00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.240
Callaroga Shark Media. Tony Hinchcliff is off the hook. Hi,

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.720
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. It is

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.480
seven thirty six am on Wednesday as I speak to

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.640
you right now. Things went late into the night. There

5
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.160
aren't all that many comedian reactions. Yes, especially the West

6
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.719
Coasters are probably asleep. Some things I did gather. James

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.359
Adomian on threads. Don't worry. All the Dick Cheney and

8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.719
Liz Cheney voters are going to come in any minute now.

9
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.399
Jono Zelai said, what if I told you there was

10
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.719
an even bigger pile of garbage. Liam mcinaney offered condolences

11
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.320
to Jim Gaffigan on losing the gig. Andy Kindler posted

12
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.679
several threads and tweets, one of them congratulations America, you

13
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.679
are officially the most wilfully stupidest country on Earth. I'm

14
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.280
not counting the people who have given up. It's not

15
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:55.479
your fault. Evil is winning. THEO Vaughn wrote, congratulations Donald Trump,

16
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.079
Robert F. Kennedy Junior and JD. Vance and your team,

17
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.000
and thank you Dana White for helping pot podcast contribute

18
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
to the political landscape. Never would have happened without you.

19
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.920
We invited all the candidates, but only three showed up. Yeah,

20
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.640
I'm wondering if Kamala's decision to go on SNL where

21
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.400
you're preaching it converted and not go to Rogan. We

22
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.079
might go back and look at that and wonder, you know,

23
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.519
the Rogan effect may have been there. I think there's

24
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.640
a lot more to it with this election, but not

25
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.680
doing Rogan, I'm not sure it was the smartest move.

26
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.400
Somewhere during the eleven PM hour, I remember that the

27
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.040
Daily Show was live and I was like, oh, I'll

28
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.159
check that out. And I switched over and they were

29
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.159
in commercial, and like, I get it. I get the business.

30
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.519
Believe me, I like running commercials. But I was like, oh,

31
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.599
you had this opportunity here and you're in commercial. And

32
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.599
I went back and I didn't bother checking it out again.

33
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.480
The folks over at late night or did? They recapped

34
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.439
it and said at first, Stuart only alluded to the

35
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.159
crushing results rolling into a studio audience that had been

36
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.040
deprived of the emerging truth. Their take is that it

37
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.239
looked as though Stuart and the staff had prepared for

38
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.480
the predicted uncertain outcome in the eleven pm hour, But yeah,

39
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.799
by eleven was kind of obvious what was going to happen.

40
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.439
Late Nighter said that they had serviceable bits, one with

41
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.879
Jordan Klepper wasting no time escaping Pennsylvania, where he had

42
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.719
been a fake located. Another with Michael Costa imitating John

43
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.800
King and Steve Cornecki at their magic walls, except they

44
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.680
were reporting on projected efforts by Rudy Giuliani to attempt

45
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.199
to steal another election, a bit that was increasingly unnecessary

46
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.719
as the show rolled on. Ronnie Chang had an unsuccessful bit,

47
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.000
says Late Nighter, because it was about undeclared voters, and yeah,

48
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.240
by eleven thirty, we kind of knew what was happening.

49
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.439
The weird thing of the night, Senator John Fetterman of

50
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:37.560
Pennsylvania was booked on the show. Stuart teased him as

51
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.719
a guest and said he'd be up next, and during

52
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.639
the commercial break, apparently Fetterman bailed. Stuart had a vamped

53
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.159
and Late Nighter said he surely regretted they had expanded

54
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.879
the show to an hour. Stuart wrapped it up by saying,

55
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.240
this isn't the end. I promise you, this is not

56
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:52.719
the end. We have to regroup, and we have to

57
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.599
continue the fight and continue to work day in and

58
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.000
day out to create a bitter society for our children,

59
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.319
for this world, for this country that we know is possible.

60
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.400
It's possible. A couple of quirky stories I saw in

61
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.599
the news from the New York Post. New York City

62
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:09.039
dog mayor election gets chaotic as crypto bros allegedly pay

63
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.960
for votes. That's right. It was the competition for honorary

64
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.919
New York City Dog Mayor. Enzo the Shitzu was taken

65
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.919
out of the race by owner Olivia, who told The

66
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.080
New York Post that the race had become too negative,

67
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.719
with crypto fans allegedly looking to buy votes. Apparently, the

68
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.439
Crypto bros were supporting bertrand the Pomeranian to market their

69
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.879
bert coin. Olivia said, they've taken the fun out of it.

70
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.520
And now about this one from the New York Post. Kamalaw,

71
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.280
an elephant at the National Zoo in DC, was euthanized

72
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.639
on Saturday after struggling with osteo arthritis for years. The

73
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.800
timing there caught the amusement of some on the internet.

