Johnny Mac opens Daily Comedy News reacting to the amazing New York Knicks game and notes comedians and celebrities in attendance including Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, Rainn Wilson, and Taylor Swift. He mentions a viral clip of Seinfeld telling a pro-Palestinian streamer “It doesn’t exist.” He recounts Tracy Morgan’s controversial comments about teachers during a CNN/Variety Actors on Actors chat with Marcelo Hernandez. Variety interviews Marc Maron about ending his podcast, resisting new deals, and shaping his special Panicked. Mac discusses his own cat-separation routine at home, reads a one-star DM Talkies review of Tony Hinchcliffe’s Netflix special Man of the People, and announces Saturday “explainer” deep-dive episodes starting with Shane Gillis. He gives “comedy stock market” buys (USMNT, Knicks, Stef Tolev) and plugs upcoming releases from Edy Modica and Jemele Johnson.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.480
Callarogas shock media. Man, how about those New York Knicks. Hello,

2
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.199
I'm Johnny Man with your tailely comedy news. I'm still

3
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.800
buzzing about that game. We're gonna talk about that game.

4
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.359
Let me just try and focus on about comedy a

5
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.679
little bit. Adam Sandler was at the game in front

6
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:26.839
of the show Scott Beckett, who was texting with me

7
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.000
after midnight. First of all, that I was even up

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.199
after midnight watching the post game show. After that next

9
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.159
game the other night, Wow, Sandler was at the game,

10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.799
and the Athletics review said, I feel like I just

11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.439
watched uncut gems again after the game. As the legend

12
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.759
of the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler continues to take rude,

13
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.079
people are understanding what Adam Sandler is good at and

14
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.159
what he's terrible at, and what he's terrible at is,

15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.520
of course, comedy. So many comedians were at the game Sandler.

16
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.640
Of course, Jerry Seinfeld was on camera a lot, Jimmy Fallon,

17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.320
Tracy Morgan, of course. I saw a different list that

18
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.200
said Amy Schumer was there someplace, Rain Wilson, Chris Rock,

19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.120
Oh yeah, Chris Rock was on camera, and Taylor Swift

20
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.920
was there being all kinds of annoying. Somebody said, Taylor

21
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.079
Swift looks like she googles four seconds before game. How

22
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.560
do sports fans act? And then she tries to act

23
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.799
like a sports fan. She's not good at it. Now

24
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.000
I see circulating on the internet pictures of Taylor from

25
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.760
like twenty fourteen, proving that she's actually a Knicks fan,

26
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.319
but she just seems fake. Jerry Seinfeld was at the game.

27
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.400
As he walked out of the game, a pro Palestinian

28
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.680
streamer tried to get Jerry to say something about Palestine.

29
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.280
Jerry told the streamer it doesn't exist. I'm not going

30
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.079
to get into all that, but the video of the

31
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.400
incident did go viral on social media. You may have

32
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.200
seen it. Nicks fan Tracy Morgan in trouble, having nothing

33
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.120
to do with the Knicks. Tracy was hanging around with

34
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.959
that guy Marcelo Hernandez who does one thing well and

35
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.359
one thing only. They were on CNN and Variety's Actors

36
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.400
on Actors. Marcelo Hernandez revealed that he got scolded by

37
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.640
teachers for making mischief in school. Tracy Morgan said, you

38
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.079
know who gave you that voice? No they didn't understand you.

39
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.959
You had a sense of humor and they couldn't control that.

40
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.639
God gave that to you. Marcello said, Now look at it,

41
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.879
I'm getting paid for mischief, Tracy said. And they're still

42
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.840
making a minimum wage. You know how much them teachers

43
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.039
are probably making right now? Hernandez said, Man, not enough.

44
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.319
Tracy Morgan said, I can't stand teachers. You know why,

45
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.120
because they have a ceiling, a limit. That's all they

46
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.319
ever going to be. I teach my kids, sky is

47
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.360
the limit. You can tell Tracy did well in school

48
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.240
because he said that's all they ever gonna be. Then again,

49
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.800
Tracy Morgan was court side at the next game. Now,

50
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.560
if you listen to yesterday's show, you know I was

51
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.479
kind of vamping. I had my good fastball, and then

52
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.319
my wife came home. And then it's not that I

53
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.479
don't love my wife, it's that my wife starts making

54
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.039
noise upstairs because she lives here. She's allowed to live

55
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.759
here and make noise, but it throws me off. Normally,

56
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.360
I have the ouse to myself, phone a record, and

57
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.800
I get kind of loose the way I am now

58
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.199
when other people around, and you know, it's distracting. But

59
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.240
what I'm learning today is it's good that she came

60
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.599
home because I would have used this Mark Marin story yesterday,

61
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.159
And as I prepped the show today, I realized, oh,

62
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.879
there's barely anything happening. Good thing I have the Maren

63
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.120
the story for length. Variety caught up with Mark the

64
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.719
topic ending his podcast Does he miss It? Mark Maron said,

65
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.280
I don't find myself freaking out as much. I mean,

66
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.039
it was a big haul. We did a lot of episodes.

