00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.480
Callaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.199
Hey there, Shane Gillis crushed it. Hi. I'm Johnny Mack

3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:15.080
with your daily comedy news. I will do the late

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.600
night stuff tomorrow instead of the usual Friday, because I

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.440
really want to cover this Shane stuff. I thought he

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.039
was fantastic. There are some mixed reviews on the internet,

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.160
which we will discuss here, but I think it's the

8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.839
number two comedy thing of the year. That Mark Twain

9
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.119
Conan O'Brien thing is number one, But Shane's monologue here fantastic.

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.000
Now understand the crowd. You've got a bunch of famous

11
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.119
athletes who are you trying to act like their Hollywood

12
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.200
And you can see the vibe is should we laugh

13
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.000
at that? Or are we allowed to laugh at that? Yes,

14
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.079
laugh at it. It's funny. Got a bunch of clips

15
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.799
for you. Let's start with the political material. You're Shane

16
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:54.759
Gillis discussing the news of the week.

17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.920
Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the

18
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.600
White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight

19
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:09.560
in DC, Mike Pens almost died. You don't have to

20
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:14.599
do that. Who's fine. I didn't write it. Actually, there

21
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.599
was supposed to be an Epstein joke here.

22
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:16.599
But.

23
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.480
As it got deleted, must have probably deleted itself, right,

24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.640
probably never existed. Actually, let's move on as a country

25
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:29.200
and ignore that.

26
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:35.480
Uh all right, that's very very funny. Come on, everybody,

27
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.280
lighten up here. In this next clip, Shane kind of

28
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.920
loses the crowd with a very solid Shadoor Sanders joke

29
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.000
that's not for nothing on point. Then in the second half,

30
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.799
Shane it reminds me of Letterman or maybe even Carson

31
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.359
on a night where Johnny Carson knew that the monologue

32
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.719
wasn't quite working, but he would win the crowd over

33
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.799
by almost switching to the audience's side, going yeah, I

34
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.719
know these jokes are bad, but let's just roll with it.

35
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.000
Can you hear Shane shift gears here? And I think

36
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.920
he nailed it. And there's two jokes about Kaitlyn Clark

37
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.680
in this segment. I'll play the first joke about Kaitlyn Clark,

38
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.919
which is a home run joke. You people need to

39
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:12.439
lighten up.

40
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.599
Snorg Sanders had his jersey number retired at Colorado this year,

41
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.240
and people are saying it's because of nepotism, because of

42
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.919
his father, and it's not it's because he went thirteen

43
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.439
to twelve over his career and he almost won the

44
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:31.800
Alamo Bowl. Definitely not nepotism, right, all right, it's a

45
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.360
big year for the WNBA. I love Kaitlyn Clark. Kate Yeah,

46
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:40.719
hell yeah, same man, Kaitlyn Clark. She and I have

47
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.960
a lot in common. We're both whites from the Midwest

48
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.680
who have nailed a bunch of threes.

49
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.840
And here's the second Caitlyn Clark joke. This one sourced

50
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.879
from Better Audio, and this one seems to have people

51
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.080
in a little kerfluffle.

52
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.840
When Caitlyn Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to

53
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.599
work at a waffle house so she can continue doing

54
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.319
what she loves most, fist fighting black women.

55
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.599
The setup for this next clip, we're rolling out of

56
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.639
a show. Hey Otani joke. If you're not into sports,

57
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.000
there was a whole betting thing in the Otani universe

58
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.840
a few years back. So that's the setup into this joke.

59
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.960
And I won't spoil where it's heading, but it's solid.

