WEBVTT

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.960
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello Shohnny Mack
with your Daily Comedy News. We have

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.439
a top new comedy special of the
year. I'll tell you what it is

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.640
in a second. It is not
Rommy Yusef's new one on HBO Max.

4
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.640
I sat down and watch that Saturday
night. I hate the direction on it.

5
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.079
The director shot at at weird angles. It opens up with Rommy in

6
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:34.200
profile with the spotlight right in the
viewer's face. It was really annoying.

7
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.359
Then even when you get to a
more traditional angle, it's tight shots.

8
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.520
You can't really see the crowd.
It's Rommy against a black backdrop with light

9
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.560
shining. I couldn't focus on his
material at all. I'm not saying it

10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.560
wasn't good or anything, but after
like I don't know ten minutes, I

11
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.399
was like, I don't even want
to look at this. So maybe the

12
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.320
material is funny, but that is
not making the end of the year list.

13
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.799
One that is Brian Simpson Live from
the mother Ship. You'll find that

14
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.320
on Netflix. It's very funny.
How I saw a bunch of listeners in

15
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.200
the Daily Comedy News podcast group raving
about that one. It's really funny.

16
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.319
It's probably fifteen minutes too long.
Somewhere over the weekend, I was listening

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.840
to David Tell I think he was
talking with Maren and how, Dave special

18
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.920
that's coming out this week is about
thirty seven minutes. I think he said,

19
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.840
maybe it's me. Just because of
what I do for a living,

20
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.480
I do find a lot of these
specials. I'm kind of done and there's

21
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.840
fifteen minutes left, And that's what
happened with Brian. I was like,

22
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.640
all right, this was really enjoyable, but can we move on here?

23
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.319
But the uh wow, the best
special of the year. I was laughing

24
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.040
my hats off. I don't know
if anything's gonna top this. Just for

25
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.560
laughs, Triumph the insult comic dog
You Lucky Bastards on YouTube. I was

26
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.280
raving it. I texted everyone in
my family, you gotta watch this.

27
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.079
I sent it to friends, you
gotta watch this. My daughter came home

28
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.480
and I made her stare at the
last twenty minutes of it. I was

29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.719
laughing. It is hilarious. So
let's check the updated rankings for best comedy

30
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.719
specials of twenty twenty four. Number
one, Tryumph, You Lucky Bastards to

31
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.079
David Cross, I like that special. Lot three is Dusty Slay. You'll

32
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.199
find that on Netflix, the Crosses
on YouTube, then a bit of a

33
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.919
gap. Brian Simpson and Taylor Tomlinson
are the other two on my list.

34
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.759
Those will wind up by the end
of the year. Those will fall down

35
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.599
to the high teens as more things
come out and get between three and four.

36
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.199
But Triumph Cross and Dusty Slayer are
my top three right now. Not

37
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.360
on the list romy Yusef beat Davidson. I forgot that even happened. That

38
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.560
was terrible. Jackie Novak, Kevin
James, Rory Scovel, Don l Rawlings,

39
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.520
Jenny Slat not on my list.
As you know. I had a

40
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.479
terrible week last week and it's just
getting worse. Listen to this. I

41
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.560
don't know what the fate is doing
to me. Adam Sandler, Yeah,

42
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.159
he's making a sequel to Happy Gilmore. I mean, life's hard enough,

43
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.000
Adam, what are you doing?
Christopher McDonald of from the original film said,

44
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.520
I saw Adam about two weeks ago
and he says to me, McDonald,

45
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.120
you're gonna love this. I said
what he says, how about that?

46
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.639
And he shows me the first draft
of Happy Gilmore. Two sources say

47
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.000
the project will be for Netflix.
Well, of course it will. They

48
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.240
have a big deal together. Reps
for Adam Sandler had no comment. The

49
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:14.599
original grossed over eighty two million dollars
worldwide. Stephen Colbert in some trouble with

50
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:20.639
the pseudo royals Rose Hanbury. She's
been rumored to be friends with one of

51
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.520
the royals. I don't want to
get sued here, but lawyers for the

52
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.960
former model Lady Rose Hanbury have confirmed
that they sent the legal notice to The

53
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.560
Late Show with Stephen Colbert in response
to jokes that Colbert made earlier this month.

