00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.720
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and Johnny
Mack with your daily comedy news and nice
2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:17.399
write up of Taylor, Thomlinson and
Glamour in a really small font though it
3
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.640
was on Glamor dot com and I
had a hit control plus plus plus just
4
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.359
to make the font legible. I'm
old here anyway. Taylor's having a good
5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.480
week of buzz and well deserved.
And she said, look, the truth
6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.199
is, I couldn't have done After
Midnight four years ago, even three years
7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.399
ago. What's so interesting to me
is when it came up, I was
8
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.240
like, Oh, I think I'm
at a place in my life where I
9
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.280
could actually do that job, and
I could do it well and I can
10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.320
enjoy it. Anyone in your twenties
you don't know who you are yet.
11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.200
It's crazy how different I felt every
year of my twenties. I feel like
12
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.640
I'm finally stabilizing at thirty. I
really do feel different. Twenty nine was
13
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.320
a really hard year, but also
really good. None of that. I
14
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.320
do feel like the best version of
myself. Feels like things kind of locked
15
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.359
into a place in a nice way. Taylor says being on the road is
16
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.159
really fun, but it's also really
lonely. Something that I talked about when
17
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.840
I was interviewing for the job was
I'd really love when I come back to
18
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.079
LA to have a community. The
idea of making something new every day with
19
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.719
a group of people I really like
sounds very fun and creatively fulfilling. Getting
20
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.519
to see comedians more and getting to
meet more comedians. She's hoping she can
21
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.719
create a fun comfort show for people
at the end of the day. Always
22
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.200
a good mission. I agree with
that. I'm excited to give stand up
23
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.040
comedians a platform where they can be
really funny and get these great clips that
24
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.079
are not going to burn their material, which is why we're all posting crowd
25
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.439
work online. Really interesting twist there. She'll probably do well if they let
26
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.680
the comedians share the clips. That'd
be smart to let them. Paullie Shore
27
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.359
is starring as Richard Simmons in a
bio pic. The movie was going to
28
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.799
premiere yesterday at the Sundance Film Festival. A trailer was auds. I went
29
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:38.959
to pull some audio for it and
it just wouldn't work. In terms of
30
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.000
this podcast, seems Polly listen to
fan suggestions on his YouTube videos and social
31
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.760
media, where people commented that he
kind of looked like Richard Simmons, but
32
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.040
according to Entertainment Weekly, Pauli Shore
thinks the slimilarities are deeper. He says,
33
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.079
I am him. I like helping
people. I like health, I
34
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.640
like putting that energy out there.
Through my mom and the comedy stores,
35
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:01.760
she helped a lot of people,
and it kind of got passed down to
36
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.680
me. I helped comedians and people, So I really relate to Richard.
37
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.039
I've been going to the gym since
I was a kid, and I think
38
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:09.360
I'm a little over the top as
well, So I feel like I connect
39
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.159
with him. And I've known him
for years. Back in the day I
40
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.520
started in the nineties, I used
to always see him, and I always
41
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.680
giving him hugs and high fives and
stuff. He says. In public,
42
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.840
people would walk up to him and
be like, Hey, what's up.
43
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.000
I know you you're Richard Simmons.
Pauli says, that's a compliment. By
44
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.719
the way, he's very handsome.
Also, his style and my style is
45
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.719
very over the top. It's spontaneous, so that's inherent in me. Already.
46
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.080
All right, pay attention to this
next part because it's going to be
47
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.000
important in a couple of minutes enter
Timmy Weekly. He asked if he got
48
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.840
to speak with Richard Pauli said.
His people responded and they said that he
49
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.159
loves me, and he loves my
mom and the store and all that stuff,
50
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.400
but at this time he just wants
to lay low and not really be
51
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.319
involved. The film takes place in
the early two thousands. Richard is getting
52
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.520
ready to do the Yellen Show.
There's a bumbly kind of pa on the
53
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.159
set and he's a bit overweight and
he's kind of getting the way of everyone.
