Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Let me just tell you there's so much going on.
This is another one of those days where there's like
seven things that could be the lead story. Some things
normally would be the lead story, and I'm bouncing them
to tomorrow. What's an example. David Letterman's gonna have Adam Sandluran,
(00:26):
but we'll get to that tomorrow. I got to tell
you what Dave Chappelle had to say, and we got
to talk about this Reodd Comedy Festival. But I wanted
to start with Scott Matthew Davidson. Scott Matthew Davidson became
a firefighter in nineteen ninety four with Latter Company one eighteen.
Scott was on duty on September eleventh, two thousand and one,
and he died in the line of duty that day.
(00:47):
His son, Pete Davidson, is performing tonight at the Reo
Odd Comedy Festival. Pete Davidson spoke about this with Theo
Vaughn on the This Past Weekend podcast. Pete had this
to say, I'm gonna quote it verbatim. I've been getting
a little bit of slack just because my dad died
nine to eleven, So they're like, how could you possibly
go there? I've heard there's subreddits of I think all
these people are in bed with being influenced by the
(01:08):
Saudi Royal family. I just, you know, I get the
flight routing and then I see the number and I go,
I'll go. Pajiber Rights, is there's something to be said
for Pete Davidson's radical honesty? I mean no, they say
not really, it's the same reason every other comedian who
accepted as going. They're selling out for the Saudi royal family.
By the way, Bill Burr did not help himself at all.
People have not reacted well to Bill Burr's comments here
(01:31):
you can hear them on yesterday's podcast Pajiber Rights. They're
selling out for the Saudi Royal family, and while they
like to claim it's just another gig, it's not. Again,
they're being paid vast sums of money so that Saudi
Arabia might be thought of as a destination for popular
comedy instead of the country that engages in forced labor
and executes journalists. The comedy festival is literally being promoted
(01:51):
on Saudi Arabia's tourism page if you can't make it
too ri Odd to Pete Davidson will be in Berlin
on the fifth, then he's hitting Amsterdam London double and
then Belfast on October tenth. If you're in town in
Riod this weekend, you cannot only see Pete Davidson, you
can see Mark Normand who pairs tight writing with fearless wordplay.
Fearless wordplay. Go for it, Mark, fearless wordplay, spinning anxiety, language, quirks,
(02:15):
and everyday awkwardness into big laughs. Look forward to that
fearless wordplay at the Reod Comedy Festival, Mark Norman, Mark
and Sam were recently on Greg fitzimmons podcast. They talked
about the festival. Let's listen. You both got to Saudi Arabia.
A lot of comics are going. It's a big festival.
It's a no women person's going. Oh she is, oh
(02:37):
all right, great they got one. She can't do any
facial jokes because she'll have that wrap around her head.
One of the rules is you can't. I can't kiss
my wife in public. Yeah I want to bring her wow.
Oh yeah, just a show up because in public. And
(02:57):
then Mark told a joke that I can't. I looked
at it. I'm like, I don't even know how I
would possibly clean this up. So I'm quite paraphrasing here,
but Mark said he joked with his wife saying, you
think I'm a jerk hole, and then he said they will,
and then he used a very vulgar term for a
female circumcision. I don't know how I would clean that up.
I couldn't figure out an edit. Dave Chappelle, we found
(03:20):
out what he said. I'm sourcing here from both the
Hollywood Reporter and the New York Times. But when Dave
Chappelle played the Riodd Comedy Festival last Saturday, Chappelle, if
nothing else, always interesting, Chappelle said, Right now, in America,
they say if you talk about Charlie Kirk, then you'll
get canceled. I don't know if that's true, but I'm
going to find out, which is a very Chappelle like thing, right,
Like I could picture I'm just reading the transcript here,
(03:42):
but I could see Chappelle doing the but I'm going
to find out, and doing that thing where he mugs
for the camera and slaps his knee. You could see
Dave doing that, right. I don't know if that's true,
but I'm going to find out. Chappelle later said that
he feared returning to the United States because they're going
to do something to me so that I can't say
what I want to say. Here's Dave Chappelle in Saudi
(04:02):
Arabia claiming that he's being censored in America. Is there
evidence of Dave Chappelle being censored in America? If there is,
I'd love to hear it. My email addresses in the
show notes. You could shoot me a note. I'm happy
to be wrong here. I personally I can't think of
any I'm really trying to think. Did SNL tell him
to lay off something I can't remember? Okay, I want
(04:24):
to be fear here. This is from Deadline February sixteen,
twenty twenty five. The headline Dave Chappelle says SNL producers
forbade him from talking about GAZA and trans people. So
this Deadline piece is talking about how SF gates Dan
Gentilly saw Dave Chappelle at the first of his three
San Francisco stand up appearances. Chappelle alleged he was not
(04:44):
allowed to speak about GAZA and transgender people. NBC did
not immediate respond to a request for comment. I'm not
sure they ever gave a comment. So that's not censoring
free speech. That's SNL saying that's not what we do here. Like,
for example, if I booked Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Podcast.
