Oh my goodness, raise your hand. If you had to
3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.480
make your font not one but two sizes bigger to
4
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.879
even read your notes today. Sheez hi. I'm Johnny mack
5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.719
with your daily comedy news. Ricky Gervais is being accused
6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.000
of bullying by fellow comedian Robin Ince from when they
7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.239
toured together. Robin claims Ricky Gervay's backstage jeers took a
8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.560
physical toll on his health when they toured together. Robin says,
9
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.840
I look back now and I think it's bullying. Really
10
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.840
it is. I'm very good at tizing to things in
11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.200
which you go Actually, this is really weird, but people
12
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.479
who knew me didn't like the way that relationship worked.
13
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.600
I'm not saying it was a traumatic experience, but after
14
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.280
two weeks I came out in red lumps that my
15
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.119
doctor said was a stress rash. The fifty five year
16
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.399
old was on the Starting Line podcast and said Jervas's
17
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.679
bullying was so bad that Mackenzie Crook, also from the office,
18
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.039
stepped in and confronted Ricky about it. I gotta download
19
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.600
this thing. Hang on, I'm for real, taking out my
20
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.439
phone and grabbing it face id unlock code. No, I'm
21
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.920
not telling you my code. Were you crazy done? There
22
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.599
seemed to be several podcasts with the title the starting line,
23
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.680
this one the salmon covered cover. Art Ince announced his
24
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.319
retirement in twenty fifteen, saying that he was starting to
25
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.519
go mad with self doubt, insomnia, and orgret over not
26
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.439
spending enough time with his family. He remained friends with
27
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.280
Ricky Gervais until twenty twenty two, when he wrote a
28
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.640
blog post criticizing Ricky for making jokes about transgender people
29
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.040
in his Netflix special. At the time, he wrote, anti
30
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.519
transpunch a lines seemed to have become highly profitable, and
31
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.159
it ignores the dehumanizing effect of a swath of already
32
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.400
martialized people. I think Ricky believes it is him just
33
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.480
being a naughty boy. I believe it makes him a
34
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.159
pin up and role model for the alt right. Meanwhile,
35
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.680
Amazon has released the first trailer for the Australian version
36
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.079
of the Office. The Office Australia will be available on
37
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.000
Prime in two hundred and forty countries starting October eighth,
38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.079
except the United States. You might want to get a VPN.
39
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:56.920
They released a clip which I'll share with you in
40
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.000
a second Hannah Howard is the boss, the managing director
41
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.760
of Sydney based packaging company Finley Cretick, trying to win
42
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.879
over her employees with her natural charisma, girl boss vibes
43
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.280
and visionary leadership. Sounds familiar, right, Well, well it's the office.
44
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.280
What do you want? Also trapped at Finley Cradicktor Hannah
45
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.240
the receptionist productivity manager Lizzie, which is kind of the
46
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.680
Dwight Gareth role. Sales rep Nick, he's the guy that
47
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.400
mugs for the camera and greta eight episode season. You
48
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.000
want to listen, Let's listen. I had to trim this
49
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:27.159
a bit to make it work for the pod, so
50
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:27.759
let's listen.
51
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.759
Big announcement. Can I have a drum roll? Plase drum roll, Lloyd,
52
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.680
that's our drum roll. People ask me how can I
53
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.159
become a great boss? And the answer is having a
54
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:38.599
happy staff that love you.
55
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.560
This is a proper hhon night, ma'am.
56
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.800
As of today, we are all back in the office
57
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.159
full time. What that's not good news? We lost one
58
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.400
of our own last week, Ryan died. We were so close.
59
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.919
He's always in my heart. I was he the tall
60
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:55.400
third one?
61
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.680
Yeah, no, he was the short and Smiley one. Yeah,
62
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.879
that's what I meant, what actual identity is.
63
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.479
He doesn't feel relevant, does it.
