Speaker 1: Caalarogu shock media.
Speaker 2: And there Johnny Mack if your daily comedy medis thinks
Speaker 2: you're kicking back up after the hollin a and I
Speaker 2: think that's what the open theme back the way it was.
Speaker 2: So things are pretty good here. Mark Ruffalo has criticized
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan for Joe Rogan's shock over Trump's ice raids.
Speaker 2: Ruffalo says, it's a little late now. Johnny Mack likes
Speaker 2: a comedian controversy. Let's throw some kerosene on this one.
Speaker 2: On the July second episode of The Joe Rogan Experience,
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan said, there are two things that are insane.
Speaker 2: One is the targeting of migrant workers. Not cartel members,
Speaker 2: not gang members, not drug dealers, just construction workers showing
Speaker 2: up in construction sites raiding them Gardners like really. Mark
Speaker 2: Ruffalo went on Threads on July sixth and said, Dear
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan, it's a little late now to pretend like
Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five didn't exist and wasn't the playbook
Speaker 2: all along. You were either not that smarter, not that dumb.
Speaker 2: It's hard to tell at this point. Rogan had not
Speaker 2: responded at the time of this recording. John Stewart was
Speaker 2: back offacation. On Monday Night's Daily Show. He commented on
Speaker 2: the lawsuit that parent company Paramount settled against President Trump.
Speaker 2: The bit was John was doing commentary on the lawsuit,
Speaker 2: then cut off by a graphic that read, please stand by,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Arby's for when you want a
Speaker 2: sandwich commensurate with your company's shame. The camera cut back
Speaker 2: to John Stewart and he said, that's why it's so wrong.
Speaker 2: In case you missed it, Paramount Global has agreed to
Speaker 2: pay sixteen million dollars to settle a lawsuit from Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: who sued over the editing over the October interview that
Speaker 2: sixty minutes conducted with Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, Hey, Craig Robinson, lame, lame, lame,
Speaker 2: lame lame. Let me just say that again, in case
Speaker 2: Craig didn't hear me the first time, Hey, Craig Robinson, lame.
Speaker 2: Daily Comedy News and many other media outlets reported that
Speaker 2: Craig Robinson was retiring from comedy. My spidy sense was
Speaker 2: tingling a little bit, so it is now believed that
Speaker 2: the retirement is part of a brand new marketing campaign.
Speaker 2: For a cell phone company. I'm not going to mention
Speaker 2: the cell phone company. Craig's original words included retiring from
Speaker 2: comedy to pursue his true calling. In Los Angeles, there
Speaker 2: were now billboards in the color scheme of a particular
Speaker 2: cell phone company that's say Craig Robinson is quitting comedy.
Speaker 2: People are suspicious, thinking why would Craig take out a
Speaker 2: billboard saying that Craig has previously started in commercials for
Speaker 2: this particular cell phone company, in which he called himself
Speaker 2: the company's chief technology officer. A second spot co starred
Speaker 2: Brian Bombgartner from the Office, and a third featured Robinson
Speaker 2: and bomb Gartner with Rain Wilson, Jenni Fisher, Creed Bratton,
Speaker 2: and Kate Flannery. So, Craig, I hope you liked your attention,
Speaker 2: and I hope it was worth it, and I hope
Speaker 2: the cell phone company pays well because not a good look.
Speaker 2: GQ has a nice profile with Roywood Junior, mostly about baseball.
Speaker 2: I'm going to use some of it on Saturday and
Speaker 2: some of it on Monday because it's about baseball and
Speaker 2: home runs on Monday's the home Run Derby. But Roy
Speaker 2: did share that he still takes his baseball gloves to
Speaker 2: games and said, I remember I got up set on
Speaker 2: a date one time when I lived in LA I'd
Speaker 2: go to spring training every year for a weekend and
Speaker 2: just ingest as much baseball as I could. A woman
Speaker 2: I was dating at the time talk to me and
Speaker 2: to let him come with me. Then she's like, this
Speaker 2: is embarrassing. You're a child, and I was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, Yeah, I am. Anthony Anderson is guest hosting
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel Live. They were doing some man on the
Speaker 2: Street stuff, the question what's the whitest thing about you?
