Calarocus Shock Media. According to retailers, the most popular Halloween mass this year

2
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:21.000
is OJ Simpson and the most popular
Halloween greeting is I'll kill you and that

3
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:32.840
guy who's bringing over your glasses or
treat and the Pope came out of the

4
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.000
book this week, which contains a
series of essays examining faith and morality in

5
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.039
today's secular world and the changing role
of the Catholic Church as it approaches the

6
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.679
twenty first century. The book is
entitled God Himself told Me that OJ is

7
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:55.159
guilty. In other book news,
Prince Charles released an autobiography in which he

8
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.799
states that he never loved Princess Die
and that his father pressured him to marry

9
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:00.600
her. The book is entitled well, of course OJ did it? I

10
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:07.040
mean come on. Comedian Robert Burrell
tweeted OJ Simpson's family announced he died of

11
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.159
cancer. Cancer, on the other
hand, has begun looking for the real

12
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.079
killer. Norma to like that joke. Samurell wrote the movie Defending Your Life,

13
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.760
but with ojy. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News

14
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.519
Decider did a long interview with Neil
Brennan, Sean McCarthey, is your interviewer.

15
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.680
He hosts a podcast called The Comics
Comic No Sean A little bit back

16
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.319
from my serious days, Shawn asked, Neil, you mentioned Joe Rogan in

17
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.120
your special, but then also Dave
Chappelle. These people have massive platforms and

18
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.480
audiences who were listening and looking to
them, who were saying, we're just

19
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.920
comedians, but somehow also weighing in
on and leading the conversations and weighty issues.

20
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.799
Neil said, But they were always
weighing in on them. They were

21
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.640
never not weighing in on them.
It just didn't make a difference before it.

22
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:49.799
They were always like, ah,
that's a comedian. At a certain

23
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.000
point, I believe in the early
two thousands when John Stewart and Chris Rock

24
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.959
and I would even throw Michael Moore
in there and they got bumped up a

25
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.879
notch and John Stewart would tell you
so much his final daily show before you

26
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.040
retired, he said, it didn't
help. Fox is more powerful than when

27
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.400
I started. It's like it's Dave
helping or hurting trans people one percent one

28
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.520
direction or the other. Statistically,
I'm gonna bet not. I can't prove

29
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.599
it, but they can't prove that
he is, you know what I mean.

30
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.800
But it's a good position to be
like victimized by this comedian. But

31
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.159
it's like, yo, the whole
thing was supposed to be about being funny,

32
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.560
and then it became leadership. And
the analogy I've been making is people

33
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.719
complaining that snickers bars aren't very nutritious. No kidding, it's a snickers bar.

34
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.000
If you're looking for leadership about any
issue, why are people going,

35
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.639
well, what do the clowns think? It's insane? Rogan and other comedians

36
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.240
on their podcast will defend themselves by
saying we're just comedians. Sean asked,

37
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.479
how much do you think social media
podcasting has blurned the lines for audiences in

38
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.639
terms of thinking of comedians as purely
as entertainers versus thinking of them as influencers.

39
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.000
That's a great question, Neil said. And then everybody asks this comedy

40
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.240
under attack, and it's like,
no, it's not under attack. It's

41
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.680
more like it's all these questions of
credibility, Like comedians are news anchors now,

42
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.960
and that's not because comedians are pretending
to be news anchors. That's because

43
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.479
news anchors are topless on New Year's
Eve, or news anchors or you know,

44
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.199
David Mrror is like a model.
It's like he looks like a fashion

45
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.400
model. That doesn't mean he's not
a good broadcaster, but I'm just saying

46
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.240
the incentives of the structure, everything's
perverted. And then people are turning into

47
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:12.080
comedians, and then the news is
trying to blame comedians for it. So

48
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.639
the NIH's total mangling of the COVID
vaccine and mask roll out as Joe Rogan's

49
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.960
fault, and then you go,
well, Joe needs to be No,

50
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.000
he doesn't. The minute Joe becomes
a news thing, he's not. It's

51
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.840
no fun. The whole thing is
I'm just some guy. And here's what

52
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.000
I think. And so many people
liked him and appreciate the stuff he said

53
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.560
that. It just had a huge
following thought this was interesting too. Neil

54
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.479
said, is Allen Degenerous nice?
What did she give millions of dollars away

55
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.919
to charity? Then yes she's nice? Is she hilarious? Then yes she's

56
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.719
nice. From the Daily Mail,
a story about Tracy Morgan. There are

57
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.520
a lot of N words in this
one. I'm going to substitute in the

