1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.720
Callaroga Shark Media. I'll tell you all, this has been

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.439
pretty busy. There's a lot of news. The episodes have

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.399
been a little longer, and I've been squirreling stuff away

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.719
because i know Labor Day comes and it kind of dips.

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.480
But there's a lot going on today. Be a little

6
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.000
long again and it's good. Hi. I'm Johnny Mack with

7
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.679
your daily comedy news. Jeff Goldbloom sat in for Jimmy

8
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:28.559
Kimmel last week and said, according to a new study,

9
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.879
cigarette smoking in America is the lowest that it's been

10
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.359
in eighty years. The study was funded by the world

11
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.359
renowned Institute of Vaping. Is actually healthy and cool as hell,

12
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.560
Jimmy Fallon said. Ahead of the Democratic National Convention, Kamala

13
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.880
Harrison Tim Walls are taking a bus tour together through

14
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.439
Pennsylvania and this is interesting. It's the same bus that

15
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.240
Democrats through President Biden under That's pretty good. Don't forget

16
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.079
to follow the Ballots podcast. We're live from the DNC

17
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.679
all this week making fun of everything, so check that out.

18
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.359
Fun one from the Daily Mail. Remember Terry Sandel was

19
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.240
in Australia and he got heckled and he said, how this,

20
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.320
I'll screw up. Jim Jeffries at a show in New York.

21
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.760
If it works to solve the Gaza's crisis, then it'll

22
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.280
work to help First Nations people well. Jim Jeffries was

23
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.439
asked about it by some TV hosts, specifically the Kyle

24
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.120
and Jackie O Show. Jim says he's never met Seinfeld,

25
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.879
which is weird because I've met Seinfeld and the pair

26
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.280
have mutual friends. Jim said, I don't know if he

27
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.640
meant that as a threat, but I'm so up for that.

28
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.159
Jim joked, if I were halfway through a show in

29
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:27.959
New York and I was being heckled in the heckler

30
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.159
was Jerry Seinfeld talking about aboriginals. The rest of his

31
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.400
comments were bleeped out of the broadcast. Jeffries says he

32
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.159
has no problem with a public beef, explained that a

33
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.000
heckler at one of his shows in Perth that'd be

34
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.640
removed by security. He's saying Trump fans don't have a

35
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.560
sense of humor. Trump fans don't have a sense of

36
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.159
humor about Trump. One of the hosts asked why Jim

37
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.560
Jeffries isn't voting for Trump. He says because it makes

38
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.640
it harder for comedians. He makes it harder for us.

39
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.159
All speaking of Trump, Sarah Cooper, Remember Sarah Cooper, She

40
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.040
was on TikTok and would pantomime to Donald Trump and

41
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.239
I would kind of eye roll that and people got

42
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.159
really mad at me. And then she got a Netflix

43
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.040
special and then she kind of like came around and

44
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.519
was actually really good in the Jerry Seinfeld on Frosted movie.

45
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.560
Remember Sarah Cooper, who's really good in the Unfrosted movie. Well,

46
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.639
she's back on TikTok and she's back to pantomiming Donald Trump.

47
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.639
I shared a clip in the Facebook group. Did you

48
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.240
hear me? When I saw the group? Did you hear

49
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.159
me from your house going are you kidding me? And

50
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.719
such words? Did you hear me screaming into the universe

51
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.840
with this? Sarah Cooper back on TikTok pantomiming to Donald Trump.

52
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.240
All right, if you follow the Facebook group, which is

53
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.599
Daily Comedy News podcast group, or if you follow me

54
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.080
on threads at Daily Comedy News, where I've been hanging

55
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.120
out a little bit, you heard me mention mystery embargoed

56
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.639
special that I liked a lot. I will now reveal

57
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.960
it to you. It is James Adomian's Path of Most

58
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.919
Resistance and good News. It's on the eight hundred Pound

59
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.080
Gorilla website now. If you want to watch it now,

60
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.120
or if you want to keep your walle closed, wait

61
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.120
until September nineteenth and you can watch it on YouTube.

