1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.640
Kalaroga Shark Media. Did April not
just start? How is it the twenty

2
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.560
second? Already? It's almost Mayhei
am Johnny Meck with your daily comedy news.

3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:20.359
Dave Chappelle has been added to the
Abu Dhabi Comedy Week. It'll be

4
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.239
at the Eddie Hot Arena May twenty
third if you want to attend. It's

5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.559
his first show in the Capitol,
although he has previously played Dubai. Back

6
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.439
in twenty eighteen, after he played
Dubai, the local paper wrote, well

7
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:38.039
tested material is presented as first time
observations as Chappelle languidly guided us into the

8
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.799
issues that both amuse and concern him. But behind that casual banter is a

9
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.479
supreme technician, a confident comic,
knowing when to cut through the laughs with

10
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.719
sharp observations and when to provide levity
with some good old fashioned toilet humor.

11
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.320
Now, Abu Dhabi Comedy Week is
no joke. Listen to who else is

12
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.359
playing? Chris Tucker May twenty fifth, Andrew Schultz on the twenty second,

13
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.079
The not so canceled Aziz I'm Sorry
on the eighteenth, Andrew Santino and Bobby

14
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.120
Lee joint show on the twenty first, boss Im Yusef and Mas Grabroni a

15
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.879
joint show on the twenty fourth,
Tom Sagora on the twenty fifth, and

16
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.319
on May twenty sixth. It's Joe
Coy. You know Joe Coy. He

17
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:18.640
one time he hosted the Golden Globes. Meanwhile, the Legion of Icee,

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:19.799
I didn't do it. I didn't
do it. You thought I was gonna

19
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:25.239
do it. The Legion of skanks
Festival also know Joe. This one will

20
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.959
be September twenty seventh to the twenty
ninth in Vegas. But listen to this

21
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.640
lineup the eighth annual skank Fest headliners
Big Jay Okerson, Lewis, j Gomez,

22
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.879
Dave Smith, Our Shafer, Shane
Gillis, Tim Dillon, David Tell,

23
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.959
Tony Hinchcliff Mark normand But the lineup
includes so many people that I won't

24
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.840
be able to read them all.
I'll read some Aaron Berg, Adrian Apple,

25
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:53.040
Lucci that's stealing, Bonnie McFarlane,
Brian Redband, Chris Gettin, Craig

26
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.319
Gas, Dan Cummins, Dan Soder, Dan Saint Germain, Dina Hashim.

27
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.200
Again, I'm not reading. I'm
reading about a third of the name here,

28
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.599
Eddie Peppatone, Eric Griffin, Ester
Steinberg, haven't heard her name in

29
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.960
a while. She's good. Jermaine
Fowler, Jim Norton didn't make the headliner

30
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.400
list, Joe DeRosa, Joe List, Keith Robinson, Kurt Metzger Morgan Murphy,

31
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:20.080
Nick Vaderotz a very underrated comic,
Rachel Feinstein, Rich Voss, Bobby

32
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.159
Kelly, sam j Sean Patten,
Steve ran As, Ezy TJ. Miller,

33
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.800
Johannest Pappas, Yamanika Saunders. I
mean, come on huge. Also

34
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.960
out of New Orleans, mL Willman
will headline the third annual LGBT l O

35
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.159
L Queer Comedy Fest. I like
that LGBT L O L. I am

36
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.840
scanning the names here to see.
You know, unless you're like super into

37
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.479
comedy, I don't think you would
recognize any of these names. But it

38
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.240
looks like about twenty comedians here.
That's good. Brad Williams says NBA star

39
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.439
Blake Griffin could easily go from the
NBA to Jokes now that Brallike Griffin has

40
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.800
retired. Brad Williams told TMZ Sports
he saw Blake if and do comedy in

41
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.639
Montreal and he's good, and I
hate that because you can't be good at

42
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.759
everything. Williams says, Blake's got
great material to work with. Two.

43
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.680
He was a former NBA obviously,
and also an ex of a Kardashian.

44
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.639
The Stranger spoke to Logan Gunselman.
I liked it. They're set up here.

45
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.919
This is what caught my attention.
Logan Gunselman is the anti Jim Carrey,

46
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.199
the polar opposite of Robin Williams.
She does not manically gesticulate, does

47
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.479
not contort her face, and she
eschewes impressions. Rather, she delivers jokes,

48
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.280
sometimes quite dirty jokes, and a
deep voice, a deadpan, and

49
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.599
a poker face. They asked Logan
about it, and she said, honestly,

50
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.680
I didn't know was deadpan. For
a very long time. I thought

51
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.719
I was performing like most stand ups, using inflection and changing my tone of

52
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.319
voice. But I kept getting compliments
on my deadpan style of delivery. At

53
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.280
first, I was frustrated because it
wasn't on purpose. I'm just kind of

54
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.159
a monotone woman. But the longer
I've done stand up, the more I've

55
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.719
come to appreciate it. Logan says, I rarely talk about current events or

56
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.599
politics, not because I think they're
taboo. I'm just dumb. I'm impressed

57
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.240
by stand up seeing craft good jokes
about the news, but that's not how

58
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.560
my brain works. I don't think
any subject is taboo as long as the

59
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.400
joke is really incredible. Most comedians
who get in trouble for the problematic jokes

60
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.120
aren't in trouble because they made a
joke. They're in trouble because the joke

61
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.800
they made isn't funny. So audiences
are only focusing on the offensive parts of

62
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.600
what they've heard. People will forgive
a lot if it's a truly excellent bit.

