1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.400
Callarogas Shock Media. Hello, my name is John McDermott, and

2
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.000
let's pick up where we left off on yesterday's Daily

3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.519
Comedy News. Rob Mack wants us to call him Rob Mack.

4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.679
Happy to do it, Bro, I still don't get it.

5
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.640
But Rob Mack himself released a video explaining the decision

6
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.559
to go by Rob Mack. I'll play the whole thing here.

7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.839
There is a couple points where it's a little bit visual,

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.600
but when you're like, what's going on, he has on

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.439
the video he's showing an alternate spelling of his name.

10
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.200
Here is Rob Mack.

11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.799
Hai. Okay, I'm going to dedicate exactly one minute to

12
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.640
start the car. Yes, I'm shortening my name to Rob

13
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.679
Matt mostly a stage named by I digress is a

14
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.799
kind of doucheet. But the amount of time that I

15
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.719
have wasted trying to give people to either say or

16
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.920
spell my name correctly is literally days of my life,

17
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.320
trust me. I added it on. More importantly, it means

18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.759
thousands of you have had minutes of your lives stolen

19
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.079
buying me because of my last name, including so it's

20
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.200
a family name, my grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins,

21
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.040
and I all share it, and I love them and

22
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.879
I want to stay connected their heritage. Except it's not

23
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.920
even really our tame. Not only have many generations changed

24
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.760
its spelling, the current one was just given to my

25
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.079
ancestor by a government official who decided that this was

26
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.840
now the spell. Quick example my great great grandmother.

27
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.959
Oh that's different. All good.

28
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.400
It was a crazy time, but times have changed, and

29
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.079
most people already call me Rob Mac anyway. My family

30
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.079
knows me and loves me, regardless of family syllables I have,

31
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.120
and that's the only thing that I really care about.

32
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.920
There are so many things going on in the world

33
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.640
and this is a silly one to continue to waste

34
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.519
your time for it. Honestly, call me whatever you want, Marion, Jerome,

35
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.319
archfall Here, Maurice, Stephanie, Francis, Marvin Gordon, or say, but

36
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.319
maybe we just keep it, sup one try I Rob back,

37
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:44.560
Let's see how it goes.

38
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.000
Good news, Shane Gillis Tires renewed for season three. That's fantastic.

39
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.519
I was worried that Netflix was going to netflix this

40
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.280
thing and not bring it back, but it is great.

41
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.959
You'll hear me talk about it in tomorrow's episode, which

42
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.280
is the top of funny things of the year so

43
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.400
far that I've actually seen, and Tires is way up

44
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.719
the list. I think Tires at times is like The

45
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.959
Office at its best. I know what I just said

46
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.639
out loud, but that's how I feel. Season three of

47
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.280
Tires will come out in twenty twenty six. Part of

48
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.120
the original Tires deal, the one that cradd season two,

49
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.039
included Shane getting another stand up special for Netflix. Looking

50
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.319
forward to that one. His first Beautiful Dogs in twenty

51
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.840
twenty three spent two weeks on the US Top ten

52
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.599
list on Netflix. All Right, this next story is a

53
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.520
little zorik from Pete Davidson. I read this whole thing

54
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.360
and I just came away feeling weird. So there's Pete Davidson.

55
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.120
He's at the Prudential Center in Newark last weekend with

56
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.919
John Stewart and John Mulaney. They're doing a show, and

57
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.680
according to the Post, Pete started talking about his maternal grandfather,

58
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.280
sharing with the crowd that the grandfather got the lung

59
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.000
cancer and I'm not close with him. I'll quote Pete

60
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.159
here via The New York Post. I'm close with my

61
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.080
dad's dad. I don't like my mom's dad. He used

62
00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:59.680
to beat the s out of me, and I don't

63
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.199
like him very much. He's old school. He's very Irish.

64
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.080
You know those old Irish Jews that are so Irish,

65
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.759
they're like pink. Right now, I'm reading this very seriously.

66
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.879
For all I know, Pete was, you know, being very

67
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.039
joky about this. But all I can react to is

68
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.759
the text version, because I wasn't there, and I just

69
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.000
come away going like ooh, continuing to read Pete via

70
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.479
The New York Post. His veneers are somehow brown. He's

71
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.680
just an old school dude, and he's dying. I want

72
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.439
to be there for my mom. She's sad about it.

