00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:11.560
Pro tip, actually plug in your microphone or you wind
3
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:13.359
up having to do the first eight minutes over on
4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.839
your podcast. Hi, I'm Johnnie mag with your daily comedy
5
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:21.600
news rookie mistake, you idiots? Hey, am I crazy? Wasn't
6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.320
it like twelve days ago Tony Hinchcliff was at Madison
7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.039
Square Garden and he told a joke about Puerto Ricans
8
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:32.000
and people got all irate about it. Well, Atrian Applelucci
9
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.840
dropped her new special on Netflix and told this chunk,
10
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.439
I'll share it with you. I found the chunk on
11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.520
Samuel's Twitter account. Let me play it and then I'll
12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:42.439
have some commentary.
13
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:44.759
Hamas has to kill all of the Jews.
14
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.119
They are really limiting it to Israel, right, like if
15
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.240
they wanted all of the Jews dead, and they do
16
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.200
it globally, it's just local. Well, which lets you know,
17
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.479
it's not really about the Jews. It's about whoever is
18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.320
occupied that space. If Asian people live there, they would
19
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.680
hate the Asians, you know, Like, look at me. I've
20
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.280
lived in the Bronx my entire life, so I hate
21
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:17.200
Puerto Ricans And what I am proposing is a little
22
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:26.480
exchange program where we send the Puerto Ricans to Israel
23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.519
and send the Jews to the Bronx, and then you
24
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.480
watch how quickly the Palestinians will be begging for the
25
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:36.400
Jews back.
26
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:48.239
Like, oh my god. But these people never sleep. He's
27
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:49.519
always playing music.
28
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.719
Yeah, Now, how come nobody's upset about that? One is
29
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.120
because one was at a political rally and the other
30
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.799
was set at a stand up comedy club. Perhaps maybe
31
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.079
they're both comedians. I personally am able to understand the
32
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.199
difference between comedians telling jokes and hate speech. I don't
33
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.960
believe Adrian actually wants to send Puerto Ricans to Israel.
34
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.479
I think she's kidding or is the election over or
35
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.199
I don't know. If she did that set at Madison
36
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.680
Square Garden, people would be irate. No yes, no, yes, yes, no, yes. Anyway.
37
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.719
I watched Adrian apple Lucci's The Dark Queen or Dark
38
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.560
Queen whatever it's called on Netflix. It's okay. I struggled
39
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.280
with it. I'm struggling with my emotions. And there's a
40
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.479
thread on the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group
41
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.080
where you can discuss this with us. I think her
42
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.479
writing is on point. I think there are particular chunks
43
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.840
that work really well, but as a whole I struggled
44
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.240
with it because I don't find any of the premises
45
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.199
to be real, and I need some reality. I need,
46
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.240
I need my comedy to be at least a little
47
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.680
bit reality based. So here she's telling for an hour
48
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.400
untrue premise after untrue premise, and each untrue premise comes
49
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.400
with the shocking twist. And you can do that in comedy,
50
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.520
but I think that works better if you do it
51
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.759
after a chunk based in truth, whereas this is just
52
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.120
absurdist joke after absurdist joke. Again, the writing's funny, The
53
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.840
individual parts work well, they'll probably work really well on
54
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.759
social media, but as a whole it was just like,
55
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.000
all right, I'm forty five minutes in here. You haven't
56
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.319
said a single truth thing yet unless you actually do
57
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
want to ship Puerto Ricans to Israel, I do think
58
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.520
you're kidding. So overall it won't make my end of
59
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.039
the year list. However, I'll recommend that you watch it
60
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.439
because it is entertaining. I was entertained until I wasn't
61
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.800
entertained anymore. Controversial comedian Shane gillis, that's how the headlines
62
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.560
phrase him, He's announced a tour controversial comedian Shane Gillis. Now,
63
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.439
let me ask you what is controversial about Shane Gillis?
64
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.439
Is it because he got higher than fired by SNL
65
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.639
many moons ago because somebody noticed something he had said
66
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.479
on a podcast previously, and then we canceled Shane Gillis,
67
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.719
And then Shane Gillis went, I'm not canceled, And he's
68
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.080
one of comedy's biggest stars right now, so everybody loves
69
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.240
him again. Is that it? Anyway? The controversial comedian's tour
70
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.199
is called Jane Gillis Live. He must have worked a
71
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.400
really long time on that one, but it does get
72
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.960
the job done. It's a twenty seven city tour kicking
73
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.840
off January tenth in San Antonio. Is a mostly US
74
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.319
show with two random shows in March in Dublin and
75
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.519
then London. The Dublin show March twenty first. Maybe he
76
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.920
just wants to at Saint Patrick's day over there. Who knows.