60
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.840
Picture. Hitter and Bookie. A bookie is what Bill Belichick

61
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:34.960
reads to his girlfriend before bedtime. They do. They read

62
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:40.080
the very Horny Caterpillar The Little Engine that Could but

63
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:44.719
needed a pill first, and of course the classic good

64
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.000
Night Boobs. That's my favorite one. Also, I'm not trashing

65
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.000
Bill Belichick. First off, he's seventy three years old. He's

66
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.840
dating a hot twenty four year old and people are

67
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.319
criticizing him. What happened to this country? He used to

68
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.199
be a great country. He won six super Bowls. Yeah,

69
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.919
he's dating a hot twenty four year old. Maybe if

70
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.199
you guys won six super Bowls, you wouldn't be sitting

71
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:16.839
next to a fat, ugly dog wife. They let me

72
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.480
do it, I don't. This is Disney.

73
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.720
They allowed that, and a nice move by Sheen here

74
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.720
at the end. I don't think the audience had any

75
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.680
idea what he was doing here, which is why it

76
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.120
went flat. But this is a tribute to Norm MacDonald.

77
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.879
I shared that joke the other day Norm McDonald at

78
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.439
the sb's and I think this is word for word

79
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.920
what Norm said, but here it is performs by Shane Gillis.

80
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:41.519
There's one thing I want to say before I get

81
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:42.759
out of here, and this is a dumb joke. You

82
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.680
guys aren't even like it, buddy, it was It's just

83
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.720
a Norm McDonald joke that I loved Dwen Eos to

84
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.160
the SBS. I'm gonna do it now. Travis Hunter won

85
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.920
the Heisman Trophy this year.

86
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.120
He's the first defensive player since Charles Woodson to win

87
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.879
the Heisman. Congratulations Travis Hunter winning the Heisman. That's something

88
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.439
they could never take away from you. How you kill

89
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.560
your wife and a waiter, in which case they could

90
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.680
take that away from you. Well, see a lot of

91
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.879
you don't like me, and that's.

92
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.279
Okay, okay. If you listen to this podcast, you're probably

93
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.680
some sort of comedy fan. You've heard the jokes. What

94
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.160
did you think? Pretty good? Now, well, let's look at

95
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.800
the reviews from People Magazine. Shane Killis struggles for laughs

96
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.439
in twenty twenty five SP's monologue as he mocksim Owned

97
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.360
Biles Comma Jordan Hudson. Some crowd members booed as Gillis

98
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.839
struggled through his sb's monologue, telling the crowd at one

99
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.160
point to lighten up. I think I have that clip.

100
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.079
We will get to it. The controversial comedian again with that?

101
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.759
What is he controversial for? For the SNL thing? How

102
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:43.399
many years ago?

103
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:43.680
Is that?

104
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:43.959
Now?

105
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.800
I got news for everybody. Shane Gillis has arrived. Shane

106
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.319
Gillis is super popular. You can keep writing controversial in

107
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.480
your articles because everyone else is writing that. But Shane

108
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.800
Gillis has arrived. The controversial comedian thirty seven, who hosted

109
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.519
Saturday Night Live in March, took to the state blah

110
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.000
blah blah, but largely Gillis's performance appeared to fall flat.

111
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.000
At one point, several crowd members booed from the mezzanine,

112
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.600
and another point, the comedian defended a joke that didn't

113
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.879
land by saying, I didn't write it. That's just a

114
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.680
comedy move. Relax, Relax, it's an award show. USA Today

115
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.839
headline Kaitlin Clark jokes during Shane Gillis sb's monologue met

116
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.040
with mixed reactions, as Shane said, line up a little,

117
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.319
it's not serious. Awful, announcing reports that the monologue didn't

118
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.639
go over well with former ESPN reporter Sarah Spain. Apparently

119
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.639
on social media, Sarah wrote, in a year of crazy

120
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.120
growth for women's sports, choosing an sb's host who doesn't

121
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.399
even try to make clever jokes about women athletes, he

122
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.959
at least attempted for the men he goes with Hackey,

123
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.600
no one knows the WNBA bits. Okay, you want to

124
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.759
go there and say it's hacke to say nobody knows

125
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.000
the WNBA. Here's Shane Gillis, four.

