00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,160
comedy news. Guy Fieri has a new show. It's called

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,839
Guy's Feast Club. Why are we talking about this John

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,719
because he's got some comedians on it, including Andrew Santino

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,320
and Bert Krascher. Before episode series Guys Feast Club will

6
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:31,039
include guests feasting on dishes like Tomahawk Ribbi sandwiches while

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,320
chatting with the Food Network chef. There's a trailer he

8
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,600
introduces his guests, whom he calls the most talented people

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,759
on the planet, including Bert Kreischer. Guy asks the guests

10
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:44,960
what they would like to eat. Andrew Santino says Italian

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,439
food would be nice. Bobby Lee says Korean. Guy explains

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,399
the show, I find out what they're craving, I go

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,719
get it. We sit down and what happens next is

14
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:56,479
anybody's guests. So in the four episodes, there's an Italian

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,000
least with Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino, a Tomahawk Ribbi

16
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:02,960
sandwich with Bert Krascher, and then the other guests are

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,519
Tony Hawk and somebody else. Sounds very exciting, doesn't it.

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,040
Adam Ray is getting a cheap television show on Netflix. Now,

19
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:12,599
the people at Netflix are mistaken. They think this is

20
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:15,040
a podcast because they don't understand what a podcast is.

21
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,879
It's actually an inexpensively produced television show that they're airing

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,599
on Netflix under the column that says podcast. But this

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,200
is in no way a podcast. But what is it? John?

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,760
It is called Adam Ray Doctor Phil Live. The cheaply

25
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:33,159
produced television show will debut on Netflix June nineteenth. That's

26
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:35,959
coming up with four episodes. Michael Boobley the first guest,

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,840
then Dave Matthews, Niki Lazer, Oh Boy, and Andrew Santino.

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,560
Future guests include Hassan Minhaj, Jelly Roll, Marshaun Lynch, John Schneider,

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920
and Mike McDonald. Know not John Schneider from The Dukes

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,280
of Hazzard, I don't think it's the general manager and

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,359
head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Joel mchel Mark Normand

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,000
Ray's mother, the Google Dolls, and more. Adam Ray will

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,959
engage in quote deep dive converse with the guests, but

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,439
not always as himself. He'll drift into improvised characters, including

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,360
Doctor Phil. Meanwhile, Days of Our Lives has taken John

36
00:02:08,439 --> 00:02:12,080
Oliver up on his offer. According to The Daily Mail,

37
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,080
John Oliver has started taping a role on Days of

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Our Lives, with the part reportedly written specifically for him.

39
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,919
The Daily Mail calls the role whacky now. Back in March,

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,159
John Oliver closed an episode of Last Week Tonight with

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,439
a tribute to the pleasures of daytime soaps. During that segment,

42
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:32,680
he said, I'm officially offering myself to you. Write me

43
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:34,400
your role, and I'll be on your set so fast

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,800
that it'll make your head spin. He did have conditions.

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,639
He does not want to play himself. He wanted the

46
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:41,240
character to have a ridiculous name, and he wanted something

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,879
quote unquote juicy, preferably involving murder or slapping or being

48
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,479
slapped or being someone's long lost something. He also requested

49
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:52,360
a dramatic close up. Variety had ten questions from Mark Maren.

50
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:55,560
Mark childhood nickname, Mark said drink p In fifth grade

51
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:57,840
at stickball, my coach used to call me Hank Maren,

52
00:02:57,879 --> 00:02:59,719
which was pretty good because I hit a couple homers.

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,240
I wouldn't say I was doing it all the time,

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,280
but I don't remember too many nicknames other than just

55
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:05,840
my last name. All right, Mark, something you loved as

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,520
a kid, but can't believe you were into it now.

57
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,199
Mark said I was pretty involved with cocoa pebbles. You

58
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:12,159
didn't expect him to say that. I don't feel ashamed

59
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:13,759
about it, but I try to eat them recently. It's

60
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,360
not the same. His go to karaoke song is Bob

61
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:21,120
Dylan's Going Going Gone. He also does Taylor Swift's Bigger

62
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:24,360
Than the Whole Sky, which is in his recent special.

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,360
Some of the other questions, they're not all interesting. Secret talent.

