00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.839
Hey, massive Bill Burr story again today. Hi, I'm Johnny
3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:15.599
Mack with your daily comedy news. But I do want
4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.879
to lead off with Mark Maron because this one kind
5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.600
of gut punched me. This from Mark Maren's blog on
6
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.920
Markmeron dot com, and we knew this was coming, but this,
7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.920
like I said, this was a gut punch. Maren wrote,
8
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.359
almost done, folks. I'm excited, but I'm also sorry to
9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.359
leave you people. I'll save the week, be goodbye for
10
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.479
next week, and stay strong this week. Well, actually, this
11
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.840
Thursday show is all me talking about how I feel,
12
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:39.920
and then Monday we are the final episode, so I'll
13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.799
leave it at that. You can listen. I don't want
14
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.479
to spoil it by writing everything I say, So Today's
15
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.039
show on WTF with Mark Maron is Mark solo, and
16
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.079
then Monday is whatever the final episode is. Okay, Bill
17
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.079
Bird did Conan O'Brien's podcast. It's not publicly available yet,
18
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.759
but the private feed for subscribers is out, and both
19
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.560
GIBA and The Hollywood Reporter have covered this. Now. If
20
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.439
you're a relatively new listener, I will sometimes do what
21
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.200
I call a half ass impression I'm not trying to
22
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.000
do an impression of someone, but I'll sometimes change my
23
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.519
normal speech pattern to try and mimic ish the way
24
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.359
somebody else speaks. I'm going to do that with Burr
25
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.719
here because I don't have the audio for you anyway,
26
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.319
Conan was taping Conan O'Brien needs a friend, Bill Burr
27
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.319
showed up. Pajeeba wrote of those who attended and reported
28
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.599
on a Reddit thread, all were disappointed in Bill Burr's
29
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.159
self righteous rant. Based on their accounts, Burr repeated many
30
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.120
of the talking points he's already delivered on his own
31
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.840
podcast Freedom, and you can hear those comments on Wednesday's
32
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.959
version of this very podcast. But Pajiba says the real
33
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.920
disappointment from those who chimed in was Conan O'Brien himself,
34
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.159
who didn't push back. At least Jimmy Kimmel reminded his ease.
35
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.079
I'm sorry that the Saudi Royals are very bad people.
36
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.799
We will get to that after the bur stuff, And
37
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.319
at one point, Conan even compared what Burr did in
38
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.920
Saudi Arabia to his own travel show. Conan O'Brien must
39
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.079
go right, so the Hollywood Reporter pulled something that looks
40
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.480
at least transcript esh from the Hard Reporter review, Bill
41
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.799
Burr said, and I'll clean it up that Burr doesn't
42
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.520
give an F what all these phony f and people
43
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.560
are saying. I don't really giving f Conan, and it
44
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.639
affects my career. I've been lax enough of my life.
45
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:14.919
I'll have f it sit home for a little bit.
46
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.919
I'll actually tell you lax is slightly Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
47
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.000
I've been going through this BS the whole week. My
48
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.960
agent never even call me. He's been under his f
49
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.400
and desk hearing me on the podcast saying what I
50
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:25.840
said here that a good time and it was a
51
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.439
positive thing. So he thought that was the mindset that
52
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.719
I was in through the week. One of my favorite
53
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.240
things is the scumbag club owner texting my tour manager
54
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.159
because he heard I was over there. He goes, bring
55
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.400
back a burke in a sweatshirt and size oppression. That
56
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.240
was his jokes. I wrote back to him, why don't
57
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.479
you concentrate in not ripping off comedians? You f and
58
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.520
piece of s And he never wrote back. Bird tells
59
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.360
Conan that events like the Riodd Comedy festival have to
60
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.319
happen in order to push progress forward. It was necessary.
61
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.400
It felt right afterward a vibe with them and f
62
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.080
they were funny, f and people. I don't know what
63
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.879
to tell you. I had a good time. I love
64
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.759
to do with the podcast. Man, I appreciate having me on,
65
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.400
especially during all this BF. Your real friend, dude, Pagieba said.
66
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.120
What was most disappointing was Conan acting as a yes
67
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.319
man the whole time. After realizing no one on that
68
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.639
stage was going to try and have an honest conversation
69
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.840
with Bill, we were hoping it would move on, but
70
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.840
after a while didn't seem like Bill want to talk
71
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.360
about anything else, so we just left Pageeba says. Another
72
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.879
part of the conversation, Bill Burst said that it wouldn't
73
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.159
be very different if he took money from the English
74
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.680
or the London government since they have such a bloody past,
75
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.840
or our own American government. So the episode's out now.
76
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.000
If you want to be a paid subscriber, it will
77
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.000
be available for free on October fifteenth. Before we get
78
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.080
to the easeas and sorry thing, I've been thinking about this.
