WashPo asks if Kevin Hart is funny in BRUTAL article

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.759
Callaroga Shark Media Jimmy Foul said a
Delta Airlines pilot was sentenced to ten months

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.560
in jail for showing up to work
drunk. Yeah, you got ten months

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.760
in prison and a job offer from
Southwest. Hello. I'm Johnny Mack with

4
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.480
your daily comedy news. Wait to
hear this Kevin Hart thing. Hoo,

5
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.079
there was a lot today. It
took me two and a half hours to

6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.839
sort the stories. Not everything's making
today's program, with just so many articles

7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.079
and interviews and podcasts with comedians.
So I've got a load of material well

8
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.960
into next week. But the big
thing today, The Washington Post threw some

9
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:47.320
serious heat I insight right up against
Kevin Hart's chin. The headline is Kevin

10
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:52.000
Hart funny. Now I love this. The genesis of this article here is

11
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.600
basically I'm paraphrasing, why are we
giving the Mark Twain Prize to Kevin Hart?

12
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.280
That was kind of my original reaction
to the announcement as well. But

13
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.040
the Washington Post is not pulling punches. They write comedy, it seems,

14
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.359
is merely the Empire's cornerstone and some
other comedians they could sort of weak.

15
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.200
They quote Donnell Rawling saying on a
podcast. I hear so many comics say

16
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.719
Kevin Heart's not funny. Donelle didn't
say if he agrees with them or not.

17
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.519
Mike Epps on Instagram in twenty eighteen
wrote, I still don't think you

18
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.040
are behind is funny? I cleaned
it up a little. You may recall

19
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.200
Kat Williams was on Shannon Sharp's podcast
and called Kevin Hart an industry plant.

20
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.560
Kevin Hart reacted to that and said, at the circus, when a lion

21
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:34.680
comes out and rides a bike,
you don't think about it too hard.

22
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.680
You just go, Okay, that's
crazy. The post writes Heart has built

23
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.079
something massive, But does the last
name Hart mean something in comedy? Does

24
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.079
he consider his comedy to be impactful? Or is he a lion riding a

25
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.480
bicycle? We'd like to ask Cart
himself about all this. We spent months

26
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.079
trying to schedule him the Kennedy Center, which we'll host and confer the prize

27
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.120
March twenty fourth. Tried helping.
Maybe the interview would be in Qatar,

28
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.519
where we had a show, or
maybe on a film set in Atlanta,

29
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.359
maybe just over Zoom, but Kevin
Hart had other things to do, so

30
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.759
we bought a one hundred and thirty
five dollars ticket for a bad Seat in

31
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:13.000
North Charleston, South Carolina to see
his brand new material tour and listen for

32
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.439
answers. Boy, I love this
article so much. They are bringing it.

33
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.639
They're write Heart's small athletic frame.
He's five foot four, prowl's the

34
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.800
stage like an NBA player on the
court. All twenty three hundred members of

35
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.199
the audience have locked their phones and
secure pouches. All eyes are on Heart.

36
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.520
It's clear what he means when he
says he doesn't write jokes. Instead,

37
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.719
he shouts his way through meandering stories. They usually end with a laugh

38
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.800
line that will repeat several times,
each one louder time out. Chris Rock

39
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.039
does that same thing. I'm not
saying Chris Rock sucks, but Chris Rock

40
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:49.360
will go, here's the punch line. The punch line right. They'll usually

41
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.039
end a laugh line that will repeat
several times while he pantomimes say his explosive

42
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.599
defecation after eating a spicy Chick fil
a sandwich where his family's eye rolling when

43
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.599
his nephew came out as gay.
Quoting Kevin Hart, he I think I

44
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.120
speak for the whole family when I
say we know, we know, we

45
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.759
know. The audience devours it,
laughing louder with each repetition. Yikes,

46
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.199
yikes, yikes, this is fun. Johnny Mack likes the gossip. Sup

47
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.599
Betting is Kevin Art Funny comics such
as Keith Robinson, Patrise O'Neal and David

48
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.919
Tel thought so. They helped him
get a start and respect in New York

49
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.120
stand up clubs. Meet Him mogul
Damon Dash thought so he put him in

50
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.520
the Rock a Fella produced movie Paper
Soldiers, alongside Jay Z, Charlie Murphy,

51
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.599
and Michael Rappaport. Jodd Apatow thought
so. He cast him in a

52
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.639
few episodes of his Fox Had Come
Undeclared with Seth Rogan and Jay Barshell twenty

