Callaroga Shock Media.
2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:12.640
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy News, a daily
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.199
briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry.
4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.800
I'll do the political stuff in the second half Today
5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.199
many things can be true at once. That stuff is
6
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.960
both super important, but I also understand what this podcast
7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.160
is and isn't, and it's not a political podcast. I
8
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.480
always trying to do the politics through the lens of comedy.
9
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.039
So let's do the fun stuff. In the first half,
10
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.920
Shane Gillis was out snowboarding over the weekend. Like a
11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.159
lot of the country, we had that winter storm at
12
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.960
Central Park in New York City got eleven inches of snow.
13
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.799
Which I grew up in New York. I went from
14
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.399
kindergarten through college and had one snow day my entire
15
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.520
career in New York City. There was one snow day.
16
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.359
There was a blizzard I think in like nineteen eighty
17
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.359
one or so, and I had one two hour delay
18
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.679
in high school and that was it. So eleven inches
19
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.880
of snow New York City is a lot. So Shane
20
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.079
Gillis hit Central Park and was joined by snowboarding icon
21
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.200
Shawn White, now luckily a bunch of people with cameras
22
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.799
just happened to be there. I mean, it is New
23
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.319
York City, but oh, total tangent. But to the point,
24
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.400
I'm a Youtubo fan. Do you remember at one point
25
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.239
Bono was supposedly in a bike accident in Central Park
26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.079
and then he missed some shows And there was even
27
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.280
like an Apple event that Bruce Springsteen had a fill
28
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.799
in as the singer for you too. This is all
29
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.040
things that happened. You could look it up, but I
30
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.040
want to digress too long. You mean to tell me
31
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.200
Bono had a bike accident in New York City and
32
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.280
nobody filmed it. Nobody saw the ambulances coming, Nobody was like, hey,
33
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.760
that's Bono. Zero chance that that story's true. I don't
34
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.000
believe it, because even if you're Shane Gillis and you're
35
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.359
snowboarding with Sewn White, people film it. As the story goes,
36
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.280
at one point in the day, Shawn White decided to
37
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.560
perform a daredevil stunt and involves Shane Gillis and tires
38
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.920
co star Chris O'Connor. Shane and Chris sat in front
39
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.439
of a freshly constructed jump Shawn White caught some are
40
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.959
and jumped over their heads. Now Yahoo has to calm
41
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.359
down with this headline Olympic legend fine Shawn White jumps
42
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.439
over too Famous comedians in Central Park, one of which
43
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.560
was Shane Gillis, who's kind of famous. Chris O'Connor, I
44
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.080
don't know about that famous. John Mullaney was on Mike
45
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.319
Berbiglia's podcast and got some headlines sharing that he is
46
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.159
supporting a lot of Olivia Munn's family members. Oliney told
47
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.520
b Biggs she's Vietnamese and she has a large Vietnamese
48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.280
family in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of which I am one
49
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.560
of the significant financial contributors. For the first thirty nine
50
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.199
years of my life, I supported zero Vietnamese people, probably none,
51
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.039
and now I have ten on the books. With parents
52
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:33.919
of some success, you don't really do anything for them,
53
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.560
and it brings me great joy to help out, to
54
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.680
help and do fun things for Olivia's family. Joked, are
55
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.719
you thinking when you're having a nice relationship with them
56
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.039
that in the back of their mind they're thinking, I
57
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.400
wonder if he'll send me a thousand dollars. That's hilarious.
58
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.360
Olney said, there's no wonder in the back of the mind.
59
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.719
You mean, the front of the voice, the front of
60
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.360
the voice. The words coming out of their mouth for
61
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.599
bigs was like Olivia's family says, how much money do
62
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.560
you have? I actually like that. M'laney said, yeah, I
63
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.599
tell them. They love it. They couldn't like it more.
64
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.120
Bert Kreischer revealed that he's taking a break from drinking,
65
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.840
and it sounds like it's a little serious here. He
66
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.800
is on we might be drunk with Mark Norman and
67
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.360
Sam Morrel.
68
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.199
We need a drink, let's have it, can't I can't drink.
69
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.639
We'll drink medication. Yeah, blood clots? What Oh my legs?
70
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.840
Yeah, all right, so we won't drink it.
71
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.840
No, no, no, drink you know I never cared about that. Yeah, bad,
72
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.240
you are right? And my lungs? Yeah yeah, blood clots guys, guys,
73
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.520
I'm saving it for Rogan.
74
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.919
So is that from drinking or no, it's from passing out.
75
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:29.240
On a plane.
76
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.360
Seems people really liked Free Bert. Flicks patrols that it
77
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.240
was the sixth most watched TV show on Netflix worldwide.
78
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.960
Free Bert is trending in thirty nine countries. It's not
79
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.000
the most watched show in any of the countries, but
80
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.120
it ranked as high as number two in Australia, In Canada,
81
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.120
South Africa, and the United States, it ranked number three.