74
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.800
One social media user wrote, Trump is real mad at

75
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.599
a genie right now. Another pointed out a bad omen

76
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.039
but for whom the elephant is named Kamala Shore, But

77
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.000
the elephant is the symbol of the Republicans. One person

78
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.240
joked even things out, I've euthanized a donkey named Donald's.

79
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.120
Another said, you know Trump's kicking himself right now because

80
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.280
he messed up his last wish on his monkey paw.

81
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.840
Others claimed it was justice for peanut of the squirrel.

82
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.040
There were some late endorsements. Joe Rogan released an episode

83
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.319
with Elon Musk Monday, pretty late in the day. Now,

84
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.279
my dog get me up all night, so I actually

85
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.639
listened to it on the overnight. Somehow got three hours

86
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.000
of podcasting, and that's how well I slept. Rogan announced

87
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.160
an endorsement for Donald Trump. Rogan explained his endorsement. He

88
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.720
said that his guest, Elon Musk, makes what I think

89
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.639
is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and

90
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.279
I agree with him every step of the way. Trump

91
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.959
said at a rally that Rogan's backing was great and

92
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.399
so nice. Well, Ferreal endorsed Kamala Harris, and some people

93
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.240
got annoyed at Will because he said this election is

94
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.839
going to be one of the closest in history. Your

95
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.120
vote will make the difference. Okay, fine, that's fair enough.

96
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.240
Then he tagged it with that means you, Gary, oh

97
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.120
blah blah blah, I'm just one person. Shut the f up, Gary.

98
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.199
Last time, only a few thousand votes kept Trump out

99
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.399
of office, and this time we will hold you personally responsible. Gary.

100
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.800
One social media user wrote, Democrats have now resorted to

101
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.439
physically threatening people to vote for Kamala. Another said Will

102
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.959
Ferrell's making it real tough for me to watch ELF

103
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.959
this season. Stormy Daniels is out there on her stand

104
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.720
up tour. Her opener is the hilariously named Greg Studley.

105
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.160
Yes I'm seven years old. Greg Studley spoke of Stormy

106
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.079
Daniel's comedy style and said, it's not traditional stand up,

107
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.839
no kidding, It's like funny storytelling, and she's got a

108
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.759
message with a little dash of politicism. She makes a

109
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.839
great connection. She's got that something. She's really smart and

110
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.800
you're going to be pleasantly surprised. The owner said it

111
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.360
took maybe a week to get it set up. It

112
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.560
was like three or four of the morning. Greg Studley

113
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.319
and I were talking and the next day, he's like,

114
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.240
she's interested. We started working out contract detales and dates.

115
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.160
The reaction of the booking a positive. The owner says,

116
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.360
everyone's surprised. I can't believe you got Stormy Daniels. Things

117
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.399
like this help establish us and we'll get her name

118
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.000
out there. That is true, I'm talking about it. Dudley said.

119
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.879
She knows how to perform and get on stage. There's

120
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.800
a lot of things that go into a live performance,

121
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.040
how you look and carry yourself. She knows how to perform. Meanwhile,

122
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.120
Harvey Epstein, I don't know how his election went. That's

123
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.480
the guy John mulaney parodied on Saturday Night Live. There's

124
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.879
a real guy actually named Harvey Epstein. When Harvey woke

125
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.199
up on Sunday, he said he had hundreds and hundreds

126
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.040
and hundreds of text messages telling him to watch SNL,

127
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.079
he told The New York Times. So I watched it,

128
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.639
and I'm like, hey, that's me. It was like ridiculously funny.

129
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.759
I couldn't stop laughing. Brooke Shields also waited on Saturday

130
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.720
Night Live. In one of the bumpers, John mulaney recreated

131
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.360
Brooke Shield's iconic Calvin Klin Jean's ad In case you

132
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.720
missed it, John Mulaney wore a red button down shirt,

133
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.000
dark denim jeans, and black boots, and he kicked one

134
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.720
foot into the air as he rested his palms on

135
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.040
the floor behind him. Brooke Shields posted mullany and herself

136
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.199
side by side on Instagram and said, I see no difference.

137
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.199
Nate Bergatsy is flooring at floor while you're hot. Now

138
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.680
he's going to be in a movie. Try Star Pictures

139
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:07.959
has preemptively acquired comedy Pitch the Breadwinner all Right, time out.

140
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:09.439
I don't even know where I was. I can't go

141
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.680
back and listen. I'm gonna pitch to you guys, a

142
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.199
Vince von movie. Here's how the movie goes. A guy

143
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.759
is trying to record his podcast in his basement. His

144
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.480
wife goes out for the day but doesn't tell him

145
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.480
that she scheduled the exterminator. So fine, he deals to

146
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.720
the exterminator and goes back to recording his podcast, but

147
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.800
she doesn't tell him that she's also scheduled the guy

148
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.800
that comes with a leaf blower to blow the lint

149
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.480
out of the dryer exhaust port, and he's trying to

150
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.360
record his podcast Where were we? What was I even

151
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.360
talking about? Nate Bergatzy. That's right, all right, Nate Burganzy

152
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.399
is going to star in a movie. Try Star Pictures

153
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.120
has preemptively acquired comedy pitch The Breadwinner. The Breadwinner is

154
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.360
in early development. Nate and a partner will write the script.