53
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.039
three years ago. The Fish out
of Water persona he honed in movies such

54
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.319
as Ride Along, Get Harden several
films with Dwayne Johnson, draws big box

55
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.919
office receipts. His movie character there
is really only one, is an extension

56
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.560
of a stand up act. Frenetic, self deprecating, yet overconfident, fast

57
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.840
talking, and most important, all
caps loud. The Washington Post continues,

58
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.960
Funny is in the ear of the
listener. But perhaps the proof is in

59
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.719
the empire. Cornerstone be damned his
modeled underwear from Macy's. He's played in

60
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.560
major poker tournaments. He co created
a TV show in twenty thirteen called Real

61
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.240
Husbands of Hollywood. He founded a
production company that pumps out the schlocky comedies

62
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.879
he appears in. He started a
ventual capital firm that invests in companies that

63
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.800
make beds, energy, drinks,
snacks, and cleaning products. Oh there's

64
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.519
more, all right, fasten your
seat belts. Heart's Empire seems impervious to

65
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.800
threats. He cheated on his pregnant
wife in twenty seventeen, Johnny Mack pauses,

66
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.319
No one seemed to care. In
twenty fifteen, he said he would

67
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.839
never play a gay character. No
one really blinked. In twenty eighteen,

68
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.680
the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts
and Sciences announced he would host the twenty

69
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.360
nineteen Oscars. Almost immediately, Twitter
useres and journalists began sharing a slew of

70
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.120
his old homophobic tweets and Santa pits. The Academy asked him to apologize.

71
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.560
He refused, resigned a gig,
and then gave a non apology on Twitter

72
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.639
but controversy rolls off him because he
never fully admits wrongdoing, never earnestly apologizes.

73
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.160
Instead, he talks about personal growth, He's always evolving and growing,

74
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:03.920
and complains about cancel culture. Did
I tell you this is not pulling any

75
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.959
punches. I can't believe this.
I forgot to check the byline. Let

76
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:12.120
me check the bioline here by Travis

a contributing pop culture reporter for Mashable in

79
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.560
the Week. Some of his other
recent articles, I'm Just curious is an

80
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.279
oh bit for m m at walsh
an article on March fourteenth about the Mark

81
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.160
Twain Prize. On March twelfth,
the headline, Oh that's what happens when

82
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:36.279
the Academy nominates popular movies March twelfth. Chat Cafe the exceptional Indian restaurant in

83
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.759
a gas station. See I'm curious. I want to click on that,

84
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:45.879
but I cannot afford to get sidetracked
today. Johnny Mack Stay focused Washpot writes

85
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.879
a bid from his twenty thirteen special, let me explain about how his infidelity

86
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.360
broke up his first marriage captures the
cycle. Yes, people, I cheated.

87
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.800
Am I ashamed of it? No? I'm not do I wish I

88
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.360
could take it back. No,
I don't let me tell you why you

89
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.800
can't evolve as a man if you
never make a mistake. I'm not sure

90
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.240
that's all that cool. But again, it's in the context of a comedy

91
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.360
special, So we should never take
anything set in a comedy special all that

92
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.079
seriously. He told The Sunday Times
in twenty twenty one. I've been canceled

93
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.160
what three or four times? In
the same interview, he suggests that anyone

94
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.839
who wants to cancel someone should shut
the f up. Post continues. One

95
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.920
phrase came up repeatedly among fans and
Charleston. Oh, I know where this

96
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.120
is going because I've preread this for
age way to hear this That phrase,

97
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.000
he's relatable. Who among us hasn't
taken penis enlargement pills from a gas station

98
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.319
and then commanded his spouse to recite
his social Security number during six But maybe

99
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.959
we're thinking too literally. What's relatable
isn't the taking of the pills, but

100
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.879
the insecurity that leads to them.
There's a deep universal anxiety at the heart

101
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.800
of hard jokes, and there's a
deep universal anxiety. And the way he

102
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.240
talks about himself. He needed to
tell the Sunday Times I'm talented as f

103
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.199
that he's not funny. Slander is
the Best began a tweetstorm in twenty twenty

104
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.439
one when Kevin highlighted that his movies
have made four billion dollars in the box

105
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.720
office and that three of a stand
up specials are among the top ten highest

106
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.399
gross of all time. I've also
turned my comedic talents into a place of

107
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:06.439
business and branding and radio and other
revenue streams. The hate slander fuels me

108
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.600
to do more. And now the
focus of the Washington Post article asked the

109
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.600
question, is the Twain Prize about
being funny? Is fun and loud?

