1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.039
Calorouga Shark Media. I have solved
the mystery of the sixth sauce. Hi,
2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.640
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy
news. Today's a real episode.
3
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:20.280
It's not filler. There's actually news
today. The following is not a commercial.
4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.760
This is just a topic I've been
interested in. Hey world, Jimmy,
5
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.480
oh yank here and I'm on Popeye's
channel today because I need to clear
6
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:32.479
the air. I once wrote in
a famous food magazine that bonus wings are
7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:38.320
just little white meat lies. But
then I had these and I was wrong.
8
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.320
Popeyes bonus wings made me a bonus
believer, and I know I wasn't
9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.479
the only one out there who has
some strong feelings on bonus wings. So
10
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.920
I want to hear what you guys
think. Are you a bone in bro
11
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.119
or a bonus believer? Drop common
below and I have discovered what the sixth
12
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.600
sauce is? Are you ready?
The sixth sauces are classic. I think
13
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.600
that's the one we were missing.
Honey, lemon, pepper, signature,
14
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.519
hot honey, barbecue, sweet and
spicy, and roasted garlic parmesan. Now
15
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.480
I have even better news for you, and this really is not a commercial.
16
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.120
This is just somebody putting together a
comedy podcast. Tomorrow, July sixth
17
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:18.959
is National Fried Chicken Day and press
release. Popeye says they're confident that one
18
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.359
bite of their new Boneless Wings,
endorsed by Jimmy O Yang, is all
19
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.319
it takes to win over skeptics.
Popeyes has set out to connect with thousands
20
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.840
of users on Twitter who had publicly
proclaimed their anti boneless wing beliefs to offer
21
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:36.359
codes redeemable on the Popeye's website and
app for free six piece boneless wings with
22
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.760
any purchase made on the Popeye's website
or app. Now, if you're a
23
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.799
true boneless Wings believer, you can
get some free wings too. That offer
24
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.439
a free six piece boneless wings with
a ten dollars purchase. That's a lot
25
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.000
of money there, Popeyes. How
much food do you think I'm eating?
26
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:56.359
Jeff Klein is president of Popeye's North
America. Jeff says, when planning our
27
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.799
Boneless Wings launch, we noticed a
lot of people have pretty strong opinions about
28
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.040
them, and many claim their minds
can't be changed. We're here to challenge
29
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.959
that prove it. We're giving everyone
a chance to try them on a National
30
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.240
Fried Chicken Day again. Tomorrow,
July sixth is a National Fried Chicken Day.
31
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.280
In other Jimmy O Yang news,
he banned his father from attending his
32
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.039
film premieres after dad embarrassed him too
much. Jimmy's father was at a premiere
33
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.479
and, as Jimmy tells the story, he brought these ray banned glasses.
34
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.479
They're like the old snapchat glasses that
you press a button on the record,
35
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.280
but then a bright light will shine. So in my scene came on in
36
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.759
the movie theater, it was just
a bright flashlight on his face. I'm
37
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.759
like, Dad, what are you
doing? And I ripped the glasses off
38
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.439
him. I'm like, you're committing
a federal crime right now recording at a
39
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.960
movie theater and like embarrassing me.
He's banned. He's done. Jimmy's dad
40
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.120
wants to do stand up. He
wants to do stand up now. I
41
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.120
told him, if you want to
do stand up, go and do some
42
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.680
open mics. That's how everyone starts. And he's like, no, I
43
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.080
do theaters only from sports Kidia,
we have a little nicky Glazer controversy.
44
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.039
This is fun. On June thirtieth, Julia Roberts attend to at Taylor Swift's
45
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.840
Dublin concert. There, Julia Roberts
meets Travis Kelcey. The next day,
46
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.400
Nicki Glazer shares a video on her
Instagram story where Nicky and her parents discussed
47
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.919
the interaction between Julia Roberts and Travis
Kelsey. In the clip, Nicky's mom
48
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.479
can be heard saying of Julia Roberts, she's so groose. Nicky's father chimes
49
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.199
in and says Travis was trying to
get away from Julia Roberts, observing that
50
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.240
the scratching is weird. You see. Nicky's mom, Julie, pointed out
51
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:34.080
that Julia Roberts resting her hands on
Travis Kelsey's chest was weird and equipped that
52
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.080
it appeared as if the actress was
itching the NFL star. Julia and Edward
53
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.960
Glazer issued an apology via Nicky Glazer's
Instagram post, mentioning they wanted to say
54
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.680
the interaction was weird and the word
grosse was mistakingly used. Dave Chappelle will
55
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.280
headline a show next week to benefit
the campaign of US Senate candidate Hill Harper
56
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.479
July eleventh at Saint Andrew's Holland downtown
Detroit, a fundraiser tickets go from two
57
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.520
hundred and fifth fifty bucks for the
balcony to thirty three hundred dollars for those
58
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:08.599
who want to attend a VP reception. Under federal rules, thirty three hundred
59
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.960
dollars is the maximum donation that one
individual can make to a federal candidate per
60
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.879
election cycle. I'm seeing mixed reviews
on Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills cop For the
61
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.399
proper title of that Beverly Hills cop
axel f Eddie was out doing some press.
62
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.519
He told bet even in show business, it wasn't like becoming a singer
63
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.439
or an actor. When I started, it was like being a magician or
64
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.480
a juggler. It was like a
fringe vocation. And now it's mainstream.
65
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.759
Comedy is big, a giant,
multi billion dollar business. Since it was
66
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.839
an interview about comedy, he got
asked about cancel culture. Eddie said,
67
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.000
I don't think the woe cancel culture
has anything to do with whether or not
68
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.360
something is funny, And ultimately,
comedy is either funny where it's not.
