Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily
2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.560
comedy news. The Only Times had an interesting piece about
3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.719
some comedians who sold out Madison Square Garden what they
4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.480
thought about it. I won't do all of them, but
5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.399
some names you might know include mega comedian Napurghetz. He said,
6
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:25.920
I believed I could make a career out of stand
7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.719
up comedy when I was in my twenties, Even when
8
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:29.359
it sounded like a crazy thing to do, I was
9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.760
just hoping somebody would come to the show. He spent
10
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.079
so many years doing clubs, it's hard to picture anything
11
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.240
bigger than that until it happens. Selling out MSG, let alone,
12
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.320
selling it out three times wasn't something I ever expected,
13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:41.880
but it was a result of believing in stand up
14
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.399
and believing people still want to get out of the
15
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.960
house and laugh together. He did three sellouts September twenty
16
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.039
sixth and two September twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. Dean
17
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.240
Cook sawd the place out three times when it was
18
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.880
less common. Two shows on November twelfth, two thousand and six.
19
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.320
One on November ninth, two thousand and nine. Dean said,
20
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.399
when I take of history and legendary artists selling out.
21
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.319
It's the greatest honor in my career to get to
22
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.120
that experience, even once, It's an achievement that forever changes
23
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.840
how your career is viewed. Jim Gaffigan sold out December twelfth,
24
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.640
twenty fifteen. He said, I never thought selling out MSG
25
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:15.640
was a possibility when I started stand up. It was
26
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.400
an unrealistic goal for any comedian. Having lived in New
27
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.840
York City for three decades, MSG has exceeded its legendary status.
28
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.400
For me. MSG's where I brought my kids to see
29
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.000
the Nixon Rangers plays, where I saw Bruce Springsteen pulling
30
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.959
off a sellout. Seemed like a gamble, but worth it.
31
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.799
Matt Rife has sold the place out twice, July eighteenth
32
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.280
and nineteenth. He says MSG is top of the mountain
33
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.319
and symbolizes the pinnacle of ticket selling success as a comedian.
34
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.159
Boy boy boy, that is just the wrong answer, like
35
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.319
everybody else is like talking about the building and how
36
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.239
amazing it is, And Matt Riif's first thought is I
37
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:47.959
sold a lot of tickets. If you could sell out
38
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.239
the world's most famous arena and the toughest city in America,
39
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.840
you've made it to not only sell it out twice,
40
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.719
but to be the youngest comedian ever sell it out.
41
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.159
It's still hard to comprehend. I'm not sure that was
42
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.480
a great quote there, Matt Rife and Andrew Schultz to
43
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.879
the York Time, I've said, maybe what did they say? Again,
44
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.519
I always forget the phrasing on it. Maybe America's foremost
45
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.000
political journalist, something like that. I forget with exactly what
46
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.919
they said. Andrews sold out the Garden twice May third,
47
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.680
and fourth, and twenty twenty four. Andrews said, I'm born
48
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.000
and raised in NYC. My dad had so much respect
49
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.919
for MSG. You would make me wear a collared shirt
50
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.360
whenever we stepped in that building. The place had holy
51
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.199
significance to me. Before I knew I wanted to be
52
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.240
a comic. Once I decided to make comedy in my life,
53
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.159
I had one goal was to sell out MSG wearing
54
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.560
a collared shirt. Of course, Josh John said explained his
55
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.280
comedy band camp. He said, the whole reason behind is
56
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.360
when I was a kid, we'd have money for a
57
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.599
fancy sleep away camp. But everything I'm doing in this
58
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.719
show is what I've had in my imagination, is what
59
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.520
it would be like since I was a kid. So
60
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.599
this's a personality test that people can take when they
61
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.240
show up to the show that tells them what troop
62
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.599
they're in. That's a good way to meet people. You
63
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.199
can meet other people in your troop that you already
64
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:50.479
know you have a lot in common with because you
65
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.439
answered some of the same answers. So I'm here on
66
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.400
comedy bandcamptroops dot com and I'm going to take the quiz.
67
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.919
There are fifteen questions We're going to easily fill the
68
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.639
summer Sunday here. Thank you Josh Johnson. All right, what's
69
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.159
your favorite camp activity? Swimming, sing alongs, hiking, stargazing, campfire stories.
70
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.520
I'll say swimming. Question number two, what's your favorite camp snack? S'mores?
71
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.879
Ants on a log? What's that? Apparently it's celery sticks
72
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.240
top with peanut butter and raisins, peanut butter and jelly skewers,
73
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.360
puppy chow, which is a sweet snack mix covered in chocolate,
74
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.719
peanut butter and powdered sugar or popcorn. I will say s'mores.
75
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:32.840
Question number three, what insect is the coolest? Yellow jackets, crickets, bees, butterflies.
76
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.960
I love butterflies. Four. Who would be the worst partner
77
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.639
in a three legged race? Obviously the answer is more cellars.
78
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.719
But the choices are a mummy, a zombie, a ghost,
79
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.719
or your most annoying coworker. Let's say I think about that.
