Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callarogas Shark Media. Hello again, I'm Johnny Mac with the
normal episode for Wednesday, September twenty fourth. Jimmy Kimmel returned
to the airwaves last night, and I will do a
bonus episode separating out the Kimmel stuff some other stuff
on the feed that I hope you checked out. Yesterday,
(00:23):
around noon, I dropped an episode with Mark Malkoff. He's
the host of the Inside Late Night podcast, the host
of the Carson Podcast, and the author of the new
book Love Johnny Carson. We had a great convo about
Carson and all things late night. Later today at noon Eastern,
Jason Zinoman from the New York Times and I had
a very spirited discussion about We started about the re
(00:45):
Odd Comedy Festival, which I may or may not be
pronouncing incorrectly, as I learned, who knows. We talked about
whatever that festival is called. We also got quite into
the Colbert and Kimmel of it all, and then some
other comedy stuff on the end. So at noon today
really my favavorite episode I've ever done with Jason Zenman
from the New York Times. And then later in the
afternoon I'll do the Kimmel bonus so that I can
(01:06):
pull together all the clips and everybody's reaction and then
we'll take it from there. All right, here is the
normal episode for Wednesday. You know what I'm feeling bad
for our comedians. You should and will know that got buried.
I mean talk about comedy being timing. Oops, I mean
that just that got lost. I want to talk about
those people, but I cannot find the time. Let's talk
(01:28):
about Caleb here, And apparently I like his interviews better
than I liked his special He was speaking with Autostraddle.
Caleb said, I think our national conversation about so many
things is lacking. And one thing that I think is
really unfortunate is that conversations around queerness specifically really veered
into this precious object's territory, where we were incorrectly made
out to be the sensitive, precious people. It's just not
(01:50):
really reality. I hope we are, and he qualifies queer
and trans people and our allies and people don't understand
us yet but will at some point. I hope we're
moving towards a conversation that's less about policing and being
sensitive and treating us different and special and holding us
up and just going like, no, we actually just want
you to treat us like your neighbors. We actually just
want to be joked around with. We have the same
wants and desires you have. We want to make a
(02:11):
living wage and take care of our families and have
a good time. And I think it's so unfortunate the
conversation has drifted into this psychotic the about trans people,
apparently one of his go to quotes. I shared this
one yesterday. This is a different interview, I think, but
he said, my favorite trait guyes out right now are
conservative Republicans. I don't care. I love them. He pointed
out the ridiculousness of men like Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson,
(02:34):
Vice President Jade Vance, and Florida Governor Rond Dea Santis
worrying about masculinity and scapegoating trans people while wearing little
boat's eyes and so much mascara just to be compelling
and having the vocal inflections of somebody's seen do share.
At Hamburger Mary's Marioki, he was asked, who do you mean?
He said, I'm not seeding home to anybody. I'm not
scared of these mffors. I'm from this place just as
(02:55):
much as anybody else is, and don't get to tell
me we're something that we're not, or that we don't
belong where we're from, because we do. Model Comedian is
now streaming on HBO. Max Andrew Santino had caught up
with Variety. I was telling you about that before all
this Kimmel stuff started. I like what Santino said here.
A lot of us want to feel more free, so
we're doing our own thing. A lot of people are
(03:15):
making significantly more money doing their own thing. They going
down the traditional studio route. It took us a long
time to realize these guys were robbing us. They were
getting all the money, and we were working really hard,
and they were giving us what we thought we deserved.
We realized if we just made our own world and
not beholding to someone else's idea over what we deserved,
we can build our own audience and make our own future.
I still love television and film. I hope to act again,
I don't see it in my near future, and focusing
(03:37):
on stand up and podcasting and creating my own world
in the digital space. A lot of people you don't
see in TV and film anymore. Because not a lot
of stuff is being made in the comedy circuit in
terms of big commercial comedy films, comedy television shows have
kind of slid into the unknown. There's not a lot
of opportunity unless you're one of Seth Rogan's friends and
they can get on one of his fifty TV shows.
Outside of that, it's a little different. It's a little
bit harder. A lot of comedians, particularly, we're tired of
(03:58):
playing this weird please love meet aim of the business.
Instead they were like, we'll just go right to our
audience and try to connect with them. Did you watch
John Marcos sir Raizi's especially yet on YouTube. It's fantastic.