126
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.199
Time WNBA All Star, Britney Hicks is here. Give it

127
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.839
up for Brittany, everybody, I'm uh, I'm joking around. That's

128
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.120
my friend's wife. I knew none of you knew WNBA players.

129
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.720
That's crazy. You clap for that, uh boy? Four time

130
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.759
All Star, four time All Star. Brittany Hicks got a

131
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.680
big ovation there. Too bad she doesn't exist. The woman

132
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.560
that was shown on camera is the wife of Matt McCusker.

133
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.079
As for the quote drawing jeers from the balcony, I

134
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.560
believe this is the clip. The first word here in

135
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.879
the clip I'm gonna share is his upcut is what

136
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:24.759
we call in the industry.

137
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.120
He's talking about Joe Rogan. So if you're like, what

138
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.079
was that first word, the first word is Rogan.

139
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.360
Brogan actually wanted me to be here to host this

140
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.319
award show so that I could capture Adam Silver because

141
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.920
Joe thinks he's an alien, and Donald Trump wanted me

142
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.639
to be here to capture Juan Soto for the same reason.

143
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:44.399
It's an alien joke.

144
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:45.839
You bowed up there, dude.

145
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.240
Shut up. From pajeeba dot com, Shane Gillis bombed as

146
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.959
host of the SBS, Dustin Rolls writes, I am not

147
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.480
a fan of Shane Gillis for political reasons. His politics

148
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.480
are garbage. I don't like bro humor or racist jokes.

149
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.600
And he's an albeit somewhat still smarter than Joe Rogan.

150
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.920
But that's not why Shane Gillis is a bad comedian.

151
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.800
He's a bad comedian because he has no idea how

152
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.319
to tell a joke. Oh, you're wrong. He knows how

153
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.160
to tell a joke. He knows how to work a room.

154
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.399
His body language tells you that we're all just having

155
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.639
a good time. His body language tells you these are

156
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.680
just jokes. Lighten up. Dustin Rolls in Pajeeba, who writes

157
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.800
Gillis doesn't know how to play to a crowd unless

158
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.560
they're already on his side. He folds in front of

159
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.600
a neutral audience and flat out crumbles in front of

160
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.399
a hostile one. He lacks timing, confidence and basic delivery skills,

161
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.200
qualities that separate actual comedians from hacks yelling crappy punchlines

162
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.399
into a void. Dustin, I suggest you go and watch

163
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.679
some Johnny Carson monologues. When Johnny is quote unquote bombing,

164
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.399
those are his best performances, and I see that in sane. Yes,

165
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.840
I just compared Shane Giles to Johnny Carson. Write it down.

166
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.919
Dustin Rolls writes, that's why both of his Saturday Night

167
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.000
Live monologues bombed, and like a true hack, he blamed

168
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:56.960
the audience. I'm sure he'll do it again after face

169
00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.559
planning as host of the SP's because once again he bombed.

170
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.279
It wasn't just the material, though, yes, the material is bad.

171
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.759
The guy can't land a joke. He stutters, he second guesses,

172
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.440
he telegraphs the flop before the punchline even arrives. Say

173
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.919
what you want about Ricky Gervais and his garbage, transphobic bits.

174
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.519
At least he delivers them with the confidence of a garbage,

175
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.840
transphobic white guy. Gillis. Meanwhile, the flex blame to his

176
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.320
writers or throws up a red flag before the joke

177
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.519
with a meek You're not gonna like this one. No, Shane,

178
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.960
A room full of professional athletes probably isn't going to

179
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.679
laugh about the President deporting one of them. That's the

180
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.559
one Soto choke, one grown one boo, and his confidence shatters.

181
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.919
Michael Jay he thrives off that energy. Gill Us, he flinches.