77
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.120
He's not playing anywhere near my house. I would have
78
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.560
to drive closest. One looks like Albudy in New York,
79
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.000
in case you're curious. Would surprise me if he adds
80
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.800
dates Deacon Mike April eleventh, Cleveland, you should go. Elon
81
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.800
Musque has responded to Chloe Fineman's accusation that he made
82
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.839
her burst into tears when Elon hosted the show. Elon tweeted, frankly,
83
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.399
it was only the Thursday before the Saturday that any
84
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.319
of the sketches generated laughs. I was worried. I was like, Damn,
85
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.759
my SNL appearance is going to be so unfunny that
86
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.759
it'll make a crackhead sober. But then it worked out
87
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.519
in the end. He did not address Chloe's comments. He
88
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.600
did not apologize. People are catching up on that John
89
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.120
Mulaney profile in GQ, which I shared in the Facebook
90
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.480
group Daily Comedy, his podcast group been talked about a
91
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.519
little bit yesterday and we'll talk about for the next
92
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.319
few days. One of the things we learned is that
93
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.319
Comedy Central twice tried to get John Mulaney to take
94
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.360
over the Daily Show. The first time was when John
95
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.879
Stewart left, which on a timeline would have made sense
96
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.639
for John Mulaney, and the other time quote more recently,
97
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.439
which career wise, I don't think makes any sense for
98
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.920
John Mulaney. Why would John mulaney host The Daily Show
99
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.480
in twenty twenty four. Right, No, why would he do that?
100
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.279
Mulaney said, it wasn't the right thing. At the moment,
101
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.199
we're hearing mullany is going to do twelve more episodes
102
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.439
of that Netflix late night show. That'll be fun. Congratulations
103
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.079
to John Krasinsky. He has been named sexiest man alive
104
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.079
by people. So if you find yourself in meetings making
105
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.199
faces because the meeting is ridiculous, one of two fates
106
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.560
awaits you. Either you become the sexiest man alive or
107
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.560
you find yourself recording a podcast on the basement fifteen
108
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.639
years later. One of those two things is true. Remember Gallagher,
109
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.040
there's a new documentary about him. Gallagher is a tale
110
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.959
of triumph, heartick, and the resilience of an endlessly creative mind.
111
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.480
You remember the dude he smashed watermelons? Remember that? But
112
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.879
that was only a fraction of his act. Gallagher was
113
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.600
at heart a wordsmith, poet, and a visual absurdist. Over time,
114
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.879
Gallagher's fame faded. He claims he never landed a sitcom
115
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.560
because he spent too much time on the road. Was
116
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.079
that true? Was he difficult to work with? Was he unlucky.
117
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.560
What about the urban legend that his brother stole his
118
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.160
act as Gallagher two? Who is the real Gallagher? Well,
119
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.399
the new documentary Gallagher makes its world premiere at the
120
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.439
doc NYC Film Festival today. They have shared a trailer
121
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.319
with me from which I will excerpt. You're gonna hear
122
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.120
some voices that you'd be like, ah, I know that voice.
123
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.959
The voices you're going to hear include in order, Bill Burr,
124
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.560
Howie Mandel, and Bobcak Goldwaite.
125
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.920
As like twelve thirteen. To see an adult acting like
126
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.480
that freedom, there was a silliness. It was visceral, and
127
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.399
it was relatable and it was.
128
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.360
Fun, but at the same time it becomes the only
129
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.279
thing people known for.
130
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.160
He had really smart material too. He was really brilliant,
131
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.600
and he garnered a bigger audience in a wider swath
132
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.639
and more television than anybody of his era. So what
133
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.680
happened to Gallagher? What happened to that surreal hippy genius
134
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:12.519
I saw as a kid?
135
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.399
I worked with Gallagher once when I had the Raw
136
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.600
Dog Comedy channel at Sirius, which is audio only by
137
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.240
the way. We had Bob Goat come in to smash
138
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.959
watermelons on the radio, because that was the kind of
139
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.519
thing we did. We like absurdus humor. You've heard me talk.
140
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.360
I like Letterman, I like Conan, I like things that
141
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.439
make no sense. Why would we have a guy smash
142
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.160
watermelons on the radio. I don't know, but it was funny,
143
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.959
and I will tell you. We did this in the
144
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.639
it's called the Fishbowl studio, which is the main studio
145
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.319
at Sirius. It's called the Fishball because it's all glass,
146
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.160
so a lot of people can gather around and watch
147
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.639
the recording from outside the studio. Oh my, did we
148
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.920
draw a crowd for that? It was huge. There is
149
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.600
a clip on YouTube if you want to look for it.
150
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.759
Just google raw Dog Gallagher. I think it'll come up. Yep,
151
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.800
raw Dog Gallagher. The first clip that came up from
152
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.000
April sixteenth to two thousand and eight. Gallagher is still
153
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.199
smashing watermelons. That's the clip you're going to look for.
154
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.000
We actually did this thing. It was hilarious. I didn't
155
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.959
find him difficult to work with at all. I found
156
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.160
him cool. I found him fun. I thought he went
157
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.879
along with the gags that we had for him, and
158
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.399
it was a great broadcast. Check out that video if
159
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.000
you enjoy what I do here. There are several ways
160
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.360
to support the show. One way is go to buy
161
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.639
me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. Now
162
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.920
I'm doing my usual shake the cup bit, and I
163
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.439
see the ice has already melted. And it's only eleven
164
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.240
thirty in the morning as I'm recording, so there should
165
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.879
be more ice. Now here's the thing. When I went
166
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.480
to the chain this morning, it was a mess. Nobody's
167
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.879
order was ready. And every now and then, this is
168
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.039
my number one donut chain, pet Peeve, they do the
169
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.360
thing where it's not really a nice coffee, it's hot
170
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.279
coffee that they poured over ice because the orders were
171
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.080
backed up and they don't have enough stuff ready, and
172
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.799
that's what happened today. I hate when they do that.