64
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,400
I can cook and I can play. Harmonica favorite ice

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,759
cream flavor Ben and Jerry still makes pretty good vegan

66
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,800
ice cream, the chocolate fudge brown he's good. The vegan

67
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:36,280
Jerry cherry garcilla is good. Vegan fish food is good.

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,960
I like things with caramel and them too. One thing

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,840
Mark Maren couldn't live with out his glasses what TV

70
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:43,240
showed as he wished he could have been on the

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,039
cast Mary Tyler Moore to work with Ed Asner at

72
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:47,800
that point. How funny wuld that had been the whole crew?

73
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,439
Oh my god, it's so funny. Favorite piece of advice,

74
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:52,240
Mark Maren. I remember one time when I was talking

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,759
to an editor about a book, and I was kind

76
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:55,960
of panicking, so I go, but it's going to be okay, right,

77
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,319
and he said, yeah, we're not. I think it's as

78
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,840
honest as you could be. No, Oswalt, what aspirations do

79
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:04,280
you have now as an actor, now that you've ruined

80
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Star Trek and you can ruin other things? Patten said,

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,599
I want to keep acting in movies, obviously, and then

82
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,759
I want to write and direct. I've always been kind

83
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:13,000
of fascinated by the kind of low stakes, low life

84
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:16,480
crime world. That's something that's always drawn me in New topic. Hey,

85
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:19,240
Pat and Oswalt and your specials, what's the balance between

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,040
topical and observational comedy? Does that change over time? Patten said,

87
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:25,399
it fluctuates each special. I just do a snapshot of

88
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:26,920
me reacting to the world at that time. I'm not

89
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:28,680
trying to do anything beyond that. I'm trying to capture

90
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,319
that moment, how it feels. He talked about the week

91
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,560
when we went to the Moon and started a war.

92
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:36,279
Pat said, it's weird how we're at the extremes of

93
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:38,319
our highs and lows right now. It's insane. Humans have

94
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:40,160
been the furthest they've ever been away from this planet,

95
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,319
and they're poets. They're sending down these beautiful transmissions, and

96
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,560
then we have a guy on the ground is saying,

97
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,680
I'm going to wipe out a civilization. I don't know

98
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,360
our minds are going to keep both of those together,

99
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:50,199
but we'll see. He talked about he is feeling of

100
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,439
the current direction of America, and he said, I think

101
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,319
it's gonna take a generation. I don't think we've got

102
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,240
to throw a switch and go back. We're so far

103
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,439
down this road. There are many people like if I

104
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,759
can't have this level of cruelty and pet I'd rather

105
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:03,600
the world burn down. That's a level of nihilism that

106
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,399
we're going to have to work through. Send your letters

107
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:08,240
to Paton Oswalt, Star trek Ruiner. Folks at fort Worth

108
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,199
dot com went to see Nate Burghetzi. They say the

109
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,519
electric atmosphere was evident at the three o'clock performance Three

110
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,240
o'clock Wow. Due to heavy traffic and late arriving patrons,

111
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,040
the show began about thirty minutes late. Julian McCullough served

112
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,480
as both MC and opening acts, warming up the crowd.

113
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:29,240
Fellow comedians Mike Vickione and Greg Warren followed with sets

114
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,839
Greg Warren mind humor from dating, missaps, and social awkwardness.

115
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
All three comics frequently engaged audience members, et cetera, et cetera.

116
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,360
This was a Netflix taping in the afternoon that started

117
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,240
thirty minutes late, which told crane mounted cameras glided across

118
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,560
the arena floor to capture Burghetzi's Theater in the Round presentation,

119
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,439
while a rotating overhead camera recorded audience reactions minor joke spoilers,

120
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,959
whether wondering how many chickens could fit inside a horse

121
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720
or admitting that he blindly accepts every website's cookie policy

122
00:05:57,759 --> 00:05:59,399
because he has no idea what any of it means.