You've heard me talk with Mike, we clearly get along.
(05:05):
If Mike, for some reason came on here on my
show and I don't know, went into some sort of
crazy hate speech. I don't know why Mike would do
this because that's not his personality. But if he did,
I would choose not to air it. I'm not taking
away his right to say it. He can walk around
Canada all he wants. He can come down to Seattle
and yell into the streets. I don't care, but I
would choose not to have it on my show. So
(05:26):
SNL telling Chappelle chill out to me is different than
Chappelle saying he fears returning to the United States because
they're going to do something to me, so I can't
say what I want to say. Again, Chappelle's been flying
this flag that he's being censored, and I don't see it.
Chappelle joked, if he is censored, he'll use a code phrase,
(05:48):
and I think this material is the same that he
did in the San Francisco shows, if I'm remembering correctly.
Chapelle said, it's got to be something I'd never say
in practice, So if I actually say it, you know,
never to listen to anything I say after that. Here's
the phrase I stand with Israel. Next up, Louis Ck,
performer at the Reod Comedy Festival, is going to do
Bill Maher's show. But I'm confused here. I believe that
(06:12):
appearance is tonight, but the media is reporting fresh off
his performance at the Reodd Comedy Festival, Ck will be
on Bill Maher. But CK's dates at the Reodd Comedy
Festivals not till October sixth, and today is October third,
so something is crossed there. So if you watch Bill
Maher tonight and Seeks not on, don't blame me, but
(06:32):
I think he's on tonight. HBO announced the booking on Thursday,
so that should be all sorts of interesting. I'll see
when it so, assuming that's tonight, I'm not gonna stay
up to one of the morning put out a Saturday episode,
and I was already planning on recording Monday on Sunday,
so I can cover SNL. So I'll probably deal with
that on Monday's episode, just being honest. In other news
(06:54):
things that would normally be story number one, Nicki Glazer
has announced a new special for Hulu which is Disney Plus,
which means Nicki Glazer supports fascism. That's the message we
got off Jimmy Kimmel. Right, you were supposed to cancel
everything Disney, and now Nicki Glazer supports fascism. I'm joking,
sort of. Nicki Glazer supports fascism by doing a deal
(07:16):
with Hulu. She will tape a special supporting fascism at
the fabulous Fox Theater in her hometown of Saint Louis.
No date on that one. Here's a question for Jessica Kerson,
who will be appearing at the Riodd Comedy Festival. Jessica,
when I Google your name, is this the headline you want?
Because this is what comes up in Yahoo under Jessica Kerson.
(07:36):
Jessica Curson, comedian who performed a controversial reod comedy festival
coming to Alabama in the spring, and then the sub
edit a stand up comic who took part in a
comedy festival criticized for being held in a country with
a spotty track record on human rights, will be coming
to Alabama this spring. So Jessica, that's what you did.
I hope the money was worth it. Out today, Mark Maron,
(07:57):
Are we good? That is the Mark Maron documentary. Filmmaker
Julie Seaball was on this very program last Sunday. Check
that out. I feel a little bad for Julie and Mark,
as this is going to get buried in the riad
of it all, theplaylist dot Net says. For all its melancholy,
the film is also surprisingly funny. Maren's stand up remains
laced with self deprecating humor, which cuts just as deep
(08:20):
as it consoles. He finds unexpected punchlines and bleak confessions,
turning tragedy into a communal release. Valve, I've seen pretty
good reviews on that. One of the questions coming up
answered in the doc is Mark Maron going to quit
stand up? David Cross said he's like the Who. Didn't
they have like eleven last tours ever? Which is true.
I saw The Who's Fareworld tour at Giant Stadium in
(08:41):
nineteen eighty nine. Check your calendars. Maren's tour was called
this may be the Last Time. John Delaney is in
disbelief at the title. He said, that's what he called
his last tour. What an exhausting thing. What He's going
to get a boat and sail around corsicar some cramp
as if he's going to move to Vancouver and just
be Mark Maron. That's an insane idea. I was thinking
as I listen to that Maren clip show episode the
(09:02):
other day. You know, Mark Maren has stylized himself, positioned
himself as some sort of outsider. He's not. He may
have been at some point, but as they were playing
the clips, the clips were like Obama and Springsteen and
as he's taken this last lap here Jamie Lee, Curtis,
Mark Hamill, Spike Lee, Jeremy Allen, White, Ben Stiller, Bowen Yang,
(09:27):
Seth Meyers, Mulaney, Sarah Silverman. You know I'm cherry picking.
You know, mixed in here are some lesser known people.
