Speaker 1: Callaroga, Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Tidley Holme, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. You
Speaker 2: know whose pubblicist deserves a race today mine. I'm the
Speaker 2: guest on the Letterman Podcast. Apparently Mike the host, everybody
Speaker 2: must have said no to him. Everyone else must be
Speaker 2: dead or on vacation. It is the summer. He had
Speaker 2: no one to turn to, and he had asked me
Speaker 2: to be the guest. And we didn't even talk about
Speaker 2: David Letterman. Have you heard of David Letterman hosted a
Speaker 2: late night show for thirty years, does a thing on Netflix.
Speaker 2: He's not that famous anyway, If you're a fan of
Speaker 2: me and you want to hear me talk about me
Speaker 2: for eighty ninety minutes with Mike the Letterman Podcast, I
Speaker 2: will attempt to remember to put a link in the
Speaker 2: show notes so you can one click it. There's also
Speaker 2: a YouTube version. So if you listen to this podcast
Speaker 2: every day and you're like, you know, Johnny Mack's got
Speaker 2: a sexy voice. He must be a handsome looking dude,
Speaker 2: even though he admits to being fifty four and could
Speaker 2: lose a couple pounds. Well, if you watch the video,
Speaker 2: there's two of us the guy that looks like George Clooney,
Speaker 2: that's me The Letterman Podcast Wherever you get your Shows.
Speaker 2: Had a lot of fun talking to Mike. One of
Speaker 2: the topics we talked about is how I build this
Speaker 2: show and how I will put in the first position
Speaker 2: a story that has famous names so that people click
Speaker 2: on the podcast. For example, say you had a story
Speaker 2: where Jerry Seinfeld could have been on south Park that
Speaker 2: would be good for a headline. You would use that
Speaker 2: as your headline and make it story number one. Well
Speaker 2: as the story goes. Supposedly, Jerry Seinfeld reached out to
Speaker 2: the creators of south Park back in nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 2: was like, Hey, I'd be on the show, and the
Speaker 2: south Park guy said sure, and they asked Jerry to
Speaker 2: voice Turkey number two. Lines would have included things like
Speaker 2: gobble gobble. Jerry declined. The role of Turkey number two
Speaker 2: was played by one of the usual south Park voice actors.
Speaker 2: My favorite headline of the day from Entertainment Weekly, the
Speaker 2: Facts of Life revival was spoiled by a greedy bitch.
Speaker 2: According to co star Mindy Cone, all right, let's break
Speaker 2: this down because it gets really interesting, really fast. Mindy
Speaker 2: Cone says she and two of her castmates were betrayed
Speaker 2: when the fourth member of their friendly quartet spoiled plans
Speaker 2: for a revival of Facts of Life. Now, first of all,
Speaker 2: what would a revival of Facts of Life even be
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenties for sixty year old women living together?
Speaker 2: Do we want to see this? I don't think we
Speaker 2: actually want to see that. If you told me you
Speaker 2: were bringing it back in. Miny Cone is now in
Speaker 2: the Missus Garrett role and they're like some new college
Speaker 2: age girls. All right, that makes sense. But four sixty
Speaker 2: year old women living together? Did they never get married?
Speaker 2: Do they just have sad lives? Are they four widows?
Speaker 2: Isn't this just the Golden Girls? What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Don't make this, Minny Cones said, And during the pandemic
Speaker 2: there was a round table with Octavia Spencer and Amy
Speaker 2: Poehler and Jennifer Aniston. They all said, yeah, our parents
Speaker 2: grew up with all the family, but we grew up
Speaker 2: with Facts of Life. That's the Norman Lear sitcom that
Speaker 2: we love. Well. Norman Lear heard that and he reached
Speaker 2: out to the main cast of Natalie Cohne. Lisa Welcher,
Speaker 2: who played Blair came fields as Tuty and Nancy McKeon,
Speaker 2: who Johnny Mack has a soft spot for, she played
Speaker 2: Joe Lea reached out to them, they hired a writer,
Speaker 2: they started meeting the revival over zoom. But what happened next,
Speaker 2: con says was not cute. One of the girls went
Speaker 2: behind our backs and tried to make a separate deal
Speaker 2: for a spinoff just for herself and devastated the rest
Speaker 2: of us. Okay, let's speculate. Who do you think it is?
Speaker 2: Do you think it was Blair? Do you think it
Speaker 2: was two Dy Do you think it was Joe hmm.
Speaker 2: I don't know what any of them have been doing since.