123
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:04,240
He consistently found humor in ordinary situations. Jeff Foxworthy explained

124
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,600
comedy math to NPR sixty minutes of Comedy for Special

125
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:11,079
Equals a year on stage, Jeff Foxworthy said, I guess

126
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:13,360
was nineteen eighty four and Jay Leno was probably the

127
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:14,879
King of the Road comics, and he said, your goal

128
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,519
should be to write one new minute a week, and

129
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,279
I remember sitting there going to eat crazy. A week,

130
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:20,680
I can write twenty new minutes, and I found out

131
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,720
over time. He was exactly right. It's hard. It's trying

132
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,959
to find a thing that's going to make a room

133
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,519
full of strangers laugh every time you say it. Jeff

134
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:29,480
talked about working political or not. I had a lot

135
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:31,360
of friends that did political stuff, and half the room

136
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,120
hates you. My goal was to make as many people

137
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,240
laugh as I could. And because a I really believe

138
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,920
if you took people from different sides of the political spectrum,

139
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:39,480
they could peg one side or the other, and you

140
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:41,199
sat down with them and you said, what do you

141
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,000
want out of life? Would probably agree on eighty five

142
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,600
percent of things, But instead of celebrating that eighty five percent,

143
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,759
what we chose to do was scream and throw things

144
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:49,680
at each other for the fifteen percent that were different.

145
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:51,959
One of the coolest things about Stand Up for me

146
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:53,759
was before I did it, I hadn't been anywhere. I've

147
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:55,199
never been out of the South. And now I've been

148
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:57,800
in all fifty states and almost every part of all

149
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,199
fifty states, and you realize, yeah, the accents changed, the

150
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,800
scenery changes, but people are people. That's the part I

151
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,920
choose to go after with comedy. Jeff, will this be

152
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,639
your last special? I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure

153
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,839
I'm more content and more at peace, and now at

154
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:11,040
this point in my life, I'm like, you know what,

155
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:12,879
if I got a spare Wednesday evening, I don't want

156
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:14,439
to be in a club with no cards in my hands.

157
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:16,519
I'd rather be laying on the bed reading to my grandkids.

158
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,360
It's not because I didn't love this thing. It's because

159
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,319
I love other things too. You may recall Bill Engvall

160
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:24,519
retired and then unretired, so we will see. Jeff Foxworthy

161
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,319
is sixty seven. Guy Brainham Toldnuvau dot Nett. When I started,

162
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:31,560
stand up comedy was something that was done eighty five

163
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000
percent by heterosexual men. When people showed up at a

164
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,079
comedy show at a random comedy venue, they assumed a

165
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,639
really specific perspective, and if they weren't getting that, they

166
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:42,439
were shocked and surprised. The change that happened in stand

167
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,959
up comedy in America is not a change to that

168
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,040
because of the raw, amazing talent of a greater diversity

169
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,319
of stand up comedians. It's a change that happened because

170
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,800
audience has changed, because women showed up to shows not

171
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:54,079
wanting to be humiliated and insulted. Because queer people realized

172
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,519
it was a space they could show up to and

173
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,639
not always be the butt of the joke. You can't

174
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160
deny that gay comedy was unusual when I started, No

175
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:02,959
successful gay male stand up comics, even recently as six

176
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040
or seven years ago. Now you have Matteo Lane, Caleb

177
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,560
heern An. Its higher generation of people have been able

178
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,040
to build that. What Matteo has is in so many

179
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,240
ways because of YouTube and Instagram stuff he did on

180
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,680
his own terms. What Caleb achieved is because of TikTok

181
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,319
and his podcast. I think we're at this really interesting

182
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:19,959
moment entertainment where a consolidation of the gatekeepers has given

183
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,079
a small number of corporations what they believe is a

184
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,319
whole lot of power, but because they're not using it

185
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,480
in ways that are reflect other times, they could very

186
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,759
easily lose that power to other institutions that aren't gatekeeping

187
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:33,679
as Hard and Toronto has the series Tragedy Plus Time.

188
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:38,039
They caught up with Ashwan Singh, a Toronto comedian, seeing

189
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,440
discusses topics like immigration, religion, and social hypocrisy, and splits

190
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,080
his time between Toronto and Deli influences. Good List here

191
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,480
George Carlin, Patris o' neil, Doug Stanhope, Dave Chappelle, Taylor Thompson,

192
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,120
Michelle Wolfe, and some others. Favorite comedian growing up, Carlin.

193
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,279
Always love that answer. Favorite comedian now depends on the day,

194
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,039
