Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Tenny Man, I hear if your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Jimmy Fallon watched Biden's speech and said
Speaker 1: it was a very graceful speech, and then Biden surprised
Speaker 1: everyone by announcing his candidacy for twenty twenty eight. Cope
Speaker 1: Bears said Trump has had a lot of crazy stuff,
Speaker 1: but there's an explanation for that. He's crazy. Jimmy Fallon again,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw. Milania is putting out
Speaker 1: a tell All book. We'll see how tell All it's
Speaker 1: going to be. He said. At Malani's request, her book
Speaker 1: and Trump's book will be in the same store, but
Speaker 1: sold in separate sections. Cracked with the headline comedy has
Speaker 1: a Netflix problem. Netflix is a joke, but for all
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons. All right, Matt Solomon, what's your premise here?
Speaker 1: He quoted Neil Brennan appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience.
Speaker 1: I'm competing with everything that's ever been made. Is my
Speaker 1: new special better than The Godfather and every comedy special?
Speaker 1: Rogan said, yep, all the old stuff, all the new stuff,
Speaker 1: everything altogether. It's an insane time. Try to captivate people's attention. Now,
Speaker 1: it's an insane proposition. There's just so much available. Krack
Speaker 1: took this premise. The biggest conundrum Netflix poses for comedy
Speaker 1: is the same one that Laurene Michaels has at SNL,
Speaker 1: embracing controversial comics and broiled and public scandal. Shane Gillis
Speaker 1: tells homophobic, racist, and sexist jokes on podcasts. NBC kicks
Speaker 1: them off, but Michaels will sponsor his triumphant return, all
Speaker 1: in the name of social relevancy. Netflix is even worse.
Speaker 1: Sure it produces pro LGBTQ plus documentaries, It's right there
Speaker 1: in your comedy que next to transphobic specialist from Dave
Speaker 1: Chappelle and Ricky Gervais. Where does Netflix stand? Wherever it
Speaker 1: can to drive cultural conversation, even if that means playing
Speaker 1: both sides of the culture wars. Robbie Prau, who runs
Speaker 1: Netflix Comedy, says, some people's favorite thing to do on
Speaker 1: a Saturday night maybe to watch a Dave Chappelle special.
Speaker 1: But for some people it may be Taylor Tomlinson or
Speaker 1: Mae Martin, where Sarah Silverman or John Mullaney or Chris
Speaker 1: Rock And we don't want to block those choices for
Speaker 1: our members. Cracked Rights. May be a subscriber hasn't jumped
Speaker 1: on the service for a while, but what the heck.
Speaker 1: They're probably curious why everyone is soap mad at Matt
Speaker 1: Rife or Thom Segor or Rob Schneider. It's a natural
Speaker 1: desire to see what all the fuss is about, as
Speaker 1: it's turning out Netflix as a joke, but for all
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons. I don't agree with the premise of
Speaker 1: the article. First of all, Netflix is a commercial enterprise.
Speaker 1: They're going to put on the most popular stuff. If
Speaker 1: comedian X is popular, they'll get a Netflix special. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess at some point something would be so extreme
Speaker 1: that Netflix or a different streamer would be like, we
Speaker 1: don't want to sponsor the I don't know, horrible thing.
Speaker 1: You can imagine comedy tour. You know, at some point
Speaker 1: there's a line. And maybe I'm just living here on
Speaker 1: Old Man Mountain or White Dude Mountain. I look at
Speaker 1: the Netflix offerings and I think it's pretty broad. And again,
Speaker 1: you don't have to watch these things. Is Netflix putting
Speaker 1: in front of you? Probably possibly, I don't know. If
Speaker 1: I go to your house, I don't think they surface
Speaker 1: the same things that you see if you log in
Speaker 1: as me. I know, sometimes I log in as a
Speaker 1: different family member and they have like a whole different
Speaker 1: list of shows. I didn't even know exist. Who knows
Speaker 1: Dean Cook played the Zombie Montreal Comedy Festival last night.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that show he did last night was free,
Speaker 1: just like the one tonight for Eliza's Lessenger. She's there tonight.