Speaker 2: Anderson explained the segment was directed at quote black folks
Speaker 2: on Hollywood Boulevard, tagging the joke with to do the
Speaker 2: opposite would have been racist. One man confessed to a
Speaker 2: love of pumpkin spice. According to Late Nighter, another woman
Speaker 2: said she's a vegan, and then who showed up on
Speaker 2: camera Chris Rock. He joked the whitest thing about me?
Speaker 2: And I have to keep this clean here. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: read it as Late Night or has it because I
Speaker 2: don't want to get dirty user imagination. Chris Rock said
Speaker 2: the whitest thing about me. That would have to be
Speaker 2: my bleep. I try about once a month to thank
Speaker 2: all the members in support orders of the show, the

Speaker 2: a slash daily comedy news, the National donut chain. Right now,
Speaker 2: they have a new flavor, a cookie dough that I'm
Speaker 2: kind of into with my coffee. They got rid of
Speaker 2: the orange donut. The orange donut was like the most
Speaker 2: amazing donut. They do this every now and then. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm going back twenty years. There was a lemon glazed
Speaker 2: that showed up around Easter one year and it was
Speaker 2: the all time best donuts chained donut. And it never
Speaker 2: came back. I'm still waiting for it. Anytime I'm in
Speaker 2: the South and they have those maple frosteds. You can't
Speaker 2: get those in New Jersey. I love them good maple frosted.
Speaker 2: But in June they had an orange donut. Oh it
Speaker 2: was so good. And listen to me, I've lived in
Speaker 2: New Jersey for twenty years now. I just said orange
Speaker 2: instead of orange. My kids make fun of me when
Speaker 2: I talk about Queen's neighborhoods like Forest Hills and they're
Speaker 2: like forest Forest, but I just said orange, I heard myself. Ugh,
Speaker 2: punch yourself in the face, Jonny mackew losing your New

Speaker 2: you see this about the movie Rush Hour? Remember the
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight movie stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Now Prime Video has a disclaimer Before the credits, it reads,
Speaker 2: we all love our buddy comedies, but this movie was
Speaker 2: created in a different time. FYI, certain depictions, language and
Speaker 2: humor may seem outdated and at times offensive. They've added
Speaker 2: similar messages to Goodfellas, Blazing Saddles, and Gone with the Wind?
Speaker 2: All right, what's the problem with Russia Hour, Johnny Mack,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it in a while. Well, luckily there's
Speaker 2: a summary here. Apparently there are multiple jokes built on
Speaker 2: confusing Chinese and Japanese culture. There's a running gag about
Speaker 2: Latino gang members accents. In two thousand and two, so
Speaker 2: that's twenty three years ago. Jackie Chance said, I make
Speaker 2: the movie, and a Telmet manager see, I should never
Speaker 2: make this kind of movie. Then I go to Asia
Speaker 2: and make Asian films and they call me and they say,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to paraphrase his language here, or it's
Speaker 2: gonna sound like I'm doing a stereotype. Jackie said along
Speaker 2: the lines of, hey, Jackie, it's a big hit. It's
Speaker 2: a success. And I say what And then I go
Speaker 2: make Rush Hour two and I hate it. It's worse
Speaker 2: than Rush Hour one. They call me and they say
Speaker 2: it's a success and Craig Robinson probably would like this one.
Speaker 2: My Spidey sense is tingling about this. Comedian Ross Noble
Speaker 2: is appearing on ITV's reality series Shark Celebrity Infested Waters.
Speaker 2: All right, it's Shark Celebrity Infested Waters. Ross Nobles on
Speaker 2: it and what do you know?
Speaker 3: A shark bit him?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Did it?
