Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
This is one of those days where I couldn't wait
to get the mic. I'm telling you, I taped this
right after I recorded a Tuesday show because I couldn't wait. So,
if you're like Johnny Mack, Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld
had a street brawl, how can we not talking about it?
If that happened, I'll do it as a bonus episode.
The Sebastian Manuscaco thing has me out of my mind.
But there's even one more thing before that that I
(00:30):
want to go first. And I say, Hi, Hi, I'm
Johnny mcdaily Comedy News. You figured all that outl ready.
Let's do this a little cornack Red Fox, Rick James
and Buckwheat, Red Fox, Rick James and Buckwheat. You see,
there's this new Eddie Murphy documentary that I don't even
think I mentioned. Yesterday was so packed. That's out on Netflix.
We're gonna have a ton of Eddie Murphy press this week.
He'll be out making the rounds and I'm sure I'll
(00:52):
do a lot of Eddie stories this the week goes on.
But this headline was too good. Red Fox, Rick James
and Buckwheat. Eddie Murphy told USA Today, I paid for
a lot of funerals, but I don't go to funerals Eddie,
who's sixty four now, which is just terrifying because he
used to be nineteen back when I was fourteen thirteen.
Eddie revealed that he has paid for the funerals of
(01:13):
Red Fox Rick James, purchased tombstones for William Buckwheat, Thomas Junior,
who you may know from The Little Rascal Slash Our
Gang Slash Eddie playing a version of that character on SNL,
and Tim Moore, who played Kingfish on Amos and Andy.
Eddie shared he'd only attended two funerals in his life.
The first was for his biological father, Charles Edward Murphy,
(01:35):
and for his stepfather Vernon Lynch. Eddie said they shouldn't
even have funerals. I'm like, this funeral is morbid. The
whole people in attendant sing your loved one out there emotionally.
The whole ritual is too much. So no JUDGMENTI I'm
just observing that implies. Eddie did not attend the funeral
of his brother, Charlie Murphy. Eddie said he plans to
be cremated when his time comes. I'm on that same boat,
(01:57):
Eddie says. When I kick out, I'm not having no
funeral and being laying up there and people coming and
look at me, luring me on the ground, and there's
no funeral and there's no memorial, none of that stuff.
Just keep it rolling, none of that trauma. It's way
too much a funeral. I agree. Eddie doesn't care what
happens with his ashes. He says, I don't give an
f what they do with them. Just as long as
you don't have people standing around in my ashes and
not trying to be in the urn while everybody's crying.
I don't want to have that moment, Okay. Sebastian Maniscalco's
(02:20):
trailer Johnny Mack, you've been screaming about it for two days.
How bad could it be? Well, I'm going to play
it for you, but I need you to understand. Why
don't you go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
Podcast group where I posted this trailer, Because what you're
not going to see here on this audio podcast is
just the stupid faces Sebastian is making to sell these jokes.
(02:42):
I mean, like hacks are like, oh my God, are
you a hack? This is just unbelievable. Now, I'll play
you the material. The material is not great, but when
you add on the stupid faces, this is just atrocious.
So this has me wondering. Is hilarious where comedy acts
go to? Like Bill Burr went on hilarious and handing
(03:04):
in his worst special, Gaffigan Special was not his best?
Is hilarious not the place for good comedy. It's hilarious
where you go when you're on your way down? Is
that what hilarious is? I'm out of my mind at
this trailer, So I've made a couple of its here
because there's a lot of music and you don't need
to hear the music. I'll leave the comedy parts alone,
but please understand you're not seeing the horrific faces. Go
to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News. Did I say
(03:26):
YouTube earlier? It's a Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast
Group on Facebook. Daily Comedy News Podcast Group on Facebook.
I have posted this trailer. You have to see how
bad it is. But let's listen.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I have a mild case of sleep app ding. This
is where I'm at. I'm gonna take my mouth shut
so I don't pass away in my sleep. If someone
came to rob my house, they would look at me
and go, someone was already here.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I went to a drug store today. It took out
can by the way you take out cash nowadays, like kryptonite.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This kid was in his early twenties. He's like, what
is that? I said, it's money.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It's used for goods and services.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Some people do venmo.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Maybe you went out to dinner. Somebody paid, and then
the rest of the group said, no, well.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Venmo you later, no, you pay me.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
No you ever look at Jeff Bezos thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I was a complete nerd.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You take a look at Bezos now ripped the shreds
on his super yacht in the Medidaranian and the.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Boxes keeping coming. What's the doctor comes in.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
She's like, we're gonna need some urine. Gotta tell you
people something.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
My sample for you. I wouldn't mind next to a
guys that look like Scotch.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'm not handing in root beer as a sample.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I mean, she Louise Sebastian, what is going on with that?