182
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.519
Even his rare decent line he had won about his

183
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.360
Epstein joke being deleted was mangled in delivery. And when

184
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.240
a joke actually lands, like as Caitlin Clark bit the

185
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.720
one with the punchline Bunch of threes, he scolds the

186
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.840
audience for not laughing more. Now, look, I know he

187
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.000
idolizes Norm MacDonald, but aping Norm's material and rushing through

188
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.000
it like you're trying to get off stage doesn't make

189
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.720
you Norm. What are you talking about, dude? Norms deadpan, misfires,

190
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.200
classes and comedic subversion. Gillis just bombs, shrugs, and says, well,

191
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.960
I see a lot of people here don't like me,

192
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.120
and that's okay. I think this is best summed up

193
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.480
by The New York Post saw somebody in social media

194
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.080
who wrote, if you were offended by Shane Gillis's sb's monolog,

195
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.120
I can assure you that no one likes to hang

196
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:21.000
around you. Amen. All right, let me get out the

197
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.240
machete because I'm already long here. I just get two

198
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.039
good stories, all right, But I got to get to

199
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.200
Pete Davidson on gossip Corner. TMZ reports Pete Davidson and

200
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:34.600
girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are expecting their first baby together. Back

201
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.759
in March, People reported that Elsie and Pete were seen

202
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.840
on a date in Palm Beach. They were seen swimming

203
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.039
in the ocean and sharing a smooch in the water.

204
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.519
In May, a source told People Pete and Nelsie had

205
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.279
been living together in New York for the past few months.

206
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.440
They're splitting their time between Pete's house and Upstate New

207
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:52.919
York and a brownstone they recently started renting in Brooklyn.

208
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.960
They're so happy together and doing great well. We will

209
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.600
get confirmation directly from Pete Davidson. I guess he will

210
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.279
be the guest on The Tonight Show. On Tuesday, July

211
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:06.759
twenty second now, Elsie Hewitt posted on Instagram, well now

212
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.120
everybody knows we had sex and captioned a collection of

213
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:14.240
photo that included herself, Pete Davidson, and a sonogram. Pete

214
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.600
Davidson is not on social media these days. Pete is

215
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.159
out promoting his new horror film The Home, which is

216
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.879
out on July twenty fifth, So we'll be hearing a

217
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.799
lot from Pete Davidson in upcoming days. While we're on

218
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.919
Gossip Corner, Adam Sandler and famous Hollywood actress Sonny Sandler

219
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.440
were seen in Cranford, New Jersey. Apparent lay crew from

220
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.960
Happy Medicine Productions were set up in a parking lot

221
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.759
in Westfield, New Jersey, where on stage theater camp is

222
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.480
taking place, and some of the campers were excited that

223
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.279
filming was taking place in a house near their own rehearsals.

224
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.039
A nice thirteen year old young lady, her mom, and

225
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.679
some friends decided to follow the signs from base camp

226
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.080
to the set. The young lady said, we were just

227
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.200
chilling on the sidewalk with like me and ten other

228
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:56.960
people maybe, and we just kind of waited there until

229
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.879
they called for lunch. And then outside one of the houses,

230
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.679
Adam Sandler like just out and everybody started freaking out.

231
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.000
Then he came and he took someone's phone and he

232
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.879
took a group picture with all of us. Famous actress

233
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.360
Sonny Sandler, who started in you were so not invited

234
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.159
to my bot. Mitzvagh also came out and signed the

235
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.759
things for her fans, and we are now one week

236
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.000
away from Happy Gilmore too. I may have to leave

237
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.000
the country. I mean, I'm not sure I'm gonna be

238
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.080
able to put up with a week of Adam Sandler press,

239
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.320
especially if people are pretending that Adam Sandler comedies are good.

