Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily comedy news. You know, last week in the real
world there was a lot of like real news. There
were the airplane delays I suffered from that. There was
the government shut down which I've misspelled in my notes
using an eye think about it. That came to an end.
(00:24):
And of course the Epstein files. So Newsweek they cover
the news, they were all over it. They had the
big story, which was, of course Joe Rogan word pronunciation.
Great son fans, Yeah, everybody who's talking about this. Last week,
it seems Joe Rogan on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience,
was discussing ethanol. The guest was Jeff Dye. They started
(00:45):
talking about alternative fuels. The subject turned to ethanol, which
Joe Rogan pronounced ethanol. WHOA Joe relaxed with that pronunciation.
Bro Newsweek tells us the segment quickly drew attention, spawning
a series of view comments expressing amusement, confusion, sometimes frustration
at his word choice. Oh yeah, Newsweek wrote an entire
(01:07):
article about this because Joe Rogan mispronounced ethanol as ethanol,
which maybe it's me is not crazy. Here are some
of the comments that Newsweek published. One every time Rogan
says ethanol instead of ethanol, I recoil in crunch w
TWF bruh. Another really important comment that made Newsweek said
the way Joe says ethanol's bothering me so much for
(01:28):
some reason. Lol. Another very important comment Joe saying ethanol
has me messed up. Another person even included a time
stamp at two hours, nine minutes, twenty seven seconds. Jets wrote,
ethanol is like bethanol without the B, not ethanol. Amy
Schumer likes when we talk about her, so we will.
She made a change to her social media presence last week.
(01:51):
People are claiming conspiracy. On Instagram. Amy Schumer had a
new post and she captioned it, deleted my old picks
for no reason. Amy Schumer deleted every previous photo and
added the one new post showing off her new weight
loss look. Amy wrote, I actually left my house tonight.
Who's proud. I'm feeling good and happy. Deleted my old
(02:12):
picks for no reason. Hours before that announcement, she posted
a picture of her very first Instagram post to her
instant stories, captioning that my first ever insta post. I'm
gonna race them all because why not. Some people are
wondering perhaps there are some things in her past that
she doesn't want us to stumble across scrolling through her
Instagram or not. Who knows. Others are like no Amy,
(02:32):
a loss of weight and feels like she's looking real
good and just wants to live in the now. I
don't know. The Wall Street Journal spoke with Louis c K.
He's out hawking his new novel. The journal said, in
the acknowledgements, you think THEO Vaughn and Chris Rock? How
did they help? C K said, I gave it to
a bunch of my friends. Those are like the two
that read it. I think THEO is a modern day
(02:53):
Mark Twain. Tap the brakes on that? I mean? Should
I do half an hour? On that comment? Ce K said,
I fiel Van, He's an incredible storyteller, and meeting him
before I wrote this is not a coincidence. The journal
was curious what were Chris Rock's notes. See K told
the journal, Chris said, you wrote an ef fing novel?
Do we have to write novels now? The version he
read was longer and had more weird stuff. About place
(03:14):
and time. I was timid about that, but he said,
you need some weird Louis Crapp in there. That was
his thing, but he loved it. C K also in
the acknowledgments, mentions fiver, you know the freelance service you
pay somebody five bucks to like design a website logo?
You know that place. The journal was curious, did you
pay strangers to read the book? See K said yeah,
they didn't know who I was. I just made a
user name. The first draft I sent out, I got
(03:35):
a lot of this is garbage. One woman said, this
is just a wall of words. She was really tough.
I had to breathe, like, well, that's not easy to read,
but really good. Shane Gillis told the story about meeting
NFL star Micah Parsons. Shane was on Monday Night Football
last week. Now, I didn't see Monday Night Football last
week for several reasons. One the YouTube TV versus Disney dispute.
(03:57):
Even if I wanted to watch Monday Night Football, couldn't
because on that particular night, YouTube TV was not showing
ABC nor ESPN. So I hopped on my boat and
went out to international waters. As you know, sometimes you
have to do and I still couldn't come up with it.
And at that point I was like, eh, I already
wrapped up the football pol And I went on with
my life and I watched the YouTube. So that's one
reason I didn't watch a game. The other reason I
(04:18):
didn't watch the game is I, of course don't support fascism.