155
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.879
Nate will star in the movie. The plot is being

156
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.720
kept under wraps. Nate also has that Lorne Michael's Holiday

157
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.560
Special coming out December twenty fourth. He will also have

158
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.040
a book next May. I asked the publicist if I

159
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.040
could have him on. The publicist thought I was insane.

160
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.600
Speaking of movies, Chloe Fyneman, Patton Oswalt, and John McEnroe

161
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.759
have joined the cast of The Dink a Pickleball Comedy.

162
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:17.000
They joined Chris Parnell, Jake Johnson, Mary Steinbergeon Ed, Harris

163
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.839
ben Stiller and Tennis Great Andy Roddick. Adam Carolla told

164
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.920
the Rap he remembers the exact moment he wanted to

165
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.160
give stand up comedy a shot, and he has Jay

166
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.920
Leno to thank for it. What's the story here, John, Well?

167
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.839
You see, Adam Carolla was working construction back in the eighties.

168
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.000
It was at a house across the street from where

169
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.720
Jay Leno lived. Corolla told The Rap Jay would come

170
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.759
out at noon, get the newspaper, walk back in the

171
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.639
house dressed like Rodney Dangerfield his famous bathrobe, and I'm

172
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.519
across the street sweating my butt off, spreading stucco, and

173
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.320
I'm just looking at this guy's schedule, and I'm going,

174
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.240
I've been here since seven in the morning, I'm covered

175
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.240
with stucco, we haven't even broke for lunch yet. And

176
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.279
he's just getting his newspaper and goes back in the house.

177
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.559
I'm looking at this guy's schedule and I'm like, that's

178
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.480
a schedule for me. Sam Jay had a hot take

179
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.720
for Roy Wood Junior about hollow. The topic was that

180
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.120
one third of Americans think blackface is okay if it's

181
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.559
part of a Halloween costume. Sam Jay told Roywood Junior,

182
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.399
you gotta let kids do it. No kid wants to

183
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.879
not fully Halloween. You don't want to be a ninja

184
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:15.679
turtle up to hear and it's just your head sticking

185
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.720
out and you're like, it's me Antoine, but I'm really Michaelangelo.

186
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:23.399
Sam said she recently encountered blackface as a costume on Halloween, said, listen,

187
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.000
I have my friend this kid. He wanted to be

188
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:26.919
Kevin Garnett for Halloween, right, So he put on the

189
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.399
Kevin Garnett jersey. Then he went to his mother's makeup

190
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:30.799
and he was going to darken his face and his

191
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.000
parents were like, no, you can't do that. That's fensive

192
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.200
with black people. It was part of me that felt

193
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.960
bad for him because now he's just a white boy

194
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.720
and Kevin Garnett and he could have been that on

195
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.840
any day of the week from the Daily Mail. Like

196
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.039
comedians suing Steve Coogan's production company has told the High

197
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:48.840
Court obviously Steve copied elements of a sitcom. Joshua Rincoff,

198
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.200
also known as Harry Deansway, is claiming that Baby Cow

199
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.480
Production copied parts of the sitcom Shambles. Rnkoff created, wrote

200
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.600
and directed two series of Shambles and said producers working

201
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.840
on l Live at the Moth Club would have seen

202
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.879
some or all of his show and obviously copied both

203
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.759
the format and the distinctive elements of the sitcom. Live

204
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.639
at the Moth Club is set at a Rundown comedy club.

205
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.159
It includes real life comedians performing stand up and sketches.

206
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.559
Rinkoff claims that some of the characters in that show

207
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.799
are identical to those from his twenty thirteen web series

208
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.120
called Shambles, and that even the jokes are similar. A

209
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.480
representative of Baby Cow Production said they were unaware of

210
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.519
Shambles and argued that LATMC is a mockumentary, not a sitcom,

211
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.679
and one of its key features is that it presents

212
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.519
substantial passages of actual stand up, which Shambles does not.

213
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.360
And are you in Cleveland, Well, then hit up the

214
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.600
Cleveland Comedy Festival. I don't know why the Cleveland Comedy

215
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.360
Festival picked today. I think people might be distracted today. Well,

216
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.240
at least you'll have something to talk about, won't you.

217
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.080
The festival will be centered at Forest City Brewery at

218
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.840
twenty one to thirty five Columbus Road in Cleveland. You

219
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.519
know the place. I will not be the Cleveland Comedy

220
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.720
Festival because it's trivia night. I will be at the

221
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.200
Bow playing trivia. Had a disaster last week, finished like

222
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.919
third last, got a rebound. See you later, Trivia guys,

223
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:07.639
and everybody else. See you tomorrow.
