Marc Maron tears into Matt Rife, probably ticks off Dane Cook and Bill Maher while at it!

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.800
Callaroga Shark Media. Wait to hear
this one. I couldn't wait to tell

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.880
you about it. Hi, I'm
Johnny Meck with your Daily Comedy News.

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.600
Do you hear the green on my
face? Oh? I love a good

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.440
comedian fight. Sean McCarthy writes for
The Daily Beast. Sean was at the

5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.160
New York Public Library on Wednesday,
so was Cliff nester Off. He has

6
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.600
a new book called Outrageous, A
History of Showbiz in the Culture Wars.

7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.200
Appearing on stage with Cliff Mark Maren
Mark Maren took a question about Matt Rife.

8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.840
Maren said, well, first of
all, like, don't jump the

9
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.079
gun on Matt Rife if you don't
know who he is. He's the new

10
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.280
it boy of a crappy comedy and
he's taken a big chance in his career

11
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.960
right now to crap on the mostly
female audience he accumulated through social media disorder.

12
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.119
Kiss up to these pseudo edge lords, and personally, I don't think

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.000
it's gonna go well for him and
ultimately, my producer, Brendan MacDonald,

14
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.520
the Genius, made a good point
in saying that he thinks Matt Rife is

15
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.119
actually mobilizing a new generation of comics
to push back against what it stands for,

16
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.679
much the way that Dane Cook did
at a different time, to once

17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.359
again, you know, be creative
and bring a new energy and voice to

18
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.640
what that doesn't represent. So maybe
within show business there is hope. Nestor

19
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.239
Off talked about the connection between Matt
Rife and Dane Cook. Maren joked that

20
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.000
Riife might have a righteous grievance before
adding, I forget this is going out

21
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.280
on the internet right now. He
dropped an F bomb, and now I'm

22
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.359
gonna have to deal with Dane calling
me. Hey, dude, it thought

23
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.359
we were good. Hey, look, we're all in the same business.

24
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.439
We're just trying to entertain people.
Maren and nestor Off talked about Lenny Bruce,

25
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.400
George Carl and Richard Pryor. Nestroff
said they weren't merely trying to be

26
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.359
provocative. Today this whole genre of
provocateur comedy where a guy go up on

27
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:38.599
stage will say a word that he
knows is going to get an ooh and

28
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.959
an ah says the word or the
statement gets to the U in the E.

29
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.920
The comic is like, what what
what you designed it to get that

30
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.439
reaction, and now you're feigning this
outrage, Maren said, it's a false

31
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.760
premise, this hackneyed idea. What
they're actually doing is co opting the idea

32
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.480
that their free speech words, and
they're actually fighting for the ability and not

33
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.879
the right, but the space to
further marginalize people. Nest off. But

34
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.480
it's two forms of free speed,
each pressing against each other. And if

35
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.400
you're going to defend only the bigot, not the anti bigot, like who

36
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.959
that for you? What's wrong with
you? Maren? I'll tell you they

37
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.319
are. It's half the country.
They perfected this propagantic because they're very organized.

38
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.439
It's been going on for a long
time. But the whole idea of

39
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.719
wokeism generally speaking, you know,
doesn't even mean it says, this amazing

40
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.360
umbrella term for everything the right's been
pushing back at just takes over everything and

41
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.120
it makes it this single object focuseddaeology
which doesn't even mean anything. And now

42
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.599
the big word what sands to me
is there were guys and one woman,

43
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.719
Roseanne, who were pretty amazing comic
towns who have sort of fallen for this

44
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.000
idea that they're being muscled to not
be able to express themselves. In the

45
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:37.400
book, Nestrov condemns the David Spades
sitcom Just Shoot Me and also Dawson's Creek

46
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.039
and says they are leading to the
downfall of America. Maren said, and

47
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.560
I think the point is here,
these guys just have to die. Suit

48
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.680
her. We're seeing with Bill morenew
Maren realizes what he's done and says,

49
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.199
again, I'm going to be feeling
calls and probably some sweets that are not

50
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.000
going to Eh, it doesn't matter. I love this more from Maren.

51
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.280
What we don't realize is at any
given point in time, you know the

52
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.360
ten comedians that are popular, there's
literally a thousand that no one effing knows

53
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.520
about. And I think it's the
same generationally now whether the platforms, whether

54
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.039
it's TikTok or whatever, there are
a lot more comics and a lot more

55
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.840
visibility. You can get contact out
there that will put you on the radar.

56
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.800
But in order to stain a career
in show business, you must be

57
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.120
able to do the job, and
the nature of that job doesn't seem to

58
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.680
really change that much. But I
do think this is different, and I

59
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.039
think that ultimately what happens that is
sad is that when I see these younger

60
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.919
comics or comics a couple generations from
me, and they think they're doing something

61
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.759
amazingly new, it's really not,
and they think they're inventing it. I

62
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.759
guess every generation does. But I
think there's hope, and that seems that

63
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.639
true artists and true comics and people
that really have something to say in a

64
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.439
creative generally surface in a big way. So I think that's optimistic. Right.

