00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.839
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.679
daily comedy news. Download numbers continue to be really strong.
3
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.440
So I'd like to thank the FCC chairperson and of
4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.079
course the re Odd Comedy Festival for making it all possible.
5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.399
John Stewart was at the New Yorker Festival. Several topics
6
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.679
came up, including the Reodd Comedy Festival. Hey, I talked
7
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:29.879
about bourbon all weekend. There's only so much I could
8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.960
do here. These are the news stories. John was discussing
9
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.799
comics like Bill Burr and Louis c k who both
10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.439
performed at the Reod Comedy Festival. John Stewart said, so like,
11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:39.960
it's hard for me to watch that sort of thing.
12
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.320
It was like, I don't such other people's money. It's hard, man.
13
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:43.880
I thought the only person who should have done it
14
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.479
was Pete Davidson because they owe money. I want to
15
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.520
fix my house. I want to operate with integrity, but
16
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:49.920
I don't want to gate keep. I think a lot
17
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.399
of comics who came out and really crapped on those guys.
18
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:53.719
I know a couple of them, and I know they
19
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.119
actually like to be like garbage humans. So it's hard
20
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:57.479
for me to watch that sort of thing. I would
21
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:58.840
prefer if they would have just come out and said
22
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.719
it's money and not like a way to start conversation,
23
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.000
Like would you have started the conversation for twenty five
24
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.879
hundred dollars? That's the difference. Am I disappointed that Pete
25
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.079
Davison did it, Yes, but at least he was honest
26
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.719
about the reason. John continued, Look, I worked for Apple.
27
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.319
There are a lot of people who believe that Apple
28
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.760
is exploitative in a way that's horrific. Not me. I
29
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.959
love my friends at Apple Podcasts, especially the editorial team
30
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.439
that promotes podcasts great humanitarians, just want to say that.
31
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.079
John Stewart, however, said, you know, we all have our
32
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.719
lines that we're willing to cross. None of us are diogeties.
33
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.319
We get into a problem where we're unforgiving in any way.
34
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.319
We offer no grace. And that doesn't mean I don't
35
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.599
have lines that I draw, but that if people cross them,
36
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.680
I won't do. But I do try to not be
37
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.000
so rigid in the way that I think society has become.
38
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.079
The topic moved to Kimmelgate and Colbert Gate. John Stewart
39
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.840
said the comedians are not the victims of this administration.
40
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.480
We are a visible manifestation of certain things. But the
41
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.400
victims are the people that are struggling to have any
42
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.480
voice and are being forcibly removed from streets by hooded agents.
43
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.599
Those are the victims of this administration. Will John continue
44
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.560
to host the Daily Show one day a week. His
45
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.760
contract is up in December, he told the New Yorker Festival,
46
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.120
We're working on staying. Stuart said he plans to keep
47
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.240
fighting urges others to do the same. He says, you
48
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.000
don't compromise in what you do, and you do it
49
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.360
until they tell you to leave. As for the Kimmel suspension,
50
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.360
I think it rattled everyone to some extent, but it
51
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.759
also presented great opportunity, and so I don't know that
52
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.919
we've had as much fun as we did that Thursday morning,
53
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.000
coming up with all the super little stuff that you see,
54
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.000
including gold pictures and red ties. You know, it gave
55
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.159
us some purpose. As for Donald Trump, John Stewart said,
56
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.159
there's a reason Donald Trump came to power, and that
57
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.479
is in the general populace's mind, government no longer serves
58
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.960
the interests of the people it purports to represent. That's
59
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.840
a broad Bays deep feeling, and that helps when someone
60
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.840
comes along goes the system is rigged, and people go,
61
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.199
yeah it is. John struggled to name a national leader
62
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.000
for the Democrats right now. Audience members suggested that leader
63
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.319
could be John Stewart himself. John said, if we really
64
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.840
got to that point, it's also a function of frustration,
65
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.400
a cry of disperation, other I'm none of the above.
66
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.840
The Democratic parties right for what happened to the Republican
67
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.919
Party in twenty sixteen. But hopefully it'll be somebody who
68
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.919
uses that power for good and not for self a grant,
69
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.360
and not for their own gentrification. He discussed the No
70
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.840
King's rallies. When seven million people show up in America
71
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.039
on a weekend for anything, I mean, honestly anything. We're
72
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.080
not Russia and their history of autocracy or dictatorship. It's
73
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.400
an alien culture to us, and it's uncomfortable, and that
74
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.719
discomfort may be our saving grace. I don't think we're
75
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.560
gonna wear that well. And that doesn't mean we're not
76
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.400
going to be in some kind of soft autocracy where
77
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.199
news is controlled. But we have a lot of different
78
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.000
avenues and suppression creates opportunity, and a populace that is
79
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.919
thirsty for inspiration and leadership and morality and its egerity
80
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.719
that's fertile ground for that opportunity. John Oliver opened his
81
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.240
show Sunday night showing images of the White House demolition project.
