00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.599
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.839
daily comedy news. NFL Sunday Going Niners looking forward to
3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.480
the Jets getting destroyed as expected. People are just wigged
4
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.640
that Cam Patterson, the guy from kill Tony and among
5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.039
other things, but best known for Kill Tony, is joining
6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.440
Saturday Night Live. Syracuse dot Com went digging and they
7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.920
found new SNL cast member has strong feelings about Upstate
8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.840
New York and the poll quote that place is terrible.
9
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.240
Upstate New York is actually very, very beautiful. Anyway, back
10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.079
in January, Cam Patterson was on Kill Tony. The Syracuse
11
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.479
folks pulled a clip in the cliff Patterson says, I'm
12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.880
gonna look into the camera when I say this f Rochester,
13
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.000
New York. Tony Hinchcliff, who's from Youngstown, Ohio, said, I
14
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.960
fully endorse cam statements about anywhere in Upstate New York.
15
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.799
It's incredible for anyone to stay there after being born,
16
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.079
and he's there. Patterson chimed in and said, yeah, that
17
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.359
place is terrible. Tony Hinchcliff said, people in Upstate New
18
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.760
York settled down with the first person they said, like you,
19
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:09.879
they get pregnant and then become stuck there forever in
20
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.840
eternal hell, while literally the rest of America laughs at you.
21
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.439
Patterson cut in again and said, f Rochester a garbage place.
22
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.519
F all two hundred something thousand now. During a stand
23
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.719
up show last December, apparently Patterson made some comments about
24
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.840
the food in Rochester. He showed a photo of the
25
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.480
garbage plate. We've talked about that in the past. The
26
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.439
garbage plate typically includes a base of home fries or
27
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.879
macaroni salad, top with meat like hamburgers or hot dogs,
28
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.879
and finished with a spicy meat and fused hot sauce, mustard,
29
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.760
and onions. Patterson called the meal pig slop. I'm saying,
30
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.599
if you want to come over today and watch football,
31
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.439
I have rid zone. If you bring home fries, top
32
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.519
with meat type with spicy sauce, mustard and onions, I'll
33
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.519
bring the beer. While I'm already home. I already have
34
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.799
the beer. You bring a garbage plate. There is a
35
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.760
lot of strife going on over at SNL. I've got
36
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.640
you stories I'm saving from Monday. Why John, Because Monday
37
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.000
shows are slightly more listened to than Sunday shows. So
38
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.560
I'll make those the lead on tomorrows. Over in the UK,
39
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.919
they're getting their own version of Saturday Night Live, and
40
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.520
they're going to be able to say some swear words.
41
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.439
The Sky Television network explains that in the UK, swearing
42
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:23.840
after nine pm is allowed. My recommendation, don't swear. I
43
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.680
mean the occasional swear word for effect works. But you know,
44
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.879
don't turn this into Saturday afing Night Live. You know
45
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.400
who doesn't swears that. Nate forgets it and he's doing Okay,
46
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.560
did you buy stock in Nate? Because he's hosting the Emmy.
47
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.400
He's a week from today. I hope you bought up.
48
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.919
He also announced a tour. See we're already making money
49
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.039
on our bet. The Big Dumb Eyes Tour in twenty
50
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.360
twenty six, sixty two Arena stops stretching through next August.
51
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.479
The tour begins January fifteenth in Eugene, Oregon, where most
52
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.719
tours begin. I'm not going to read you sixty five dates.
53
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.159
He's probably close enough to you. Like for me, I
54
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.400
could wait until set Saturday August eighth and go to
55
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.840
Newark and see him there. That's the third last show.
56
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.280
Who wraps up August fifteenth in Toronto little Howard Stern
57
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.120
news at the end of last week. The boss is
58
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.759
there over at Sirius XM must see the scuttle butt
59
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.919
and probably just knowing how people think over there, they
60
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.120
probably were a little nervous about the stock and need
61
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.919
it to protect it. The CEO over there, nice woman
62
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.120
named Jennifer, said it certainly has to make sense, meaning
63
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.120
a Stern deal, But we feel pretty good that we've
64
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.919
done this before and we'll see where it goes. I
65
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.199
think he's been quarter o a platform for over twenty years.
66
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.479
Some confident we'll get to the right place. A different
67
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.599
boss over there was asked how serious XM determines whether
68
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.719
or not they should do with deal. He said they
69
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.080
look at hours, listen to add revenue, social media and publicity.
70
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.759
As I have been saying, Howard will renew. I think
71
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.479
they'll drag this out and capitalize on all the free
72
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.919
publicity they're getting. This boss even said publicity is basically
73
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.080
in kind free marketing. So they'll drag out the story
74
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.439
and in December it'll be like, what do you know,
75
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.680
Howard's staying? What a shock? Good piece and slate under
76
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:03.280
the headline. Mark Marin thinks he's Comedy's Jay Robert Oppenheimer,
77
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.439
is he right? Luke Winkie writes, you can find the
78
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.080
formula Maren established all those years ago pretty much everywhere
79
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.639
in the industry. The Joe Rogan Experience, which debuted mere
80
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.279
months after w TF, shares the exact same DNA long form, meandering,
81
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:20.079
sometimes surprisingly personal chats with miscellaneous stand ups and gadflies.
