1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:04.480
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.720
In there. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.519
Now this first story, please understand, I come in peace.

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:20.719
I came to be supportive. I was curious. Remember the

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.879
future of late night is doing late night shows on YouTube.

6
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.600
I was like, all right, I wonder how the premiere

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.719
episode of Goodnight with Ben Gleib did. I'm recording this

8
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.920
sentence at one thirteen pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, June third.

9
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.200
The premiere episode of Goodnight with Ben Gleib, a YouTube

10
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.320
channel with two point nine one million subscribers at this

11
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.280
time as I record this sentence, has twenty one thousand views.

12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.640
His guest was Kevin Smith. Separate from the twenty one

13
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.479
thousand views video posted five days ago, they have posted

14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.560
a video titled Kevin Smith's Best Advice Believe in Yourself First.

15
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.000
That clip, posted fourteen hours or as before I spoke

16
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.000
this sentence, has three hundred and eight views. Maybe a

17
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.200
lot of people were watching the live stream and I

18
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.879
don't have access to that data. Again, I come in peace,

19
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.400
but that's not going to cut it. Your headline from

20
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.599
the Daily Beast, ready buckle up, everybody. Netflix doubles down

21
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.400
on bigotry with Mega Comedians special. That's right, the Streamers

22
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.319
promoting Tony Hinchcliff's late Ast special by celebrating his jokes

23
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.120
about Blacks, Latinos, the Whites, the Indians, and Asians. The

24
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.680
Daily Beast rights Tony Hinchcliff is back to his usual

25
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.239
stick quote unquote making fun of different ethnic groups with

26
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.519
plenty of help from Netflix. They remindus. The Donald Trump

27
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.359
fan went mainstream following his appearance on the streamers Roast

28
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.359
of Tom Brady in twenty twenty four, after which he

29
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.159
gained fame for a different kind when he told racially

30
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.920
insensitive jokes at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally later that year.

31
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.760
Netflix rewarded the appearance with a major deal, offering the

32
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.159
comedian four specials last March three for his show Killed Tony,

33
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.519
and one for an hour of his own stand up.

34
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.680
On Tuesday, the streamer released the teaser for that stand

35
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.040
of special, titled Man of the People. Should we listen?

36
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.519
We probably should listen.

37
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:18.080
We've made fun of Blacks, Latinos, the Whites, the Indians, Asians.

38
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:18.560
Thank you.

39
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.639
I'd imagine if I were sitting where you are right

40
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.639
now and I bought a ticket to a Tony Hinchcliff show.

41
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:39.800
I'd probably thinking of myself, Tony, where are those juw jokes? Well,

42
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.280
I'm averaging about four specials a year with Netflix right now,

43
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.360
and I'm not in the mood to make jew jokes anymore.

44
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.639
Now. Right before the Netflix sounder, they are Tony winks

45
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.759
at the camera. So that's your trailer as a curiosity.

46
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.879
As a comparison, This trailer as I record this sentence

47
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.759
at one seventeen pm on Wednesday, was posted one day

48
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.639
ago and has twenty thousand views, just slightly less than

49
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.520
Ben Gleb's hour and a half a late night show.

50
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.719
And I support you, but that's not going to cut it.

51
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.960
Marcelo Hernandez, who does one thing really well, he is

52
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.840
going to host the SPS on July fifteenth. The twenty

53
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.560
twenty six SP's are returning to New York after more

54
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.520
than twenty five years, this year's event being held at

55
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.439
Lincoln Center. Marcelo Hernandez said, I started doing comedy ten

56
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.400
years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, and I would take the

57
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.919
train twelve hours to New York to sell comedy tickets

58
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.680
on the street in Greenwich Village in Exchange for stage time.

59
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.800
It's an honor and frankly feels crazy to be hosting

60
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.240
the SP's this year in New York. I agree, it

61
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.439
does feel crazy that Marcelo Hernandez is hosting the SPI's.

62
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.000
I agree with you, Marcelo. Marcello said, I'm sure the

63
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.360
energy is going to be great. It's been a slow

64
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.759
week for comedy, you can tell by Brooks making the

65
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.080
three spot on Today's podcast. He caught up with a

66
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.120
Little Village magazine. But part of this particularly interested me.

67
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.800
Brooks has been opening for Seth Myers and John Oliver

68
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.080
in their residency Anti Beacon Theater in New York City.

