Hi, Ai, Johnny Mack. Here. Today's show was recorded a few
hours before Biden announced he wasn't running. I thought it would be weird not
to mention the story anyway. Here's real Johnny Mack with today's daily comedy News
Calaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Is
Andrew schultz career almost over? He took on Taylor Swift. You know what
happens when you do that, right? Apparently there's a YouTube video around where
Andrew said, Taylor is the greatest artist I've ever seen live. She's truly
brilliant, and she's incredibly genuine. The power of when someone is genuine is
when they say something, you believe it to be true. All right,
John, what's wrong there? Well, nothing's wrong. But where he might
get into trouble is Andrew theorized that the reason that Taylor Swift had fans target
Scooter Braun is because his name gets no clout, so she starts referencing Scooter.
Andrew said he could understand her frustration with the situation. It's all about
royalties and stuff, and then added, has there ever been anyone in history
that is a billionaire? The most successful in their field and also unanimously thought
of as a victim. To manage those two things is masterful the emotional iq
to have all your fans still see you as a victim, while everybody who's
aggrieved he has been punished and thrown to the wayside. I told Scooter,
nobody's going to feel bad for you because you're a billionaire too. I understand
where you're coming from. Where you like people think of me this thing that's
not true, Like there are facts and evidence and emails that show that she
is lying, that is not a true thing, and people think of me
this way, and that would frustrate the f out of me. Scooter announced
on June seventeenth that his music manager career was coming to an end after twenty
three years, and he's also parted ways with Justin Timberlake and Kanye West.
Mark Norman spoke to the Gazette about growing up in New Orleans and said it's
a weird place to grow up since we were constantly getting robbed. It definitely
had an impact on me. I would often walk into the house and somebody
would be in my dad's office stealing a computer or something. But our house
was usually a disappointment for criminals that wanders who are weird home and found that
that was really not much worth stealing. I love New York. You have
to love it to be in New York. I've been mugged three times,
but that's what happened when he lived in Brooklyn before sections were gentrified, and
you're young, dumb and drunk. I'm personally frustrated. If you listen every
day, you know I drop into what I call half ass impressions. My
Mark Norman has totally drifted back into doing the Seinfeld everyone does, and I
can't find it again. I'm gonna have to work on that. Norman's comedy
heroes, George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg, I could see that, Bill Bird,
Gregg Giraldo, and Steven Wright. All those guys are comic legends to
me. George Carlin could do it all social commentary jokes. I've been in
a comedy ever since I was a little kid. I was a big Groucho
Marx fan. He was the funniest, weirdest guy. Who ever thought I'd
follow in their footsteps as a comic. David crosspoke to Entrepreneur and said,
like most comics want you to do a special on your stuff's out there.
Unfortunately that stuff is done. Stand up is the only place where this exists
in the arts. The materials done, you burn it. You've got to
start fresh every single time. When I start out, I don't have a
particular theme in mind. I riff a lot and then bits will expand.
I write on stage of the stuff I'm doing at the end of the tours
different than the beginning. When it comes time to make a special, I
always need to cut some stuff I've developed because I don't want to be up
there for two hours. I'll always have about twenty minutes of stuff that I
haven't done yet that I can carry in to the news show, so I'm
not starting completely from scratch. Then they asked him about insulting parts of the
country he performs in. David Cross said, when was the last time he
went to Phoenix? Because I was there recently. I had really fun shows.
But those people aren't under the impression that they're living in a place that
doesn't suck. We know this place sucks. I have to be here for
school, I have to be here for work. Look, a third of
our country lives in areas where they're required by city ordnance to put out cooling
water misters, otherwise half the citizenry will die. Believe me, people who
live in these places know it sucks. If you haven't listened to Kiltonia with
Shane Gillis doing Trump, it is hilarious. There is a compilation video of
just the Trump parts that I want to share in the Facebook group Daily Comedy
News Podcast Group, but Facebook locked me out and they were like, hey,
you got to log in on your phone, and my phone was inside
charging and I just moved on with my day on Sunday because it was nice
out. But I may or may not have shared that in the Facebook group
Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. By the time you're hearing this weird. Al
said when he was trying to get into his friend's rock bands, they thought
it was very funny when I tried to play a rock song on the accordion.
To them, everything on accordion sounds like poka. So I decided to
lean into that idea and start doing Poka ed leys of rock songs and people
think it's funny. Case you missed it out put out a new Poka on
Friday. Al explains as the pok has evolved. They started taking more inspiration
from Spike Jones, the nineteen forties band leader who did like funny versions of
songs, and he'd always incorporate gunshots and slide whistles and cow bells and weird
sound effects, and I started incorporating that as well. So yeah, the
pokem Dleys nowadays is sort of like a cross between traditional poka and old school
Spike Jones from Late Night Er. They tell the story of how Bob Newhart
could have possibly, perhaps maybe succeeded Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. Newhart
telled the story to Kriick Ferguson in twenty fourteen. Back in nineteen sixty seven,
NBC was having one of their arguments with Johnny about salary. Johnny wanted
to raise an NBC said that's it no more. He's not gonna hold us
up anymore. So they were trying out other hosts, and I did the
show for three weeks in New York. Newhart did three weeks as guest hosts
in the summer of nineteen sixty seven, a few months after Carson had temporarily
quit the show over contract dispute. That dispute was about NBC's decision to air
reruns of the show during the after strike. Carson felt it violated his contract.
