Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mackwick, your daily comedy news.
After three years in Las Vegas, skank Fest moving to
New Orleans. There will be more than one hundred and
fifty comedians performing on four stages, plus podcast tapings, a
tattoo studio, fights in a custom built boxing ring, and more,
(00:26):
all inside Marty Gras World Today through the weekend. The
event was created in New York a decade ago by
the Legion of Skanks podcast Louis Gomez, Big Jay Okerson,
and Dave Smith. This year's lineup include Shane Gillis, Doug Stanhope,
Rosebud Baker, Sam Tallent, Mark Norman, Sean Patten, and many more.
I will tell you right right there, that's a better
lineup than the New York Comedy Festival. Co founder and
(00:48):
organizer Rebecca Trent explains when they were in Vegas, it
was harder to do the boxing events because boxing is
controlled as a sanctioned sport. But in New Orleans, apparently
whatever you want to do there will be comedian jiu
ju to pillow fights, but slapping fights and more. It
is called Skangfest, So don't be like what that's outratous.
It's called s Gangfest. There are scheduled boxing bouts between
(01:10):
affiliated companies, interns, and a battle Royale on Sunday. Trent explains,
there's gonna be stun guns involved, and we have all
these crazy, silly fights. Now, it's kind of an interesting setup.
The stage will be active from noon until two am
every day, but they don't announce the lineup until like
I don't know, like day of so I can't even
(01:31):
tell you like, oh, go at eight o'clock and go
see somebody, because there's no schedule. Now, listen to this lineup.
I am going to read you a million names here
because again, uh, New York Comedy Festival. I'm not feeling
it this year. But listen to what Skangfest is put together. Okay,
I won't read every name, but i'll read you names
you would know. Aeron Berg, Adrian Appalucci, harryel Elias Big,
Jay Okerson, Bonnie McFarlane, Brad Williams, Brian Redman, Dan Soder,
(01:57):
Dan Saint Germain, Dave Attel, I said Dave, and then
I said Attel. Right there, it's better than the New
York Comedy Festival. Doug Stanhope Eddie Peppatone, Eric Griffin, Felippia Sparza, Godfrey,
Greg Fitzimmons, Harlan Williams, Ian Finance, Jeff Die, Jimmy Door,
Joe List, Josh Adam Myers, Kurt Metzger, Louis Gomez, Mark Normant,
(02:21):
Matt McCusker, Michael ian Black, Nick Vaderat, Rachel Feinstein, Rich Voz,
Bobby Kelly Rose, Bud Baker, Sam Jay, Sam Talent, Sam Tripoli,
Sean Donnelly, Sewn Patton, Shane Gillis, Steve Ranazizi, Tim Dillon,
Tony Hingecliff and Yaminika Saunders. I mean that is no joke.
(02:43):
That lineup. This is really good. They have some FAQs
in case you're curious. Shows run from eleven a m.
Till this is midnight every day. Maybe it's not till
two am with overlapping sets, secret shows and late night Manness.
No reservations. Skang FESTUS general admission. There will be twelve
live stream shows available through their new live streaming partner VEEPS.
(03:04):
There's a vendor village, a hub for food, drinks, tattoos,
birch and partner activations. Expect everything from custom voodoo dolls
to late night goodies. Pretty impressive. A friend of the show,
Scott Beckett, He's good at sending me stories, but not
so good at football picks. I mean, he's okay, but
he's not Johnny Mick. He sent me this one about
Nicki Glazer. I think, is this the one you sent me, Scott?
(03:26):
I don't know. It was like two weeks ago. I
know he sent me something about Nicki Glazer. It's a
lot going on here in the basement, trust me. Anyway.