69
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.800
How's that going? Brooks said, they're the best. I looked

70
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.399
into the coolest gig, imaginable opening for two friends and

71
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.680
comedians that I really look up to. I also head

72
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.040
out on the road to open for each one of

73
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.079
them individually. So me and Seth have been road tripping

74
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.720
around America lately. When I was on SNL, he was

75
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.360
my boss, and now he's just super great friend. Turns

76
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.079
out he's a great boss to have it. It's ratt

77
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.920
just to be on the road with a pal. They

78
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.120
talked about the Chicago comedy scene back in the day.

79
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.720
There are other comics from Iowa back then, right kameil

80
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.600
and on. Johnny moved there after he went to Grenelle.

81
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.800
Brooks said, right after I got there, did an open

82
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.040
mic at a place called Kiddy Moon. Kmale went up

83
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.759
and I was like, what that scene was the best?

84
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.439
Kyle Kanaan had just left. Hannibal Burris was becoming the

85
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.079
funniest guy who's ever been alive. That's when I was

86
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.959
in the Chicago just doing the serious XM thing. But

87
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.800
there was a Chicago comedy festival and we used to

88
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.639
be out there relatively frequently, and that's when Hannibal was

89
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.759
owning the town. That's when I was out there, Brooks said.

90
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.279
There were so many guys who were perfect to look

91
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:05.839
up to you, Guys six years older than you. They

92
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.639
were doing late night sets, which was so much more

93
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.839
attainable than the full hour special. So when I saw them,

94
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.040
I thought, this is possible. Now. What caught my eye

95
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.439
they started talking about marathons. Humble Bragg. I've ran the

96
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.519
New York City Marathon twice, and I have ran three

97
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.879
days in a row. I'm trying to run every day

98
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.399
in June and so far. I ran on June one,

99
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.639
two and three. I talked to Brooks about marathons. He's

100
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.879
got an endorsement with A six shoes, but Brooks says,

101
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.399
I'm two and done with marathons. I ran wondering COVID

102
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.120
as a joke to prove that they weren't hard and

103
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.360
that people make too much out of them. Hey, I

104
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.480
ended up really hurting my knee because they are hard.

105
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.759
Oh that's better, Yeah, now you get it. A six

106
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.360
reached out to me about training appropriately running a marathon.

107
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.360
After twelve weeks of that and then writing about it,

108
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.480
I got really fast. It was awesome, and halfway through

109
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.680
the second marathon, I slammed a Mountain Dew to try

110
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.160
and parlay it into a Mountain Dew sponsorship by saying,

111
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.279
Mountain Dew's good for you. Look how fast I am,

112
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.920
and my body immediately stopped working right away. Everything just tightened, spasm.

113
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.720
I'd lay on the ground for like half an hour.

114
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.680
I ended up running that second marathon slower than the first.

115
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.360
Me too, but I put a decade between my two.

116
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.920
So they're curious, Brooks, why did you go with A

117
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.920
six sneakers instead of Brooks shoes, Brooks would have been

118
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.560
a natural fit. Brooks said, Hey, Asex reached out if

119
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.680
Brooks had called me first, Sure, I am wearing Brooks

120
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.800
sneakers right now. Those are the ones that I run

121
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.639
in these days, but I run the second one. I'm

122
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.319
actually wearing them my marathon sneakers right now. These are

123
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.959
my Rainbow Brooks shoes. They're worn out, so these are

124
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.680
now just my wear around the house of sneakers. Why

125
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.800
are they rainbow, John, because I like to make my

126
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.279
current training pair, like visually very different so that I

127
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.279
don't wear them as like everyday shoes. But John, he

128
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:45.959
just said, you're wearing them as every day shoes. Yes,

129
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.959
but I know the rainbow ones are worn out, so

130
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.519
every pair I get looks very different from the previous pair.

131
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.000
Michelle Obama said, Dave Chappelle is one of the smartest

132
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.399
people on the planet, the funniest all get out. Once

133
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.800
he became himself, he moved back to Ohio, bought a

134
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.000
fo and he's raised his family on this farm. One

135
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.480
of the questions was why here, and he said, I

136
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.839
wanted to have the financial freedom to be courageous. Mashable

137
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.079
asked Josh Johnson about his hoodies. He said the hoodie

138
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.759
started as a comfort thing, mostly vintage and thrifted fines

139
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.519
Hans are now giving him more customized ones, to inspired ones,

140
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.399
even cashmere versions. He jokes he's too scared to sweat

141
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.240
in the gray hoodie has become part of his persona.

142
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:24.879
He said. Even when people see me out in the street,

143
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:26.639
they're like, oh, you're really wear that. That's the good

144
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.399
and bad part of doing a thing. If you generally

145
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.279
like it, it just becomes how you look all the time.

