The one drug Pete Davidson can't quit

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.279
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey man,
Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news Jimmy

2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.800
fallon joke, Joe Biden is now
getting credit for guiding us through the pandemic,

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.640
creating millions of jobs, rebuilding our
nations crumbling infrastructure, and eliminating billions

4
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.359
of student loans. Democrats heard that
and we're like, hey, this guy

5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.280
should run for presidents. Allen also
said, typically on Sundays, everybody thinks

6
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.920
about quitting their job. Biden's the
first person to actually go through with it.

7
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:37.039
There is actual news today, unlike
yesterday's podcast. Taylor Tomlinson has announced

8
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.159
a tour. It is called Save
Me. It'll kick go off this fall.

9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.679
Taylor will deconstruct her faith, explore
her sexuality, and decide whether or

10
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.119
not having children is worth it.
Taylor has previously said I took After Midnight

11
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.600
hosting gig because they were like,
we film Monday through Wednesday. You can

12
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.119
tour on the weekends, and once
you're on tour by yourself, you don't

13
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.679
see other comedians. So I was
like, oh, you can play around

14
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.719
with other comedians on TV for half
the week. That sounds that's great for

15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.079
the Save Me toward Taylor Thomason will
perform on Fridays and Saturdays so she can

16
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:10.120
be back in La on Monday.
The New York Times has profile TikToker Alison

17
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:15.719
Reese. It seems Alison Reese has
the Kamala Harris corner of TikTok. The

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.519
Time says she's known for her impression
of Harris and that Reese puts on pearls

19
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.680
and a distinct vocal effect for the
satirical sketches she posts on TikTok. She

20
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.000
has more than two hundred thousand followers. I'm sure she'll have a lot more

21
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.640
soon. She gained another ten thousand
of them on Sunday. I checked it

22
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.280
out. I went through several clips
because I wanted to pull one for you,

23
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.840
and then I was like, none
of these are really that funny.

24
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.840
I think the impression is good.
I think the impression is better than the

25
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.959
material. I'm not sure she will
be the definitive Kamala Harris of our generation,

26
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.840
but she's off to a good start. Like I said, I pulled

27
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.920
a couple clips and I couldn't find
anything hilarious, But let me share the

28
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.159
impression with you to check out anyway. A lot of people be like she

29
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.599
laughed too much. Have you ever
seen Donald Trump laugh? I don't think

30
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.760
he can't. He don't land,
he can't last. I bet if he

31
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:15.400
did land to be something. Here's
my impression of Donald Trump lamping ready because

32
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.919
he must. It's pretty good.
But I think doing the laugh every five

33
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.240
seconds is going to get old pretty
quick. But what do I know.

34
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.039
I'm recording a podcast on my basement
and I don't have two hundred thousand followers.

35
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.039
The Times spoke to Reese on Sunday
night, and re said, it's

36
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.319
been a weirdly crazy day. I
can't imagine what Kamala's actual day was like.

37
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.800
Reese first stepped into the role of
Harris during an SNL showcase. Re

38
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.159
said, I was like, wow, as a half black woman, when

39
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.280
am I ever going to get the
chance to use this skill. I could

40
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.159
do a lot of different vocal impressions, but it was never applicable to be

41
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.560
the voice took a couple of tries
to get right. Harris's delivery is musical

42
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.400
with a touch of vocal fry.
She lifts the pitch of a phrase when

43
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.240
she feels it's important, and splits
long words into equally enunciated syllables. After

44
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.800
that, the laugh, it's like
you're surprised I have laughed, and then

45
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.719
you're really settling into enjoying that you're
laughing. It's a very difficult time to

46
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.199
do these impressions. You can't just
be like, I'm a silly goose.

47
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.360
You have to be intentional and thoughtful
because some people take it very seriously.

48
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.120
I think she's got a good head
on her shoulders. I don't agree with

49
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.039
everything, but who would. Re
says she'll be watching Harris's next moves,

50
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.520
a thing will happen, and I'm
like, all right, get the wig.