Niki Glazer was talking about the Amazon Alexa Plus. Nicki said,
Alexa Plus basically knows me better than I know myself,
and she has really stepped her game up. And you'll
see in the commercial. She even reminds me when I
have therapy. Do you think my therapist knows how many
(03:47):
protein bars eight per week? She probably should because it's
bordering on an addiction, But Alexa Plus reminds me when
they're running low, so she's aware of my problem and
she'd better not tell Donna. Well, Nicki Glazer, has your
Alexa ever made you laugh? Now? The interviewer messed up here.
They didn't play ball. They just said Alexa they're supposed
to say, Alexa Plus, pay attention, Nicki's hawking a product here.
(04:07):
You gotta get this right, Nicki said, Alexa Plus honestly
makes me laugh all the time. I don't stop talking
when I get off stage, so it's nice to have
someone listen. When I'm alone in a hotel at a
casino in the middle of Iowa. One of my favorite
things to do is to ask her to be sassy
that way if I'm missing my family on the road.
That's as close as she can come to nailing the
tone of my sister. All Right, Nicki Glazer, what's the weirdest,
(04:28):
most unexpected question you've ever asked? If you were Alexa Plus,
come on, interviewer, you're supposed to say plus, Nicki said, Okay,
I'm being honest. I just looked it up. What does
it mean when you dream that you crushed a snake's
head with your bare hands and you feel its skull
crushing and blood comes out of its ears. Alexa Plus
told me that this dream could mean I'm trying to
overcome a fear. Vulture caught up with Stavros Hawkysts, who
(04:49):
once said that he couldn't be forty and still hosting
his previous podcast, you know, the one with the vulgar name.
The second word was town. Stavros said, I'm not going
to sit here and tell you when we started the show,
we had some grand theory to be like, oh, oh,
we're going to get back at these people who were
trying to get people fired for old tweets. Now we
were in our mid twenties, broke. We didn't like those people,
and we were mean spirited comedians about a bad life.
I thought that was going to be ten episodes of
the show. I didn't care if we were offensive. I
(05:10):
had nothing to lose. Then, once the show started making
me money, I bought my family a house. I would
have done actually awful stuff at thirty grand I would
have done a minor crime for that. But I do
think when you see where we were at the time,
it was when Trump was first coming up. We weren't
fans of that. We did have left politics, but we
never really made that a focal point because I don't
think that's what comedians should do. But I do think
it's a natural thing. You get these people who don't
like what's going on culturally. You would train in open
(05:32):
mics for a decade. You also have a chip on
your shoulders. You put all that in a blunder, you
naturally get this knee jerk rebellion, which I think is important.
Young people should be able to make fed up jokes
and have it not ruined their lives and be cast
out for a specific thing forever. Shane gillis being the
obvious example, but it's a young person's game. It's kind
of being like, if you dad, you could argue twenty
eight was too late. We were just emotionally and mentally
stunted guys. Even if people our age keep doing that
(05:54):
style of comedy, it should exist, but it also changes
with the times. Honestly, I think for some twenty year
old the equivalent would be me making Charlie Kirk jokes
at this point, as it's what the dominant culture says
you're not allowed to do. Instead of making fun of
people who want to get you canceled, it would be
making fun of this weird culture where people are taking
their cues from the president, which is pathetic. That would
be transgressive in the way that ironic racism. Making fun
of I'm with Her. During Hillary's campaign was the South
(06:18):
Park creators talked to The New York Times about their
decision to do a lot of Trump stuff. Trey Parker said,
it's not that we got all political. It's that politics
became pop culture. I feel you hosting this podcast every day.
I get it. Trey said, it's like the government is
just in your face everywhere you look, whether it's the
actual government or whether it's all the podcasters and the
tiktoks and the youtubes and all that, and it's all
political and political. Because it's more than political, it's pop culture.
(06:41):
Matt Stone said the show always sought out new taboos.
Trey and I are like attracted to that, like flies
to honey. Oh that's where the taboo is over there, Okay,
then we're over there. Barker said, we're just very down
the middle guys. Any extremists of any kind we make
fun of. We did it for years with woke thing
that was hilarious to us, and this is hilarious to us.
