00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.199
Caalarogashock media, buckle the bleep up.
2
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.199
Yesterday I gave you a show with no politics. Today
3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.960
politics my friends, and Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your
4
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:22.559
daily comedy news. Ben Stiller said, we live in a
5
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.640
world we're taking chances with comedy is more challenging. You're
6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.879
seeing that front and center in our country. But I
7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.480
think it's important that comedians keep doing what they're doing,
8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.079
speaking truth to power and being free to say what
9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.119
they want. That's the most important thing. Steeler said. I've
10
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:37.880
had people reach out to me and say you should
11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.520
edit Donald Trump out of Zoolander. But at the end
12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.320
of the day, that was a time that existed, and
13
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.560
that happened Andrew Schultz was on Joe Rogan's show. Now
14
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.399
the media is just catching up to this. This has
15
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.520
been out for a while. I haven't listened to it
16
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.159
yet because when I listened to Schultz's own podcast last week,
17
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.320
I was like this, I can't with this show. So
18
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.359
I was not any mood at all to listen to
19
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.079
Schultz and Rogan. Let me see when that one came
20
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:08.159
out October eighteenth. Yeah, so it's been out for a while.
21
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.000
But anyway, the media started to pick up on it,
22
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.439
correct wrote, There's no way I can in good faith
23
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.319
recommend to you. The sprawling three and a half hour
24
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.400
long conversation between Andrew Schultz and Joe Rogan, it was
25
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.719
by and large not very enlightening, as most conversations that
26
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.000
run that long tend to be, But at nearly the
27
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.120
three hour mark, the duo finally got to talking about
28
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.560
something significant, their decision to both interview Donald Trump. Schultz
29
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.799
told Rogan, I do think in general, like us just
30
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.439
having politicians on and even going to the rally, what's
31
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.439
happened is that we've politicized ourselves and brought ourselves into
32
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.599
the game of politics, which is the ugliest game. Schultz said.
33
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.920
It's the ugliest game because it's that zero sum stuff
34
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.959
that we were saying earlier. It's just like people really
35
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.280
believe it's life or death. It's really life or death.
36
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.120
I don't know if you follow the headlines, Chultz continued, Dude,
37
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.599
I was pushing my daughter in a stroller, right, and
38
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:00.959
the lady goes, hey, didn't you have Trump on your podcast?
39
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.400
And I was like, I already know what's going on.
40
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.560
I'm like, yeah, yeah, he was on the podcast, and
41
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.000
She's like, well, I hope your daughter has a good life,
42
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.280
and Scheltz was like, I'm like, b word, you live
43
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:11.960
in Tribeca, you know what I mean? Like, what do
44
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.080
you think is happening over here? The Canadians are upset.
45
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.639
So Schultz told Joe Rogan that he found the concept
46
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.039
of indigenous land acknowledgments funny. I don't know if you've
47
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.840
run into that, and you will find that at many
48
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.159
theaters these days, especially if you're at a college. Scheltz said,
49
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.080
I find it funny when governments do these things like
50
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.800
enforced care, and anytime I'm performing in Canada and I'm
51
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.719
in an indigenous area, they make me do a land acknowledgement.
52
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.159
I remember the first time they told me. I was like,
53
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.240
you want me to do? What? I remember telling it
54
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.960
to the chief of the tribe, like brother. That kind
55
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.800
of seems like I'm bragging. I'm going up there and
56
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.479
being like this used to be yours, but the boys
57
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.199
came in and you all got the f out of here.
58
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.919
You want me to remind everybody what happened before the
59
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.800
comedy show. Brogan tagged it and said, yeah, we stole it,
60
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.919
but it's ours now. Sorry. The thing is the people
61
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.240
that go along with that are the same people that
62
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.840
want no borders and think no one is illegal being anywhere,
63
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.319
Like Christopher Columbus is the only immigrant they hate. There's
64
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.800
no borders, no illegal and yet these people shouldn't have
65
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.400
been here. Fox News picked up on the part of
66
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.240
the conversation about Kamala Harris. Joe Rogan said she was
67
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.439
on stage with Kara Swisher and Kara Swisher was kind
68
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.400
of like ragging on her a little bit. She was like,
69
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.000
you know, some people said that I was the most
70
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.520
qualified person ever run for president. Like who said that?
71
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.439
And like who said that? Rogan points out, you're literally
72
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.039
running against a guy who was already president, So if
73
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.560
you're going based on your resume, you're not more qualified
74
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.039
than Biden. Biden was the vice president of the United
75
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.879
States for eight years. You may recall Jimmy Kimmel was
76
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.479
temporarily taken off the air. Well, people did not support fascism.
