WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.759 Callaroga Shark Media Jimmy Foul said a Delta Airlines pilot was sentenced to ten months 2 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.560 in jail for showing up to work drunk. Yeah, you got ten months 3 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.760 in prison and a job offer from Southwest. Hello. I'm Johnny Mack with 4 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.480 your daily comedy news. Wait to hear this Kevin Hart thing. Hoo, 5 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.079 there was a lot today. It took me two and a half hours to 6 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.839 sort the stories. Not everything's making today's program, with just so many articles 7 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.079 and interviews and podcasts with comedians. So I've got a load of material well 8 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.960 into next week. But the big thing today, The Washington Post threw some 9 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:47.320 serious heat I insight right up against Kevin Hart's chin. The headline is Kevin 10 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:52.000 Hart funny. Now I love this. The genesis of this article here is 11 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.600 basically I'm paraphrasing, why are we giving the Mark Twain Prize to Kevin Hart? 12 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.280 That was kind of my original reaction to the announcement as well. But 13 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.040 the Washington Post is not pulling punches. They write comedy, it seems, 14 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.359 is merely the Empire's cornerstone and some other comedians they could sort of weak. 15 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.200 They quote Donnell Rawling saying on a podcast. I hear so many comics say 16 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.719 Kevin Heart's not funny. Donelle didn't say if he agrees with them or not. 17 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.519 Mike Epps on Instagram in twenty eighteen wrote, I still don't think you 18 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.040 are behind is funny? I cleaned it up a little. You may recall 19 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.200 Kat Williams was on Shannon Sharp's podcast and called Kevin Hart an industry plant. 20 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.560 Kevin Hart reacted to that and said, at the circus, when a lion 21 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:34.680 comes out and rides a bike, you don't think about it too hard. 22 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.680 You just go, Okay, that's crazy. The post writes Heart has built 23 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.079 something massive, But does the last name Hart mean something in comedy? Does 24 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.079 he consider his comedy to be impactful? Or is he a lion riding a 25 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.480 bicycle? We'd like to ask Cart himself about all this. We spent months 26 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.079 trying to schedule him the Kennedy Center, which we'll host and confer the prize 27 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.120 March twenty fourth. Tried helping. Maybe the interview would be in Qatar, 28 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.519 where we had a show, or maybe on a film set in Atlanta, 29 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.359 maybe just over Zoom, but Kevin Hart had other things to do, so 30 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.759 we bought a one hundred and thirty five dollars ticket for a bad Seat in 31 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:13.000 North Charleston, South Carolina to see his brand new material tour and listen for 32 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.439 answers. Boy, I love this article so much. They are bringing it. 33 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.639 They're write Heart's small athletic frame. He's five foot four, prowl's the 34 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.800 stage like an NBA player on the court. All twenty three hundred members of 35 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.199 the audience have locked their phones and secure pouches. All eyes are on Heart. 36 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.520 It's clear what he means when he says he doesn't write jokes. Instead, 37 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.719 he shouts his way through meandering stories. They usually end with a laugh 38 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.800 line that will repeat several times, each one louder time out. Chris Rock 39 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.039 does that same thing. I'm not saying Chris Rock sucks, but Chris Rock 40 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:49.360 will go, here's the punch line. The punch line right. They'll usually 41 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.039 end a laugh line that will repeat several times while he pantomimes say his explosive 42 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.599 defecation after eating a spicy Chick fil a sandwich where his family's eye rolling when 43 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.599 his nephew came out as gay. Quoting Kevin Hart, he I think I 44 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.120 speak for the whole family when I say we know, we know, we 45 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.759 know. The audience devours it, laughing louder with each repetition. Yikes, 46 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.199 yikes, yikes, this is fun. Johnny Mack likes the gossip. Sup 47 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.599 Betting is Kevin Art Funny comics such as Keith Robinson, Patrise O'Neal and David 48 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.919 Tel thought so. They helped him get a start and respect in New York 49 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.120 stand up clubs. Meet Him mogul Damon Dash thought so he put him in 50 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.520 the Rock a Fella produced movie Paper Soldiers, alongside Jay Z, Charlie Murphy, 51 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.599 and Michael Rappaport. Jodd Apatow thought so. He cast him in a 52 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.639 few episodes of his Fox Had Come Undeclared with Seth Rogan and Jay Barshell twenty 53 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.039 three years ago. The Fish