00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.199
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, it's Johnny Mackets, some barking
2
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.960
dogs trying to tell you about today's daily coming news. Look, dogs,
3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.440
I gotta record this thing. I'mount of time. I gotta
4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.600
get move in here. It's a Tuesday, but there doesn't
5
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.280
seem to be a big Netflix special this week. I
6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.879
think they've cleared the runway so John mulaney can have
7
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.519
all the attention and the PR team working on that
8
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.120
high dogsky. I wonder if you guys can hear them
9
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.799
or not the noise cancelation may or may not have
10
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:35.520
gotten rid of them. I'll find out by listening back,
11
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.039
just like you did anyway. Bert Kreischer is the Netflix
12
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.600
special next week. Friday did a big profile with Bert Krescher,
13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.640
and they were curious, Hey, Bert, do you ever still bomb?
14
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.280
Where it said I don't have to bomb if I
15
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.679
don't want to. Sometimes it's good not to bomb, per se,
16
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.759
but to not lean on those little tricks that ensure
17
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.960
us to do well. Chris Rock's a perfect example. Chris
18
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:55.840
Rock works out new material. He doesn't do any of
19
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.799
the preaching on stage, the walking back and forth. Though,
20
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.920
let me tell you something, none of that he's really
21
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:01.799
he almost reads it off like a book to find
22
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:03.960
out if the material really works. I'll do a version
23
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.719
of that. There are jokes that don't work, there are
24
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:07.239
stories that don't work that I commit to you and
25
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:08.840
tell the whole thing anyway, just to see if there's
26
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.400
anything in it really, really insightful answer there, Bert, do
27
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.280
you ever go to alt comedy rooms and find it
28
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.519
more challenging? Bert said, yes, of course, I haven't done
29
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.200
it in a while. I always think I would have
30
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.319
done better in those alt rooms because I'm a storyteller,
31
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.560
and that's a more alternative approach to comedy. It feels
32
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.159
easier to swallow at the Largo or U se Be
33
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.680
or typewriter Dynastate, whereas at the comedy store you have
34
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.760
guys doing crowd work and set up punchline, and when
35
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.120
you tell stories sometimes it confuses the audience. I always
36
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:32.640
wondered how I would perform at those places, but I
37
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.439
didn't do it enough to be honest. A variety mentions
38
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.920
minor ish spoiler here, I won't ruin it for you,
39
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.519
but there is a political comment in the special, and
40
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.319
they asked Bert about that. I won't get into the specifics.
41
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.000
Bert explained, I don't have a problem telling you I am.
42
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.920
I don't want to alienate you if you come to
43
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.120
my show and preach politics. I also don't mind telling
44
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.519
you I have two little girls and a wife, and
45
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.000
I stand for women's rights, so I think that's undeniable.
46
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:54.760
I don't mind telling you I own a couple of guns.
47
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.599
I'm not going to preach my views on the NRA
48
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.359
on stage. I'll just tell you a story about having
49
00:01:58.400 --> 00:01:59.879
a gun. I'll tell you my daughter thinks I'm a
50
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.799
misogynists and make a joke about it, or tell an
51
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.159
abortion joke. There should be a joke. If you go
52
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.480
out and start preaching politics, sometimes you lose me. It's
53
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.400
sexier when I don't know your politics. I like when
54
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.159
a comedian's politics are assumed. So I like to stay
55
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.080
away from political comedy, but I'm not afraid of it.
56
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.080
Interesting follow up here, Variety. I heard you send a
57
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.280
custom Berg Kreischer calendar to people around Hollywood? Is that true?
58
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.840
I do what's in there. It's all my sexy pictures.
59
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.159
Will get you one if you want, Variety. I'm intrigued anyway.
60
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.919
What's the vibe around Hollywood? These days. In terms of
61
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.360
pitching projects, Bert said, it's the gold rush right now.
62
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.280
Hollywood is re envisioning the way they make TV and movies.
63
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.439
You look like in a place like Netflix that invests
64
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.120
maybe two hundred and fifty grand on a special for
65
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.360
the majority of comics and sees a wild return on
66
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.719
that money. Hollywood's now going let's step it up a bit.
67
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.319
What if we allow them the freedom to say whatever
68
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.840
they want and maybe we could make a movie that
69
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.759
one day was thirty five million dollars, So let's see
70
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.479
if we can do it for seven million dollars. I
71
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.719
feel very lucky to be alive and working at this point.
72
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.759
TV and movies are about to explode in Hollywood in
73
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.240
a really fun and crazy way. It's going to be
74
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.439
a lot of streamers. I don't think we're going to
75
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.000
be going to the box office. But if you look
76
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.680
at Shane Gillis's show Tires that was made on a
77
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.400
minimum and it's a great show. Shane Gillis, without a doubt,
78
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.000
is probably the most talented comedic actor of our generation.
