00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.880
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey Aaron, Chenny Mack with your daily
2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.039
comedy news. Cant Williams stirring it up again, which is
3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.920
always fun for this podcast. He was at Vulture Festival
4
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.280
and he started talking about his appearance on Club shayshe
5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.039
like six months ago, and said, I set out to
6
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:22.920
kill the careers of the people I was talking about,
7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.120
but it was so vicious that I raised all the
8
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.160
knockout blows and just left the jeb so that the
9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.000
comic I'm talking about knows. I know your real story,
10
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.240
mf or. I thought I had figured out the algorithm mathematically,
11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:34.920
and I thought I could show that when I wrote
12
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.520
it out. I wrote it out to kill the careers
13
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.119
of the people I was talking about, but was so
14
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.600
vicious that I erased the knockout blows. I'll tell this,
15
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.359
but you know what else I know. You may recall
16
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.000
during that appearance, Cat mentioned that Ditty would catch hell
17
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.399
in twenty twenty four because quote, all lives will be exposed.
18
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.960
Kat Williams, perhaps less crazy than one might think, Cat joked,
19
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.840
I'm anti establishment, so I could never be the establishment.
20
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.840
Even if I'm at the Ditty. I'm there to tell
21
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.640
I'm there to see who the f is in here?
22
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.079
What do y'all get from being in here? So nobody
23
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.519
likes to have me around. I'm there for bad intentions.
24
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.319
Also discussed the Jake Paul might Tyson fight. What a
25
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.480
waste of time that was, and he said, what a
26
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.200
blessing for Mike to be able to at this point
27
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.439
in his life and career throw eighteen punches and get
28
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.480
a million dollars per punch for a total of twenty
29
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.879
million dollars. Let's hit gossip corner kind of early Today,
30
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.439
Cinema Blend is stirring it up a rumor that Pete
31
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.640
Davidson might possibly perhaps host Saturday Night Live, but he's
32
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.959
feuding with Colin Jost, according to the rumor mill Hmm.
33
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.120
The Sun newspaper recently ran a story from the John
34
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.680
Mlaney episode that alleged an icy exchange when Pete Davidson returned.
35
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.560
Some say Pete and Colin Jost had an awkward moment
36
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.120
of shaking hands in the hallways of Studio eight h
37
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.359
Others noticed the distance between the men on stage during
38
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.319
the goodbye segment at the end of the episode. Boy
39
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.920
people overanalyze the heck Head of that one. Is it
40
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.799
even a minute at the end of the show and
41
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.159
it was overanalyzed this week. I'll talk about that in
42
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.719
the second half of the pod. One gossip site says
43
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:04.280
there were a rumor a month or so about how
44
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.840
Pete Davidson Colin chose they weren't driving as friends. Well,
45
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.199
Pete showed up on SNL. There was a rumor that
46
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.360
Pete wanted to come back and host, and Colin wasn't
47
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.520
so into the idea. But mulaney was hosting and he
48
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.680
loves Pete Davidson like he's a big brother who watches
49
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.000
out for him. So the source says, I've heard that
50
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:20.919
Pete wants to come back and host, and maybe last
51
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.719
week's guest bot was a litmus test to see how
52
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.199
he's doing post rehabitt c Gossip Corner says Pete's people
53
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.039
have pitched him to host the show and there was
54
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.319
not yet a yes or no. They want to see
55
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.400
how he's doing. Do you think they could be fighting
56
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.400
about the ferry that they bought. Jerry Seinfeld, what are
57
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:41.000
you doing? He apparently was listening to WFAN Sports radio. Jerry,
58
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.199
the nineties are over, dude, Nobody does that anymore, what
59
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.639
are you doing? So Jerry's presumably in the car. I
60
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.400
hope he's not listening at home. I hope he was
61
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.960
at least in the car and he hears the WFAN
62
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.800
sports radio hosts mentioned the season eight Seinfeld episode The
63
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.960
Chicken Roasters. One of the hosts says, one of the
64
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.919
few good Seinfeld episodes. Jerry was listening and called in,
65
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.599
presumably he has the hotline and says, one out of
66
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.360
two is fine. Look, we made one hundred and eighty
67
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.560
seine Field episode, so we made three good ones. We're
68
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.280
like the giants. We're three and one hundred and seventy seven.
69
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.400
John mulaney gave an update on his son, Malcolm's thing.
70
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.159
He's doing good. He likes being a big brother. It's
71
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.319
interesting with her daughter. She's two months old and she
72
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.080
doesn't do much. And I think the first couple of
73
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.039
weeks he thought she might be a toy because she'd
74
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.400
squeak and he'd be like, how do I make it
75
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.439
do that again? Now I think he gets it that
76
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.159
this is a little girl. Billboard did a lengthy piece
77
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.879
with Christa Stefano. Last week. Chris did three back to
78
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.120
back sets at three different locations of the New York
79
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.159
Comedy Club that part of the New York Comedy Festival.
80
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.639
This being the only article I've seen so far really
81
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.120
about the New York Comedy Festival. Apparently this was inspired
82
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.439
by Taylor Swift. Why you say, well, he was recording
83
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.879
bits they had performed previously on Comedy Central and Netflix specials.