82
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.719
John said those images are distressing, especially when you know
83
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.800
it's all to build a giant ballroom in a style
84
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.039
best described as medspa ver Sai, and yet the demolition
85
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.080
of the White House a metaphor that if anything is
86
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.400
too on the news was just the tip of Trump's
87
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.919
iceberg this week. Oliver then showed a news report where
88
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:53.680
Trump was trying to get two hundred and thirty million
89
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.120
dollars from the Justice Department. Oliver said, I should say
90
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.759
Trump has said he'd donate any settlement to in his words,
91
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.759
cheery or something. But incredibly we're still not done because
92
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.639
Trump also posted an AI video of himself dumping a
93
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.520
crap on No. King's protesters abandoned trade negotiations with Canada
94
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.680
after seeing a TV ad he didn't like, and authorized
95
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.599
a twenty billion dollar bailout to Argentina to insure that
96
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.759
their experiment with libertarianism works out. Oliver said the most
97
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.600
shocking move last week was the military strikes against the
98
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.439
fishing boats. Oliver said, I've watched enough Jagg to know
99
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.879
that the typical approach to drug boats is to intercept
100
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.600
them and arrest the suspects, not murder them with no
101
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.680
due process. And all of this is bad enough before
102
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.680
you learn that Trump is planning strikes on cartels by
103
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.600
land as well. He apparently plans to launch strikes on
104
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.519
suspected drug traffickers in Venezuela without congressional approval, saying We're
105
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.759
just gonna kill people. They're gonna be like dead. You know,
106
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.879
the kind of chilling statement you expect to hear from
107
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.240
a serial killer or the mastermind behind Panera Bridge charge limonades,
108
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.120
but not ideally the president of the United States. I'd
109
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.120
be happy to talk about Berbon again. I just said
110
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.439
there's no more Bourbon stories, Jim, do some press. David
111
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.079
Cross was asked by Vanity Face there's a big David
112
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.600
Cross article. I originally wasn't going to do any of
113
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.600
it today, but it kind of themes up here with
114
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.839
what we've been talking about, so I'll pull this part.
115
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.079
David Cross, what do you think about Kimmel Gate? And
116
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.199
cold bear gate. Cross said, it's awful, and it's because
117
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.519
there are a handful of people that want to make
118
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.480
billions and billions of dollars and the president is so
119
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.519
powerful that he can make life difficult, much like a
120
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.560
mob boss might make life difficult for these people. And
121
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.399
we've seen this time and time again. If you want
122
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:24.800
to do this thing, then you better give me a
123
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.199
piece quick pro quot stuff. Trump is the logical endpoint.
124
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.759
But something like this has been in place for a
125
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.839
long time. It's just people out morals or ethics, or
126
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.759
I should say they have morals and ethics. They're just
127
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.399
very crappy. It's about money, you know. It's unfortunately a
128
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.560
part of the country we set up for ourselves. Again,
129
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.519
the steps have been taken towards this, not just Trump.
130
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.040
Trump's just the right guy at the right time. David
131
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.759
Cross was asked what can comedians, artists, every day people,
132
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.199
what can you do? Cross said, you know what, I've
133
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.319
been really emboldened by this No King's movement. All the
134
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:51.879
other stuff goes in one ear. We don't have the
135
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.879
bandwidth process at all. It's concentrame of outragious garbage and lies.
136
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.399
No Kings cuts through all that. My hope is that
137
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.000
people will start to wake up to the idea that
138
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.439
all this crap on Fox News and Newsmax and America
139
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.199
First or whatever saying these things that protesters or anti
140
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.399
America and their terrorists. I mean, these are your neighbors
141
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.360
and there's no violence. Its people from all walks of
142
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.000
life going no, we don't want this, We're not going
143
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.680
to accept this. It deflates the Trump administration in a
144
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.560
real way. I had this whole podcast gate thing. I
145
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:16.959
want to do, all right, I guess today's going to
146
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.399
be a long episode. I bounced this a few times
147
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.240
already because there's so much going on. Me let me
148
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.000
talk about this. So remember the Golden Globes podcast awards.