Not good? Not good? All right, let's stop off on
gossip corner. One of the Facebook group members sent me
this one on the side. This was on Instagram. Somebody
on Instagram goes by the handle McCoy jen Fan. Now,
I don't know if this is true or not, but
this is according to McCoy jen Fans, so this may
(05:20):
not be true at all. This is not news. This
is gossip Corner. McCoy Jenfans said of Nicky Glazer's controversial
SNL appearance. And I assume this is during Good Nights.
I'll have to go look at this. The musical guest
standing next to her, but she had to turn around
and approach and impose herself on the cast. I saw
Chloe Feinneman roll her eyes to another cast, remember when
she looked at Nicky's direction. Historically, if the SNL cast
(05:42):
ostracizes the host after the episode, that means it bombed
and they didn't like them. Nicky proved history right. All right, now,
I have this on the DVR. I'm going to pause
my recording and look at this myself. Be right back
well to you. I'll be back in half a second. Okay,
it is a half second later. I have here on
my phone the Utube TV app where we don't get
the Disney channels, No ABC, we don't support fascism on
(06:04):
the YouTube app. I'm gonna hit play here, so you'll
kind of here. It should sound like a guy playing
Saturday Night Live on his phone. That is what it
should sound to you. This is not the usual audio
rips I do. And I'll do a little play by
play here. Let's see. Okay, I have it paused. There's
a still card of Nicki Glazer. I'm one hour, thirty
two minutes and fifty four seconds into a file that
(06:24):
is one thirty five oh five. I'm gonna hit play here.
Let's see what happens. All right, there's Nicky in the middle. Michael,
this amazing cast, and this was one of the best
weeks of my entire life. Thank you so much for
all right, and we're zooming out, and no one is
approaching Nicki. All right, she hugged Uh she hugged Somber,
(06:46):
I guess and uh yeah, No one wants to talk
to Nicky Glazer at all. Oh wow, this is awkward. Wow.
All right, you got to actually see this for yourself,
if you've a way to see it. No one approaching
her at all, and that's it. Wow. Yeah, wow. Okay,
(07:07):
Now I'm going to go to the previous week and
see what happened. Be back in half a second. Okay,
I'm back. I tried to look at the Miles Teller episode,
which is also one thirty five oh five, but it
seems to get cut off before the good night. So
here I have queued up here Sabrina Carpenter's episode from
three weeks ago, and we are one thirty two twenty
into a file that's one thirty three forty six. As
(07:29):
a hit play here, she's center stage with the cast
standing in a very similar formation to the Nikky episode.
The Sabrina was her own musical guest, so there's not
a musical guest with her, and let me hit play here.
Let's see what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Thank you everybody. Thank you so much to Lauren, Thank
you to the amazing past and crew.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
This has been one of my biggest dreams and I'm
so so grateful.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Thank you guys for having me, thank you for laughing,
and thank you create such an amazing audience. And he
very nice. Okay, no one approaching her yet. Let's see,
she's just in the middle. She's walking back now she
is being hugged by cast members and it got cut
off for an NBA promo. So I'm not sure I
have enough evidence there, but the nicky Glazer does seem
(08:15):
a little awkward. The San Francisco Gate went with this headline,
fired SNL comic jokes about the Warriors and Nancy Pelosi
at San Francisco set. You know who the fired SNL
comic is? Shane Gillis? Is that what his resume is?
Just forever? Just that he was invited to the cast, disinvited,
and he's now been on the show twice, so it
seems like we're all over it. And it's not like
he played the Riodd Comedy Festival. We're really just gonna
(08:37):
call Shane Gillis fired SNL comic forever. I guess we are.
The SF Gate right says tens of thousands descended on
the Chase Center, blowing vape smoke and chugging last minute
bud lights. It's easy to forget what an odd route
headliner Shane Gillis is taken to the top of the
comedy industry. They are minus. In twenty nineteen, Gillis was
hired and probably fired by SNL. If you listen to
(08:57):
me every day, you're probably familiar with that. I will
skip ahead. Early into his hour long set, Shane Gillis
said this will all end soon, The Gate tells us.
