Callaroga Shark Media. John mullaney and Olivia Months secretly get married. Hi,
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Okay magazine says John mulaney was
wearing a wedding ring and a now deleted Father's Day post. Hmm, I've
seen the now deleted image and he is indeed wearing a gold band much similar
to the one that I wear because I'm married. Hi, Doggie, Sorry,
my old dog came to visit. I thought you were napping. We
have to go out. I'll tell you about Millennia a second. Sorry,
where were we When the old girl comes by and gives you the face?
You gotta take her out. Why don't you make an edit, John,
because that's not fun. I like to let you into my life here anyway.
John m'laney posted a photo of himself with his son, Malcolm, who's
now two, and folks noticed a wedding band on m'laney's finger. We'll keep
an eye on that. Here's a question for you. Is Jerry Seinfeld bad
at handling Heckler's I'm gonna play a slightly longer than clip here, which I
have edited in places for pacing, but I think there's evidence that Jerry might
not be good at handling Heckler's Jerry was in Sydney playing the Kudos Bank Arena.
A Heckler yelled out from the river to the sea, Palestine will be
free. Here's Jerry Seinfeld, queen a genius l He's they're gonna start munching
about three seconds. I will try and get all of your genius accounts and
be all from you. You're really did up here. We're all we're all
on your side now because you have made your points so well and in the
right venue. Do you come to the right place or a political conversation.
Tomorrow we will read in the paper Middle East one hundred percent solved thanks to
man at the Kudos Arena stopping to comedian. They stopped him, and everyone
in the Middle East went, oh my god, let's just get along.
We can't do that because I know there are problems here with indigenous Aboriginal people
and the white They have problems here. So maybe to solve that, I
will screw up Tim Jeffries in a show in New York. If this works,
that will work. You have to go twenty thousand miles from the problem
and grow up a comedian. That is how you saw World Issue. I
feel like he was waffling there. The Jim Jeffries line is really good,
but it took him two minutes to find that line. And you would think
at this point Jerry would have a good heckler retort in his pocket, as
he's been heckled several times now at Palestine. So I don't know. Maybe
you know, everybody's got a weakness. As Jerry would say Superman as his
kryptonite. Maybe hecklers are the way you defeat Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry appeared to
be in great spirits as he was walking around Sydney's Central Business district. I
shared photos in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group,
and Jerry's surrounded by at least three bodyguard looking type guys, and I was
wondering, like, can Jerry Seinfeld in a baseball cap not walk around Sydney?
Is he really going to be recognized? Maybe the paparazzi stalks his hotel,
who knows. But you know, sometimes if you see famous people when
you're not expecting them, you don't recognize them. So if I were in
Sydney, I wouldn't be thinking like, oh, there's Jerry Seinfeld. I'd
probably walk right past the man in the baseball cap. Jerry was dressed in
a long sleeve shirt and blue jeans. He also wore a dark blue cap
and had on a pair of white sneakers with red accents at the heel.
Several of the Catholic websites have shared more details about the pope's meeting with over
one hundred comedians. Julia Louis Dreyfus said the meeting with the Pope was a
wonderful experience, calling the Pope a lovely man who was obviously doing the best
he can and I appreciate that. Jim Gaffigan said it was all comedians,
So it was like a meeting of every poorly behaved kid from church and they
stuck them all in a room. They thought it would be a good idea.
Everyone had ants in their pants, everyone was excited. Then it was
like there's a bunch of funny people in a room, So you know,
it was like ADHD cranked up. Conan O'Brien said, most of my career
has been me saying why am I here? It happens again and again and
again when I'm at the White House. Anytime I'm in one of these situations,
always the same like why am I here? I don't belong. I
think that's how a lot of us felt. We're all looking at each other
thinking something's wrong. We're in this beautiful, beautiful space in the Vatican,
and for some reason they let comedians in, which is always a mistake.
Stephen Colbert said he spoke to the Pope and broken Italian, telling of the
Pope that he had done the English reading of the audiobook of his memoir Life.
Colbert tells the story, I got the craziest call from my manager.
He goes, Baby, I hope you're sitting down, because you're not gonna
believe you just called. I got a call from the Vatican saying would you
be the person to read the Pope's audiobook in English? Colbert said, I'd
love to interview him, but I really want to do a cooking segment with
him, because he talks a lot about cooking. Evidently he makes a great
Tordellini and broto. They asked Colbert why he thought the comedians were there.
I still don't know why comedians are here at the Vatican. I'm very grateful
that we are. Deacon Mike, the guy that didn't hook me up with
an invite to this, sent me a text over the weekend explaining, James
Martin SJ. Remember the whole thing where it's like, I don't think there's
a comedian James Martin, there's a father James Martin SJA. Well, apparently
father James Martin SJ was the de facto chaplain of the Colbert rapport. Also,
because it's Hollywood and everything has to be related to everything else. Everyone's
in Apple Baby. James Martin is the editor at large of the Jesse would
run America Magazine, where Janine Gaffigan has a column. Nothing's ever pure,
everybody always knows some there's always a hook up. I'm sure it's a coincidence.