65
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.919
Oh my goodness. I love that. Hopefully Bill Marndane Cook get annoyed

66
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.560
this and Matt Riich shoots back because
it's December. I'll take all the content

67
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.120
I can get. This is wonderful. I love it. Keep going.

68
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.520
Mark Moontower announced the lineup for the
now very worthy titles moon Tower Just for

69
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.919
Laughs Austin Moontower Just for Laughs Austin
will take place April tenth through the twenty

70
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.479
first. Headliners include Andrew Schultz,
Sheen Gillis, The Office Ladies, Jennie

71
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.479
Fisher and Angela Kinsey, Kathy Griffin, Nicole Byer, Mark Maren and a

72
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.759
screening of Ferris Bueller's Day Off,
followed by a Q and A with Alan

73
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.680
Ruck, who played Cameron in the
movie, as well as Connor roy on

74
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:17.439
Succession. You know that guy also
played Captain John Harriman in Star Trek Generations,

75
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.879
The State, Worr Knight, Michael
ian Black, Thomas Lennon, Michael

76
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:27.000
Patrick, Jen Kevin Allison, Carrie
Kenny Silver, Joelatruglio, David Wayne,

77
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.360
and Ken Marino. That's pretty cool. So I thought this was fun.

78
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.319
I saw up breakout. There's Moontower, twenty twenty four headliners, and then

79
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.759
a section called also performing. All
right, so your headliners are here,

80
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.639
comes John reading a list if you
want to hit skip, Amy Sidaris,

81
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.319
Andrew Schultz, Ari Shaffer, Brad
Williams, Kat Cohen. One of your

82
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.040
headliners, Darcy and Jerr. Remember
I talked to them back in the summer.

83
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.199
They're pretty cool. Desi Banks one
of your headliners, Frankie Kinyonis,

84
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.000
Joe Parrah, Kathy Griffin, Ken
Flora is one of your headliners, Mark

85
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.439
Maren, Margaret chow Berbiggs, mo
Hart, Nicole Byer, The Office,

86
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.639
Lady's Roy Withoo Junior, Shane Gillis, The State, Reunion, and Sugar

87
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.720
Sammy now in the also Performing.
I won't read all the names, but

88
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.800
some of the also performers catching my
eye, Todd Berry, who in my

89
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.839
opinion as the best special of the
year, also performing, also performing,

90
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:21.519
The Scar Brothers also performing, Shane
Torres also performing, Liza Trigger So I'm

91
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.000
not sure why they're broken out into
the also performing, but Moontower looks pretty

92
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.319
good. Shane McGowan from The Pogues, who passed away this week, we

93
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.399
have learned he spent his final months
binging on Father Ted. Another Father Ted

94
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.800
mentioned I'm telling you if Father Ted's
where it's at, find it. I

95
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.839
told you about it the other day
his wife Victoria, it's all the sun.

96
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.199
So he wouldn't get bored. We
brought in a DVD player to Shane

97
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.040
and we've given him presents of classic
movies on DVD and apparently episodes of Father

98
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.480
Ted. The New York Football Giants
have a bye today, but Tracy Morgan

99
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.319
has been joking about their quarterback,
Tommy DeVito. You know about this guy.

100
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.920
Everybody on the Giants got hurt and
some dude name Tommy DeVito has been

101
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.639
playing quarterback. DeVito lives at home, why because his parents' house is right

102
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.839
by the stadium. He's like,
it's just easy and Jay dot Com spoke

103
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.480
to Tracy Morgan about New York Football
Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito and said, hey,

104
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:12.639
Tracy, when did you move out
of your mother's house? Because you're

105
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.519
starting quarterback right now, Tommy DeVito
still lives with his mom and dad.

106
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.519
Tracy said, that's a good thing. That's healthy. He needs all the

107
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.480
caregiving and get You can't just get
coaching on the field. You gotta get

108
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.120
coaching at home. Coach Brian Dayball
won't tell him to make his bed and

109
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.360
Jay dot com but that's a grown
man, Tracy. You can't live at

110
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.079
home and you're making a million dollars. Divito will actually make nine hundred thousand

111
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.600
dollars this year. Tracy said,
sure you can. I did. I

112
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.800
was living at home when I got
hit by that Walmart truck. My mother

113
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.920
said, thank god it was Walmart
and not Walgreens. That's a great joke,

114
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.759
Tracy. Hazy Central took my chair
on old Man Mountain and they wrote,

115
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.480
hey, remember when Eddie Murphy ruled
comedy. They're self aware and wrote,

116
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.600
I know, pull up a chair
and let me grab my earhorn and

