00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.000
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Jennie Mack with your daily
2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.720
comedy news. A daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians
3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.239
in the comedy industry. A sentence that the transcription algorithm
4
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.199
seems to really like. Kat Williams has a new special
5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.239
on Netflix. You know Netflix, can we not do this
6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.559
on Tuesday? I feel like Tuesday's just, for some reason,
7
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.440
the worst night to watch comedy specials. You think i'd
8
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.200
be home, but I was watching The Knicks last night,
9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:33.759
so I didn't get to this yet. But on Big
10
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.840
Boy TV, he said, let me explain something to you.
11
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.119
I'm not scared to say nothing. I'll say it. He
12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.159
was talking about his appearance in twenty twenty four in
13
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.719
the Club Shayshe podcast. You may remember that Cat Took
14
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.600
No Prisoners. He said that that appearance was carefully planned,
15
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.439
designed to provoke a reaction without fully detonating careers. Kat
16
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.079
explains the knockout punches were taken out. Kat was asked
17
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.399
about p Diddy parties. Kat said, people, indeed, do you ask,
18
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.200
how do you know goes on at the PDDY party?
19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.359
If you weren't at the pddy party, they would have
20
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.400
these parties in Hollywood Hills, and they'd have a parking
21
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.280
lot where they would shuttle people up, so everybody would
22
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.599
meet in this parking lot. They would send shuttles down.
23
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.079
I was never invited to the parties, but I was
24
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.719
invited to the parking lot because I knew the people
25
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.200
who were on the shuttle service. I'd go to the
26
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.120
parking lot. I'd watch them all go up there, and
27
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:17.840
I would just be on the car having a grand
28
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.599
old time, smoking and laughing, watching everybody going. I would
29
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.879
see all these big time Hollywood men that I just
30
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.079
watched go up there. They all came down off the shuttle,
31
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.439
looking sad in their eyes, all of them wearing Sean
32
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.519
John and looking oily. Their shoelaces were always untied. Then
33
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.040
they're getting their car and they would drive off standing up. Okay.
34
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.519
Then Bob Saggitt getting a documentary. The Bob Sackett Documentary
35
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.840
explores the duality of a man known to millions as
36
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.120
America's Dad on TV while simultaneously being a raw and
37
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.480
unfiltered stand up comic on stage, built from intimate access
38
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.280
to family and fellow comics, Rare home videos and ever
39
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.959
before seen footage The Bob Sacket documentary will reveal the
40
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.439
complex life, devastating losses, and enduring kindness behind the laughter.
41
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.519
No date yet. Wow, Saggot is going on four years already.
42
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.959
That is stunning to me. I feel like that news
43
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.439
just happened not too long ago. I met Bob once.
44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.400
He was super cool. He came up to visit us,
45
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.439
and it's serious, and he needed to make a phone
46
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.360
call and I let him use my office. So I
47
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.080
have just this wonderful memory of me, you know, killing
48
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.199
time in the hallway talking to some coworkers about the
49
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.000
Mets and seeing Bob Saggett sitting at my desk using
50
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.560
my phone. Cool guy Bill Maher is upset that his
51
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.879
relationship with Jimmy Kimmel has gone sideways. You may recall
52
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:33.240
that Bill Maher slammed Missus Kimmel. Missus Kimmel had revealed
53
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.400
that she had lost family relationships over their politics. On
54
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.280
the Club Random podcast, Bill Maher said, Kimmel is quote
55
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.120
very mad at me. Mar said to his guest Adam Carolla,
56
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.520
I know you're close to him. I hope you tell
57
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.280
him that you know. I'm sorry that they got bent
58
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.120
out of shape. I don't think I did anything wrong.
59
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.759
Weekend of Disagreements, Moore insisted it's Kimmel who was in
60
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.560
the wrong. According to mar my tribe is supposed to
61
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.039
be the left, but these are the people who just
62
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.879
can't talk to you unless you're exactly there. Jimmy, I'm sorry.