Speaker 1: You can see it for free at the Place Day Festivals,
Speaker 1: which is how I was pronounced in French. Dane Cook
Speaker 1: told the Montreal Gazeze there's no better feeling in the
Speaker 1: world than sharing a career, especially one in the third decade.
Speaker 1: You could be outrageous. He probably got dragged a few
Speaker 1: times because it was sensational and it was fun for
Speaker 1: the media to do that. You start flying steady, but
Speaker 1: lo and behold, I fall in love And not only
Speaker 1: is it a love story, but it's one where I
Speaker 1: truly want to share the rest of my life and
Speaker 1: the rest of my journey with this woman. And I
Speaker 1: hope that feeling is mutual. Dane no longer feels like
Speaker 1: he has something to prove. He says, I think at
Speaker 1: some point I turned a corner from all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I found myself to be a friend, to be in
Speaker 1: kind of a mentor position, be it at a club
Speaker 1: or speaking on the seminar circuit about my philosophy, and
Speaker 1: certainly the things that helped me keep my integrity during
Speaker 1: every which way. Now I get to be a sounding
Speaker 1: board for someone who was maybe where I was when
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: people who try to take you someplace you don't want
Speaker 1: to go. Feels great to give sports others. That's what
Speaker 1: keeps me going these days. Also, I have a fire
Speaker 1: still raching creatively inside of me. I'm tenacious when I
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, I have an agenda I
Speaker 1: want to see through. But the big difference is that
Speaker 1: now I want to share all of that with my wife.
Speaker 1: It's nice to be in this place. I think it's
Speaker 1: time for the Danisades. Let's get a major Dean Cook comeback.
Speaker 1: That'd be great. Chad Daniels just had his Netflix special
Speaker 1: Empty Nester. He now stars in a new peda video
Speaker 1: with a fellow comedian, Kelsey Cook, who is also his partner.
Speaker 1: They imagine a world in which humans are treated like
Speaker 1: outdoor cats and remind viewers of the video that life threatening,
Speaker 1: dangerous two outdoor cats are no laughing matter. In the video,
Speaker 1: Chad Daniels is shoot outside by cook. I love to
Speaker 1: fend for himself in the not so great outdoors. In character,
Speaker 1: he says, do you have any idea how many diseases
Speaker 1: I can get out here? Hookworms, ringworm, reebe's ticks, toxoplasmosis,
Speaker 1: and some other words I can't pronounce. I'm gonna catch
Speaker 1: something I can't even pronounce. Oh, that's funny. I didn't
Speaker 1: read that. Next sent it's ahead. There were two words
Speaker 1: here like pasteur relosis. I might have got that in Campbell.
Speaker 1: How do you pronounce camp Why? All right? La la
Speaker 1: la l? Is that even a word? That's like an
Speaker 1: lol lol? Anyway, Daniel says in the videos ear mites
Speaker 1: feline herpes virus. If I get herpes, because if you,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be angry. This is what he says. Peta
Speaker 1: points out that, in addition to terrorizing, maiming, and killing
Speaker 1: billions of birds and other small animals, every year, cats
Speaker 1: allowed to roam out doors or at risk of ingesting poison,
Speaker 1: contracting fatal diseases and enduring violence and abuse at the
Speaker 1: hands of cruel people, being attacked by predators, being hit
Speaker 1: by cars, or falling victim to many other dangers. Chad
Speaker 1: Daniels in the video and character says, if I live
Speaker 1: inside my left expectancy is twelve to twenty years. But
Speaker 1: you leave me out here, I'm not gonna make it
Speaker 1: to my fifth birthday. Daniels and Cook join a long
Speaker 1: list of comedians including Mark Marinkathy Griffin, Nikki Glazer, Sarah Silverman,
Speaker 1: and Ricky Gervais, Amanda Seals, and Bill Maher who have
Speaker 1: teamed up with Peta to promote kindness to animals. Tig
Speaker 1: Nataro talked about her twenty thirteen album. Tignataro told Vulture
Speaker 1: of that album, it was a gut punch to get
Speaker 1: when I was in the depth of my grief losing
Speaker 1: my mother death was very unexpected to lose your mother
Speaker 1: and then two days later get a survey asking how
Speaker 1: your stay in the hospital went. I was so mad.