out of Water persona he honed in movies such 54 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.319 as Ride Along, Get Harden several films with Dwayne Johnson, draws big box 55 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.919 office receipts. His movie character there is really only one, is an extension 56 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.560 of a stand up act. Frenetic, self deprecating, yet overconfident, fast 57 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.840 talking, and most important, all caps loud. The Washington Post continues, 58 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.960 Funny is in the ear of the listener. But perhaps the proof is in 59 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.719 the empire. Cornerstone be damned his modeled underwear from Macy's. He's played in 60 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.560 major poker tournaments. He co created a TV show in twenty thirteen called Real 61 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.240 Husbands of Hollywood. He founded a production company that pumps out the schlocky comedies 62 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.879 he appears in. He started a ventual capital firm that invests in companies that 63 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.800 make beds, energy, drinks, snacks, and cleaning products. Oh there's 64 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.519 more, all right, fasten your seat belts. Heart's Empire seems impervious to 65 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.800 threats. He cheated on his pregnant wife in twenty seventeen, Johnny Mack pauses, 66 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.319 No one seemed to care. In twenty fifteen, he said he would 67 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.839 never play a gay character. No one really blinked. In twenty eighteen, 68 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.680 the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences announced he would host the twenty 69 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.360 nineteen Oscars. Almost immediately, Twitter useres and journalists began sharing a slew of 70 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.120 his old homophobic tweets and Santa pits. The Academy asked him to apologize. 71 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.560 He refused, resigned a gig, and then gave a non apology on Twitter 72 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.639 but controversy rolls off him because he never fully admits wrongdoing, never earnestly apologizes. 73 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.160 Instead, he talks about personal growth, He's always evolving and growing, 74 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:03.920 and complains about cancel culture. Did I tell you this is not pulling any 75 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.959 punches. I can't believe this. I forgot to check the byline. Let 76 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:12.120 me check the bioline here by Travis m Andrews. Travis m Andrews is a 77 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.040 Future Wader. Joined the Post in twenty sixteen. He was previously a traveling 78 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.680 culture editor for Southern Living magazine, a contributing pop culture reporter for Mashable in 79 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.560 the Week. Some of his other recent articles, I'm Just curious is an 80 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.279 oh bit for m m at walsh an article on March fourteenth about the Mark 81 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.160 Twain Prize. On March twelfth, the headline, Oh that's what happens when 82 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:36.279 the Academy nominates popular movies March twelfth. Chat Cafe the exceptional Indian restaurant in 83 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.759 a gas station. See I'm curious. I want to click on that, 84 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:45.879 but I cannot afford to get sidetracked today. Johnny Mack Stay focused Washpot writes 85 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.879 a bid from his twenty thirteen special, let me explain about how his infidelity 86 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.360 broke up his first marriage captures the cycle. Yes, people, I cheated. 87 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.800 Am I ashamed of it? No? I'm not do I wish I 88 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.360 could take it back. No, I don't let me tell you why you 89 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.800 can't evolve as a man if you never make a mistake. I'm not sure 90 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.240 that's all that cool. But again, it's in the context of a comedy 91 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.360 special, So we should never take anything set in a comedy special all that 92 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.079 seriously. He told The Sunday Times in twenty twenty one. I've been canceled 93 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.160 what three or four times? In the same interview, he suggests that anyone 94 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.839 who wants to cancel someone should shut the f up. Post continues. One 95 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.920 phrase came up repeatedly among fans and Charleston. Oh, I know where this 96 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.120 is going because I've preread this for age way to hear this That phrase, 97 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.000 he's relatable. Who among us hasn't taken penis enlargement pills from a gas station 98 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.319 and then commanded his spouse to recite his social Security number during six But maybe 99 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.959 we're thinking too literally. What's relatable isn't the taking of the pills, but 100 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.879 the insecurity that leads to them. There's a deep universal anxiety at the heart 101 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.800 of hard jokes, and there's a deep universal anxiety. And the way he 102 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.240 talks about himself. He needed to tell the Sunday Times I'm talented as f 103 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.199 that he's not funny. Slander is the Best began a tweetstorm in twenty twenty 104 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.439 one when Kevin highlighted that his movies have made four billion dollars in the box 105 