00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.080
Callaroga Shark Media. I'm going to cancel myself today. Hi,

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.839
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy News Voices. Back

3
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.519
Tony Hinchcliff. Remember him, He single handedly cost Donald Trump

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.120
the election by telling a joke. He has released a

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.559
thirty seven minute set on Twitter. I've shared it in

6
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:26.679
the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group. At the

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.879
thirty four minute mark, he shares a joke that he

8
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.719
decided not to tell at the rally. Let's listen.

9
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.280
Well, there's these hurricanes that have been happening in Florida

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.960
and it's just terrible, you know. So what I think

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.359
we should do is, I think we should take all

12
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.119
the good tax paying Americans when a hurricane is coming

13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.640
into their zone. He put them on flights, fly him

14
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:57.079
somewhere safe like Springfield, Ohio. Take the migrants from Springfield, Ohio,

15
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:03.000
and fly them into the path of the hurricane. Yeah.

16
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.920
From what I've heard, it's raining cats and dogs there.

17
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:10.719
So that's breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a little something to

18
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:11.640
wash it all down.

19
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.959
I find the joke funny because I understand how jokes work.

20
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.560
No one is actually eating cats or dogs. It doesn't

21
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.120
actually rain cats and dogs, and we're not actually gonna

22
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.760
put people on planes. It's a joke. That's how jokes work,

23
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.079
and that one's funny. Larry David has reprised his role

24
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.359
as George Steinberner. You may recall he played George Steinberner

25
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.079
in several episodes of Seinfeld. Well, he's now playing Steinberner

26
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.040
in a commercial for Fanatics. Those are the guys that

27
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.319
have basically ruined all the uniforms in Major League sports

28
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.120
in my humble opinion. Those guys they also own tops

29
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.040
cards now, and they are promoting a set that includes

30
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.079
a card that never was. It's a nineteen eighty one

31
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.560
Bowman card featuring NFL Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway,

32
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.599
who was drafted by the Yankees. The spot's called It's

33
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.239
gotta be Elway. We hear George Steinberner demanding at his

34
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.599
executive's draft John Elway, let's listen to part of it,

35
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.480
all right, mister stein Brainner. For our next pick, the

36
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.680
team wants to go with Tony Gwynn, the basketball player.

37
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.919
I don't think so, it's gotta be Lway. I want

38
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.159
him out in right field with that Canada and armed. Well,

39
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.639
Sir Elway, is a great choice, but we prefer Tony Gwynn.

40
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.319
He projects to be even better than Keith Hernandez Keith Ornandez.

41
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.960
I don't like that big mustache. Well, we could really

42
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.520
use his hitting at the top of our lineup.

43
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:27.560
Nope, that's alway.

44
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.120
The sky's the limit for that guy.

45
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.039
I can see it all.

46
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.319
The kid's lining up for his baseball card, his name

47
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.599
in lights at Yankee Stadium, his name on the side

48
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.680
of a car dealership. I've always told you about the

49
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.479
importance of a good name. Well, Gwynn is a great name, sir.

50
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.439
I mean Wrenn is actually in his name. Comascio mental ruth.

51
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.360
It's gotta be oh way, Oh, make the pick fantastic, sir.

52
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:56.639
No more time to chut. It's Kyle's old time. I

53
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.360
didn't find that one that funny. Sorry, love you, Larry

54
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.960
Love signed not a funny commercial. The spot also features

55
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.439
Stephen A. Smith and John Elway as themselves. The Minnesota

56
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.039
Star Tribune went to go see Russell Peters his tours

57
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.759
called Relax. It's not that serious. Good title. Russell Peters

58
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.800
a seventy minute set. The Star Trip says, when riffing

59
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.919
with an audience, member with Malaysian roots. Russell Peters not

60
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.800
only knew the country uses ringts as currency, but what

61
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.520
it's worth an American dollars. He asked a Native American

62
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.759
couple bolt sporting long hair how much shampoo they go

63
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.159
through at home? And he engaged with folks from Borneo,

64
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.080
Guyana and Pakistan as if he were hosting a United

65
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.120
Nations tea parties as the Star Tribune. But they add

66
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.080
some of the materials sounded dangerously close to cheap insults,

67
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.240
like when he explained how he landed his Filipino wife

68
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.240
with a coupon and how he wants to launch an

69
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.080
Indian dating app called Connect the Dots. He joked with

70
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.520
a Somali in the crowd, saying I'm the captain now.

