00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.359
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mackwick, your daily comedy news.
2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.560
After three years in Las Vegas, skank Fest moving to
3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.039
New Orleans. There will be more than one hundred and
4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:22.079
fifty comedians performing on four stages, plus podcast tapings, a
5
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.280
tattoo studio, fights in a custom built boxing ring, and more,
6
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.679
all inside Marty Gras World Today through the weekend. The
7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.280
event was created in New York a decade ago by
8
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.560
the Legion of Skanks podcast Louis Gomez, Big Jay Okerson,
9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.719
and Dave Smith. This year's lineup include Shane Gillis, Doug Stanhope,
10
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.119
Rosebud Baker, Sam Tallent, Mark Norman, Sean Patten, and many more.
11
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.920
I will tell you right right there, that's a better
12
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.640
lineup than the New York Comedy Festival. Co founder and
13
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.759
organizer Rebecca Trent explains when they were in Vegas, it
14
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.359
was harder to do the boxing events because boxing is
15
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.479
controlled as a sanctioned sport. But in New Orleans, apparently
16
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.799
whatever you want to do there will be comedian jiu
17
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.960
ju to pillow fights, but slapping fights and more. It
18
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.159
is called Skangfest, So don't be like what that's outratous.
19
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.519
It's called s Gangfest. There are scheduled boxing bouts between
20
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.719
affiliated companies, interns, and a battle Royale on Sunday. Trent explains,
21
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.920
there's gonna be stun guns involved, and we have all
22
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.200
these crazy, silly fights. Now, it's kind of an interesting setup.
23
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.640
The stage will be active from noon until two am
24
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.200
every day, but they don't announce the lineup until like
25
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.920
I don't know, like day of so I can't even
26
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:33.760
tell you like, oh, go at eight o'clock and go
27
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.200
see somebody, because there's no schedule. Now, listen to this lineup.
28
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.359
I am going to read you a million names here
29
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.439
because again, uh, New York Comedy Festival. I'm not feeling
30
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.200
it this year. But listen to what Skangfest is put together. Okay,
31
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.359
I won't read every name, but i'll read you names
32
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.879
you would know. Aeron Berg, Adrian Appalucci, harryel Elias Big,

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.719
Dan Saint Germain, Dave Attel, I said Dave, and then
35
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.319
I said Attel. Right there, it's better than the New
36
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:10.319
York Comedy Festival. Doug Stanhope Eddie Peppatone, Eric Griffin, Felippia Sparza, Godfrey,
37

42
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.599
Tony Hingecliff and Yaminika Saunders. I mean that is no joke.
43
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.319
That lineup. This is really good. They have some FAQs
44
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.520
in case you're curious. Shows run from eleven a m.
45
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.479
Till this is midnight every day. Maybe it's not till
46
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.479
two am with overlapping sets, secret shows and late night Manness.
47
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:00.479
No reservations. Skang FESTUS general admission. There will be twelve
48
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.199
live stream shows available through their new live streaming partner VEEPS.
49
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.759
There's a vendor village, a hub for food, drinks, tattoos,
50
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.479
birch and partner activations. Expect everything from custom voodoo dolls
51
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.159
to late night goodies. Pretty impressive. A friend of the show,
52
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.280
Scott Beckett, He's good at sending me stories, but not
53
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.520
so good at football picks. I mean, he's okay, but
54
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.960
he's not Johnny Mick. He sent me this one about
55
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.120
Nicki Glazer. I think, is this the one you sent me, Scott?
56
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.039
I don't know. It was like two weeks ago. I
57
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.120
know he sent me something about Nicki Glazer. It's a
58
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.479
lot going on here in the basement, trust me. Anyway.
59
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.560
Niki Glazer was talking about the Amazon Alexa Plus. Nicki said,
60
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.479
Alexa Plus basically knows me better than I know myself,
61
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.039
and she has really stepped her game up. And you'll
62
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.400
see in the commercial. She even reminds me when I
63
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.159
have therapy. Do you think my therapist knows how many
64
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.159
protein bars eight per week? She probably should because it's
65
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.919
bordering on an addiction, But Alexa Plus reminds me when
66
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.240
they're running low, so she's aware of my problem and
67
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.400
she'd better not tell Donna. Well, Nicki Glazer, has your
68
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.960
Alexa ever made you laugh? Now? The interviewer messed up here.
69
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.919
They didn't play ball. They just said Alexa they're supposed
70
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.280
to say, Alexa Plus, pay attention, Nicki's hawking a product here.
71
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.960
You gotta get this right, Nicki said, Alexa Plus honestly
72
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.120
makes me laugh all the time. I don't stop talking
73
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.919
when I get off stage, so it's nice to have
74
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.680
someone listen. When I'm alone in a hotel at a
75
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.839
casino in the middle of Iowa. One of my favorite
76
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.519
things to do is to ask her to be sassy
77
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.240
that way if I'm missing my family on the road.