Gillis referenced his friendship with Joe Rogan and made jokes
about pedophilia, Black Lives Matter, and people with Down syndrome,
but no one at the Chase Center walked out, We're
so much as booed their displeasure. Gillis apparently was approving
of the crowd's stomach for his more controversial material and said, Okay,
(09:20):
you guys can f around a little. The Gates says,
for what it's worth, the only I've heard at a
Bay Area comedy show where when Dave Chappelle brought out
Elon Musk, Gillis told a joke about going to a
Pride parade. It did not go over, and he said
that one might have been more transphobic than funny, which
is a great way to recover. We're told Gillis was
a welcome relief after his two openers, James McCann and
Tommy Pope, slogged their way through tire jokes about the
(09:42):
WNBA in San Francisco's gay population. They add, it's hard
to get an exact read on Gillis's politics. He freely
admits he looks like the kind of person who'd resegregate schools,
but he's taken as many shots at the right as
he does the left. Jim Gaffigan got a major watch
job by Variety while Johnny Mack was on a plane
the other day. By the way, I forgot to mention
yesterday show, if you are traveling, be ready, Just be ready.
(10:04):
My flight home took off at two twenty am. That
was not the plan. It's a mess out there. When
we landed at Newark, I counted there were two runways.
I counted on the closer runway twenty five planes waiting
to take off. The other runway had more than twenty five.
I would guess forty or so just waiting. Because you know,
you leave your gate, so your flight is technically on time.
(10:25):
The departures on time. The arrival that's the arrival airports problem.
But we took off from gate B seventy three. We're
good here. What a mess, stay home. Watch job for
Jim Gaffigan from Variety. They write, if Tom Hanks is
known as the ever man of movies, you know the
ordinary guy so approachable and unpretentious that just about anybody
can relate to him in one way or another. Then
(10:46):
Jim Gaffigan is the every man of comedy. Are they
saying that Tom Hanks wouldn't call you back if you
helped him early in his career? Is that what they're
saying about Tom Hanks? That's not cool, Tom Hanks. If
somebody had you on the radio show when you weren't
that well known, and you would come up, and then
suddenly you were too good to come up, people would
say you were a jerk Tom Hanks. I hope that's
not true. That would be awful if that were true
(11:07):
of Tom Hanks. I can't believe Tom Hanks would behave
that way. Pauseka's hostess making himself laugh. Jim Gaffigan focuses
his humor on everyday observations about universal experiences. Jim said
of the current climate, not the actual climate, the political climate.
Jim said, I think this will go down in history,
(11:28):
and it may be ending as we speak, but this
is the best time that stand up comedy has ever had.
When I started Versus, even in the time of Lenny
Bruce or George Cartland, comedy was a much more middle class,
lower middle class occupation, meaning there wasn't an expectation of
upper middle class existence. Now, if you're a functional comedian,
you can make a great living. So from a monetary standpoint,
like having a kind of financial security, it would never exist,
(11:50):
but it exists now. Jim talked about not putting politics
in the act, but used the pandemic as an example,
and he said, there were expectations that you can address it.
But people, we've gone through the pandemic, we don't hear
too much about it. Meetians that will have very strong views.
You know, I have a formula bringing up this hot
button issue. Their audience will stay with them. They'll have
some brilliant insights surrounding it. But I'm kind of the opinion,
you know, people they want to live in denial, but
they also want to break from it. I think that
(12:11):
might be majorly informed by the one time Jim did
get political on Twitter and got a lot of comments
in his general direction. The article then gets a lot
of run from Caroline Hirst, who seems to be pretty
tight with the variety folks. Caroline's getting a lot of
press during this festival anyway, Jim Gaffigan wax job in Variety,
and Bill Burr still getting a lot of work despite
(12:33):
playing the reodd Comedy Festival doesn't seem to have messed
him up at all. He's even nominated for a Grammy Award. Well.
Bill Burr is joining the cast of Bender, a coming
of age comedy which is going to film in Ireland
next spring. It's described as super bad meets dairy Girls.