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.720 office and that three of a stand up specials are among the top ten highest 106 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.399 gross of all time. I've also turned my comedic talents into a place of 107 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:06.439 business and branding and radio and other revenue streams. The hate slander fuels me 108 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.600 to do more. And now the focus of the Washington Post article asked the 109 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.600 question, is the Twain Prize about being funny? Is fun and loud? 110 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.560 Close enough? Cliff nester Off, the stand up historian, notes that Kevin 111 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:25.360 Hart and last year's winner Adam Sandler are difficult to contextualize because they're technically mid 112 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.439 career. Nestro Off says, Kevin Hart really belongs to one generation of show 113 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.079 business. I don't know if we're there yet. To see specific comedians performers 114 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.759 that have been influenced by Kevin Hart. It almost feels like we're honoring fame. 115 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.399 Wow, woh, would love to know what you think about that one. 116 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.720 I shared it in the Facebook group. Folks are telling me the article 117 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.680 is payhold, but you just got the gist of it. And if you 118 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.639 use Apple Podcasts, they now have transcripts. So if you want to scroll 119 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.199 through everything I just read to you, I'd be curious your thoughts. Daily 120 00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:00.480 Comedy News podcast group. Wow, that one story was the length of what's 121 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:07.160 normally one segment. How about this one from Late Nighter? They'll say Sloan 122 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.959 was asked about hosting the Daily Show. She also did not pull any punches 123 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.279 until Late Nighter. I'm just telling you the reality of the situation that's not 124 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.759 going to happen. I'm paying attention and I work there. It's not about 125 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.319 whether they asked me. It's why they didn't ask Roy, would Junior? 126 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.519 Because if they didn't ask Roy, they sure is Heleen gonna ask me? 127 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.720 If they're getting rid of all the diversity in Late Night, why would they 128 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.120 turn around and ask me? Next paragraph here on Late Nighter says Sloan is 129 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.039 referring to the how late night has reverted to just being hosted by white guys 130 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.120 after the following list of people have stopped doing late night shows. That list 131 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.399 includes Samantha Bee, z Way, Ember Ruffin, Jesus and Marrow, and 132 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.600 Trevor Noah, Well, Trevor left on his own. Jesus and Marrow had 133 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.240 a fight, sam Bee. I think turn around out of money, right. 134 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.559 I don't know why the other two ended. Sloane says the atmosphere at 135 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.600 the Daily Show has lightned a bit recently. Sloan said, this is what's 136 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.000 happening with everything. Look at all the shows that are getting canceled. Who 137 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.320 lose this fool was hilarious. It got canceled. Nobody knows why. I'll 138 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.279 tell you why. Nobody watched it. That's why shows get canceled. It 139 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.080 looks like this is what the directive is. And so I can't worry about 140 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.720 everything as a whole, because that just takes your brain somewhere it's not supposed 141 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.000 to go. It's too big for my brain. Listen, if your show 142 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.440 gets views and you can sell to advertisers, it'll be on end a story. 143 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.519 There's no conspiracy. I can tell you why this fool got canceled. 144 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.120 Nobody watched it, so Loan says, with John Stewart coming back, everybody 145 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.639 in the building has relaxed because it's okay, we're probably not going to get 146 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.559 canceled now. Comedy Central is always an interesting place to be. TV right 147 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.600 now is an interesting place to be. So yeah, there are a lot 148 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.279 of people who are like, my kids could stay in private school. We're 149 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.799 probably not going to get canceled right now. That's the main thing. I 150 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.200 got a lot more. I need a break. Normally I do the show 151 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.480 in two chunks. We may have three chunks today. There's so much going 152 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.000 on. David Tel he does indeed have a Netflix special coming out on March 153 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.720 twenty sixth. There's no press about it, there's no articles about it. 154 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.799 This is it's very strange. There's not even a real triller. I went 155 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.279 hunting and found that Netflix posted some audio. But this isn't produced as a 156 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.759 trailer. It's just somebody went all right, I'll grab a couple jokes so 157 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.080 you'll know if