Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily
comedy news. Guy Fieri has a new show. It's called
Guy's Feast Club. Why are we talking about this John
because he's got some comedians on it, including Andrew Santino
and Bert Krascher. Before episode series Guys Feast Club will
include guests feasting on dishes like Tomahawk Ribbi sandwiches while
chatting with the Food Network chef. There's a trailer he
introduces his guests, whom he calls the most talented people
on the planet, including Bert Kreischer. Guy asks the guests
what they would like to eat. Andrew Santino says Italian
food would be nice. Bobby Lee says Korean. Guy explains
the show, I find out what they're craving, I go
get it. We sit down and what happens next is
anybody's guests. So in the four episodes, there's an Italian
least with Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino, a Tomahawk Ribbi
sandwich with Bert Krascher, and then the other guests are
Tony Hawk and somebody else. Sounds very exciting, doesn't it.
Adam Ray is getting a cheap television show on Netflix. Now,
the people at Netflix are mistaken. They think this is
a podcast because they don't understand what a podcast is.
It's actually an inexpensively produced television show that they're airing
on Netflix under the column that says podcast. But this
is in no way a podcast. But what is it? John?
It is called Adam Ray Doctor Phil Live. The cheaply
produced television show will debut on Netflix June nineteenth. That's
coming up with four episodes. Michael Boobley the first guest,
then Dave Matthews, Niki Lazer, Oh Boy, and Andrew Santino.
Future guests include Hassan Minhaj, Jelly Roll, Marshaun Lynch, John Schneider,
and Mike McDonald. Know not John Schneider from The Dukes
of Hazzard, I don't think it's the general manager and
head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Joel mchel Mark Normand
Ray's mother, the Google Dolls, and more. Adam Ray will
engage in quote deep dive converse with the guests, but
not always as himself. He'll drift into improvised characters, including
Doctor Phil. Meanwhile, Days of Our Lives has taken John
Oliver up on his offer. According to The Daily Mail,
John Oliver has started taping a role on Days of
Our Lives, with the part reportedly written specifically for him.
The Daily Mail calls the role whacky now. Back in March,
John Oliver closed an episode of Last Week Tonight with
a tribute to the pleasures of daytime soaps. During that segment,
he said, I'm officially offering myself to you. Write me
your role, and I'll be on your set so fast
that it'll make your head spin. He did have conditions.
He does not want to play himself. He wanted the
character to have a ridiculous name, and he wanted something
quote unquote juicy, preferably involving murder or slapping or being
slapped or being someone's long lost something. He also requested
a dramatic close up. Variety had ten questions from Mark Maren.
Mark childhood nickname, Mark said drink p In fifth grade
at stickball, my coach used to call me Hank Maren,
which was pretty good because I hit a couple homers.
I wouldn't say I was doing it all the time,
but I don't remember too many nicknames other than just
my last name. All right, Mark, something you loved as
a kid, but can't believe you were into it now.
Mark said I was pretty involved with cocoa pebbles. You
didn't expect him to say that. I don't feel ashamed
about it, but I try to eat them recently. It's
not the same. His go to karaoke song is Bob
Dylan's Going Going Gone. He also does Taylor Swift's Bigger
Than the Whole Sky, which is in his recent special.
Some of the other questions, they're not all interesting. Secret talent.
I can cook and I can play. Harmonica favorite ice
cream flavor Ben and Jerry still makes pretty good vegan
ice cream, the chocolate fudge brown he's good. The vegan
Jerry cherry garcilla is good. Vegan fish food is good.
I like things with caramel and them too. One thing
Mark Maren couldn't live with out his glasses what TV
showed as he wished he could have been on the
cast Mary Tyler Moore to work with Ed Asner at
that point. How funny wuld that had been the whole crew?
Oh my god, it's so funny. Favorite piece of advice,
Mark Maren. I remember one time when I was talking
to an editor about a book, and I was kind
of panicking, so I go, but it's going to be okay, right,
and he said, yeah, we're not. I think it's as
honest as you could be. No, Oswalt, what aspirations do
you have now as an actor, now that you've ruined
Star Trek and you can ruin other things? Patten said,
I want to keep acting in movies, obviously, and then
I want to write and direct. I've always been kind
of fascinated by the kind of low stakes, low life
crime world. That's something that's always drawn me in New topic. Hey,
Pat and Oswalt and your specials, what's the balance between
topical and observational comedy? Does that change over time? Patten said,
it fluctuates each special. I just do a snapshot of
me reacting to the world at that time. I'm not
trying to do anything beyond that. I'm trying to capture
that moment, how it feels. He talked about the week
when we went to the Moon and started a war.