62
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.719
It is fantastic. I was really into it. I laughed

63
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.759
out loudlol, as the kids say. Now, I was venting

64
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.800
to one of the listeners on a side conversation. One

65
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.439
hundred percent of the time. I don't mean ninety nine

66
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.719
percent of the time. One hundred percent of the time.

67
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.199
If I put on a comedy special, my wife shows

68
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.280
up halfway through it, and then I have to pause

69
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:14.759
it and talk to her, and then I can never

70
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.879
get back into the specials anyway. James Adomian one of

71
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.240
the top specials of the year. I'll give you an

72
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.520
updated list in a second. Also one of the top

73
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.120
specials of the year. Matt Rife his new crowd Work special.

74
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.479
I liked it a lot. I commented in the various

75
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.960
socials again Daily Coming to News podcast group and Daily

76
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.919
Coming News on threads. It's funny. I went into it

77
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.199
probably like, Eh, this is gonna suck. I'm gonna last

78
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.840
four minutes, and then I watch something. No, it's funny.

79
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.960
Is it high art? No, it's not trying to be

80
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.520
high art. Sometimes things can just be fun, and this

81
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.639
is just fun for an hour, and I felt like

82
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.400
I was hanging out in a club and caught a

83
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.800
comic on a good night. You could see Rife is

84
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.159
naturally funny. He's quick. The special moves along. Your wife

85
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.919
shows up forty seven minutes into it and you have

86
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:58.680
to hit pause, and maybe you don't enjoy the last

87
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.360
fourteen minutes as much as she did the first forty seven.

88
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.360
That could happen to you. But Matt Rife Special liked

89
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.199
it a lot. I'll give you the updated listener a second.

90
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.800
The Daily Beast wrote one of eight trillion Matt Rife

91
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.360
articles that came out. They write, Rife seemingly wants a

92
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.960
do over of his poorly received debut, returning to his

93
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.120
roots as a CrowdWork comedian. The entire special centered around

94
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.600
the concept of dreams, hence its title lucid. Bizarrely, Rife

95
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.839
never actually brings up the topic of lucid dreaming, and

96
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.800
said he asked questions around ideas of aspiration, literal dreaming,

97
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.759
and failed chances. While at times it does provide some

98
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.959
cohesion and miss a style of comedy that lends itself

99
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.720
to a more scattered approach, it also restricts him at times,

100
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.399
making it seem more like a live poll ar Q

101
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.279
and a session than a comedy show. Yeah. No, it

102
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.160
definitely feels like a Q and a session after a

103
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.160
proper set on that. One of the big falls of

104
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.680
crowd Work, they write, is that it relies on stereotypes,

105
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.000
with comedians forced to make snap judgments based on limited interactions.

106
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.920
This is a trap Rife falls into. At the starting.

107
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.439
It compares one of the only black men in the

108
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.319
audience to Cam Newton and makes another joke about another

109
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.240
man's queerness. I'll comment there without spoiling there is a

110
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.560
joke where he's talking to a crowd member and she

111
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.879
mentions her age, and Rife slams that one home. There's

112
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.160
also a joke that I think this article is referring

113
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.079
to here about quote another man's queerness, and I think

114
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.040
Rife slammed that joke home. Both those lines that I'm

115
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.680
trying not to spoil got big laughs out of me,

116
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.800
So I disagree here with the Daily Beasts. They write,

117
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.720
He's still reliant on a lot of the low blows

118
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.560
that have helped him become viral on TikTok. He us

119
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.000
the stereotypes in mockery, but this time he seems less

120
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.879
afraid to mock himself too. It's pretty good, all right.

121
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.000
Let's take a look at the updated list of best

122
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.360
of twenty twenty four. I haven't done this in a while.

123
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.000
Number one, the best thing of the year is the

124
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.079
roast of Tom Brady. Number two David Tail's Hot Cross

125
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.439
Buns that's on Netflix. Three Triumphs, you lucky bastards. That

126
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.639
reminds me have to watch the new triumph that came out.