Speaker 1: I was deeply, deeply upset. I really can't listen to
Speaker 1: live the name of that album now because people think
Speaker 1: it was such a hard period of time for me,
Speaker 1: But it's more so that it was like a twenty
Speaker 1: or thirty minute open mic. When I was doing interviews,
Speaker 1: they would do lead ins with my material and I'd
Speaker 1: take my headphones off and the interviewers would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it must be hard, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: it's that it's not polished at all. I'm glad people
Speaker 1: enjoy it, but I don't want to hear this. I
Speaker 1: remember that night. I was shocked that I was getting
Speaker 1: laughs because I was so truly down and out. I
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of faith in my ability to
Speaker 1: make any of that funny, or faith in anything truly.
Speaker 1: My pants were falling off, my underwear was falling off.
Speaker 1: I was malnourished. I was so sick. I was struggling.
Speaker 1: I was devastated. John, you just did stories about, you know,
Speaker 1: taking a sad place and a cat being killed in
Speaker 1: the street, back to back. This show's not much fun today.
Speaker 1: Can you pull it out before the break? I will
Speaker 1: see what Sam Morrill has for us. Deadline asked Sam
Speaker 1: about his podcast he does with Mark Norman, called We
Speaker 1: Might be Drunk. The question what has pop casting done
Speaker 1: for your career? Sam said, it's helped my reaching my audience,
Speaker 1: but it's hurt my stand up. I'd really love to
Speaker 1: never podcast again if I could. I do feel pressure
Speaker 1: to do them because everyone's doing them, and I've had
Speaker 1: people tell me I'm crazy to feel this way, but
Speaker 1: I do feel people will forget me and move on.
Speaker 1: And maybe that's the case, maybe not. But I didn't
Speaker 1: get in a comedy beat a radio type guy. That's funny.
Speaker 1: I didn't get in a radio to be a comedy
Speaker 1: type guy. We're like opposite Sam. I want to write
Speaker 1: screenplay as an act, not be an actor, but acted
Speaker 1: my stuff, and I want to make movies and TV shows.
Speaker 1: Stand up is number one, but those are two and three,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do it one way or another. It's
Speaker 1: going to happen. It might take another couple of years.
Speaker 1: I have stuff in the work. So I wrote a
Speaker 1: movie with Mark We're Shopping that I think it's really funny.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a throwback nineties buddy comedy. Two good Friends,
Speaker 1: It Can't Catch a Break, Two liquor Salesmen. There was
Speaker 1: a sitcom I was developing, and I'm working on the
Speaker 1: pilot for that now. I've had this one in the
Speaker 1: Q all week. Larry the Cable Guy a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: I will truly call him a friend, not just somebody
Speaker 1: I know, and a really cool person. He's got a
Speaker 1: Larry TheCable Guy dot shop Official merchant. I haven't looked
Speaker 1: at this yet. I'm like, let me click on it.
Speaker 1: See what he's gone. All right, we can get a
Speaker 1: beer label T shirt that says Larry the Cable Guy,
Speaker 1: a nice black T shirt thirty bucks, a bowl skull
Speaker 1: T shirt, also thirty bucks, a Western crest T shirt
Speaker 1: that says get her Done in kind of a western
Speaker 1: font that looks good, one that says Larry in almost
Speaker 1: like a baseball script that looks good. Some Camo based
Speaker 1: baseball caps that say get her done. And that's really it.