54
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.879
Everyone's yelling at him because Richard Simmons
is there and it's just very,
55
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.520
very uncomfortable for him, and Richard
sees this go down. Richard comes out
56
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.120
and does his thing on Ellen.
Afterward, there's this whole monologue that Richard
57
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.360
has with his fumbling pa by the
craft services table, where I shine some
58
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.680
light on how beautiful he really is
and how special he is and help him
59
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.439
turn around a little bit. Kind
of starts off fun, and then the
60
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.560
last part is Richard's message. As
for Richard's non involvement, my attitude is
61
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.879
if we build it, he'll come. That's my hope. My hope is
62
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.759
that he sees it. It looks
good, it feels good, it's all
63
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.520
right, and you might say I'm
down. I'll help you, guys.
64
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.599
I'll be part of it, and
I'll hold your hand now. Richard Simmons
65
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:30.120
himself jumped on Facebook and wrote,
Hi, everybody. You may have heard
66
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.759
they're doing a movie about me with
Polly Shore. I have never given my
67
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.240
permission for this movie, so don't
believe everything you read. I no longer
68
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.080
have a manager, and I no
longer have a publicist. I just try
69
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.879
to live a quiet life and be
peaceful. Thank you for all your love
70
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:49.439
and support. Dana Carvey has resumed
podcasting again. He addressed his family situation
71
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.039
following the death of his son Dex. Dana said, it's me and my
72
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.759
wife and our son's private journey.
We're all together and we do a lot
73
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.000
of fun things. We hike,
we go to church. We just want
74
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.479
to make sure that you keep moving, he said. Ge back in the
75
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.319
swing of the podcast will be very
healthy for me as I recover. I'm
76
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.319
kind of on the pain train with
about millions of other people on this planet,
77
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.240
and you don't know how long you're
going to be on it, or
78
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.560
when it'll stop, and when it
will get better. But in the meantime,
79
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.680
all this kind of stuff is very
healthy. I thought about it over
80
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.519
the holidays and decided to come back
to the podcast because I think, you
81
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.600
know, it's a long day when
you're not working, you get in your
82
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.399
head, and I think it's going
to be a great break, and I
83
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.680
think it's really cool to laugh doing
this and riffing with you, David Spate
84
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.399
is going to be very healthy for
me as I recover, because I'm kind
85
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.720
of on the pain train with millions
of other people on this planet, and
86
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.680
you don't know how long you're going
to be on it, when it will
87
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.879
stop, or when it'll get better. But in the meantime, all this
88
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:39.160
kind of stuff is very healthy.
The snow Jam Comedy Festival continues in Sioux
89
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.399
Falls today. Oh. When I
last looked, today's low had been forecasted
90
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.399
to be minus twenty one, but
in the updated forecast just a low of
91
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.680
minus twenty with a high of six, So it's much better than yesterday.
92
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.720
Congrats Dan Boublitz Junior and the crew
at Snowjam. They have four events today
93
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.560
starting at one o'clock. It's the
munch Mic Come eat some delicious food while
94
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.240
you watch from across the country,
do new material, or maybe you sign
95
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.480
up and try it out yourself.
Five o'clock, It's Hot Cocoa Comedy with
96
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.439
two four five ten comics. Always
good to see ten comics on a bill.
97
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.920
Sean Jordan is your headliner. At
seven o'clock, Shawn co hosts the
98
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.720
popular podcast All Fantasy Everything. And
then at nine point thirty, it's snow
99
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.920
Time. Ten comics on the bill. Like I said, always good to
100
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.759
see ten comics on the bill.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, Sketch Fest
101
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.680
continues, and there are quite a
bunch of shows. I won't read them
102
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.120
all. Let's say at noon the
State Hits and Misses, David Wayne,
103
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.680
Joel Thetruglio, Ken Marino and Gang. Four o'clock Celebrity Autobiography with Thomas Lennon
104
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.959
Catches My Eye. Seven o'clock David
Cross and Friends, The DESI Comedy Fest
105
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.079
Sydney Washington's had to Start a Fire. Also at seven, at eight o'clock,
106
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.199
the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band with
Ken Marino and David Wayne. Also
107
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.879
on that bill Thomas Lennon and Weird
Owl Yanka Vic. That alone would get
108
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.879
me there. We'll say Sloan at
nine thirty, Locals Only at nine forty
109
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.959
five again I'm not reading them all. Oh, and also at nine forty
110
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.639
five Exorcistic, the unauthorized rock musical
parody of the Exorcist. All right.