71
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.280
But they right. But Peters has been doing this long

72
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.960
enough to avoid stepping over the line. His disarming smile

73
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.240
and good natured delivery let him get away with jokes

74
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.960
that might otherwise lead to a bar fight. He says,

75
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.680
I don't look at you like an ade I look

76
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.479
at us like friends hanging out. Isn't that nice? Maybe

77
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.759
comedy could be comedy again now, The Star Tribune points

78
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.960
out opening act Adam Hunter practically dared the audience to

79
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.199
gasp after one shocker. An audience member reminded Hunter that

80
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.960
he was in Minnesota, but we're told Hunter didn't seem

81
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.279
to care. On Gossip Corner, the US Sun stirring it

82
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.319
up about Pete Davidson. They have two sources, one negative,

83
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.120
one positive. Source Number one said when buff Gus was

84
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.199
set for season two and Pete suddenly backed out of it,

85
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.600
people were furious with him. His team keeps trying to

86
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.399
get him to go on social media, so he went on,

87
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.360
but then he got back off. The guy's really hard

88
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.160
to work with. But then insider number two said, he

89
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.480
gets movie and TV offers every week, but they're not

90
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.439
necessarily in lined with things he's looking to do. He's

91
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.439
actually continuously getting offers, but he's figuring out exactly what

92
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.600
he wants. He's looking at some things for the spring,

93
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.000
which hopefully will be announced in January. Is things going

94
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.959
in the right direction, and he's considering a bunch of

95
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.839
different projects which will likely be confirmed sometime in the

96
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.000
new year. An insider, perhaps a third insider, says Pete

97
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.480
has a therapist in Florida who works on processing traumatic

98
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.879
memories and dealing with pettsd Pete travels to see the

99
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.639
therapist on a regular basis for treatment. But Pete is

100
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.639
currently clean and in a good headspace. So a phrase

101
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.519
I increasingly use his iage is many things can be

102
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.000
true at once. One I could see and I talked

103
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.439
about this recently, where people don't want to sign Pete

104
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.480
Davidson up for a deal because they're not sure that

105
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.160
he'll actually show up for work. Put that aside. Two,

106
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.439
we can be kind and supportive of Pete Davidson and

107
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.279
hope that he finds a good path. Put that aside.

108
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.480
And point number three. You know, everybody who works with

109
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.560
the guy seems to love the guy. So he's clearly

110
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.920
not a jerky face. He's clearly somebody who's loved and

111
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.439
he's openly going through some struggles, and I personally hope

112
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.560
he finds that good path. Oh, I forgot to share.

113
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.800
I saw a funny thread. I hope it didn't scroll down.

114
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.319
Is it still here? I'm just scrolling through people commenting

115
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.639
on that horrible shooting of the CEO. Somebody commenting on

116
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.839
Jimmy Fallon's beverage in Take Rats. I lost it. I

117
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.759
wanted to credit the person. I'll have to do it

118
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.040
from memory. Somebody threaded that they opened up their Santa

119
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.279
tracking app a little too early and they see Santa

120
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.920
just walked into an adult bookstore in Saskatchewan. Good joke.

121
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.360
I'm sorry I can't credit you. I am the Carlos

122
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.959
Mencia of Comedy podcast John Marcos SERRESI a friend of

123
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.600
the show. He tweeted, this is getting confusing. Can we

124
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.480
just all go back to Twitter and call it Twitter?

125
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.240
I can't have X and blue sky and it's too much.

126
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.959
John Marco was on Twitter, sorry X, where one tweets

127
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.120
After much overthinking, I've decided to record my first comedy

128
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.720
special if you disregard the last one of February fourteenth

129
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.319
and fifteenth at the Allegiant Theater. That's kind of cool.

130
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.800
Netflix is in early development on a comedy feature starring

131
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.319
John Cena and Eric Andre. Untitled film follows a famous

132
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.600
real estate agent whose carefully curated world is upended when

133
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.639
his eccentric little brother unexpectedly reappears. Bill Maher cut the

134
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.680
crap here. He's saying, you might quit HBO's show Real

135
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.839
Time because he's crapping his pants over having to talk

136
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.480
about very hostile Donald Trump on Bill Maher's podcast guest

137
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.160
Gene Fonda. I did all the Trump stuff before anybody.