54
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.240
Colbert joked that Prince William was having
an affair with Lady Rose Hanbury,

55
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.639
which is not funny at all.
He's clearly not I'm not sure how this

56
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.400
is going to work legally. Colbert
is clearly a comedian making jokes. Who

57
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.479
knows. The royal stuff's been amazing. I'm the writer on the podcast Palace

58
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.840
Intrigue, and boy the numbers are
the numbers are higher than they were when

59
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.280
the Queen passed away. I thought
that was going to be peak Royals,

60
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:01.479
but Kate Gate has been unbelievable.
Entry Griver Gear Show Seth Myers is taping

61
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.360
a new special at the VIC Theater
in Chicago Great Venue June fifteenth. It

62
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.120
is unclear where this special will land. His previous special was on Netflix.

63
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.319
I'll take a guest here. Peacock
Great NBC seth Myers, Lord Michael was

64
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.879
maybe involved. That'd be my guest, but what do I know. Tiffany

65
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.839
Hattish has revealed that she's been sober
for more than two months. She was

66
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.079
on The Conversation podcast and said I
haven't drinked any alcohol, smoked anywheat or

67
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.480
anything in like seventy two days.
You may recall she had some adventures that

68
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.240
made this podcast. Last year.
On Saturday, I sat down in the

69
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:41.120
Sleepy Cheer, was playing the MLB
the show Game had some podcasts playing.

70
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:46.839
Kyle Kanaan was on the Last Laugh
podcast and Kyle has been super interesting.

71
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.560
Oh, I forgot. He's also
on Blocks with Neil Brennan. I forgot

72
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.800
to pull a clip from that.
I will do that maybe for tomorrow or

73
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.319
the next day. But Kyle Kanane
on the Last Laugh podcast. Here he

74
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.480
is talking about Netflix. I assume
the comedians he's mentioning here are the Bearded

75
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.560
Bird crazier and does Tom siguor have
a beard. Yes he does, of

76
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.279
course he does. I just looked
him up and I'm like, oh,

77
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.439
yeah, that's what Tom Sgur looks
like. I don't know why I couldn't

78
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.959
remember there tired, nobody's knocking down
my door. You know, Netflix isn't

79
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.600
like, you know what we need
is another guy with a beard. They

80
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.360
got, they got their They got
their dudes. They got their bearded white

81
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:28.040
dudes over there that aren't and also
aren't touching on political points, you know,

82
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.000
So they got they got their guys. Next clip, but like this

83
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.079
one a lot. Kyle Kaneen on
the Last Left podcast talking about where comedy

84
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.639
is now, and I think he
nailed it. The comedy got away from

85
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.759
the comedy part for a little bit, thank you, Hannah Gatsby. But

86
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.000
there's a lot of comedy now,
Like I was saying, like where people

87
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.680
want somebody in the end of the
story they're winners. There's a lot of

88
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.079
kind of like more let's say Alpha
comedy and like bro comedy and like and

89
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.680
that's it's wildly popular right now,
and that's great. It's not the thing

90
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:01.560
that I do. But also there's
there's good and bad and every iteration of

91
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.399
comedy, like my my thing was
in the twenty tens, and it was

92
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.120
when alt comedy was really ride and
high at the end of the first decade

93
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.160
and beginning a second dec decade of
the century, which is weird to speak

94
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.399
like that, but it was like
all comedy, and there was some that

95
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.240
was the stuff that I loved and
appreciate it. I don't necessarily, I

96
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.399
don't think I do all comedy,
but that's what I liked, was being

97
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.160
very honest about yourself and and that
kind abused by so many hack alt comics

98
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.240
of like, oh, I can
just talk about my mental illness without any

99
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:38.639
punchlines. And his third and final
clip that I've pulled is about thirty second

100
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.959
comedians. You know, people that
have one good clip that goes viral on

101
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.399
TikTok and suddenly they have Netflix specials. You know that kind of comedian.

102
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.680
I'm with you on this, Kyle, the thirty to thirty second clips,

103
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.000
like the kind of disposable, consumable
fast food of comedy. Right now,

104
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.600
that's fine, that's you know,
if if your thirty second clip gets you

105
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.079
a million followers on social media and
you sell tickets and then the people that

106
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.240
bought those those tickets saw uce a
good hour from you. Fantastic. You

107
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:12.240
did a great job, you used
the available marketing, and you are still

108
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.759
a great comic. If you got
a thirty second clips and then your hour

109
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.800
sucks, I don't know if anybody's
gonna come see you the next time you

110
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.800
do an hour, So you've you
dug your own grave with that one.