240
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.000
No word yet on Happy Gilmore two, no buzz. Meanwhile,

241
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.559
the Naked Gun people are putting everybody out there letting

242
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.039
you know that's good. I'll get into that in a

243
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.279
couple of days. But the buzz on Naked Gun is

244
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.399
really strong. The buzz on Happy Gilmore two and Adam

245
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:44.039
Sandler comedy I'm not hearing any. So Happy Gilmore Two's

246
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.720
out Friday the twenty fifth. Reports our Netflix is taking

247
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:52.600
Happy Gilmore one off Netflix on July thirty first, So

248
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.840
get your Happy Gilmore in while you still can. We're

249
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.679
another way to look at it is the universe will

250
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.480
be slightly better in August that it wasn't July. I mean, yeah,

251
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.279
I Veer does. His new special is out on Netflix today,

252
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.639
this one called Fool Volume and on substack. W Kamala

253
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.639
Bell has a substack, so do I. There's a link

254
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.720
to mine in the show notes. Actually I started a

255
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.000
second one. I haven't talked about it on here. I

256
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:18.679
started a second one called Daily Comedy News, and it's

257
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.639
basically the show notes for this show. I think if

258
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.519
you listen to me every day, honestly, you don't need

259
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.519
to subscribe to that substack. I'm doing that to try

260
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.240
and get more people in by using the substack engine

261
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.240
and embedding the show. But if you listen to me

262
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.200
every day, you really don't need to subscribe to that one.

263
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.559
But my one called media Thoughts, you may want to

264
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.720
subscribe to that anyway on substack. W kamal Bell this

265
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.480
spoke to me. I even commented that it spoke to me,

266
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.000
and I got a thumbs up from Comel Back. He

267
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.240
wrote in New York City with my fourteen year old,

268
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.200
teaching her the difference between a corner store, a convenience store,

269
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.519
a drug store, and a badega. That speaks to me. Boy,

270
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.000
we are long again. Remember those two weeks where there

271
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.799
was nothing to talk about? And this week is all

272
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.120
twenty minute episode. I already recorded Sunday Sunday Strong. Saturday

273
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.200
is going to be strong, and I can tell you

274
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.279
as we're quote unquote live here. I've bumped up couple

275
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.080
things that are going to go into Monday, so Monday

276
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.720
is going to be strong as well. As you're listening

277
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.080
on Friday. Hopefully I'm at the beach. That was the

278
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.799
plan because I can't go to the beach this weekend,

279
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.720
and the forecast was nice for today, so hopefully I'm

280
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.120
out there somewhere not recording podcast. No offense. Now I'm

281
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.639
trying to tell you what's at just for laughs tonight.

282
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.240
New owners, you got to make it easier to sort

283
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:32.120
the website by date. The only way I seem to

284
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.080
be able to do that is to go into pretending

285
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:37.200
I'm buying tickets. Okay. As I pointed out before, they're

286
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.120
doing plenty of French language shows, which I think is

287
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.559
a fantastic but as an English language podcast, I will

288
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.960
focus on the English language ones. At seven o'clock, the

289
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.960
Nightly Culture Show. Also at seven o'clock Best of the Fest,

290
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.799
eight thirty the Montreal Show hosted by Ava Alexa. Guessing

291
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.120
that is local comedians. Again, because I'm on the ticket

292
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.960
website and can't click. You guys had this, the previous

293
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.759
owners had this a little better. Not for nothing, I

294
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.720
can't even forget how to search for it. I'll assume

295
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:10.080
it's local Montreal comedians, another Montreal show at ten o'clock in,

296
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.519
another Nasty show at eleven fifty nine, and midnight Surprise

297
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.039
at eleven to fifty nine. If you were new to

298
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.840
the festival or airline industry, you don't schedule things at

299
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.879
twelve zero zero because people get confused as to what

300
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.919
that means. AMPM, Is it today? Is it tomorrow? So

301
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.080
you either do things at eleven fifty nine or twelve

302
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.639
oh one. So that's why the eleven fifty nine shows,

303
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:31.600
it's just a lot more clear. We all understand what

304
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.440
Friday means sometimes, so I go, hey, let's go on

305
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.759
Friday night and meet you at midnight. That could get wonky.