Remember the fascist they kicked off Jimmy Kimmel's show. Jimmy
was off the air for like six hours one time,
and we all lost our minds and canceled Disney Plus.
That's right. So I was even talking to one of
the trivia guys about this. He's with me, we don't
do that. He's like me. He goes all the way upstairs,
goes to the DVD closet, finds the Scrubs DVD, walks
(04:38):
all the way back down two flights of stairs, puts
the DVD in the PlayStation five, and watches Scrubs on DVD.
You think the trivia guy is just gonna hit the
Hulu button on his Roku. No, he doesn't support fascism.
By the way, my team won trivia, but we'll talk
about that. On Wednesday, Jane Gillis was on Monday Night
Football last week? What's the game tonight? Raiders Cowboys? That's
skippable Anywayane is there on the Manning Cast. Peyton Manning
(05:02):
brings up the time Shane Gillis met Michael Parkins during
a party at Saquon Barkley's house, and name dropper Peyton
Manning said, Shane, I heard a story that you met
Michael Parsons at a Super Bowl party. Boy, Peyton, you
really really prep for the show there, huh. In case
you're not totally hip to show business, a producer probably
talked to either Shane or someone in his camp and said, hey,
what can you talk about? And Shane or someone in
(05:23):
his camp went, oh, Shane's got a Michael Parson's story,
and then they wrote that on the piece of paper.
And then Peyton's like, Shane, I heard a story that
you met Michah Parsons at a super Bowl party. Not
for nothing. I understand. Peyton Manning is an NFL quarterback
who's been doing the Manning Cast for what four years
now five or something like that. I understand that he's
not Johnny Carson, but you have been doing this for
(05:43):
a minute. You gotta be better than Shane, I heard
a story that that's just like, you're not even trying.
I'd aggress again, Shane. I heard a story that you
met Michael Parsons at a Super Bowl party. Did y'all
hit it off? For y'all, buddies, what's the deal? Eagles
fan Shane Gillis did attend Barkley super Bowl party when
Barkley was with the Giants. Michael Parsons was at the party,
and since Shane Gillis and Parsons are both from the
(06:05):
same area of Philly, Shane approached him. Shane explained, look,
he did nothing wrong. Was completely normal reaction from him.
We were at a super Bowl party. I'm in Eagles gear,
so I look like a fan. Everyone else that's there
was like, cool, it's at Saquan's house. He was still
with the Giants. I'm there wearing all Eagles gear. I'm
walking around. I'm one of the three white guys in
the room and I walk up to Michaeh. Parsons and
I was like, Mike, guy, I went to Trinity High
School in Camp Pale, Pennsylvania. I hear you're from Harrisburg.
(06:27):
He was like, who's this guy? Also, I'm like fifteen
years older than him. So he was like, dude, you
should leave, And I did leave immediately. As soon as
he said, Oh, what's up, I was like, it's time
to go. Josh Johnson got a very very nice, thorough
article in Billboard. Josh was on Zoom for the interview
and said, I feel very bad about how this call
is lit. I did my best, but I'm in a
hotel room in Jacksonville, and there are only so many
(06:47):
lights to work with. There's some shadow being cast. It's
not wholly flattering, So you've caught me. Bill Board was
impressed by Josh Johnson's statistics his first night anchoring the
Daily Show in July. Through five hundred and ninety thousand
total viewers in the eighteen to forty nines, which I've
graduated from. I'm in eighteen of forty nine alumni. There
were two hundred and twenty six eighteen to forty ninths
(07:09):
more than John Stewart's top rated episodes, And now that
is all kinds of interesting. Then Stewart took the record
back when Stewart hosted on a Thursday after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
That night, John Stewart got four hundred and forty three
thousand viewers in the eighteen to forty nine So you know,
I'm looking at Josh Johnson's skyrock gating career. I kind
(07:30):
of want to stop off at could he be the
permanent host of the Daily Show? But I don't even
think they could hold on him. I think he's going
to just skip right over that step. Josh said, I've
been having a lot of fun. Everybody's been super supportive.
It's been really special. I have a whole lot to learn,
so I'm excited at every opportunity I get. Everyone with
the role's been in it long enough to feel really
comfortable with it and inspired by John Stewart. For the
most part, whatever I'm hosting, I look at it as
(07:51):
an opportunity to learn more about what everyone else is doing.