82
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.800
TV Insider asked Bert, now the show's out, has it feel?
83
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.080
Bert said, nerve wracking. It gets sex from higher ups
84
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.719
at Netflix and they're so excited. They said it was
85
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.240
such a great show and they're excited for people to
86
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.039
see it. I just wrote back, it's very different from
87
00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:59.680
a stand up special. You know, with a stand up special,
88
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.639
little form well, because you've done the material, you know
89
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.039
the material works and you'll be proud of the material forever.
90
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.080
With a TV show, you get a four wing swing
91
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.360
at it and then you're in the edit bay and
92
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.680
you hope people like it. I'm just hoping new fans
93
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.719
find it and identify with it. I've gotten a really
94
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.560
good response from the show so far that I didn't
95
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.800
really expect. Gil King loved it, which I did not
96
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.120
see coming. Drew Barrymore loved it, which I did not
97
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.319
see coming. Do you hear Bert Kreischer going mainstream doing
98
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.480
Drew and Gil King? It is cash in time because
99
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.079
the edge is off. Bert says, that's the type of
100
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.120
fans of trying to reach out to all right, We're
101
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.720
a line there Bert fans who are unfamiliar with my fans,
102
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.000
maybe you know me as the guy who takes a
103
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.639
shirt off. Then they say this and they can see
104
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.639
themselves in me. Chris Spencer is getting a special on Hulu.
105
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.160
It's called Goat Adjacent. It'll be on Hulu February fourth.
106
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.160
Tape that the Cicada in Downtown La Chris Spencer touches
107
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.600
on everything from marriage and family to aging, race and
108
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.839
his Jamaican roots. Jim Brewer is one of the panelists
109
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.240
on Kill Tony this week. I saw a lot of
110
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.879
people saying it was a pretty good episode and they
111
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.800
were impressed by Brewer rolling with it, So I'll be
112
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.519
curious to check that one out. Pete Davidson is apparently
113
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.600
filmed an ad for Sonic. It is assumed that will
114
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.759
appear during the Super Bowl, but there are pictures of
115
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.560
Pete clearly in front of a Sonic holding a Sonic
116
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.319
burger or something. Jimmy Carr has blasted Brooklyn Beckham. Have
117
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.480
you seen this? The Beckham family is all fighting. Jimmy
118
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.120
Carr called Brooklyn Beckham an entitled Neppo baby in case
119
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.759
you missed it, on January nineteenth, Brooklyn Beckham posted a
120
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.319
lengthy statement on Instagram where he announced he has no
121
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.319
wish to reconcile with his family, including David Beckham and
122
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.600
Victoria Beckham, and he's standing up for himself for the
123
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.240
first time in his life. Jimmy Carr said, he claims
124
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.120
he's not just a nepo baby, He's a chef. I
125
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.160
think he's so entitled. He's mixed up being a chef
126
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.480
with making his own dinner. He probably brushes his teeth
127
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.959
and thinks I'm actually an e fing brilliant dentist. And
128
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.040
guess who's back in the news. That guy Jay Leno.
129
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.959
He's the worst. Remember last year he waited on late
130
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.079
night comedy and the guy's always taken care of his
131
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.199
ill wife. This guy, I can't believe this guy. He
132
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.079
spoke to the Springfield News son and he said, Nicki
133
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.639
Glazer's great because here's the thing. Your stage act is
134
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.160
so fil healthy, but it's funny in comedy. The one
135
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.560
exception is that everything's okay as long as it's funny.
136
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.079
When you see her do the Golden Globe, she really
137
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.800
works on her set. She'll go to five night clubs
138
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.480
a night just to try the five minutes and keep
139
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.600
taking words out to make it tighter and tighter. She's
140
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.399
a real pro, and I really admire her. She's a
141
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.319
professional comedian and she gages from materials to the audience.
142
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.800
And that's what I try to do. Yeah, I bet
143
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.240
you do. Jay the worst person who ever lived, went
144
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.959
on to say, I mean, your job as a comedians
145
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.839
tell a joke. It's nice to be socially aware and
146
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.240
be conscious and do all that kind of stuff. I
147
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.759
tried to do that in my private life, but to
148
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.680
bring it to an audience, it's not what they're there for.
149
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.879
You went to Roddy Daves Sheffield because he had jokes.
150
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.600
He just made you laugh, just stupid, silly, you know.
151
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.839
And that's what we try to do here. Jay says
152
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.639
he tries to have a joke every six to nine
153
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.600
seconds because the audience must be engaged. And that's the
154
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.160
old Bob Hope rule. If you tell six jokes a minute,
155
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.399
one of them might land. Jay said, I don't use
156
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.279
obscenities in my act now because I'm offended by it.