51
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.280
Speaking of political humor, check out
the Ballot podcast. We've been putting

52
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.960
out at least two a day.
We're kind of in a rhythm right now

53
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.280
of a morning episode and one around
I don't know, five thirty six pm

54
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.199
Eastern. There's just been so much
going on. I want to get that

55
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.800
back down to once a day.
It's a lot of work. I mean,

56
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.759
it's not torture. It's riffing jokes
about the plutal news of the day.

57
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.599
We still have to make the thing, but so much going on,

58
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.439
and hard work is rewarded. The
numbers on ballot are way up. It

59
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.280
actually outdrew this show, and this
show's five years old. Ballot where you

60
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.960
get your podcast? Pete Davidson making
headlines, everyone including me, going with

61
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:59.319
the headline the one drug Pete Davidson
can't quit The Daily Mail reported in Atlantic

62
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.479
City. On set, Pete david
said on stage said I can't quit weed

63
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.800
yet. It's all I have left. I did coke and ketamine and all

64
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.759
the pills and all that stuff.
All I have is weed left. So

65
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.280
it's almost over, but I'm holding
on for a bit longer. Pete Davidson

66
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.439
talked about his car accident. I
guess that was last year, earlier this

67
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:17.759
year, who can remember. Pete
said, I saw the house and I

68
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.959
was like, I don't think you
could die if he hit a house.

69
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.879
Usually in sitcoms they go right through
it. So I swerved and I aim

70
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.720
for the house and actually hit the
garage pretty good. Even at my worst,

71
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.040
I'm pretty spot On March twenty twenty
three, this happened. He slammed

72
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.920
into a Beverly Hills house after driving
one hundred miles an hour down the street,

73
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.720
despite me understanding that he was doing
stand up comedy. There is nothing

74
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.399
funny about a speeding accident. Pete
said, the cop came and he was

75
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.439
all mad because I drove into a
structure. I was freaking out and I

76
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.759
had to calm myself down. He
said he was scared of potentially going to

77
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.240
jail. Kevin Hart never afraid to
work. He's got yet another gig.

78
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.360
Well, he's got like five gigs. This week He's doing an Olympics thing

79
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.720
on Peacock. I think that kicks
off Friday. But for this story.

80
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.000
As part of Airbnb Icons, Kevin
Hart will become an Airbnb host for one

81
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:11.000
weekend only. He will welcome visitors
to the Corimino Live Lounge, named after

82
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.120
Grand Coromino, which is his tequila
brands. So not only is he working,

83
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.120
he's tied two things together to make
some money. This guy knows how

84
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.959
to make a bucks. During the
evening, Kevin Hart will join guests and

85
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.480
enjoying stand up comedy from surprise guests
teased as a listers, as well as

86
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.360
a tasting of all three Coromina tequilas
with a bartender Chai Lee. Even Jim

87
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.399
Gaffigan is like sounds kind of lame
bro. The visit will also include music

88
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:41.199
from a live DJ, four signature
cocktails, and a plant based appetizer.

89
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.000
Why a plant based appetizer? Oh
yeah, Remember Kevin Hart's got his hand

90
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.160
in some fast food chain that's a
plant based Yeah. This guy's tying it

91
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.519
all together. Why not record a
podcast and a TV show and recap the

92
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:57.600
Olympics while you're doing it? Kevin
On Kevin Hart's official Airbnb host profile,

93
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.639
his page reads, what's up,
world, It's Kevin Hart. You might

94
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.360
know me as an actor and comedian, but I'm also a producer, media

95
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.759
mogul at a one time underwear model. Not a joke. I'm also a

96
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.439
lifelong lover of tequila and the founder
of Grand Cormino. It may sound like

97
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.480
a lot, but hard work tastes
different. I'm excited for you to get

98
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.240
a taste of all that hard work
at the Cormino Live Lounge. Market calendars.

99
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.959
It's about to go down. Jim
Gaffigan may have said, dial it

100
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.399
down, buddy, Come on enough. How much money do you need?

101
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.399
Kevin Hart's Lounge would cost zero dollars
to request. Bookings will open August twenty

102
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:35.160
first at nine am Pacific, and
you can visit to Kevin Hart's Airbnb if

103
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.759
you are selected September twenty fourth through
the twenty sixth, twenty twenty four in

104
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:45.199
Los Angeles, California, this weekend. I had forgot about this. It's

105
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.399
the Zombie just for laughs. Montreal
Comedy Festival. Remember the fest went bankrupt

106
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.040
and then they got new owners,
and the new owners slapped something together.

