00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.359
Callaroga Shark Media Helloom. Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.839
News Today, Another look at Vultures twenty twenty four comedians

3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.719
you should know and will know. I did part one

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.719
last Sunday in the September eighth episode, so I'll pick

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.359
up where I left off last time. If you're just

6
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.920
diving in. Every year, Vulture puts out a list of

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.559
comedians you should know, and they tended bad about I'll

8
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:31.800
roughly call it fifty percent on these, so it's a

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.079
pretty good list regardless. It's a good way to uncover

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.399
some names that you might not know. I had shared

11
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:39.799
the list in the Facebook group, oh, probably two weeks

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.399
ago at this point Daily Comedy News podcast group, and

13
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.439
some of the more active members in the group commented

14
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:46.719
that they didn't recognize most of the names. I got

15
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.280
to say, I think I recognized when I first went

16
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.280
through this, maybe six or seven or so. So this

17
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.439
is a great job by a Vulture. Let's start with

18
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.600
youngb Mayor. She's got a memoir coming out called I'm

19
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.399
Laughing because I'm Crying. She describes her appeal as that

20
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.679
effect and I'm a failure in fing nuts and also

21
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.959
constantly bring it up. Walt says she's a whirling dervish

22
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.599
of off the cough neuroses, our latable queen on TikTok,

23
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.280
and a blunt and brash storyteller on the page. She's

24
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.159
a master at taking would be cliches, for example, a

25
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.359
front facing comedy video on which she adopts a Korean

26
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.239
accent to imitate a Korean uncle, for example, and elevating

27
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:24.159
them into intergenerational character studies through sheer specificity. When Korean

28
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.959
uncle takes long cigarette drags while staring at the distance,

29
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.640
he's not just getting a nicotine fix. He's remembering the

30
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.120
IMF crisis. Then Wiltra has Dropouts Breakouts Vick Michaelis, Brennan

31
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.599
Lee Mulligan, and Raka Shankar. They were all streaming on

32
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.400
something called Dropout, which spun out of college humor. Walter

33
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.439
tells us Brendan Lee Mulligan, the most recognizable of the

34
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.439
streamers stars, has become a phenomenon in the online tabletop

35
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.920
gaming community thanks to the popularity of his show Dimension twenty,

36
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.599
in which he plays tabletop role playing games with a

37
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.840
rotating series of guest players as the show's energetic coast

38
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.159
and game master. He builds whimsical wars for participants to

39
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.239
play in and breeds life into them with an array

40
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.280
of silly voices. Vic mchaelis known for their chaotic appearances

41
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.240
on Game Changer, the premise of which changes every episode,

42
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.800
hence its name. Vic serves as the host of Very

43
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.680
Important People, a talk show in which Michaela's interviews comedians

44
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.439
who were transformed into characters by makeup artists. And Raka

45
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.599
Shankar made the jump from being a sketchwriter and performed

46
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.199
at college humor to utility player dropout. She's competed on

47
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.120
Game Changer, created the Chef's Table parody Gods of Food,

48
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.120
and hosted these shows a celebrity slumber party and erotic clubhouse.

49
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.400
Kathy Peruso is part of the clown community in Los Angeles.

50
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.479
Clowning is a comedy subgenre and which performers commit to

51
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.599
over the top character work marked by borish physicality and

52
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.520
purposely exaggerated stupidity. Courtney Peruso got her start at The Groundlings,

53
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.159
and then it felt creatively lost when she left that behind.

54
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.280
The twenty twelve until La Clown. Natalie Palamedes, who's amazing

55
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.360
and listen to Natalie's episode on JN marco Seres's podcast,

56
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.120
Very Very Funny Highly recommended. Natalie introduced Courtney to the

57
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.120
art of clowning in twenty sixteen. Brusso spends years developing

58
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.240
clown shows, flushing out the character she plays in the

59
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.560
worlds they inhabit to probe deeper questions. We are deep here?

60
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.000
Is anybody still doing stand up? Chloe Radcliffe. Vultra says

61
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.280
one of the lines Chloe Radcliffe often uses during a

62
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.400
set that wasn't a dig at comedians, It's really hard

63
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.000
for me to explain like a theater show as opposed

64
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.000
to just telling you a couple one liners from a

65
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.400
stand up Chloe Radcliffe. One of the lines Chloe uses

66
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.159
during sets is a fast jab design explain and then

67
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.439
quickly dispense with the fact that she's a birthmark on

68
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.280
her face. Chloe says, for those that don't know it's

69
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.039
a birthmark, that's what it is. Doesn't lower myself esteem

70
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.599
enough for me to have sex with you. She says

71
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.199
it in a different way someone might express that sentiment.