63
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:00.479
I think this is one of the nice guys that
64
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.639
did a meacopo when we exchanged emails. Not about what
65
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.120
who's complaining about. We're just saying sometimes a little brash
66
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.240
when they compare me with the other late night guys.
67
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.039
I'm like, I'm not like you guys. I'm not You
68
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.960
could all exchange your monologues, all of you and no
69
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.759
one would know the difference in tune, whereas me, I'm
70
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.759
not there. I just don't buy into the left wing bs.
71
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.599
I never stopped making fun of the right wing bs
72
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.039
at all. If that's not good enough for you, then
73
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.680
I think you're the a hole. And I don't think
74
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.280
Jimmy's an a hole. I think he's a great guy.
75
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.080
And it bugs me that because of what the latest
76
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.199
thing was. You know, we may never talk Chris Fleming
77
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.199
getting an HBO Max special, so I think this is
78
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.080
a Max special I've talked about this in the past, HBO,
79
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.319
that you've totally confused your brand, which Netflix is going
80
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.680
to do with these quote unquote podcasts. By the way,
81
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.560
you've totally confused your brand. So to me, Living on
82
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.639
Old Man Mountain, Something on Saturday is an HBO special.
83
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.520
Something on Friday is a Max special. Chris Fleming, who
84
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.400
I love, is getting a Friday special. It is called
85
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.800
Chris Fleming Live at the Palace. It will premiere ten
86
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.439
pm East and West Friday, twenty seventh. Live at the
87
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.719
Palace was filmed where everybody say with me, the Palace Theater,
88
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.319
That's right, the one in Chicago. We're sold. Chris Fleming
89
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.560
bounds across the stage, sharing his takes on masculinity, conga lines,
90
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.439
Trader Joe's oreos, NPR, dog Breeds and more. Now I'm
91
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.399
fascinated with the timing. So is the Friday night slot
92
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.680
when you get Chris Fleming and Sarah Sherman and the
93
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.879
quirky stuff, which is fine because that would be a brand.
94
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.439
I would be totally down with Friday's at ten being
95
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.759
the quirky stuff. Don't go throwing Nate Perghetzi on Friday
96
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.680
Night at ten. He's Saturday Night at ten. You know
97
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.600
what I'm saying. Yeah, Chris Fleming said, I hereby decree,
98
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.000
my first HBO special will soon be available for you
99
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.879
to consume. Please enjoy, and feel free to dance along.
100
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.360
Thank you and thank you HBO to exclamation points. Nina
101
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.600
Rosenstein is HBO's EVP programming Late Night and specials and
102
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.160
pr people loved difficult from the executives, So Nina or
103
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.279
someone in Nina's name came up with this sentence. Chris
104
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.360
brings it full force to this special. Once you've seen him,
105
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.360
nothing else quite compares. His jokes are exquisitely precise, and
106
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.879
his physical comedy is so borderline acrobatic that you discover
107
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.319
something new to laugh at every time, whether it's a
108
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.959
perfect compression of a crab walk or an intricate joke
109
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.720
about Tillamook cheese. His work is a masterclass in and
110
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.920
of itself. I wonder how long they worked on that quote.
111
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.399
In The Atlantic, David Simms writes, Pete Davidson's charm is
112
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.399
working against him. David Simms got into one of my
113
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.160
favorite current topics, which is the Pete Davison Show, which
114
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.600
say with me is clearly not a podcast, Simms writes.