107
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:59.839
Well, you can see quote famous
American comedian unquote Eliza Sluzenger for free as

108
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.560
part of the closing nights. If
you're in Montreal, head over to the

109
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.120
place Day Festivals. That's how it's
pronounced in French, and that is Sunday

110
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.600
at nine fifteen, and we're told, don't miss this unique and free opportunity

111
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.839
to see Eliza live, because missing
her show would be a big joke,

112
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.600
but not a good one. I
appreciate you all listening every day, especially

113
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.480
as the show comes up on the
fifth anniversary. I think Monday, I'd

114
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.560
have to go back and see when
I publish the first one, but July

115
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.360
twenty ninth is in my marine.
But anyway, we're coming up on five

116
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.399
years, and I wanted to shout
out to Isaac who dropped me a note.

117
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.879
Hello, Isaac, appreciate you thanks
for listening. Ariel Dundas gave Broadway

118
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.600
World her tips to doing the Fringe
over in Edinburgh. Ariel says, the

119
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.959
fringe is kind of like a marathon
you have to run. At Sprint,

120
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.199
I'll be doing an hour long solo
show twenty four times over the course of

121
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.360
twenty five days. During those days, I'll be seeing as many shows as

122
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.560
I possibly can. In between performing
on shows with multiple performers. I also

123
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.000
need to be constantly promoting my own
show at the fringe. It's customer,

124
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.240
I'm ready to promote your show by
doing what New York comedians would call barking.

125
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.079
That means handing out flyers to people
as they passed you on the street.

126
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.800
In Edinburgh they call this flying.
Let me talk about that for a

127
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.240
second. Back when I was really
deep into this, at the prime years

128
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.439
of running zero s X on Comedy, there would be these poor comedians handing

129
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.480
out flyers in Times Square and I'd
walk through Times Square to catch the bus

130
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.040
on the way home every day and
I'd be like, do you like comedy?

131
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.759
And I wanted to. I never
did it because I'm not such a

132
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.279
jerk, but like, I wanted
to have a famous comedian on the phone

133
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.560
and be like, actually I do
here talk to my friend Larry or something

134
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.120
like that. I never actually did
it. I don't know why I wanted

135
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.720
to do that, but it was
just I don't know, somebody handing me

136
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.159
a flyer when I just like would
have walked out of a room with Deane

137
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.240
Cook and somebody going do you like
comedy and be like, m yeah,

138
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.600
anyway. Ariel Dundas says, I
think the biggest benefit of doing the Fringe

139
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.639
is getting to do the fringe.
Like, personally, can't imagine anying more

140
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.759
fun than getting to do stand up
for at least an hour every day.

141
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.799
On a practical level, it means
you improve by leaps and bounds. It's

142
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.200
basically time dilation, a year's worth
of improved in just one month. On

143
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.240
top of that, you're meeting creative
people from all over the world. Pro

144
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.519
Tips applications open in January, and
while most of them are on a rolling

145
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.720
basis, I would suggest having a
description of your show, a marketing plan,

146
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.080
and an artist bio ready to go
in December, so you can apply

147
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.919
as soon as they open. Once
you're selected, usually in February or March,

148
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.480
I would immediately get started making branding
for the show, get pro pictures

149
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.559
taken and hire someone to make the
posters and flyers for you. You're also

150
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.279
going to want to post about the
show on social media. I recommend just

151
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.120
incorporating reminders that you are going to
be in Edinburgh to your current social media

152
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.879
presence. That reminds me I got
to update on my email signatures. That's

153
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.519
on the list of things to do
for today. Luca Zelnik has announced a

154
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.000
thirty plus city stand up tour as
the headliner of the first ever Java Monster

155
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:52.639
Highly Laffinated Comedies. You know,
the publicist sent this over this morning and

156
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.279
I was like, oh, I'll
put that into the show. And I

157
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.759
read the Luca Zelnik park and I
never got to the Java Monster Highly Laffinated

158
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.200
Comedy Tour poard pretty good. I
like at The tour launches in North America

159
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.720
on August eighth in Brooklyn. Is
that how we describe Brooklyn? Now it's

160
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.519
in North America, not even New
York, it's just North America, Brooklyn.