A spoke person for the White House said this show
(07:02):
hasn't been relevant for over twenty years and is hanging
on by a thread with uninspired ideas. In a desperate
attempt for attention, President Trump has delivered on more promises
in just six months than any other president in our
country's history, and no fourth rate show can derail President
Trump's hot streak. South Park's twenty eighth season continues until
December tenth. Cracked dot com reporting that Polly Shore has
(07:24):
gotten himself banned from Kill Tony What do you do
to get banned from Kill Tony Well? According to various accounts,
Pauli Shore was so irritating that the Kill Tony Gang
has banned him. Paully Shore posted a video saying I
thought it was good, but I don't know if you
guys saw the episode. Tony Hinchcliff basically said I'm going
to kick your butt if you don't stop effing around.
Paully Krack says, Sure definitely was effing around. They encourage
(07:48):
you to check out the twenty one minute thirty second
mark where Tony asked Paully Shore for a stack of
note cards full of jokes. Sure offers up one of
the cards, then another, and then doesn't hand over the pile.
Tony said, it's not how it works, Paully. I you're
playing on doing this for the next two hours. You
could shove that wig in your mouth, buddy, Paullie says
he was just trying to be funny, but after the show,
he took me aside. All his security guards took me
(08:08):
aside and they asked me to never come back now.
Polly says Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership is off limits to
him on Mondays when Kill Tony tapes, but on the
other nights, Pauli Shore says he's allowed to play little
Boy the club's smaller room. Here's why. The only reason
I'm allowed to play the baby room is because it's
literally above bar Mitzi's at the Mothership. Mitzi's Bar is
(08:31):
named after Paulie Shore's mother, Mitzi Shore, who ran the
comedy store in LA for decades. Oh that's all kinds
of awkward, Pauli Shore continued, Kill Tony, if you're out there,
I love you. When I understand, I wouldn't put me
back on the show either, I affed up your whole rhythm.
It's the number one podcast in the world. You don't
want me on there. Comedy stock Markets, thank you, Bert Reynolds,
(09:01):
and it is Comedy stock Market. So if you're new
to this, here's what we do. We try and make
hypothetical money where we buy low on people whose proferbial
stock is a little low, and we sell high on
people who are at peak value. It is not a
judgment whether or not someone who's good or bad. We're
just looking for value. Here's my recommendation on a buy
this week. Let's buy Pete Holmes because I think Pete's
(09:23):
been a little under the radar and people forget how
good Pete Holmes is on stage. And I'll talk about
Pete Holmes in a minute. Let's hold on Nicki Glazer.
I could recommend this either way. Should we buy some
Nicky Glazer coming off SNL and the Golden Globes is coming,
or should we sell Nicki Glazier because you know that
monologue wasn't all that great and maybe she's a good
(09:45):
roast comedian and the more we expose Niki, the less
heat they'll be on Nicki. Is that a possibility? I'm
not sure. And you're walking away in on that in
the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group. So we'll
hold our Niki Glazer. We'll see how that goes. I
think we I've already sold our Pete Davidson. Can we
sell even more Pete Davison Pete's appearances. He's not helping himself.
(10:07):
None of these projects are happening. THERI odd thing didn't help.
Making a joke about your father dying doesn't help. None
of this is a good look. So if we have
any Pete Davidson left, let's sell it. Let's sell our
James Austin Johnson stock. I'm very SNL heavy this week
on the Seals. I just think that Trump impression is
spiraling down. He needs to reset it. He's basically doing
(10:29):
an impression of himself doing Trump. It's gone now. He
needs to start over. So we'll sell. Let's sell Cam
Patterson stock. If you had any, I don't get it.
I don't know why Lorne Michael's put him on the show.
We're four or five episodes in and I don't think
Cam's done anything other than a line here and there.
He's not good at it. Sell Cam Patterson, Let's buy
(10:49):
some Keenan Thompson. If you watch SNL every week, he's
the glue. He is holding that show together this season.
