1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.880
Calaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Man with your daily

2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.720
comedy news. If you missed yesterday's podcast, it was a

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.120
pretty good one. It was not Sunday filler. I had

4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.199
some good meat in there yesterday and including story about

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.399
Shinge Gillis hitting up the Masters. If you listened yesterday,

6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.239
you heard me kind of lose my voice a third

7
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.960
of the way through the podcast. I don't know what's

8
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.600
going on. I feel fine, but I am recording Sunday

9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.439
and Monday back to back. So what I'm doing here

10
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.600
is I'm dialing it down a little. It reminds me

11
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.960
of when I run. You know, sometimes you get a

12
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:38.799
little tight and you have to slow up a little.

13
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.920
So I'm going to keep my energy a little more,

14
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.240
even more even keeled than usual. Nate Berghatzy is stebbing

15
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.560
up in class. He has been touted touted. Why did

16
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.520
I say touted? I could take that out. Nobody actually

17
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.399
says that, right, He's been touted. CBS has chosen, CBS

18
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.640
has hired. CBS has picked Nate Bergetzy to host the

19
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.399
seventy seventh ME Awards, held at the Peacock Theater in

20
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.799
Los Angeles on September fourteenth, Peacock Theater, CBS, That's going

21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.920
to be awkward. Television Academy chair Chris Abrago sent a statement,

22
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.959
Nate with one of the hottest comics in the business,

23
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.439
with a remarkable and hilarious brand of comedy that deeply

24
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.159
resonates with multi generational audiences around the globe. We are

25
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:19.959
thrilled to be able to leverage his one of a

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.560
kind perspective to entertain TV fans watching this year's Emmy telecast.

27
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.040
In a statement, Nate said, it's a huge honour to

28
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.920
be asked to host such an iconic awards show, and

29
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:30.840
I'm beyond excited to work with CBS to create a

30
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.040
night that can be enjoyed by families around the world.

31
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.120
The nominations will be announced on Tuesday, July fifteenth. The

32
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.920
National Comedy Center announced who's coming to the Comedy Festival

33
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.319
this year in August. I got to get up there.

34
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.280
I've been talking about it for a few years, and

35
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.799
I need an excuse for a long drive, and that's

36
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.239
a pretty part of the country. I think I might

37
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.040
go up this year. John Stewart, Bill Murray, Mikey Day,

38
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.599
Streeter Sidell, and Moore set to appear at the National

39
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.439
Comedy Center's Comedy Festival August seventh through the tenth, an

40
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.400
evening with John Stewart's Saturday August ninth on Sunday, a

41
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.719
stand up showcase to be followed by a rock and

42
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.120
blues concert featuring Bill Murray and his Blood Brothers. It's

43
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.599
an evening of comedy and music, a live blues and

44
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.400
classic rock performance along with stand up by some of

45
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.680
today's top talent from around the country. Former guest on

46
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.360
this podcast, Journey Gunderson said, John Stewart is one of

47
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.479
the most influential comedic voices of our time. That is true,

48
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.560
providing his signature a social commentary at a pace responsive

49
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.639
to the news cycle, while deeply thoughtful about our shared humanity.

50
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.360
All that is true. That is a good quote. John

51
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.439
Stewart said. I've said comedy is an iterative business and

52
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.000
a grind, and the best amongst us just keep at it.

53
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.280
I'm glad there's a museum, a national archive that drives

54
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.240
on or that, and I look forward to seeing how

55
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.159
the National Comedy Center tells the story of this great

56
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.479
art form that survives every moment. Also, the festival mighty day,

57
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.080
SNL head writer Streeter Sidell, they will join the National

58
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.159
Comedy Center for an on stage dialogue curated for Comedy's

59
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.240
National Archive, offering an inside look at their groundbreaking show

60
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.240
of the First Honors SNL's fiftieth. Their visit also commemorates

61
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.479
the Washington's dream Sketch Q cards being added to the museum.

62
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.879
That's fun. We found out a little bit more about

63
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.479
that Office spin off. Oscar Nuniez has confirmed that he

64
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.000
will reprise his role as Oscar Martinez on Office spin off.

65
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.439
This is called The Paper I Believe, which will follow

66
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.759
the same documentary crew that captured dunder Mifflin's antics as

67
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.120
they turned their focus to a Midwestern newspaper. Ricky Gervasa's

68
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:30.000
wallet probably says thank you. Nunia says, they're still editing

69
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.280
and stuff. It's very, very exciting. Oscar was talking with

70
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.000
Angela Kinsey, who asked him, isn't the understanding that you're

71
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.280
following the documentary crew to a new location and you

72
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.800
happen to be there. Oscar Nuniaz said, that's right. More

73
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.680
will be revealed, as my wife likes to say. Kinsey

74
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.719
said she visited this set of the new show, and

75
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.240
alongside Jenna Fisher, who you know as Pam. Jenna and

76
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.319
I stopped by the set. Greg Daniels, the creator had

77
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.199
invited us, and we showed up and not only was

