Callaroga Shark Media.
2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:12.679
Today's gonna be engsty. I'm gonna try and keep it fun,
3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.080
but I'm not sure I'm gonna succeed. Hello, I'm Johnny
4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.120
Mack with your daily comedy News. I've played with the
5
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.320
show order several times today and I'm like, all right,
6
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.719
let me start with the fun stuff up first before
7
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.120
we really get to it. But even this first story
8
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.160
annoys me. From Netflix, the headline Pete Davidson to host
9
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.119
new weekly video podcast from his garage. No, I'll push
10
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:33.719
back on that headline in a minute, but first, let
11
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.159
me tell you the story from the Netflix site. When
12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.359
Saturday Night Live Along, Pete Davidson heads into his garage,
13
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.880
turns on some cameras and starts talking to his friends.
14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.119
You might think he's fixing his car or trying to
15
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.079
find a hammer. Not in Davidson's case, He's filming a
16
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.439
podcast for Netflix, which feature candid no holds bars conversations.
17
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.520
I'm trying not to jump in here, or I keep
18
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:57.719
going on the Pete Davidson Show. A new video podcast Yeah,
19
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.039
will be exclusive on Netflix starting Friday, January thirtieth at
20
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.480
twelve oh one am Pacific Standard times. Let me translate that,
21
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.959
so that means it comes out Friday at three am
22
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.760
on the East Coast c watch it on Friday's episodes
23
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.799
drop every week. Pete will shoot the podcast primarily from
24
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.680
his garage, where all the best conversations happen, but he
25
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.400
will occasionally take the show on the road. Pete said,
26
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:24.959
Netflix was the home of one of my first stan
27
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.040
Up specials, so it felt right to bring the podcast
28
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.959
there too. It's me and my friends talking about anything
29
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.159
and everything. It's going to be a great time. It's
30
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:32.959
good that you feel that way about Netflix. Remember you
31
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.560
had a show on Peacock and you walked away from it.
32
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.439
People lost their jobs, Pete, remember that one. Remember Lauren Michaels,
33
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.879
he was good to you. But hey, Netflix, they're making
34
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.519
quote unquote podcast now. Now, as a podcaster, this has
35
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.359
me up in arms. Listen to me write this down.
36
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.840
In no way whatsoever is this thing a podcast. This
37
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.280
is a TV show. It may be a very inexpensively
38
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.280
produced TV show, it may be a casual TV show,
39
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.879
but this is in no way a podcast. Because I
40
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.519
will refer to you to Netflix's own language, exclusively available
41
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.560
on Netflix. That's not a podcast. That's a Netflix show.
42
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.479
Is Stranger Things a podcast that's available exclusively on Netflix?
43
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.360
Why isn't Stranger Things a podcast? Clearly Stranger Things as
44
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.680
a podcast, is it not? So this just as a
45
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.919
podcaster annoys me? That aside? Should we just start taking
46
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.400
bets on when Pete Davison walks away from this, because
47
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.319
he does have a history of walking away from projects,
48
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.520
and I wish him well and it alway struggles with
49
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.199
mental health. But I'm just looking at this and I
50
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.759
got my podcast nose at a whack on this story.
51
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:35.479
But how long is Pete Ashley going to do this?
52
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.520
We'll find out. We'll be tracking this tolligence. Today's going
53
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.439
to be angsty. That's not even the angsty part, that's
54
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.479
the fun part. Taylor Tomison has inked a deal for
55
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.479
another Netflix special, this one called Prodigal Daughter. It will
56
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.520
premiere February twenty fourth. It is Taylor Thomason's fourth for Netflix.
57
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.639
Prodigal Daughter was taped at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
58
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.520
Bobby Lee, now we're gonna find out if his career
59
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.639
has peaked because he is due doing a stand up
60
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.360
special on Hulu. And you know, Johnny Max's theory on
61
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:07.400
hularious specials. When you get a special on Hulu, you
62
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.120
might be a little past your peak. Now here's a
63
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.520
name to keep your eye on, Nicki Glazer. We're at
64
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.039
peak Nikki Glazer. Now. Everyone including me is favorable towards
65
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.479
Nicki Glazer right now. But her next special will be
66
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.400
on Hulu. We'll see how the hilarious chinks goes for
67
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.800
Nicki Glazer. I Digress. Bobby Lee is getting a special
68
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.199
on Hulu. No description, no release date, but it did
69
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.719
make the trades. Bobby Lee's filming the special at the
70
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.800
Balboa Theater in San Diego this weekend and now tomorrow
71
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.439
on Hulu. Bob the Drag Queen has a comedy special.
