1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Chohnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News.

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.880
Kevin James was the Yankees game.
He was blown away by something and he

3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.239
had to go on social media to
tell you about it. He was impressed

4
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:25.160
by the Yankees chicken tender bucket drink
formerly known as the grub Tub. Daily

5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.359
Comedy News is told that it's a
convenient way for fans to watch baseball without

6
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.479
being too worried about their food and
drinks. Now, if you're wondering what

7
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.240
this thing is, it's a combo
of crispy chicken fingers, salty fries,

8
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.560
and a large drink. But each
piece in the meal is stacked on top

9
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.560
of each other. The drink comes
in a souvenir cup. That's the base

10
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.920
that supports the bowl of food on
top. The straw pops out of the

11
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.600
center, so you always have access
to your drink while you're eating the chicken

12
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.399
fingers. I'm not sure if this
is still true, but at least a

13
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.240
few years ago, the chicken and
fries could be swapped out for a different

14
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.280
option, such as nachos or chili
fries. At sea, this thing was

15
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.000
costing twenty dollars a few years ago. Who knows what it even costs now

16
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.920
the Yankees if forced out. They
used to call it the grub tub.

17
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.239
Now it's called the chicken tender bucket, drink lame. Kevin James said,

18
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.079
I don't know if the Mets are
doing this, but congratulations to the Yankees

19
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.599
today. You win. It is
unclear why Kevin James was at Yankee Stadium,

20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.640
perhaps for the Subway series, because
he said, say what you want

21
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.000
about my movies, my career might
weight have fun. Three things are undeniable,

22
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.159
my faith, my family, and
my loyalty to the Mets. John

23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.879
Lovett tells people that even though he
knew David Spade for decades, it wasn't

24
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.359
until recently that they became close friends. LOVETTZ was at the fiftieth anniversary Saturday

25
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.159
Night Live panel in celebration of the
Groundlings Improv Theater on June twenty eighth.

26
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.920
There's a sentence love Ittt said,
I got Saturday Night Live in eighty five

27
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:49.680
and then eighty six that kept Nora
done, Dennis Miller, and myself.

28
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.159
That's when Dana Corvey came in,
Phil Hartman, Kevin Neeland, Janet Hooks,

29
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.599
and Victoria Jackson. I've never heard
Chan Hooks referred to as Janet Hooks.

30
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.239
Interesting. So I was at the
show with Dana for four years years

31
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.359
and we became like brothers. He's
one of my best friends. Lovett said.

32
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.079
He also considered Hartman his best friend. I went to David Spade saying,

33
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.479
well, maybe we could become friends
because we're both missing our other half,

34
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.360
our best friends. Spade goes,
yeah, because I think it was

35
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.120
hard for me. It took a
while, and then one day I played

36
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.080
golf. We're playing golf, and
I could just tell one day. I

37
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.840
don't know what happened. I just
knew in his mind that okay. Love

38
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.080
It shared some advice he got from
Charles Grodin about performing on SNL. He

39
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.680
goes, you can't be timid on
the show because the characters you got to

40
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.960
really commit, and he added,
Lorne Michael says, when you're out there,

41
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.520
take charge. That sets up a
certain mentality. I knew what he

42
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.960
meant, because otherwise you're kind of
waiting, You're looking for somebody to tell

43
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.639
you, okay, take the lead. He goes, No, when you're

44
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.159
on the show, you're in charge. Take charge of the sketch, take

45
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.639
charge of the character. You know
what I mean. It's a certain mentality

46
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.039
that's very helpful. Kathleen Madigan says, lately, I've been talking a lot

47
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.719
about aging parents. I said up
my friend Robert, I don't think my

48
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.719
parents had a plan for old age, and he goes, oh, no,

49
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.599
they had a plan. The plan
is us. Kathleen Maddigan talked about

50
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.719
taking the keys away from her parents. I followed my parents home from a

51
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.960
casino. They hadn't drank it all
all and I don't know how they didn't