111
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.920
But well, yeah, Or if
you're a seventy second clip gets you a

112
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.000
Netflix special that's an hour and you
can't deliver on it, But then that's

113
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.160
a that's a problem too. Yeah, I mean there is something to knowing.

114
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.160
I mean, you have these vultures
that exist in showbiz that's like,

115
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.680
oh, you're just hot right now, so let's let's squeeze you till we

116
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.199
can't get any more dollars out of
you, and you will be disposed of.

117
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.319
You will be run through by a
manager or an agent being like,

118
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.360
he doesn't have an hour, he
sucks that stand up, but his YouTube

119
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:57.560
characters are great. Book them on
the road fifty dollars tickets and once that

120
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.279
number starts going down, your phone
calls will be returned. I also listened

121
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.000
to Davitel on Mark Marin. They
were really in their groove there, so

122
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.000
you might want to check that one
out. I see a tell Is on

123
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.519
Rogan. I haven't had a chance
to check that out. I mean,

124
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.519
I can only sit in the sleepy
chair and play video games for so long

125
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.279
I am an adult at some point. The Moontower Comedy Festival will take place

126
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:24.079
from April tenth through the twenty first
is unclear to me. So moon Tower

127
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.480
is just for laughs, Moontower,
and we saw the Montreal festival went sideways

128
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.159
and I'm not seeing any just for
laugh branding on the Moontwer website. Now,

129
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.440
this was a successful festival in the
past, and then it became jfl

130
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.519
Moontower, so I don't know where
that relationship is right now. Regardless,

131
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.039
the festival will be coming up.
Jane Gillis, you know he was canceled.

132
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.519
Now he's not canceled at all.
He's headlining the festival. Ronnie Chang

133
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.159
and Tim Robinson will also perform.
Andrew Schultz will beat the Moody Center,

134
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.039
Margaret Chow, Nicole Bayer, Tim
Robinson and if I click on here on

135
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.320
this little graphic they made to see
who they're spotlighting. All right, Well,

136
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.000
You can always tell who they find
important by the font. So big

137
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.080
font Andrew Schultz, Shane Gillis,
Ronnie Chang, Tim Robinson, they get

138
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.799
the big font, next biggest font, Amy Sedaris or A Shaffer, Brad

139
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.519
Williams, Darcy and Jerr Remember I
had them on last year. They were

140
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.639
fun, Desi Banks, Frankie Kenioniis, Jeff Ross, Jo Para, Kathy

141
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.440
Griffin. Love It or Leave It? Mark Marin, Margaret chow Er,

142
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.639
big Lea, Miss Patt, Nicole
Bayer, Rachel Bloom, Roywood Junior,

143
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.519
Sarah Sherman and Chloe Feyneman as one
show the State first Bueller's Day Off presented

144
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.000
by Alan Ruck. Surprise, Mark
Maren's not in a bigger font there,

145
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.679
So then we go down to font
size three. I'm not going to read

146
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.120
all these names. Let me skim
it here, Andy Kindler, Bruce McCullough,

147
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:50.360
James Adomian, Natalie Palamides. Who's
fantastic If you're Eisenberg, Rachel Finstein,

148
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.240
Rosebud Baker, Todd Barry, see
Todd Barry should be in bigger font

149
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.799
as well. Then there's an even
smaller font. This is like an eye

150
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.159
test, I tell you to even
read this, I have to hit control

151
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.200
plus plus on my mac. Here
is to get to font size four.

152
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.799
Let's say, who's buried in funt
size four that we've heard of? Blair

153
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.399
Zochi, Jaye Jorden, Genny Zigrino, and a bunch of others who were

154
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.360
in font size four. I think
Natzaro as a special out tomorrow that went

155
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.960
on Amazon. She was asked who
in her peer group makes her laugh the

156
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.759
most. She said a Parna Naturla, also her podcast co host Fortune Fimester

157
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.440
and May Martin. Chris Fairbanks is
one of the funniest people live. We

158
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.120
were almost legally married because our roommate
situation went on for ten years. And

159
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.799
there's nobody like Maria Bamford. When
I see her, I just think what

160
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.960
am I doing? What made me
think I could do comedy? Advice If

161
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.159
you want to get into comedy right
now, you have to make sure you're

162
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.200
playing every vibe save spaces though you
don't want to put yourself in harm's way.