127
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.319
That one is on YouTube. Number four is David Cross's

128
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.480
Worst Daddy in the World YouTube. And I have in

129
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:56.240
my parentheses here laughed exclamation point and as you know,

130
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.680
I'm a psychopath, doesn't laugh at comedy specials. Number five

131
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.560
making its debut at number five, James Adomian's Path of

132
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.160
Most Resistance currently on the eight hundred pound Goerilla site.

133
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.720
Six is Dusty Sleigh that's on Netflix. Kyle Kinane on YouTube,

134
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.399
Dirt and app. At seven, Matt Rife making its chart

135
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.480
to debut at number eight. Lucid on Netflix. Just discussed

136
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.720
Sam Morrel's You've Changed on Amazon at nine. To Meet

137
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.319
You Martin on Netflix at ten. Jimmy Carr is a

138
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.199
national born Killers at eleven. That's the end of the

139
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.279
top tier. I won't do the whole list today because

140
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:27.920
I got a million things to talk about, and that's

141
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.600
plenty to give you to watch. Speaking of crowd work,

142
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.279
from eight hundred Pound Gorilla again, they're covering Andrew Santino.

143
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.600
They write, crowd work has taken on a whole new life.

144
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.480
Blah blah blah. To dress this higher matter, Comedian, actor,

145
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.879
and podcaster Andrew Santino shared a message about CrowdWork at

146
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.839
comedy shows ahead of his upcoming headlining tour. In a

147
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.959
sketch turned promo, Andrew Santino pokes fun at crowd work

148
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.319
and gives an important reason why you shouldn't be worried

149
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.560
about attending one of Andrew Santino's shows this fall. In

150
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.000
the clip, he poses as an alter ego version of

151
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.480
a stand up doing crowd work in today's comedy scene.

152
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.160
Before fumbling with his own jokes that intended to appear cheap,

153
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.279
He starts doing CrowdWork by poking at one guy in

154
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.839
a bandana, but then he mostly pokes a fun at

155
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.560
himself when he says to the normal looking Santino, what's

156
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.279
up with this ginger ash bitch? Nice hair bitch? Hey,

157
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.560
I bet you this redheaded guy puts on sunscreen at

158
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.800
night and calls him an orange sickle. Then, after leaving

159
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.839
the Hollywood improv in La, the normal looking Santino quickly

160
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.199
sees himself getting crowd worked on TikTok almost instantaneously after

161
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.680
leaving the show. Then we see that guy's life start

162
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.600
to fall apart as his girlfriend leaves him, saying the

163
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.920
viral clip was embarrassing for her. He gets let go

164
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.240
from his job. At the end, we see him considering

165
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.439
it was something horrible. We don't want to joke about that.

166
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.439
That's not funny. At the end, the real Andrew Santino

167
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.519
appears and says at the end, come see me on tour.

168
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.040
I promise I won't do any crowd work so much

169
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.439
to get to today, Let's keep going. In the Facebook

170
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.480
group Dylan, who's one of the regulars, he commented on

171
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.399
I guess it was Thursday's show last week and commented

172
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.079
on my comments, saying, this is Dylan speaking. Interesting take

173
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.360
this morning on who is the queen of comedy, I'd

174
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.680
argue it's Taylor Thomas, and it's not close. Network show

175
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.399
sells out everywhere. She prefers smaller venues to basketball arenas,

176
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.959
but is routinely selling out five thousand seed arenas. Her

177
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.319
last three specials have all been great. Nikki Glazer is

178
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.519
riding the high the Brady Roast where she was amazing,

179
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.240
but her special was mediocre by comparison, and it's just

180
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.560
now beginning to consistently headline theaters. Until very recently, she's

181
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.839
mostly still doing the clubs or featuring for somebody like

182
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.759
Krascher or Spade. Granted it was not your typical feature.