72
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.759
It's called This Is Wild. Brian volkwis he's a good guy,
73
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.560
worked with him in the past. He's one of the
74
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.120
producers over at Comedy Dynamics. He said. Bob's new special
75
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.520
is absolutely hilarious front to back. Bob is one of
76
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.360
those performers that seems to have been born for the
77
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.120
stage and that shines through in her new special. Brian
78
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.199
really knows comedy, so I respect that opinion a lot. Oh,
79
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.479
while I'm throwing. Today, Amazon Prime Video has picked up
80
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.919
the animated comedy series Odd Jobs. In Odd Jobs the
81
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.360
years twenty twenty seven, the world was in an extreme
82
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.919
late stage capitalist hellscape. The show follows a reluctant team
83
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.360
of gig workers as they travel around the neo Midwest
84
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.319
doing the weirdest, most dangerous things the Odd Jobs app demands.
85
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.879
Here's my problem with this one. One of the co
86
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.720
creators is Mike McMahon, who's that he's one of the
87
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.319
people involved with Kurtzman's Star Trek. Now he made the
88
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.279
Lower Deck series, which a lot of people like, and
89
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.680
I just can't stand because it doesn't belong in Star Trek.
90
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.680
I like Rick and Morty. I like Star Trek. I
91
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.120
don't need the two to cross. So he's on my
92
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.279
list of comedy people destroying Star Trek. So Mike McMahon,
93
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.079
Paton Oswald, who play Dug the Vulcan, don't get me started,
94
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.160
take Nataro part of that horrible Star Trek discovery, and
95
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.959
Gina is Sheer is part of this new terrible Starfleet
96
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.560
Academy show. Don't even Starve Me. I mentioned Trevor Noah
97
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.600
is hosting the Grammys, and I was like, did I
98
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.199
ever do the story of the Grammy nominations? And I
99
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.800
looked and I'm like, oh, it came out the day
100
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.800
I flew to go visit my daughter and got into
101
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.199
the airport at two am. I think I may have
102
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.759
missed this one, and that is why it was a Friday,
103
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.040
and I had pre taped the weekend, and like I said,
104
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.240
I got it very late. So it was probably that
105
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.600
or a couple of weeks away from the Grammys. But
106
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.839
the nominations for Best Comedy Album, and by Best Comedy Album,
107
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.360
the Grammys people mean best TV special. Wanet impress me
108
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.920
put out a CD. I've gotten on that soapbox for
109
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.360
years and years and years now. Anyway, the Grammys define
110
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.480
comedy album as things containing greater than seventy five percent
111
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.920
playing time of new recordings, so the word there was
112
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.279
recording as opposed to me, who would like, you know,
113
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.439
an album album like Born in the USA. That's an
114
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.439
album that's not a Netflix special, although Netflix would probably
115
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.839
say Born in the USA as a podcast. I digress.
116
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.000
Your nominees are drop Dead Years by Bill Burr, now
117
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.560
post Mortem by Sarah Silverman, That should win. Single Lady
118
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.560
by Ali Wong my former co worker Jamie Fox is
119
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.680
what had happened was and Nate Brighetzi's your friend, Nate Burghetzie.
120
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.800
I would pick Sarah out of that group? And who
121
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.279
the academy will pick? I have no idea. All right,
122
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.160
onto the feisty stuff. See that was the happy part
123
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.240
of today's podcast. Really, John, Yeah, really, onto the feisty stuff.
124
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.839
Jay Leno, that guy's the worst. He says. Modern comedy
125
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.600
is overshadowed by the outrageous society we live in. As
126
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.680
if Jay Leno knows anything about performing stand up comedy,
127
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.439
has he ever been on a stage. Jay was on
128
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.240
Maria Shriver's podcast and said, you know, people always say, oh,
129
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.319
I bet you missed it with Trump being president. No,
130
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.079
not really. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. You know,
131
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.879
you kind of do it. Psychologists used to say the
132
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.120
punchline of the joke would be like, that's like the
133
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.040
president with a stripper. Okay, now the president's with strippers.
134
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.560
Shriver asked if Jay Leno envied today's late night scene
135
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.160
or if he was glad he wasn't part of it.
136
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:47.759
Jay said, I mean, you can't. We live in a
137
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.160
society where there's nothing you could say that's so outrageous
138
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.399
because comedy comes from a place of conservatism. You start
139
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.800
with a sort of moral high ground. Jay told an
140
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.319
anecdote about performing at a prison. I had an act
141
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.639
about meeting women. You know, I said, you know, when
142
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.199
you see a girl you're not quite sure how to
143
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.120
approach her. This guy yees out, Just put her in
144
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.680
the face and effort and they all cheer, and I go, okay,
145
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.199
I'm playing a prison. The idea of approaching and being
146
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.079
it just made me laugh because the culture wars of
147
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.959
the prisoner are not really the same ones I'm dealing
148
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.199
with here. Shreiver said. It was like what used to
149
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.240
be off limits it is now real, and what it
150
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.240
was shocking is now every day. Lenel said, That's why
151
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.839
it's fun to go the other way. I'd just like
152
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.959
to work clean because it requires a bit more thought
153
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.240
and it makes it trickier. We have it in a
154
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.839
society now where people just whatever they're into. There's an
155
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.639
audience for that, and you just play to that audience.