there's no music. There's no editing here. You'll also note 158 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.279 that David Tell is working clean here. But I like this clip a lot. 159 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.720 It's really tough because there's no late night food anymore. It's all gone. 160 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.679 I don't know what happened, but no food after eleven. You don't 161 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.399 believe me, I'll take you through it. Okay. I'm in Milwaukee, 162 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.039 which is a great town. Milwaukee, great town, no late night food, 163 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:39.639 which kind of explains Jeffrey Dahmer. Now, hey, this guy was 164 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.519 a monster, all right. I am not condoning anything he did. But 165 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:50.039 you get hungry, Am I right? I Mean, come on, all 166 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.240 I'm saying is pack a snack, all right? Now? I do trail 167 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.519 mix anybody. I always travel with a bag of trails the most unsatisfying snack, 168 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.200 Am I right? I mean, honestly, let's call it what it 169 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.960 really is. Are you ready? Not enough M and m's. I mean 170 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.480 that's what trail makes. It is. Every handful is just another handful of 171 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.320 disappointment. Am I right? It's kind of like the hug of a step 172 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.679 dad. I mean, it just doesn't Yeah, I knew he had a 173 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.960 couple of broken toys in the room. For what it's worth, in my 174 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.919 opinion, David Tell, and you don't hear it there? He's doing material 175 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:35.440 there is really probably the best at crowd work. I've seen him going back 176 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.799 a while. We were at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and that's a long 177 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.440 time gone. And he just got up there and did I don't know, 178 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.200 half an hour just working the crowd. It was amazing. That Steve Martin 179 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.080 documentary is coming out. Apple has released a longer clip. The first voice 180 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:54.360 you're going to here is Jerry Seinfeld. Let's listen. This guy was getting 181 00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:05.399 people so happy. He's up there, the most idolized comedian ever. I 182 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.759 always thought of him as the door out of the sixties. Well here's something 183 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.679 I don't often see. Wow, you know, you could be silly again. 184 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.120 You know. I have figured out one thing that would totally put an 185 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.480 endo show business, and that is if the human race, instead of having 186 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.200 two arms, just had one arm right in the center of our body. 187 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.960 Now, the reason that would put an end to show business? How would 188 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.759 people clap? And one more thing, if you bought my album and you 189 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.360 came down here expecting me to do a lot of her teams from the record 190 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:45.759 and I didn't do them, well, I trim that a little bit for 191 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.240 pacing. Also in this documentary, Tina fey Lorne Michaels, Larry David, 192 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.159 Diane Keaton, Eric Idyl, Selena Gomez, and Martin. Short official synopsis. 193 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.679 Steve Martin is one of the most beloved and enigmatic figures in entertainment. 194 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.360 Steve is a docum mentory in two pieces. I've talked about this before. 195 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.000 First part, the part John cares about the comedy. Second, the movies 196 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.679 and the banjo and all that. I don't care anyway, Steve. On 197 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:15.399 Apple TV Plus March twenty ninth, Bert Kreischer went on Shaquill O'Neills The Big 198 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.480 Podcast. Jack said, when I work out, my gym is in the 199 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.679 back, the pool is cold. It's like a cold plunge, so I 200 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.039 jump in. I don't want to get out, and then take a shower. 201 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.320 Kreischer shared his workout and said, ice cold pool, Get in there, 202 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.559 wake up. I got rituals. I swim from one side underneath underwater 203 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.679 back to my breath holds Sigora. He's made fun of me for taking pool 204 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.720 showers my whole life. Shack took it personally because that's also his ritual. 205 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.919 So he grabbed the phone for Bert Krescher and sent a voicemail. Tom Sigor 206 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.799 saying, Hey, Tom, this is Bert's twin brother. I take pool 207 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:50.480 showers too, so leave him alone or I'll kill you. He was joking. 