84
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.680
He wants to have his own version of the shows
85
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.240
and release them as Chrissy's Version so that he can
86
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.639
hand them into places that play comedy records and get
87
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.719
the street royalties himself. Interesting, probably pretty smart. It was
88
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.000
my manager's idea. His manager is also the owner of
89
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.080
the New York Comedy Club. The manager said, I want
90
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:10.800
to have a headliner come in and do three headlining
91
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.240
shows and back to back to back at my club,
92
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.960
something different for the New York Comedy Festival. I was like, sure,
93
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.000
it was fun. I'm calling each show Chrissy's version because
94
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:19.399
I was doing old jokes that I did on my
95
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.000
Comedy Central and Netflix specials because technically they own the
96
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.079
audio rights to that stuff. We're going to take a
97
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:25.839
mash up of the three shows that I did, three
98
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.879
hours of material, take the old bits, call it Chrissie's
99
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.839
version and upload them to wherever. Now I'll own them upright,
100
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.120
Will there be a video streaming version? Billboard asked yes,
101
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.720
every Sunday at seven pm. For the past I think
102
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.959
it's ten weeks, I upload that week's material on my
103
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.319
YouTube channel, twenty to thirty minutes of my week of
104
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.439
stand up. So this week, which is two days ago,
105
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.120
now I'm gonna put up that material. In his set
106
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.240
at the New York Comedy Club, he alluded to Tony
107
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.199
Hinchcliff's Puerto Rican jokes. Chris said, it's one of those
108
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.839
things where for me, it's always comedy first. Obviously, I
109
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:55.959
have Puerto Rican family and I watched the video with them.
110
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.720
They were like, it's a joke. You can say is
111
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.000
the joke funny or not com subjective? I get it,
112
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.360
and I understand if you're doing comedy at political rallies,
113
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.040
which are non comedy spaces, you're definitely opening up yourself
114
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.000
to more criticism. Comedy is one of those things where
115
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.759
it's got to be the right setting, the right ambience. Say,
116
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.120
for example, Adrian Applelucci tailing Puerto Rican jokes during a
117
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.040
Netflix special that was recorded, edited and published nobody freaked
118
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.319
out about those jokes. Chris says, I subscribe to comedians
119
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.720
that never apologize. The way I look at it, you
120
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.399
can't be funny and hateful. Hitler wasn't funny. So if
121
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.040
a joke misses, it misses, don't take one thing someone
122
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.000
says and say this is who this person is. That's
123
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.040
not going to get us further as a society. My
124
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:35.800
thing is, you can say whatever you want and cross
125
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.759
that line as long as there's an attempt at a
126
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.519
joke attached to it. Just don't say a shock value word.
127
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.079
To say the shock value word, that's being corny. That's
128
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.279
not what comedians do. My job is to thread the
129
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.639
needle of saying something that crosses the line and possibly
130
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.600
offends someone, but offends them and makes them laugh by
131
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.279
making a heavier subject more lighthearted. When you come to
132
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.480
a comedy show, you have to understand what you're buying
133
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.160
a ticket to. There's a lot of times we all
134
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.480
swing for the fences and miss. That's part of our job.
135
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.759
I'll jump in. I was talking to my college students
136
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.680
last Thursday about that and said, you know, I get
137
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.240
up here and I lecture you to you guys for
138
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.079
two and a half hours, and I'm doing it for
139
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.759
over ten years. You talk long enough. I'm sure I
140
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.000
said something stupid at some point in the last ten years.
141
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:14.720
I'm sure. I'm sure if I go back and read
142
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.120
the transcripts of every college lecture, I said something stupid.
143
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.079
Did I come in harm? No? Back to Christo Stefano,
144
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.399
the comments about Puerto Rico were one of those things
145
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.439
where most of us understood the Whether you thought it
146
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.759
was funny or not, it was just a joke, didn't land.
147
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.439
He knows that, and it's fine. It didn't have an
148
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.000
impact on the election because most adults don't give a
149
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.319
hoot about that. Most adults were like, Hey, I can't
150
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.399
buy gas and groceries, so I'm not gonna not vote
151
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:38.680
for whoever I want to vote for It because of
152
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.959
a joke. That's when you're gonna have the celebrities coming
153
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.519
out on social media. It might have made a difference
154
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.480
ten years ago, but now nobody cares. As a matter
155
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.160
of fact, it looks worse when you have j Loo
156
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.480
or someone who's conservative telling people what to do and
157
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.600
who to vote for. It's like, really, you're gonna tell
158
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.879
me what to do and you're fifty million dollar bleeping mansion.
159
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.319
I could barely get by here, so shut up with
160
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.399
my career. I have to be a man of the people.
161
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.319
You'll see some comics get humongous and then they have
162
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.399
a comedy special talking about their mansion or their private
163
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.959
jet and it doesn't hit his hard. Howard Stern. Oh sorry,
164
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.759
I don't know. I just blurted out, Howard Stern. There.
