00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.119
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.519
Busy one today. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:14.880
comedy news. Took me quite a while to put this

4
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.440
one together, and I even moved some stuff into the future.

5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.559
So let's just jump right in. John Mulaney's talk show

6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.960
is back next week. Somehow sort of sneaking up on everybody,

7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.280
least knuck up on me. But here it comes. Mulaney

8
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.679
said he never wanted to host a talk show, but

9
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.439
he has released a trailer. I have to give you

10
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.119
the visual here. So John is standing in a parking

11
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.000
lot and we're seeing the point of view from like

12
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.079
a drone. So John is far away, and the discussion

13
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.799
is how should the promo be filmed? It's a little deconstructionist.

14
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.439
So again, picture you're looking down from on high and

15
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.920
John Mulaney is somewhere down there in a parking lot.

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:01:03.200
Let's listen, let me know, let me know when you're

17
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:09.840
tight enough that I should say the line is something

18
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:11.760
gonna cue me when I just want to be tight

19
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:19.519
enough to saying the line makes sense? Okay, And Everybody's

20
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:31.680
Live is on Wednesdays Live. Okay, So I wait. At twenty,

21
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.879
I counted to five myself. So just after you call

22
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.079
out twenty, I'll count to five.

23
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.200
And as you heard, the abruptly cut to music. So

24
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.840
it's got you know that Letterman Cone in twelve thirty

25
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.840
kind of vibe there, like where he's going. During the trailer,

26
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.120
he puts on a pair of sunglasses like David Caruso,

27
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.640
and then takes them off again like David Caruso. Everybody's

28
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.319
Live with John Mulaney's now what it's called March twelve.

29
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.480
That'll run for twelve consecutive wednesdays. That I got to

30
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.920
hang out with the trivia guys and or play volleyball

31
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.480
and then come home and watch mullaney. It's a lot

32
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.000
of work. I'm just trying to do a podcast here.

33
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.639
Oh poor me, I have to come home and watch

34
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.800
Netflix for an hour. Life is so hard doing your podcast, John,

35
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.680
I feel so bad for you. Richard Kine returns as

36
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.199
John mulanie's mc M'LINI said the first ever celebrity sit

37
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.280
down talk show. There's absolutely nothing new about what I'm doing.

38
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.199
By taking a lot of elements other people have already

39
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.039
done and doing them out of order, it feels new,

40
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.319
and that's what's important. Andrew Schultz said, a big profile

41
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.639
in the La Times, a lot of Schultz press. I'll

42
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.080
break that apart for the next oh, probably six days.

43
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.599
It'll take me to get through all this the La Times.

44
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.000
I was curious why Andrew had Trump on his podcast

45
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.319
since the podcast is not political in any way at all.

46
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.479
And Andrew said, no, not really. What do you think

47
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.479
comedy helped get Trump elected? Andrew? Do you mean Trump

48
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.319
going on the podcast Times, well, specifically comedy podcast. Trump

49
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.960
went on several shows, including Your Flagrant Podcast as well

50
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.560
as Rogan and Theo. Andrew, I have a maybe more

51
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.439
humbled than some, which is that I don't think it

52
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.439
influenced the election at all. I think people were going

53
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.240
to vote this way no matter what, and I think

54
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.479
seeing him on certain podcasts made them feel more comfortable

55
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.280
voicing how they were already going to vote. I don't

56
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.240
think very many people were like watching Trump on Mine

57
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.919
or Robo or Theo and then flipped on him one

58
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.840
hundred percent. It's just me. I don't know if we

59
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.680
have that kind of power. But what he might do

60
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.879
is make you feel more confident in publicly sharing how

61
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.199
you feel about Trump, right because maybe in those situations

62
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.080
he feels a little less radioactive. Schultz. I don't really

63
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.840
care about politics. I just care about culture. But sometimes

64
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.759
politics is the reflection of culture. That's when I start

65
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.479
to kind of key in on it. Now the pendulum

66
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.120
is swung the other way, so we're like out of

67
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.159
the censorship area. When we're in a censorship ere comedians

68
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.039
are usually the first ones to complain about it because

69
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.360
it kind of affects the way we do our thing,

70
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.560
and that's happened throughout history, and usually you get like

71
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.159
really prolific comedians that come out of those times, Carlin

72
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.360
being one of them. I mean, even Eddie Murphy, you know,

73
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.879
like people in prior the way that they would talk

74
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.520
about him, like I can't believe he's saying these things.