I mean, Bowen Yang is a star, Sarah Sherman is
a star, but it's Keenan Thompson who's just reliable in
sketches and you can always throw him out there and
he's going to deliver. So let's buy some Keenan Thompson
all right? At the New York Comedy Festival tonight, Pete Holmes,
(11:10):
go see Beat Holmes the next chance you get. Perhaps
tonight at town Hall. He is fantastic. Now the New
York Comedy Festival, you've heard me and go on and
on about how the lineup is unimpressive. We do have
some names. Tonight boy Todd Glass again, is there like
some crazy demand for Todd Glass that he's playing every
night of the New York Comedy Festival? Like, what is
that about? I'm doing this podcast for years and years
(11:32):
and worked at Serious for a decade before that. His
name never comes up, and he's every night at the
New York Comedy Festival. What's going on seven thirty at
the Beacon Theater back from the ri Odd Comedy Festival.
It's the not so canceled Louis ck. I don't think
Louis c. K is as welcome back as some articles
would make you believe. Does he have his audience? Can
he make money? Can he sell out Madison Square Garden? Yes?
(11:55):
But I don't think the mainstreams ever Letting Louis back in,
although the New York Comedy festal Well has them back
in and he's at the Beacon Theater tonight. Ck far
and away the biggest name at the festival period. I
was going to say tonight, but period a second show
by Todd Glast nine o'clock. I don't know what's going
on there. It's just so strange. I'm just scrolling down here.
J McBride. I like j McBride a lot, right. Jane
(12:17):
McBride's at the Tiny Cupboard at ten fifteen and comics
to watch at a minute before midnight at the Venue
on Music Row at the hard Rock. But yeah, not
a lot of big names again. Our friends at the
Flyover Comedy Festival at Saint Louis, they have mastered scheduled technology.
Clicking on it here is a nice big grid makes
it very easy for podcast hosts to get a feel
(12:39):
for what's going on. So Beth Stelling's got two shows
at the Java at seven and nine the Sclar Brothers,
or at Tropical Liqueurs they're doing tag It with the
Scollar Brothers that's at nine o'clock, and a bunch of
other shows at the Flyover Comedy Festival. Greg Proops has
an album out out today. Can we give him the
Grammy Award? This one is called Free State of California Today.
(13:00):
On a special Things Records recorded live at the Punchline
in San Francisco last New Year's Eve, Proops railed on
the state of everything, dressed up in his subservic wit, proopism, sarcasm,
and masterful wordplay. Greg will record another live album at
the Punchline at San Francisco this New Year's Eve. Also
on December thirtieth two shows anybody Else's Voice Giving out
(13:21):
on a day when you need to record a bunch
I am. The Toronto Guardian has a good recurring column
where they talk about comedians who maybe you don't know
as well. One of them is Sachim Sharma. He was
asked how he describes his comedy and said, after quick google,
I've learned I'm an absurdist, satirical, clowning, evangelical, but then
says I made that when up seeking revenge via comedy.
Who are your influences? Explains I grew up in India.
(13:43):
As Indians, we're huge fans of clowning. In general. We
have at least one clown per household. Indian wedding functions
are a great clowning exhibition. I consider myself so lucky
to have a great circle of friends, family and cousins.
We love getting in trouble and keep heightening the states
on purpose. Who's your favorite comedian now? I love Melissa McCarthy.
I hated Sasha Baron Cohen when I watched him and
bore out at first, but now I endure him and
(14:04):
like everything he did and is doing. I also really
like Michael Keegan Key, which is not the guy's name.
The guy's name is Keegan Michael Key. Maybe there's a
different guy who's Michael Keegan Key who's also funny. I
don't know, maybe I'm wrong. What's your pre show ritual?
Charma says, Usually I get nervous, and my pre show
ritual is just to be aware of being in that condition.