52
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.879
get pulled over eighteen times. He
looked, hammered. That car was jumping

53
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.919
medians and that's just their normal driving. As for becoming a comedian, Kathleen

54
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.080
said, I'm just not a moarning
person. My friend and I accidentally went

55
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.360
to an open mic night as a
goof off thing because we were bartending to

56
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:16.639
make extra money. Me and him
did it for fun. Then I just

57
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.840
kept doing it. I never had
a big thing like a sitcom like Ray

58
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.039
Romano, Rozann or Brett Butler.
Oh remember Brent Butler. Wow, I

59
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.560
haven't heard that name in a while. Sitcoms were all the rage for people

60
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.680
that age but by the time they
got to me, they were kind of

61
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.639
over giving a stand up a sitcom
for people my age, that wasn't a

62
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.759
thing. It was like a slow
train, little train that could just going

63
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.560
and going. And the only reason
that you got there is because you don't

64
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.960
have to worry about your rent.
She liked working with the streamers. It

65
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.759
was fun to work with Netflix.
Same goes for Amazon. They don't really

66
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.599
edit you. I showed them what
I was gonna do, set them a

67
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:46.520
tape from a theater, like this
is what I'm playing, and they were

68
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.960
like, yeah, that's cool.
Send it to us when you're done and

69
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.680
we'll post it. Back in the
day, if you had HBO on showtime,

70
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.879
you had Again on the phone with
lawyers, she talked about hosting a

71
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.680
radio show for a serious XM on
Blue Collar Company. I know a lot

72
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.280
about that. I was in the
room. She's now doing her podcast,

73
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.520
Madigan's Pobcast and says it's been a
lot of fun. I thought it would

74
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.520
be a chore, that it would
be grudge doing every week. I was

75
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.960
going to stop after COVID, but
I still wanted to do it. A

76
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.599
lot of young people like podcasts.
They didn't even know I was a comedian.

77
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.560
They found me through the podcast and
it's like, oh, wow,

78
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.199
you do this other thing for a
living. I'm like, yeah, yes,

79
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.639
you're so young. I won't be
offended that I've been doing this for

80
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:26.279
one hundred and fifty years. Comedian
Kel Fire has left some fans stunned after

81
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.439
bluntly recruiting someone to have some nudge
nudge with her. After she finished her

82
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.160
show on stage, Kel said on
the microphone, does anybody just want to

83
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.920
like go home with me tonight?
I'm serious. One man mustered up the

84
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.600
courage and said, are you serious? Kel said, yeah, you want

85
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.120
to come home with me tonight?
Come on? The audience clapped. The

86
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.920
young man said, let's go.
Kel said, I'm gonna go home and

87
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:53.360
make myself feel better. Oh but
wait. Kel is also an OnlyFans creator,

88
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.879
and it seems the whole thing was
pre planned. In a video,

89
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.360
she wrote, thank god he was
a professional. It could have turned out

90
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:05.759
very differently. Airmail News asked Nicki
Glazer about her bedroom preparations. Is it

91
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.160
a holiday weekend? John? No? Why do you ask? Nicki said?

92
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.399
After shows, I don't like to
go right home. I like to

93
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.319
stay at a venue and hang with
my friends and eat dinner. YouTube been

94
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.160
readed on my nighttime social media sites. I don't really check them throughout the

95
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.439
day because I like to save them
as a treat that almost incentivizes going to

96
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:28.160
bed. NICKI, Are you particular
about your sleep conditions? Nicki says people

97
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.040
complain about sleep, I don't want
to hear it unless you're doing the things

98
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.399
that I do, which just keep
your room at sixty five degrees and make

99
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.639
sure you have a really nice comforter
that keeps you warm. I also use

100
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.079
an eyemask. You need darkness to
fall asleep. I also use an app

101
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.480
called White Noise, and I use
the Airplane travel mode. It literally sounds

102
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.079
like you're on a plane. Boy, that's pretty involved. Just close your