161
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:15.240
It's over thirty cities before wrapping in
North America. On one of the

162
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.120
dates this year known as New Year's
Eve in Buffalo, North America. Other

163
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.679
cities include North America's Washington, d
C, Dallas, Atlanta, and Boston.

164
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.840
Lucas Zelnick As an NBA from Stamford, I have one out of Saint

165
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.799
John's What does that get you?
You host a podcast in your basement?

166
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.600
On stage, Lucas's conversational stand up
challenges his cushy Manhattan upbringing with punch heavy

167
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.960
material, while his quick witted crowd
work in death maneuvering with hecklers and outtakes

168
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.879
has gotten him over one hundred million
views on socials Nice. He gave a

169
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.600
quote, could be more excited about
partnering with Java Monster to debut the Highly

170
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.480
Elafinated Tour. Their tasty drinks will
be a perfect combination with my tasteless comedy.

171
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.879
Get your tickets before they sell out. Hey, Java Monster, I

172
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.440
know a guy that this was a
daily podcast about comedy who's been known to

173
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.200
drink coffee. Anyway, if you
want to see the Java Monster Highly Laffinated

174
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.279
Tour, Brooklyn, North America,
August eighth, Tempe, d C.

175
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.399
Richmond, Jersey City, Hampden,
Connecticut, Charleston, Wilmington, Columbia,

176
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.039
South Carolina, and Naples, Florida, Johnia, Beach, Florida and New

177
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.440
Orleans, Nashville, San Antonio,
Dallas, Las Vegas, San Diego,

178
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.519
Cleveland, Philly, Salt Lake,
Denver, Lincoln, Nebraska, Springfield,

179
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.000
Missouri, Kansas City, Missouri,
Athens, Georgia, Atlanta, Boston,

180
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.320
Vancouver, Buffalo. I was wondering
why we were being so specific about North

181
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.600
America, and that's because of that
one. Actually it's two pesky Vancouver shows,

182
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.440
but it's not like he's playing New
Zealand. And that's the comedy news

183
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.200
for today. I have one more
thing I want to talk about, but

184
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.960
it's not comedy news. If you
only came for the comedy news, you

185
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.120
are dismissed for everybody else. Remember
last week I talked about the commercials,

186
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.480
and there was one listener who's like, going to keep hearing promos for the

187
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.120
TJ Show to drive me nuts.
So I heard back from him. Turns

188
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.039
out the listeners in South America,
which sounds pretty cool until you realize Lucas

189
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.559
Zelnick's tour is not going there.
It's a North American tour starting in Brooklyn

190
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.960
at North America anyway, so he's
in South America, which explains everything.

191
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.919
As I pointed out last week.
A lot of the ads are geographically targeted,

192
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.879
so a lot of American advertisers probably
don't run ads in South America.

193
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.759
So you were hearing the TJ Show. Now, once I put this all

194
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.759
together, you know I probably shouldn't
promote the TJ Show in South America.

195
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.600
So good news, listener, I
have blocked the TJ Show promo from running

196
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.320
in your country. Unless you travel, you should never hear it again.

197
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.279
Now. Interestingly enough, I was
listening to a ballot earlier today. Oh,

198
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.759
this is what I want to share
with you. There's this weird glitch

199
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.000
in my neighborhood when I drive around. If I download a show in my

200
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.519
house, it thinks I'm in New
Jersey. If I drive around the neighborhood

201
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.879
specifically an Apple podcasts and I stream
a podcast rather than download it in advance.

202
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.960
For some reason, Apple Podcasts think
I'm in Ireland. So I get

203
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.840
all these spots for like Irish TV
shows and the Irish Lottery. And then

204
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.360
driving around this morning on my way
back from the National Donus Chain, I

205
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.240
heard a promo for the TJ Show. I guess I should block Ireland as

206
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.720
well. All right, that's your
podcast for today. See you tomorrow,