Doesn't that sound fantastic? Yeah? Bender is based on the
late seventies punk Dublin coming of age experiences of Adrian Cunningham,
(12:56):
who wrote the script. The story unfolds around the frenzy
surrounding the impending visit by the Pope. Bill Burr plays
a gruff American record store owner who convinces a ragtag
gang of teenage misfits that they're best and possibly only
chance to lose their virginity before graduating high school. Is
at a massive open air mass for visiting the Pope.
(13:17):
Are you just imagine this? Hey? You want to get laid,
you gotta go see the Pope? Okay, like that is
that what Bill Burr's doing? Now? Okay, Johnny Mack, you
are feisty today. I told you The Sebastian trailer really
wound me up. I had to record back to back
all right. New York Comedy Festival continues. See if the
website's working today, Johnny said, you taped it back to
(13:41):
back episodes. You know that the website's working. You just
used it ten minutes ago. Look go with the bit,
will you. I'm not reading fifty things like I did
on yesterday's podcast. Let's look for big names. You don't
make this easy. No no no no no no no
no no no. That's ten no no. Todd Glass, no
(14:04):
no no, no, no no no. Alex Borstein at seventh
thirty at the Bell House. Mike Kaplan at q ed
Astoria at seventh thirty. I mean, Mike's pretty solid and
probably the best comic I've mentioned in a couple of days.
And he's doing Queens and I'm from Queen's. I'm allowed
to insult Queen's. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, boy,
(14:28):
this is just it's just off this year. Matty Smith
at nine fifteen. No no no no no. Chris Gethard
at ten o'clock at UCB Comics to watch Unrepped at ten.
Leonard Hoods at ten thirty. I mean, he's really good,
but nobody knows how it is and not your Wednesday
(14:49):
at the New York Comedy Festival. Well let's do this
one because Wednesday is trivia night. Now, I know the
trivia guys listen, and no, I haven't been there, not
that it really matters. With the trivia guys, They've got
this whole business going on. The place is so outed.
We're at the point of the Yogi bar line of
nobody goes there. It's two crowded. The trivia guys got
it rocky. I mean, I have to leave my house
like an hour and a half before trivia to make
(15:09):
sure I get my table in the corner. So trivia guys,
I know you listen. I appreciate you listening. I feel
bad I have to be there. It's just been such
a busy, crazy months. My plan is to be there
this evening. But I saw this story and I was thinking,
maybe we should combine forces from La Magazine, Comedy Club,
The Crow, and Santa Monica. I should have hit it
when I was out there over the weekend. I had
a very busy weekend. They have Trivial comedy, an intense,
(15:32):
hilarious news show for stand up lovers, fun fact enthusiasts,
and everyone in between. Right, how does this work? Each
show welcomes five comedians each do a ten minute set
around a classic pub trivia category like or it's an
entertainment or sports. Between the comedian sets, the host asked
the audience trivia questions. Trivia guys, we gotta combine. We'll
(15:53):
talk to other brewery folks, set up shop on a
Saturday night. There's a thing here. First place wins fifty bucks.
Best team name gets a free beer. I don't know
how we'll decide who has the best team name, and
it won't be me, because I'm just gonna use the
team name I use every week. Audience members can play
in teams up to four one of the host set.
I've seen people who don't know each other but join
(16:14):
teams together just because they want maximum power. As a
trivia expert who often finishes in tenth place, here's what
you gotta do. You can't just have a bunch of
guys in their late fifties early sixties. That doesn't work.
You gotta have one of the guys bring their twenty
something year old daughter and then she gets like five
extra points because the trivia guys they'll ask what I
(16:34):
call the Ariana Grande questions that we just don't know.
But when daughter comes then you get those points. And
those are the weeks that you do okay, and you
get a T shirt or a hat. You're a growler.
And I'll leave you with this. Comedian Catherine Ryan gotten
in some trouble. She was on the original UK version
of Have I Got News for You, and she called
Sir David Beckham the C word. Yeah, she was hosting
(16:57):
the show. The conversation turned to Sir Beckham being knighted
by King Charles. I'm sure you listen to the Palace
Intrigue podcast that are right four and you know all
about that story. If you don't Palace Intrigue wherever you
get your shows. Apparently in the past, Sir Beckham was
upset that he hadn't been knighted and had called the
Honors committee unappreciative sea words and said it was a
(17:18):
disgrace they had been snubbed from the New Year's Honors list. However,
now that he's a knight Comedian Mazie Adam was on
the panel and said it would have been nice and
maybe poetic if Charles had gotten his own back, nighting
him and going a rise, You sea word. Katherin Ryan
tagged with, I don't know if we're allowed to broadcast
the sea word, but you did reference Victoria Beckham earlier,
and we'll allow that ouch. And that's your comedy news
(17:39):
for today by
Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
This is one of those days where I couldn't wait

not be true at all. This is not news. This
is gossip Corner. McCoy Jenfans said of Nicky Glazer's controversial
SNL appearance. And I assume this is during Good Nights.