But you know, Mark's not some crazy outsider. He's this
more insider than I think he realizes. Comedy stock Markets,
(09:52):
none of you figured out who the voice is on
Comedy stock Market I'll tell you next week. I'll give
you a hint. Mustache and trans am. Do you have
a now go back and listen hit thirty second, rewind,
go back and listen. I'll talk about that next week.
All right. On the Comedy stock Market if you're a
new listener, Every Friday we make some picks, We bet
on people, and we sell on some people. This week's
(10:12):
buys David Cross. I salute you for your piece on
your website pulling out the performers of the Riod Comedy Festival.
Nice job. Let's buy some David Cross at stock in support.
Let's also buy some Otsco at Costco for that same reason.
She's the one who had the courage to share the contract.
Who are you gonna sell? This week? We are selling
Pete Davidson. His father killed the nine to eleven Pete
(10:32):
Davidson tonight at the Riodd Comedy Festival. Hey, bro, if
you're okay with it, I guess I'm okay with it.
But I'm selling my Pete Davidson stock. I want no
part of it. Sorry. And let's also short sell some stock.
We're gonna take some bets here that some other stocks
are going to go down let's short sell Saturday Night Live.
I think SNL fifty one is gonna be a bust
and specific to this weekend. I don't think they're up
(10:55):
to the task. Bad Bunny as your host that somewhat
steers what the sketches are gonna be, so you're gonna
get like a lot of more solo Hernandez doing that
one thing more solo Hernandez does. He does it very well,
but he does one thing, so you're gonna get that.
I don't know how many sketches realistically you can put
bad Bunny in. There's a certain moment in the universe
right now. I don't know if SNL's up to the task.
(11:17):
Happy to be wrong, but I'm gonna short sell some
SNL stock and make some quick profit when everybody else
panic sells next week. And I'm also gonna short sell
Louis Ck ahead of this Bill maher thing after hearing
some recent Louis Ck statements. I'm just not in the
mood for the way Ck is spinning this. This is
kind of going back to oh no, I'm the victim
(11:38):
here and again Ck at the Riog Comedy Festival, combined
with this Oh yeah, so sorry, women. But look what
happened to me. I'm not buying it. So let's buy
David Cross, Let's buy Otsco. Let's sell Pete Davidson, Let's
short sell SNL and let's short sell Louis Ck. That
is your comedy stock market. This weekend at Chicago, Cameron Esposito,
she is very funny. She's taking on the theater in
(11:59):
the re at Steppenwolf's Ensemble Theater. It's the debut of
her new one person show Feet. A year ago, Cameron
underwent a minor medical procedure for a foot injury, but
after extended antibiotic dosing to treat possible infection, she contracted
sea diff, which is a secondary colonic infection that threatened
her life. Sea diff is no joke. I had a
(12:19):
family member who suffered from sea diff. It is very,
very very hard to get rid of, very contagious. When
I would go visit this person, I had to like
gown up, We're told. The rapidly escalating events forced Cameron
Esposito to meditate on her own mortality, which convinced her
to have a child with her wife, Katie. Cameron said,
(12:40):
I made peace with the whole rest of my life.
It changed my perspective and what kind of spouse I
want to be and what kind of child I want
to be. But it also opened the door to wondering
about what's next and if I'll have a chance to
leave a legacy. Cameron said. When I was a young comic,
especially as a queer comic, my biggest goal was for
people to say that they could be cool and confident
on stage. Now I want people to know that while
my story might be different, I feel the same stuff.
(13:00):
You stick around long enough and sometimes things come full circle.
If you can't make it to the re odd Comedy Festival.
Hit the Birmingham Comedy Festival now and it's twenty fourth year.
Five comics will be competing for the Birmingham Comedy Festival
Breaking Talent Award twenty twenty five. Organizers said twelve thousand
folks attended last year and it is the UK's second
(13:21):
longest running comedy and arts festival. Joe Lycett might be
a name that Americans know and that's your comedy news
for today. The weekend will be quite robust again if
you're a new listener. Columbus Day Weekend. Johnny Max taking
is foot off the gas, I'd tape some stuff. What's
some stories that I couldn't get to, Like, for example,
I'm once again today I have in my script it's
as Vulture Letterman, and like a couple of paragraphs I
(13:43):
cannot get to it. So like that's the kind of
stuff that when I pretape a weekend, that's the kind
of stuff that I'll do. So I'm not saying like
they're garbage episodes, but they're not as timely. Whereas this
weekend I want to react to Saturday Night Live and
whatever the ck thing is. Tomorrow I want to talk
about ow there's a whole Jimmy Fallon thing we haven't
gotten to. We didn't talk about Adam Sandler going on Letterman.
So again, they're real episodes this weekend and that you're
(14:07):
coming to news for today see tomorrow
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

You know, mixed in here are some lesser known people.