78
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.199
That's as close as she can come to nailing the
79
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.560
tone of my sister. All Right, Nicki Glazer, what's the weirdest,
80
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.800
most unexpected question you've ever asked? If you were Alexa Plus,
81
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.040
come on, interviewer, you're supposed to say plus, Nicki said, Okay,
82
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.920
I'm being honest. I just looked it up. What does
83
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.800
it mean when you dream that you crushed a snake's
84
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.600
head with your bare hands and you feel its skull
85
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.839
crushing and blood comes out of its ears. Alexa Plus
86
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.399
told me that this dream could mean I'm trying to
87
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.360
overcome a fear. Vulture caught up with Stavros Hawkysts, who
88
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.759
once said that he couldn't be forty and still hosting
89
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.000
his previous podcast, you know, the one with the vulgar name.
90
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.360
The second word was town. Stavros said, I'm not going
91
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.759
to sit here and tell you when we started the show,
92
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.079
we had some grand theory to be like, oh, oh,
93
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.319
we're going to get back at these people who were
94
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.120
trying to get people fired for old tweets. Now we
95
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.560
were in our mid twenties, broke. We didn't like those people,
96
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.639
and we were mean spirited comedians about a bad life.
97
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:09.199
I thought that was going to be ten episodes of
98
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.639
the show. I didn't care if we were offensive. I
99
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.360
had nothing to lose. Then, once the show started making
100
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.000
me money, I bought my family a house. I would
101
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.000
have done actually awful stuff at thirty grand I would
102
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.079
have done a minor crime for that. But I do
103
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.959
think when you see where we were at the time,
104
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.800
it was when Trump was first coming up. We weren't
105
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.120
fans of that. We did have left politics, but we
106
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.920
never really made that a focal point because I don't
107
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.800
think that's what comedians should do. But I do think
108
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.560
it's a natural thing. You get these people who don't
109
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.319
like what's going on culturally. You would train in open
110
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:33.800
mics for a decade. You also have a chip on
111
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.959
your shoulders. You put all that in a blunder, you
112
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.680
naturally get this knee jerk rebellion, which I think is important.
113
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.680
Young people should be able to make fed up jokes
114
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.600
and have it not ruined their lives and be cast
115
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.240
out for a specific thing forever. Shane gillis being the
116
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.160
obvious example, but it's a young person's game. It's kind
117
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.040
of being like, if you dad, you could argue twenty
118
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.120
eight was too late. We were just emotionally and mentally
119
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.959
stunted guys. Even if people our age keep doing that
120
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.399
style of comedy, it should exist, but it also changes
121
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.040
with the times. Honestly, I think for some twenty year
122
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.120
old the equivalent would be me making Charlie Kirk jokes
123
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.680
at this point, as it's what the dominant culture says
124
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.759
you're not allowed to do. Instead of making fun of
125
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.399
people who want to get you canceled, it would be
126
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.279
making fun of this weird culture where people are taking
127
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.800
their cues from the president, which is pathetic. That would
128
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.480
be transgressive in the way that ironic racism. Making fun
129
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.040
of I'm with Her. During Hillary's campaign was the South
130
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.279
Park creators talked to The New York Times about their
131
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.519
decision to do a lot of Trump stuff. Trey Parker said,
132
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.759
it's not that we got all political. It's that politics
133
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.199
became pop culture. I feel you hosting this podcast every day.
134
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.560
I get it. Trey said, it's like the government is
135
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.360
just in your face everywhere you look, whether it's the
136
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.439
actual government or whether it's all the podcasters and the
137
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.879
tiktoks and the youtubes and all that, and it's all
138
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.000
political and political. Because it's more than political, it's pop culture.
139
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.600
Matt Stone said the show always sought out new taboos.
140
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.519
Trey and I are like attracted to that, like flies
141
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.040
to honey. Oh that's where the taboo is over there, Okay,
142
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.720
then we're over there. Barker said, we're just very down
143
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.000
the middle guys. Any extremists of any kind we make
144
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.639
fun of. We did it for years with woke thing
145
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:58.920
that was hilarious to us, and this is hilarious to us.
146
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.000
A spoke person for the White House said this show
147
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.680
hasn't been relevant for over twenty years and is hanging
148
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.639
on by a thread with uninspired ideas. In a desperate
149
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.519
attempt for attention, President Trump has delivered on more promises
150
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.240
in just six months than any other president in our
151
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.720
country's history, and no fourth rate show can derail President
152
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.800
Trump's hot streak. South Park's twenty eighth season continues until
153
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.800
December tenth. Cracked dot com reporting that Polly Shore has
154
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.720
gotten himself banned from Kill Tony What do you do
155
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.240
to get banned from Kill Tony Well? According to various accounts,
156
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.920
Pauli Shore was so irritating that the Kill Tony Gang
157
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.240
has banned him. Paully Shore posted a video saying I
158
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.199
thought it was good, but I don't know if you
159
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.480
guys saw the episode. Tony Hinchcliff basically said I'm going
160
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.959
to kick your butt if you don't stop effing around.
161
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:48.240
Paully Krack says, Sure definitely was effing around. They encourage
162
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.480
you to check out the twenty one minute thirty second
163
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.399
mark where Tony asked Paully Shore for a stack of
164
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.120
note cards full of jokes. Sure offers up one of
165
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.519
the cards, then another, and then doesn't hand over the pile.