115
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.240
The first question to confront when considering The Pete Davison Show,
116
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.319
a new Netflix series that the streamer is calling a
117
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.160
video podcast, is what is a podcast? Sims says, I
118
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.160
would argue that podcast should always involve a dedicated feed
119
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.560
you can listen to on your phone. The Pete Davison
120
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.639
Show does not have that. A cynic might wonder if
121
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.959
branding the Pete Davidson's Show a podcast is just a
122
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.480
way for the streaming empire to avoid paying for the
123
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.600
kind of unionized cruise and production staff at talk show demands. Anyway,
124
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.720
once we get over that, let's review the show. David
125
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.319
Sims says of Pete Davidson as a host, He's casual
126
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.560
to a fault. He's prone to slouching in his chair,
127
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.439
ripping a thousand of cigarettes, and reminiscing about various awkward
128
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.439
interactions he and his guests have had at parties over
129
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.240
the years. David's inexperience becomes obvious when seated across someone
130
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.399
much better versed in the medium. Episode two features Charlomagne
131
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.879
the God, a season radio personality whose comfort and facility
132
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.439
with the format forces Davidson to keep up. Sims writes,
133
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.800
maybe Davidson can grown to the gig. Very few hit
134
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.839
podcasts emerge from the gate fully formed. But the Pete
135
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.000
Davidson Show, which I'll point out, is not a podcast.
136
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.920
It's a television show on Netflix. I'll let the union
137
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.439
fight their own battles, but it is not a podcast.
138
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.839
Sims rights, the Pete Davidson Show is a particularly rough
139
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.680
lump of clay. The garage setting riffs on Maren's format,
140
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.120
but the space is devoid of any notable physical objects
141
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.120
for guest to bounce off. Nothing like Maren's frequently remarked
142
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.439
upon Chachke's or guitars, Davidson's Chat with Kelly has no structure,
143
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.480
no segments, and no particular gimmick. I've been there. That's
144
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.199
some executive telling Pete Davidson you could do whatever you
145
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.800
want me. I've been down this a zillion times about ah.
146
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:04.279
You know, we don't need a format, we just talk
147
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.399
about it. You have to put a format on things
148
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:08.360
or you just have a mess. I'm telling you, I've
149
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.600
been doing this for thirty plus years. You have to
150
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.839
have a format. This show has a format. Have you
151
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.160
noticed I do the big stuff up front, take a break,
152
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.839
and then I do esoteric stuff. That's a format. You
153
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.639
just need a format. I don't open up the show
154
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.639
going Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
155
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.160
The Topeka, Kansas Comedy Festival feature seven people you've never
156
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:27.959
heard of. I don't do it that way. There's an
157
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.879
order to things. You have to have a format. Sims
158
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.519
seems to agree. Writing some sense of organization can help
159
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.480
shape an otherwise unformed snippet of conversation. And I like
160
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.079
this last sentence from David Sims, who writes, perhaps Netflix
161
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.360
is video only podcast experiment. David, it's not a podcast,
162
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:44.959
it's a television show. Let me clean it up for you.
163
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.000
Let me make an edit on David Simms what the
164
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.480
sentence should say. Or perhaps Netflix is TV show experiment
165
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.879
will go the way of many other such clones in
166
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.800
this medium, which never took on board the lesson that
167
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.519
podcasts require more than two microphones and a garage to
168
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.639
actually be interesting. You can actually do it with one
169
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.879
micro phone in a basement. I'm opening up the Netflix
170
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.800
app and I'll see if the Pete Davidson television show
171
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.720
is trending now they keep changing the interface. Here, I've
172
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.000
clicked on new and Hot. They want me to watch
173
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:17.480
Gordon Ramsay and Mission Impossible and Ironclaw something about dinosaurs. Well,
174
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.879
that doesn't seem to be chirts. We are shirts in Netflix.
175
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:21.839
They used to just have a big top ten there,
176
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.079
So here we go. Top ten shows in the US today.
177
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.879
This is twelve forty five pm on Tuesday, Wrestling, Lincoln Lawyer,
178
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:35.639
Bridgerton unfamiliar, Jeffrey Epsteins something his and Hers which I
179
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.759
liked at the beginning, and they got terrible. Is it cake?