80
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.120
I don't have any annoying coworkers at the moment. Ghost
81
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.479
would be great because they don't touch the ground, so
82
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.479
I could just run. A zombie would try to eat me,
83
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.199
and a mummy is just dead weight. So the question
84
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.599
is who would be the worst partner? Obviously is zombie.
85
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.800
Question number five, On a hike, you pick up a
86
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.960
magic kazoo that makes your voice sound like an instrument.
87
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.280
Does it make your voice sound like an instrument that's
88
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.319
giving out? Because you recorded four podcasts already today? What
89
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.439
do you sound like? A trumpet? Drums, a sacks of violin? Wait?
90
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.839
What is this again? The kazoo makes my voice sound
91
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.439
like an instrument? I guess a sax. I don't know.
92
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.160
I didn't like that question. Question number six, aid camp,
93
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.199
you're granted the power to talk to animals? Who do
94
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:31.839
you gossip with? A first? Five choices? Fox, bear, squirrel, deer, rabbit? Alright,
95
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.639
I'm gossiping with one of them. HM, who's the most interesting? Probably? Uh.
96
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.279
I kind of want to say bear, but I feel
97
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.839
like a squirrel sees a lot going on. Seven. You're
98
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.279
looking up at the stars. What consolation jumps out at you?
99
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.560
The Little Dipper, Ryan, Hercules, Perseus, none of them? You
100
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.160
make your own. I make my own. Other campers would
101
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.920
say you're most likely to A go rogue, B start
102
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.800
the conversation, CE, bring snacks, D go with the flow,
103
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.399
E start a chant. Hmm. I should ask you, guys,
104
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:00.959
what you would think. Well, you might think I would
105
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.160
start the conversation because I'm hosting of the show. I'd
106
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.839
probably go with the flow until people annoyed me. Question
107
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.160
number nine, what do you most look forward to at camp?
108
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.759
A Making new friends, B learning a new skill see
109
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.600
petting the animals, D trying new desserts. I like meeting
110
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.319
new people. A. Question number ten what would you stash
111
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.720
in the camp time capsule? This is all to go
112
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.360
to Josh Johnson comedy show. By the way, A Poison
113
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.560
IVY be your favorite book? See the craft you made
114
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.759
the summer d gum in case the future doesn't have
115
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.959
any I kind of want to pay it forward with
116
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.160
my favorite book, but then I wouldn't have my favorite
117
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.920
book anymore. So, and the craft I made I would
118
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.240
want to keep, but I don't want to punish people
119
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.319
with poison. Ivy gum, I guess I love that one.
120
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.160
Question number eleven, how would you handle a camp emergency?
121
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.879
A freak out? B find a camp counselor C, spring
122
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.759
into action, D take a nap. I'm a springing to
123
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.879
action kind of guy. Thirteen What is your dream for
124
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.399
the last day of camp? A you find a secret
125
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.120
key to room no one knows about. B you discover
126
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.079
a message in a bottle from a camper in the past.
127
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.279
I'm already picking that one. See not being coount out
128
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.680
of the bus and getting it extra night alone with
129
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.079
your friends and the camp all yourselves. D You sneak
130
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.560
into the kitchen after the last meal and need all
131
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:16.199
the leftover cookies. B message in a bottle. Question number thirteen,
132
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.319
We're almost done. Guys. You're on a hike and come
133
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.759
across an old vinyl album. What music is it? A? Blues,
134
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.199
B hip hop, C, salsa, D country E rock. Now
135
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.279
you're asking me. You're not asking me what I like.
136
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.120
You're asking me what we randomly found on the hike.
137
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.839
It's gonna be rock as there were some teenagers from
138
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.199
nineteen seventy four who got drunk in the woods and
139
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.879
left their vinyl out there, probably Fleetwood Mac album Question
140
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.279
number fourteen, what would make the best instrument AA hollowed
141
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.720
out long be a seashell, CEE a pine cone, D
142
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.399
A rattlesnake obviously a seashell? And our final question, what
143
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.519
is your favorite survival tip? A, keep calm and carry, bear, spray,
144
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.279
B stop, drop and roll down hills. See everything is
145
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.000
better with more smores. D. Don't pet the skunks. I'm
146
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.000
picking the s'mores And now we'll find out what true
147
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.759
I'm in. I'm in the Fusha flames and we have
148
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.279
a cool uh, we have a cool logo. It's the
149
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.879
color is fusia and it has a flame. Well, you're toll.
150
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.959
It takes a lot to start your fire, but once
151
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.319
you're on, you burn bright. No one can stop you.
152
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.399
There's no shade from the shine you bring. Oh that's funny.
153
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:18.800
I bring a lot of shade. If you listen to
154
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.439
the podcast that it's important to remind yourself you have
155
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.079
what it takes the light the way. You may feel
156
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.639
like your contributions go unnoticed, but just a spark of
157
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.680
your creativity changes everything. Thirty two percent of campers have
158
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.639
landed in the Fusha Flames. We're the biggest group. The
159
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.480
Ivy Leaves have fifteen and to Go Flow eight point seven.