73
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.120
I don't want to be rude to my mom. I

74
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.879
think I have the best mom in the world. I'm very,

75
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.240
very lucky. So I've been trying to remember a good

76
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:32.800
time that me and my grandpa had so I could

77
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.199
hold onto it. Pete did recall a few positive experiences

78
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.840
with that grandpa, including, according to the Post, an inside

79
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.000
joke about an internet personality known as cake fart Girl.

80
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.879
Back in April, Pete had told People Magazine, I had

81
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.719
a really crappy childhood and the worst thing that ever

82
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.280
could have happened to me. Happened to me when I

83
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.960
was seven. Referring to his father dying on nine to eleven,

84
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.000
Pete explained that has altered his mindset over the years.

85
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.520
I've kind of been like, ef it, who the f cares?

86
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.120
You know? And like if everyone at the end of

87
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.479
the day, it's like family matters, and you're two or

88
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.280
three friends that you have matter. Everybody else can go

89
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:04.759
f themselves and you don't have to put all this

90
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.879
pressure on yourself. This is sort of newer for me,

91
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.039
but it kind of shows if you see me now,

92
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.159
it's a little different because I went through something pretty tough.

93
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.560
I just think who cares what? People you don't even know?

94
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.879
Think like, who the f cares? You don't know them.

95
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.800
Pete had told The Real Ones podcast, my dad said

96
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.079
he was going to pick me up from school on

97
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:21.759
nine to eleven. I got picked up by my mom.

98
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.160
She didn't tell me what was going on for like

99
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.120
three days. She kept telling me Dad's at work, he's

100
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.680
coming home whatever. I had no idea, And one night

101
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.079
I turned on the TV and I just saw my

102
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.399
dad on the TV. I was like, oh, okay, and

103
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.079
they were like, these are all the firemen that are

104
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.800
like dead. It was weird because we didn't know he

105
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.759
was dead for like three weeks. They were finding people,

106
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.279
you know, they were pulling people out of stuff, and

107
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.759
there was just sort of hope. Like it was just

108
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.519
up and down and nobody knew how to deal with it.

109
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.319
You know, Dad said he's coming home to pick you up,

110
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.040
but he doesn't for life. I'm like, I don't believe anyone.

111
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.160
I'm trying to learn how to believe people. In Hollywood

112
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.120
isn't exactly the greatest place to learn that skill. My

113
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.040
mom was like thirty, I'm about to be. I wouldn't

114
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.319
know what they have to do. And that's why as

115
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.160
they get older, I'm like, my mom was awesome. She

116
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.680
really loves me to unpack there. I mean, you get

117
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.720
it right. You know, Dad says I'll pick you up

118
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:06.639
after school, and then you don't know what's going on.

119
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:08.920
If you were in New York City or the area

120
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.319
around nine to eleven, you just remember that whole time.

121
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.319
I remember, as I was reading the story, you would

122
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.040
see on the news. Hospitals had all this staging area

123
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.759
waiting for the mass casualties to come in, and none did.

124
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.600
I was working at WR Radio at the time, and

125
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.160
one of our reporters had gone down to the World

126
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.120
Trade Center. We hadn't heard from her for hours and hours,

127
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.600
and I happened to be in the hallway when she

128
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.839
returned back to work many hours later, and I gave

129
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.560
her a hug, and she looked like I was being inappropriate,

130
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.160
wanted to send me to HR, and I was like,

131
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.800
I'm sorry, I thought you were dead. Very powerful day

132
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.560
and honestly not making for a great comedy podcast here.

133
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.959
So let's switch topics. Bill Burr is developing a half

134
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.680
hour comedy at Fox based on the life of Earthquake,

135
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.360
the comedian Earthquake real name Nathaniel Strouman. The half hour

136
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.800
comedy at FA based on the life of comedian Earthquake

137
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:07.279
will be called Earthquake, Little Kurf fluffel Over. At south Park,

138
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.240
the season twenty seven premiere on Comedy Central was originally

139
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.480
slated for July ninth. It's being moved to July twenty third.