149
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.000
So the newsletter Like and Subscribe looked into this. They
150
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.000
say they emailed the Shots podcast Network CEO, who has
151
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.800
worked with Theovon's podcast and has been reported as his
152
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.920
manager in reputable outlets. So that person was asked about this,
153
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.160
and the newsletter said that person responded, I'm honored Theovon
154
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.279
is mentioned by the Golden Globes, but I have no
155
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.839
interest in engaging with them or commenting. The newsletter says,
156
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.000
several hours after the story was published, I heard from
157
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.839
Vaughn's publicist who said his client is still educating himself
158
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.680
about the globes and its process, adding theovon does not
159
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.519
have a manager and the person quoted is not authorized
160
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.000
to speak on theo's behalf, nor is involved with anything
161
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.000
related to THEO submission. That's interesting, the newsletter says. I
162
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.800
also hear multiple podcasters are still willing to bother with
163
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.560
the five hundred dollars fee to submit themselves for consideration
164
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.839
before the October three first deadline. Then there's the whole
165
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:15.720
thing I mentioned last week where you know you might
166
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.680
want to advertise. You know, it's good to advertise podcast,
167
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.160

Award Podcasting. Oh okay, fun paragraph here, the newsletter writes,
180
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.199
the Variety playbook here echoes what my colleague Richard Rushfield
181
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.000
the Ankler reported last year when the publication tried to
182
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.000
sell a new program around the Golden Globes quote throwing
183
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.000
an intimate little dinner for your candidate to which you
184
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.399
can invite thirty to forty guests who happened to be
185
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:23.040
Globes voters. Apparently that program was stopped. Continuing, they write
186
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.360
they can report, based on conversation with multiple sources, that
187
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.759
this was in fact the second top twenty five podcast
188
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:34.440
list after the first list inadvertently omitted several wildly popular podcasts.
189
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.320
I believe Conan is still not on the list. Nicky
190
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.679
Glazer will host this year's Golden Globes Gossip Connor Whispers
191
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.159
in the Street Gossip con probably Bopie Gossip conn Away.
192
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:53.399
Are the rumors meeting with Johnny Mackett's always a tree
193
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:59.399
gossip Connor Whisp business tree gossip, con probably bup gossip
194
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:06.600
Cone Macto. Pete Davidson just back for the Riod Comedy Festival.
195
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.000
He went to see some New York Giants football. Right,
196
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.919
He's from Staten Island. Obviously he'd be a New York
197
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.240
Giants fan. A guy his age should be a Giant. No, no, no, nope.
198
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:18.320
He was there to root for the Eagles. Yes. Pete Davidson,
199
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.600
seen wearing a green Eagles winter hat, not only dressed Eagles,
200
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.200
he made fun of the Giants by holding up a
201
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.200
fake gravestone that had the words rip g men written
202
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.759
on it. Pete did this during the fourth quarter of
203
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.559
the game. Heete was seen on the field before the
204
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:39.039
game taking in the warm ups. Eagles thirty eight, Giants twenty.
205
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.120
It was the second Eagles game Pete Davidson has been
206
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.080
seen at this season. I guess a couple of recent
207
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.080
Super Bowls helped Pete Davidson become an Eagles fan, But
208
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.039
who knows, maybe he grew up an Eagles fan. A
209
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.519
guy that age you think would like Eli Manning Era
210
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.519
Giants and the two Super Bowls there. Why do I know? Uh?
211
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.279
Nate Berghatzy on Gossip Corner he was spotted in Chicago.
212
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.240
He apparently stopped by Jake Melnick's corner chap, which sounds
213
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.360
like an awesome place. Apparently Nate was a server at
214
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.559
Jake Melnick's corner tap twenty years ago. On social media,
215
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.440
they said, welcome back to Chicago, Nate and the Big
216
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.559
Dumbies tour. Got that hashtag in there. Good job, thanks
217
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.559
for celebrating two jam Pack shows at the at United
218
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.519
Center with US at year old stomping grounds. They tagged
219
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.080
enough people that it made my radar so good job.
220
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.759
Social media person at Jake Milnick's corner tap did tell
221
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.600
you that Nate was going to be on the College
222
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.840
Football Show with ESPN on Saturday morning. He made his pick.
223
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.200
The undefeated Cougars were number eleven coming into the game
224
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.200
against the Iowa State Cyclones. Nate picked BYU. He said,
225
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.240
this is a business decision right here. I've got four
226
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:47.039
shows in Salt Lake City BYU, Baby BYU forty one.
227
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.480
Cyclones twenty seven out today on Netflix. Mo A Maare
228
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:56.399
his new special Wild World, his third for Netflix. I've
229
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.600
liked his other specials. The New Hour includes a celebration
230
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.679
of his Palestinian heritage, reflections on the birth of his son,
231
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.960
and a critical look at the TSA. In Chicago, the
232
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.240
night manager of the Laugh Factory was detained by federal
233
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:14.279
agents on Friday. According to NBC Chicago, this happened outside
234
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.919
the Laugh Factory of Chicago around nine to twenty am.
235
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.919
Chicago police responded to a call of a battery in progress.
236
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.960
NBC News reports upon arrival, they observed federal agents engaged
237
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.279
in a physical altercation with two individuals. There's a video
238
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.279
that shows a crowd gathering as masked agents in camouflage
239
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.879
uniforms marked police russell with two people as Chicago Police