I'll have to go look at this. The musical guest
standing next to her, but she had to turn around
and approach and impose herself on the cast. I saw
Chloe Feinneman roll her eyes to another cast, remember when
she looked at Nicky's direction. Historically, if the SNL cast
(05:42):
ostracizes the host after the episode, that means it bombed
and they didn't like them. Nicky proved history right. All right, now,
I have this on the DVR. I'm going to pause
my recording and look at this myself. Be right back
well to you. I'll be back in half a second. Okay,
it is a half second later. I have here on
my phone the Utube TV app where we don't get
the Disney channels, No ABC, we don't support fascism on
(06:04):
the YouTube app. I'm gonna hit play here, so you'll
kind of here. It should sound like a guy playing
Saturday Night Live on his phone. That is what it
should sound to you. This is not the usual audio
rips I do. And I'll do a little play by
play here. Let's see. Okay, I have it paused. There's
a still card of Nicki Glazer. I'm one hour, thirty
two minutes and fifty four seconds into a file that
(06:24):
is one thirty five oh five. I'm gonna hit play here.
Let's see what happens. All right, there's Nicky in the middle. Michael,
this amazing cast, and this was one of the best
weeks of my entire life. Thank you so much for
all right, and we're zooming out, and no one is
approaching Nicki. All right, she hugged Uh she hugged Somber,
(06:46):
I guess and uh yeah, No one wants to talk
to Nicky Glazer at all. Oh wow, this is awkward. Wow.
All right, you got to actually see this for yourself,
if you've a way to see it. No one approaching
her at all, and that's it. Wow. Yeah, wow. Okay,
(07:07):
Now I'm going to go to the previous week and
see what happened. Be back in half a second. Okay,
I'm back. I tried to look at the Miles Teller episode,
which is also one thirty five oh five, but it
seems to get cut off before the good night. So
here I have queued up here Sabrina Carpenter's episode from
three weeks ago, and we are one thirty two twenty
into a file that's one thirty three forty six. As
(07:29):
a hit play here, she's center stage with the cast
standing in a very similar formation to the Nikky episode.
The Sabrina was her own musical guest, so there's not
a musical guest with her, and let me hit play here.
Let's see what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Thank you everybody. Thank you so much to Lauren, Thank
you to the amazing past and crew.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
This has been one of my biggest dreams and I'm
so so grateful.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Thank you guys for having me, thank you for laughing,
and thank you create such an amazing audience. And he
very nice. Okay, no one approaching her yet. Let's see,
she's just in the middle. She's walking back now she
is being hugged by cast members and it got cut
off for an NBA promo. So I'm not sure I
have enough evidence there, but the nicky Glazer does seem
(08:15):
a little awkward. The San Francisco Gate went with this headline,
fired SNL comic jokes about the Warriors and Nancy Pelosi
at San Francisco set. You know who the fired SNL
comic is? Shane Gillis? Is that what his resume is?
Just forever? Just that he was invited to the cast, disinvited,
and he's now been on the show twice, so it
seems like we're all over it. And it's not like
he played the Riodd Comedy Festival. We're really just gonna
(08:37):
call Shane Gillis fired SNL comic forever. I guess we are.
The SF Gate right says tens of thousands descended on
the Chase Center, blowing vape smoke and chugging last minute
bud lights. It's easy to forget what an odd route
headliner Shane Gillis is taken to the top of the
comedy industry. They are minus. In twenty nineteen, Gillis was
hired and probably fired by SNL. If you listen to
(08:57):
me every day, you're probably familiar with that. I will
skip ahead. Early into his hour long set, Shane Gillis
said this will all end soon, The Gate tells us.