140
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.120
The delay comes back to south Park's streaming rights. There's

141
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.000
some uncertainty over Skydance's acquisition of Comedy Central's parent Paramount Global,

142
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.160
which co owns the joint venture between south Park, south

143
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.160
Park Digital Studios and Trey and Matt. Trey Parker and

144
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.360
Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, posted on social media,

145
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.079
this merger is a stuff show and it's effing with

146
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.319
up South Park. I'm not already grammar there, but we'll

147
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.079
move on. We're at the studio now working on new

148
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.240
episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow. Apparently,

149
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.360
the show had an exclusive streaming licensing deal with HBO

150
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.360
Max worth five hundred million dollars that expired a week

151
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.720
ago and has not been replaced by a new exclusive

152
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.720
one where multiple non exclusive ones. Paramount Global wants to

153
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.759
be able to stream the show on Paramount Plus. That

154
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.360
makes sense. Daven told investors on their earnings call that

155
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.360
starting this July, South Park will becoming a Paramount Plus

156
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.240
in the US. Meanwhile, the South Park streaming rights have

157
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.879
been streamed to other platforms. The Hollywood Reporter has told

158
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.959
about a letter in which Parker and Stone threatened legal

159
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.959
action over what that document claims, including an attempt to

160
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.800
get WBD, Warner Brothers Discovery to agree to a shorter

161
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.959
five year term deal and to take new seasons of

162
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.600
South Park after They've had a twelve month exclusive window

163
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.600
on Paramount Plus. Boy, there is a lot going on here.

164
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.759
Many fans had expected the show to launch on Paramount

165
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.560
Plus on July first. That did not happen. It is

166
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.480
the third of July. And this has nothing to do

167
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.319
with comedy. When I was a kid, I would go

168
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.639
with my parents to Belmont Racetrack and go see the horses,

169
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.240
and there was a horse named third of July, and

170
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.519
that name always stuck with me, and I always think

171
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.399
of that horse on this day. My father put in

172
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.480
like a one dollar bet for me on third of July.

173
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.759
It was like my favorite horse ever, and I just

174
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:06.800
felt like mentioning it today. Now the horse would have

175
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.160
to be fifty years old, and I don't think horses

176
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.959
live that long. But third of July the horse, I'm

177
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.040
thinking of you. On Netflix, they're going to screen a

178
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.839
bunch of classic comedies already up on Netflix, Anchorman and Anchorman,

179
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.399
Two Blades of Glory, Cone Heads. I forgot that was

180
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:27.079
actually a movie, Good Burger, Grown Ups, Happy Gilmore, which

181
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.519
makes sense with Happy Gilmore to coming out later this month.

182
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.639
Animal House a friend of mine, where we were we

183
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.879
the other day. I feel like alcohol is involved. But

184
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.279
we just started quoting Animal House. I forget where we were,

185
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.440
but I blurted out, wait till ODIs sees us, he

186
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.480
loves us Night The Roxbury Old School, The Other Guys,

187
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:51.840
road Trip, Tommy Boy, Wayne's World, Wayne's World two, Zoolander

188
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.799
starting July eleventh, Threading in Caddie Shack, Groundhog Day, Mean Girls.

189
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.799
There's something about Mary. They came together trading places starting

190
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.240
on the eighteenth City Slickers Clue coming to America. So

191
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.960
I married an axe murderer. Stripes. I haven't seen stripes

192
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.639
in a while. I should rewatch that super bad Tommy Boy,

193
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.000
Waiting for Guffman, and one of the few rare good

194
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:17.200
Adam Sandlor movies, The Wedding Singer. As listeners to this program,

195
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.639
there are what five good Adam Sandler movies. They are

196
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.879
uncut Gems, Basketball one, Space Alien one and two with

197
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.960
Drew Barrymore, including The Wedding Singer and fifty First Dates.

198
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.919
Not on the list not good movies blended storing Adam

199
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.200
Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and isn't it romantic? Storing Adam

200
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.679
Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Those are not good movies. There

201
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.360
are only five good Adam Saanlor movies, and I just

202
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.639
told you what they are. That is your comedy news

203
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.600
for today. Yeah, it's starting to slow up in two

204
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.279
July fourth weekends, and tomorrow I will take a look

205
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.559
at the best stand up specials of twenty twenty five

206
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.240
so far that I have seen. Then I'm holding on

207
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.600
to some news for Monday, so I have Monday's podcast.

208
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.000
As for what I'm doing Saturday and Sunday, that's a

209
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.360
great question, my friend. I love the show and you'll

210
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.679
find out when I figure it out. See you tomorrow.