163
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.200
I've done everything. It was a
preacher in southern California who booked me

164
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.000
on a tour of churches. I
was like, I'm not religious and I'm

165
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.840
gay. He thought it was hilarious
and tell me I could say whatever I

166
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.440
want, but I've done it open
MIC's at a Taco stan, a laundromat,

167
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.360
and still not too proud to do
any kind of show. I did

168
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.000
a vegan benefit in someone's living room
two nights ago. The man who was

169
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.240
sentenced to jail time for attacking Dave
Chappelle will soon be released. The man

170
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.679
has been in custody since May twenty
twenty two. Remember this was that the

171
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.320
Netflix as a Joke festival and the
man went up on stage, and I

172
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.320
remembering Chris Rock and Jamie Fox were
involved somehow, meaning defending Chappelle. I

173
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.360
don't want to make it sound like
Jimmie Fox attack Dave Chappelle. The man

174
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.639
will be conditionally released to a recovery
center. Tracy Morgan was on the Tonight

175
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.120
Show joking about ozempic that's the weight
loss drug, and Tracy said, I

176
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.320
out ate ozempic. I'm like Magic
Johnson. I gained forty pounds. He

177
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.440
said. The daily injections cut my
appetite in half. I only eat half

178
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.279
a bag of Dorito's. There's a
new episode of The Weekly Comedy Thing.

179
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.200
That's the show I host on the
Live one app. It's kind of like

180
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.000
this except by talk less, and
I can play a lot more clips for

181
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.240
you on this week's show, Ian
Carmel, Mike, Vicky and Brad Williams,

182
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.440
Arishfier, Andrew Santino, Craig Ferguson, and a bunch of others including

183
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.320
Norm McDonald. So I was listening
back to the playback. I listened not

184
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.519
because I have a huge I want
to make sure there are no mistakes in

185
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.879
the show, and I was listening
to my half ass Norm McDonald, which

186
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.360
is not too bad up against real
Norm McDonald, and I realized my vals

187
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.919
have to get better. I slip
into a bit of Queen's and I have

188
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.639
to get a little more Canadian when
I slip in a half assed Norm.

189
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.399
I will work on that. There
are several ways to support this show.

190
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.440
This week. I'm going to push
the two dollars Club. So what you

191
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.320
do is you go to buy mecoffee
dot com slash Daily Comedy News, you

192
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.480
join the two dollar Club, you
sign up, you totally forget about it,

193
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.639
and then like ten years from now, you're like, wait, I've

194
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.639
been giving Johnny mac two dollars a
month for ten years. Yeah, that's

195
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.720
works. Maybe a little less cynical
than that. But if you want to

196
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.879
join the two dollar club, you
know, if a million people do that,

197
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.360
I'll be making two million dollars a
month on this podcast. The other

198
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.200
thing I'm pushing is my substack.
I'm not trying to make any money off

199
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.919
the substack. It's just a thing
where I write my media thoughts. The

200
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.759
link is in the show notes,
but it's mcdeepod dot substack dot com.

201
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.360
In case you don't know, my
name is John mc dermott. Even though

202
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.960
it's my name, the N into
the m is hard to say John McDermott,

203
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.960
which is why I just say Johnny
macketts a lot easier. But mcdeepod

204
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.039
dot substack dot com. Sign up. It'll be like, hey, do

205
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:11.559
you want to donate. You don't
have to do it, sign up for

206
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.879
the free version. I just want
to people to read my thoughts. That's

207
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.720
all that's about, all right.
The Melbourne Comedy Festival. I'm confused here.

208
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.039
If you go to Melbourne International Comedy
Festival, it says it starts March

209
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.200
twenty seventh, today's March twenty fifth, and there are shows tomorrow. So

210
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.360
This is why I'm unprepared. I
was ready to do this starting March twenty

211
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.080
sixth. Actually, because of the
way time zones work. In case somebody

212
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.919
is listening in Melbourne, I have
to stay East Coast at US a day

213
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.960
in advance. Otherwise they'll be like, wait, you're telling me about shows

214
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.120
that are three hours ago. Did
I explain that right? Just look up

215
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.879
out time zones or whatever time it
is where you are. Now, look

216
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.279
up what time it is in Melbourne. It's tomorrow. It's like eighteen hours

217
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.480
in front of you. But this
is big festival March twenty seventh through April

218
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.600
twenty first, and by March twenty
seventh the Australians mean March twenty sixth.