When I started as a writer, I was so focused
on writing and Ziland voice and the writer's wing in
general that sometimes I didn't understand how a piece I
had written affected props or costume. For example, say that's smart. Now,
being on the correspondent slash hosting side, I see what
it takes to make something happen. From that perspective, understanding
how everything comes together. It makes me feel like a
better writer because now I'm speaking more of a shared language.
(08:14):
The show's a great culture for that. Everybody can learn
from everybody else, even if it's not their department. All right,
when you're host, do you write your own material? He says.
It's a group effort from cron dot com. They wanted
us to know that William Montgomery, you may know William
Montgomery from Kill Tony, bombed during a set at the
Still Standing Comedy Festival at the far Out Lounge in Austin.
Cron dot com reports William Montgomery was supposed to do
(08:37):
a half hour set, but he lasted fifteen minutes. Quotes
after his excruciating, unfunny jokes about celebrity debts and doing
drugs landed in the same way a roach of cat
kills does your lap. They tell us. One of the
jokes had a quote unbelievably racist punchline, which this is
a racism free podcast, so I'm not going to repeat it.
The joke involved a plane crash from two thousand on,
(09:00):
Coron dot Com asked did Montgomery arrive in Austin via
a time machine? There weren't any more recent celebrities, who'se
graeves he could dance on. Montgomery also had a joke
about Paul Walker. You know Paul Walker from the movie
series of The Fast and the Furious. Paul Walker passed
away in twenty thirteen. Check your calendars. Everybody crowd didn't
like it. Montgomery screamed at Austinites, saying that was bs.
(09:22):
That was a good joke. Coron dot com writes, I
think this is an actual joke. I'll read you the
full sentence, so Montgomery screamed. After Austinites failed to find
any humor at all in such well crafted jokes like
Paul Walker more like Paul Crasher. Chron dot com says,
comedy really is dead. I suppose Montgomery tagged that with
I heard the real reason Paul Walker died was because
(09:42):
the director forgot to say cut. I'm sure mister Montgomery
told these much better than I did, but they don't
read as great jokes. Montgomery then said, what do we
have a bunch of whoosy Paul Walker fans in the
crowd tonight? Kron says. Montgomery then shrieks nearly deliriously angry
at the crowd of fans who mistakenly thought they had
paid to see someone funny. That's funnier than the whole set,
(10:05):
You go, cron dot com writer, Oh there is more,
they tell us. Unsurprisingly. Another video shows Montgomery's frustration at
his chili reception as his chili reception descends into full
blown racism and misogyny. At one point, he points in
a man in the crowd and asks if he's of
Pacific Island descent. Then Montgomery flips out at a woman
in the crowd who allegedly flipped him off, calling her
(10:25):
slurs and saying she should be publicly executed. It's not
clear what joke led up to this meltdown, but then
the camera pans to a pack crowd at the four
Out Lounge that is, again very understandably completely stonefaced at
his freak out. At one point in the video, you
can hear an audience memory yell bro throw a tomato.
Someone on Reddit and said, I was there was way
worse than it seemed in this video, really worse than
(10:47):
it seems. Everyone of the crowd was making remarks about
how he just needed to get off the stage. The
craziest part was an audience member was able to walk
on stage and called his performance garbage. A Ready user said,
William is really great in short purse. He hasn't figured
out how to do an hour. Yeah, so kill Tony
comes up all the time. I understand the people that
hate kil Tony. I get it. I can comedy snap
with the best of them. You listen to the podcast,
(11:09):
you hear me do it. Kill Tony is new bees
and amateurs getting up and doing maybe a minute maybe
if Tony lets you go along, it gets seventy five seconds.
That's what it is. This is not an HBO comedy
special in nineteen eighty eight. It's get up and see
if you can last a minute before they play the
bear or whatever it is they do so that William
Montgomery can't scratch from a minute to a half hour.