110
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.560
Close enough? Cliff nester Off,
the stand up historian, notes that Kevin

111
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:25.360
Hart and last year's winner Adam Sandler
are difficult to contextualize because they're technically mid

112
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.439
career. Nestro Off says, Kevin
Hart really belongs to one generation of show

113
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.079
business. I don't know if we're
there yet. To see specific comedians performers

114
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.759
that have been influenced by Kevin Hart. It almost feels like we're honoring fame.

115
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.399
Wow, woh, would love to
know what you think about that one.

116
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.720
I shared it in the Facebook group. Folks are telling me the article

117
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.680
is payhold, but you just got
the gist of it. And if you

118
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.639
use Apple Podcasts, they now have
transcripts. So if you want to scroll

119
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.199
through everything I just read to you, I'd be curious your thoughts. Daily

120
00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:00.480
Comedy News podcast group. Wow,
that one story was the length of what's

121
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:07.160
normally one segment. How about this
one from Late Nighter? They'll say Sloan

122
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.959
was asked about hosting the Daily Show. She also did not pull any punches

123
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.279
until Late Nighter. I'm just telling
you the reality of the situation that's not

124
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.759
going to happen. I'm paying attention
and I work there. It's not about

125
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.319
whether they asked me. It's why
they didn't ask Roy, would Junior?

126
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.519
Because if they didn't ask Roy,
they sure is Heleen gonna ask me?

127
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.720
If they're getting rid of all the
diversity in Late Night, why would they

128
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.120
turn around and ask me? Next
paragraph here on Late Nighter says Sloan is

129
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.039
referring to the how late night has
reverted to just being hosted by white guys

130
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.120
after the following list of people have
stopped doing late night shows. That list

131
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.399
includes Samantha Bee, z Way,
Ember Ruffin, Jesus and Marrow, and

132
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.600
Trevor Noah, Well, Trevor left
on his own. Jesus and Marrow had

133
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.240
a fight, sam Bee. I
think turn around out of money, right.

134
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.559
I don't know why the other two
ended. Sloane says the atmosphere at

135
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.600
the Daily Show has lightned a bit
recently. Sloan said, this is what's

136
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.000
happening with everything. Look at all
the shows that are getting canceled. Who

137
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.320
lose this fool was hilarious. It
got canceled. Nobody knows why. I'll

138
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.279
tell you why. Nobody watched it. That's why shows get canceled. It

139
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.080
looks like this is what the directive
is. And so I can't worry about

140
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.720
everything as a whole, because that
just takes your brain somewhere it's not supposed

141
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.000
to go. It's too big for
my brain. Listen, if your show

142
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.440
gets views and you can sell to
advertisers, it'll be on end a story.

143
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.519
There's no conspiracy. I can tell
you why this fool got canceled.

144
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.120
Nobody watched it, so Loan says, with John Stewart coming back, everybody

145
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.639
in the building has relaxed because it's
okay, we're probably not going to get

146
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.559
canceled now. Comedy Central is always
an interesting place to be. TV right

147
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.600
now is an interesting place to be. So yeah, there are a lot

148
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.279
of people who are like, my
kids could stay in private school. We're

149
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.799
probably not going to get canceled right
now. That's the main thing. I

150
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.200
got a lot more. I need
a break. Normally I do the show

151
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.480
in two chunks. We may have
three chunks today. There's so much going

152
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.000
on. David Tel he does indeed
have a Netflix special coming out on March

153
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.720
twenty sixth. There's no press about
it, there's no articles about it.

154
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.799
This is it's very strange. There's
not even a real triller. I went

155
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.279
hunting and found that Netflix posted some
audio. But this isn't produced as a

156
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.759
trailer. It's just somebody went all
right, I'll grab a couple jokes so

157
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.080
you'll know if there's no music.
There's no editing here. You'll also note

158
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.279
that David Tell is working clean here. But I like this clip a lot.

159
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.720
It's really tough because there's no late
night food anymore. It's all gone.