219
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.559
So let's see who's playing on Tuesday
in Milburn. Okay, everybody understands what

220
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:07.480
we mean by today. So it's
Tuesday, Tuesday, March twenty sixth in

221
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.879
Melbourne. And boy, this website's
confusing. I pulled down the March twenty

222
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.120
six dropped down and now it's telling
me March twenty fifth, but there are

223
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.039
no shows March twenty fifth. Come
on, get it together. This is

224
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.919
a big show. There's probably twenty
different things. I'm not gonna read all

225
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.320
of these every day. See what
catches my eye? How about groundhog Day

226
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.519
the musical? No gimmick here.
You are familiar with the movie groundhog Day,

227
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.519
That but a musical. Yep.
Phil Connors is sent to cover the

228
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.399
annual Groundhog Day event. And it's
groundhog Day and you know what happens one

229
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.399
hundred and fifty minutes at the Princess
Theater at the Butterfly Club, Murder Village

230
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.559
and improvised Who's done It? That's
fun? At nine o'clock, Steph Broadbridge's

231
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.120
best dog joke ever. At nine
to forty five, Elliot McLaren's Memoirs of

232
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.080
a Methhead Chapter one. Usually they
have clips that I can share with you,

233
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.440
but they don't seem to have any
amp yet. Some things I could

234
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.559
bump from last week from the Late
Nighter website. That is a really good

235
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.080
website talking about the late night shows. John Stewart paying dividends for the Daily

236
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.879
Show. They've now passed the eleven
million subscriber mark on YouTube. Compare that

237
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:13.159
to Jimmy Fallon with thirty one and
a half million subscribers and Kimmel nineteen point

238
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.480
three. The Daily Show has seven
million subscribers. On TikTok, Fallon has

239
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.480
nineteen point nine going back to the
week of March eleventh. Apparently the Daily

240
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.759
Show without John Stewart not working as
well as they hoped. The March eleventh

241
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:33.639
episode hosted by John Stewart average nearly
two million total viewers. The week averaged

242
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.440
out to five hundred and forty seven
thousand total viewers. So I'm not going

243
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.039
to do the math here, but
I'm sure if you take that two million

244
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.720
out, it's dragging up that five
to forty seven a little bit. Yikes.

245
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.320
Hannah Gatsby, she is on the
cover of Rolling Stone down Under.

246
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:52.240
She'll be on the Australia New Zealand
to cover for the March to May issue,

247
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.600
and I said, it was never
my dream to be on Rolling Stone

248
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.120
magazine, certainly not the cover.
But why would you bother dreaming about something

249
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.840
that's highly unlikely? And ready is
a special Autistic Bikini Queen is out on

250
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.440
Netflix that came out over the weekend. Ian Carmel taped on Saturday night.

251
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.679
He'll have a new special coming out. He also has a memoir called The

252
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.399
T Shirt Swim Club. It's a
journey through the lifetime of being fat.

253
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.919
He went from four hundred and twenty
pounds to something a neighborhood of two thirty,

254
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.639
back up to two forty, back
down to two twenty three, back

255
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.000
up to two fifty, back down
to two thirty. His new show's about

256
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.799
confronting getting older and all the fun
stuff. I was a pretty wild dude

257
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.360
for a long time in terms of
drugs, alcohol, partying and living,

258
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.279
so I couldn't conceive of a world
where I lived till fifty. I don't

259
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.759
think it was a conscious thought.
But now I'm realizing I've treated my body

260
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.240
very poorly, and being on the
other side of that, I'm looking at

261
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.240
life and all the other things about
aging, like not being able to party

262
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:44.679
anymore. And from Scotland. Last
week, the front cover of the Herald

263
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.200
Scotland, the world's oldest national newspaper, reported the police have been told to

264
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.080
target comics under a new hate crime
law. Police training seen by the newspaper

265
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.000
informed officers the material which can be
deemed as threatening and abusive under the Hate

266
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.919
crime and Public order can be communicated
through public performance of a play. Comedian

267
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.440
Andrew Doyle said the best response to
the Scottish national parties, and new hate

268
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.400
crime bill is surely it's a mucket
and that intu comedy news for today.

269
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.279
Last night, Kevin Hart was at
the More Twain thingy, so we'll talk

270
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.200
about that tomorrow. If you enjoy
the program, tell a friend about it.

271
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:18.720
They might like it. To see
it then