64
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.479
He kind of reminds me of if David Brent from
65
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.280
the UK office worked at the Scranton branch and then
66
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.560
we made it all Australian. I'm definitely gonna watch this
67
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.719
thing visually. It looks like the US version for sure.
68
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.159
Thanks to Von for putting this Dean Cook thing as
69
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.360
I have at my notes in front of me. Deane
70
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.879
Cook was supposed to perform at the RPM Theater in
71
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.800
Vancouver last weekend, but the show was canceled based on
72
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.919
some comments in Deane Cook's most recent Instagram post. Shows
73
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.520
and several locales have been canceled. People are wondering why.
74
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.080
Some folks who said they were to attend the Portland
75
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:36.919
show said they didn't learn the show would be canceled
76
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.360
until they were standing in front of the doors. One
77
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.000
redditor said, I'm sure all four people will be refunded.
78
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.520
Someone alleging to be a theater worker said they had
79
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.759
sold under three hundred tickets for a two thousand seat venue.
80
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.680
I find that hard to believe. I don't I would
81
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.120
imagine Dane could easily fill two thousand seats like you do.
82
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.879
Just play the garden. I hope everything's okay with Dane.
83
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.319
Met him once, he was cool, got him some sunshine hips.
84
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.919
True story. The ticketmaster page gave no reason for the cancelation,
85
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.759
neither did Live Nation. All Right. Out today on YouTube
86
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.240
James Adomian's Path of Most Resistance. I got a screener
87
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.319
for this thing, oh like two months ago. It's one
88
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.399
of my favorites of the year. Please watch James Adomian's
89
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.639
Path of Most Resistance on YouTube. You will like it.
90
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.199
Also out today, Ben Kushenbaum's Best Picture. That's on YouTube
91
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.000
starting at six pm Central Time. Ellen has her special
92
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.759
coming out on Tuesday, and she has released a trailer
93
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:33.839
for it. You've heard me tell you many of these jokes.
94
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.639
Now you will hear Ellen tell them. And I have
95
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.279
clipped this down for pacing. You'll never guess you jumped
96
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.279
on stage with Dion Cole on Tuesday night. You can
97
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.839
guess for ten million years. You're never going to guess
98
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.000
Paul McCartney what Dion was working on new material at
99
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.519
the Hollywood Improv. He pulls Paul McCartney up on stage.
100
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.480
He introduces Paul as his friend to the crowd. He
101
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.600
tells the crowd that he and Paul smoked a little
102
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.600
weed before the performance. Those who I've seen the video go, yeah,
103
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.959
that's probably true. Deon tells the crowd, I had a
104
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:05.920
smoke and that's why this is happening, and all you
105
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.879
mfers didn't give any love to me tonight. Paul said,
106
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.199
I've just been enjoying you working through this material, and
107
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.560
you're right, some of it bombed. Deon's new special came
108
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.839
out on Netflix on Tuesday. It's called Okay, mister, I
109
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.160
haven't gotten too yet. Oh what did I watch? I
110
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.199
wanted to tell you, Oh, I watched them. Have I
111
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.040
got news for you? The Roy Wood Junior thing. It's okay,
112
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:29.079
it's watchable. It's not horrible. It's not great. It's not funny,
113
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.360
but it's not horrible. It's not great, it's not funny,
114
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.480
it's not horrible. It's not great, it's not funny, it's
115
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.639
not horrible. That's my review. Jimmy Fallon is putting out
116
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.600
a holiday album later this year. Justin Timberlake was his
117
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.000
guest on The Tonight Show, and they revealed the title
118
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.000
and teaser of their new holiday song called You'll be There.
119
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.639
Jimmy described it as a silly song, noting it's kind
120
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.920
of about a bromance. Justin. Timberlake said, I mean it's us.