Speaker 2: Which one of them do you think double dealt the
Speaker 2: other three? On the podcast where Mindy Cone told the story,
Speaker 2: actor Michael Hitchcock was one of the guests. Hitchcock said,
Speaker 2: there's always a greedy bitch. Mindy Cohn replied, you know what,
Speaker 2: Michael Hitchcock, greedy bitch. She was a greedy bitch. I'll
Speaker 2: say it. She did not name names, but she did
Speaker 2: suggest that a scroll through her Instagram account would give
Speaker 2: a clue about which former cast mate she spends time
Speaker 2: with and with whom she does not. I'm tempted to
Speaker 2: whip out my phone right now, but I got a
Speaker 2: record the weekend, so I'm not gonna do it. You guys,
Speaker 2: do it and tell me in the Facebook group Daily
Speaker 2: Comedy News Podcast group who Mindy Cone interacts with on
Speaker 2: Instagram and who who she doesn't. Mindy said, a couple
Speaker 2: of people can't move past it, don't want to move
Speaker 2: past it. We're not as united. We were united for
Speaker 2: forty years over not talking about each other, not doing dirty,
Speaker 2: you know, all for one, one for all. All this
Speaker 2: kind of wreck that which is sad, really sad. Now
Speaker 2: I kind of want to see the four six year
Speaker 2: old women living together with their sad lives that didn't
Speaker 2: work out. Ugh, don't make the facts life. What are
Speaker 2: you doing? Vince Vaughn is set to become a majority
Speaker 2: stakeholder of the Pickaball team, the Coachella Valley Scorpions. No,
Speaker 2: it's not a slow news day. I'm just amused by
Speaker 2: the stories today. The Coachella Valley Scorpions were launched in May.
Speaker 2: They're one of twelve teams competing in the National Pickaball
Speaker 2: League's champions Pro League, which welcomes players fifty years old
Speaker 2: and above. So Vince Vaughn owns a senior league team
Speaker 2: pickleball team. Vince Vaughn said, I've always enjoyed the game,
Speaker 2: and in meeting co owner Kim jagged I was impressed
Speaker 2: with her not only as a player, but her passion
Speaker 2: and style of coaching. I'm excited to support her and
Speaker 2: the Scorpions on their journey. Kim Jaggs said, when you're
Speaker 2: on the court with Vince, you can feel his energy
Speaker 2: and excitement for pickleball. His involvement is an exciting development
Speaker 2: for the team and will help the Scorpions continue to
Speaker 2: build their brand both in Coachella Valley and in the
Speaker 2: broader southern California arena. Hey, guys, have you seen Welcome Torexham,
Speaker 2: Vince Vaughan pickleball? Do it? Film it? You know what?
Speaker 2: Give a piece of this team to Ryan Reynolds. That
Speaker 2: dude likes to hustle to the point where Kevin Hart
Speaker 2: is like, yo, we take a day off. Alison Reese
Speaker 2: getting some buzz for her Kamala Harris impression. Now, if
Speaker 2: you listen to the show every day, you know sometimes
Speaker 2: I'm a little tough on TikTok comedians. Let's see Alison
Speaker 2: Ree as Kamala Harris picking her VP. Let's listen who
Speaker 2: should be my VP?
Speaker 1: Oh bars Kay Barrack and he's never been Vie John
Speaker 1: Stuart White. People like him, Monopoly guy. People like money.
Speaker 1: They also like cartoons. I'd love to get Michelle. This
Speaker 1: is troubly busy writing a book or whatever, not Corey
Speaker 1: book or his cousin ru Paul.
Speaker 2: As I said earlier in the week, the impression is
Speaker 2: pretty good. Not sure the material is there, and I'm
Speaker 2: not sure that's going to get old or really quickly.
Speaker 2: But I've been wrong about such things, and I'm not
Speaker 2: from the TikTok generation. I don't understand it. I'm up
Speaker 2: here on old Man Mountain where I get excited about
Speaker 2: things like Dave Chappelle playing a concert tonight. He will
Speaker 2: feature rapper fifty Cents, known for the worst first pitch
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball history. The show's at nine PM.
Speaker 2: Tickets went on sale yesterday at noon. I told you
Speaker 2: about it as soon as I heard about it. I
Speaker 2: guarantee it's sold out, and he wouldn't let you bring
Speaker 2: your phone in anyway, So who cares? Sam Marillo talk
Speaker 2: to crackt No, there's nobody named Sam Marillo. It's Sam Morrill.
Speaker 2: But my talkument has corrected it to say Sam Marillo,
Speaker 2: and I just read it. No, Sam Marillo. I don't
Speaker 2: know what Sam Marirello is doing. Let's google who's Sam Marrillo.
Speaker 2: You can tell him loose today because they just did
Speaker 2: ninety minutes with Mike on the Letterman podcast. Let's see,
Speaker 2: this is a guy named Sam Marillo who has an
Speaker 2: Instagram account. There's a guy who's a news producer at NBC.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to click on Samarillo dot com, which
Speaker 2: says Sammarillo hair, and a click on Samarillo dot com
Speaker 2: tells us the hair you always wanted, with the confidence
Speaker 2: you always deserve. Let's click on about Sam. Sam says
Speaker 2: while most stylists offer a great first service, I see
Speaker 2: my role as a stylist a little differently. When I'm
Speaker 2: not in the salon suite, I'm more than likely with
Speaker 2: my husband and son enjoying some quality time. All Right,
Speaker 2: I have quite aggressed. Let's not talk about Sam Mariillo.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about comedian Sam Morrell, who talked to Crack
Speaker 2: and shared that I interned on the Colbert Report back
Speaker 2: in the day. He was crushing at that point. It
Speaker 2: was cool to see somebody in that zone. It was
Speaker 2: a very different type of comedy. He was doing a character.