75
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.639
This is so crazy. So I think censorship in a

76
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.879
way is kind of good for comedy. But comedians speak

77
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.000
about it, and then comedy's having a boom, and that's

78
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.439
a reflection of the most influential person on the planet,

79
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.360
Joe Rowe and being a comedian and loving comedians and

80
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.719
putting comedy at the forefront of his interest. There's also

81
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.159
like a social media aspect and where it's like everybody

82
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.080
wants a funny tweet, a funny picture of funny meme.

83
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.080
There's like currency and being funny. You know, it's kind

84
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.400
of like the perfect storm. Times asked what was the

85
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.240
hardest part in prepping for the interview with Trump? Good question,

86
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.759
Andrews said, for me, just that I want to understand

87
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.439
who he is. So I spoke to some people close

88
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.079
to him. I spoke to Dana White for a while,

89
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.560
and I spoke to Don Junior for a while, and

90
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.519
I just said, tell me a story. I want personal stories,

91
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:26.879
Like tell me your relationship. Like you don't have to

92
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.360
tell me who he is or who you think he is,

93
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.319
Like tell me moments that have happened between you guys.

94
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.600
La Times, what was the goal of the Trump interview

95
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:33.759
when you went into it. Did you feel like you

96
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.639
accomplished it? Schultz? The goal was like the goal with

97
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.120
every person I sit down with. I don't want to

98
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.720
tooot our own horn on the pod, but I think

99
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.360
we got the best interview with a lot of people,

100
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.160
specifically because we're just trying to find out who you

101
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.720
are and make you comfortable enough to hang with us.

102
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.439
We're just trying to have the best hang on the internet.

103
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.560
That's it. I hate that I have I hate that

104
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.519
I even have to mention this. It's so stupid. We

105
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.800
offered tons of Democrats to come on, but you know

106
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.120
they didn't. Mark Cuban came on. I'll say that, and

107
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.279
then Cuban was trying to push more Democrats to come on.

108
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.600
He's a big surrogate for Kamala. Good followup by the

109
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.800
light time. Did they give a reason as for their no? Andrew?

110
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.360
I think they're in a situation where they're playing like

111
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.120
a little bit of prevent defense. And I think it's

112
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.920
a tricky thing. Again, I speak about these things culturally.

113
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.120
I don't really understand politics, but I can just understand

114
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.759
the people's reaction to things. I think Americans like risk.

115
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.120
We like people who are going to take a risk.

116
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.240
I think that they were seduced by Bernie Sanders because

117
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.040
he looked like he was taking risks. He was out

118
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.319
there like f the billionaires, f these big corporations, they're

119
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:22.759
taking your money. I want to get your money back,

120
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.800
and all of us were like, yo, he's gonna get killed,

121
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.040
like this guy's fire. I think that's the tricky thing

122
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.480
for the Democrats. They could win this so easily if

123
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.199
they made this about class. If they made it a

124
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.560
class war, they'd win in a heartbeat. It's so easy.

125
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.079
But it seems like they're not willing to do that

126
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.120
because I think they have very wealthy people donating a

127
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.879
lot of money to them. They don't want to ruffle

128
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.319
those feathers. So I have to make it about identity

129
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.480
politics because it's the only other thing they would win

130
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.160
in a heartbeat if they mad it about class. I

131
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.240
think you need a young Bernie. Look at AOC again.

132
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.839
I don't care what you think about her politics, but

133
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.519
there are people in her district voted for her and Trump,

134
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.560
and I think that's because people see her as working

135
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.839
class and actually want to help the working class, regardless

136
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.040
if you think your philosophy is right about it. He

137
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.720
talked about the Brilliant Idiots podcast he does with Charlamagne. Dude.

138
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.199
It's the best. We've been doing this over for ten

139
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.360
years and now he's always been this crazy superstar and

140
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.240
maybe I've gotten a little bit bigger. But then you

141
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.439
can see the political websites looking or stuff and basically

142
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.040
watching the pod and they're like clipping it. But the

143
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.600
thing I like about it is here we are these

144
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.680
guys that like we might disagree in terms of politics

145
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.279
about some things, we're friends for over a decade. It's

146
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:18.839
just the proof that we don't need America to be

147
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.079
so divided. We hate each other and we're about to fight,

148
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.720
but we can actually be best friends and we could

149
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.800
talk smack in, you know, do whatever we've been doing

150
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.879
for ten years. In the podcast, while also disagreeing slightly,

151
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.439
really great stuff there. The Hollywood Reporter had a similar interview, again,

152
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.120
how much time have I spent on Andrew? Ready? I

153
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.160
want to keep moving, but this leads into what I

154
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.920
want to talk about next. Andrew talked about how he

155
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.480
approached his new special and said, I've never been personal

156
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.040
and I've never told stories. I had to learn what

157
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.639
a story was. I read all these books about storytelling,

158
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.600
you name it, I read it, and I even bought

159
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.639
these cards from Instagram with like storytelling tactics. I wanted

160
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.680
to figure out what makes this stuff work? Why are

161
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.160
some stories good? Why are some boring? And it's the

162
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.040
thing unfolded. I was like, Okay, what if I just

163
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.160
told one story? But I never wanted to tell anybody

164
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.160
it was one story because I didn't want the one

165
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.319
man show expectation. So that leads me to my commentary.

