00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.839
Caalarogu shock media.
2
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.199
And there Johnny Mack if your daily comedy medis thinks
3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.480
you're kicking back up after the hollin a and I
4
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.719
think that's what the open theme back the way it was.
5
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.199
So things are pretty good here. Mark Ruffalo has criticized
6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.559
Joe Rogan for Joe Rogan's shock over Trump's ice raids.
7
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.839
Ruffalo says, it's a little late now. Johnny Mack likes
8
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.280
a comedian controversy. Let's throw some kerosene on this one.
9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.560
On the July second episode of The Joe Rogan Experience,
10
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.079
Joe Rogan said, there are two things that are insane.
11
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.000
One is the targeting of migrant workers. Not cartel members,
12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.799
not gang members, not drug dealers, just construction workers showing
13
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.799
up in construction sites raiding them Gardners like really. Mark
14
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.079
Ruffalo went on Threads on July sixth and said, Dear
15
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.960
Joe Rogan, it's a little late now to pretend like
16
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.600
Project twenty twenty five didn't exist and wasn't the playbook
17
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.119
all along. You were either not that smarter, not that dumb.
18
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.679
It's hard to tell at this point. Rogan had not
19
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.719
responded at the time of this recording. John Stewart was
20
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.560
back offacation. On Monday Night's Daily Show. He commented on
21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.680
the lawsuit that parent company Paramount settled against President Trump.
22
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.599
The bit was John was doing commentary on the lawsuit,
23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.879
then cut off by a graphic that read, please stand by,
24
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.640
brought to you by Arby's for when you want a
25
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.040
sandwich commensurate with your company's shame. The camera cut back
26
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.719
to John Stewart and he said, that's why it's so wrong.
27
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.879
In case you missed it, Paramount Global has agreed to
28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.000
pay sixteen million dollars to settle a lawsuit from Donald Trump,
29
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.079
who sued over the editing over the October interview that
30
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:41.439
sixty minutes conducted with Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, Hey, Craig Robinson, lame, lame, lame,
31
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.239
lame lame. Let me just say that again, in case
32
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.319
Craig didn't hear me the first time, Hey, Craig Robinson, lame.
33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.200
Daily Comedy News and many other media outlets reported that
34
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.920
Craig Robinson was retiring from comedy. My spidy sense was
35
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.120
tingling a little bit, so it is now believed that
36
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.480
the retirement is part of a brand new marketing campaign.
37
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.000
For a cell phone company. I'm not going to mention
38
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.199
the cell phone company. Craig's original words included retiring from
39
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.039
comedy to pursue his true calling. In Los Angeles, there
40
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.080
were now billboards in the color scheme of a particular
41
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.080
cell phone company that's say Craig Robinson is quitting comedy.
42
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.080
People are suspicious, thinking why would Craig take out a
43
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.159
billboard saying that Craig has previously started in commercials for
44
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.400
this particular cell phone company, in which he called himself
45
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.520
the company's chief technology officer. A second spot co starred
46
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.039
Brian Bombgartner from the Office, and a third featured Robinson
47
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.919
and bomb Gartner with Rain Wilson, Jenni Fisher, Creed Bratton,
48
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.479
and Kate Flannery. So, Craig, I hope you liked your attention,
49
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.199
and I hope it was worth it, and I hope
50
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.039
the cell phone company pays well because not a good look.
51
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.719
GQ has a nice profile with Roywood Junior, mostly about baseball.
52
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.479
I'm going to use some of it on Saturday and
53
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.319
some of it on Monday because it's about baseball and
54
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.199
home runs on Monday's the home Run Derby. But Roy
55
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.719
did share that he still takes his baseball gloves to
56
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.000
games and said, I remember I got up set on
57
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.520
a date one time when I lived in LA I'd
58
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.319
go to spring training every year for a weekend and
59
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.400
just ingest as much baseball as I could. A woman
60
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:13.639
I was dating at the time talk to me and
61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.520
to let him come with me. Then she's like, this
62
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.360
is embarrassing. You're a child, and I was like, you
63
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.719
know what, Yeah, I am. Anthony Anderson is guest hosting
64
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.919
Jimmy Kimmel Live. They were doing some man on the
65
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.520
Street stuff, the question what's the whitest thing about you?
66
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.159
Anderson explained the segment was directed at quote black folks
67
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.039
on Hollywood Boulevard, tagging the joke with to do the
68
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.719
opposite would have been racist. One man confessed to a
69
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.199
love of pumpkin spice. According to Late Nighter, another woman
70
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.680
said she's a vegan, and then who showed up on
71
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.319
camera Chris Rock. He joked the whitest thing about me?