Speaker 2: It was also a well oiled machine of a TV show.
Speaker 2: Sam explained the flow of a comedy act and said,
Speaker 2: there's a reason you can't tell certain jokes at certain places.
Speaker 2: I can't open on an abortion joke. I can't open
Speaker 2: on a really dark premise. You have to earn it,
Speaker 2: just like in a friendship or life. That's why it's
Speaker 2: easier now for me to do stand up because the
Speaker 2: audience that comes out usually trust me. But then you're
Speaker 2: pushing it even further. Even now, I still need to
Speaker 2: put a dark joke later in my set. And no
Speaker 2: matter what, I call them hard to follow jokes. A
Speaker 2: lot of comics get off on being like I said it.
Speaker 2: But anyone can say it, you have to say it cleverly.
Speaker 2: That's literally the job to make it funny. There's an
Speaker 2: obsession now with being shocking for the sake of being shocking,
Speaker 2: And sometimes people will show me someone and they'll think
Speaker 2: I'll find it funny because it's edgy in their mind.
Speaker 2: But you know, I like clean comedy. I like good comedy,
Speaker 2: darker light. I don't give a whot People get a
Speaker 2: little too caught up and what is taboo rather than
Speaker 2: what's funny. Continuing with today's theme of doing stories that
Speaker 2: are amusing to me, from the Johnson County Post, your
Speaker 2: home for comedy news, the headline KC comedian starts a
Speaker 2: new endeavor with Johnson County food truck. That's right, Jake
Speaker 2: Triplett's publicist would win Publicists of the Day. But I'm
Speaker 2: winning Publicists of the Day for my eighty ninety one
Speaker 2: and it's on the Letterman podcast, available wherever you get
Speaker 2: your shows. But Jake Triplett plans to open his Bondai
Speaker 2: Bulls food truck later this year. This is why this
Speaker 2: publicist deserves a raise. The food truck's not even out yet.
Speaker 2: It's coming out later this year. We're told. Between touring
Speaker 2: as a stand up comedian, podcasting, and creating YouTube content,
Speaker 2: Jake Triplett is used to giving people a laugh. With
Speaker 2: his newest business endeavor, He's hoping to make people smile,
Speaker 2: albeit in a different way, by handing them a fruity treat. Now,
Speaker 2: if you don't think this pulsit deserves a raise. The
Speaker 2: details of the story tell us. While an exact address
Speaker 2: for the food truck has not been pinned down yet,
Speaker 2: Triplet hopes to open the Bondai Bulls by late summer
Speaker 2: or early fall. Once it opens, it'll likely operate from
Speaker 2: eight to eight daily. Okse you're curious. Customers can create
Speaker 2: their own bulls or smoothies. You can add a vast
Speaker 2: range of toppings. Those toppings include blueberries, chia seeds, and
Speaker 2: homemade vegan granola. The bulls are vegan, gluten free, dairy free,
Speaker 2: and sugar free. You can also get other items like
Speaker 2: frozen lemonade, shaved ice, and granola power balls. It's not
Speaker 2: a slow news day. I've actually bounced stories already from today.
Speaker 2: I'm just amusing myself. Triplet is a self described smoothie
Speaker 2: bowl enthusiast. He says it's a growing industry. I like
Speaker 2: them so much, I just thought what if I made
Speaker 2: my own. By the way, if you're in Johnson County,
Speaker 2: they point out new healthy eatery Bonsai Bowl has opened
Speaker 2: up in Overland Park. A new exhibit at the Catskills
Speaker 2: Borsch Belt Museum in Ellenville, New York. This weekend. It's
Speaker 2: Borsch Belt Fest Tonight through Sunday, with heaping portions of
Speaker 2: nostalgia and comedy, music and panel talks at several locations
Speaker 2: throughout Ellenville, which is not too far from New York
Speaker 2: City nor my house. I don't think I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 2: I'm back and forth. I kind of want to go
Speaker 2: see Van Hagar. You know what I mean, if you're
Speaker 2: paying attention. If not, it doesn't matter. On Saturday night.
Speaker 2: I also kind of want to go to the beach.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I want to do this weekend,
Speaker 2: so I'm probably not gonna make the borsch belt Fest,
Speaker 2: which is an annual event maybe all by next year,
Speaker 2: produced by the museum, which bills itself as dedicated to
Speaker 2: preserving the legacy of the Borsch Belt resort area. In
Speaker 2: addition to street fair vendors, Hey, maybe they'd be a
Speaker 2: guy with a smoothie trek who knows food, trucks and artisans.
Speaker 2: They'll be all sorts of events and discussions, including a
Speaker 2: game of Simon Says and a screening of Dirty Dancing.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I find this story is so
Speaker 2: funny today Today's silly. So yeah, you know, if you