Gaffigan said he and Colbert were approached by organizers and asked to come up
with a list of names of other comedians who might be willing to participate.
L Axwayan's why I didn't get an invite. Jim Gaffickin was like, you
know, the guy that's been ripping my bourbon for a month, I'm gonna
invite him, to which I would say, Hey, Jim, remember when
you weren't that popular and I had yall serious, and then you stopped returning
calls once she had some fame. I mean, this wouldn't go well at
all, Jim said. They were like, we don't want anyone to do
material, and we were like, then you can't invite any comedian. Comedians
are silly, but they're also very sincere, and you know, they've got
a healthy ego. So it's like, the Pope wants to meet me,
why not? It was cool. Gaffigan described the Pope as very approachable and
said being a Catholic comedian is the most punk rock thing you can do,
is be a comedian that even admits they believe in God. And then to
be Catholic, you're like asking for trouble. What about those non Catholics that
were invited to this thing, Jim? It was universal. There was warmth,
there's openness. Even with the exceeding amount of problems that have existed and
will exist. It was amazing. Jim points out even non believers are familiar
with figures like Moses and Abraham and the fossils. It can be a unifying
thing and that even someone who's agnostic or an atheist can embrace the comic idea.
He notes that his own religious material is not making fun of God or
making fun of people that are a certain belief. It's making fun of humans.
Sometimes I'll see a clip, but it's like an atheist organization that's using
my material, and I'm like, all right, that's an interesting take.
So it's just like human stupidity that's behind most of my material. Conan O'Brien
described the post as a really kind man, and it's joked that he sat
down at a beautiful chair. I want a chair just like that. It's
the chair I deserve. He said. His handshake with the Pope was quick.
It's not like Santa Claus where you sit on his lap and he tell
me you want for Christmas. You can't do that. I was about to
say I want to sled for Christmas, so I want a basketball, and
they said no. It was so quick. There's a wonderful experience of being
the Vatican. See this. It was quite extraordinary. New Italians are doing
something right. This is amazing. Will Conan O'Brien joke about the Pope of
the future, I'll have to think about that. I think the Pope has
a good sense of humor, so we'll see what happens. E WT and
News caught up with Stephen Colbert, who said, the connection between faith and
humorous in the back of my mind all the time. I mean not in
the front of my mind. In the front of my mind is what the
joke is. But a certain point in the back of my mind you have
to say, do I want to tell that joke? And does that go
with everything else that you are besides the comedian, especially doing political satshi are
You're kind of dancing around with a knife in your hand a lot, and
you want to be careful with what you cut. So it's lovely to hear
the Pope acknowledge that there's a value in that for people's hearts, and it
made me think a little bit harder about how I want to use it.
Jim Gaffigan brought his wife and kids. Michael Gaffigan said, I'm going to
brag about meeting the pope. That's so cool, Jim told his son.
And now you have to become a priest much like me. Deacon Mike John
Oliver wasn't there. He was hosting Last Week Tonight and updating us on the
thing with the bakery. You remember this thing I told you about last week
where Dacing's Bakery was trying to buy some new equipment that Oliver had acquired,
and he said he would give it to them if they put his face on
a beer shaped cake. Remember that bit. Well they did, and they're
selling the cakes for eight dollars and donating the proceeds to a local food pantry
people's place. John Oliver said, I love everything about that cake bear.
It's wide open eyes, pleading, munchm munch bites out of my butt right
now. I love the little pause, the little nose, and that each
bear basically looks like it's wearing a John Oliver Halloween mask. They made those
bears so fast. The guy apparently woke up to a text about our show
at three in the morning, a nightmare I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
And by ten am the bears were ready on sale and even had honored
my request that day that to be given an enormous butt and their Facebook post
announcing them saying they have dog all caps and just like that, Facebook is
good again. Coming up on Saturday, I'll speak with Mike Chisholm. He
hosts the Letterman podcast. We talked for about eighty minutes. I might cut
that up into two parts, but uh, you know, so far,
the Saturday interviews are getting a pretty good review. Maybe Deacon Mike can hook
up the Pope. The Pope likes comedy. I'll talk to the Pope for
an hour. I can be respectful. I'm a Catholic. Come on,
Deacon Mike, if you want to read me pontificating about various things, including
music and podcasting. I have a substack. It is free. It is
mcdeepod dot substack dot com. That's in the show notes. Also in the
show notes. Would you like a National Donut Chain T shirt? They came
out. They're pretty snazzy. Link in the show notes. And if you
would like this podcast and a bunch of others on the network, ad free
four ninety nine a month gets you to that this like twenty something shows man
five bucks no commercials. Pretty good deal. Link in the show notes.