146
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.000
Vittorio Angeloni told the CBC, John has said a slow

147
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.519
news day. No, Vittorio didn't say that. That's you asking

148
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.120
me that. Why why do you ask? Vittorio Angeloni told

149
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.959
the CBC. I don't want anyone to enjoy the entire show.

150
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.720
I have people come up to me after the show

151
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.639
and say, oh, I really like the show apart from

152
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:49.560
that one joke, and I think, yeah, you shouldn't like

153
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.839
all this. It should be the edges of your taste

154
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.040
and where you feel comfortable. I want to push the audience.

155
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.160
Ray Romano talked about naming his show Everybody Loves Raymond

156
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.600
Raids Old People. When the show was starting, I was

157
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.879
a comedian, and all I did was self deprecating humor.

158
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:04.839
My brother, who in real life is a New York

159
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.639
City policeman, came home one day and saw that I

160
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.879
got an award from some stand up comedy that I did,

161
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.399
and he said, sarcastically, Raymond goes to work and they

162
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.319
give him awards. I go to work and people spit

163
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.639
on me. Everybody loves Raymond. Ray didn't like the title,

164
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.720
even though the CBS execs did. Ray suggested some other titles,

165
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:25.079
including that Raymond Guy, Raymond's Tree awful, and his personal

166
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.959
favorite was called Um Raymond. Jeff fox Worthy, who dropped

167
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.519
a special on Fox Nation on Monday, said this may

168
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.879
be his final special. He says he's not done with

169
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.200
stand up, but creating a special it takes a lot

170
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.720
of effort. Jeff said, I'm not saying I would quit

171
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.159
doing stand up. It's just a lot of work to

172
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.559
do a special and I'd rather hang out with my grandkids.

173
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.759
When you commit to doing a special, it's a year.

174
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.639
It takes a year of going in comedy clubs Wednesday night's,

175
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.840
Tuesday nights, you know, trying new things. Is this funny?

176
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.240
Is it not funny? And nobody's ever showed that. That

177
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.000
is part of the special The Jokes on Me, where

178
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.399
he shows some behind the scenes looks at the repetitive

179
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.600
creative process of putting a special together. Did his first

180
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.000
stand up special in nineteen ninety with a you might

181
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.320
be a redneck joke, and for this one he figured,

182
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.440
let me dust it off. I thought, well, this might

183
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.519
be the last special idea because it's a lot of work.

184
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.480
And I'm like, if I close the first one that way,

185
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.240
why not sig a bowl around it and close the

186
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:18.960
last one that way. Boy, this Nate Brighetzi movie didn't do. Uh,

187
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:20.799
I don't think it did for Nate what he thought

188
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:22.320
was gonna do. Let's look at the box office. I

189
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.360
forgot to do that earlier in the week Nate Brigetzi

190
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:29.519
Breadwinner box office. All right, we are on boxoffice report

191
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.120
dot com. It is the weekend box office report for

192
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.720
May twenty nine through the thirty first. Oh my domestic

193
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.759
weekend studio estimates for May twenty nine two May thirty first.

194
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.240
Of course, I don't think Nate is a big international draw,

195
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.720
so we'll just look at the domestic number one back

196
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.200
rooms eighty one million, A number two Obsession twenty six

197
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.000
point four. The Mandalorian got another twenty five million in

198
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.120
fourth place, Michael with eleven million, and the Breadwinner seven

199
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.960
point five million dollars. With that kind of box off,

200
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.039
you're going to be the guest host for Ben Gleeb

201
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:06.960
on YouTube eight. Don't do the theme park? Are you

202
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:12.279
listening to me? Theme park? Big mistake? Comedy tour? Not mistake?

203
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:18.519
Theme park mistake? Nate, you gotta listen. In Indian comedian

204
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.720
revealed he was detained in Dubai for forty seven days

205
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:25.519
before being deported to India, and an Instagram post yoursh

206
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.600
Barjoaj said he had shared a quote harmless dumb reel.

207
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.159
Bardoise revealed the reel was about how Google Maps allegedly

208
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.759
malfunctioned in Dubai amid tensions link to the conflict in

209
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.720
the Middle East. He explains, on March nineteenth, while I

210
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.519
was at a gig in Dubai, I got a call

211
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.200
from Dubai Police asking me to report to the Dubai

212
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.320
Police HQ. Immediately turns out they had an issue with

213
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.399
a comedy reel I made about Google Maps malfunctioning in

214
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.600
Dubai and do the current war in the region. It

215
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.720
was a harmless, dumb reel, but the authorities didn't find

216
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.080
it funny. I was detained and arrested as a perceived

217
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.679
national security threat, and I spent forty seven days in

218
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.639