79
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.680
I think people are looking at him and going, if
80
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.400
Shane's there, then what about THEO Vaughn? What about Naper, Ghetzee,
81
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.479
what about Dan Soder. It's gonna be really cool to
82
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.159
see Ralph Barbosa's first TV movie or Renee Vakas first
83
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.680
TV show. Whatever they decide to do, they're gonna give
84
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.759
comics a lot more freedom. Us comics, we don't need
85
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.400
a ton of money. We can make money on the road.
86
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.680
We just want to make things for our fans. Look
87
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.319
what happened to radio and podcasting. Joe Rogan runs media.
88
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.919
In my opinion, he affected an election that was based
89
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.199
on an eight hundred dollars investment buying a zoomer corder
90
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.159
and two mics. It changed the media landscape, and I
91
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.400
think that's about to happen with movies and TV. I
92
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.680
don't think you're gonna be able to get a ton
93
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.360
of people in the movie theaters. You'll need ten pole
94
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.360
events to get people in the movie theaters. You're gonna
95
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.879
have to get Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Shaquille O'Neil, and
96
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.599
Shane Gillis. I'm someone who had a movie at the
97
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.159
box office and even I'll wait until it comes to streamers.
98
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.960
I have a screening room in my house. I want
99
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.159
to use my stuff. Netflix is a great place to
100
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.199
release stuf because they're so hands off. Tom Sigre has
101
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:55.879
a project coming out I think in April. If I'm
102
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.439
not mistaken, that was untouched by Netflix. It's gonna be
103
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.639
wild as s sires as Shane and John mckeebrew's fingerprints
104
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.159
all over it. It does look like Network Notes. It
105
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.520
looks like a bunch of boys trying to make their
106
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.800
buddies laugh. I think that's the direction comedy's going in.
107
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.120
Brady said, do you think we're in a comedy renaissance? Burt? Oh? Yeah,
108
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.280
stand up comedy right now is where it was when
109
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.800
Steve Morton, Rich Pryor, Sam Kinnison Andrew Dice Clay were
110
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.959
making specials. That's two different generations, Burt, right before they
111
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.040
took over the box office. Look at all these great
112
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.560
specials that have come out recently. Hollywood producers are getting
113
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.240
younger and younger and every day, and they're enjoying these
114
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.079
comedic voices. They're gonna be like, how do I get
115
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.879
you to do your thing for me? From the New
116
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.399
York Times Turn of the show Jason Cinnamon under the
117
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.319
headline is this British flamethrower the comic best suited to
118
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.720
take on Trump, he went to go see Nish Kumar.
119
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.519
Jason writes, this is not comedy that's trying to change minds.
120
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.199
Here he attacks manosphere podcasters like Jordan Peterson, the Canadian
121
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.120
professor turned popular anti woke guru, as a radicalizing influence,
122
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.720
and comedians like Jimmy Carr who enabled them for going
123
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.720
on their shows. He also criticized the left for fixating
124
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.759
on the wrong questions like whether people can enjoy good
125
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.759
art by bad people. We all do, he says, with
126
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.600
a refreshing conclusiveness, which is why he adds, this is
127
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.920
very f I have preread this. We should all thank
128
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.160
Russell Brand for never producing anything worthwhile. No one heard
129
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.600
those allegations of sexual assault and thought, well, how well
130
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.480
I enjoy get him to the Greek That is very funny.
131
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.600
Zennaman says. What makes Kumar stand out meet the moment
132
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.879
is his lack of caution. His funniest material can be
133
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.319
appealingly reckless. His most virtue, also, bit is an elaborate
134
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:23.279
consideration of the assassination attempt of famous person who's on
135
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.480
TV a lot from New York City and own some casinos.
136
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.720
I don't need a visit from the fed types. I'm
137
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.160
just telling what Jason Zeneiman wrote. Chick it up with
138
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.800
that there's no doing it justice on the page, but
139
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.040
its rigorous justification of violent thoughts carried the spirit of
140
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.560
the ferocious comic Bill Hicks in a way that Jason
141
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.600
z Intimate hasn't seen in many years. Very interesting. If
142
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.480
feel listen to the show all the time, Niti's name
143
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.800
tends to come up. It tends to be a weekend items.
144
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.480
I usually moved the British stuff to the weekends, and
145
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.399
I see him breaking through over here. The Last Laugh
146
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.879
podcast caught off with George Wallace. I thought his comments
147
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.240
about Johnny Carson were very interesting. We'll get to that
148
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.160
in a second. George says, marketing is just another name
149
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.319
for BS. So that's why I knew Trump is a
150
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.000
bs er because it's what I do. All bs ers
151
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.839
know each other. We don't know each other, but we
152
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.240
know each other. You can see the BS coming from
153
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.759
around the corner. It's what we do. So Wallace talked
154
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.759
about being on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He
155
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.720
killed the first night and was invited back on the
156
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.879
show three more times, but he said he never got
157
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.879
the wave over to the couch. As George tells it,
158
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.720
I never got invited over to the couch, but I
159
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.040
found out something. He recalls a story he heard from
160
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.720
the manager of band leader Doc Severnson. So, as the
161
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.040
story goes, Carson quote didn't get along with unquote people
162
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.000
of color. Wallace started to notice that he wasn't the
163
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.959
only black comedian who do not get called over to
164
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.920
the couch. He points out that Red Fox never guest
165
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.959
hosted the Tonight show to fight the fact that the
166
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.839
studio was next door, and shares a story about being
167
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.079
backstage with What's Happening star Shirley Hymnfel when she got
168
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.879
bumped from a scheduled appearance. She said f Johnny Carson
169
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.040
as loud as she could and chatted, I'll never do
170
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.240
this effing show again. Wallis recalled that with a laugh
171
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.439
in the shake of his head. Did it bother Wallace
172
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.680
when he realized he may have been treated differently by Carson?