72
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.479
And I have to keep this clean here. I'm gonna
73
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:49.919
read it as Late Night or has it because I
74
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.280
don't want to get dirty user imagination. Chris Rock said
75
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.240
the whitest thing about me. That would have to be
76
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.840
my bleep. I try about once a month to thank
77
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.000
all the members in support orders of the show, the
78
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.439
folks who have gone to buy me Acoffee dot Com,
79
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.759
a slash daily comedy news, the National donut chain. Right now,
80
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.879
they have a new flavor, a cookie dough that I'm
81
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.159
kind of into with my coffee. They got rid of
82
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.039
the orange donut. The orange donut was like the most
83
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.040
amazing donut. They do this every now and then. I mean,
84
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.800
I'm going back twenty years. There was a lemon glazed
85
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.839
that showed up around Easter one year and it was
86
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.480
the all time best donuts chained donut. And it never
87
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.000
came back. I'm still waiting for it. Anytime I'm in
88
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.519
the South and they have those maple frosteds. You can't
89
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.800
get those in New Jersey. I love them good maple frosted.
90
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.199
But in June they had an orange donut. Oh it
91
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.920
was so good. And listen to me, I've lived in
92
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.399
New Jersey for twenty years now. I just said orange
93
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.120
instead of orange. My kids make fun of me when
94
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.000
I talk about Queen's neighborhoods like Forest Hills and they're
95
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.319
like forest Forest, but I just said orange, I heard myself. Ugh,
96
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.480
punch yourself in the face, Jonny mackew losing your New
97
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.720

There's some money in the tip show. I will go

00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.680
to the National Donuts chain. I will take your money.
103
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.399
I will buy a large iced coffee with I guess
104
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.600
this month cookie dough and almond milk getting old That
105
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.519

Good News Stories, which I also host and I have
111
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.720
to record a bunch of those right after this. Did
112
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.680
you see this about the movie Rush Hour? Remember the
113
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.600
nineteen ninety eight movie stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
114
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:40.279
Well.
115
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.279
Now Prime Video has a disclaimer Before the credits, it reads,
116
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.560
we all love our buddy comedies, but this movie was
117
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.199
created in a different time. FYI, certain depictions, language and
118
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.040
humor may seem outdated and at times offensive. They've added
119
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.439
similar messages to Goodfellas, Blazing Saddles, and Gone with the Wind?
120
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.199
All right, what's the problem with Russia Hour, Johnny Mack,
121
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.399
I haven't seen it in a while. Well, luckily there's
122
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.879
a summary here. Apparently there are multiple jokes built on
123
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.519
confusing Chinese and Japanese culture. There's a running gag about
124
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.319
Latino gang members accents. In two thousand and two, so
125
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.560
that's twenty three years ago. Jackie Chance said, I make
126
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.720
the movie, and a Telmet manager see, I should never
127
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.240
make this kind of movie. Then I go to Asia
128
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.040
and make Asian films and they call me and they say,
129
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.000
and I'm going to paraphrase his language here, or it's
130
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.600
gonna sound like I'm doing a stereotype. Jackie said along
131
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.639
the lines of, hey, Jackie, it's a big hit. It's
132
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.319
a success. And I say what And then I go
133
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.160
make Rush Hour two and I hate it. It's worse
134
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:34.800
than Rush Hour one. They call me and they say
135
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.800
it's a success and Craig Robinson probably would like this one.
136
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.600
My Spidey sense is tingling about this. Comedian Ross Noble
137
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.319
is appearing on ITV's reality series Shark Celebrity Infested Waters.
138
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.759
All right, it's Shark Celebrity Infested Waters. Ross Nobles on
139
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:52.759
it and what do you know?
140
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.079
A shark bit him?
141
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:54.839
Yeah?
142
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:55.480
Did it?
143
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.639
Or is this press? Let's find out? Ross Noble said,
144
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.360
imagine at David Attenborough dot coumentary. Right, but Attenborough's got
145
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.120
an idiot mate who just jumped in with the animals,
146
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.199
so we can see how big they are, and you
147
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.120
learn something about these big creatures along the way. Depending
148
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.360
on what cock caught on the camera, you could see
149
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.360
me get nibbled by a shark. I think a lot
150
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.920
of people would instantly think, oh, shark's change your big teeth.
151
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.120
I've never really had that fear. I watch a lot
152
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.199
of television, so I see a lot of shark documentaries.
153
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.439
The big thing I realized is it's not jaws. Sharks
154
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.360
don't attack people. The only way a shark has got
155
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.240
to find out what another thing is is to have
156
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.360
a little nibble of it. I always knew that when
157
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.519
they attack surfers. It's because they think they're seals. So
158
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.040
that's the story behind comedian bitten by Shark. Hey ITV,
159
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.399
you got me to talk about it, Shark celebrity infested
160
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.959
waters mondays at nine. That's your comedy news for today,
161
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.439
see tomorrow. I'll stick around for this interview our sister.