Speaker 2: Or is this press? Let's find out? Ross Noble said,
Speaker 2: imagine at David Attenborough dot coumentary. Right, but Attenborough's got
Speaker 2: an idiot mate who just jumped in with the animals,
Speaker 2: so we can see how big they are, and you
Speaker 2: learn something about these big creatures along the way. Depending
Speaker 2: on what cock caught on the camera, you could see
Speaker 2: me get nibbled by a shark. I think a lot
Speaker 2: of people would instantly think, oh, shark's change your big teeth.
Speaker 2: I've never really had that fear. I watch a lot
Speaker 2: of television, so I see a lot of shark documentaries.
Speaker 2: The big thing I realized is it's not jaws. Sharks
Speaker 2: don't attack people. The only way a shark has got
Speaker 2: to find out what another thing is is to have
Speaker 2: a little nibble of it. I always knew that when
Speaker 2: they attack surfers. It's because they think they're seals. So
Speaker 2: that's the story behind comedian bitten by Shark. Hey ITV,
Speaker 2: you got me to talk about it, Shark celebrity infested
Speaker 2: waters mondays at nine. That's your comedy news for today,
Speaker 2: see tomorrow. I'll stick around for this interview our sister.
Speaker 2: I'm going to bring forward and yours and give it
Speaker 2: to you now. And he said, oh wow, that's great,
Speaker 2: thank you. That's so generous of you, Carl, that's great.
Speaker 2: But his wife, my sister in law, went ballistic. She said,
Speaker 2: this is too much money, this is wrong. I don't
Speaker 2: want anything to do with and stormed out of the room.
Speaker 2: And I thought, well, that's not what I expected.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So I realized from that that this
Speaker 1: was not an easy thing to do. So I learned
Speaker 1: a lesson from that, and I knew that I had
Speaker 1: to do this authentically. I had to do it right,
Speaker 1: otherwise it was not going to work. So that happened.
Speaker 1: And then the third thing that happened was that I
Speaker 1: was looking at my financial statements and I had more
Speaker 1: money there than I was really using. It was sitting there,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was growing, making profits and so forth,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't being used. I wasn't using it for me.
Speaker 1: I wasn't using it for things that I really cared about,
Speaker 1: not for my people. So I thought, well, if I
Speaker 1: have all this money, now, why should I wait until
Speaker 1: I die? Why don't I bring it forward? And then
Speaker 1: it was a long process for me to come around
Speaker 1: to that, but that's what finally started this, and I said,
Speaker 1: well I'll do it.
Speaker 3: Now. Let's back up just a bit. Tell us a
Speaker 3: little bit about your new book. What is the Happiness Experiment.
Speaker 1: Well, this is a record of the real events with
Speaker 1: real people who I decided that I would bring forward
Speaker 1: the inheritance the money I had for them in my
Speaker 1: will and made it a prequest. So it was a
Speaker 1: chunk of money that they were going to get. Well,
Speaker 1: they were still young enough to enjoy it, and I
Speaker 1: was still alive to see it happening. So I saw
Speaker 1: what they were doing. So when I sat down with them,
Speaker 1: I talked about money and happiness and how one can cognect,
Speaker 1: and I said, look, I'm going to bring this forward
Speaker 1: to give it to you, but what I want from
Speaker 1: you is a plan so that you use this money.
Speaker 1: So it's really a big benefit for you. I don't
Speaker 1: want this to overwhelm you. And they said what kind
Speaker 1: of plan? I said, I want a happiness plan, and
Speaker 1: they said, a happiness plan?
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 1: So you know, nobody has seems to have a happiness plan,
Speaker 1: but it's one of the most important plans you can get,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to be very complex. What is
Speaker 1: it that makes you happy? What values do you want
Speaker 1: to pursue? You know, what goals and dreams do you have,
Speaker 1: and you can pursue them. So I got them to
Speaker 1: write a happiness plan. And then when I saw the plan,
Speaker 1: I gave them all the money all at one time,
Speaker 1: and so then they took it and I watched them
Speaker 1: with their plan. I saw all their plans, what they did,
Speaker 1: and how they became happier, and so you know, that
Speaker 1: had to be written about so because I wanted other
Speaker 1: people to see what they did so that they too
Speaker 1: could do the same thing.