69
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.800
And I don't think anyone's going to
get canceled because they said something that was
70
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.879
funny. Usually the things that people
say that ruffle somebody's feathers and start controversial.
71
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.040
Things are really really not funny.
It's like they said something that was
72
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.319
edgy, and a couple of people
might laugh at them, But something that
73
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.560
is really funny, it is what
it is. No one's canceling funny.
74
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.199
You want more, you don't cancel
it. You turned it up. Bert
75
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.160
Kreischer is taping his next special for
Netflix this weekend. He taped one on
76
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:13.000
Wednesday evening. He's taping some more
shows this weekend at the Mahaffe Theater in
77
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.720
Saint Petersburg, Florida. I guess
they're capturing it looks like four shows total.
78
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.160
Watch for the edits when that one
comes out. Brad Williams spoke to
79
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.480
Forbes about whiskey, and he's just
cooler about it than say Jim Gaffigan is.
80
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.079
Brad Williams said, I love whiskey. I love scotch. That was
81
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.079
what I call a frat house drinker. Let's do shots of tequila until I
82
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.040
met my wife and she likes her
scotch smoky and beaty. I thought I
83
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.879
hated scotch. Turns out I just
hated bad scotch and shocker, I'm actually
84
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.279
part owner of a brewery in San
Diego called Thorn Street Brewery. It takes
85
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.839
a genius to figure out where it's
located. Forbes was curious what his first
86
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.439
drink was. Brad said, the
first drink that got me sick was called
87
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.079
ninety nine bananas. That messed me
up because it's like you're drinking candy.
88
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.399
That was in college. I woke
up at a bathtub, thankfully no water.
89
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.839
Also, as a dwarf, I
could spread out in the bathtub.
90
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.600
Random question, ever share a drink
with one of your idols? Fortunately he
91
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.920
had an answer. I'm a lifelong
and die hard Denver Broncos fan. The
92
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.480
John Elway car dealerships were having a
Christmas party and asked if I wanted to
93
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.319
perform. I go, I'm there, and at the end of the show,
94
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.720
John Elway starts the standing ovation.
He was nice to me before,
95
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.279
but after he saw me perform and
now he really wanted to hang out with
96
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.360
me, and we hung out.
Then he goes, what are you doing
97
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.800
tomorrow? You want to come to
the game. My wife was eight and
98
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.040
a half months pregnant, but thankfully
my wife is an amazing woman who just
99
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:30.399
said that's your hero. So I
went to the game and I watched the
100
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.879
Broncos with John Elway. How about
comedy idols, Brad Williams says, one
101
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.920
of the coolest nights of my life. I didn't have a drink with him
102
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.199
because he was sober, but this
is how I got maybe the nicest compliment
103
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.519
I've ever gotten my life. I
did a set at a small club in
104
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.000
northern California. I go backstage and
Robin Williams burst through the green room door
105
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.240
and goes right for me and says, oh my god, mister Williams.
106
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.160
Both Williams a little confusing. I
get it. You're like Prozac with a
107
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.720
head that's going on my gravestone.
The next night, he's doing a show
108
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.079
at the same theater because he lives
up there and that's where he'd go work
109
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:00.000
stuff out. And after the show, I go back to the green room
110
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.519
and there's Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, me, Mort Sahl All talking comedy.
111
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.079
Was the greatest night ever. So
I have been under selling this Alex
112
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.399
Bennett interview that I have scheduled for
tomorrow. On Tuesday night, I cleaned
113
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.279
up the edit and I was like, oh, this is really good.
114
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.319
So I hope you enjoy my conversation
with Alex Bennett. That's the Saturday interview.
115
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.199
Sunday is a normal episode. Glenn
Howard and you know him from It's
116
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.000
Alway Sunny in Philadelphia. He's got
a new role in Netflix's show Sirens.
117
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.040
He will play Ethan Corbin the Second. Also on this Sirens show is Kevin
118
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.720
Bacon. Sirens takes place over a
single weekends set at a fancified beach estate.
119
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.839
Ethan Corbin the Second is described as
a dear friend and next door neighbor
120
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.720
of the lead family who has spent
his life as a roaming bachelor, steadily
121
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.399
burning through his trust fund as a
yacht club regular. Yeah, I can
122
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.279
see Glenn in that role for sure. The Hollywood Reporter did their comedy roundtable.
123
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.720
Jenny Slat said, I could never
audition for the comedy festivals or whatever
124
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.920
because they're like, bring five minutes, and it would just be like,
125
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.800
I don't have that for you.
It's just not what I'm like. I'm
126
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.360
a long distance runner on this one. Jacqueline Novak said, maybe that's why
127
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.120
I didn't internalize my comedy seller opportunity, because when you guys talk about giving
128
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.439
fifteen minutes that you know it works. I'm like, tell me about that
129
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.720
fifteen minutes. I'm like forty six
to lower them men, forty seven minute,
130
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.680
you got them boom, Jenny said. The people have done comedy with
131
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.360
for years will be like, no, Jenny, you can do fifteen minutes.
132
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.040
You just don't. And it's like
yeah, But it feels like if
133
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.600
I do this one bit, then
I'm not going to be able to go
134
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.360
to sleep for three days unless I
do that one bit. But if I
135
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.120
do that one, then I have
to do the other one. So I
136
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.159
don't know. Maybe I have OCD
and that issued comedy news for today.
137
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.360
Go have some wings. Will you
see you tomorrow