Pat said, it's weird how we're at the extremes of
our highs and lows right now. It's insane. Humans have
been the furthest they've ever been away from this planet,
and they're poets. They're sending down these beautiful transmissions, and
then we have a guy on the ground is saying,
I'm going to wipe out a civilization. I don't know
our minds are going to keep both of those together,
but we'll see. He talked about he is feeling of
the current direction of America, and he said, I think
it's gonna take a generation. I don't think we've got
to throw a switch and go back. We're so far
down this road. There are many people like if I
can't have this level of cruelty and pet I'd rather
the world burn down. That's a level of nihilism that
we're going to have to work through. Send your letters
to Paton Oswalt, Star trek Ruiner. Folks at fort Worth
dot com went to see Nate Burghetzi. They say the
electric atmosphere was evident at the three o'clock performance Three
o'clock Wow. Due to heavy traffic and late arriving patrons,
the show began about thirty minutes late. Julian McCullough served
as both MC and opening acts, warming up the crowd.
Fellow comedians Mike Vickione and Greg Warren followed with sets
Greg Warren mind humor from dating, missaps, and social awkwardness.
All three comics frequently engaged audience members, et cetera, et cetera.
This was a Netflix taping in the afternoon that started
thirty minutes late, which told crane mounted cameras glided across
the arena floor to capture Burghetzi's Theater in the Round presentation,
while a rotating overhead camera recorded audience reactions minor joke spoilers,
whether wondering how many chickens could fit inside a horse
or admitting that he blindly accepts every website's cookie policy
because he has no idea what any of it means.
He consistently found humor in ordinary situations. Jeff Foxworthy explained
comedy math to NPR sixty minutes of Comedy for Special
Equals a year on stage, Jeff Foxworthy said, I guess
was nineteen eighty four and Jay Leno was probably the
King of the Road comics, and he said, your goal
should be to write one new minute a week, and
I remember sitting there going to eat crazy. A week,
I can write twenty new minutes, and I found out
over time. He was exactly right. It's hard. It's trying
to find a thing that's going to make a room
full of strangers laugh every time you say it. Jeff
talked about working political or not. I had a lot
of friends that did political stuff, and half the room
hates you. My goal was to make as many people
laugh as I could. And because a I really believe
if you took people from different sides of the political spectrum,
they could peg one side or the other, and you
sat down with them and you said, what do you
want out of life? Would probably agree on eighty five
percent of things, But instead of celebrating that eighty five percent,
what we chose to do was scream and throw things
at each other for the fifteen percent that were different.
One of the coolest things about Stand Up for me
was before I did it, I hadn't been anywhere. I've
never been out of the South. And now I've been
in all fifty states and almost every part of all
fifty states, and you realize, yeah, the accents changed, the
scenery changes, but people are people. That's the part I
choose to go after with comedy. Jeff, will this be
your last special? I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure
I'm more content and more at peace, and now at
this point in my life, I'm like, you know what,
if I got a spare Wednesday evening, I don't want
to be in a club with no cards in my hands.
I'd rather be laying on the bed reading to my grandkids.
It's not because I didn't love this thing. It's because
I love other things too. You may recall Bill Engvall
retired and then unretired, so we will see. Jeff Foxworthy
is sixty seven. Guy Brainham Toldnuvau dot Nett. When I started,
stand up comedy was something that was done eighty five
percent by heterosexual men. When people showed up at a
comedy show at a random comedy venue, they assumed a
really specific perspective, and if they weren't getting that, they
were shocked and surprised. The change that happened in stand
up comedy in America is not a change to that
because of the raw, amazing talent of a greater diversity
of stand up comedians. It's a change that happened because
audience has changed, because women showed up to shows not
wanting to be humiliated and insulted. Because queer people realized
it was a space they could show up to and
not always be the butt of the joke. You can't
deny that gay comedy was unusual when I started, No
successful gay male stand up comics, even recently as six
or seven years ago. Now you have Matteo Lane, Caleb
heern An. Its higher generation of people have been able
to build that. What Matteo has is in so many
ways because of YouTube and Instagram stuff he did on
his own terms. What Caleb achieved is because of TikTok
and his podcast. I think we're at this really interesting
moment entertainment where a consolidation of the gatekeepers has given
a small number of corporations what they believe is a
whole lot of power, but because they're not using it
in ways that are reflect other times, they could very
easily lose that power to other institutions that aren't gatekeeping
as Hard and Toronto has the series Tragedy Plus Time.
They caught up with Ashwan Singh, a Toronto comedian, seeing
discusses topics like immigration, religion, and social hypocrisy, and splits
his time between Toronto and Deli influences. Good List here
George Carlin, Patris o' neil, Doug Stanhope, Dave Chappelle, Taylor Thompson,
Michelle Wolfe, and some others. Favorite comedian growing up, Carlin.
Always love that answer. Favorite comedian now depends on the day,
but probably still Carlin. And that is your comedy news
for today. It is June. So you're sharing the show, right.
I forgot to bother you about that on Friday. You're
sharing the show. You're telling people, right, You're like, Hey,

gonna do is you're gonna hit You have a phone
in your hand right now, right, push the share button