But you know, Mark's not some crazy outsider. He's this
more insider than I think he realizes. Comedy stock Markets,
(09:52):
none of you figured out who the voice is on
Comedy stock Market I'll tell you next week. I'll give
you a hint. Mustache and trans am. Do you have
a now go back and listen hit thirty second, rewind,
go back and listen. I'll talk about that next week.
All right. On the Comedy stock Market if you're a
new listener, Every Friday we make some picks, We bet
on people, and we sell on some people. This week's
(10:12):
buys David Cross. I salute you for your piece on
your website pulling out the performers of the Riod Comedy Festival.
Nice job. Let's buy some David Cross at stock in support.
Let's also buy some Otsco at Costco for that same reason.
She's the one who had the courage to share the contract.
Who are you gonna sell? This week? We are selling
Pete Davidson. His father killed the nine to eleven Pete
(10:32):
Davidson tonight at the Riodd Comedy Festival. Hey, bro, if
you're okay with it, I guess I'm okay with it.
But I'm selling my Pete Davidson stock. I want no
part of it. Sorry. And let's also short sell some stock.
We're gonna take some bets here that some other stocks
are going to go down let's short sell Saturday Night Live.
I think SNL fifty one is gonna be a bust
and specific to this weekend. I don't think they're up
(10:55):
to the task. Bad Bunny as your host that somewhat
steers what the sketches are gonna be, so you're gonna
get like a lot of more solo Hernandez doing that
one thing more solo Hernandez does. He does it very well,
but he does one thing, so you're gonna get that.
I don't know how many sketches realistically you can put
bad Bunny in. There's a certain moment in the universe
right now. I don't know if SNL's up to the task.
(11:17):
Happy to be wrong, but I'm gonna short sell some
SNL stock and make some quick profit when everybody else
panic sells next week. And I'm also gonna short sell
Louis Ck ahead of this Bill maher thing after hearing
some recent Louis Ck statements. I'm just not in the
mood for the way Ck is spinning this. This is
kind of going back to oh no, I'm the victim
(11:38):
here and again Ck at the Riog Comedy Festival, combined
with this Oh yeah, so sorry, women. But look what
happened to me. I'm not buying it. So let's buy
David Cross, Let's buy Otsco. Let's sell Pete Davidson, Let's
short sell SNL and let's short sell Louis Ck. That
is your comedy stock market. This weekend at Chicago, Cameron Esposito,
she is very funny. She's taking on the theater in
(11:59):
the re at Steppenwolf's Ensemble Theater. It's the debut of
her new one person show Feet. A year ago, Cameron
underwent a minor medical procedure for a foot injury, but
after extended antibiotic dosing to treat possible infection, she contracted
sea diff, which is a secondary colonic infection that threatened
her life. Sea diff is no joke. I had a
(12:19):
family member who suffered from sea diff. It is very,
very very hard to get rid of, very contagious. When
I would go visit this person, I had to like
gown up, We're told. The rapidly escalating events forced Cameron
Esposito to meditate on her own mortality, which convinced her
to have a child with her wife, Katie. Cameron said,
(12:40):
I made peace with the whole rest of my life.
It changed my perspective and what kind of spouse I
want to be and what kind of child I want
to be. But it also opened the door to wondering
about what's next and if I'll have a chance to
leave a legacy. Cameron said. When I was a young comic,
especially as a queer comic, my biggest goal was for
people to say that they could be cool and confident
on stage. Now I want people to know that while
my story might be different, I feel the same stuff.
(13:00):
You stick around long enough and sometimes things come full circle.
If you can't make it to the re odd Comedy Festival.
Hit the Birmingham Comedy Festival now and it's twenty fourth year.
Five comics will be competing for the Birmingham Comedy Festival
Breaking Talent Award twenty twenty five. Organizers said twelve thousand
folks attended last year and it is the UK's second
(13:21):
longest running comedy and arts festival. Joe Lycett might be
a name that Americans know and that's your comedy news
for today. The weekend will be quite robust again if
you're a new listener. Columbus Day Weekend. Johnny Max taking
is foot off the gas, I'd tape some stuff. What's
some stories that I couldn't get to, Like, for example,
I'm once again today I have in my script it's
as Vulture Letterman, and like a couple of paragraphs I
(13:43):
cannot get to it. So like that's the kind of
stuff that when I pretape a weekend, that's the kind
of stuff that I'll do. So I'm not saying like
they're garbage episodes, but they're not as timely. Whereas this
weekend I want to react to Saturday Night Live and
whatever the ck thing is. Tomorrow I want to talk
about ow there's a whole Jimmy Fallon thing we haven't
gotten to. We didn't talk about Adam Sandler going on Letterman.
So again, they're real episodes this weekend and that you're
(14:07):
coming to news for today see tomorrow