157
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.399
I'm just bored by it. I find it really lazy,
158
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.399
you know. And then when I say that, I'm the
159
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.600
old guy complaining about the new comic. Plus, for the
160
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.759
comedy to really work, there's to be a certain structure.
161
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.240
I thought this was interesting. Jay said he rarely writes
162
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.439
any of his jokes down because he's dyslexic. He tries
163
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.920
to keep all of jokes in his head, but he
164
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.279
says he's got to notch in his brain for things
165
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.040
that are funny, and he tends to forget things that
166
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.120
aren't funny. Really interesting here, Jay Leno said, it makes
167
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.800
a footnote in your brain and you just remember to
168
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.360
try and say it again somewhere. It doesn't always work,
169
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.199
but for the most part it does. When bad things
170
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.879
happen to me, I seem to forget him. I know
171
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.800
my parents passed away. I love my parents very much,
172
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.399
but I still can't tell you what day they did
173
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.680
because I don't want to remember that. With other things
174
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.319
that get to laugh of stories that get a reaction,
175
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.759
I remember them like they happened yesterday. Did you vote
176
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.959
yet for Comedy Survivor Week four? I was checking out
177
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.000
the Facebook group. Everybody was super active, lot of votes
178
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.120
going on. There's some early momentum against Tignataro, but then
179
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.879
some people are hanging back to see which way the
180
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.639
wind is blowing and how they want to weigh in
181
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.759
on that. I thought that was interesting to hang back
182
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.000
until later in the week's strategy. Very interesting. And there's
183
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.439
also some people like Ron White, and I think there
184
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.759
was a Jim Gaffigan vote. Some people who hadn't gotten
185
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.839
votes before are now getting votes. So Comedy Survivor is
186
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.600
heating up. So what do you do? You go to
187
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.319
the face book group, Daily Comedy News podcast group. You
188
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.319
write down the name of the person you want off.
189
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.160
Voting ends end of day on Thursday. A couple quick
190
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:12.439
notes on Late Night Colbert during his taping with Seth Myers,
191
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.879
revealed that the series finale of The Late Show with
192
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.720
Stephen Colbert will air Thursday, May twenty. First, I know
193
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.560
somebody who wants to travel that week. That's going to
194
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.879
be a little annoying. We'll figure it out. The rest
195
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.680
of today's program will be quite serious, and I personally
196
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.600
believe if you do have a forum, even if it's
197
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.320
this one, you should use it as expected. Late Night
198
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.080
did comment on the killing of Alex Pretty Jimmy Kimmel,
199
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.799
I find very powerful here in this clip. I'm about
200
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.120
to play. It's a long clip, but I think Jimmy
201
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.799
Kimmel did a great job here.
202
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:43.360
Now.
203
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.519
I spent the weekend, like probably a lot of you did,
204
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.399
looking at my phone and just feeling shocked and sick
205
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.519
about what is happening in Minneapolis. These one video after another,
206
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.519
screaming people being torn from their families, Americans, people who
207
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.720
were born in the United States being pulled out of
208
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.399
their cars for the crime of having an accent or whatever. Children,
209
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:08.039
small children, babies being tear gassed, taken into custody, separated
210
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.639
from their parents, just one atrocity after another being committed
211
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.679
by this gang of poorly trained, shamefully led, mask wearing goons.
212
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:17.639
And that is what they are.
213
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:22.320
They're goons committing vile, heartless and even criminal acts. And
214
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.360
it's sickening to watch, and it's frustrating to watch. It's
215
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.399
like we're all being forced to play a game that
216
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.039
has no rules. They just make up the rules as
217
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.120
they go along. We see these videos in which we
218
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.720
clearly see one of our fellow Americans executed by ice,
219
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.639
and they won't even admit that it was a mistake.
220
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.519
They I mean, they say that the Honda SUV Renee
221
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.159
Good was driving, was weaponized. They say the gun Alex
222
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.879
Pretty had a license to carry in an open carry
223
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.399
state or right. Many of these same people screamed very
224
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.440
loudly about when it was Kyle Rittenhouse carrying the gun,
225
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.039
a gun that Alex Pretty did not even draw, did
226
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.679
not touch, a gun that was taken from him by
227
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.960
one of the agents before was shot dead by the
228
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.240
other ones. They fired ten times on an ICU nurse.
229
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.480
They're telling us, well, I was justified. You know, is
230
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.639
that the law and order that you voted for, if
231
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:11.759
you voted for this.
232
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.639
Every day is a nightmare now.
233
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.799
My wife and I have family in Minneapolis are afraid
234
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.679
to take their kids to school, They're afraid to go
235
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.919
to work, and I can only imagine how people aren't
236
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.159
white feel about this. How does this end? What's the plan?
237
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:25.480
Here?
238
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.159
Is the plan to just keep doing this in every
239
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.480
city that didn't vote for Donald Trump?