183
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.839
She did forty minutes when I saw her open for Spade,

184
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.839
but that's a long way from selling out several nights

185
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.839
in a row three thousand and five thousand seat venues,

186
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.360
as Taylor's done for most of this year. You know,

187
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.600
it's the Internet. I know I'm supposed to go, no, Dylan,

188
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.240
You're stupid. That's a horrible thing. But my real reaction is,

189
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.039
you know what, Dylan's right, You know that what I

190
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.679
was doing that nicky thing. I had this nagging sensation

191
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.480
that I was forgetting somebody, and apparently I forgot Taylor

192
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.240
Tomlinson shifting gears. This is not funny at all. Victoria

193
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.240
Jackson remember her from Saturday Night Live. She has delivered

194
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.320
a somber message to her followers. She was on SNL

195
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.759
from eighty six to ninety two. She says she has

196
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.879
about three years to live. She had previously survived breast cancer.

197
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.000
She put out a video which she titled is the

198
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.799
Cancer Back, And she said they can't operate and cut

199
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.639
out the marble in my chest that's laying on my

200
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.000
windpipe and eventually would suffocate me to death. They're giving

201
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.919
me a magic pill meant to shrink the marble. Jackson

202
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.960
is sixty five and explain that online research showed her

203
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.480
that people taking the drug typically have thirty two point

204
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.320
six months to live or quote something like that. Eugene

205
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.000
and Dan Levy will host the Emmys on September fifteenth.

206
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.799
They were hoping to get Jimmy Kimmel. He doesn't want

207
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.799
to do the Oscars. Langston Kerman, as a special out

208
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.519
tomorrow on Netflix, talked about the influence of John mullaney

209
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.480
on his career. They had spent some time on the

210
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.639
road during mullani's tour. Langston said it wasn't much of

211
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.759
a deep analysis of my jokes or punching up or

212
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.559
fixing as much as it was just hanging out and

213
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:47.960
him checking in to see the status of things. When

214
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.639
the time came to find a director for the special,

215
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.720
Langston flowed some names and m'laney volunteered to do it himself.

216
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.120
Bad Boetry was filmed at Chicago's Green Mill, with about

217
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.039
one hundred people in the audience in a stage set

218
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.960
behind the bar. Mulani cause the look of the special

219
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.360
ridiculously funny. Kerman said he did not want to emulate

220
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.360
particularly hyper intimate, more confessional type specials like as He's

221
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.960
and Sorry or Gerard Carmichael. Kerman jokes about heckling amateur

222
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.039
softball players while on Shrouom's I hop Icon Encounters hating

223
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.039
his former students. He was a teacher. Yeah, I had

224
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.039
him on last year. If you want to go back,

225
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.799
probably last July, if you want to go way back

226
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:23.759
in the feed, he was cool at the unending glee

227
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.039
he gets from screening dating site potentials for his mother

228
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.240
in law. Will there be more of Everybody's in La,

229
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.519
in which Langston Kerman was a writer. Langston said had

230
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.840
Netflix asked for more than the original six episodes, he

231
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.759
would have wept in front of his wife and child,

232
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.960
but he believes they could have found a way. Langston

233
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.159
Kerman's Bad Poetry, directed by John Mulaney tomorrow on Netflix.

234
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.080
Rob Schneider has apologized to his daughter Ellie King following

235
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.759
her criticism of him. There's been some back and forth.

236
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.840
Rob told Tucker Carlson that he hopes she will forgive him.

237
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.200
Last week, King had said that Schneider wasn't involved in

238
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.639
her life growing up up. King said, right now, we're

239
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.159
not flowing. I disagree with a lot of things. He says. Ultimately,

240
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.159
you can't control anyone else's actions. You can't control people's feelings.

241
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.720
All you can control is how you react to what

242
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.320
you do with your feelings. Schneider told Tucker Carlson, I

243
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.840
just want to tell my daughter I love you, and

244
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.399
I wish I was the father in my twenties that

245
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.240
you needed. I clearly wasn't, and I hope you can

246
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.000
forgive me for my shortcomings. I love you completely. I

247
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:20.519
love you entirely, and I just want you to be

248
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.320
well and happy with your beautiful baby Lucky. I wish

249
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.159
you the best. I feel terrible, and I just want

250
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:26.879
you to know I don't take anything you say personally.