166
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.360
I had some time the other night and I was like, oh,

167
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.720
I'm hearing good things about Andrew Schultz special. Let me

168
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.000
watch it. And I started to play it, and the

169
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.959
note I had before I saw this Hollywood Reporter interview

170
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.480
was I didn't like the storytelling. It didn't work for me.

171
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.240
His opening joke is, okay, it is about Chicago. I

172
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.360
won't spoil it, but I personally have been making that

173
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.839
joke since the nineties, at least half of it, and

174
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.199
the other half since the early part of this century.

175
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.879
So not an original joke. He did have a good

176
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.759
tag on it. Again, I don't want to spoil it.

177
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.680
If you saw it, it involved Chicago. That joke I

178
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.240
thought was really good. But then when he got into

179
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.959
the storytelling, I just I didn't care. Just it didn't

180
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.920
hook me. I lasted seven minutes, which is usually when

181
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.199
my comedy special Spidey sense kicks in. Again. Maybe the

182
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.720
last fifty three minutes or whatever it is is awesome,

183
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.480
that's not my problem. I'm a dude in a chair

184
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.040
with her remote and I fum board. I'm out. So

185
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.480
I was like, all right, let me watch some comedy

186
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.480
specials since I blocked out the time. Next, I clicked

187
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.720
on rosebud Baker's special. I was excited about that one,

188
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.439
and she lost me really early. If you're not familiar

189
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.639
with that special, the gimmick is she recorded some of

190
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.600
it while pregnant and some of it after having the baby.

191
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.040
And the way it's cut, it's going back and forth

192
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.319
like line by line. So you're watching it and she's pregnant,

193
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.360
and then the next scene she's not pregnant, and then

194
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.240
she's pregnant again, and then she's not pregnant again, and

195
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.080
my brain couldn't handle it, and I'm like, I'm out.

196
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.279
Did not last long at all. I'm like, all right,

197
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.320
what else is out there? Oh? Yeah, Lisa Traeger had

198
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.120
a special Netflix put in front of me. I clicked

199
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.320
on that. I liked her energy a lot. I thought

200
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.960
it was fun. I am a comedy snob. In case

201
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.279
you can't tell, is I'm just hating on everything this morning.

202
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.320
But I did think it was fun. I think at

203
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.840
its core it was fine. It won't make my end

204
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.639
of the year list. It's just fine. It's just another

205
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.159
comedy special. It's fine. But I did like her energy

206
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:02.639
a lot, and I'm like, all right, let me keep going.

207
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.440
Let me head over to Amazon and see this George

208
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.799
Lopez special that, as far as I could tell, George

209
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:12.039
Lopez did no promotion for Can I tell you here's

210
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:16.960
the word I'm using to describe it, horrific, Like George,

211
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.279
what are you doing? It's kind of like George taking

212
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.120
a victory lap. But how about some jokes? Dude, not

213
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.960
good at all? And I bailed and I'm like, all right,

214
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.240
surely somebody must have done a good comedy special I

215
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.559
could watch. I went over to Hulu and Hilarious Christa

216
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.080
Stefano was on, and the word I'm gonna use hack.

217
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:40.320
It's also tonally off brand for Hulu if I understand

218
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.399
the hilarious brand, and maybe I don't, and maybe the

219
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.000
publicist could get in touch with me and tell me

220
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.200
what it is. But if Christa Stefano special was on

221
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.399
Fox Nation, I'd be like, yeah, okay, this makes sense,

222
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.639
and I am saying that for reasons stay with me

223
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.919
for the rest of the podcast. But on Hulu it

224
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.799
was just kind of weird and off vibe. It felt

225
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.320
very Fox and also the jokes are ha, So I went, oh,

226
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.559
for five. Now you can say this podcast sucks, because

227
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.600
it probably does. You could say I have no idea

228
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.240
what I'm talking about, and I probably don't. But one

229
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.240
dude sitting in a comfy chair with a remote who