173
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.040
Of course it did, because when you do in the
174
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.600
show and you get nineteen applause breaks, that warans you
175
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.560
to say hello. At least. I just find it interesting.
176
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.480
I have no idea what the breakdown of comedians waved
177
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.040
over to the couch is or not. Will reach out
178
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.759
to Mark Malcoffee, used to do the Carson podcast. I
179
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.240
will do that as soon as we're done recording here.
180
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.879
You know, out of one hundred comedians, did two get
181
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.639
waved over? Did five? Did ninety nine? I don't know
182
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.800
of the two, five or ninety nine that got waved over.
183
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.199
I don't know what gender they were. I don't know
184
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.160
their background. I don't know the religion. I don't know
185
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:41.560
what state they were from. I don't know if they
186
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.319
were British, I don't know if they were. Drew carry
187
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.360
with classes he got waved over, but so I don't know.
188
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.839
I also don't know, never mind getting waved over what
189
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.720
the booking look like. So that's a fair question. Caleb
190
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.079
Heern did a show at the University of Arkansas and
191
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.519
The Arc Traveler caught up with him. Caleb explained, the
192
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.839
politics came to me so early and so naturally because
193
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.920
I up fat, gay, and poor in Missouri. Casual racism
194
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.480
and homophobia made him political at a very young age.
195
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.199
Politics dictates the whole of our lives, especially if you're
196
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.439
somebody who has marginalized identities. He says he focuses on
197
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.600
causes rather than candidates. He works with housing and the
198
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.879
Kansas City Tenant Union here and explains, I think hopelessness
199
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.639
is a very privileged perspective. I don't really have time
200
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.439
for hopeless people. The people I know that of the
201
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.120
most hope are doing the most, and that's what you
202
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.680
need to do, especially if you have more privileged identities.
203
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.639
We get to this one. I've bounced this a few times.
204
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.240
The show's been so busy, and I just bumped four stories.
205
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.440
Right now, let's hit gossip corner. Apparently there was some
206
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.720
speculation regarding Jamie Fox, who I used to work with.
207
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.879
I'm not going to say we were best friends or anything,
208
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.720
but I clearly worked with him and in the room
209
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.519
with him. I had many conversations with him. Anyway, there
210
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.799
was speculation about an alleged illegitimate son. On March third,
211
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.919
Jamie's nephew p J Stick to his Instagram account and
212
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.679
shared a story indicating that Uncle Fox has no son.
213
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.039
Jay also added the decline this person of being called
214
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.240
a son would be him and no one else. I
215
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.600
don't remember Jamie having a nephew, but I have not
216
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.399
worked with Jamie in probably fifteen years at this point,
217
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.039
so PJ. I don't know how old PJ is, but
218
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.559
he could have been three. You know, is now eighteen
219
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.799
years old. So that I don't remember a nephew doesn't
220
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.159
mean anything. I'm just telling you my personal experience, because
221
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:21.480
if you listen all the time, you know that I
222
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.720
kind of sort of know Jamie a little bit. Anyway.
223
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.240
A man on Twitter had alleged Jamie to be his
224
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.720
father and accused him of not being a nurturing parent.
225
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.799
Now that I will speak to having been around Jamie
226
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.279
and family members, he's a family guy. Just trust me
227
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.159
all that. I'm not going to tell you things that
228
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.879
were probably private. I've seen it with my own eyes.
229
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.679
Jamie Fox, Eric Bishop is a family guy. PJ began
230
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.600
his video laughing over the rumors, suggesting they're all baseless,
231
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.360
but there's a twist. Currently, after pj's video, the accuser
232
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.240
took to his own YouTube channel, suggesting that Fox to
233
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.600
go over a month's respond to the claims, further adding
234
00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:59.720
that he is grateful that PJ and Fox cleared this
235
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.960
up because he was joking about the alleged marks. He
236
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.679
shared a video of an apology for Fox and his family.
237
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.039
I don't know what's going on there. James Acaster has
238
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.480
confirmed that his Channel four show was axed after a
239
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:15.279
disastrous pilot and says everything went wrong. A castor hosted
240
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.360
a sixty minute episode of People Person. On that show,
241
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.840
a panel of comedians guess which member of the public
242
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.320
from a lineup is the answer to each question. A
243
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.720
castor said he did well on social media, but will