156
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.120
Jay says his ticket sales have gone up since taking
157
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.759
politics out of his act. I'm on the road a lot.
158
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.480
It just took politics out of it completely. I know
159
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.360
ticket sales are up twenty thirty per cent just because
160
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.560
nobody wants to be lectured, So like, I get it,
161
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.920
and I disagree. And now we're up to the angsty
162
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.079
part of the show. And I know, I know this
163
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.360
next section might cost me some listeners, but like, I'll
164
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.199
try and do this through the lens of comedy. But
165
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.000
I got to tell you what's bugging me. And I'm
166
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.680
of the belief if you have a show, whether it's
167
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.480
a dopey podcast in your basement or it's an eleven
168
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.560
thirty show on a network, you got to use your
169
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.160
platform sometimes when you have it. One person using his
170
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.199
platform is Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan has compared some of
171
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.360
the recent stories involving Ice to the Gestapo, and that
172
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.160
got me thinking the president losing Joe Rogan is like
173
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.519
the ridiculous twenty twenty six version of LBJ losing Kronkite,
174
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.399
Like comparing Joe Rogan to Cronkite is like comparing any
175
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.519
other president to this one if you're not familiar. In
176
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.960
nineteen sixty eight, Walter Cronkite on The News said, it
177
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.360
seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience
178
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.799
of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate. This is
179
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.639
nineteen sixty eight. To say we are closer to victory
180
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.240
today is to believe, in the face of evidence the
181
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.639
optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest
182
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:47.480
we're on the edge of defeat is to yield to
183
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.399
unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in a
184
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.440
stalemate seems the only realistic and yet unsatisfactory conclusion. It
185
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.320
is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational
186
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.639
way out, then will be to negotiate not as but
187
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.519
an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to
188
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.799
defend democracy and did the best they could. So that's
189
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:10.320
when LBJ lost Cronkite, And in twenty twenty six, I
190
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.559
think the President of the United States has lost Joe Rogan.
191
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.000
Now I'm sensitive to this story. I'll tell you something
192
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.600
from my little corner of the world. This from Eyewitness
193
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.559
New seven. They're discussing a raid that happened over the
194
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.159
weekend at a laundromat at Speedwell Avenue in Henry Street
195
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.159
in Morristown, New Jersey. Now, I'll tell you if I
196
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.159
went out to my driveway and I threw a frisbee
197
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.000
really hard and the wind caught it. It might land
198
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.519
in the laundromat over by Morristown and Morristown High School.
199
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.960
Ice rated a laundromat. One of the people rounded up
200
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.480
was a seventeen year old who apparently has a four
201
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.080
point two GPA at the high school. The seventeen year
202
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.799
olds being held at a federal detention facility. His brother
203
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.320
said that the boy is very scared. He's in pain
204
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.440
for the injuries he has, and he's worried about his family.
205
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.159
Worried about his brother here and his mother back in Honduras.
206
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.720
Two women say they spoke to a relative of one
207
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.320
person who has taken. I'm not sure if this is
208
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.639
the boy or someone else. One of the women said
209
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:04.399
he came in to do his laundry and his cousin
210
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.960
told me he was taken. He was just cleaning his
211
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.120
clothes and he was taken. A lot of people were taken.
212
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.240
The eyewitnesses say that included the father of a six
213
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.480
year old girl, and the child was left alone on
214
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.600
the street until other adults stepped in. Here's Joe Rogan.
215
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.639
I could also see the point of view of people
216
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.200
who say, yeah, but you don't want militarized people in
217
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.799
the streets just roaming around snatching people up, many of
218
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.279
which turn out to actually be US citizens. They just
219
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.480
don't have their papers on them. Are we really going
220
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.279
to be to the Gestapo? Where's your papers? Is that
221
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.240
what we've come to? So it's more complicated than I
222
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.120
think people want to admit. You know, people want to
223
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.679
look at this as a black and white issue, you know,
224
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.720
if you're a compassionate person or if you're a pragmatic person.
225
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.559
And I don't think that's true. I think it's both.
226
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.919
I'm with Joe, complicated issue, but really we're just going
227
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.039
to start knocking down doors and shooting people in the street. Now,
228
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.159
sticking with Ice for a second from boy boying comedian
229
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.720
Ben Palm. Motto is you can be anything, and over
230
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.639
the years, Ben has pretended to be anything from GBT
231
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.240
to cracker barrel to poke fun at right wing outrage.
232
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.039
His latest thing is pretending to be an Ice agent.
233
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.120
Here's a quick clip.
234
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.440
I made a website for reporting illegal immigrants, and people
235
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.840
end up on the site thinking that it's real. And
236
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.840
I talked to one lady who wanted to report every
237
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.559
Uber driver that picked her up claiming that they're all
238
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.039
using fake driver's licenses to work for Uber.
239
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.000
And I listened to nothing and I thought about playing it,