63
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:18.759
You know. That makes me think
of Jimmy Carr again. Some people

64
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.199
don't seem to get what Jimmy Carr
does. They asked her what comedian has

65
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.720
been the most inspirational and influential for
you now? Given the delivery, I

66
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.360
would think, I don't know,
Stephen Wright or Mitch Heinberg, perhaps Dmitri

67
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.079
Martin. Logan said, I know
he's huge now, but I've always loved

68
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.959
Nate Berghatzy because he's also a deadpan, lower energy comedian. Yeah, I

69
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.680
guess he is. I love a
bunch of comedians who are very different from

70
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.639
me, but I'm always impressed by
how good they are. Kyle Kanaan,

71
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.519
Lisa Trigger, Chris Estrada, Dave
Waite, Chris Fairbanks, and honestly Kat

72
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:55.120
Williams. Good article on Vulture about
how long jokes are good, Jesse david

73
00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:00.240
Fox specifically called out the Kyle Kanaan
fifteen minutes about FA and the Furious Movies

74
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.160
that I think is an all timer, Jesse writes kylek When a brief lull

75
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.360
sets in at the Minneapolis Acme Comedy
Club, the raucous laughter, the crowds

76
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:13.040
reaction of the f seven bid has
gradually subsided, giving Kanain a moment to

77
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.199
take a beat before saying, I'm
just here to tell you one story.

78
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.160
At this point, twenty five minutes
have passed in Dirt Nap. The setup

79
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.600
is humble. Canaan, ever,
Midwestern is a humble guy making one of

80
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:34.759
the most ridiculous under cells and stand
up history Gossip Corner and on Gossip Corner,

81
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.120
Pete Davidson and girlfriend Madeline Kleine are
very much in love, says US

82
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:46.560
Magazine. A source tells US Weekly
one of the reasons their relationship works so

83
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.120
well is because they're both independent and
give each other space to miss each other.

84
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.680
Hopefully Pete can patch things up with
Colin. Jose told you that the

85
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.000
other day that Colin and Peter having
a faery fight of some sorts. Apparently,

86
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.959
Peacock is staging the world's first wildlife
reality competition show. Why are they

87
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.600
making The Hungry Games Alaska's Big Bear
Challenge? I don't know why am I

88
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.680
telling you about it? It's narrated
by Reese Darby from Flight of the Concords.

89
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.600
Do you hear the rumble coming into
my voice? That's because I recorded

90
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.800
Saturday, Sunday, Monday back to
back to back without any beverage. Here,

91
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.959
got a little DJ fuzz on the
voice now. The Hungry Games Alaska's

92
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:28.439
Big Bear Challenge follows the bears of
Alaska's Katami National Park as they book up

93
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.199
for winter hibernation. Over one hundred
and fifty days, the bears battle the

94
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.839
elements and each other, using brains
and brawn to consume three million calories and

95
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:41.040
gain up to two hundred pounds in
nature's real life survival show. Unbeknownst to

96
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.279
the bears, their progress is being
tracked and ranked for TV audience with a

97
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.480
narration that combines fascinating facts with color. Commentary from Reese Darby ookay, that

98
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.759
sounds really expensive to make. Why
did you make that blonde medicine? They've

99
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.720
been putting out a lot of cool
comedy albums. They've announced a debut album

100
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.279
from Jeff Tice. Jeff Spells's name
Geoff. The album's title Jokes with a

101
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:09.560
G Out of Me on May seventeenth. Jeff got into comedy twelve years ago.

102
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.120
He went to an open mic and
bombed, but never looked back.

103
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.079
He's a staple of the Denver scene. He's opened for Nate Pergatsey, Dmitri

104
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.519
mart and the Sclore Brothers and others. Jokes with a G is a collection

105
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.600
of self deprecating stories about being a
new parent, second weddings at his dad's

106
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.439
drunk late night calls. So this
is where the festival stuff used to go.

107
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.199
As I warned you, the podcast
is a little shorter when I'm not

108
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.560
playing A million clips were back down
to the twelve minute ish range. The

109
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.360
eight hundred Pound Gorilla sent some folks
out to catch a couple shows at Moontower

110
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:42.560
for Nicole Bayer. The Gorilla says
Nicole sett ran a wide range of topics.

111
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.079
The New Hour featured jokes about meeting
Tom Cruise, not knowing John Cena's

112
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.920
catchphrase what New Fat Is, loving
porn, and being single. She also

113
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.879
showed off her crowd work chops.
They also sent somebody to see Joe Parra.

114
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.920
Unlike Buyer, Para wasn't matching the
audience's energy or even a quarter of

115
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.079
timid and humble. This was the
Joe Parra that we came to see.

116
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.079
He's the definition of quirky. Parah
ended the show by talking the audience to

117
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.959
sleep. In what has become a
signature bit, Para did not succeed in

118
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.920
putting the audience to sleep. Instead, he gave us a show that the

119
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.639
crowd would certainly recall for years to
come. Exclamation point and that is your

120
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.759
comedy news for today. If you
enjoy the program, tell a friend about

121
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.879
it and they might like it too. See you tomorrow