79
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.000
Here's what's going to happen here, Everyone including me we're
80
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.280
all outraged this week, and you know what, Bill Burr's
81
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:44.840
going to announce, He's playing the Garden. He's going to
82
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.400
sell out in two seconds. And Dave Chappelle's going to
83
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.039
sell out the Garden two seconds, and Louis c k
84
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:50.520
is going to sell out the Garden two seconds, and
85
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.159
Tom Sigore is going to sell out the Garden in
86
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.159
two seconds. These guys may have added one sentence to
87
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.400
their obituary, depending on how long that obituary is. Some
88
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.919
comedians like Jessica Curson I think are going to get
89
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.080
the forever eye roll. I don't think Bill Burr is
90
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.639
helping himself here, but I think somebody like Tom Sagora,
91
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.520
somebody like Sebastian Maniscalco, I think they're just gonna say,
92
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.000
at long, just fine, and no one's gonna care be
93
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.680
not so canceled disease and sorry. You may recall he
94
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.600
was canceled a few years ago. Well he's back and
95
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.959
he was on with Jimmy Kimmel who asked him about
96
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.879
the Riod Comedy Festival. I watched these clips. Zesu's body
97
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.199
language is very nervous. He's looking down in a way
98
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:36.120
a lot. I'm not sure his body believes the words
99
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:37.759
that his mind is saying.
100
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.519
I want to ask you about this comedy festival over
101
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.480
in Saudi Arabia that you were part of. Was that
102
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.920
this weekend of that went on?
103
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.079
It's going on now and oh it's still going on, right,
104
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:49.639
I think so. I'm not sure, but this.
105
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.519
Is obviously this is something that's become a big part
106
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.639
of the news because people, a lot of comedians especially,
107
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.879
are very upset because this is the people who paid
108
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.600
the comedians to come to the This are not good people.
109
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.519
They are It's a pretty brutal regime. They've done a
110
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.439
lot of horrible, horrible things, and so people are questioning
111
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.240
why you would go over there and take their money
112
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.600
to perform in front of these people. And I'm just
113
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.959
curious because you were there, you made this decision. I'm
114
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.160
curious as to why you decided to do that.
115
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:22.839
Yeah.
116
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.360
No, I'm glad you asked, because you know, it's something
117
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.040
I put a lot of thought into. And you know,
118
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.920
I have an aunt that lived there for a while
119
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.959
and I talked to her about this, and she said,
120
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.319
you know, there's people over there that don't agree with
121
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.680
the stuff the government's doing, and to ascribe like the
122
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.920
worst behavior of the government onto those people. It's not fair,
123
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.279
just like there's people in America that don't agree with
124
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:46.199
the things that government right.
125
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.160
Yeah, Kima wasn't buying any of that.
126
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.839
And follow it up, the government over there is arresting
127
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.240
people for peaceful protes I mean, I know, yeah, we're
128
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.959
doing horrible things over here, but they murdered a journalist.
129
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.079
I mean it's like, you know, it's these are not
130
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.879
good people over there, so are the You did you
131
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.800
deal with those people specifically?
132
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.040
No, I was just there to do a show for
133
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.360
the people. And you know, I talked to my wife
134
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.959
about this, you know, before I went, and she said,
135
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.399
you know, whenever there's repressive societies like this, they try
136
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.680
to keep things out, whether it's rock and roll music
137
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.519
or you know, blue jeans, because it makes people curious
138
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.920
about outside ideas, outside values. And this is a very
139
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.439
young country. Half the countries under the age of twenty five,
140
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.560
and things can really change. And to me, like a
141
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.720
comedy festival felt like something that's pushing things to be
142
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.800
more open and to push a dialogue. And you kind
143
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:39.959
of have to make a choice of whether you're going
144
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.040
to isolate or engage. And for me, especially being me
145
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.560
and looking the way I do and being from a
146
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.800
Muslim background, it felt like something I should be a
147
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.680
part of and I hope it pushes things in a
148
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:53.360
posta direction.
149
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.360
Kimmeill was a very good follow up here.
150
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.959
Did you have these concerns when you performed in India
151
00:06:59.160 --> 00:06:59.920
many years ago?
152
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.959
Yeah, I mean there's stuff there that you know, I
153
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.959
don't feel great about, and and I did it, and
154
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.439
you know, I'm Indian and it was an important experience
155
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.279
for me. And you know, comedy in India is really thriving,
156
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.759
and people are are talking about things that are happening
157
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.240
there and some of them are even you know, go
158
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.759
to jail and things. But for this re odd thing,
159
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.879
you know, it was something I really thought about, and
160
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.519
even before I went, I said, you know, I'm going
161
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.000
to do this and and I hope it's positive. And
162
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.920
you know, if I'm going to do this, I share
163
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.120
the concerns that people have brought up and it's all valid.