58
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.759
word fella so I can roll through
the story without having to stop and awkwardly

59
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.240
say N word fifty times. This
from the Daily Mail. The headline Tracy

60
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.919
Morgan's former co star Bobby J.
Thompson accuses comedian of bullying him on set

61
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.719
for stealing scenes when he was just
seven and Thompson was on comedy Hype News

62
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.960
earlier in the week. He said
Tracy Morgan accosted him when he was just

63
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.080
seven years old during their time together
on The Tracy Morgan Show, which ran

64
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.520
on NBC in two thousand and three. Thompson is now twenty eight. Thompson

65
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.560
said, I remember being a kid
on a certain set and the star of

66
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.600
this certain project that I was working
on. The fella got mad at me.

67
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.800
I'm just a seven year old kid, just doing my job. Bro.

68
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.720
He got mad at me, grabbed
my collar and he was like,

69
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.800
who the f is that on my
sign? My fella, that's how he

70
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.199
handled me, he said. Tracy
Morgan told him to stop getting in scenes

71
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.399
and hamming it up. The same
fella turned around and did an interview and

72
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.560
acted like it was all good,
Like, oh yeah, if he's stealing

73
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.000
a scene and that's what it should
be. I only want to be the

74
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.120
best, Thompson said, but fella, that's cap That ain't the truth.

75
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.839
That ain't how you felt for real, because you took me as a seven

76
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.279
year old child and made me feel
bad for doing my job well. Thompson

77
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.000
said Tracy's criticism hurt him because he
was only doing what he was learning from

78
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.120
Tracy. That's the cold part.
He claimed. The experience has messed him

79
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.439
up. He rained on a seven
year old kid's parade. During the interview,

80
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.800
Thompson had avoided mentioning the name of
the actor. The interviewer guessed it

81
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.480
was Tracy Morgan from the context clues. Then Thompson said, I ain't ducking

82
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.319
nothing. It's Tracy Morgan. He
says he has no bad blood towards Tracy,

83
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.600
but the kid and me has still
heard about that. The grown man

84
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.800
at me don't give a damn.
Tom Segoria has got another deal with Netflix.

85
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.639
It's a six episode dark comedy series
that Segora will start in and produce.

86
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.600
In untitled series, Tom Segora will
serve as the narrator, will see

87
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.639
him take the viewer through a series
of vignettes in each episode. The twisted

88
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.680
comedic sensibility of a stand up is
the core DNA of the series where every

89
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:40.600
story will unfold in a hilariously disturbing
way only Tom Segora could imagine. All

90
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.240
right, twenty twenty five for that
one. Gerrod Carmichael, who I'm just

91
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.399
not interested in. He was on
Andy Cohen's show and they started talking about

92
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:53.879
Gerrod's foot fetish. Don't care.
Carmichael said, you know it's new.

93
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.519
I'm really in a feat lately.
It was taboo. Cohen said, yeah,

94
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.160
because you're sucking some feet on a
grinder date in the first episode the

95
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.319
show. Carmichael said, yeah,
all in whatever. The La Times spoke

96
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.959
to Chris Ostrata. They had some
fun banter about Twitter. The interviewer said,

97
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.560
on Twitter, which is always what
I referred to it as, not

98
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.240
X. Astrata said, I joke
around with that. I know Elon Musk

99
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.319
bought Twitter and it's called X,
but it's the only time I feel like

100
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.480
an old person that doesn't respect pronouns. I'm like, you were born Twitter

101
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.879
and you will die Twitter. I
will not call you X. That's a

102
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.439
great joke, La Times. On
Twitter, you posted about how standing at

103
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.040
five eleven makes you a tall Mexican. What are some advantages of being a

104
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.399
giant among your people, Astrata said, definitely, going to Northgate and reaching

105
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.279
things other Latinos can't. I joke
about that because five eleven's not tall.

106
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.800
But around a lot of Latinos that
I grew up with, sometimes I was

107
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.680
the taller one. I always joke
around. If you're over five eleven,

108
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.279
you're tall. But if you're over
five eleven is a Latino? You have

109
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.279
Andre the giant disease. The Times
interviewer said, well, I'm six six

110
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.839
in Mexican, so I'll consider you
my brethren. Astrada said, you have

111
00:06:53.959 --> 00:07:05.360
Andre the giant disease? Did you
grow up by a nuclear plant? Gossup

112
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:15.759
co Corner and on Gossip Corner,
Amber Rose has set the record straight.

113
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.959
She is not dating Chris Rock.
I don't know why you think she was.