(11:31):
Not shocking out. Today on the Blonde Medicine YouTube channel,
it's Mike Kaplan's new comedy special. It's called Reenie r
I NI We're told the special is a deeply personal
project created by the duo equal parts of Comedy Special
and Fisis on Love. In the show, performed at Edinburgh Fringe,
Kaplan offers advice to his past dumb self while discussing
(11:51):
his evolving thoughts on traditional marriage, polyamory, quantum physics, psychedelics, music, god,
and more. Mike Caplin said, I'm a better person because
of her. I'm a better comedian because of her. Rob
Schneider was on Fox and Friends. You know this is
gonna go well, right, Yeah. He was discussing the Turning
Point USA event at UC Berkeley and Schneider's conversation with
(12:12):
Robert de Niro about the President of the United States.
Schneider offended free speech. During said Turning Point USA event
at UC Berkeley. Rob Schneider was speaking to students and
recalled a tense but civil exchange with fellow actor Robert
de Niro. Boy, that's an insult to Robert de Niro.
I mean, I guess they're both actors in the same
way that Joe Rogan and I are both podcasters. Even that,
(12:36):
I think there's a bigger spread between Schneider and DeNiro.
Maybe that's like saying both Johnny Carson and I spoken
to a microphone at some point. Maybe that's more apt. Anyway,
Robert de Niro's fellow actor Rob Schneider seriously guys. Schneider's
takeaway was. It showed the power of responding with love
instead of anger. Schneider calls for loving people who are
(12:57):
your enemy. Apparently, there were some protesters outside the event.
Schnider told Fox and Friends. These people preventing people from
talking and preventing people from getting in. These were the
anti fascists. Now again, I'm a peaceful anti fascist who
watches Scrubs DVDs. Do not engage in brawls. That's not
what us anti fascist scrubs watchers are about. We're just
(13:18):
about Jimmy Kimmel should have a show. That's all. We
come in peace. We watched Scrubs DVDs, Schneider said. The
turning point USA students from Berkeley wanting to have peaceful discourse,
peaceful debate, conversations, talk about how much they love God, family, country.
These people were called the fascists. Schneider asked, who are
the real fascists there? And I will ask them, did
you watch Monday night Football? Because I didn't. Schneider goes
(13:40):
on to say fellow actor Robert de Niro confronted Rob
Schneider about Schneider's support of the President of the United States.
Schneider tells the story de Niro turns around and he's like, Schneider,
how could you support that. I'll clean that up your
jerky face. Schnyder said. I looked right at him and
I said, I love you. I swear to God. He
looked right at me and went, okay. It's the only
way to handle is We were never going to be
(14:01):
out canceled to cancel culture. They're better at it than us.
It's got to be through love. When you come from
a place of love and brotherhood, it doesn't advance to
that next ugly place. Good advice from Rob Schneider. That
is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.
Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

a half hour set, but he lasted fifteen minutes. Quotes
after his excruciating, unfunny jokes about celebrity debts and doing
drugs landed in the same way a roach of cat
kills does your lap. They tell us. One of the
jokes had a quote unbelievably racist punchline, which this is
a racism free podcast, so I'm not going to repeat it.
The joke involved a plane crash from two thousand on,
(09:00):
Coron dot Com asked did Montgomery arrive in Austin via
a time machine? There weren't any more recent celebrities, who'se
graeves he could dance on. Montgomery also had a joke
about Paul Walker. You know Paul Walker from the movie
series of The Fast and the Furious. Paul Walker passed
away in twenty thirteen. Check your calendars. Everybody crowd didn't
like it. Montgomery screamed at Austinites, saying that was bs.
(09:22):
That was a good joke. Coron dot com writes, I
think this is an actual joke. I'll read you the
full sentence, so Montgomery screamed. After Austinites failed to find
any humor at all in such well crafted jokes like
Paul Walker more like Paul Crasher. Chron dot com says,
comedy really is dead. I suppose Montgomery tagged that with
I heard the real reason Paul Walker died was because
(09:42):
the director forgot to say cut. I'm sure mister Montgomery
told these much better than I did, but they don't
read as great jokes. Montgomery then said, what do we
have a bunch of whoosy Paul Walker fans in the
crowd tonight? Kron says. Montgomery then shrieks nearly deliriously angry
at the crowd of fans who mistakenly thought they had
paid to see someone funny. That's funnier than the whole set,
(10:05):
You go, cron dot com writer, Oh there is more,
they tell us. Unsurprisingly. Another video shows Montgomery's frustration at
his chili reception as his chili reception descends into full
blown racism and misogyny. At one point, he points in
a man in the crowd and asks if he's of
Pacific Island descent. Then Montgomery flips out at a woman
in the crowd who allegedly flipped him off, calling her
(10:25):
slurs and saying she should be publicly executed. It's not
clear what joke led up to this meltdown, but then
the camera pans to a pack crowd at the four
Out Lounge that is, again very understandably completely stonefaced at
his freak out. At one point in the video, you
can hear an audience memory yell bro throw a tomato.