67
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.840
We did two new episodes a week. I was banking interviews.

68
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.520
It was all consuming, and anytime you stop something that's

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.199
all consuming, any kind of relationship after sixteen years, there's

70
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.199
a freedom there. I thought there would be more of

71
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.159
a panic or more of a sadness, but that really

72
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.520
didn't happen. Maren says he has resisted pitches to get

73
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.759
back behind the mic. Maren says there were people that

74
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.319
wanted to set me up somewhere, or do a deal

75
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.280
with the old catalog and do new stuff. I don't know.

76
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.639
I don't see if there's anything really special about the

77
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.240
format anymore. You know what's special about the format? Mark, Netflix,

78
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.560
Bunny take it and I don't see if there's any

79
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.520
reason to compete in the format anymore. We did a thing,

80
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.159
the more you keep doing it, when it just becomes

81
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.240
a job just kind of fades away. You'd rather not

82
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:53.639
be the guy that people are going, oh, is he

83
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.680
still doing that? Mark walked away four months too early,

84
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.039
in my opinion. The kind of feel bad for him.

85
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.520
He talked about his special Paniced, in which he joked

86
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.159
that liberals annoyed the average American into fascism. Mark said,

87
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:07.520
it's a line that came to me probably a week

88
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.080
before the special. It came out of nowhere. It was

89
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.960
quite a gift from whatever muse I'm working with. But

90
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.439
that was a line that kind of dropped in pretty

91
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.879
close to showtime. There were a couple other lines seems

92
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.439
to have resonated that particular line. He said, it took

93
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.319
two years to build Panic, but he made some tonal

94
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.639
changes a few weeks before the show. I was constantly

95
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.120
shaping it. It's sort of the way I do it.

96
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.279
I kind of keep it fluid and let new things

97
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.839
happen right up to showtime. If you really look at Panic,

98
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.120
there's a full special. There's some heavy stuff in there. Man,

99
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.240
there's stuff in there about death. There's stuff in there

100
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.439
about having to deal with childhood trauma, there's stuff about

101
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.720
processing grief. But I do notice the stuff that sticks

102
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.519
with people is lighter. How are the cats, Mark Marin.

103
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.959
I have this problem with Charlie and Buster. Charlie wants

104
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.240
to kill Buster. Buster's the old guy, Sam's middle guy,

105
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.319
and it was a lot. It was causing me a

106
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.000
lot of problems. But I put Charlie on a new

107
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.000
medicine and the advice I was given was to keep

108
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.399
them separate, but rotate them during the day so they

109
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.160
each get an equal time in the bigger part of

110
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:54.639
the house, and you know, put one in the bedroom

111
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.120
one of the main house and switch them out. It's

112
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.040
a bit much, but now I just let the meach

113
00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.920
have a floor. I think Charlie is a lot happier.

114
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.360
I don't know if it's the medicine or the space,

115
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.879
but he's happier, and that's good, good news for me.

116
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.079
There's a lot more to that interview, which is good.

117
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.480
Here I'll flip the cards over and tell you because

118
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.439
right now I have nothing for Monday. I don't have

119
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.959
a single story for Monday right now, So you might

120
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.000
hear me talking about Mark merrin website. DM Talkies watched

121
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.399
Tony Hinchcliff special. I haven't gotten to it yet. I've

122
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.800
got a list I have to watch that Josh Johnson,

123
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.879
Hannah Berner, and Dylan in the Facebook group will remind

124
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.800
me what else I haven't watched yet. I've been watching

125
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.920
The Knicks. Did I mention that? So spoilers here, I'm

126
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.279
gonna spoil you. I'm gonna spoil me. Let's see what

127
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.319
DM Talkies thought of Tony Hinchcliff's Man of the People

128
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.680
on Netflix. Well, their subheader is does disqualify as comedy

129
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.360
now and they gave it one star out of five.

130
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.560
Though I think we know where this is going. But

131
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.199
let me see what DM Talkies does, and I don't know,

132
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.199
let me do it in some sort of I rate character.

133
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.480
Tony Hinchcliff Man of the People barely qualifies as a

134
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.240
stand up comedy special. Technically, sure, it's a stand up

135
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.079
comedy special because it was a guy standing on that stage. See,

136
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:58.360
this is the kind of stuff I can't do in

137
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.680
my wife's home. If she's home, she's just sitting on

138
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.920
the couch on our iPad. I can't get into this character.