Let's hit gossip corner. Pete Davidson did two shows at the Bloomington Center for
the Performing Arts on Friday night. Earlier in the day, shoppers in Uptown
saw Pete Davidson and several friends walking around the stores. Pete visited North Street
Records, Graham Cracker Comics, Waiting Room Records, and Mother Murphy sounds like
a cool town here. Luke is the manager at Graham Cracker Comics and said
one of the customers was checking out with me and said, is that Pete
Davidson. Simpkins hadn't noticed because the store was busy at the time. Right
exactly, Jerry Seinfeld can walk around Sydney at a baseball cap. You're not
expecting Jerry Seinfeld in Sydney. He described Pete Davidson as laid back. He
was pretty chill, honestly. I was like, anything I can help you
with? Pete Davidson said, no, I'm just hanging out in a comic
shop. I'm doing really good. Pete Davidson did buy a rare comic,
Hannah Barbera's Laugh Olympics number one from Marvel Comics Group. I wonder how much
that's worth. Let's look remember the Laugh Olympics. That was awesome. I
was always reading for the really Rottens to win. You either know what I'm
talking about. You're like, what is John babbling about? All right?
Laugh Olympics? Number one came out March tenth, nineteen seventy eight, cover
price at the time thirty five cents. Back In October, an issue grated
nine point six by the comics people went for seventy dollars. In June of
last year, one with only a nine point two went for one hundred and
thirty five bucks. I'm amazed Pete even knows what this is since he was
born in nineteen ninety three. One of the customers asked, are you Pete
Davidson. He was like, I don't know, Maybe again Jerry walking around
Sidney, Hey you Jerry Seinfeld? No, and you keep walking. Maddie
and Anna work at waiting room records. Maddie said, we were both kind
of like, wait a second, and I prepared myself to ask a random
guy if he was Pete Davidson. So I'm like, this might be a
stupid question, but are you Pete Davidson. Pete Davidson said, I might
be again, Jerry. You're walking down the street in Sydney, Hey,
are you Jerry Seinfeld? I might be, and you keep going. As
Pete walked in, Anna heard him say I'm gonna do some damage here.
Apparently Pete Davidson spent around one hundred dollars on CDs and VHS tapes. Colton
is the manager and co owner of Mother Murphy's. He said he treated Pete's
group like you would any other patrons of the fifty six year old business at
one eleven and a half West North Street. They're just regular guys that ever
really thought more about the fact than there are a few guys and they want
to come hang out and take a look at some cool stuff. Pete wound
up buying a few tapestries that have a three D effect when special glasses are
worn. Derrick Gaines, who opened for Pete Davidson, bought a custom handmade
denim jacket that he talked about on stage. Later that night, Gaines wore
the jacket during his set. Pete Davidson wore a custom made Bloomington Fire Department
hockey sweater given to him by the Fire Department. Also on Gossip Corner from
Atlanta Black Star, remember Rob Schneider went off on Will Smith for some reason
last week. Well Ari Spears came to Will Smith's defense. Ari's jumped in
on the comments on Atlanta Black Star's Instagram post about Rob Schneider, saying,
I don't like the fact that Chris Rock kept talking bad for years about that
man's wife. Spears wrote, that's not who he really was or is.
Like most humans, just to come to the pressure of being in a horrible
situation with a woman that he loves driving him crazy, and he had a
breakdown. In Long Beach, California, Today, Gabe Iglesias gets the key
to the city. He'll also do a show at the Long Beach A Terris
Theater. Tickets fifteen dollars. If they're still available, you can request one
from your city council member's office while supplies last. To me, that sounds
like a lot of work. It's just easier to spend fifteen dollars. In
a statement, Gabe said, I'm honored to be recognized by my hometown in
this way, and I'm proud to be able to support Long Beach's youth.
At the same time, if you're a kid growing up in a tough situation,
you might not believe that there's a whole other world out there waiting for
you. But there is. I'm proof of that, and you can be
too. Out Today on Netflix, Outstanding a Comedy Revolution, a documentary examined
sand Up from the nineteen fifties through today, features Lily Tomlin, Billy Eichner,
Joelkimbooster, and many others. It examines how LGBTQ plus comedians sharpened their
wit amid a struggle for equality. Also appearing in archival stand up performances and
interviews, Sander Bernhard want Of Sykes, Eddie Zard, hannagasby Tig Nataro Rose,
O'Donnell, Margaret Show Bob, the Drag Queen, Trixie Mattel and others.
And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,
you'd like without the commercials link in the show notes. Babe, see
you tomorrow.