Someone on Reddit and said, I was there was way
worse than it seemed in this video, really worse than
(10:47):
it seems. Everyone of the crowd was making remarks about
how he just needed to get off the stage. The
craziest part was an audience member was able to walk
on stage and called his performance garbage. A Ready user said,
William is really great in short purse. He hasn't figured
out how to do an hour. Yeah, so kill Tony
comes up all the time. I understand the people that
hate kil Tony. I get it. I can comedy snap
with the best of them. You listen to the podcast,
(11:09):
you hear me do it. Kill Tony is new bees
and amateurs getting up and doing maybe a minute maybe
if Tony lets you go along, it gets seventy five seconds.
That's what it is. This is not an HBO comedy
special in nineteen eighty eight. It's get up and see
if you can last a minute before they play the
bear or whatever it is they do so that William
Montgomery can't scratch from a minute to a half hour.
(11:31):
Not shocking out. Today on the Blonde Medicine YouTube channel,
it's Mike Kaplan's new comedy special. It's called Reenie r
I NI We're told the special is a deeply personal
project created by the duo equal parts of Comedy Special
and Fisis on Love. In the show, performed at Edinburgh Fringe,
Kaplan offers advice to his past dumb self while discussing
(11:51):
his evolving thoughts on traditional marriage, polyamory, quantum physics, psychedelics, music, god,
and more. Mike Caplin said, I'm a better person because
of her. I'm a better comedian because of her. Rob
Schneider was on Fox and Friends. You know this is
gonna go well, right, Yeah. He was discussing the Turning
Point USA event at UC Berkeley and Schneider's conversation with
(12:12):
Robert de Niro about the President of the United States.
Schneider offended free speech. During said Turning Point USA event
at UC Berkeley. Rob Schneider was speaking to students and
recalled a tense but civil exchange with fellow actor Robert
de Niro. Boy, that's an insult to Robert de Niro.
I mean, I guess they're both actors in the same
way that Joe Rogan and I are both podcasters. Even that,
(12:36):
I think there's a bigger spread between Schneider and DeNiro.
Maybe that's like saying both Johnny Carson and I spoken
to a microphone at some point. Maybe that's more apt. Anyway,
Robert de Niro's fellow actor Rob Schneider seriously guys. Schneider's
takeaway was. It showed the power of responding with love
instead of anger. Schneider calls for loving people who are
(12:57):
your enemy. Apparently, there were some protesters outside the event.
Schnider told Fox and Friends. These people preventing people from
talking and preventing people from getting in. These were the
anti fascists. Now again, I'm a peaceful anti fascist who
watches Scrubs DVDs. Do not engage in brawls. That's not
what us anti fascist scrubs watchers are about. We're just
(13:18):
about Jimmy Kimmel should have a show. That's all. We
come in peace. We watched Scrubs DVDs, Schneider said. The
turning point USA students from Berkeley wanting to have peaceful discourse,
peaceful debate, conversations, talk about how much they love God, family, country.
These people were called the fascists. Schneider asked, who are
the real fascists there? And I will ask them, did
you watch Monday night Football? Because I didn't. Schneider goes
(13:40):
on to say fellow actor Robert de Niro confronted Rob
Schneider about Schneider's support of the President of the United States.
Schneider tells the story de Niro turns around and he's like, Schneider,
how could you support that. I'll clean that up your
jerky face. Schnyder said. I looked right at him and
I said, I love you. I swear to God. He
looked right at me and went, okay. It's the only
way to handle is We were never going to be
(14:01):
out canceled to cancel culture. They're better at it than us.
It's got to be through love. When you come from
a place of love and brotherhood, it doesn't advance to
that next ugly place. Good advice from Rob Schneider. That
is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.