165
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.079
That wasn't Chris, that was me. I don't know why
166
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.079
I said that, because if he was like, wait, where's
167
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.360
the comedy, I'm listening to what the common man's going
168
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.120
through every day. That's why Ricky Travais is my favorite
169
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.160
comedian of all time. Look what he did at the
170
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.199
Golden Globes a few years ago. He just destroyed the
171
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.120
celebrities there. He said, tell them straight up, you guys
172
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.639
are in no position to lecture of the public, So
173
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.600
get your little award. An f off, Chris, anything else
174
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.160
in the works. Chris says he has a Hulu special
175
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.319
coming out February twenty first, Really, somebody should publicize that.
176
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.319
To one of the podcasts, it talks about stand up
177
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.480
comedy every day. Hulu publicists are you're listening. Wow, that's
178
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.480
pretty interesting. Who should probably have one of their publicists
179
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.240
reach out to a podcast that talks about stand up
180
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.480
comedy every day. For example, Netflix, they're doing stand up
181
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.560
comedy and I know about it. Adam Ray, for example,
182
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.319
has one out today. This is the one where he's
183
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.199
just doing Doctor Phil I think for the whole time. Okay.
184
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.720
Netflix calls the show What of a Kind comedy featuring
185
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.800
celebrity guest crowd work, and outrageous hijinks. Meanwhile, Max, they
186
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.879
have a publicist Rose Matta Fayo will have her new
187
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.920
comedy special. That One's Thursday, December nineteenth. Max. It tells
188
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.399
us it's built around a sixteen thousand word note kept
189
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.240
over time in her phone. In it, she offers her
190
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.360
candid takes on relationships from dating in her twenties versus thirties,
191
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.720
just porting friends, through breakups, and the stark differences between
192
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.920
herself and her parents at the same age. She also
193
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.000
explores whether she wants children, how aging has impacted her comedy,
194
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.720
and her strong feelings about online relationship coaching. You know
195
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.040
Els has a special today, Paul Reiser. How do I
196
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:33.559
know that publicists? Paul Reiser's is on Comedy Dynamics, It's
197
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.960
called Life, Death and Rice Pudding. Paul Reiser discloses the
198
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.799
secrets to successful downsizing, explains why the whole do one
199
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.559
two others thing doesn't work in marriage, and while boiling
200
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.960
pasta naked is never a good idea. Paul spoke to
201
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.360
The Independent newspaper and said, I'm not a fan of gossip.
202
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.639
I don't like it about other people, and I certainly
203
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.519
don't want anything being said about me that I wouldn't
204
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.159
want shared everywhere in the news. It's fighting, but I
205
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.039
believe if put any warring party in a room and
206
00:08:58.039 --> 00:08:59.480
ask them what they want, you're gonna find out that
207
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.919
they're not that different. Someone locked me in a room
208
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.799
with a publicist from Hulu. I'm sure we could work
209
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.399
this out. We want the same thing, don't we. We
210
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.279
want people to know about the Hulu comedy special. All right,
211
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.120
I'm gonna stop. That bit is now officially over all right,
212
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.240
that is the last time. Oh dude, I'm done with it.
213
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:18.480
That's it. You heard me. Let's move on. Did you
214
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.200
watch Saturday Night Live? I'm trying not to become the
215
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.240
SNL sucks guy on threads. I've been hanging out on threads,
216
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.799
where I'm finding a pretty robust discussion of comedy. And
217
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.200
I'll say one thing about SNL, like that episode was horrific,
218
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.240
and I'm quickly becoming the SNL is terrible guy, and
219
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.039
I don't feel that way at all. I just feel
220
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.840
that Bill Burr bombed and this week's episode was horrific.
221
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.639
I didn't even make it through the opening sketch, and
222
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.159
I can't tell you the last time that happened. Alec
223
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.799
Baldwin came out and did RFK. He's catching some grief
224
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.480
from people saying he should make fun of rfk's voice.
225
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.320
Not really good impression. And my question to Lord Michaels,
226
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.000
who believe me? If we compare say Lord Michael's current mind,
227
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.519
you win in every category. But I don't understand this
228
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.600
season why the guest stars, Like why is Dana Carvey
229
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:12.159
still there doing Joe Biden? And okay, maybe because he's
230
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.399
this year's Biden. Okay, fine, I'll let her go. Why
231
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.399
is Alec Baldwin doing RFK junior? Nobody on the cast
232
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.600
can do RFK junior. No one. I don't understand why
233
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.399
they're not using the cast. It really confuses me back
234
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.440
to over analyzing the final minute, where everybody stands on
235
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.519
the stage in waves, people notice that Alec Baldwin's fly
236
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.720
was open. I also felt James Austin Johnson's Trump has
237
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.399
lost its way. When he first started doing it on SNL,
238
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.080
it was totally on point. And maybe James version of
239
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.240
the character is better doing the rambling weave speech thing,
240
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.720
but when he does Trump and a sketch, it's not flying.
241
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.799
I thought the impression had drifted vocally pretty far this week.
242
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.799
And you know, he's sitting there and Alec Baldwin's there,
243
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.759
and Alec Baldwin was Trump for a few years, so