139
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.079
I just can't do it. He is trying to make

140
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.199
people laugh, and it's being presented to us in the

141
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.600
form of a Netflix special. But the man in question

142
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.639
is so spineless and the jokes are so unfunny that

143
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.920
it's hard to see what makes this event so special?

144
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.959
Is this this bad? I thought I saw Dylan in

145
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.040
the group say that it was pretty good or okay,

146
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:22.839
let me check. I don't want to put words in

147
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.879
Dylan's mouth. Hold on, oh no, oh no, no, not

148
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.480
oh no, oh good. I just see here. An hour ago,

149
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.399
as I record this, Dylan posted a list of somebody's

150
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.319
top comedians of the twenty first century. That's some good

151
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.199
filler if I have nothing for Monday. All right, here's

152
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.079
Dylan's scorecard. I'm in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News

153
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.160
podcast group. Yeah, Tony Hinchcliffe is that at number sixteen

154
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.519
at an AUS? So who knows? Do we trust Dylan

155
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.519
or do we trust DM Talkies who wrote? But the

156
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.800
man in question is so spineless and the jokes are

157
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.360
so unfunny that it's hard to see what makes this

158
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.959
event so special. I don't even know what to say

159
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.480
about man other people because the whole thing was bad

160
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.879
from start to finish. Even killed Tony had its moments. Tony,

161
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.959
in his own stand up special, started off proceedings with

162
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.279
a joke about him not being gay, seeing his gun

163
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.399
as his second fallas, and wanting to put it in

164
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.240
his mouth, not in an homosexual way, but in a

165
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.240
suicideal way. I didn't laugh at that, but in hindsight,

166
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:17.759
I think I should have filled up my quote of

167
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.680
laughter at that point, because it was all downhill after that. Well,

168
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.480
based on that, the way that joke was described to

169
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.000
this reviewer might be correct. I'm gonna watch this thing.

170
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.199
He followed that up with a crowd interaction bit where

171
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.120
he assumed the guy's sexual orientation, objectified the woman sitting

172
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.800
beside that guy, and then compared to another guy sitting

173
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.720
next to that woman with a mass shooter. And Tony

174
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.680
kept coming back to those three and every time he

175
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.240
did it, the vibes got worse. Being honest, here actually

176
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.040
fell sorry for all the people who were sitting in

177
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.839
the front rows. I know they paid for that experience,

178
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.199
and yet I think they deserved better. Let's see, they

179
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.519
also tell us a Man of the People featured racist jokes,

180
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.480
praise for Trump, abortion jokes. By the time Tony began

181
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.879
praising Donald Trump for being the most amazing president of

182
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.519
all time, I think I probably dozed off, writes the reviewer.

183
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.160
The review ends with what I'm saying is your jokes

184
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.879
need to be good enough to justify the lack of theatrics. Really,

185
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.519
you can't just go out on stage tell jokes. I

186
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.160
think you can. Recently, the only comic that has successfully

187
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.519
done that while also using the stage in an intelligent

188
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.439
fashion is Taylor tunluit'son her latest comedy specials available on Netflix.

189
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.360
Maybe Tony Hinchcliff and is quote unquote fans should watch

190
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.600
that as soon as possible to understand what a good

191
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.439
stand up comedy special looks like. Dave Schpelle's I'm Playing

192
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.279
in a Park later this summer. By the way, all right,

193
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.360
we are making lemonade here today. Quick programming note. I

194
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.919
shared a little bit about this the other day. So

195
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.519
I'm gonna try something on Saturdays for the summer. I'm

196
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.080
gonna deal it straight, tell you why I'm doing it.

197
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:41.480
If you hate it, let me know in the Facebook

198
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.159
group or on Spotify Daly Comedy News podcast group. But

199
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.399
the way search engines are working has changed, and you

200
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.440
used to do a certain thing called SEO to get

201
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.679
your stuff found, and now it's kind of moving to

202
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:56.399
the AI. So I have recorded a few explainer episodes.

203
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.679
They are deep dives on a single topic. Tomorrow's is

204
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.759
about Shane Gillis. Then the next week kill Tony, and

205
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.399
the week after that Joe Rogan, and we'll get into

206
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.559
some other stuff and I'll talk about a longer plan

207
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.600
I have there. So the idea is that these episodes

208
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.399
will do better in search engines, which will help people

209
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.120
discover the show and the other six days and plus

210
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.720
completely transparently in the summer especially. You know, I like

211
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:23.480
to do stuff on the weekend, so I like to

212
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.360
pre tape and then you have a week like this.

213
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.240
If I didn't do an explainer episode tomorrow, tomorrow would

214
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.360
be the leftovers from Mark Maren and the David cross story.

215
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.600
I just bumped and I don't know, probably some stuff

216
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.279
about Toronto comedians that I have in a folder labeled leftovers.