180
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.440
You people need to get a life alone, Free Bert
181
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.679
doing well at number nine and The Way Home. None
182
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:49.519
of that is the Pete Davidson television show. Interesting. I'm
183
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.960
a bad host. Yesterday I did this wonderful rant about
184
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:57.000
Mulaney versus Jen Marco, and I forgot to thank a listener.
185
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.039
No listener said, you can just say listener. But the
186
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.000
listener sent this to me or I wouldn't have caught it.
187
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.399
So thank you listener for putting that. I still want
188
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.960
to get a posse up, but I don't hear it
189
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.320
at all. In case you missed it, seems mister b
190
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:14.360
Bigli and mister Mullaney are not quite accusing John Marco
191
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.960
Siresi of ripping off the act. They didn't say who
192
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.600
they think is ripping off Mullaney, but people seem to
193
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.480
think they're implying that it's John Marco. I don't hear
194
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.279
it at all. Comedy Survivor join us in the Facebook
195
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.279
group Daily Comedy News Podcast group. I was checking out
196
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.279
the voting earlier today and there's a lot of like
197
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.960
single votes all across the board. I don't know who's
198
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.559
going this week. Some people are hanging back until end
199
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.399
of day Thursday to get their votes in late and
200
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.399
see if a little late rush can eliminate someone. No
201
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.240
idea who's going. Late night waged in. On the super
202
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.639
Bowl halftime show, Greg Gutfeld telled this joke. President Trump
203
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.000
posted that bad Bunny had one of the worst halftimes ever.
204
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.440
I disagree. The worst ever was the four years of
205
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.320
Joe Biden in between Trump now now Gutfeld. Obviously I
206
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.879
didn't tell that one well at all, because that did
207
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.360
you hear those words? That is a hilarious joke. The
208
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.320
worst halftime ever was the four years of Joe Biden
209
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.000
in between Trump. Hilarious? I mean Gottfeld told it properly,
210
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.960
got a huge laugh. I just didn't tell it well,
211
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.519
but boy, that that is just a well crafted, not
212
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.679
at all hacky joke from Greg Guttfeld. Eddie Murphy, we'll
213
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.000
team up with Evangoria in a new comedy movie being
214
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.639
made by Amazon MGM. It is called Attachment Parenting. We're
215
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.080
told attachment Parenting has a vibe that throws back to
216
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.200
another era of studio comedies. The project tells of a
217
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.600
psychologist couple whose parenting philosophies put to the ultimate test
218
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.000
when they're forced to counsel the crime boss's dysfunctional family
219
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.200
while being held hostage at a hotel. Okay, Kevin Hart
220
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.960
he likes to be in business with stuff. He has
221
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.840
invested in Burn Bootcamp. The owners of Burn Bootcamp met
222
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:55.000
Kevin Hart through mutual connections. CEO Morgan Klein said, we
223
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:56.919
could just since there was a lot of shared values
224
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.519
amongst one another. It was very clear that he didn't
225
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.720
want to be as person and that's not what we
226
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.320
were seeking. He wanted ownership. Kevin has made a financial
227
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.919
investment in Burn boot Camp and will own a franchise
228
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.600
in California. Kevin in a YouTube video apparently said Burn
229
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.960
stands for what I believe in, structure, accountability, and results.
230
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.559
My kids don't listen to what I say, but they
231
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.720
watch what I do, and I want them to see discipline,
232
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.799
commitment and strength. Tops Baseball Cards have come out with
233
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.399
a Jerry Seinfeld Mets card. It's Jerry Seinfeld wearing a
234
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.639
Mets jersey and an off brand Mets hat and he's
235
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:34.679
on the phone, presumably calling the bullpen. It's autographed. Tops
236
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.360
said it was the biggest signing of the off season.
237
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.919
Collectors can buy a whole bunch of packs and hope
238
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.480
one of the packs has an autograph card of Jerry Seinfeld.
239
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.159
And The Traverse City Comedy Festival has announced their lineup.