166
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.160
Tony said, it's not how it works, Paully. I you're
167
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:01.680
playing on doing this for the next two hours. You
168
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.480
could shove that wig in your mouth, buddy, Paullie says
169
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.319
he was just trying to be funny, but after the show,
170
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.920
he took me aside. All his security guards took me
171
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.800
aside and they asked me to never come back now.
172
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.600
Polly says Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership is off limits to
173
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.879
him on Mondays when Kill Tony tapes, but on the
174
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.519
other nights, Pauli Shore says he's allowed to play little
175
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.480
Boy the club's smaller room. Here's why. The only reason
176
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.480
I'm allowed to play the baby room is because it's
177
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.920
literally above bar Mitzi's at the Mothership. Mitzi's Bar is
178
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.000
named after Paulie Shore's mother, Mitzi Shore, who ran the
179
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.440
comedy store in LA for decades. Oh that's all kinds
180
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.679
of awkward, Pauli Shore continued, Kill Tony, if you're out there,
181
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.600
I love you. When I understand, I wouldn't put me
182
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.600
back on the show either, I affed up your whole rhythm.
183
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:45.519
It's the number one podcast in the world. You don't
184
00:08:45.559 --> 00:09:01.159
want me on there. Comedy stock Markets, thank you, Bert Reynolds,
185
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.200
and it is Comedy stock Market. So if you're new
186
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.080
to this, here's what we do. We try and make
187
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.960
hypothetical money where we buy low on people whose proferbial
188
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.159
stock is a little low, and we sell high on
189
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.759
people who are at peak value. It is not a
190
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.399
judgment whether or not someone who's good or bad. We're
191
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.759
just looking for value. Here's my recommendation on a buy
192
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.279
this week. Let's buy Pete Holmes because I think Pete's
193
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.480
been a little under the radar and people forget how
194
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.679
good Pete Holmes is on stage. And I'll talk about
195
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.159
Pete Holmes in a minute. Let's hold on Nicki Glazer.
196
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.279
I could recommend this either way. Should we buy some
197
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.279
Nicky Glazer coming off SNL and the Golden Globes is coming,
198
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.960
or should we sell Nicki Glazier because you know that
199
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.840
monologue wasn't all that great and maybe she's a good
200
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.399
roast comedian and the more we expose Niki, the less
201
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.960
heat they'll be on Nicki. Is that a possibility? I'm
202
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.320
not sure. And you're walking away in on that in
203
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.519
the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group. So we'll
204
00:09:57.559 --> 00:09:59.600
hold our Niki Glazer. We'll see how that goes. I
205
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.159
think we I've already sold our Pete Davidson. Can we
206
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.159
sell even more Pete Davison Pete's appearances. He's not helping himself.
207
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.360
None of these projects are happening. THERI odd thing didn't help.
208
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.759
Making a joke about your father dying doesn't help. None
209
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.559
of this is a good look. So if we have
210
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.879
any Pete Davidson left, let's sell it. Let's sell our
211
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.559
James Austin Johnson stock. I'm very SNL heavy this week
212
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.159
on the Seals. I just think that Trump impression is
213
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.080
spiraling down. He needs to reset it. He's basically doing
214
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.399
an impression of himself doing Trump. It's gone now. He
215
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.320
needs to start over. So we'll sell. Let's sell Cam
216
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.759
Patterson stock. If you had any, I don't get it.
217
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.919
I don't know why Lorne Michael's put him on the show.
218
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.559
We're four or five episodes in and I don't think
219
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.919
Cam's done anything other than a line here and there.
220
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.440
He's not good at it. Sell Cam Patterson, Let's buy
221
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.320
some Keenan Thompson. If you watch SNL every week, he's
222
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.480
the glue. He is holding that show together this season.
223
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.240
I mean, Bowen Yang is a star, Sarah Sherman is
224
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.879
a star, but it's Keenan Thompson who's just reliable in
225
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.759
sketches and you can always throw him out there and
226
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.519
he's going to deliver. So let's buy some Keenan Thompson
227
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.240
all right? At the New York Comedy Festival tonight, Pete Holmes,
228
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.879
go see Beat Holmes the next chance you get. Perhaps
229
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.600
tonight at town Hall. He is fantastic. Now the New
230
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.639
York Comedy Festival, you've heard me and go on and
231
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.799
on about how the lineup is unimpressive. We do have
232
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.559
some names. Tonight boy Todd Glass again, is there like
233
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.159
some crazy demand for Todd Glass that he's playing every
234
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.960
night of the New York Comedy Festival? Like, what is
235
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.879
that about? I'm doing this podcast for years and years
236
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:34.720
and worked at Serious for a decade before that. His
237
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.519
name never comes up, and he's every night at the
238
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.519
New York Comedy Festival. What's going on seven thirty at
239
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.480
the Beacon Theater back from the ri Odd Comedy Festival.
240
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.200
It's the not so canceled Louis ck. I don't think
241
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.240
Louis c. K is as welcome back as some articles
242
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.480
would make you believe. Does he have his audience? Can
243
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.440
he make money? Can he sell out Madison Square Garden? Yes?
