00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.800
Callaroga Shark Media Jess. When I thought I was out,
2
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:13.919
they pulled me back in.
3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.199
No, this is a different episode. This isn't Friday again. Hello,
4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.920
it's Saturday and I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
5
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.920
So here's what happened in real life. I recorded Friday's
6
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.800
episode and then you have to do what's called the
7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.160
bounce where it takes all the individual tracks and it
8
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.679
shrinks it down, and then later I edited. So during
9
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.039
the bounce it takes like a minute. I pulled out
10
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.759
my phone and I had a message from Well it
11
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.719
was a DM you know who you are. Somebody from
12
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.799
the Facebook group sent me a video by an artist
13
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.039
called crack Amco. The title is re Odd Money featuring
14
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.520
Bill Burr. I had no intention five minutes ago of
15
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.359
putting this in the script, but here in the video,
16
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.960
I'm going to play clips now. Most of these words
17
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.880
said in this video I want no part of. But
18
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.280
as part of this ongoing topic of where are we
19
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:09.760
with all these people, crack Amiko went after these folks hard.
20
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.599
There's a lot of photo shopping here. I'm staring at
21
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.959
an image of Bill Burr wearing something that I'm not
22
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.319
sure Bill actually wears. It's a sort of garb you
23
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.159
might wear in a desert climate. The lyrics in crack
24
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.079
Amiko's video very very edgy, at times inappropriate. So I'm
25
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.640
going to do many many a machete edits here Esse
26
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.879
you can get a feel of what's going on in
27
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.640
the comedy community. You'll find this on YouTube if you
28
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.959
want to watch it. Crack Amco's re Odd Money featuring
29
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:51.760
Bill Burr heavily edited by John Yo. It's Billy Burke. Yeah,
30
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.079
we get read money, baby?
31
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.040
Whoa christ Stephano, Chris. I had to let you know
32
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.680
this festival might rest your Sola Conan and the Eskimos.
33
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.760
To have the soldier drop must not be making no sense.
34
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.280
Just the roastmaster general demoted to lieutenant. I'm the lord
35
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.840
of this landa. I'm evicting these chot tenants who didn't
36
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.039
expect Tommy Buns to take the Saudi funds. Probably fall Rolex.
37
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.680
He don't give the kids a Mommy nun Assez needs this.
38
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.520
I'm ruined for him in the yen because how could
39
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.280
you get canceled for being a horny Indian. I can't
40
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.639
believe what I'm seeing is Pete David c made a
41
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.840
lot of money, but I guess he ain't for saving none.
42
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.719
Never forget well, I guess he forgot now he performing
43
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.400
for the animals that took out his pot.
44
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.919
Helen Lewis in The Atlanta wrote about going to actually
45
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.840
see a show at the Riodd Comedy Festival. Helen writes
46
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.639
the Louis c. K gig was held in Riond's Entertainment district.
47
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.199
The Boulevard, a glorified parking lot that's also home to
48
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.800
a WWE Experience in e sports arena, a numerous stores
49
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.360
selling comic book figurines. Last year, the district hosted a
50
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.039
pop up Harry Potter World, allowing Saudi Arabians to imagine
51
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.120
they were playing qudditture drinking non alcoholic butter beer. It's
52
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.719
giving ahead to promote the comedy festival. The entire place
53
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.159
was decked out with an expansive pho neon, signs of
54
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:02.599
ungrammatical menace, you weren't laugh from this way and ha
55
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.120
ha ha, and statues of the festival's mascot, a giant
56
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.759
smiling microphone with arms and legs I walked past made
57
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.280
for Instagram, street furniture and a professional photographer taking a
58
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.360
picture of a smiling family dad, two kids, and a
59
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.919
mom in a full face veil, skipping ahead. I had
60
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.479
worried about attracting attention by taking notes during the show,
61
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.639
and so instead of a reporter's pad, I had brought
62
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.000
a pastel pink gratitude journal, which I'll expense. The crowd
63
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.120
was mostly male, just like it is at American comedy nights,
64
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.400
and the much shorter female security line was staffed by
65
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.159
brisk women's covered and I believe the pronunciation is nie cobbs.