82
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.279
This also goes for this past weekend with theo Vaughn
83
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.079
ponent O'Brien. You can even hear its influence on the
84
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.279
Ezra Klein Show, Luke continues. For a few years there,
85
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.240
the world of comedy was remade in Maren's image. Comedians
86
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.319
spield their guts both in his studio and on stage,
87
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.680
and comedy clubs increasingly began to resemble group therapy clinics.
88
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.360
As the WTF brand grew, Maren moved away from the
89
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.040
Rinky Dinks stand up anks that originally attracted me to
90
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.920
the show. He remained a sharp interviewer, but the star
91
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.519
power of the guests slowly grew brighter and more distant
92
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.120
from his own world. Over time, WTF lost its status
93
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.360
as this sacred place for embittered stand ups to try
94
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.800
to deduce the meeting of their careers. I think this
95
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.279
piece is on point. Instead, it just became an other
96
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.800
big ticket interview podcast, competing with a wide array of imitators.
97
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.439
Luke writes, tuning into the podcast every week didn't feel
98
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.600
quite as crucial as it once did. I belonged to
99
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.519
a demographic of people that is capable of caring massively
100
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.319
about the life and times of alt comedy lifer Brian Posain.
101
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.920
The show, in its original conception was exclusively concerned with
102
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.759
those nerdy fixations. But how can you find time for
103
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.040
him between Jeremy Allen White, Alexander Scoresgarden and Risque Hargatea,
104
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.360
all of who appeared on WTF this summer. And I'll
105
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.920
add personally, I didn't download those episodes. I'm with the
106
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.399
writer here. I've got a bunch of Marens in my phone.
107
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.600
Let me call it Maren. I'll tell you how I'm
108
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.040
doing this. So not downloaded Spike Lee, Regina King, Ben Stiller,
109
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.240
downloaded Tim Heidecker, Bow and Yang. I've listened to those already,
110
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.560
Sarah Sherman, I listened to quest Leven Aquafina, didn't listen
111
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.639
to I'm with Luke I would be much more excited
112
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.199
if the next guest was Brian Posain talking about comedy
113
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.160
for an hour. So the conclusion to this thing piece
114
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.120
is and I agree, maybe Maren has timed his exit
115
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.839
from WTF perfectly. I did put years on that Kyle
116
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.079
Mooney Beck Bennett podcast and the guest was Mark Maren.
117
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.879
As a professional podcasting expert, despite me broadcasting in the basement,
118
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.720
I do have some thoughts for the guys. Beck and Kyle.
119
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.000
You gotta pen write this down. Your audio is terrible
120
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.879
now as a podcasting expert, I'm going to guess the
121
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.360
reason your audio is terrible is because you're really making
122
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.480
a YouTube video and putting it out as a podcast.
123
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.480
The audio is so bad that, despite me being on
124
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.079
a very much Marin kick right now, I couldn't even
125
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.759
stick around for Maren. I just like, this is unlistenable.
126
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.240
It sounds like it's underwater. They got to get their
127
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.920
act together over there. Let's see how it's doing on
128
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.360
the charts. It's actually Thursday as I record this. I'm
129
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.680
pretty honest, I record the weekends in advance. What is
130
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.639
this thing called again? What's our podcast? The name of
131
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.079
this thing is even terrible is that what it's called? Yeah,
132
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.319
what's our podcast with Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney. The
133
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.360
name's Terrible. It's up to number one sixteen overall, up
134
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.920
eleven spots and now number fourteen in the comedy subcategory.
135
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.079
So it's possible. Johnny Mack has no idea what he's
136
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.519
talking about, but personally I couldn't listen at all. Who
137
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.279
are their dream guests? They were asked. Beck Bennett said,
138
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.519
not necessarily my dream guest, but I think it would
139
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.480
be really fun to have Lorne Michaels on. You think,
140
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.920
especially right now, you think here, here's my dream guest list,
141
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.600
Taylor Swift, Lauren Michaels. I guess this week I would
142
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.639
take President Trump and RFK Junior. Beck Bennett was asked,
143
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.680
do you think would go along with it? I don't know.
144
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.040
I think it's below his standards. Kyle Money thinks Paul
145
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.040
McCartney would be interesting. You think one of the biggest
146
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.879
stars of all time, like not even musicians, just stars period.
147
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.480
Do you think a guy who is in the Beatles
148
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.639
would be interesting? Good guess? Ambitions for the podcast be Bennett,
149
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.240
I'd like to get it to a point where Rible's
150
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.240
tour and do some live shows, whether that's a guest
151
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.160
or doing mini versions where we take suggestions from the
152
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:54.920
audience to try to do a couple. It would be
153
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.920
fun to use this as a platform to perform live
154
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:58.319
and get in front of an audience. So I don't
155
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.000
do stand up, but he miss getting in of an audience. This,
156
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.439
my friends, is a cash grab podcast if I've ever
157
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.720
seen one, And they're doing okay so far. Kyle Mooney said,
158
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.319
I love the idea of doing live shows and letting
159
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.480
audience members potentially pitch podcast ideas for us, that would
160
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.720
be a terrible live show. Tell you, guys, it's fun
161
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.160
for us that it's ever changing and we don't know
162
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.360
what the rules are yet. We're sort of making them
163
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:24.079
up as we go along. Good luck. Paul Rodriguez has
164
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.399
been charged in connection with his arrest last month at
165
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.639
a Burbank restaurant. This from the Burbank City Attorney's Office.