230
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.039
admits to being a comedy snob, oh for five. Chris

231
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.720
de Stefano has been talking a lot lately with Fox

232
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.240
News Digital. I see him coming up every day on

233
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.799
their site. Chris told Fox News Digital that men competing

234
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.399
in women's sports was a humongous issue for voters and

235
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.360
himself at the twenty four election. Chris believes listing men

236
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.039
competing in women's sports was the catalyst for many people

237
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.320
abandoning the Democratic Party in twenty four. Quoting Chris, I

238
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.519
think also too, just like a big, big, big, big

239
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.039
big thing five bigs was for all of us, for

240
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.399
certain comedians and all that. I think the trans women

241
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.720
and sports thing was a humongous thing for voters because

242
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.799
the you know, left wanted to go with the narrative

243
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.600
that people are anti trans and people don't listen. There

244
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.320
are people who hate every group, for sure. I've never

245
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.840
met someone who wants to physically hurt someone because they're trans.

246
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.679
I think, like, especially in New York. I think trans

247
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.200
people are welcome, quoting Chris. I'm all for anybody's time

248
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.720
on this planet to be as useful as they want

249
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.080
it to be and as pleasurable as they want it

250
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.000
to be. I mean, you're only gonna live once. But

251
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.679
I think when the Democrats came out and we're like

252
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.360
championing you know, trans females and sports, you forgot about

253
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.200
like the actual women, and you forgot about like, hey,

254
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.960
I have daughters, Like I don't want to be competing

255
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.279
against someone who's born in Man just because they do

256
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.960
have physiological advantages. The Stefano proposed creating an all trans league,

257
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.679
quoting Chris, I want a trans league, for sure. I

258
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.480
would love that. But I want biological women to play

259
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.720
against biological women, and men to play against men, and

260
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.240
trans people to play with trans people. We're all for that.

261
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.039
Chris also felt that many people traditionally aligned with the

262
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.639
Democratic Party, like Joe Rogan, supported many of the party's causes,

263
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.720
but were completely disaffected by the party's willingness to support

264
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.480
men playing in women's sports, quoting Chris, again, I think

265
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.720
specifically on why a guy like Joe Rogan, and again

266
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:44.240
I don't know, I've never asked Joe about this, but

267
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.159
what I saw was this shift when we were saying, hey, wait,

268
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.159
this is crazy. I was with some of the other stuff,

269
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.519
but like, you can't be serious about this. Oh my,

270
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.080
I just checked the clock. I gonna have a long

271
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.320
one today. Wow. I want to talk about George Lopez,

272
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.879
his recent Amazon specials being just decribed by some people

273
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.200
as horrific. Well, he's getting into a new business. He

274
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.720
has partnered with Truly Original, a production company behind such

275
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.000
series as The Real Housewives of Atlanta and inc. Master.

276
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.000
George and those guys are going to develop a number

277
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.120
of unscripted projects that The first is a feature documentary

278
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.679
about Charlie Murphy. It is called Darkness The Charlie Murphy Story.

279
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.919
It will tell the story of Charlie Murphy, who died

280
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.679
in twenty seventeen from leukemia at age fifty seven. Vulture

281
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.879
had caught up with Bill Burr. He's in Glengarry Glenn Ross,

282
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.279
and Bill said, I get this guy, this good guy underneath,

283
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:33.799
but he just sw his mouth and rousey, which I

284
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.919
did too, And also I think he's right. Doesn't have

285
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.559
to be that way. It's funny that was written a

286
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.639
long time ago, showing the direction things are going in.

287
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.559
Have people just continue to squeeze people beneath them, and

288
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.000
how they get satisfaction out of that. A lot of

289
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.039
this new Robert Baronet's just wildly out of control in

290
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.559
every business. Meanwhile, we're selling crappy land. That's the other

291
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.159
thing I like about it. It's a human thing to

292
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.240
act righteous when you're not righteous. Bill talked about the

293
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.360
arts of giving grief to those you love, giving craps

294
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.000
an art because you got to feel love underneath it.

295
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.639
That's always out of communicator with people as far as

296
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.320
telling them and I like them, teasing them a little bit,

297
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.480
hope they're going to do it back to me. These

298
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.559
characters are like a bunch of comedians giving each other crap.

299
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.200
And then there's the top comic. When human beings get upset,

300
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.879
they say the exact opposite. I wouldn't be like I

301
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.639
actually really liked you, so when you say that to me,

302
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.039
that really hurts me. It's funny. His play was written

303
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.759
forty years ago and manage still not allowed to say that.

