

179
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.680
listened to, and rightly or wrongly, that Russell Brand is

180
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.600
a high profile presenter had the sport of station management.

181
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.320
A couple comments here for me, A don't know what happened.

182
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.720
B absolutely not being dismissive of the complaints. See personally

183
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.759
worked with Russell Brand once for twenty minutes. In those

184
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.360
twenty minutes, he was extremely professional and extremely charming. Again,

185
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.240
I want to be clear, I'm not being dismissive of

186
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:55.039
the complaints. D having been showbiz adjacent for some time,

187
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.080
a person who was at the point in their fame

188
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.399
that Russell Brand wants around the time of those complaints,

189
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.679
people get away with stuff welcome to show business and

190
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.240
not saying it's right. I'm just telling you it happens.

191
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.399
For example, say you're hosting Saturday Night Live, are you

192
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.399
allot of smoke in the theater because some people apparently

193
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.679
smoke while hosting Saturday Night Live. I'm on a website

194
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.039
here and I just looked up the Smoke Free Air

195
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.000
Act of two thousand and two, which protects the health

196
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.320
of New York City workers against the harmful effects of

197
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.240
secondhand smoke by making virtually all workplaces smoke free. So,

198
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.879
for example, say your job is you work the cameras

199
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.799
at a late night live comedy variety show that takes

200
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.039
place on Saturday nights. Say you work on one of those,

201
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.000
The New York State Clear Indoor Act of two thousand

202
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.879
and four impose state restrictions on smoking indoors. These acts

203
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.600
impact the following businesses and establishments all office buildings okay,

204
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.600
all private offices okay, All food service establishments, all bars,

205
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.159
membership associations, all areas of theaters. Also bank shopping, wall,

206
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.960
sports arenas, public transportation. So let me ask you. Say

207
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.320
you're hosting Saturday Night Live and you feel like smoking

208
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:08.600
on live national television inside a theater in New York City.

209
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:12.480
What happens to you? I don't know. Perhaps a large

210
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.320
fine was sent, Perhaps somebody spent ten days in jail,

211
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.679
and it just didn't get reported. I don't know what happens,

212
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.039
but I'm telling you, for the most part, you're sitting

213
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.720
there going, hey, should I tell so and so that

214
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.480
they can't smoke here in a theater in New York

215
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.399
City during our live variety show on Saturday night. My experience,

216
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.360
being show business jacent is going to be yes, let

217
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.919
it go. What are you gonna do? So let me

218
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.559
be clear. I don't know what happened with mister brand,

219
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.440
could have happened, didn't happen. Don't want to dismiss the people,

220
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.399
but when I read in a complaint from BBC that

221
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:46.559
staffers found no point in complaining that, I absolutely believe

222
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.399
that staffers would find no point in complaining. Ken Flora

223
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.159
is a comedian who helped create the Latin XL comedy show,

224
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.559
has passed away at age twenty eight. D L eight

225
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.399
Times reports that Ken's body was discovered at his home

226
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.559
at Tuesday afternoon around two p TMZ cites law enforcement

227
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.360
sources saying it appears Flora suffered cardiac arrest and no

228
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.480
foul play is suspected. His family posted on his Instagram

229
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.960
on Wednesday, it is with great sadness that we confirm

230
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.240
the untimely passing with our friend, brother and son, Kenny Flores.

231
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.679
Please respect our privacy at this time, as we're all

232
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.879
shocked and devastated by the loss. Flores had just filmed

233
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.360
a comedy special in December. It has not yet been released,

234
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.679
nore scheduled. According to The La Times, Joe Coy till

235
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.360
the La Times. I always check in on him. I

236
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.679
truly love this guy. I literally posted about a pick

237
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.600
of his tour schedule a couple days before he passed.

238
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.679
It's all so crazy, gave Iglacius till the La Times.

239
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.879
I feel honored to have spent time with Ken. Of

240
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.159
course he was hilarious, but above all he was kind,

241
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.720
respectful and fun to be around. He will be missed.

242
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.559
Matt Raife posted, you'll be missed brother. Ken Flores was

243
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.200
twenty eight. That's your comedy needs for today,