Speaker 1: Not much to make fun of there, Larry, you're not
Speaker 1: helping the show. It's Sunday weekend filler bro r. Kathleen Madigan,
Speaker 1: who I'm also friends with, also has a store. Let's
Speaker 1: click on merch on Kathleen Maadigan dot com. See if
Speaker 1: there's stuff we can make fun of your Let's see,
Speaker 1: she's got a Madigan's pobcast hat for thirty five bucks.
Speaker 1: A baseball tea. I always enjoy a nice baseball tea
Speaker 1: mystery grab bag for six dollars, and then she's selling
Speaker 1: her albums. Let's see what's in the grab bag. Pick
Speaker 1: your size and get a surprise shirt from the vault
Speaker 1: of previous Kathleen Madigan shirts. Six bucks. Boy, there's nothing
Speaker 1: to make fun of. This segment sucks. Why did you

Speaker 1: Jim Gaffigan dot com. Does he have merch? He's got
Speaker 1: a store. Come on, Jim, hook me up here. Gaffigin
Speaker 1: parenting quote glasses. So I've made fun of this before.
Speaker 1: You want a shock glass with a parenting quote from
Speaker 1: Jumn Gaffigan? You know you do. I mean, what's cooler
Speaker 1: that a shotglass that says raising kids may be a
Speaker 1: thankless job with ridiculous hours, but at least the pay sucks.
Speaker 1: I mean, how sweet is that? Thank you Jim Gaffigan
Speaker 1: for a halfway saving the bit from Late Night er.
Speaker 1: Jay Leno revealed when he replaced Johnny Carson, he initially
Speaker 1: planned to call the program The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno,
Speaker 1: but jay Leno's mom was like, don't do that. To
Speaker 1: be fair to Jay Leno. The previous incarnations of the
Speaker 1: show were Tonight's starring Steve Allen, Tonight's starring Jack Parr,
Speaker 1: and The Tonight's Show starring Johnny Carson. Jay quoted his
Speaker 1: mother saying, oh, starring Jay Leno, listen to you, mister
Speaker 1: big shot. You're getting too big for your breeches. Two
Speaker 1: weeks later, I changed it to The Tonight Show with
Speaker 1: Jay Leno. That's why I changed, because of my mother.
Speaker 1: Bill Carter, in his book The Late Shift, says Jay
Speaker 1: had steered clear of starring Jay Leno out of concern
Speaker 1: that he would look too presumptuous claiming a star title.
Speaker 1: On his first day on the job. Conan O'Brien went
Speaker 1: with The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien Jimmy Fallon. It
Speaker 1: calls his The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Sean Davies
Speaker 1: wrote a lengthy article for short All with suggestions on
Speaker 1: how to fix the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Every year, this
Speaker 1: time we hear how the Fringe is broken. Here are
Speaker 1: some suggestions. Number One, say no to the extra show,
Speaker 1: Sean says, every year at Fringe a handful of shows
Speaker 1: excel and sell out. They're ron what follows is a
Speaker 1: scramble to add extra shows and more people can see
Speaker 1: the show. I completely understand the show's popular. It's a
Speaker 1: chance that makes more money. Most comedians would be thrilled
Speaker 1: for the show to be so popular. But what they
Speaker 1: don't realize is they're actively taking audiences from other shows.
Speaker 1: Their desire to make a bit more cash is taking
Speaker 1: money directly out of the hands of their colleagues and friends.
Speaker 1: I mean, good luck with that plan. You're gonna tell
Speaker 1: a comedian, don't make more money so other people will
Speaker 1: come see a different show. Maybe possibly, perhaps the top
Speaker 1: level famous comedians might be that cool. But somebody gets
Speaker 1: a hit show, they're gonna sell as many tickets as possible.