I do have to give the edge to Maren who
really brought it. But John Marco in a different year
might be the number one special of the year. Good
chance it'll be the number two. The New York Post said, hey,
(04:20):
you've been somewhat known for crowd work. That's still a
big part of your show. John Marco said, it's dependent
on the layout of the space. If you're in a theater,
the people in the back can't here. Still, I was
trying to incorporate it to a certain degree. It makes
it exciting for me. I hate doing the same thing
over and over. I can't guarantee how much crowd work
will be there. I can guarantee you'll be at least
getting eighty percent of the material. Often find you could
(04:40):
do crowd work for two minutes, and if it's great,
the audience will got in their fix. They got to
feel the part of something can only happen on this show,
and that was risky. He got into the physicality of
his act. He said, one time there was a New
York comedy club booker who didn't pass me because they
said I was to one man's show. I told my
friends at the time, I can mumble, I can stand still. Honestly,
I don't think I can. I'm able to deliver a lot,
(05:00):
even if I go to Europe and the audience members
don't fully understand all the jokes. They appreciate how animated
I am. Now that I have the stage in time,
I'm able to fuse being a one man show with
someone who moves, with someone who uses the space with
obsessive joke writing to deliver an elevated stand up experience.
Talked about his process. I record every single set and
put it into a transcription app. It allows me to
look at the text and pick up at any point.
(05:21):
I have three different word documents going. One is finished
material that I look through, but usually that's all burnt.
I keep it more as a library. The second is
everything I'm working on right now, which I'm trying to consolidate.
Then I have another that's one hundred and eighty pages
of stray thoughts that aren't going anywhere. It's ultimately this
gargantuan mess that will never be sorted out until I'm
forced to do the next hour. Tell the story about
(05:41):
auditioning for Orange is the New Black. The role I
auditioned for was the lead singer of an all white
roots cover band, just two lines. I did a lot
of research and the audition went really well. On the
way out, my manager at the time called and said
bad news. They canceled the audition. They found an actual
all white roots cover band, so they don't need the
role anymore. Alazzo with the La Simes recently did a
(06:02):
series called room Temperature as in no Ice shows to
raise money for detained immigrants. At those shows, she handed
out no your Rights cards. She explains my price point
was thirty dollars a ticket. You don't think thirty dollars
a lot of money, but when you group it with
all these other people, we came up with tens of
thousand dollars for a nonprofit. What's up next for her?
She's working on a tour, which means I have to write.
(06:24):
But you know, it's funny. I had a TV show.
It was only one season, twenty two episodes. It was
canceled in ten years ago, and there's not a day
that goes by that people don't ask me about it.
People always ask me if I do another TV show,
And the truth is I never wanted to because when
I had it, I was the first Latina to do whatever.
And the problem that happens when you're that is that
people don't know how to deal with it. Would basically
have to picture culture and ask them for acceptance. But
(06:45):
now I'm at the point where, having done Upperclassy and
talking about where I am and really taking stock of
where I am mentally in my approach to life, I
think I'm actually ready to do another show that's based
on the themes that I talk about in Upper Classy.
I was talking to a network recently and I was like, look,
I don't want to do a show about a single
woman trying to navigate her life. Been there, done that.
What if you actually explore somebody that's really really happy
where they're at. What about a show with siblings? What
(07:07):
about a show with something a little different? I wonder
if that pitch worked. The Times of India is your
home for comedy news. They reviewed Kevin Hart's show and Movebai.
They tell us Kevin Hart's show included reflections on life,
societal norms and personal growth. After India, Kevin was on
his way to Australia to play Perth, Milbourne and Sydney.
And of course if you want to see Kevin Hart,
(07:28):
you will find him at the Riod Comedy Festival in
Saudi Arabia. Look at Johnny Mack learning from mistakes. He
actually put the Toronto Comedy Festival in the notes today?
Did he bookmark the website? No? Look, he can't have everything,
and he's gonna make you listen while he babbles while
with one hand he types Toronto Comedy Festival. Yes he is,
And why doesn't he make that edit? Because that's not fun.
(07:51):
Tonight in Toronto, Ashwind sings seven o'clock Sabrino Woo seven o'clock.