160
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.679
I don't know what happened, but
no food after eleven. You don't

161
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.399
believe me, I'll take you through
it. Okay. I'm in Milwaukee,

162
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.039
which is a great town. Milwaukee, great town, no late night food,

163
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:39.639
which kind of explains Jeffrey Dahmer.
Now, hey, this guy was

164
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.519
a monster, all right. I
am not condoning anything he did. But

165
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:50.039
you get hungry, Am I right? I Mean, come on, all

166
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.240
I'm saying is pack a snack,
all right? Now? I do trail

167
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.519
mix anybody. I always travel with
a bag of trails the most unsatisfying snack,

168
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.200
Am I right? I mean,
honestly, let's call it what it

169
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.960
really is. Are you ready?
Not enough M and m's. I mean

170
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.480
that's what trail makes. It is. Every handful is just another handful of

171
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.320
disappointment. Am I right? It's
kind of like the hug of a step

172
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.679
dad. I mean, it just
doesn't Yeah, I knew he had a

173
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.960
couple of broken toys in the room. For what it's worth, in my

174
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.919
opinion, David Tell, and you
don't hear it there? He's doing material

175
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:35.440
there is really probably the best at
crowd work. I've seen him going back

176
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.799
a while. We were at the
Las Vegas Comedy Festival and that's a long

177
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.440
time gone. And he just got
up there and did I don't know,

178
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.200
half an hour just working the crowd. It was amazing. That Steve Martin

179
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.080
documentary is coming out. Apple has
released a longer clip. The first voice

180
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:54.360
you're going to here is Jerry Seinfeld. Let's listen. This guy was getting

181
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:05.399
people so happy. He's up there, the most idolized comedian ever. I

182
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.759
always thought of him as the door
out of the sixties. Well here's something

183
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.679
I don't often see. Wow,
you know, you could be silly again.

184
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.120
You know. I have figured out
one thing that would totally put an

185
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.480
endo show business, and that is
if the human race, instead of having

186
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.200
two arms, just had one arm
right in the center of our body.

187
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.960
Now, the reason that would put
an end to show business? How would

188
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.759
people clap? And one more thing, if you bought my album and you

189
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.360
came down here expecting me to do
a lot of her teams from the record

190
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:45.759
and I didn't do them, well, I trim that a little bit for

191
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.240
pacing. Also in this documentary,
Tina fey Lorne Michaels, Larry David,

192
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.159
Diane Keaton, Eric Idyl, Selena
Gomez, and Martin. Short official synopsis.

193
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.679
Steve Martin is one of the most
beloved and enigmatic figures in entertainment.

194
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.360
Steve is a docum mentory in two
pieces. I've talked about this before.

195
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.000
First part, the part John cares
about the comedy. Second, the movies

196
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.679
and the banjo and all that.
I don't care anyway, Steve. On

197
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:15.399
Apple TV Plus March twenty ninth,
Bert Kreischer went on Shaquill O'Neills The Big

198
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.480
Podcast. Jack said, when I
work out, my gym is in the

199
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.679
back, the pool is cold.
It's like a cold plunge, so I

200
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.039
jump in. I don't want to
get out, and then take a shower.

201
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.320
Kreischer shared his workout and said,
ice cold pool, Get in there,

202
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.559
wake up. I got rituals.
I swim from one side underneath underwater

203
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.679
back to my breath holds Sigora.
He's made fun of me for taking pool

204
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.720
showers my whole life. Shack took
it personally because that's also his ritual.

205
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.919
So he grabbed the phone for Bert
Krescher and sent a voicemail. Tom Sigor

206
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.799
saying, Hey, Tom, this
is Bert's twin brother. I take pool

207
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:50.480
showers too, so leave him alone
or I'll kill you. He was joking.

208
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.720
ConA and O'Brien will take part in
a special event called Globe Trotting and

209
00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.840
Podcasting ConA O'Brien's Life After Late Night
TV. This is part of the big

210
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.240
push about this show on Max that's
finally coming out called Conan O'Brien Must Go.

211
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.639
We'll be hearing a lot from Conan
coming up here. I think Globe

212
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.440
Trouting and Podcasting Conan O'Brien's Life After
Late Night TV at the Paley Center in

213
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.480
New York on April eleventh. Did
you see Mike Tyson is going to fight

214
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.960
Jake Paul, Our spears waited in
telling of lad TV. Mike still got

215
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.039
the power and he still has the
speed. My question is does he have

216
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.080
the endurance? And listen, everybody's
going, Jake Paul's a YouTuber, Mike's

217
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.039
gotta whoop his butt, blah blah
blah. I want to see Jake Paul

218
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.799
get his butt whooped too. But
here's the thing. When Jake Paul first

219
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.879
started, he was a little sloppy
and he wasn't well put together as he

220
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.679
is now with his body, his
postures technique. So my biggest fears that

221
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.960
Mike Tyson does not have the endurance. Hmm all right, let me take

222
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.240
just a quick break here so we
can do the second part in the normal

223
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.320
way. I've got a rhythm to
this, and I just I need thirty

224
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.039
seconds. Be right back. Climb
to New Heights with Monsters, Sharks and

225
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.399
Dinosaurs as we scale the Empire State
Building to uncover the legend of King Kong.