111
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.720
If we were at Sketch Fest would
hit the state at noon, then we
112
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.600
would have several hours to have some
beverages. Seven o'clock. I would want
113
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.720
to see something different. I would
go, let's go see DESI Comedy FESTI
114
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:21.959
And he'd be like, now,
I don't want to go see that,
115
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.480
and I'd be like, come on, man, and then we would go
116
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.480
and have a great time. Then
for the late show, I'd make you
117
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.680
go see Locals Only, and then
you'd be like, oh, that was
118
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.279
a lot of fun. I'd be
like, yeah, trust me, I
119
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.439
know what I'm doing at comedy festivals. Another comedy festival coming up is coming
120
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.920
to Williamsburg January twenty fifth through the
twenty eighth. It is the Last Word
121
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.360
at Comedy Festival. It includes improvised
Jane Austen, The Ladies of improvised Jane
122
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.839
Austin tell it Tale on the Spot, the style of the most beloved nineteen
123
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:53.240
century authorists. That's fun. Hitch
Cocktails creates a full length thriller in the
124
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:58.279
style of Alfred Hitchcock while we're taking
in beverages. That's Friday the twenty sixth.
125
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.879
It's the same night as the Jane
Austin, though I hope those don't
126
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.680
overlap. Then on Saturday twenty seventh, Clued In. Inspired by the works
127
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:09.480
of Agatha Christi and the cases of
Sherlock Holmes, this is an improvised murder
128
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:15.399
mystery. Sunday the twenty eighth Riff
Chicago's improv music party. This show takes
129
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.079
the fast paced games of whose line
Is It Anyway as energized by a full
130
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:24.480
band in a wild musical comedy showcase. You can find the full festival schedule
131
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.040
at last Word Festival dot com and
if you're in Northern Ireland, put this
132
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.279
one on the calendar. This sounds
awesome. It's the Comedian's Darts Tournament Saturday,
133
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:39.199
March ninth, Americans. Have you
ever watched the Dart Championships. It
134
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.759
is tremendous fun. It is so
fast paced. These guys go up there
135
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.480
and they just go whap, whap
wap, and then they grab their darts
136
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.319
and the next guy's already as fast
as I'm telling this story, going wap
137
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.360
wap wap. Next, I'm up, okay, cool, bang bang bang,
138
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.120
And the announcers they're like lightning quick. I guess they do it so
139
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.279
often that they're like, okay,
needs two eighteens and a four. They
140
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.560
just have all the nomber combinations memorized
or computers helping them. I don't know.
141
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.360
This thing moves so fast. So
you have the darts. Then there's
142
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.399
the drunk audience. Just picture the
let's make a deal audience, except they're
143
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.879
drunk, so it is so much
fun. I saw this one guy,
144
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.279
he needed like an eighteen to close
it out, and he totally showboted.
145
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.120
He must have been up by a
lot. He goes up and he goes,
146
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.600
ah, I just missed. Then
he just missed the eighteen throws another
147
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.639
one like half half force, and
ah, I just missed again, and
148
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.839
then he goes bang and then basically
dropped the mic, and I was like,
149
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.879
I'm the King. The announcers are
like, this guy's peacocking darts is
150
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.399
a lot of fun. Check it
out. They're on YouTube. Just go
151
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.600
on YouTube and type in darts championship. Trust me, so much fun.
152
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:46.600
