00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.960
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with today's

2
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.800
daily comedy news Eagles versus Chiefs. He excited. Kevin Hart,

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:18.000
sure is. He's been all over social media posting Eagles videos.

4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.359
He even got in on making fun of the mayor

5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.160
of Philadelphia. You see, the mayor was trying to hype

6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.039
up fans by doing the traditional e A g L

7
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:32.399
e S Eagles chant. However, the mayor spelled out e

8
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.479
L g l e s. Commander's fans started selling fly

9
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.600
el Goles fly t shirts at its lgate before the game.

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.759
Kevin Hart joined in. He posted on Instagram e A

11
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.079
g L e S Eagles. If you want to spell

12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:46.759
it the other way, we can do that too. Shout

13
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.079
out to the mayor. Pete Davidson was at the Eagles

14
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.840
game as well. People are like, hey, why's Pete Davidson there?

15
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.200
I thought he was a Giants fan. Well, he is

16
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.640
a big fan of Saquon Borkley, who played for the Giants,

17
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.119
and the Giants decided we're not going to re sign you.

18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.120
Are you even good at football? Oops from ESPN. ESPN's

19
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:09.680
own copy says Jim Gaffigan tells Jason Kelcey funny story

20
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.959
about quitting football. Okay, according to ESPN, this is a

21
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.840
funny story. I'm going to stay with it as long

22
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.319
as I can because Jim Gaffigan is a fantastic standup

23
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.319
comedian when he's performing written material. But this, I'm sorry,

24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.760
is not a funny story. Let's listen.

25
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.840
Who played at George sound what was your career? Like,

26
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:35.599
I mean, I feel so imperissed. I mean, I know

27
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.640
you're being caught. I played, I walked on to Purdue.

28
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.439
I played for maybe two weeks. Then I transferred to Georgetown,

29
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.719
which is Division three weeks to lose to you know,

30
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.200
we could probably would have lost to a lot of

31
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.400
high school teams. And I played for a year and

32
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.519
a half and I quit. I mean the best was

33
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.680
when I because I walked in after two a day.

34
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:08.000
And this is all about quitting, and which is like,

35
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.800
I know these guys have been inspiring, but how about

36
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:11.759
the quitters?

37
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.039
And I have to hook it there because if I

38
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.280
keep going, none of you are going to listen.

39
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:17.439
Now.

40
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.479
Some of you are like drum graffigan rules, You're just

41
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.039
from idiot abasement. I understand that I am some idiot

42
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.800
in the basement, But that story is terrible. You'd much

43
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.439
rather hear me tell you about Conan O'Brien, wouldn't you.

44
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.000
Conan's getting ready to host the Oscars. He's got a

45
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.560
movie coming out in November. Both his parents passed away

46
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.560
within three days of each other. He had to deal

47
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.280
with the wildfires, and he says, a lot been happening

48
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.719
in a very short time, and there's a lot that

49
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.120
happened in my personal life starting in December that was intense,

50
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.319
and then going to this month with the fires and

51
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.560
prep for what's coming up. It's been a time where

52
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.879
I just take it one day at a time. He

53
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.599
recalled speaking to a woman who drove him to the

54
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.479
premiere of his upcoming movie. He learned that she was

55
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.680
actually from la and her apartment quote burned to the ground.

56
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.759
Conan says, it's time to be asking other people how

57
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.840
they're doing, listening to them, and that respect. Some of

58
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.039
the things I'm doing, like coming here to sun Dance

59
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.120
for the film or the Oscars Award show coming up,

60
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.719
that can seem silly and trivial, but they're also important

61
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.840
at the same time, because we keep going, we keep

62
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.759
making stuff. Conan was at sun Dance for the premiere

63
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.840
of the movie. If I had legs, I'd kick you.

64
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.800
This apparently got really strong reviews quote stunning audiences with

65
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.280
its emotional intensity. Conan plays a no nonsense therapist. The

66
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.879
film quickly transitions from its supposed dramatic comedy genre into

67
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.439
a raw, gripping exploration of the presence of Rose Burns's character,

68
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.319
leaning her into increasingly dark territory. Folks are comparing Conan's

69
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.199
role to that of Adam Sandler and Uncut Gems. Now,

70
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.960
you know, most Adam Sandler projects are complete garbage, but

71
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.879
Uncut Gems is solid. I want Adam Sandler to do

72
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.599
more of that. Are you listening, Adam, I know you

73
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.360
are more Uncut Gems. Please. Even that space thing you

74
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.199
did that was a little weird, that was good. I

75
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.919
like dramatic Adam Sandler. I actually think you're really good

76
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.159
at that. The comedies you're not that good at it.