77
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.919
I know you don't. I know, when you're watching Scrubs,
78
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.159
you go upstairs and get the DVDs. You are definitely
79
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.120
not just watching them on Hulu plus every night because
80
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.560
you do not support fascism. You are one of the
81
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.000
roughly three million Americans that canceled their Disney Plus subscriptions. Yeah,
82
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.960
a new report from the research firm Antenna says roughly
83
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.000
three million Americans canceled Disney Plus in September. The previous
84
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.439
three month average was one point two million people canceling.
85
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.840
The Times points out another way to look at the
86
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.759
data is four percent of the subscribers canceled in July,
87
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.120
eight percent in September for Disney Plus. Over on the
88
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.439
Hulu side, five percent in July and ten percent in September.
89
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.439
None of this bothers Jullying Summers. She will premiere her
90
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.959
first hour comedy special What Specie Are You? That'll be
91
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.879
on Hulu November eight. Now, you won't be able to
92
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.160
see it because you've canceled Hulu and Disney Plus. You
93
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.360
are one of the three million strong who do not
94
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.720
support fascism. The Hulu publicists out there promoting fascism all
95
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.560
across the country anyway. Joll Yang Summers was named one
96
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.160
of Variety's ten Comics to Watch, and this special sees
97
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.079
her dissect what makes us different, what brings us together,
98
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.079
drawing from her life as a Chinese American first generation immigrant.
99
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.480
She tackles topics like cultural clashes, immigrant identity, and motherhood.
100
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.720
I didn't know this about her. She is an Asian
101
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.560
Hall of Fame inductee who recently became the first Chinese
102
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.879
comedian in headline in the Apollo Theater. Former Miss China
103
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.600
also owns and operates the Hollywood Comedy and the Pasadena
104
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.079
Comedy Clubs. Margaret Show through a Rock in the direction
105
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.519
of JK. Ralling over the weekend on TikTok, Margaret Show said,
106
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.639
I hope that when you face metopause you have to
107
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.800
take a lot of gender affirming care, as I do.
108
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.240
And when you're taking these hormones, they make your pubes
109
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.600
go out so thick and hard. It's like steel wool.
110
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.360
And if anyone does something that a woman might enjoy,
111
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.040
they get a face full of scars. Feisty show today.
112
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.879
All right, you think that's ficy, Let's get to Michelle Wolf.
113
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.600
We'll start with the easy part of the Michelle Wolf News.
114
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.399
TV Insider asked her what was her reaction when she
115
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.160
found out Stephen Colbert was getting canceled and then Jimmy
116
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.360
Kimmel yanked off the air. Does Michelle Wolf support fascism.
117
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.040
Michelle said Late Night has been a tough landscape for
118
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.759
a while now because nobody is watching TV like that anymore.
119
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.040
A part of me is not surprised if the purse
120
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.000
strings are a bit tighter or ratings aren't as high
121
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.560
as they used to be. I do think you can't
122
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.920
cancel someone because the government wants you to. It's one
123
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:58.639
thing to cancel show because the ratings aren't good and
124
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.639
the budget isn't there. If someone from the government specifically
125
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.160
says they don't want them on TV anymore, I think
126
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.519
that's the time everybody, regardless of if you agree with
127
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.000
them politically or not, should be like that's unacceptable. It's
128
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.279
a really scary place to be. That was one of
129
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.240
the things I thought if Trump got elected, he's not
130
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:15.959
gonna let people make fun of him. At some point
131
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.000
a presidency, he's going to say you're not allowed to
132
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.279
make fun of me anymore. There's a real quick downhill
133
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.879
from there. They were curious if she got to do
134
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.319
the White House Correspondence dinner again, what would happen. She said,
135
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.439
I would go even harder than I went. I thought
136
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.480
my jokes were actually pretty team. I would definitely go
137
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.360
harder at both the government and the media. I think
138
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.480
a lot of it was talking about whatever articles I
139
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.000
feel like. Now it's at a point where could get
140
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.240
really threatened by the government. You hire a comedian to
141
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.399
tell some roast jokes, you do exactly that, and I
142
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.360
could put you in some political trouble Right now, it's
143
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.800
a pretty precarious position we find ourselves in. Now. She
144
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.040
had done some sets. I've gotta play a bunch of
145
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.639
clips here the premise, and you'll hear these are from
146
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.360
four different dates. I'm trying to figure out what this
147
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.040
room is. It's clearly somewhere where she's working out. The
148
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.480
crowd is low energy, she's low energy, and in the
149
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.199
video she's clearly working off a laptop. So this is
150
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.720
a workout room. And what I'm about to play are
151
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.879
some clips from four different weeks. These are jokes. I'll
152
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.120
let her set it up. She was talking about the
153
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.000
Riodd Comedy Festival and jokes she might have done there.
154
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.759
I have done some editing for piacing, but I want
155
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.399
to let you hear her thoughts as she's going through these,
156
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.759
and I'll leave the pacing of the actual jokes intact.