Speaker 3: Which prequest is the most unique one you've come across.
Speaker 1: Well, it was a very very painful and sad story
Speaker 1: because two dear friends of mine had a beloved daughter
Speaker 1: and she was hit head on by a drunk driver
Speaker 1: and killed. She happened to be eight months pregnant at
Speaker 1: the time, so that killed the granddaughter too, and also
Speaker 1: their daughter. They were totally totally wiped out, devastated, and
Speaker 1: they died emotionally. They had decided that they could never
Speaker 1: be happy again. They would be wrong to be happy.
Speaker 1: They didn't deserve to be high happy because their darling
Speaker 1: daughter had been killed. Tremendously painful, awful, awful story. So
Speaker 1: they were grieving six years later and I met with
Speaker 1: them and I told them how much they had added
Speaker 1: to my life and how much I was so grateful
Speaker 1: to them, and that I wanted to express the gratitude
Speaker 1: and I put them in my will and they could
Speaker 1: accept that. And I said, but I want you to
Speaker 1: have it now, and they said, oh no, no, we
Speaker 1: can't accept it. They turned it down. They turned it down. Well,
Speaker 1: we worked, and I said, look, I'm leaving it open.
Speaker 1: So several months later, I think his wife persuaded him
Speaker 1: to do it, actually, you know, and you know, so
Speaker 1: they said, okay, we'll do it, because I say we're
Speaker 1: going to wait until you die, why not do it now?
Speaker 1: And they did it. And it wasn't the money interesting now,
Speaker 1: they said, it was the coaching that made the big difference,
Speaker 1: that changed their mind their mindset from being so negative.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll never be happy again. We don't deserve
Speaker 1: to be happy. And the coach turned there thinking their
Speaker 1: mindset around and said, look, you know it can be
Speaker 1: you can be happy again. And they started to get
Speaker 1: the mindset of happy people. And now you cannot believe
Speaker 1: what these people they are traveling all over the world.
Speaker 1: They are in Tahiti right now, they climbed Killamungarrett. These
Speaker 1: people are loving life. And it was a major change.
Speaker 1: That is one of the most heartfelt, wonderful results of
Speaker 1: the And in a sense, she said, the wife said,
Speaker 1: this prequest changed or saved my life because we were
Speaker 1: no longer living, we were dead, and this brought us
Speaker 1: back to life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean dealing with grief and many of us
Speaker 3: have I have. You know, when you're in those depths,
Speaker 3: it's really it can be really difficult to find your
Speaker 3: way out of it. And you know, often it looks
Speaker 3: like there isn't a way out of it, and you know,
Speaker 3: sometimes you want to map right and it looks like
Speaker 3: this concept could be a good map for you. If
Speaker 3: that it sounds like it was for these folks. I
Speaker 3: always like to end interviews by asking is there anything
Speaker 3: that I didn't ask that I should have?
Speaker 1: How can my listeners benefit from this book? What should
Speaker 1: they do? What would be good for them? And so
Speaker 1: I'll answer that question. First off, think about happiness, Think
Speaker 1: about being happiness. Do you deserve to be happy? And
Speaker 1: you can be happy, but you have to make it
Speaker 1: as a choice. I'm going to increase my happiness just
Speaker 1: that if you make that Realistically, I want to and
Speaker 1: I'm going to increase my happiness that choice. And then
Speaker 1: talk to people about it. Talk to a husband or wife,
Speaker 1: or a girlfriend or a friend, a therapist or coach,
Speaker 1: talk to somebody about it and say, look, I'm made
Speaker 1: the decision that I want to be happier, and I'm
Speaker 1: like you to help me create a happiness plan and
Speaker 1: then work on it. And it's not that hard, but
Speaker 1: it is challenging, but it's a wonderful exercise. And if
Speaker 1: they do it, I guarantee they will increase their happiness.
Speaker 1: I guarantee it.
Speaker 3: Carl Barney is the author and the book is called
Speaker 3: The Happiness Experiment, A Revolutionary Way to Increase Happiness. Carl,