208 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.720 ConA and O'Brien will take part in a special event called Globe Trotting and 209 00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.840 Podcasting ConA O'Brien's Life After Late Night TV. This is part of the big 210 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.240 push about this show on Max that's finally coming out called Conan O'Brien Must Go. 211 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.639 We'll be hearing a lot from Conan coming up here. I think Globe 212 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.440 Trouting and Podcasting Conan O'Brien's Life After Late Night TV at the Paley Center in 213 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.480 New York on April eleventh. Did you see Mike Tyson is going to fight 214 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.960 Jake Paul, Our spears waited in telling of lad TV. Mike still got 215 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.039 the power and he still has the speed. My question is does he have 216 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.080 the endurance? And listen, everybody's going, Jake Paul's a YouTuber, Mike's 217 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.039 gotta whoop his butt, blah blah blah. I want to see Jake Paul 218 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.799 get his butt whooped too. But here's the thing. When Jake Paul first 219 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.879 started, he was a little sloppy and he wasn't well put together as he 220 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.679 is now with his body, his postures technique. So my biggest fears that 221 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.960 Mike Tyson does not have the endurance. Hmm all right, let me take 222 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.240 just a quick break here so we can do the second part in the normal 223 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.320 way. I've got a rhythm to this, and I just I need thirty 224 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.039 seconds. Be right back.

And I know this because the guy that took in your car 234 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.840 is my friend Van, and Van told me the story that he got in 235 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.519 a car and somebody was mid Daily Comedy News. So, whoever you are, 236 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.039 man, say hi on Facebook. I was so happy when Van told 237 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.519 me that story, and I hope your car is okay. He didn't explain 238 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.720 why I was in. I don't know. Maybe just need oil change. 239 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.039 I don't know why, but BMW guy in New Jersey or woman, thank 240 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.600 you for listening. As I mentioned earlier, the Facebook group is Daily Comedy 241 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.320 News podcast group. It's been super active lately, people other than me starting 242 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.360 conversations, which is what I wanted to be. I don't mind starting conversations, 243 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.200 but I love when I log in and I'm like, oh, here's 244 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.799 a good topic, So please feel encouraged to join us.

But once we figure out ah, this seems like a human, 247 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.080 will let you in and then you could post away. Mike and Cleveland. 248 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.720 He shot me a note he was reacting to the other day when I 249 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.840 talk about Lenno versus Letterman, and I think he had a good insight, 250 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.000 he said, paraphrasing. Leno felt like he needed to keep the job, 251 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.080 whereas Dave didn't give a hoot if he got fired or not, and I'm 252 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.759 like, yeah, you know what, You're right. Good insight by Mike 253 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:44.159 in Cleveland. A bunch of podcasts. As I've mentioned, I'm way behind 254 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.279 on my pods. I've got a long drive next weekend. Maybe i can 255 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.840 catch up on them. Anyway. This week, Mark Marin had on Eddie 256 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.639 peppatone that came out yesterday, and David tell I believe that came out on 257 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.720 Monday. Neil Brennan, I forgot to write down the notes. Let me 258 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.559 pull it up. He's at a bunch of people. Ah. Bill Burr, 259 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:02.519 That's who I wanted to tell you about. Bill Burr came out on 260 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.400 Thursday. Kyle Kanaan came out on the fourteenth. Recent episodes there, Trevor 261 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.279 Wallace, Jim Norton, Seth Green, Dusty Slay. I've listened to the 262 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.599 slag in the Norton. That show has been really clicking lately. Tammy Pascatelli's 263 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.839 on Elvis Duran's podcast. Ari Shafer has launched a new travel podcast called You 264 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.039 Be Tripping' I like that title. His first guest is Andrew Santino. The 265 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.359 official description comedian and seasoned travel expert Ari Shafer has launched his newest podcast, 266 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.559 You Be Tripping On You Be Tripping. Ari Shafir finds the comic wanting to 267 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.200 ditch the travel guides and bring on real folks to discuss their messed up adventures 268 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.359 in hilarious disaster tourism. I don't know is Andrew Santino shucking jokes a good 269 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:45.599 example of real folks. Here's a clip if you can find a booie in 270 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.640 a bay, which, by the way, is funny to hear him say. 271 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.000 When he would say it, he'd say it sounded like boy. He's 272 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.440 like, we must find a little boy, and I was like, why 273 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.720 do we need a little boy? He's like, no, we have to 274 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.079 get a little boy for the boat. And I was like, I don't 275 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.880 really want a boy on the boat. Your wife just they have different customs. 