(14:24):
Sometimes I try to do the opposite of what a
scared mammal would do. I make contense eye contact with
co performers, be purposely vulnerable, expose my weak spots, and
that it's your comedy news for today. If you enjoy
the program, please tell a friend about it. The number
has been really good. Thank you Jimmy Kimmel and Ri Odd,
Comedy Festival and the Fascists, everybody that's all been good
(14:44):
for the show. I'll see tomorrow
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mackwick, your daily comedy news.

Paully Krack says, Sure definitely was effing around. They encourage
(07:48):
you to check out the twenty one minute thirty second
mark where Tony asked Paully Shore for a stack of
note cards full of jokes. Sure offers up one of
the cards, then another, and then doesn't hand over the pile.
Tony said, it's not how it works, Paully. I you're
playing on doing this for the next two hours. You
could shove that wig in your mouth, buddy, Paullie says
he was just trying to be funny, but after the show,
he took me aside. All his security guards took me
(08:08):
aside and they asked me to never come back now.
Polly says Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership is off limits to
him on Mondays when Kill Tony tapes, but on the
other nights, Pauli Shore says he's allowed to play little
Boy the club's smaller room. Here's why. The only reason
I'm allowed to play the baby room is because it's
literally above bar Mitzi's at the Mothership. Mitzi's Bar is
(08:31):
named after Paulie Shore's mother, Mitzi Shore, who ran the
comedy store in LA for decades. Oh that's all kinds
of awkward, Pauli Shore continued, Kill Tony, if you're out there,
I love you. When I understand, I wouldn't put me
back on the show either, I affed up your whole rhythm.
It's the number one podcast in the world. You don't
want me on there. Comedy stock Markets, thank you, Bert Reynolds,
(09:01):
and it is Comedy stock Market. So if you're new
to this, here's what we do. We try and make
hypothetical money where we buy low on people whose proferbial
stock is a little low, and we sell high on
people who are at peak value. It is not a
judgment whether or not someone who's good or bad. We're
just looking for value. Here's my recommendation on a buy
this week. Let's buy Pete Holmes because I think Pete's
(09:23):
been a little under the radar and people forget how
good Pete Holmes is on stage. And I'll talk about
Pete Holmes in a minute. Let's hold on Nicki Glazer.
I could recommend this either way. Should we buy some
Nicky Glazer coming off SNL and the Golden Globes is coming,
or should we sell Nicki Glazier because you know that
monologue wasn't all that great and maybe she's a good
(09:45):
roast comedian and the more we expose Niki, the less
heat they'll be on Nicki. Is that a possibility? I'm
not sure. And you're walking away in on that in
the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group. So we'll
hold our Niki Glazer. We'll see how that goes. I
think we I've already sold our Pete Davidson. Can we
sell even more Pete Davison Pete's appearances. He's not helping himself.
(10:07):
None of these projects are happening. THERI odd thing didn't help.
Making a joke about your father dying doesn't help. None
of this is a good look. So if we have
any Pete Davidson left, let's sell it. Let's sell our
James Austin Johnson stock. I'm very SNL heavy this week
on the Seals. I just think that Trump impression is
spiraling down. He needs to reset it. He's basically doing
(10:29):
an impression of himself doing Trump. It's gone now. He
needs to start over. So we'll sell. Let's sell Cam
Patterson stock. If you had any, I don't get it.
I don't know why Lorne Michael's put him on the show.
We're four or five episodes in and I don't think
Cam's done anything other than a line here and there.
He's not good at it. Sell Cam Patterson, Let's buy
(10:49):
some Keenan Thompson. If you watch SNL every week, he's
the glue. He is holding that show together this season.