117
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.560
I'll finish with my geezer story.
Murphy shots of fame on Saturday Night Live

118
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.839
and starting great movies like forty eight
Hours and trading places in good movies like

119
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.800
Beverly Hills Cop and was the most
exciting stand up comic since Richard Pryorhere now

120
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.199
Murphy makes movies like Candy Cane Lane
a more decent than you think prime video

121
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.399
holiday family film. The point is
Murphy used to be the funniest person on

122
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.279
the planet. Now he's not even
the funniest person in the movie. In

123
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.079
fairness, he's not trying to be, but still apparently Eddie plays the straight

124
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.000
man for much of Candy Kane Lane. He stars as Chris Carver, a

125
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.959
husband and father who loves Christmas.
Low Despite his best efforts, he can't

126
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.959
win the annual holiday decorations contest on
his block. Again, I don't know

127
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.000
how this is not a d Adam
Sandler movie. This screams Adam Sandlor to

128
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.959
me. Anyway, plot points don't
matter. The important part for the purposes

129
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:39.040
of this podcast is apparently Chris Red
is very funny. In Itzy Central writes,

130
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.120
everything that comes out of the mouth
of Chris Red's character is comedy gold.

131
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.920
He's hilarious. Two and a half
stars. TV insider wrote, who

132
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.079
will be the new host of The
Daily Show? Seventeen options ranked. I

133
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.199
have not looked at this because I
like to react as I see it.

134
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.600
Least likely, they say Al Franken, the former Senator, had the highest

135
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.319
ratings of the guest host earlier.
That's interesting, but DV insider says if

136
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.560
Comedy Central wanted an older host that
would excite fans from all generations, it

137
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.879
would need to be John Stewart.
Also in the least likely category, John

138
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.399
Leguizamo, Yeah, I agree,
that's not happening. Least likely Hassan Minhaj

139
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:20.360
Wow. He basically had the chair
oops. Least likely Roy Wood Junior.

140
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.040
They said Roy is made a clear
he's moving on. Least likely Chelsea Handler

141
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.959
they rate I don't think she'd want
the full time gig. I'm not so

142
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.360
sure about that. Least likely Sarah
Silverman, They say the same applies to

143
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.879
Sarah Silverman, that applies to Chelsea
Handler and John Leguizamo. They're good fits

144
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.159
as guest host, but got other
stuff going on. Least likely Leslie Jones.

145
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.320
They don't think she would want to
commit to one big thing. Not

146
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.879
so sure. Likely Ronnie Ching during
the week, there was an interview with

147
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.559
Ronnie Chang. He didn't seem interested
in it. Likely Michael Costa. He

148
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.679
was the first guest host of the
New Roster that kicked off in October.

149
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.639
I haven't seen much buzz Onsta.
Likely Desi Lydick. She could be a

150
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.279
really good choice. Let's keep an
eye on her. Also during the week,

151
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.320
there was an interview with her likely
d'll say Sloan. Likely Jordan Klepper.

152
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.360
They point out he's the last remaining
correspondent who was on the show when

153
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.720
John Stewart was host. Likely Michelle
Wolfe. I think she would be fantastic,

154
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.279
and they write, likely John Stewart, that's not happening. That said,

155
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.159
I have advocated for an idea where
the Daily Show moves to CBS proper

156
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.039
and John Stewart comes back. But
I guess you could just give John Stewart

157
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.440
a political show on CBS A not
brand it with the Daily Show. I

158
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.039
don't know. I think it makes
a lot of sense. They've got paramount

159
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.399
plus as a streamer. John's apple
gig is over. It's an election year.

160
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.639
Maybe John comes back for a year
and you figure it out from there.

161
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.000
Maybe John does four nights a week
and you let somebody else do the

162
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.120
fifth day, so we get used
to them like they did thirty years ago

163
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.159
with Jay Leno and Johnny Carson.
TV Insider has Charlemagne the God as likely.

164
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.320
Charlemagne is back hosting this week.
They have Deesus Nice in the likely

165
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.639
category. I thought his appearance was
not as awesome as the other appearances.

166
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.639
Nudge nudge, wink wink Ooh.
Now the most likely category cal Pen,

167
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.519
who will guest host again on week
of December eleventh. TV Inside reminds us

168
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:22.200
Calpen was the Associate Director of the
White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental

169
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.480
Affairs during the Obama administration and start
on his own show, The Big Picture

170
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.320
with cal Pen that's similar to the
Daily Show style. I don't remember that

171
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.840
show at all. They add as
a bonus, Penn is a gay South

172
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.879
Asian man, which would diversify the
late night talk show space. And that

173
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.840
is your comedy news for today.
You can follow the show for free on

174
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.080
Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube,
overcast podcast where show. If you like

175
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.799
the show, tell somebody about it
theym I like it too. See tomorrow