166
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.080
Rodriguez faces misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance
167
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:39.679
without a prescription and possession of a controlled substance. Paul's
168
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.519
been in the news quite a few times this year,
169
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.639
none of them good Fred Armison talked to the Observer
170
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.960
about playing Uncle Fester in Wednesday. He was asked if
171
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.639
it's intimidating to take on such a well established character.
172
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.120
Fred said, it's nothing but awesome. I enjoy looking at
173
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.440
pictures of the nineties film or sixties TV show going
174
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.320
that's us, We're the Festers. It's like putting on a uniform.
175
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.200
You have to honor previous iterations while also making the
176
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.039
character your own. Who does he past his version on
177
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:08.480
Jackie Coogan in the original Adams Family series. The things
178
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.440
he did with his face, sort of smiling even though
179
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.039
there was no reason a smile. It reminded me of
180
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.720
Danny DeVito and one flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. He's
181
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.000
in this mental institution, but he's smiling the whole time.
182
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.360
I thought that was kind of cool. All right, how
183
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.360
do you look like Uncle Fester? Armison said, I shaved
184
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.679
my head for a start. It's a better way to
185
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.840
go than bald caps. I shave my face thoroughly too
186
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.000
than put prosthetic covers over my eyebrows. Looking totally hairless
187
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.200
makes my forehead kind of hulking. They paint Dirk circles
188
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.320
under my eyes and give me a gray corpse like
189
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.279
pallor what I always forget is my hands. They shaved
190
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.799
them too, then put dirt under my fingernails as a
191
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.840
little finishing to tail. Wow, that's fun. Seth Myers was
192
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.399
happy he finally got on Trump's radar. Kamil Nanjianni was
193
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.759
the guest non Johnny read some of Trump's rants out
194
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.799
loud and said, what I love is that he called
195
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.440
Colbert untalented, he called Kimmel even less talented than Colbert,
196
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.679
and he called Fellon insecure. And for you, Seth Myers,
197
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.039
he can buy it all three Bill Angvall, so all
198
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.759
the stars Rebut and to think about golf is he's
199
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.440
playing with his wife, and it's fun when you both suck,
200
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:12.120
but when one of you starts getting better than the other,
201
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.080
it's not so much fun. So I'm trying to catch
202
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.360
up with missus Angvall. Now that I'm going back on
203
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.360
the road, I'll have to cut back a little on golfing.
204
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.639
And did you watch the paper? I haven't gotten to
205
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.000
it yet. We're in the middle of five days of
206
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.720
football if you're also into college football, so I don't
207
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.320
know when I'll get to the paper. Maybe I'll pick
208
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.440
in an episode here and there. I am curious about it,
209
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.759
but I have low expectations. Now the reviews are interesting.
210
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.120
Now stay with me here. Pay a little attention from
211
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.879
the Seattle Times, which is a newspaper. Their headline Office
212
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:45.639
spinoff and insult to comedy and journalism. You're paying attention here, right, yes, okay,
213
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.840
they wrote The Paper is the sort of show where
214
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.399
the moments it pauses for when you're meant to laugh
215
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.559
just become agonizing pieces where you awkwardly wait for the
216
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.440
next bit. In the ten episodes of the first season,
217
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.600
there are few memorable lines to speak of, and even
218
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.879
fewer actual scenarios that even elicit a chuckle yikes. Where
219
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.720
The Office was largely sharply written and earned its more
220
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.559
absurd moments, the Paper never has some of that spark.
221
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.720
All the force modern jokes about everything from catfishing to
222
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.879
clickbait fall completely flat, and there's no Jim Helper to
223
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.200
cut away to the New York Times, which is also
224
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.679
a newspaper. Right, They said, I have good news and
225
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.399
I have bad news. The team from the Office has
226
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.039
a new comedy of decline, but it still needs to
227
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.840
figure out what the story is. They say it starts
228
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.759
funny and competent, but the template is a problem. The
229
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.679
show feels too much like a Madlib's version of the
230
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.519
characters and dynamics from the Office and similar shows without
231
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.200
a firm identity of its own. Rolling Stone, which is
232
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.080
not a newspaper, that's a magazine, but they say the
233
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.320
paper is a methodonneed version of The Office. Alan Seppenwall says,
234
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.840
the new boss on this show Ned and Ned's worst
235
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.159
moments are probably a bit closer to Andy Bernard in
236
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.360
the post Michael Office seasons, when Andy himself became a
237
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.080
watered down Michael. That's not good at all. I hated
238
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.120
when Andy was in charge because it was like they
239
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.080
had old scripts that just crossed off where it said