217
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.960
So it kind of works on two levels there. It'll

218
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.919
give the show a longer tail. And then off the

219
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.159
cold beer thing. I had this other thing I wanted

220
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.120
to do, which I was gonna do as a sister series.

221
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.000
So I probably will do it as a sister series

222
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.039
and also use them as Saturday episodes. But I wanted

223
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.240
to do one episode each about late night hosts like

224
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.639
Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, the Worst Person who

225
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.440
Ever lived, Jay Leno o'conen, maybe some Ferguson. So I

226
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.960
think that will go into this model as well. If

227
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.039
you're a longtime listener during the pandemic, as the pandemic

228
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.399
got longer, you may recall, especially in January, I was

229
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.080
doing things like that. I did a four episode thing

230
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.240
about Letterman at one point and started doing deep dives

231
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.519
on just like Sam Kinnison stories, things like that. So

232
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.039
this is kind of that, but a little more focused

233
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.639
to get the search engines to like the show better.

234
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.120
So that's what's going on. That'll be tomorrow, and with that,

235
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:42.759
it is time for the comedy stock market. Comedy stock markets,

236
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.000
all right, I've got three buy recommendations for you. First,

237
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.360
buy the US men's national team. It's the World Cup

238
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.240
and they play Paraguay tonight, and people think the US

239
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.879
men's national team might not be all that good. But

240
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.759
the premise here of comedy stock market is we buy low,

241
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:02.240
we sell high. So get on board, have fun, be

242
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.279
a bandwagon fan. It's Team USA. You like USA? Right,

243
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.480
You're not living in Vancouver or the suburbs up there

244
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:16.879
or something. Right, No, you're an American Team USA. Sorry

245
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.960
I got distracted. My son just texted me that he

246
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.279
met Michael Bloomberg. Guy will have to text him back.

247
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.360
I'm believing all that in That's why I stopped talking

248
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.639
there Where was I always making fun of my chishim

249
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.039
up in Vancouver rooting? He's probably rooting for Team Canada.

250
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.879
That seems like something he would do. Anyway, Buy Team

251
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.559
USA and watch the game tonight. Also buy stock in

252
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.600
the New York Knicks. Now, John, they're all time high

253
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.240
value coming off that amazing win the other night. I know,

254
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.919
and it doesn't go with the premise of comedy stock market. Plus,

255
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.720
the Knicks aren't comedians, but we're buying New York Knicks stock.

256
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.799
And then one actual comedian, Steph Tolev. I really liked

257
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.519
that deal she did with thoms I Gore's Yamah Studios,

258
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.559
and I think that will help her career. So we'll

259
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.919
buy Steph Tolev, We'll buy the Knicks and We'll buy

260
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.720
the US men's national team. Edie Motica will have a

261
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.120
comedy special. It's called I'm Just Like You and It Sucks.

262
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.639
It'll be on Veeps June twenty sixth, and then a

263
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.000
wider YouTube release in September. You may know her from

264
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.759
Jury Duty. On I'm Just Like You and It Sucks,

265
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.279
Edie discusses her longing for human connection and all the

266
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.879
way she's contorted herself in search of it, whether it

267
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.639
be talking to stains on her aunt's carpet, making out

268
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:23.039
with a pair of brothers on a cruise. In two

269
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.919
thousand and seven, we're talking to a stranger about his

270
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.360
late girlfriend who died in a car accident. Edie will

271
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.200
stop it nothing to feel and spread the love to

272
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.720
the world around her. Edie guides the audience through her

273
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.120
life as an angry, poor kid, a sexually deviant teen,

274
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.080
all the way to where she is now, a poor

275
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.840
yet slightly famous, sexual devian's adult with a passion for

276
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.759
a human connection. Born and raised in New Yorker, from

277
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.559
Nyak to Bay Ridge to Ridgewood, I bet I know

278
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.240
what basketball team she roots for. Edie is best known

279
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.279
for her role in the Emmy nominated comedy Jury Duty

280
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:57.360
out today. Jamel Johnson's album mid Range, Jammel's third album,

281
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.600
shot live in one take at Sports Drink in New Orleans.

282
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.200
On mid Range, Jamal brings levity to serious topics like

283
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.440
the racial biases of artificial intelligence, the way men encourage

284
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.399
toxic masculinity, and the pros and cons of being a

285
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.360
fat boyfriend. That's mid range available through blonde medicine. And

286
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.960
that is your comedy news for today. Pretty good one,

287
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.720
considering I kind of had nothing. Thank you, NIX, Go

288
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.679
Team USA, Go NIX tomorrow night, back tomorrow with the

289
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.360
Shane Gillis episode, and then back on Sunday with a

290
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.240
normal one and hopefully an NBA championship. See you then,