160
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.879
The Feisty Fox is six point six, the Yellow Jackets
161
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.000
twenty three percent, the Red Rogues four point eight percent,
162
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.600
and the Sapphire Blues nine point five. And then I
163
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.879
guess I go to a Josh Johnson concert. I don't know, Josh,
164
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.680
what troop are you in? He said, I don't have
165
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.439
a troop because I'm putting on the show and I
166
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.160
don't want people to be like this is the troop
167
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:56.879
to be in or something. I really want everyone to
168
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.279
have their own experience and have fun with it. Josh
169
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.439
was asked if there's a difference between just going up
170
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.000
there on stage doing stand up versus sitting in the
171
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.000
writer's room and going on camera for the Daily Show.
172
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.439
Josh said, I don't have a preferred process. I suppose,
173
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.639
but they're different. So I'm at the Daily Show is
174
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.040
incredibly collaborative. I'm super thankful that I have the sport
175
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:14.720
of so many people. When you're doing stand up, you're
176
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.759
just on your own, So you're just writing for yourself
177
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.920
and you're just doing your own thing. Obviously, I love
178
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.040
doing stan up, but I like learning the new aspects
179
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.399
of everything that goes into making a show. The show
180
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.279
gets decided on that day after being sort of genuinely
181
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.319
assessed for how people feel about the stories and what's
182
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.120
going on. Obviously there's times when there's more of a
183
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.200
wait and see approach to the day. Then there are
184
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:33.960
some things that get covered a day later are covered
185
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:35.960
in tannem with something else. What the show's really good
186
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.799
at doing is finding the urgency and whatever it is
187
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.440
we want to talk about, And I think that would
188
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.200
stand up. It's a little bit easier to just sort
189
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.000
of do what you feel, all right, Non fans of
190
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.360
Kill Tony, how about a show called Anybody But Tony?
191
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.000
This from kut dot org. We are told people sit
192
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.879
on the back patio of Barrett's Two Too, drinking coffee
193
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.039
and Margarita's, playing board games and folding anti ice packets
194
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.279
for local businesses. Near the Commuit stage, two men set
195
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.679
up for their stand up comedy show Anybody But Tony?
196
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.240
Four comedians have eight to ten minutes each to deliver
197
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:12.440
their material, followed by a drag finale. Co host Everett
198
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:13.960
and Eric as they had the great of the show
199
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.919
to preserve a comedy scene that has been saturated with uncensored,
200
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.240
anti woke comics. Everett said, when we talked about what
201
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.519
we wanted the show to be, there were a lot
202
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.559
of things. But what did we not want the show
203
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.879
to be. We didn't want it to be Tony Inchcliff.
204
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.679
We don't want him. We don't want the people to
205
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.600
think he's funny. We let on Anybody but Tony. Andrew
206
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.639
did the Anybody but Tony Show, but he was also
207
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.240
on Kill Tony six years ago. He said he was
208
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.559
surprised when the comedians were treated like cattle in the
209
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.679
waiting room to get only a sixty second set. Why
210
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.679
were you surprised, dude, that's clearly what the show is.
211
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.759
What are you talking about? Andrew said. After each performance,
212
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:52.080
the comics were brutally roasted on their material and physical appearance. Dude,
213
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.159
did you not know what you're like? Oh man, I
214
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:56.879
can't believe I want to kill Tony and they only
215
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.799
gave me sixty seconds and then they made fun of me.
216
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.679
What what do you talk talking about? Then this article
217
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.360
gets into the Austin scene. Seems like not everyone likes
218
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.519
mister Rogan. Dave Buckman is the executive producer of the
219
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.919
Cold Fown Theater. We are told it is one of
220
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.519
the city's primary alternative comedy views. Mister Buckman said, the
221
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.440
Rogan sphere was the first to come back to the
222
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.279
live performance pandemic because those are the kind of people
223
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.080
that did not want to wear masks or take any
224
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.120
kind of caution. They were making the most noise first,
225
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.440
so they got the most attention first out of the pandemic.
226
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.679
That and Joe Rogan has the number one podcast and
227
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.720
move from Los Angeles to Austin and then had a
228
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.000
lot of big name comedians on. Let's not gloss over
229
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.200
that this article is insane. Buckman said, I'm not worried
230
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.440
when I hear people say, oh, kill Tony. Is Austin's
231
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.039
comedy scene. Huh, Yeah, Austin has this comedy scene. We
232
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.799
built that we walk so that you could run. Olfira
233
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.279
Eisenberg wrote a memoir called Screw Everyone Sleeping My Way
234
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.159
to Monogaby. That memoir is the one that convinced Caitlin
235
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.919
Palufo that she could do stand up. She said, every
236
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:55.840
other line in the book is a joke. This is
237
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.799
a stand ups book. It made me want to try
238
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.399
stand up and believe I could do it because she
239
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.440
was doing it. She made me feel less shameful about
240
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.559
my own sexual past. It's like, oh, that can be
241
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.159
used as jokes. It's not something you have to keep
242
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.240
hidden and buried. Usually you're like, yeah, maybe I'll switch
243
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.039
it to this because it's funnier. But no, he says,