72
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.400
Vulture says, it's a natural way to do the Yes,

73
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.000
I'm aware of what I look like joke that most

74
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.840
comedians need to do in some form or another. Radcliffe

75
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.280
says her comedy style developed out of her nerdy high

76
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.960
school and college career as a speech and debate competitor.

77
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.639
She talks about the insecurities and miscommunications that drive her relationships,

78
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.520
about her own flaws as a partner, and about how

79
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.520
hard it is for straight women to have satisfying sex lives.

80
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:07.719
In one set, she realizes a group of guys in

81
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.960
the front rail were Swedish, and she goes into a

82
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.960
digression about a Swedish guy she once dated who didn't

83
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.759
take his condom off for an hour and a half.

84
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.839
She finds herself chanting in her mind reduce, reuse, recycle.

85
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.079
Veronica Slowakowska is on TikTok. She leaped frogs from one

86
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.360
idea of the next. She'll improvise a song about friends,

87
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.399
or invented intense, too committed, fantastical excuse for why her

88
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.839
roommate can't use the bathroom after her. She has some

89
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.800
comedy shorts in which she plays a version of herself

90
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.040
with no sense of social awareness, a randomly incredible singing voice,

91
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.199
and a deep and abiding crush on her roommate. Kyle,

92
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.680
played by her podcast co host Kyle Chase. She elevates

93
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.759
cringe comedy to high art. Next up, fans of Daily

94
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.680
Comedy News podcast Know This Guy, John Marco SIRESI check

95
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.240
out the September seventh interview where I did just about

96
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.279
an hour with John Marco. His TikTok has seven hundred

97
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.480
thousand followers. Bulcher says he has posters, disease, and the

98
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.560
best possible sense. He's constant developing new material and he's

99
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.120
relentless about getting it out in the world. He's got

100
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.439
a joke about mister Beast and says it's kind of

101
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.560
pathetic filming strangers to build up your YouTube. Following then

102
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.759
his moment drops in a moment of self awareness. The

103
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.800
crowd laughs because they get it. Next up on Vulture's

104
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.000
list of comedians you should Know Emil Jakim, Vulture writes

105
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.639
some comedians to talk about politics with a sense of gravitas.

106
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.839
The humor has an edge of anger. The point of

107
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.079
the joke is to clarifying justice. Emil Woakim's comedy's often

108
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.079
political and is often about injustice, but his political focus

109
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.199
has an unusually gleeful tone to it. A bro pleasure

110
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:35.879
that often lends on a note of happiness or at

111
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.360
least a sense of excitement that he's gotten away with

112
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.639
something fun. Vulture then shared a naughty joke about Greta Tuneberg.

113
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.639
I don't even know a way to clean up this

114
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.480
particular joke, but like I said, I share the article

115
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.399
in the Facebook group Daily Comedies podcast group. Eagle Wit

116
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.879
is a trickster. He creates tension in his jokes by

117
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.680
slithering around the different, often contradictory sides of an argument,

118
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.000
and he's a gift for living in pockets of uncertainty.

119
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.839
Being infuriated when one of his white friends called Bob

120
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.600
Dylan the greatest lyricist of all time, and he says

121
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.560
until he actually listened to a Dylan song posing to

122
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.160
the audience, you ever lose an argument so hard he

123
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.639
become a fan. He then reads some Bob Dylan lyrics

124
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.199
to the audience and says, isn't that beautiful? And then says, yeah,

125
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.160
that's Jay z f Bob Dylan. He has a joke

126
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.959
about Kanye being president, to the joke being he's the

127
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.839
black president white America deserves. That sets up a story

128
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.959
about a time a Heckler believed he was making that

129
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.160
argument for real. He told the Heckler, it's a joke.

130
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.560
I'd never vote for Kanye West. He's my favorite rapper.

131
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.879
I trust him with beats, not the button. I have

132
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.399
a question for you, dear listener. You ever been recording

133
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.839
her podcast and you're just scrolling down a list of

134
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.839
comedians and you go to the next one and you

135
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.639
find out on the fly you had reached the end

136
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.279
of the list without reading it. Has that ever happened

137
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.279
to you? That happened to somebody recently and they didn't

138
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.480
know what else to do other than to say, that's

139
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.519