Jimmy Dean hosted the show for two weeks during that dispute. By July,
Johnny was taking off three weeks to perform in Las Vegas. That's when
new Heart subbed. New Heart subbed for another three weeks that November, when
Carson did more shows in Vegas. New Heart told Craig Ferguson, I was
kind of being groomed, but there was no bad blood. Mark Malkoff,
host of the Inside late Night podcast We Know Mark he was a guest a
few weeks ago, said Newhart and Johnny were friends. Newhart did it the
right way and checked in with Johnny. Newhart said at the end of the
three weeks, I was a blithering idiot. It's the toughest job in the
world. Malkoff says new Heart was one of the rare guest hosts that could
have hosted the show permanently. He definitely was in the conversation before, like
when they were going to replace Jack parrge out to deb Debs joined the two
dollars club at Buy Meancoffee dot Com. Slash Daily Comedy News, John,
what's the two dollar club? You sign up and you're in the club,
and I shout you out, Hi, Deb, and then you support the
show by spending two dollars in my way every month. If one million people
do it, I will have two million dollars minus fees. Not quite at
a million people yet, but Deb much appreciated, and even more appreciated than
the two dollars. Is you listening every day? So hope you're having a
good day, Thanks very much. The Daily Beast pulled out some more quota
from Trey Crowder. I think this is from the rant that I mentioned the
other day. The words of Trey Crowder are according to the Daily Beasts,
y'all. In twenty sixteen, Trump rose I went viral. JD's book came
out. We got to know each other a little bit. He came to
my show, hung out afterwards, went to a bar. All we talked
about the whole time was the existential threat we agreed Trump posed to the American
people. While I was not charmed by the man, in fact, it
was like pounding beers with a spreadsheet, I did leave there thinking, at
least there's some saying Republicans left, Crowder says, nobody tongue polishes a boot
heel like this m effort. The only reason any of us know who JD
is is because he's bought, paid for, and wholly owned by Peter Thiel.
Peter Thiel, the billionaire whose current pet project is military AI. So
yeah, if you thought Dick Cheney and Halliburton was bad, you just wait
till my boy Jim Dave unleashes his sugar Daddy's or mona of autonomous murder drones
on Gaza. F JD vance the laugh Out Loud Loveland Comedy Festival, returning
August first, which is not too far away. If you were friends with
me in real life, you have to realize, I panic that summer's over.
I start worrying on July third, that summer's over. I live in
New Jersey. We get ten weekends, and I start doing the countdown immediately.
So the threat of August first to me, Oh, August first is
like the two minute warning of summer. I understand that I'm crazy in this
four or five weeks left, and I work from home and it doesn't really
matter, and I can record the podcast early and go to the Beach on
a Tuesday and September. I get it, but boy, I'm panic when
August is coming. But at least this August will have the laugh Out Loveland
Comedy Festival. It's in its second year to bring over twenty five comedians from
across the country to perform at various venues in downtown Loveland for a four day
event. Friend of the show, Dan Boublitz Junior, is behind this one.
It said, the response and support received in our first year was overwhelming.
We were unsure how this new comedy festival would be received, but every
show sold out. That's very impressive, and we had to turn people away.
That's a good problem to have in our first year, and we hope
to have that same problem this year. Headliners include Adam Clayton, Holland,
Georgia Comstock, Elan Stribling, Hannah Jones, Shaney, Ross Zach Reinert,
and Rosalie. The festival will also feature some of Colorado's finest up and coming
comedians, along with comedians from across the country. Details at laugh Out Loveland
dot com. Dan was kind enough to send over bios of the comedians.
I have them here in my show notes, but this morning, Johnny Mack
had some bagels and there's something in the Bigel ingredients giving me allergies. I'm
having trouble even speaking today, so I'll dive in on these comedians maybe tomorrow
or maybe closer to the festival. But Dan, thank you for sending that
over. Bill Maher has switched agencies a few months after a report that he
had grown disenchanted with CAA. Bill Moore now with WME. Ronnie Chang is
part of a new ad campaign with something called Ratio. Tiffany Cealin is a
senior manager of brand Experience for Dairy at General Mills. Tiffany, the senior
manager of Brand Experience for Dairy at General Mills, says, our Ratio portfolio
makes it super easy for people to hit their macro goals. Oh souit much,
but we also know that process can sometimes feel super serious. We decided
to work with Ronnie because he brings the exact mindset that embodies the Ratio brand,
embracing the small winds with a lighthearted approach and a delicious snack in hand.
No quote from Ronnie Chang, though, hmm. Paychecks are nice and
that issue. Daily Comedy News for Today I have to go drink some water
or something clear. These allergies, I'm all stuffed up. No, I
don't have COVID. I had bagels. This happens every Sunday. Why do
you have the bagels? John? Have you had bagels? They're good?
See you tomorrow