164
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.199
And I said to myself and my team, I said,
165
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.439
if we do this, part of the fee should go
166
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.600
to support causes that support uh, you know, free press
167
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.879
and human rights and.
168
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.800
Which causes specifically, or you think I think I read
169
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.199
about Reporters without Borders, which I think, and and Human
170
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.600
Rights Watch as well, and you know it's a complicated issue,
171
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.600
but you know, I felt like it was it was
172
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.600
something that's pushing things in the right I hope.
173
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.800
And then one more clip from the Not So Cancel Disease.
174
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.560
Sorry again, his body language is very defensive in this segment.
175
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:10.240
You felt that it was that in the long term,
176
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.279
this will be a positive people seeing comedy and American
177
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:15.360
comedy and Freeze.
178
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:15.600
Yeah.
179
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.879
I mean, so many people were there talking about stuff,
180
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.839
and I hope people see that and they go, wow,
181
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.959
this was really great and I want more of this,
182
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.360
not just in comedy but in everything, to push things
183
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.120
to be more open and to have the ability to
184
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.800
say what we want and to have dissent and all
185
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.000
this stuff, and hopefully it's a step in that direction.
186
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.360
Nice job, Jimmy Kimmel. Tom Sagora posted last night we
187
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.159
went to the only comedy club in Riot and had
188
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.240
an amazing time. The comics were so warm and welcoming
189
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.519
and the crowd was incredible. We did the exact same
190
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.320
sets we were doing the States, and they were acted
191
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.679
just like a crowd at home would well minus the
192
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.200
bit on pickleball. So glad we went, and tonight we'll
193
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.399
do the arena. Lots of love to all the comics
194
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.799
we met and to the crowd that came out. The
195
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.559
comments on Segora's a social media post did not go
196
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.879
so well, but again, he'll sell out the garden to
197
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.840
seconds at the Redd Comedy Festival tonight. Andrew Schultz. We're
198
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.039
told Andrew Schultz always comes close to the line with
199
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.120
his jokes. He's quick witted, fearless, and has made a
200
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.480
name for himself on social media. Let's find out how
201
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.919
fearless you are, Andrew, go for it. A Daria go
202
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.919
for It. British magician Ben Hort brings sleek showmanship and
203
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.639
mind bending allusions to the Reod Comedy Festival. You may
204
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.320
know him from Britain's Got Talent. Hannibal Buris brings his
205
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.200
dry wit and deceptively laid back delivery to the Read
206
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.679
Comedy Festival, promising a set that blends sharp observational beats
207
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.559
with off kilter asides. I love the copy here, like
208
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.000
whoever wrote this the choices of words. I don't know
209
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:43.519
if this is accidental A subconscious somebody screaming for help.
210
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.639
I've been getting these from factmagazines, dot com, and I
211
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.480
don't know where they pulled them from. Here's what I'm
212
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.200
zerving in on. In the Hannibal Buris description, we're told
213
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.240
he slides from observed life hacks to pop culture de
214
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.519
tours with effortless timing. And I've noticed all these description
215
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.840
will have words like hacks or sharpened. I don't know
216
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.600
there's some subtle commentary there. Sebastian Manascalco, we're told he's
217
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.559
influenced by greats like George Carlin and Jerry Seinfeld. That's it.
218
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.759
No description of his comedy. I love it all. This
219
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.679
Ria talk is distracting us from what should be the
220
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.240
major comedy topic this week, which is, of course, Jim
221
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.720
Gaffigan's Bourbon set. Tonight is the super cool after party.
222
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.840
I think tickets are still available if you want to go.
223
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.320
You can't just go to the after party. You must
224
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.679
have attended Jim's bourbon comedy show. They remind us, don't
225
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.320
forget to show your ticket, and they hope to see
226
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.759
you there. Hashtag Louisville, hashtag Bourbon, hashtag Kentucky hashtag father
227
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.360
Time hashtag October and there's big bourbon news. Jim Gaffigan
228

has partnered with Buzzard's Roost Distillery on a one of
229
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.559
a kind, single barrel bourbon selection. That's right, a special
230
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.000
release six year old whiskey featuring a mash bill of
231
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.440
seventy five percent corn, twenty one percent rye and four
232
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.919
percent malted barley. Buzzards Rus will be pouring samples at
233
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.799
the Really Cool after party tonight, which is at the
234
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.320

237
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:17.200
retail price per bottle, which features a commemorative Jim Gaffigan label,

00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.919
is one hundred and twenty five dollars. Late Nighter says
239
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.080
if you've seen headlines about Jimmy Kimmel losing half its audience,