226
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.519
This week, we're swinging into the
heart of a story that bridges the

227
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.799
gap between monster and man, from
Skull Island to the streets of New York

228
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.360
City. Join us as we explore
the myth, the mystery, and the

enduring legacy of cinema's most iconic ape. Follow Monsters, Sharks and Dinosaurs on

230

Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you listen to your favorite shows. Big

231
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.519
shout out, Hey, one of
you has a BMW and you took it

232
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.960
to a shop in New Jersey on
Wednesday, and you were listening to Daily

233
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.279
Comedy News. And I know this
because the guy that took in your car

234
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.840
is my friend Van, and Van
told me the story that he got in

235
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.519
a car and somebody was mid Daily
Comedy News. So, whoever you are,

236
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.039
man, say hi on Facebook.
I was so happy when Van told

237
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.519
me that story, and I hope
your car is okay. He didn't explain

238
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.720
why I was in. I don't
know. Maybe just need oil change.

239
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.039
I don't know why, but BMW
guy in New Jersey or woman, thank

240
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.600
you for listening. As I mentioned
earlier, the Facebook group is Daily Comedy

241
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.320
News podcast group. It's been super
active lately, people other than me starting

242
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.360
conversations, which is what I wanted
to be. I don't mind starting conversations,

243
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.200
but I love when I log in
and I'm like, oh, here's

244
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.799
a good topic, So please feel
encouraged to join us. The first time

245
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.240
you post, you'll get a brief
timeout so we can make sure you're not

246
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.879
a pornbot. But once we figure
out ah, this seems like a human,

247
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.080
will let you in and then you
could post away. Mike and Cleveland.

248
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.720
He shot me a note he was
reacting to the other day when I

249
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.840
talk about Lenno versus Letterman, and
I think he had a good insight,

250
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.000
he said, paraphrasing. Leno felt
like he needed to keep the job,

251
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.080
whereas Dave didn't give a hoot if
he got fired or not, and I'm

252
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.759
like, yeah, you know what, You're right. Good insight by Mike

253
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:44.159
in Cleveland. A bunch of podcasts. As I've mentioned, I'm way behind

254
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.279
on my pods. I've got a
long drive next weekend. Maybe i can

255
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.840
catch up on them. Anyway.
This week, Mark Marin had on Eddie

256
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.639
peppatone that came out yesterday, and
David tell I believe that came out on

257
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.720
Monday. Neil Brennan, I forgot
to write down the notes. Let me

258
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.559
pull it up. He's at a
bunch of people. Ah. Bill Burr,

259
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:02.519
That's who I wanted to tell you
about. Bill Burr came out on

260
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.400
Thursday. Kyle Kanaan came out on
the fourteenth. Recent episodes there, Trevor

261
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.279
Wallace, Jim Norton, Seth Green, Dusty Slay. I've listened to the

262
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.599
slag in the Norton. That show
has been really clicking lately. Tammy Pascatelli's

263
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.839
on Elvis Duran's podcast. Ari Shafer
has launched a new travel podcast called You

264
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.039
Be Tripping' I like that title.
His first guest is Andrew Santino. The

265
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.359
official description comedian and seasoned travel expert
Ari Shafer has launched his newest podcast,

266
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.559
You Be Tripping On You Be Tripping. Ari Shafir finds the comic wanting to

267
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.200
ditch the travel guides and bring on
real folks to discuss their messed up adventures

268
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.359
in hilarious disaster tourism. I don't
know is Andrew Santino shucking jokes a good

269
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:45.599
example of real folks. Here's a
clip if you can find a booie in

270
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.640
a bay, which, by the
way, is funny to hear him say.

271
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.000
When he would say it, he'd
say it sounded like boy. He's

272
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.440
like, we must find a little
boy, and I was like, why

273
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.720
do we need a little boy?
He's like, no, we have to

274
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.079
get a little boy for the boat. And I was like, I don't

275
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.880
really want a boy on the boat. Your wife just they have different customs.

276
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.319
It's you got, all right,
we'll get a little boy on the

277
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.400
book. By the way, that's
the first clip they shared, and let's

278
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.759
be honest, that's not the greatest
clip. I'll check out the pod,

279
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.640
but that clip doesn't make me go
wow, I gotta check this out.