121
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.519
Fallon added, Yeah, it's like I was saying, Hey, you'll
122
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.000
be there. You'll be there for me this Christmas. The
123
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.680
currently untitled album is released November. First, I got to
124
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.720
find out who what label this is on. Maybe get
125
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.600
Chimmy on the show. That'd be awesome, all right. From
126
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.759
Gossip Corner, Nikki Glazer posted on Instagram. People were saying
127
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.319
that her dress was a little see through. So you know,
128
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.120
I like to keep you guys abreast of what's happening
129
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.279
in the comedy scene. So I had to click on
130
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.800
this post to do more research. I did see the photo,
131
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.879
and I will tell you it is a very nice photo.
132
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.839
CBS hasiled a new comedy campaign, adding a chuckle to
133
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.439
the I logo and poking some fun and it's Tiffany Heritage.
134
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.600
Chief Marketing Officer Mike Benson said CBS is ready to
135
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.800
break some Tiffany glass. People will say that CBS is
136
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.600
old and stagy, but actually, if you look at our programming,
137
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.040
it's really not. I just turned fifty five, so it's
138
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.120
the only TV station that I'm allowed to watch, and
139
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.839
nobody else cares about anybody under fifty five, so I
140
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.360
have CBS on all the time. Blue Blood Season thirty nine,
141
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.000
Bring It, Mike Benson said, I think we've got a
142
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.879
lot of work to do from a brand perspective, to
143
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.879
show that we can have a lot of fun, that
144
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.839
we're willing to poke fun at ourselves as much as
145
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.519
we want people to come in and laugh at the shows.
146
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.319
We've got the tagline You're laughing at CBS. We'll focus
147
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.120
on returning hits, Ghosts in the Neighborhood, as well as
148
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.319
the new Young Sheldon spinoff of George and Mandy's First Marriage,
149
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.519
any comedy from Damon Wayne's and Damon Wayns Junior called
150
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.120
Papa's House. As part of this new brand, CBS is
151
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.720
introducing a smiling version of its eye logo, which it
152
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.160
has nicknamed chuckle Boy, And you thought hilarious was hack
153
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.560
to be fair? Chuckle is a sli nod to Chuckles,
154
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.399
the clown from the famous episode of The Mary Tyler
155
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.000
Moore Show that in itself a half century old reference. CBS,
156
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.079
you're not helping yourself why not call the logo I
157
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.560
don't know Chester a Arthur. Chester a Arthur was the
158
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.079
twenty first President of the United States, serving from eighteen
159
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.199
eighty one two eighteen eighty five. Oh, it gets worse,
160
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.000
Benson said, CBS will start referring to the term sitcom
161
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:01.759
as sit down comedy to differentiate it from stand up comedy.
162
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.759
She thanks Mike Benson, thank you for clarifying that, And
163
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.879
Mike Benson said, there's a lot of stand up comedy
164
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.879
out there, but we're looking at this not from the
165
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.480
point of view of what comedians do, what value we're
166
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.439
providing our audience almost every day. Boy, this brand just
167
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.560
sounds super hip. You know, it's sit down comedy and
168
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.759
half century old reference. Mike, you get it, You totally
169
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.480
get it. You're totally gonna make this brand younger. Great job,
170
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.879
I mean, CBS just trying to get young. They're also
171
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.439
promoting their new Kathy Bates version of Matt Locke. Yeah
172
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.559
that screams Generation Alpha, put down your phones, kids, and
173
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.600
NCIS prequel called NCIS Origins, and something called the Summit. Oh,
174
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.759
Mike Benson, good luck to you all right, This next
175
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.879
story sucks. Scottish comedian Genie Godly revealed she'd canceled her
176
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.879
upcoming tour, which was called why is she Still here?
177
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.919
I mean ongoing treatment for terminal ovarian cancer. Godly is
178
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.960
sixty three. She was going to tour this fall. Doctors
179
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.360
have advised her to stop working quote for the foreseeable future.
