Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm shining back with your daily comedy news April
already. Wow. Tim Dillon is one of my favorite comedians. And as
I've said in the past, and I'll continue to say, he's eventually going
to step on a landmine, and I'm going to distance myself from Tim Dillon
so fast I'll be like I never said. Tim Dilan was what are you
crazy? Especially since he said that thing it's gonna happen. The Guardian asked
Tim Dilan, howd you get in a comedy? Tim said, I was
a child actor and I failed. It was embarrassing and shameful. I felt
as if I'd let down my parents, who wanted to retire off my winnings
as an actor, except there were none. I took a long break from
that, eventually got back into comedy at twenty five. How would you describe
your style of comedy dark and a bit silly. That is a good description.
I think people need to laugh at the world, and the world is
crazier than ever. I think I put that through a filter that helps it
make more sense. The Guardian was curious if he has any pre show rituals.
Dylan said I'm not placating the British here, but I like tea.
I'm not being patronized saying, but I have a couple of Earl Gray before
every show. He's like Captain Picicord. It's in my writer and it's in
all of my green rooms. I have a cup of tea and chill out.
I like a bit of solitude before show. Nothing too crazy. His
best hackle. He was asked about a couple got up in the middle of
my show and walked out and said, we're leaving because we're gonna go have
sex. I can't compete with that. That was in Greenwich Village at a
bar where I did shows all the time. I said, well, it's
probably more productive than what I'm doing. Pet Peeves from the World of Stand
Up Tim said, I don't like you want a host. Ask if it's
anyone's birthday or if anyone's celebrating anything, because I don't care strangers. Fan
encounter. I had someone follow me into a hotel I was staying at and
getting the elevator. Tell me they were a big fan. They said,
I followed you for two blocks and I said, oh, you're not staying
at the hotel and they said, no, I'm a fan. It's very
strange when someone tells you that in an enclosed space. Best advice don't overestimate
your worth. Worst advice you can do anything you put your mind to.
Tim Dillon, American Royalty in Manchester, Glasgow in London. April fourth through
the seventh, The Daily Beast wrote a punchy article with the headline comedians line
up to help RFK juniors miss in from campaign. They write from Rogan to
Bill Maher Kennedy, sos have been a who's who of comedy's biggest cranks.
Just so happens that some of them are also incredibly popular artists with highly engaged
fan bases. There's Andrew Schultz, who, in his twenty twenty Netflix special
blame the pandemic on dirty Chinese people, according from The Daily Beast here,
and in twenty twenty one, persuaded in La Theater to waive its vaccine rechoir.
And for shows, there's Tim Dillon, the former subprime mortgage broker and
current nine to eleven truther who has lately embraced the white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy
theory. Hosted Alex Jones praised the white nationalist writer Steve Saylor stoked the moral
panic over trans people and questioned the efficacy of COVID vaccines and masks. I
listen to Tim's pot every week. I think the writer here is missing the
comedy that Tim is doing. Tim can speak for himself, but I don't
find him to be a nine to eleven truther in the least, or I
would not listen to him. I also don't find him embracing the white nationalist
great replacement theory, or I would not listen to him. Did he have
Alex Jones on If he did, I skipped the episode on purpose and stoking
the moral panic over trans people. I'm not sure about that either. The
Daily Beast writs he was also banned from Airbnb in twenty twenty one for threatening
to burn down his host home over a cleaning fee. But that's neither here
nor there. I have heard Tim tell that story. I don't know how
accurate diversion he tells is or not. Back to RFK, The Daily beeastrights,
there's Dave Smith, the anti vaccine Libertarian Party activist who has also embraced
the great Replacement theory, praise Nazis, demonized trans people, argued that drunk
sex can't be rape, and said that American Jews should be grateful to the
United States for allowing him to flourish. There's Theo Vaughn, who recently sat
down for amiable chats with Tucker Carlson featuring misinformation about the polio vaccine and a
former border patrol chief featuring violent anti immigration rhetoric. Kennedy has even found a
friendly ear in Whitney Cummings, who has spent recent years arguing that comedians are
supposed to be scumbags, and who lived up to her promise by mocking trans
women in her latest stand up special. In Kennedy's contation with Tim Dillon or
if Kay described the anti vax label as pejorative intended to marginalize and silence him.
Daily Beast writes on Vaughn's This Past Weekend podcast, he agreed with the
hosts false claim that the polio vaccine ended up giving cancer to a lot of
women. On Howie Mandel's podcast, he insisted he's not anti vaccine, before
acknowledging that he never got the COVID nineteen vaccine and falsely claiming again that vaccines
cause ostism. He told Mandel, I'm not saying all autism is caused by
vaccine. I'm saying that vaccines, definitely, you know, are largely responsible
for the epidemic that we saw begin in nineteen eighty nine. He made the
same argument to Bill Maher, who argued that this position is not unreasonable.
Dave Smith had Kennedy on his podcast to debate his position on Israel, tailing
Kennedy, You're so great on your Craine, You're so great on the vaccine.
Why can't it be great on this THEO Vaughn mostly stuck to questions about
his other campaign positions, while Bobby Lee mostly asked about his relationship with Cheryl
Hines. Cummings only touched the vaccine issue in a rambling pre interview speech that
concluded with the message, let's be honest with ourselves. No one knows anything
interesting stuff. I've listened to a few RFK interviews. I find him easy
on ears. Now you're like, don't you hear what his voice sounds like.