306
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.559
It's eleven fifty nine. I have looked ahead. Believe me,

307
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.519
this is really going to pick up. I was prepping

308
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.039
for next week because I may leave the country if

309
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.399
they're going to put out an Adam Sandler movie. So

310
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.360
I wanted to record some shows before I abandon y'all.

311
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:52.519
So I was looking at the schedule for next week,

312
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.639
and it's it's strong. In other news, the Daily Friday

313
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.759
podcast covers all the news you'd ever want to share

314
00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.360
in a group chat with your buddies in a funny

315
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.399
and lighthearted way, hosted by La comedian Jack Lawler, who

316
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.240
breaks down all the news from the week every Friday.

317
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.240
This is not a commercial, This is a news item.

318
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.399
So if you want to check out the Daily Friday podcast,

319
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.519
that's the thing that exists. This weekend, the Red Skelton

320
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.320
Museum of American Comedy is inviting fans to a weekend

321
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.919
full of laughter and nostalgia. It is the second annual

322
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:23.480
Red Skelton Comedy Convention in Vincenne's. This year's theme, Clem

323
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:28.320
Goes to Hooterville, celebrates rural comedy. Activities include guided bus

324
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.960
tours of Red Skelton's hometown, landmarks, film screenings, guest talks,

325
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.879
and the twentieth annual Red Skelton Shrine and Clown Parade

326
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.440
through downtown Saturday at eleven. Comedian Bob Nelson will perform

327
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:43.600
Saturday night at seven point thirty, and Pratt, who's the

328
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.080
executive director of the Red Skelton Museum, said, not as

329
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.919
many people got to see Bob Nelson last year as

330
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:49.519
I really wish could have, because he's so funny. A

331
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.159
meaning tire place was literally laughing, so our stomach's hurt.

332
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.919
He's that funny kind of reminds you of Read Skelton.

333
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.039
Any Great Comedy Outdoor Festival hits Edmonton this weekend and

334
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.200
Kinsman's Park. This year's lineup includes Martin Short, kameiln on Gianni,

335
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.599
and Fortune Fiemester No website. Edifhi Edmonton caught up with

336
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.119
park ranger Donovan, who was offering a preview of what

337
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.599
to expect. Ediphi was curious what does Donovan do as

338
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.400
the park ranger. Donovan said, I personally welcome everybody at

339
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.920
the gate. Then I go through the park before the event,

340
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.359
make sure everybody's happy and answer questions. After that, I

341
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.599
go on stage, make some jokes and do all the

342
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:26.640
housekeeping before the show starts. Then at the end of

343
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.559
the night, I pop out of the gates again and

344
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.920
I thank every single person for coming to the show

345
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:32.720
and hope to see them next year. He has a

346
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:36.759
raccoon companion named Rudy. Donovan explains, I'm a really nice guy,

347
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.880
but Rudy can say terrible, rude things. I wonder if

348
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.319
that's his name. Rudy is the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival

349
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.400
at Mascot and I'm miss Handler, so we're like Yogi

350
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.680
Bear and the park Ranger. However, Rudy doesn't come out

351
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.279
all the time because sometimes when people get a little

352
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.640
drunk they get handsy and I could take it, but

353
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.319
Rudy can't. All right, park Ranger, what was your favorite

354
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:56.400
moment from last year?

355
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:56.799
Uh?

356
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.039
Oh, he's people gonna get mad at this. His answer

357
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.240
was Shane Gill went on stage and was like, oh

358
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:03.680
my god, I don't have a belt. My pants are

359
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.079
gonna fall off. So I whipped out my belt, my

360
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.359
shorts fell to the ground, and I gave Sen Gillis

361
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.440
my belt so you could perform. At the end of

362
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:11.839
the night, he rolled it up very nicely with a

363
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.839
little note that said, thank you so much for saving

364
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.359
the day. And that is your comedy news for today.

365
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.799
Lots more tomorrow see then.