Gillis referenced his friendship with Joe Rogan and made jokes
about pedophilia, Black Lives Matter, and people with Down syndrome,
but no one at the Chase Center walked out, We're
so much as booed their displeasure. Gillis apparently was approving
of the crowd's stomach for his more controversial material and said, Okay,
(09:20):
you guys can f around a little. The Gates says,
for what it's worth, the only I've heard at a
Bay Area comedy show where when Dave Chappelle brought out
Elon Musk, Gillis told a joke about going to a
Pride parade. It did not go over, and he said
that one might have been more transphobic than funny, which
is a great way to recover. We're told Gillis was
a welcome relief after his two openers, James McCann and
Tommy Pope, slogged their way through tire jokes about the
(09:42):
WNBA in San Francisco's gay population. They add, it's hard
to get an exact read on Gillis's politics. He freely
admits he looks like the kind of person who'd resegregate schools,
but he's taken as many shots at the right as
he does the left. Jim Gaffigan got a major watch
job by Variety while Johnny Mack was on a plane
the other day. By the way, I forgot to mention
yesterday show, if you are traveling, be ready, Just be ready.
(10:04):
My flight home took off at two twenty am. That
was not the plan. It's a mess out there. When
we landed at Newark, I counted there were two runways.
I counted on the closer runway twenty five planes waiting
to take off. The other runway had more than twenty five.
I would guess forty or so just waiting. Because you know,
you leave your gate, so your flight is technically on time.
(10:25):
The departures on time. The arrival that's the arrival airports problem.
But we took off from gate B seventy three. We're
good here. What a mess, stay home. Watch job for
Jim Gaffigan from Variety. They write, if Tom Hanks is
known as the ever man of movies, you know the
ordinary guy so approachable and unpretentious that just about anybody
can relate to him in one way or another. Then
(10:46):
Jim Gaffigan is the every man of comedy. Are they
saying that Tom Hanks wouldn't call you back if you
helped him early in his career? Is that what they're
saying about Tom Hanks? That's not cool, Tom Hanks. If
somebody had you on the radio show when you weren't
that well known, and you would come up, and then
suddenly you were too good to come up, people would
say you were a jerk Tom Hanks. I hope that's
not true. That would be awful if that were true
(11:07):
of Tom Hanks. I can't believe Tom Hanks would behave
that way. Pauseka's hostess making himself laugh. Jim Gaffigan focuses
his humor on everyday observations about universal experiences. Jim said
of the current climate, not the actual climate, the political climate.
Jim said, I think this will go down in history,
(11:28):
and it may be ending as we speak, but this
is the best time that stand up comedy has ever had.
When I started Versus, even in the time of Lenny
Bruce or George Cartland, comedy was a much more middle class,
lower middle class occupation, meaning there wasn't an expectation of
upper middle class existence. Now, if you're a functional comedian,
you can make a great living. So from a monetary standpoint,
like having a kind of financial security, it would never exist,
(11:50):
but it exists now. Jim talked about not putting politics
in the act, but used the pandemic as an example,
and he said, there were expectations that you can address it.
But people, we've gone through the pandemic, we don't hear
too much about it. Meetians that will have very strong views.
You know, I have a formula bringing up this hot
button issue. Their audience will stay with them. They'll have
some brilliant insights surrounding it. But I'm kind of the opinion,
you know, people they want to live in denial, but
they also want to break from it. I think that
(12:11):
might be majorly informed by the one time Jim did
get political on Twitter and got a lot of comments
in his general direction. The article then gets a lot
of run from Caroline Hirst, who seems to be pretty
tight with the variety folks. Caroline's getting a lot of
press during this festival anyway, Jim Gaffigan wax job in Variety,
and Bill Burr still getting a lot of work despite
(12:33):
playing the reodd Comedy Festival doesn't seem to have messed
him up at all. He's even nominated for a Grammy Award. Well.
Bill Burr is joining the cast of Bender, a coming
of age comedy which is going to film in Ireland
next spring. It's described as super bad meets dairy Girls.
Doesn't that sound fantastic? Yeah? Bender is based on the
late seventies punk Dublin coming of age experiences of Adrian Cunningham,
(12:56):
who wrote the script. The story unfolds around the frenzy
surrounding the impending visit by the Pope. Bill Burr plays
a gruff American record store owner who convinces a ragtag
gang of teenage misfits that they're best and possibly only
chance to lose their virginity before graduating high school. Is
at a massive open air mass for visiting the Pope.