Speaker 1: Suggestion number two, name your sponsor, Sean says, Recognize your
Speaker 1: privilege and tell people about it. How can you afford
Speaker 1: to be here doing what you do? Did you win
Speaker 1: the lottery? Do you have generational wealth? Just be honest
Speaker 1: about your position, Okay, and fine, no problem there. Tip
Speaker 1: number three offset your profits with equity, Sean writes, I
Speaker 1: recently had an email from an established act who apologized
Speaker 1: for being middle class. They said they were making some
Speaker 1: jokes about privilege in the new show and had a
Speaker 1: realization that it wasn't enough to joke about they'd been
Speaker 1: well paid for a recent job, and asked if they
Speaker 1: can make a donation. Obviously a bit their handoff, any
Speaker 1: money coming in goes directly towards supporting working class comedians.
Speaker 1: I'm not asking everyone who makes a profit to donate
Speaker 1: to Best in Class, but you can if you want.
Speaker 1: I know some acts who directly support working class acts
Speaker 1: by paying for their PR revenue. But I'd like to
Speaker 1: see production companies, PR companies and venues setting special tariffs
Speaker 1: for working class acts. It's not that's like, Hey, Joe Rogan,
Speaker 1: I know you're making a lot of money. You know,
Speaker 1: would be kind of cool if you could throw some
Speaker 1: money over to support daily comedy news. Come on, Joe,
Speaker 1: we're both talking about comedy on our podcast. We're the same,
Speaker 1: you're just more famous. Come on, hook me out. It
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. Stop. And I'm seeing some buzz
Speaker 1: on Matt Lyons for poking fun at outdoor stereotypes. His
Speaker 1: videos are doing well in the algorithms. Lions roast outdoor
Speaker 1: enthusiasts like hikers, skiers, and people who can afford to
Speaker 1: live in Aspen. He has half a million fans on Instagram,
Speaker 1: another two hundred and fifty thousand on TikTok. Lions says,
Speaker 1: my videos are about things that I'm guilty of myself.
Speaker 1: I totally have a tattoo of a mountain on my forearm.
Speaker 1: It's so cliche. I threw hike. I also poke fun
Speaker 1: at what I've observed over the years. I understand sometimes
Speaker 1: they don't realize how niche our communities can feel, and
Speaker 1: how inaccessible we can make them seem to outsiders the
Speaker 1: way we talk. I want my jokes to make people
Speaker 1: feel a little more self aware, rather than making them
Speaker 1: think they're wrong for the way they act. Which outdoor
Speaker 1: community gives you the most feedback? Lyons says, the past
Speaker 1: winter was crazy with Colorado skiers chiming in. I did
Speaker 1: an East Coast versus West Coast video and another one
Speaker 1: about people who live in Aspen. I noticed that ski
Speaker 1: culture really last Stutther was videos and people started going
Speaker 1: at each other in the comments section. For every one
Speaker 1: order comics that are like, oh man, this is totally me.
Speaker 1: There is one person who seems like they've had hurt feelings. Look,
Speaker 1: you say enough words into the mic. Somebody's gonna not
Speaker 1: like what you said. So Lion says, there's one person
Speaker 1: who seems like they've had hurt feelings. Oftentimes I'll click
Speaker 1: on that person's profile and they end up being the
Speaker 1: exact image of the person. I'm not trying to be
Speaker 1: mean about the way I portray these groups. Again, I'm
Speaker 1: the exact person I'm making fun of in my videos.
Speaker 1: I always try to be family friendly. I don't curse
Speaker 1: or make crash jokes that you couldn't watch with kids.
Speaker 1: I want people to be able to send it to
Speaker 1: their family members without it being weird. My whole vibe
Speaker 1: is to stay lighthearted with my critique. Amen, brother, And
Speaker 1: that's true comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,
Speaker 1: or if you still enjoy the program, tell a friend
Speaker 1: about it. If you think I'm a jerky face, tell
Speaker 1: other people I'm a jerkey face, they say all publicities.
Speaker 1: Good by Melissay. So Johnny Mac is a jerkeyface dot com.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it goes viral. See you tomorrow.