304
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.879
It's beyond uncomfortable, which is why we communicate in the

305
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.200
short bursts of insults that we do all right getting

306
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.720
along here. Let me bounce a couple things, But I

307
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.519
do want to tell you that JR. Da Guzman's special

308
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.440
is out today on the eight hundred to pound Guerrilla

309
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.799
YouTube channel, and the special, titled I'm Your Son, Papa Jr.

310
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:32.879
De Guzman shares and sings the true stories of his

311
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.519
Filipino American upbringing, filled with laughter, love, and the complexities

312
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:38.440
of family life. From R and B songs about Asian

313
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:43.000
masculinity and representation to smooth, sultry songs about division in America.

314
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.320
This special will heal you and heal the world. My

315
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:51.200
phone is blowing up. Apparently the New York Marathon did

316
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.120
you Get in? Announcement is happening at this hour. I

317
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.480
haven't heard one way or another. I'm texting with a

318
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.440
friend saying, I kind of hope I got to know,

319
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.159
because if you get a yes, then you actually have

320
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:02.600
to train for the thing and do it. If you

321
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.600
get to know, it's like, ah, you know I would

322
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.960
have ran them, Aratha, but you know they won't. Levy Ah.

323
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.919
There's a series out today on Hulu is called Deli Boys.

324
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.000
Seeing some good buzz on it. The av Club wrote,

325
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:14.679
like any good sitcom and need some room to grow.

326
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:16.679
Although it is solid bones from the get go, the

327
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:21.399
instant hook is spoilery, but two Pakistani American brothers find

328
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.639
themselves running a convenience store chain, only to learn that

329
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.879
the chain is actually a front to smuggle drugs. Raj

330
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.320
and Meir are thrust into the mafia. Underworld. Show runner

331
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.440
Michelle Nader grew up in South Philly and said, I'm

332
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.879
not from the rich side of Philly. I'm from South Philly.

333
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.000
So the sort of underbelly of Phillies my world. I

334
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.519
think we were attracted to that and what that looked

335
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:42.840
like beyond the doors of the Delhi, what's really going on?

336
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.639
I think Philly has that mystery to it. Interestingly enough,

337
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.720
all ten episodes were filmed in Chicago. We'll talk about

338
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.039
that in a second. The series is set in South

339
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.200
Philadelphia's Gray's Ferry neighborhood, a locale inspired by Serious. Creator

340
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.240
Abdullah Sayid said remembered a story I went to a

341
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.159
party when I was at Temple. Some friends had moved

342
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.919
into a house in South Philly. We went down there

343
00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:04.840
and it was a very dilapidated and dangerous neighborhood. We

344
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.639
were like you sure you guys want to live here.

345
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.480
Somebody then told me about Grace Ferry, the Forgotten Bottom.

346
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.000
That name always stayed with me. It felt like a

347
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.799
place where you could have a business that's a front

348
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.879
and nobody would notice. Now Block Club Chicago, they cover

349
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.759
Chicago and explain Chicago has stood in for many cities

350
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.320
in the history of film and TV. They were curious

351
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.080
why Deli Boys filmed in Chicago. Executive producer Jenny Conner

352
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.840
explained the tax break. Chicago's a very friendly place to film.

353
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.159
I'm making a joke, but really thank God for that

354
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.960
tax break. Sayid said, it was very important to us

355
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.360
that the show looks like Philly and Chicago really does,

356
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.679
not just visually but vibe wise. That's a working class

357
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:42.879
city that loves its sports teams and very down to earth.

358
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.679
Deli Boys out today on Hulu. I supposedly all ten episodes,

359
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.480
but it's Hulu. You know, you might get into like

360
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.159
you might watch the first nine and a half and

361
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.519
they're like, oh, sorry, the stream ended who has been

362
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.840
known to do that. I am still furious about that

363
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.480
whole Oscars thing. And from Bloody Disgusting dot com, you

364
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.679
know what's out cannibal comedian, that's right, and cannibal Comedian's

365
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.399
jokes kill literally. You'll find this on screen box the

366
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.360
log line. By day, Charlie serves killer meatball subs made

367
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.039
from unsuspecting travelers yuck. By night, he turns his victims

368
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.639
into dark comedy bits at the local club, but when

369
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.399
the owner tries to steal the twisted stick, he becomes

370
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.840
Charlie's next bloody punchline. It is cannibal comedian and that

371
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.720
is your comedy news for today. And I bumped like

372
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.080
seven stories. I don't have time to record other episodes.

373
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.480
Otherwise I could keep myself a week off, all right,

374
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:32.120
See tomorrow