173
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.399
Anyway you could support the show, you go to buy
174
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.399
me a coffee dot com. Throw some money in the
175
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.120
tip show. I take your money. I go to the
176
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.480
National Donut Chain and I get myself a large iced
177
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.279
coffee with caramel and almond milk. These days trying to
178
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.559
switch up to diet a little bit. If you need
179
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.879
something to watch, Jeff Dye the last Cowboy in La
180
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.320
premieres on the eight hundred pound Gerilla YouTube channel tonight
181
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.480
at seven pm Central Time. Speaking of Central Time, it's
182
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.120
the Flyover Comedy Festival, the annual comedy invasion that takes
183
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.360
over the Grove and a few other venues in Saint Louis.
184
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.480
Your headliners Tik Nazaro and paton Oswalt. Also in town
185
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.960
the Sclar Brothers, Ben Bailey, Jackie Fabulous, Henry Phillips. I
186
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.840
do like the way the Flyover Comedy Festival has their schedule,
187
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.559
and I wish more festivals would do this. It's probably
188
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.519
an Excel sheet or whatever the Google Docs version is
189
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.480
for you kids, but it's just a nice easy way
190
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.279
for podcast hosts to see what is going on tonight,
191
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.120
all on one screen without me scrolling. I see Ben
192
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.840
Bailey is the big headliner tonight at eight o'clock. But
193
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.919
as I'm scanning here, there's an improv show at nine
194
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.039
called Whimsy Lohan and Some Black People, which is just
195
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.039
a great name. Meanwhile, the New York Comedy Festival, they
196
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.840
have theirs in chronological order, so I have to scroll down.
197
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.399
I prefer the grid that way, I can see, like
198
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.200
all the shows at say seven o'clock one line, rather
199
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.480
than scrolling down. Maybe next year in New York can
200
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.440
hire the guy from the Flyover Comedy Festival. Also, I'm
201
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.080
babbling as I sit here waiting for this schedule page
202
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.159
to load. Perhaps there's a big late morning demand on
203
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.840
the schedule tab. People are really excited about the lineup.
204
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.000
Come on load. Why don't you edit that out, John
205
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.799
because that's not fun? Well, fans, I did eventually have
206
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.960
to make an edit as I sat here in silence
207
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.279
waiting for this thing to load. It's not my internet.
208
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.600
I'm checking here. I've got a blazing eighty eight megabytes
209
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.759
per second of downloads. I don't blame Johnny Max's Internet.
210
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.759
I suspect this website has problems because I'm looking at
211
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.440
it and says the laughter starts in negative seven days,
212
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.600
negative twelve hours. Unless that's a joke. You are a
213
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.440
comedy festival. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Well,
214
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.320
they're having problems. The mobile site loaded first, and I'll
215
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.679
tell you when you have all your shows in chronological order,
216
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.200
and we're a week plus into this thing. Now you
217
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.240
have to scroll through like four hundred shows to get
218
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.639
where you want. Why wouldn't you have the newest shows
219
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.320
up top? Why would you do it like this? This
220
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.759
website is terrible. Hire the guy from Flyover? Will you
221
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.440
all right after all that? Who is playing Tonight? Five
222
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.960
thirty at New York Comedy Club for a shaw Ida Rodriguez?
223
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.559
Six thirty at Chelsea Jubuki Young White at the hard
224
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.879
Rock at seven. JB. Smooth at town Hall at seven
225
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.600
Comedy Gives Back Laugh Aid at Gotham at seven o'clock.
226
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.080
Joo Rivers owed to Joan, it's like Joe Rivers a
227
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.879
week at the festival. That's at the Lori Beachman Theater
228
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.039
at seven. This is different than the other Joe Rivers
229
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.120
things I told you about the description of this one.
230
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.279
If Joe Rivers would have been Chinese, she would have
231
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.799
been the spitting image of the glamorous, hysterical Joe Yang Summers.
232
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.240
Just call her Jiao Rivers. That's fun well played here
233
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.879
at the Little Field at eight o'clock The Aristour Taylor
234
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.120
Swift Comedy Show and Dance Party. Do you think Taylor
235
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.799
Swift will show up? Taylor Swift's Eras tour is still
236
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.360
going on, so Zach Schiffman and a gaggle of swifty
237
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.240
comedians will help say goodbye to the never ending epic
238
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.159
concert Lewis Katz haven't heard that name in a while.
239
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.240
His show Old Man Hassel Presents Lewis Katz Live in
240
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.240
Brooklyn at williams Burg at eight David Tell at town
241
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.159
All at nine forty five. That's the show you want
242
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.919
to go see, no doubt, I don't care what else
243
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.320
I didn't scroll down to yet. That's the move. Go