251
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.440
I love you, and I feel that God has gifted

252
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.039
me this moment be able to tell you I love

253
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.600
you and I accept you, and I apologize for any

254
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.159
of my shortcomings. My heart is your home, and home

255
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.519
is a place that when you go there, they have

256
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.200
to let you in. I love you and I'm sorry

257
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.679
you're having to deal with this. But this is a

258
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.120
great opportunity because we could talk about families. I mean,

259
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.279
show me a perfect family out there, and I'll be shocked.

260
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.000
All I want for her is to be happy and

261
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.600
to heal from this. I apologize completely for and accept

262
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:49.639
responsibility for not being the parent that I am now

263
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:51.320
with my new kids. She didn't get that and I

264
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.679
missed a lot. I do want to get some fringe

265
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.360
reviews in this week fringes over on the Weekend Chortle

266
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.320
gave Pete Heat's bogus three stars out of five, apparently

267
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:02.879
in one of the hottest rooms at the Fringe, and

268
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.120
they don't mean like Hey, everybody wants to go there.

269
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.120
They mean it's hot because they write, which can't be

270
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.559
doing wonders for appreciation of his craft. For some reason,

271
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.320
it's a lot harder to be astounded when you've got

272
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.759
sweat running down your back. Plus the guy's name is Heat.

273
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:19.120
That's extra funny. Heat's bag is magic tricks, mostly card tricks,

274
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.759
interspersed with comedy routines, both of which are performed to

275
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.080
a fairly higher standard, although the show is slightly less

276
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.879
than the sum of its parts. He's a perfect foil

277
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.360
for a casual audience, but I'm likely to knock out

278
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.159
aficionado's of either art form. The Guardian gave Stevie Martin,

279
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.960
not Steve Martin. Stevie Martin four stars. Martin has some

280
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.399
fun itemizing the advantages of making comedy online, which cannot

281
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.240
be replicated, and she tries to prove the point on stage.

282
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.759
There's effort award ratio, as one clip drolley demonstrates the

283
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.120
host is doing so well online for doing so little,

284
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.960
and the analytics available to model online success might those

285
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.000
be mapped out of a live arena. You can bet

286
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.000
Martin gives that a go too, animizing the show moment

287
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.039
by moment with various on screen grids and graphs. She's

288
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:02.120
at the Monkey Barrel through the twenty fifth and a

289
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.120
follow up. I told you last week about Reginald D

290
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.399
Hunter and some folks walking out of his show with

291
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.759
the fringe. Hunter posted on social media saying there was

292
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.879
an unfortunate incident in my new show Fluffy Fluffy Beavers.

293
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.919
As a comedian, I do push boundaries and creating humor.

294
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.240
It's part of my job. This inevitably creates divided opinions,

295
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.799
but I'm staunchly anti war and anti bully. I regret

296
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.279
any stress cost of the audience at venue staff members

297
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.799
related to that. The Eastwood Theater says they've canceled a

298
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.519
September twenty eighth show by reginal D Hunter due to

299
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:34.480
his controversial comments. A spokesperson for the Eastwood Theater defended

300
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.279
the freedom of expression of artists and it expected audiences

301
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.039
to extend some latitude to many acts. However, in the

302
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.200
case of reginal D Hunter, we have a commitment to

303
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.639
our community and to our values of diversity and inclusion,

304
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.159
which we take seriously. They said all customers would receive

305
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.679
a refund. I'm related to all of this, Police Scotland

306
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.799
said it had been made aware of a hate incident

307
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.039
but found no crime and been committed. And that is

308
00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.120
your comedy news for today. Don't forget ballot Live from

309
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.080
the Democratic National Convention this week. We also have a

310
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.080
new show, five Minutes of Gratitude. What's that, Johnny Macwell,

311
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.440
you know mindfulness is a good thing to think about

312
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.279
the things in your life which you could be grateful

313
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.840
for in just five minutes. So that's the number, five

314
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.559
Minutes of Gratitude. New podcast there, and don't forget. I

315
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:18.720
also host five Good News Stories Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I

316
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.159
tell you five stories and they're all good news. All right,

317
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:22.720
that's enough for you to listen to see you back

318
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.440
here tomorrow