I understand he has vocal challenges, but I like a podcast that doesn't
yell and scream. It's why I like Rogan. I can just kind of
zone out to Rogan. I actually prefer Rogan's interviews more than the comedians,
because with the comedians sometimes we'll get a little louder. I often have insomnia
is a little strong. But like I'll wake up the middle of night,
it takes me a full hour and a half to go back to sleep,
so I'll wind up listening to podcast to kind of wind back down, and
I find Rogan good for that in middle night. So I've heard a bunch
of these RFK interviews. I disagree with a lot of his positions, but
I enjoy listen to him speak, if that makes sense. Comedian Brian Simpson
believes Tom Brady could run for president and win. I think, yeah,
here's your choices, Trump, Biden, RFK junior Tom Brady. That Brady
Button's gonna be pretty attractive there. Tell me who his VP candidate is and
I'll look at it. Simpce. It did caution that the quarterback is likely
to lose the swing state of Georgia. That's a joke about the Super Bowl.
Timpson said. The best way to in sure Tom Brady gets into the
White Houses by making sure forty nine Ers coach Kyle Shanahan as his opponent.
Shanahan was the offensive coordinator for the Falcons in that famous Falcons loss in the
Super Bowl where Brady brought the Patriots back. Simpson said he'd only lose in
Georgia. Brady could run as a Republican and we could get Kyle Shanahan to
run as a Democrat, He'll definitely beat him. He then suggested Vice President
Lebron James as Brady's running mate, suggesting they have such a fan falling that
nobody in America could match. Well, I can think of somebody who could
match Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift versus Tom Brady. I think Taylor might take
that election. You know who made a joke about Taylor Swift one time,
Joe Coy. Yeah, it was vicious. So what was happening was Joe
Coyle's host thing the goal the gloves and boy, way do you hear this
vicious joke he made about Taylor Swift. As you know, we came on
after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL.
On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift.
I swear Taylor was having none of that and basically murdered Joe Cooy's career.
Joe Coy recently spoke to I ninety five and he was asked if he would
host the Golden Globes again. He said, I ain't scared to do anything.
The risk is the best part of life. I could say I did
it. It's a crazy gig, but who else would do it? Like
I said, Chris Rock called me and said the same thing. They offered
it him and he turned it down. I saw the opportunity. It was
eighty three years that they've had this award show. Never, not once did
they offer it to an Asian comedian or anybody to host it solo. And
that was my opportunity and I took it. You know, when you get
Seth Meyers, Jamie Fox, she mc kimel, Steve Martin, they all
understood the complexity of that gig. It's like, you know, I bash
it over the head, and damn if I do it, Damn if I
don't mention anything. It's like, bro, I took the gig in less
than a week and a half. You know what I'm saying. Everybody turned
it down. I want to take that risk and go for it. I
saw an opportunity and went for it. You know, That's what happened.
So if I could explain the situation, you'd understand. If I kept on
going, it sounds like whatever Joe said. When you see the cuts,
you're not really seeing the entire situation. If you want to see it,
it's like, oh cool, he's performing in a food court at a mall.
What a gig. He's in front of basket and robins. There's a
sale on pepper and an ice cream, Like legit. It was pure chaos.
It's literally the Award Show where they're eating lobster and drinking wine. You
know what I'm saying. It's the craziest thing, but no one knows that.
You see the oscars and you're like, I don't understand what's happening.
It's like, Okay, put a lobster tail in every single lap, in
six bottles of them away, you know what I mean. You hear clinging
forks at butterfalling and it's like, what's going on? If you like to

Why need you read thirty days of stuff to us? Because I was away
all weekend and I wanted to pretape today. It's cool, all right,
let's see who's in Melbourne today. Now I really have to do some math.
Okay, it's whatever day I recorded this, and then you're listening April
first, except somebody's in Melbourne where it's tomorrow, so April second. This
it's so confusing. Plus the Aussies they do their calendars Monday to Sunday.
You know us Americans, we do Sunday to Saturday on a calendar. It's
a Tuesday's not even where Tuesday's supposed to be. Alright, let's see what
we got here, trash test dummy circus. Here are three guys in construction
hats. Everybody put your bins out. Tonight's midnight and the trash test dummies
are on duty. With side slipping, slapstick comedy, daring acrobatics and dexterous
juggling. These dummies are off on an imaginative adventure that's anything but garbage,
with ballet and balloons thrown in for good measure. This fast paced hour of
adept unadulterated mischief delivers a dump truck full of hilarity. All right, that's
fun, Hannah Gatsby, we know who that is. It's even a clip.
Let's listen. I'm genuinely to be here. It's been a minute for
me to be at the festival. Happy to be back. When they phone
me to ask me the host. I said, yes, of course,
what an honor. But it is also very confusing, like I'm not a
natural host, like I've killed the vibe already. I am aware of this,
don't worry. Like a host is supposed to be warm and like naturally
buoyant. This is me trying. That was fun. Let's get out there,
and that's your comedy needs for today. If you enjoy the program and
tell a friend about it, they might like it too. And I'll see you tomorrow