103
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.920
eyes. How long does it take
you to fall asleep while you have a

104
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.639
face mask on and you're listening to
White Noise? Ten to forty minutes,

105
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.680
depending on what's going on. If
I'm still kind of conscious and not really

106
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.879
ready to go back to bed and
I'm just kind of drifting, I will

107
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.319
listen to ASMR videos of a soft
spoken woman talk gently about something that I

108
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.759
kind of care about right now,
trying to learn about football. So I'm

109
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.040
watching this YouTuber named no Frills.
Follow up question was, what's your most

110
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.519
bizarre nighttime habit? Oh? I
think we already know, but Nicky said,

111
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.600
when I'm going through a rough time, I tend to wake up the

112
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.360
middle of the night and eat an
entire meal. I've had eating disorder issues

113
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.920
in my life. Oh good,
a serious answer. To make John sound

114
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.199
like an a hole for that setup
he just did, I'm not editing it

115
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.839
out. Then in the morning,
I have to look at what I've done

116
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.639
and I'm so ashamed. That's usually
when I have to double up my therapy.

117
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.480
Boy, this just got awkward.
Come on, we were having fun.

118
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.759
NICKI. What's the best night sleep
you've ever had? Nicky said,

119
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.079
I don't think I can answer that, because, honestly, wherever I get

120
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.199
really good sleep, I feel guilty. Our society thinks of sleep as laziness.

121
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.639
Usually a good sleep means I've slept
into the early afternoon, and living

122
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.279
in a capitalist society, that is
just inexcusable. It makes you have the

123
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.879
sense of guilt the rest of the
day that you didn't get enough done.

124
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.800
That's the unfortunate part about living in
America. Boy, that got awkward.

125
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.560
I was gonna wrap up there.
Now I have to do one more story,

126
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.519
Nikki. The Larchmont Buzz was at
the Hollywood Fringe Festival over four hundred

127
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.040
shows. Wow, they went to
go see Charlie Day in rock Bottom.

128
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.920
It's not Charlie Day from It's Always
Sunny in Philadelphia. This is Charlie Day

129
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.519
from Never Sunny in England. This
one man tragic comedy follows Nick Bottom as

130
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:24.240
he attempts to save her production of
Pyramis and Fizby after discovering that his crew

131
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.959
and co stars of a band on
the show and him with it. Boy,

132
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.519
my mouth just got dry and need
some of this iced coffee. Buy

133
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.879
me a coffee. Dot com slash
Daily Comedy News, John, did you

134
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.920
record like four podcasts in a row
because you wanted the holiday week and off?

135
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.759
Why? Yes? What starts as
a laugh out loud showcase of clowning

136
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.879
and days impressive of comedy chops slowly
devolves into a much more grounded and poetic

137
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.839
meditation on bottoms, profound isolation and
deep despondents. Well that didn't help either.

138
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.319
I'm trying to get out on a
light note. All right, I'm

139
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.199
pulling up this story from Monday.
This was supposed to be the third story

140
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.000
on Monday's podcast, but we can't
end on two straight downers. Triumph,

141
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.000
the insult comic Dog, was on
the podcast The Daily Show's Ears Edition.

142
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.959
Matt O'Brien was hosting, and they
were joking about when Conan took over the

143
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.160
Tonight show in Los Angeles. Matt
O'Brien said, I had moved to LA

144
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.759
to get away from working with Triumph. Triumph said, so did Conan.

145
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.199
He took his entire crew to the
Left coast because Triumph is a New Yorker

146
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.360
that paid off. I called Leno
and I said, if this guy Triumph

147
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.199
then did a Leno impression that I
don't have. John, you don't even

148
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.279
have a Triumph impression in his Lenno
impression. He said, right away,

149
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.480
sir, right away. I had
a lot of pull back in the aughts.

150
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.840
Boy, trying to do Triumph after
you've recorded four podcasts and your throat

151
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.440
is already shot, forget it all
right? What a mess scene tomorrow