78
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.000
Oscar there, but our crew somebody in these wonderful peop

79
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.759
Because the crew was our extended family. We're still really

80
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.639
close with them. That was really moving to see. Steve

81
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.759
Carell was asked about this show last year by The

82
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.159
Holloway Reporter. He said, we'll be watching, but I will

83
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.680
not be showing up. It's just a new thing and

84
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.039
there's really no reason for my character to show up

85
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.399
in something like that. But I'm excited about it. Sounds

86
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.879
like a great conceit. I love the idea. I guess

87
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.759
it's set in a newspaper company. And I've worked with

88
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.480
Domal Gleeson, who's the star of this one. I did

89
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.319
The Patient with him and he's an excellent actor and

90
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.399
a super nice guy. So I think it'll be great.

91
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.399
Good quote from Steve Carell. There handled that properly. Season

92
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.720
seventeen of its Always Sunny in Philadelphia will be on

93
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.600
FXX July ninth and on Hulu the next day. The

94
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.240
premiere will be the second half of the crossover with

95
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.560
Abbott Elementary, there's a clip teasing the new season. We

96
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.120
see the Gang volunteering at the elementary school, stealing kids

97
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.439
brownies and auditioning them for a potential boy band. This

98
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.120
is season seventeen, but it celebrates the show's twentieth anniversary.

99
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.800
We're told season seventeen is dubbed The Gang Embraces the

100
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.000
Arp and tells the story of how greed and the

101
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.759
New American Dream have consumed Patty's Pub. They'll exploit cross

102
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.480
network promotion to increase market share. They'll scape goat one

103
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.800
of their own to avoid a pr backlash. They'll risk

104
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.800
everything for a handshake with the Saudi's. They'll bend the

105
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.079
laws with side housles to pad their pockets, and they'll

106
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.879
change everything about themselves to appeal to a broader audience.

107
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.759
According to the log line, and sure, like any corporate goon,

108
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.399
the Gang craves money and parasitic social privileges. That's been

109
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.399
playing since two thousand and five, But they're also human

110
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:31.240
beings that crave love, respect, conditional freedom, constant adulation, histrionic

111
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:36.399
amounts of attention, NonStop gratification, and unfiltered slap happy eroticism.

112
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.439
There's a pres lease for you. I had to pause

113
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.519
there and take a sip of my large iced coffee

114
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.639
with pistachio. I don't know what is going on with

115
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.560
my voice. Maybe it's the pollen is coming out. I

116
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.279
feel fine. Tim Dillon was on News Nation the subject

117
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.240
Robert F. Kennedy. Now this interview took place before mister

118
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.160
Kennedy's comments on autism. We're not going to get into that.

119
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.480
Yllan had said he was all for Kennedy's attempts to

120
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.959
get Americans to eat healthier. News Nation rights. In fact,

121
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.279
he'd love to see Kennedy close fast food restaurants with

122
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.759
armed soldiers. Tim said, I think it should go in

123
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.079
too fast food restaurants with the military and shut them down.

124
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.600
I think it should take people off the line at

125
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.959
Chick fil at gunpoint. If we're going to go to

126
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.120
Taco Bell, but I knew that Rfka'd be there with

127
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.480
the military, I might think twice about it. Dylan also

128
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.680
talked about the Kevin Spacey thing. In case you missed it,

129
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.920
Kevin Spacey reprised his role as Frank Underwood to promote

130
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.120
Dylan's comedy special. Dylan says people are just tired of

131
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.000
banishing people. People are imperfect, they're flawed, they make mistakes,

132
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.839
and he hopes that the pendulum has swung away from

133
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.079
cancel culture. Tom Green told Vulture the number one thing

134
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.560
people say to me when they find out that I'm

135
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.240
Canadian is sorry about what's going on right now. This

136
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.040
isn't our choice. Green said, I don't do a lot

137
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.800
of political comedy, but I do have a joke I

138
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.360
tell because the situation when right now I live in Canada,

139
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.240
the fifty first state, the only state in the Union

140
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.600
where nobody in it wants to be American except for

141
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.040
Jordan Peterson, Wing Gretzky and the guy from Shirt Tank.

142
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.079
Got it confuse laugh. Half the audience actually understands the

143
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:03.480
full depth of the joke, and the other half is

144
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.959
realizing for the first time that not everybody from every

145
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.720
other country in the world dreams to being an American

146
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.680
after being told you the greatest country in the world

147
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.079
your entire life. Well, it's a completely shocking statement. I

148
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.040
haven't told the joke in Kennedy yet, but I guarantee

149
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.519
you when I tell it, people will be laughing. For

150
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.959
different reason. Canadians have always been a little more understated.

151
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.560
American comedy is much more aggressive and on the nose.

152
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.120
But our comedy is a silliness that's just woven naturally

153
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.120
into it, because there's something of an insecurity, there, a

154
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.800
humbleness that is masked in absurdity. We never say we're

155
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.600
the greatest country in the world. We're not screaming it

156
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.079
from the rafters because it's impolite. All right, my voice

157
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.399
is giving out. I'm going to bounce two stories to

158
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.959
tomorrow and take the break, but I will tell you here.