(13:17):
Are you just imagine this? Hey? You want to get laid,
you gotta go see the Pope? Okay, like that is
that what Bill Burr's doing? Now? Okay, Johnny Mack, you
are feisty today. I told you The Sebastian trailer really
wound me up. I had to record back to back
all right. New York Comedy Festival continues. See if the
website's working today, Johnny said, you taped it back to
(13:41):
back episodes. You know that the website's working. You just
used it ten minutes ago. Look go with the bit,
will you. I'm not reading fifty things like I did
on yesterday's podcast. Let's look for big names. You don't
make this easy. No no no no no no no
no no no. That's ten no no. Todd Glass, no
(14:04):
no no, no, no no no. Alex Borstein at seventh
thirty at the Bell House. Mike Kaplan at q ed
Astoria at seventh thirty. I mean, Mike's pretty solid and
probably the best comic I've mentioned in a couple of days.
And he's doing Queens and I'm from Queen's. I'm allowed
to insult Queen's. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, boy,
(14:28):
this is just it's just off this year. Matty Smith
at nine fifteen. No no no no no. Chris Gethard
at ten o'clock at UCB Comics to watch Unrepped at ten.
Leonard Hoods at ten thirty. I mean, he's really good,
but nobody knows how it is and not your Wednesday
(14:49):
at the New York Comedy Festival. Well let's do this
one because Wednesday is trivia night. Now, I know the
trivia guys listen, and no, I haven't been there, not
that it really matters. With the trivia guys, They've got
this whole business going on. The place is so outed.
We're at the point of the Yogi bar line of
nobody goes there. It's two crowded. The trivia guys got
it rocky. I mean, I have to leave my house
like an hour and a half before trivia to make
(15:09):
sure I get my table in the corner. So trivia guys,
I know you listen. I appreciate you listening. I feel
bad I have to be there. It's just been such
a busy, crazy months. My plan is to be there
this evening. But I saw this story and I was thinking,
maybe we should combine forces from La Magazine, Comedy Club,
The Crow, and Santa Monica. I should have hit it
when I was out there over the weekend. I had
a very busy weekend. They have Trivial comedy, an intense,
(15:32):
hilarious news show for stand up lovers, fun fact enthusiasts,
and everyone in between. Right, how does this work? Each
show welcomes five comedians each do a ten minute set
around a classic pub trivia category like or it's an
entertainment or sports. Between the comedian sets, the host asked
the audience trivia questions. Trivia guys, we gotta combine. We'll
(15:53):
talk to other brewery folks, set up shop on a
Saturday night. There's a thing here. First place wins fifty bucks.
Best team name gets a free beer. I don't know
how we'll decide who has the best team name, and
it won't be me, because I'm just gonna use the
team name I use every week. Audience members can play
in teams up to four one of the host set.
I've seen people who don't know each other but join
(16:14):
teams together just because they want maximum power. As a
trivia expert who often finishes in tenth place, here's what
you gotta do. You can't just have a bunch of
guys in their late fifties early sixties. That doesn't work.
You gotta have one of the guys bring their twenty
something year old daughter and then she gets like five
extra points because the trivia guys they'll ask what I
(16:34):
call the Ariana Grande questions that we just don't know.
But when daughter comes then you get those points. And
those are the weeks that you do okay, and you
get a T shirt or a hat. You're a growler.
And I'll leave you with this. Comedian Catherine Ryan gotten
in some trouble. She was on the original UK version
of Have I Got News for You, and she called
Sir David Beckham the C word. Yeah, she was hosting
(16:57):
the show. The conversation turned to Sir Beckham being knighted
by King Charles. I'm sure you listen to the Palace
Intrigue podcast that are right four and you know all
about that story. If you don't Palace Intrigue wherever you
get your shows. Apparently in the past, Sir Beckham was
upset that he hadn't been knighted and had called the
Honors committee unappreciative sea words and said it was a
(17:18):
disgrace they had been snubbed from the New Year's Honors list. However,
now that he's a knight Comedian Mazie Adam was on
the panel and said it would have been nice and
maybe poetic if Charles had gotten his own back, nighting
him and going a rise, You sea word. Katherin Ryan
tagged with, I don't know if we're allowed to broadcast
the sea word, but you did reference Victoria Beckham earlier,
and we'll allow that ouch. And that's your comedy news
(17:39):