162
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.839
I'm going to bring forward and yours and give it
163
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.920
to you now. And he said, oh wow, that's great,
164
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.199
thank you. That's so generous of you, Carl, that's great.
165
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:57.079
But his wife, my sister in law, went ballistic. She said,
166
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.079
this is too much money, this is wrong. I don't
167
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.160
want anything to do with and stormed out of the room.
168
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.360
And I thought, well, that's not what I expected.
169
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.439
Oh my god. So I realized from that that this
170
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.839
was not an easy thing to do. So I learned
171
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.680
a lesson from that, and I knew that I had
172
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.519
to do this authentically. I had to do it right,
173
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.160
otherwise it was not going to work. So that happened.
174
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.680
And then the third thing that happened was that I
175
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.360
was looking at my financial statements and I had more
176
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.439
money there than I was really using. It was sitting there,
177
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.000
I mean, it was growing, making profits and so forth,
178
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.639
but it wasn't being used. I wasn't using it for me.
179
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.080
I wasn't using it for things that I really cared about,
180
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.240
not for my people. So I thought, well, if I
181
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.559
have all this money, now, why should I wait until
182
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.759
I die? Why don't I bring it forward? And then
183
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.799
it was a long process for me to come around
184
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.200
to that, but that's what finally started this, and I said,
185
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:50.840
well I'll do it.
186
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.320
Now. Let's back up just a bit. Tell us a
187
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.679
little bit about your new book. What is the Happiness Experiment.
188
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.200
Well, this is a record of the real events with
189
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.519
real people who I decided that I would bring forward
190
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.440
the inheritance the money I had for them in my
191
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.159
will and made it a prequest. So it was a
192
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.039
chunk of money that they were going to get. Well,
193
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:16.799
they were still young enough to enjoy it, and I
194
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.159
was still alive to see it happening. So I saw
195
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.039
what they were doing. So when I sat down with them,
196
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.559
I talked about money and happiness and how one can cognect,
197
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.440
and I said, look, I'm going to bring this forward
198
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.200
to give it to you, but what I want from
199
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.879
you is a plan so that you use this money.
200
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.080
So it's really a big benefit for you. I don't
201
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.840
want this to overwhelm you. And they said what kind
202
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.759
of plan? I said, I want a happiness plan, and
203
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.559
they said, a happiness plan?
204
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.120
What's that?
205
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.759
So you know, nobody has seems to have a happiness plan,
206
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.120
but it's one of the most important plans you can get,
207
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:52.799
and it doesn't have to be very complex. What is
208
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.519
it that makes you happy? What values do you want
209
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.200
to pursue? You know, what goals and dreams do you have,
210
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.840
and you can pursue them. So I got them to
211
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.759
write a happiness plan. And then when I saw the plan,
212
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.039
I gave them all the money all at one time,
213
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.960
and so then they took it and I watched them
214
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.080
with their plan. I saw all their plans, what they did,
215
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.440
and how they became happier, and so you know, that
216
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.559
had to be written about so because I wanted other
217
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.360
people to see what they did so that they too
218
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:21.759
could do the same thing.
219
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.080
Which prequest is the most unique one you've come across.
220
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.000
Well, it was a very very painful and sad story
221
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.120
because two dear friends of mine had a beloved daughter
222
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.159
and she was hit head on by a drunk driver
223
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.519
and killed. She happened to be eight months pregnant at
224
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.159
the time, so that killed the granddaughter too, and also
225
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.240
their daughter. They were totally totally wiped out, devastated, and
226
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.960
they died emotionally. They had decided that they could never
227
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.600
be happy again. They would be wrong to be happy.
228
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.159
They didn't deserve to be high happy because their darling
229
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:06.960
daughter had been killed. Tremendously painful, awful, awful story. So
230
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.559
they were grieving six years later and I met with
231
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.840
them and I told them how much they had added
232
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.200
to my life and how much I was so grateful
233
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.399
to them, and that I wanted to express the gratitude
234
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.279
and I put them in my will and they could
235
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.159
accept that. And I said, but I want you to
236
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.639
have it now, and they said, oh no, no, we
237
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.600
can't accept it. They turned it down. They turned it down. Well,
238
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.159
we worked, and I said, look, I'm leaving it open.
239
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.879
So several months later, I think his wife persuaded him
240
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.320
to do it, actually, you know, and you know, so
241
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.080
they said, okay, we'll do it, because I say we're
242
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.120
going to wait until you die, why not do it now?
243
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.840
And they did it. And it wasn't the money interesting now,