138
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.319
I called him a conman before anybody did. He's a

139
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.240
mafia boss. I was the one who said he wasn't

140
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.480
going to concede the election. I've done it. I've seen

141
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.560
this thing play out. All right, you walk away from

142
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.680
that HBO show. Let me know when you do. By

143
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.279
the way, just in case he's right, I want to

144
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.040
point out, like here at Daily Comedy News, we completely

145
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.360
support the administration. Don't cancel us. The Vermont Comedy Festival

146
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.920
is back baby tonight through the eighth. You'll find it

147
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.639
at Bridgewater's Woolen Mill Comedy Club, which sounds like a

148
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.959
nice place. Your headliner is Tim Meadows. The Vermont Comedy

149
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.839
Festival is the brainchild of Matt and Colleen to comics

150
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.920
who love Vermont as much as they love performing. Colleen

151
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:40.439
Doyle says, a lot of what we do with the

152
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.000
Vermont Comedy Festivals try to be ambassadors for the area

153
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.399
where we do the festivals, not the largest metropolis in Vermont,

154
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.319
which of course is you know that one. It's Burlington.

155
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.560
I guess I don't know Gotham City. I don't know,

156
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.839
but I say that I'm silly today, but I say

157
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.079
it's the most quintessential part of Vermont. If you're in

158
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.319
the Woodstock Killington area for a couple of days, people

159
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.480
feel like they really they had Vermont experience. I had

160
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.800
a terrific Vermont experience. Was back in April for the

161
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.040
total eclipse. I drove up to Burlington. The local tourism

162
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.639
people hooked me up with some parking. I hang out

163
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.720
overlooking the lake there, watch the sun get blotted out.

164
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.040
Walked around Burlington downtown, old town. I don't know what

165
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.439
you call it, but it's very nice. I had a

166
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.040
good time. Been trying to tell my wife we should

167
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.000
go up there for a weekend. Really like the Burlington.

168
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.000
The festival opens today with a one minute comedy battle

169
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.040
that includes all performers, allowing audience members to see a

170
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:32.480
snippet of everyone as performance times for longest sets do overlap.

171
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.440
Uh oh, it's the kill tonyism of comedy. If festivals

172
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.919
start doing one minute battles, the established comedians are gonna

173
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.919
get so mad at this. Can you imagine telling Tim Meadows, hey,

174
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.759
I need you to do a minute You could picture

175
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.720
Tim Meadow's face right, He's made the face and a

176
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.480
million S and L sketches. Oh my goodness. I'm supportive here,

177
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.320
but comedians aren't gonna like that, all right. Tonight eight

178
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.279
o'clock One Minute Stand Up Battle ten o'clock is the

179
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.960
festival kickoff dance party, presented by Plymouth Cheese. I'll give

180
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.759
them a plug Tomorrow the main stage show and the

181
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.679
late show and the late late show at eight ten

182
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.039
and midnight, and a bunch of shows over the weekend.

183
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:07.759
Let me go to the website real quick and see

184
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.039
who's at this thing. You know. I'm on the website

185
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.720
and there's a picture of Tim minnows and they don't

186
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.320
have outfront who else is performing. I guess I could

187
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.559
click through, but I was like, can't be bothered, BUTU

188
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.080
stuff on the website, guys. And it got really cold

189
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.480
in the northeast. This would have been awesome, say November fifteenth,

190
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.720
but right now a little cold up there. I feel

191
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.960
like I'm bashing it. I support you, guys, I appreciate

192
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.679
you doing this, but you know, I got a little

193
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.080
personality sometimes. Minny Kayling and Morris Chestnut will present the

194
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.639
nominees for the eighty second annual Golden Globes. You may

195
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.720
recall that they do the Golden Globes every year. Relax, Scott.

196
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.360
The Nominees broadcast will take place December ninth on CBS.

197
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.679
Kayling and Chestnut will present the nominees for each of

198
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.639
the twenty seven award categories. This year's host Nicki Glazer,

199
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.559
last year's host Joe Coy And that's your comedy is

200
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.279
for today. Now I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.

201
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.279
That's your comedy is for today. If you enjoy the show,

202
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.039
tell a friend about it. Support Vermont Comedy Festival. I

203
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.600
feel like I was harsh on them. You're such a jerk,

204
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:03.759
Jonny Max. See tomorrow