159
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.439
The short version is otsco at Costka has got a

160
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.120
special on Hulu and Tina Fey dodge some questions about

161
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.040
Lord Michael's job, but we'll talk about that tomorrow. All right,

162
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:51.360
Let's see if I can make to the end here,

163
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.120
so you get your money's worth. The show's free, you know.

164
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.399
On Gossip Corner. Craig Ferguson bought a new place two

165
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.439
bedrooms in the East eighties, a block from the Tripolitan

166
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.519
Museum of Arn't in New York City. Ferguson and wife

167
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.560
Megan have sold their castle in Scotland and picked up

168
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.920
a classic co op for one point seventy nine million dollars. Now,

169
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.600
I've never lived in a castle in Scotland, and I

170
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.000
don't know a condo in Manhattan. Even if you're overlooking

171
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.839
Central Park, I don't know. I think you traded down there.

172
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.079
Craig Craig said, we're very happy to be back in

173
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.720
New York. And there's a new box set with the

174
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.639
Richard Pryor albums. This is getting a lot of pickup.

175
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.079
The pr people did a good job here. I'm a

176
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:33.720
little confused because there have been at least two boxet

177
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.039
said the Richard Pryor comedy albums. There's definitely one, And

178
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.320
I remember because when I started at Sirius, my boss

179
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.759
asked me how come we didn't play Richard Pryor And

180
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.919
the answer was the records at that time sounded like

181
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.840
crap and when he played them on an actual radio,

182
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.720
you couldn't really understand what Richard was saying. And then

183
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.519
they remastered them. There was this red box set. I

184
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.080
remember the box set. So I don't know why we're

185
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.120
making a big deal out of this. Maybe because it's

186
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.120
been twenty years, John, I guess anyway. The new box

187
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.080
set is called I Hope I'm funny. The Warner Albums

188
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.960
nineteen seventy four to nineteen eighty three, out now via Rhino.

189
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:10.519
The seven LP set features several albums. Now, I have

190
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.960
a challenge. I'll be honest here telling you in the story,

191
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.840
mister Pryor titled his albums in a way that totally

192
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.919
appropriated for mister Pryor to title his albums, but inappropriate

193
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.159
for Johnny Mack to tell you the names of these

194
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.960
albums here in twenty twenty five. So I'm gonna sub

195
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.399
in the word Fella. One of the albums, That Fella's Crazy,

196
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.159
was recently placed on Rolling Stone's list of the seventy

197
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.399
four best albums of nineteen seventy four. It was recorded

198
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.879
at Don Cornelius's Soul Trained nightclub in San Francisco. Chris

199
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.039
Rock had once told Rolling Stone whenever they have a

200
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.120
list of the one hundred greatest albums, Richard is never there.

201
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:45.840
He's not a musician, but Richard is one of the

202
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.720
greatest recording artists ever. I'll take that Fella's Crazy over.

203
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.639
Frampton comes alive any day. Also in the set, Is

204
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.080
It Something I Said nineteen seventy six is a bi

205
00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:00.000
centennial Fella nineteen seventy eight the double album Wanted Slash

206
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.000
Richard Pryor Live in Concerts Live on the Sunset Strip, which,

207
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.240
by the way, take a look at Live on the

208
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.600
Sunset Strip and Richard Pryor's outfit and realize even more

209
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.000
than ever Eddie Murphy is a cover band. Not just

210
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.360
his cadences or the vocal impressions. He does the outfit

211
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.039
and I love Eddie Murphy. I'm fifty five years old.

212
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.080
Do the math we loved, delirious and raw. But it's

213
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.399
a cover act. Richard Pryor got there first and wore

214
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.919
the same red outfit. We're close enough. Opening today the

215
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.519
Sydney Comedy Festival, I know you got a month of

216
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.759

I Like this too. The Sydney Comedy Festival Comedy Crawl

attendees can explore the y C Cana I've been down there.

223
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.679
I'm trying to remember what that's stand for. I guess

224
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.000
it doesn't matter. The yck's precinct bars in the CBD

225

jobs and tourism. John Graham said from Humble origins twenty

236
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.720
years ago, the Sydney Comedy Festival has become a big

237
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.080
highlight in our cities calendar, which is why we're now

238
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.879
backing it with event funding from Destination NSW New South Wales.

239
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.840
Our government has been working hard to rebuild our nightlife

240
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.200
after a decade of lockouts and lockdowns, which unfortunately were

241
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.759
no joke. I see what we had did their Minister Graham, Hey,

242
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.159
minister Graham, why don't you fly down like a world

243
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.240
renowned podcaster. Hope you promote this thing. You know, if

244
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.000
you've got funds, you should use them. All right, my

245
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.759
voice is gone. Tomorrow show will be good. I can

246
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.759
tell you that because it's already half written. Plus the

247
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.679
five stories I didn't do today. I try see tomorrow