77
00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.520
And I realize you've made a lot of money and

78
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.400
a lot of people have awful taste, but you should

79
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.199
be a dramatic actor. Conan's portrayal of a cold stoke

80
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.719
therapist contrasts sharply with Roseburn's frantic, desperate character. Despite limited

81
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.599
scene time, Conan manages to add moments of dry humor,

82
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.319
such as the line I don't respond to emails about

83
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.079
my client's dreams. Conan said the experience is one of

84
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.639
the best of his life, and he's had quite the career.

85
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.079
The Redinblack dot Com talked to Tom Sigora and ask

86
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.920
Tom how he deals with criticism. Tom Sigori said, the

87
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.800
thing that most comedians probably listen to the most when

88
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.959
it comes to feedback your criticism is usually if it's

89
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.319
from another comedian, you'll never please everybody. I teach this

90
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.480
to my college students. So remember Derek Jeter. You've heard

91
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.240
of him. Captain in the near Yankees, Remember eight Ron,

92
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.240
Remember that guy? So you could be Derek Jeter. Right,

93
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.519
You've got five World Series rings. Women think you're good looking,

94
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.600
You're the captain of the Yankees, but everyone's given you

95
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.040
a hard time because they think Alex Rodriguez is better

96
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.160
defensively at shortstop. Meanwhile, over at third base, Alex Rodriguez

97
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.360
could be looking over Jeter going, you know what, screw

98
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.160
this guy. You know I'm dating h Nah, I'm a

99
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.920
better short stop. No, no, just stay in your own lane,

100
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.600
don't worry about everybody else, don't read the comments. Toms

101
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.639
Gorse says, you never please everybody. There's the idea that

102
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.519
you're gonna make everybody happier, make everybody laugh. It's not real.

103
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.399
It doesn't matter who you talk about. There's no comedian,

104
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.319
no matter their level, that everybody goes. Yes, I agree

105
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.720
that person's the best. The audience also dictates without telling

106
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.600
you with words. You kind of know when something's working

107
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.560
or not. Podcasting kind of works a little bit, almost

108
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.560
like minor leagues or your stand up material, because you're

109
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.839
just kind of chatting. Then all of a sudden you

110
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.560
realize that there's something there for the stage. You're not

111
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.240
conscious of it. A lot of times it just happens.

112
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.160
Then you give yourself a little note like, oh, that

113
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.040
thing we talked about in the podcast, I think that's

114
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.319
a bit. I think that could actually make that work. Yeah,

115
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.839
Sigoura about the potential TikTok ben, he said, I would

116
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.120
not be concerned. I know that everybody always does when

117
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.040
they have their favorite platform, and the reality is that

118
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.560
if it were not to exist tomorrow, other platforms would

119
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.079
pop up. The ones that already exist would see and

120
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.319
not partaking their growth. There'll always be someone, so someone

121
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.800
will come and fill a void if any of these

122
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.279
places go away, And honestly, I wish they would all

123
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.279
go away. I hate it. I was all happy on

124
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.279
Saturday Night and I'm like, all right, I'm gonna watch

125
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.439
some TV. And speaking of Saturday Night, I didn't do

126
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.000
that intentionally. Netflix put up the Saturday Night Movie and

127
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.439
I was like, Oh, I've wanted to see this hit play.

128
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.560
It is fantastic. Have you seen this thing? It is great.

129
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.600
Gets a little feel goodie in the last five minutes there,

130
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.800
but it's okay. It's a fun ride. The vocal impressions

131
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.920
of the cast, like the guy doing Chevy, the guy

132
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:28.160
doing Acroyd fantastic, Matthew reesis Carlin good enough? The only

133
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.839
thing that confuses me is I don't know why they

134
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.839
had cousin Greg double roll as both Andy Kaufman and

135
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.959
Jim Henson. That got a little weird, But it's fine.

136
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.319
I really like this that Rachel sent out. That's the

137
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.360
it girl in Hollywood right now. She's fantastic in this thing.

138
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:46.839
HI praise for me on SNL Movie pod News put

139
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.160
in their newsletter and their podcast. They noticed that somebody

140
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.279
has reposted the Ricky Gervase podcasts. No one knows where

141
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.199
these showed up from, but they're there. At least eight

142
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.759
episodes of them are I grabbed them? Remember those from

143
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:01.480
like two years ago? They were pretty good. They haven't

144
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.319
been around, so you might want to type Ricky Gervaise

145
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.319
into your podcast app and grab those before they disappear,

146
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.399
you know what I'm saying. Yes, some of us in

147
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.800
the Facebook group were discussing James Austin Johnson's Trump impression,

148
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.920
and I'll go first. When he first came on SNL,

149
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.959
I was like, ooh, this is really good. It's drifting.