157
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.879
But some of the setup, I may have trimmed down
158
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.480
a little bit. All right, here's week one.
159
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.199
So there's this gonna be this comedy festival in Saudi Arabia.
160
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.279
They asked me to do it, and I would to
161
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.439
debate it over doing it, but I had to say
162
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.519
no because it's supposed to be like five days after
163
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.680
I'm having a baby. So I had to say no.
164
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.240
But now I keep thinking of all these jokes I
165
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.199
would have told. If I had gone, I mean, I
166
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.920
definitely would have been kushow beat and by that I
167
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.720
mean murdered by the government. Okay, so this is I
168
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.920
would have started with, sorry, I'm late. I drove here.
169
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.199
It's nice to be in a place where women still
170
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.639
have a leg up on gay men or I don't know,
171
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:27.680
whatever body part they're cutting off. We have this phrase
172
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.920
in America, you're only a stones throw away, which means
173
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.240
you're close. I don't think it means the same thing here.
174
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.480
I think it's more like you're only a stones throw
175
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.159
away from learning that lesson.
176
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.279
And then a week later, I only thought of one Saudi.
177
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.360
Joke this week, but I think it's pretty good. So
178
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.200
this is the joke I would have used in the
179
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.480
festival this week. This one, really I think I would
180
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:57.360
have had to get airlifted out immediately. This festival is
181
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.399
sponsored by the Saudi government, so of my set doesn't
182
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.039
go well, if I crash and burn, you could just
183
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:11.799
call me flight ninety three. That's really good.
184
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:12.840
Why are you groaning?
185
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.200
Are you groaning because a bunch of people died? That's fair.
186
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.480
I gotta tell you. Twenty four years later, that flight
187
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.639
ninety three joke, I'm still like, too soon.
188
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.360
As fun and as easy it is to poke at Saudi.
189
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.679
Let's not pretend America is perfect. Yeah, so maybe Saudi
190
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.320
financed nine to eleven. What did America do in response
191
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.279
attack a different country that has less oil and even
192
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.919
less weapons of mass destruction? If Saudi was acting as
193
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.919
the bank for nine to eleven? We all know America
194
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.559
thinks banks are too big to fail, but the Iraqi
195
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.240
people are just the right size. My other joke for
196
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.399
Saudi this week is they offered me a good amount
197
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.200
of money to do the festival, but when I heard
198
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.360
what they offered.
199
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.279
Men, it was way more.
200
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.159
And if you had seen my face when I found out,
201
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.279
you would have wished we still had to cover our
202
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:20.039
entire heads it's a pretty good one. I think actually
203
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.240
both of those I would have stayed alive before. I
204
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.440
think I think maybe not the funding of nine to eleven.
205
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.159
That might have been a bit. Yeah, you're right, and
206
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.279
one week after that.
207
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.600
I do have one final Saudi joke for this week
208
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.600
as we're you know, in the festival in the moment,
209
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.080
I'm sure they will never ask me to go. Now,
210
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.440
in a time where free speech is being tested everywhere,
211
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.440
it's nice to be here in Saudi, where neither a
212
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:56.240
comedian nor a journalist has been killed since oh June anyway,
213
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:04.720
so nice to be here. I love all your hats.
214
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.480
Kober still has a way to go at eleven thirty,
215
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.399
but something's going to air at eleven thirty Byron Allen.
216
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.840
He's the guy that has his comics on lease show
217
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.000
that's on CBS at twelve thirty. Now, he says he'd
218
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.159
like eleven thirty. Said, let me be clear, if they're
219
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.240
looking for a show, my hands already up fifty years.
220
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.240
I've been waiting for this moment, and definitely I'm going
221
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.159
for it. I said, mathematically, you'll never beat this show.
222
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.240
Why would you spend thirty five million dollars on a
223
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.440
television show at that hour. I will happily produce the
224
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.480
show and you can save that thirty five million, forty
225
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.279
million and spend it elsewhere. Day one, I said, this
226
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.200
show is to be evergreen. No topical humor, no political humor.
227
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.639
I don't want anything that is racist, homophobic, anti Semitic.
228
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.639
I don't want any of that. The thing I said
229
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.440
to the comics wasn't TV you don't have to be
230
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.559
the funniest, you have to be the most likable. Leslie
231
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.240
Jones and Hannibal Burse who's just back for the Riog
232
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.559
Comedy Festival, would be part of the ten Thousand Laughs
233
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.080
Comedy Festival now and it's thirteenth year back tonight through
234
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.840
the weekend. Wendy Wigger overseas laugh at and says it's
235
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.279
gotten a lot harder. The reality is the comedic talent
236
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.080
that it's available to us is not at the same
237
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.279
price point it was fifteen years ago when we started,
238
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.399
so we've adjusted. They've cut down from what was originally
239
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.080
ten days of programming. When if the organizer says, since