280
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.200
Already has lots of wild stories to
tell from his international travels, such as

281
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.319
getting Bert Krescher fat and Greece,
as well as dancing for fourteen hours in

282
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.359
a warehouse in Berlin. I had
to read that twice to make sure it

283
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.359
said warehouse, not a similar word
warehouse in Berlin. On some of the

284
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.440
finest lab made chemicals known to man. The Entra Santino episode, they'd talk

285
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.079
about the little islands off the coast
of Italy, the subtle art of annoying

286
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:41.519
locals and seeing so many stray dogs
roaming everywhere. Upcoming guests include frequent podcast

287
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.680
guests Joe List, Mark Norman,
and also Kevin Ryan. More to be

288
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.559
announced. From the Sun, No, not the not the Sun, the

289
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.960
newspaper which is called the Sun.
Imagine there was comedy news from the Sun.

290
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.839
Channel four bosses have apologized to one
of their former employees who made a

291
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:03.039
serious and concerning outgation about Russell Brand's
behavior. The CEO said, one former

292
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.720
Channel four employee made a serious,
concerning allegation about Russell Brand in two thousand

293
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.039
and nine. Check your calendar.
This was not escalated to Channel four's then

294
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.960
senior management team, nor investigated as
it should have been. I've apologized on

295
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.079
behalf of the organization to the individual
for this breakdown and for the distress that

296
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.839
this matter has caused. A total
of five women claim Brand had assaulted them

297
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:27.079
between twenty six and twenty thirteen.
Before the allegations were published, Russell Brand

298
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.960
released a YouTube video in which he
strongly denied the claims without specifying what they

299
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.119
were. Mike Vicky Owns got a
special today on the eight hundred Pound Guerrilla

300
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.759
YouTube channel. It'll be at six
o'clock. Now, I'm not sure what

301
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.640
time zone the eight hundred Pound Gorilla
stuff is usually Central Time. This is

302
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:47.000
called Worse Kind of Thoughtful. It's
inspired by his twenty eighteen comedy album on

303
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.920
the same name. In this unique
hour of comedy, Mike fully narrates while

304
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.079
his talented friends, fellow comics,
artists and more have been recruited to perform

305
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:59.000
the stand up material on his behalf. That's Fun. Adam Newmanman has a

306
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.880
new hour of comedy, brought his
guitar music, magic horses, but stuff.

307
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.759
This hour has it all. It's
called Jew Versus the Volcano. It's

308
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.599
his fifth hour of stand up.
You'll find it on Blonde Medicines YouTube channel.

309
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.440
Jew Versus The Volcano has three acts. The first act classic stand up

310
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.279
checking in where he's at now recently
Mary traveled and barreling out of a pandemic.

311
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.839
The second act is the age old
tale about losing one's virginity, featuring

312
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.640
an appearance by RIM's Mike Mills and
a visit to the emergency room. The

313
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.039
third and final act brings us to
what Adam Newman has been planning all along

314
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.519
coming out as a guitar comedian.
It was in New York a few weeks

315
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.400
ago, and it rained the whole
time I was there. The first thing

316
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.519
I had to do in New York
was like dip into a bodega and get

317
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.759
like a cheap four dollar umbrella,
you know. And I was walking in

318
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.480
Brooklyn, in the neighborhood I was
staying in. And I don't know if

319
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:49.559
it's because I live in LA and
just haven't held an umbrella in a long

320
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.519
time, or it was extra slippery
or extra wet or whatever, but Augusta

321
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.279
Wynn came and I just lost it. It's just like up in the air.

322
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.720
I turned around just in time to
see it land in a baby's stroller.

323
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.160
Okay, the baby's fine, I
promise you. The baby's fine,

324
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.400
but the mom was mad. She
was like hey, I was like,

325
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:12.079
I'm sorry, and she goes,
you threw your umbrella at my baby.

326
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.319
I was like, I didn't throw
it at your baby. Have you ever

327
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.599
tried to throw and have you ever
tried to throw an open umbrella? Like

328
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:23.319
open against the way that it's open, like facing the other direction? Like

329
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.799
for me to accurately be able to
skill level, the skill level, the

330
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.680
practice I would have had to put
into it, the hatred towards her specific

331
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.720
baby for me to land that in
the stroller, her second reaction should have

332
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.839
been my baby. Her first reaction
should have been, that was incredible.

333
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.880
You have to show me how you
did that. That was amazing you versus

334
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.599