180
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.320
Statement from Jane's team says that it was with huge sadness
181
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.960
that we must announce the cancelation of Janie Godley's Autumn
182
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.840
twenty twenty four tour. Janey's been living with stage four
183
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.080
ovarian cancer for the past few years, and the treatment
184
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.879
has kept the disease at bay, but sadly, in the
185
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.960
last few weeks, the cancer's returned and there have been
186
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.440
a few added complications. Her doctors have now advised her
187
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.639
that she must stop working for the foreseeable future. Previously,
188
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.440
Godley had sold ITV's Lorraine that it was Jimmy Carr
189
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.559
who convinced her to continue her tour despite her diagnosis.
190
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.120
Janey said, I decided to cancel the tour and then
191
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.320
Jimmy Carr said, is your mouth not working? And I
192
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.200
want yeah, my mouth works, and he said we'll get
193
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.879
back on tour. The high planes a comedy festival kicks
194

195
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.639
you may know. Rory Scovell, Chris Estrada, Dina hasham Ian,
196
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.480
Carmel Caitlin Cook, j McBride is fantastic, Josh Gondleman, Joan Oharray,
197
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.600
Adam Clayton holland you know, I'm just skimming here. Mandal
198
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.000
He's one of the comics you should and must know
199
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.799
or whatever Variety's thing is called. It's the eleventh annual
200
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.080
High Planes Comedy Festival, running tonight through the twenty first
201
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.320
at multiple venues on South Broadway. The headlining shows are
202
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.360
at the Paramount Theater. High Planes Comedy Festivals held each
203
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.840
fall in Denver, Colorado, and I showed by Autism and Entertainment.
204
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.639
They partnered with The Miracle Project and The Laugh Factory
205
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.840
to host Let It Out, a stand up comedy show
206
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.279
for neurodivergent fans that this happened last week. Let It
207
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.080
Out featured comedians Will Hunter, Krueger Dunn, Josh Myrowitz, Lori
208
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.679
kil Martin, Jeremiah Watkins, and Eric Griffin. Producer Mike Rotman
209
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.320
told Variety he wanted to create a stand up program
210
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.440
after realizing there were no comedy shows that his neurodivergent
211
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.320
relatives would feel completely comfortable at. Some of the tweaks
212
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.840
for Let It Out reduce the volume of music, allowing
213
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.360
patrons to wear headphones during the performance. They also had
214
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.200
a private space in the back for guests to take
215
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.039
a break at any point they wanted. During Walkin's set,
216
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.919
he took time to dive into trains after a suggestion
217
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:51.960
from a fan in attendance, rather than just doing his
218
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.639
prepared material. Walkin said, I definitely want to try to
219
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.679
cater the crowd and what they're excited about. I love
220
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.799
trying to connect with as many people as possible, and
221
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.639
there shouldn't be an exception for people who are on
222
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.000
the spectrum. Eric Griffin said, the language of laughter is universal.
223
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.039
We're all different more ways than race, gender, sexual orientation.
224
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.240
There's a spectrum and that is your daily comedy news
225
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.159
for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend
226
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.559
about it. They might like it too. If you would
227
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.080
like the program without commercial advertising, there's a link of
228
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.879
the show notes. I'll tell you how that works. And
229
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.159
this podcast supports podcasting two point oh. If you know
230
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.039
what I'm talking about If you'd like to stream some
231
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.840
SATs in my way, you can do that use true
232
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.039
Fans as a great app, or Fountain or what's the
233
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.240
one I like? You think i'd know the one I like?
234
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.279
I have so many apps on my phone are the
235
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.519
one I like? I could just edit this, but that's
236
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:38.639
not fun castematic. But the easiest way to load up
237
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:40.840
a wallet is using true Fans. If you have no
238
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.240
idea what I'm talking about, don't worry about it. Listen
239
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.960
to Adam Curry's podcasting two point oho. He'll explain it
240
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.840
to you. Curry's got a good podcast out every Friday,
241
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.759
all right, see tomorrow