I mean, Bowen Yang is a star, Sarah Sherman is
a star, but it's Keenan Thompson who's just reliable in
sketches and you can always throw him out there and
he's going to deliver. So let's buy some Keenan Thompson
all right? At the New York Comedy Festival tonight, Pete Holmes,
(11:10):
go see Beat Holmes the next chance you get. Perhaps
tonight at town Hall. He is fantastic. Now the New
York Comedy Festival, you've heard me and go on and
on about how the lineup is unimpressive. We do have
some names. Tonight boy Todd Glass again, is there like
some crazy demand for Todd Glass that he's playing every
night of the New York Comedy Festival? Like, what is
that about? I'm doing this podcast for years and years
(11:32):
and worked at Serious for a decade before that. His
name never comes up, and he's every night at the
New York Comedy Festival. What's going on seven thirty at
the Beacon Theater back from the ri Odd Comedy Festival.
It's the not so canceled Louis ck. I don't think
Louis c. K is as welcome back as some articles
would make you believe. Does he have his audience? Can
he make money? Can he sell out Madison Square Garden? Yes?
(11:55):
But I don't think the mainstreams ever Letting Louis back in,
although the New York Comedy festal Well has them back
in and he's at the Beacon Theater tonight. Ck far
and away the biggest name at the festival period. I
was going to say tonight, but period a second show
by Todd Glast nine o'clock. I don't know what's going
on there. It's just so strange. I'm just scrolling down here.
J McBride. I like j McBride a lot, right. Jane
(12:17):
McBride's at the Tiny Cupboard at ten fifteen and comics
to watch at a minute before midnight at the Venue
on Music Row at the hard Rock. But yeah, not
a lot of big names again. Our friends at the
Flyover Comedy Festival at Saint Louis, they have mastered scheduled technology.
Clicking on it here is a nice big grid makes
it very easy for podcast hosts to get a feel
(12:39):
for what's going on. So Beth Stelling's got two shows
at the Java at seven and nine the Sclar Brothers,
or at Tropical Liqueurs they're doing tag It with the
Scollar Brothers that's at nine o'clock, and a bunch of
other shows at the Flyover Comedy Festival. Greg Proops has
an album out out today. Can we give him the
Grammy Award? This one is called Free State of California Today.
(13:00):
On a special Things Records recorded live at the Punchline
in San Francisco last New Year's Eve, Proops railed on
the state of everything, dressed up in his subservic wit, proopism, sarcasm,
and masterful wordplay. Greg will record another live album at
the Punchline at San Francisco this New Year's Eve. Also
on December thirtieth two shows anybody Else's Voice Giving out
(13:21):
on a day when you need to record a bunch
I am. The Toronto Guardian has a good recurring column
where they talk about comedians who maybe you don't know
as well. One of them is Sachim Sharma. He was
asked how he describes his comedy and said, after quick google,
I've learned I'm an absurdist, satirical, clowning, evangelical, but then
says I made that when up seeking revenge via comedy.
Who are your influences? Explains I grew up in India.
(13:43):
As Indians, we're huge fans of clowning. In general. We
have at least one clown per household. Indian wedding functions
are a great clowning exhibition. I consider myself so lucky
to have a great circle of friends, family and cousins.
We love getting in trouble and keep heightening the states
on purpose. Who's your favorite comedian now? I love Melissa McCarthy.
I hated Sasha Baron Cohen when I watched him and
bore out at first, but now I endure him and
(14:04):
like everything he did and is doing. I also really
like Michael Keegan Key, which is not the guy's name.
The guy's name is Keegan Michael Key. Maybe there's a
different guy who's Michael Keegan Key who's also funny. I
don't know, maybe I'm wrong. What's your pre show ritual?
Charma says, Usually I get nervous, and my pre show
ritual is just to be aware of being in that condition.
(14:24):
Sometimes I try to do the opposite of what a
scared mammal would do. I make contense eye contact with
co performers, be purposely vulnerable, expose my weak spots, and
that it's your comedy news for today. If you enjoy
the program, please tell a friend about it. The number
has been really good. Thank you Jimmy Kimmel and Ri Odd,
Comedy Festival and the Fascists, everybody that's all been good
(14:44):
for the show. I'll see tomorrow