276 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.319 It's you got, all right, we'll get a little boy on the 277 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.400 book. By the way, that's the first clip they shared, and let's 278 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.759 be honest, that's not the greatest clip. I'll check out the pod, 279 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.640 but that clip doesn't make me go wow, I gotta check this out. 280 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.200 Already has lots of wild stories to tell from his international travels, such as 281 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.319 getting Bert Krescher fat and Greece, as well as dancing for fourteen hours in 282 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.359 a warehouse in Berlin. I had to read that twice to make sure it 283 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.359 said warehouse, not a similar word warehouse in Berlin. On some of the 284 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.440 finest lab made chemicals known to man. The Entra Santino episode, they'd talk 285 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.079 about the little islands off the coast of Italy, the subtle art of annoying 286 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:41.519 locals and seeing so many stray dogs roaming everywhere. Upcoming guests include frequent podcast 287 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.680 guests Joe List, Mark Norman, and also Kevin Ryan. More to be 288 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.559 announced. From the Sun, No, not the not the Sun, the 289 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.960 newspaper which is called the Sun. Imagine there was comedy news from the Sun. 290 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.839 Channel four bosses have apologized to one of their former employees who made a 291 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:03.039 serious and concerning outgation about Russell Brand's behavior. The CEO said, one former 292 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.720 Channel four employee made a serious, concerning allegation about Russell Brand in two thousand 293 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.039 and nine. Check your calendar. This was not escalated to Channel four's then 294 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.960 senior management team, nor investigated as it should have been. I've apologized on 295 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.079 behalf of the organization to the individual for this breakdown and for the distress that 296 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.839 this matter has caused. A total of five women claim Brand had assaulted them 297 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:27.079 between twenty six and twenty thirteen. Before the allegations were published, Russell Brand 298 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.960 released a YouTube video in which he strongly denied the claims without specifying what they 299 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.119 were. Mike Vicky Owns got a special today on the eight hundred Pound Guerrilla 300 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.759 YouTube channel. It'll be at six o'clock. Now, I'm not sure what 301 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.640 time zone the eight hundred Pound Gorilla stuff is usually Central Time. This is 302 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:47.000 called Worse Kind of Thoughtful. It's inspired by his twenty eighteen comedy album on 303 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.920 the same name. In this unique hour of comedy, Mike fully narrates while 304 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.079 his talented friends, fellow comics, artists and more have been recruited to perform 305 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:59.000 the stand up material on his behalf. That's Fun. Adam Newmanman has a 306 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.880 new hour of comedy, brought his guitar music, magic horses, but stuff. 307 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.759 This hour has it all. It's called Jew Versus the Volcano. It's 308 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.599 his fifth hour of stand up. You'll find it on Blonde Medicines YouTube channel. 309 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.440 Jew Versus The Volcano has three acts. The first act classic stand up 310 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.279 checking in where he's at now recently Mary traveled and barreling out of a pandemic. 311 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.839 The second act is the age old tale about losing one's virginity, featuring 312 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.640 an appearance by RIM's Mike Mills and a visit to the emergency room. The 313 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.039 third and final act brings us to what Adam Newman has been planning all along 314 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.519 coming out as a guitar comedian. It was in New York a few weeks 315 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.400 ago, and it rained the whole time I was there. The first thing 316 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.519 I had to do in New York was like dip into a bodega and get 317 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.759 like a cheap four dollar umbrella, you know. And I was walking in 318 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.480 Brooklyn, in the neighborhood I was staying in. And I don't know if 319 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:49.559 it's because I live in LA and just haven't held an umbrella in a long 320 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.519 time, or it was extra slippery or extra wet or whatever, but Augusta 321 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.279 Wynn came and I just lost it. It's just like up in the air. 322 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.720 I turned around just in time to see it land in a baby's stroller. 323 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.160 Okay, the baby's fine, I promise you. The baby's fine, 324 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.400 but the mom was mad. She was like hey, I was like, 325 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:12.079 I'm sorry, and she goes, you threw your umbrella at my baby. 326 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.319 I was like, I didn't throw it at your baby. Have you ever 327 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.599 tried to throw and have you ever tried to throw an open umbrella? Like 328 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:23.319 open against the way that it's open, like facing the other direction?