66
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:36.960
I was unfamiliar with the term. I'm looking it up
67
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.840
here a face veil covering the lower part of the
68
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.439
face up to the eyes. She talked about the lineup.
69
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.199
The opener Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell. Maxwell, followed by Ibraheim
70
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.439
al keh Ralla, a Saudi comedian who this article in
71
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.280
The Atlantic tells us is big on Arabic language YouTube.
72
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.520
Then Jimmy Carr bounded on stage. Helen Lewis writes about
73
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.800
three quarters of cars usual materials based on the premise
74
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.879
that he's a sex offender, this event was no exception.
75
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.039
He made a joke about how his rape fantasy is
76
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.599
someone goes to jail for rape. He riffed about euthanasia,
77
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.199
saying we wouldn't let a dog live like this, and
78
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.840
yet people are allowed to go on living. In what
79
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.560
can only be described as pause for timing, Yemen were
80
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.480
told the audience gasped. Jimmy carry asked any lesbians here tonight.
81
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.360
We're told they were silence. Jimmy paused for effect and
82
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.079
then said, of course not. It's a comedy show headliner,
83
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.839
and Louis c k came out, got a lot of cheers.
84
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.839
But interestingly, I don't have any information about what CK's
85
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.319
set was about, so I'd love to tell you I
86
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.439
don't know. Tig Nataro in the News, she was on
87
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.279
Breaking Bread with Tom Poppa and said Cheryl Hines was
88
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.279
one of my favorite friends to be ridiculous with, and
89
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.639
we made each other laugh so hard, and I love documentaries,
90
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.680
and it was fun to watch a documentary every week.
91
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.279
They used to do a podcast together, Tig and Cheryl
92
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.839
True Story. So Tig said, it was fun to watch
93
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:54.839
a documentary every week, but we also took the pressure
94
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.839
off because we'd talk about other things, like who are
95
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.120
attracted to in this documentary? But Cheryl's married to Bobby
96
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.879
Kennedy Junior. When he was announcing his run, I felt
97
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.959
like I needed to step away because there were beliefs
98
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.680
that were like a nant on the arm years ago
99
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.720
that were getting further into the spotlight. Kathy Griffin catching
100
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.399
some attention she made a claim that Donald Trump did
101
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.079
not win a free and fair election last year. She
102
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.800
said this on her own YouTube show. I'm going to
103
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.120
point out that Donald Trump did win a free and
104
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.160
fair election. I'm also going to point out that four
105
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.839
years earlier, Joe Biden won a free and fair election,
106
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.240
despite what some other people might think, and four years
107
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.199
before that, Donald Trump won a free and fair election.
108
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.079
Texas Representative Troy Nils was one of the one hundred
109
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.959
and twenty seven GOP lawmakers who objected to Arizona's electors
110
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.959
during the Electoral College certification process in twenty twenty one.
111
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.759
That was the election that Joe Biden fairly won. He
112
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.319
was critical of Kathy Griffin's election denialism. He wrote on
113
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.279
Twitter that Kathy Griffin is the face of Trump de
114
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:02.000
arrangement syndrome. Right wing account of TikTok posted Kathy Griffin
115
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.800
is now denying the results of the twenty twenty four election.
116
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.319
I was told that denying election results is a threat
117
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.920
to our democracy. Literally shaking right now. And that's just
118
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.639
where we are in comedy right now. I know I've
119
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.959
been super out of character political lately, but you know, hey,
120
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.560
that's where we are. Current Affairs dot Org are going
121
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.759
to talk to John Marco, Sirraisi, commenting on Tim Dillon,
122
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.800
Dylan is starting to lose me as well. His episodes
123
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.519
lately I find are less and less compelling. John Marco said,
124
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.560
I think Tim Dillon, who half the time I get
125
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.920
ticked off by what he does. There are other times
126
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.519
he's the one who's willing to say something so critical
127
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.399
allbeit and aroundabout way, that it gets him disinvited. I
128
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.000
think there's a real honor in a comedian getting disinvited
129
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.720
from the political thing, and to go to the political
130
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.399
thing and be so subversive or so critical that they
131
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.040
do what Michelle Wolf did at the White House Correspondence dinner,
132
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.079
where they canceled it the next year. I say, put
133
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.120
her in the legends of comedy, because that's what you do. Now,
134
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.279
maybe I'll be mistaken. Maybe one of these comedians will
135
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.199
go to the Reotcom festival. It'd be so punchy that
136
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.600
they put him in jail and it becomes the whole thing.