Did I say Montreal or did I say Toronto? I
don't even remember. This is Toronto. Matthew Brissard nine thirty,
the Monster Island Character Showcase at nine thirty, and a
Hidden Gem show and Midnight Matti. Since the middle of
the week, it will pick up on the weekend. You
need something to do, well, go on the eight hundred
(08:12):
pound Gerilla site. They've got Lewis Gornham's choosing the wrong
story to tell. That's out today. Now apparently the Manila
Times has a comedy section. They made my rovers and
we learned that bark Metza, who's, as you know, the
co founder of Digital Dogs Crypto, connected with comedian Shane
Gillis to explore the intersection of digital communities, culture and comedy.
(08:36):
That's right, Christian bark Metta Barker recently met with Shane
Gillis at a private session in Austin. I can tell
how excited Shane Gillis is about this because there was
a picture of Shane with the guy. The guy also
has pictures with some other famous people. Now, Shane didn't
provide any quotes, so you know, he's clearly really into this.
This isn't just some crypto bro ran into Shane Gillis
(08:57):
and got a selfie and is really good at getting
newspapers to write about you. In the Philippines, Mark Meta said,
comedy thrives on connection and community. Crypto is building those
same connections in new digital spaces. Meeting with Shane shows
how these worlds are coming together. Uh huh. Chris Fleming
caught up with the Stranger dot Com. Chris is fantastic
and says in my Twilight ears, I have no interest
(09:18):
in winning a crowd over. Chris is not that old.
How old is Chris Fleming? Chris, you're thirty eight years old.
You could be fifty six recording a podcast in your basement.
You're still young and have so much future in front
of you. You can tell I'm doing extra silly stories
today because everything has been so serious. You know, if
you want serious, listen to the bonus episodes. I just
(09:40):
need to have some fun. Chris Fleming tells the Stranger
dot Com and my twilight years of thirty six or
whatever I just said two seconds ago, I have no
interest in winning a crowd over at this particular show.
Before I even grabbed the mic, somebody yelled, let's go
weird now, see Chris says curly here like a younger
weird all, and I was like, you know what f this.
I'm gonna do two songs that you're gonna hate, so
I don't have to hear. You gonna make the music
(10:00):
so loud. I'm just gonna kind of stare at the
lights so I don't have to engage. That's fantastic. H
Chris as a Dane Cook bit and has Dane ever
heard it? Yes, and he thinks it's funny. And I'm
so relieved because Dane Cook. A lot of people say
a lot of stuff about Dane Cook. Dane Cook was
like a theater artist when he was starting out. He
bought a theater icality to the stage that hadn't been
done before. I'm not sure I got that word right.
(10:22):
You do what up saying at the utmost respect for
his stage work. Yeah, And we see that kind of
physicality in Jennmorco SIASI and John Marco might be throwing
his phone against the wall now that I compared to
him Dane Cook, I don't know. And J. C. Penney
is doing some comedy with Shaquille O'Neal. By the way,
Shaq and Kevin Hart and those commercials, can you just
stop that? Those make me want I'm throwing my phone
(10:43):
against the wall. The Kevin Hart commercials are just They're
all annoying. And I like Kevin Hart, but it's just
just stop. There's a bunch of commercials in which Shaquille
O'Neal plays the role of a talk show host queuing
up a featured comic whose routine will reveal this week's
really big d up and coming comedians Catherine Blanford and
former JCP associate turn to comedian Von Daniel Or part
(11:07):
of a lineup of talent delivering quote sharp observational takes
on real world shopping and every day essentials. All these
ads are running every day through Christmas Day, and we'll
be on Thursday night. Football. Speaking of football, boy, Johnny
Mack had a good week. I finished like either second
or third. But the most important part is I passed
(11:27):
in the football pool that guy Scott Beckett. It's not
always about the money, it's about making sure you beat
Scott Beckett. And this was a good week for Johnny
Mack in the football Pool Niners, squeak went out. Yikes, guys,
come on man three and zero, but you barely beat
the Seahawks, the Cardinals and the Saints. Not exactly murderers.
Row Carl Bird is the SVP Creative Director for J. C. Penney,
(11:51):
who said, we started dipping our toe in the idea
of comedy. We did Kimmel in the Spring and we
love Giermo and realized there's something here not as sure.
Comedy News on Wednesday again. Keep checking the feed. You
never know when a bonus episode shows up. There might
be one there right now. Download it, take a listen,
share it with your friends social media, help the show grow.