114
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.480
They were seen out and about together
in New York City, and she

115
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.240
told Entertainment Tonight it was not a
date. I've been friends with Chris Rock

116
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.879
for like thirteen years. We met
for coffee. We talked some crap to

117
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.319
each other. He made me laugh
because he's hilarious, and that's our friendship,

118
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.560
just friendship. It's comedy festival time. Let's see what's going on at

119
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.519
the various festivals. John, did
you preload the Melbourne website? Of course

120
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.959
not. Maybe I'll do that now
while I tell you about Moontower at Moontower

121
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.360
seven o'clock, Nicole Byer seven o'clock, Jeff Ross doing a lot of shows,

122
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.959
Shane Gillis at eight, Joe Para
nine thirty, Racial Bloom nine thirty,

123
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.319
Let's see. Hmm. Now I'm
cheating because I already tape Saturday,

124
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.879
so I know tomorrow I'm gonna say, let's go see Shane Gillis. So

125
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.439
let's see Nicole Byer at seven and
do Joe Parrett nine thirty has that sound?

126
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.040
And at Melbourne let's do some without
clips today. Laurence Driscoll's show is

127
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.199
called The Product Gay Sun. Prodigal
doesn't mean what you think it does,

128
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.600
but Lawrence can't explain it for you. He's too busy sorting through flashbacks of

129
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.079
growing up gay in rural Australia and
escaping into the city as a gay refugee.

130
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.720
Here's hoping the healing power of laughter
works. No reviews. Oliver Hunter's

131
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.279
show is called Baby on Board.
Oliver's back and he's at a massive year,

132
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.839
he's getting married, there's a baby
on the way. Is he ready?

133
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.399
Absolutely not? Is he excited?
He's working on it. Oliver's laid

134
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.759
back in the Conic style will have
you rolling with laughter. Sceinster called it

135
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.759
charming, witting and offering a perspective
that doesn't get much airtime. Rachel Taliney's

136
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:46.320
show is called Motion Sickness, car
crashed, job sacked, bags packed?

137
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.960
Did someone say Eurosummer? Rachel lives
her life in the fast lane, that

138
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.799
is until a life changing car accident
sends her into a fashionably early quarter life

139
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:58.080
crisis. The result the trip of
a lifetime baby hugging comedians said it was

140
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.480
legendary one and a half stars.
Theater thoughts said Tunney almost quite literally explodes

141
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.320
onto the Melbourne comedy scene. The
Australian Arts Review said, tightly wound original

142
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.320
songs and rye asides and kicking off
today until next Sunday, April twenty first,

143
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:20.559
it's the Dubai Comedy Festival. Two
venues there, Dubai Opera and the

144
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.679
Coca Cola Arena. Roxy Cinemas at
the Dubai Hills Mall will also host several

145
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:30.600
shows, putting a spotlight on stars
from the Egyptian Emmorati and South African comedy

146
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.240
scenes. The Frank Skinner Show on
Sunday, It's been canceled, so if

147
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.000
you're heading to Dubai to see Frank
Skinner, full refunds will be provided though,

148
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.720
so that's good. Catherine Ryan has
been added to the lineup. She'll

149
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.960
play Dubai Opera tonight. She says, I'm a self author of my comedy,

150
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.519
so I do talk a lot about
my life and mistakes, but now

151
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.679
I do have to consider more people's
feelings, Like I want to talk about

152
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.159
my family and kids, but I
don't want to dunk on my husband constantly

153
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.679
either, because I do plan to
keep them around. And with all that's

154
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.200
been happening in my life, I've
pretty much checked out of comedy for a

155
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.919
couple of years in the lef landscape
change during that time. So the challenge

156
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.080
for me now is how to still
make self deprecating jokes and not be afraid

157
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.200
of this new genre of comedy where
people are scared of being canceled and very

158
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:15.039
careful fortune Fiemster is taping her new
special at the More Theater in Seattle tonight

159
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.080
and tomorrow She's described as affable,
charismatic, and one of a kind.

160
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.759
Richard Cervat has a new comedy album, They're Gonna Know, that's out on

161
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.720
Blonde Medicine. They're Gonna Know as
an exploration of the modern world we live

162
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.440
in, where trolls no longer live
in caves but abound in in cell forms

163
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.639
in the cloud. The Internet's out
of hand and Richard is not afraid to

164
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.440
say it. The album also tells
the story of Richard buying three hundred bitcoins

165
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.440
when they cost a dollar, so
he must be a trillionaire, and spending

166
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.120
them all on magic mushrooms. Oof. If the math is right, that

167
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.000
was a seven million dollar trip.
And that is your comedy news for today.

168
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.759