150
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.720
If you'd like to chime in on that discussion, please

151
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.360
feel encouraged to joining the Facebook group Daily Comedy News

152
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.920
Podcast Group. I think SNL's had a pretty rough season.

153
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.360
People seem to like that Timothy Shallome episode. A couple

154
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.000
sketches were okay, slow news Day here, So let's click

155
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.199
on what Mark Maren can't live without. New York Magazine

156
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.000
did this a few weeks back. Mark apparently cannot live

157
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.720
without Patchuli oil. He says, I just love this stuff

158
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.199
and I'm one of the few people that can wear

159
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.319
it and not come off as obnoxious. For whatever reason,

160
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:48.959
I had a girlfriend while I was in college who

161
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.560
was oddly not a hippie at all, just kind of

162
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.439
this punk rock, angry sculptor who was a really important

163
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.879
person in my life. She was into Pachuli oil. She

164
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.279
sent to me in some sort of witchbag, and that

165
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.240
point on, it's always been part of my life on

166
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.439
a daily basis. Apparently you can get an ounce of

167
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.160
Petuli oil for forty five dollars. Mark Maren's also into

168
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.959
the Will's jacket. He says, it's got kind of a

169
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.279
rugged vod to it. The Will's jacket is really the

170
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.279
thing to get. I don't run you five hundred and

171
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.079
ninety eight dollars. Mark's also into White's boots, the original

172
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.759
semi dress. Those are only seven hundred and ten dollars.

173
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.519
Mark says, when I was at Spokane, Washington doing a gig,

174
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:24.839
I got in a car with a guy who was

175
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.959
driving me and he's an old dude, an old Spokane guy,

176
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.519
and we were talking about boots and he goes, well,

177
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.920
they make Whites' boots here and they're the best. I've

178
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.080
never heard of them at the time I went over

179
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.039
to Whites and got measured and made some choices about

180
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:36.879
what I wanted on the boot. You had a choice

181
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.120
of heel and leather, or whether you wanted a toastrap

182
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.919
or no toae strap. But at that time they had

183
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.159
more types of leather to choose from. I've got five

184
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.440
or six pairs of different kinds of Whites' boots and

185
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.799
I wear them all the time. Mark's also into the

186
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.840
Setaphil gentle foaming cleanser that's only eleven dollars, and Mark says,

187
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.200
I don't know when I got into this, but I

188
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.759
can't live without it. It has to be this one

189
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.000
because the other facial cleanser they have is Smelly for

190
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.080
forty five dollars. So you could be like Mark Marin

191
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.960
and get some quirkies nuts cold pressed organic walnut oil.

192
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:06.879
Mark says, I've been a vegan for a year and

193
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.039
a half and I got obsessed with walnuts and walnut oil,

194
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.159
and they seem to factor into my life quite a bit. Lately.

195
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.799
I mix the walnut oil in my smoothies because I

196
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:15.480
think it's gonna fix my heart and brain and give

197
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.440
me all the omega threes that I need. Mark's a

198
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.879
fan of the sure SM seven B Vocal Dynamic microphone

199
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.279
three hundred and ninety eight bucks. Yep, A lot of

200
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.080
podcasters use that one for thirty four ninety five. That's

201
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.840
a thirty five hundred dollars, not thirty five dollars. Mark

202
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.840
likes the Fender Telecaster Custom nineteen seventy eight. He says,

203
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.080
I bought that from Howie at Rivington Guitars in New

204
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.360
York City. It's just like a classic Keith Richard's guitar

205
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.200
in a lot of ways. I've always been a bit

206
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.679
of a telecaster guy. It was just fortuitous that I

207
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.000
found one of that era that has just a great sound.

208
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:52.039
Mark recommends the Kent sixteen sea handmade course fine tooth dressing,

209
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.759
grooming and styling comb for men and women. It's eight bucks.

210
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.919
Mark tells us Kent combs are just sturdy. They almost

211
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.320
look like hand cut cone. I go to a bunch

212
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.080
of them, and I just kind of a fetish for them.

213
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.200
And Mark's final recommendation for us is Doctor Browner's Peppermint

214
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.399
Pure Castle Liquid soap that runs you a ten bucks

215
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.080
at Amazon, twelve bucks at Walmart. Mark says I got

216
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.120
to interview the grandson who runs the company. And I

217
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.039
got a lifetime supply of that liquid soap, the big

218
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.519
things like the almond, the t tree oil, the lavender,

219
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.720
and I use it. I haven't bought a barn a

220
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.559
decade or more. I just use that for the shower

221
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.320
and everything. I use it to wash dishes too. Sometimes

222
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.759
that's the stuff man. And somebody show me a note

223
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.600
asking John, is it a slow newsday again? No? Why

224
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.759
do you ask? Yes, it's a slow news week apparently,

225
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.480