137
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.600
And you know what, if that happens, I'll go okay
138
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.680
to Shay No, that did not happen. Furthermore, if they
139
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.279
are subversive, if they do even one koshogi joker, one
140
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.600
nine to eleven joke, ultimately they're being used to present
141
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.839
the government there as kind of chilling fun and engage
142
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.000
with us, and there's nothing weird going on here. It's
143
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.800
one thing to perform in a country, and it's another
144
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.639
thing to be hired by the government as part of
145
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.639
an explicit propaganda project. John Marco points out comedians were
146
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.600
never meant to have this much money to begin with.
147
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.600
The Court Jester was never supposed to have a cheer
148
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.800
next to the king. That's kind of where we're at. Listen,
149
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.480
I want money. I live in a capitalist world. I
150
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.399
want comforts. There's something beautiful about the way I make
151
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.839
the majority of my money. There are a number of
152
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.560
people who want to see me. There's a middle man,
153
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.839
of course, but they're kind of paying directly to see me.
154
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.519
There's an exchange of goods for money in this particular realm.
155
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.360
The government is using money so they can use your
156
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.519
face for their own purposes. The show doesn't matter to them.
157
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.399
You can bomb You still aren't making a statement. They're
158
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:52.800
using your face and they've been using it for the
159
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.000
past month to be like, hey, we're cool, don't worry
160
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.600
about those things we did. And speaking of money, here's
161
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.680
how Johnny Mack makes a living. Broadway's funniest writers, actors
162
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.360
and composers are coming together to share how they keep
163
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.160
audiences laughing. It is punchline and power ballads. Broadways Funniest
164
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.199
Artists the first ever Broadway panel to be part of
165
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.920
the programming at this year's New York Comedy Festival that's
166
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.240
just like three weeks away now, the country's biggest and
167
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.959
longest running annual comedy festival. Wow, yeah, I guess that
168
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.079
is true. It hasn't been going on that long. Rachel Dratch,
169
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.240
We'll chat with a lineup of writers and actors from
170
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.160
Tony Olivier and Emmy Award winning and nominated hit comedies
171
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.960
Broadway Comedy Club Sunday, November sixteenth, six thirty pm. Adam
172
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.120
Gilbert was asked the best comedy advice and the worst
173
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.360
comedy advice he ever got, he said, best advice probably
174
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.240
the time Tim Northern said let a joke take you places.
175
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.559
I've thought about that phrase so much over the past decade.
176
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.840
It's a great piece of advice. You aren't forcing a
177
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.639
joke somewhere, You're trying to find it and use the
178
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.639
audience as a metronome. Worst advice, dude, you gotta go
179
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.559
on kill Tony. Oh that's harsh. Ah. The Monty Pythons
180
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.720
are fighting again. John Cleese said, very upset to see
181
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.559
that Rick Idol is once again attacking Holly Gilliam. I
182
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.360
want to make it clear that Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam,
183
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.480
and I are totally satisfied with Holly's work. Holly, I
184
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:14.679
guess has been managing the company. Eric Idol commented, I
185
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.759
don't think the company has been as well looked after
186
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.039
as it might have been. I always want an older manager,
187
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.679
someone who's wise and not related to Terry Gilliam. Wow
188
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.799
idle set of John Clees. We don't disagree about comedy.
189
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.159
This is only about money. I mean, a fool and
190
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.919
his money are easily parted six of us much more quickly.
191
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.360
Clees has endorsed Holly's management, calling her very efficient, clear minded,
192
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.440
hard working and pleasant to have dealings with. And that
193
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.240
is your comedy news on a Saturday. All right, meet
194
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.120
you back here tomorrow.
