Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media at the home Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News. Sam Morrell sold the story to WAMC
Speaker 1: about Dave Attell, who's one of Sam's favorite comics ever,
Speaker 1: if not his favorite comic of all time. Sam remembers
Speaker 1: opening for a Tell a long time ago at Terrytown
Speaker 1: Music Hall and Dave would bring me out on stage.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so intimidate and go out there and
Speaker 1: riffle them at the end, because you literally feel like
Speaker 1: you're up there with Obi Wan Kenobi. Like nothing he
Speaker 1: say is going to be as good. But I remember
Speaker 1: we're driving back in the car, like he's the only
Speaker 1: one who doesn't realize he's great, Like every comic thinks
Speaker 1: he's great, and obviously so many fans. But we're driving
Speaker 1: a car back and he was like, I'm a hack.
Speaker 1: I suck And I was like, dude, we all think
Speaker 1: you're the best, and he goes, well, I'm better than
Speaker 1: you guys. The PGA Tour Instagram account has been sharing
Speaker 1: photos and videos of Nate Brigetzi out on the golf course.
Speaker 1: Nate said, this is how the pros do it. They
Speaker 1: unpackaged the glove on the first tee, I just bought
Speaker 1: these gloves this morning. He gave the empty glove package
Speaker 1: to Rory McElroy and asked Rory to hold my trash.
Speaker 1: Nate teed up for the first soult and said it
Speaker 1: should be said that I was asleep twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 1: In the next video, Nate asked Rory McElroy what times
Speaker 1: you get down here. Rory says five forty five am.
Speaker 1: Warm went off at five. Nate couldn't believe it and said, oh,
Speaker 1: but tomorrow you have like a one pm. Rory said, yeah,
Speaker 1: late tea time. Yeah, Nate could have done a late
Speaker 1: tea time today, but no, he chose with me. He goes,
Speaker 1: let's do seven ten am. I was like, why can't
Speaker 1: I come on with you tomorrow to the tournament at Won.
Speaker 1: So they'd see off. They hedge their balls and it
Speaker 1: turns out Nate was in the bunker. Nate says, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you, that one might not be mine.
Speaker 1: It says Nate Brighetzi, but there could have been another.
Speaker 1: Nate hits the ball again. It winds up to the
Speaker 1: next bunker and he chokes him. Keeping the fairwayes pristine
Speaker 1: for the tournament tomorrow. The filmer asked Nate how many
Speaker 1: warm up swings did you have? Nate said, I mean
Speaker 1: you saw the first swing, so that was it. There's
Speaker 1: never a warm up, to be honest. Terry grow said
Speaker 1: that great interview with Bill Burr last week. Bill talked
Speaker 1: about his hair and said, the greatest thing I ever
Speaker 1: had at me. So I went ball for my acting
Speaker 1: career because then I shaved my head. Look a psycho
Speaker 1: idiot that I am back in the day when I
Speaker 1: actually had hair. You know, Hollywood, you know they talk
Speaker 1: about you just racism is sexism. It goes beyond that.
Speaker 1: Like they even divide up redheads. They were like rules
Speaker 1: about redheads. I was in the redhead drawer. Okay, I
Speaker 1: was in the Opie Ron Howard Howdy duty drawer, Brooks Laine.
Speaker 1: I didn't get the gun, I didn't win the fight.
Speaker 1: I didn't get the girl. I was a mugging victim.
Speaker 1: I was just there for the cool guy. And I
Speaker 1: was saying I used to do joking my act, like
Speaker 1: I'm not the hero of the action movie. Like I
Speaker 1: was the nerd in the van when Tom Cruise is going,
Speaker 1: you gotta give me more time and I would be
Speaker 1: in front of the keyboard. All right, I'll try click click, click,
Speaker 1: and you know you could totally see Bill Burr in
Speaker 1: the Simon peg roll. All right, what's going on with
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart and Mike Epps. Kevin Hort's entertainment production company
Speaker 1: is planning for the w NBA All Star twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five events that will be in Indianapolis. President and CEO
Speaker 1: of Heartbeat Entertainment Kevin Hart told the Breakfast Club radio show,
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity for our company. Our company is a
Speaker 1: creative engine for any resource that allows us to beat
Speaker 1: the pacers. We'll use that as an example once we
Speaker 1: do it well, and from that example, I'll go to
Speaker 1: other fing NBA teams or the NBA in general and'll
Speaker 1: be like, I'm looking to be a better partner for
Speaker 1: the NBA. How do we better tell stories for your brand?
Speaker 1: How do we better promote market you? How can we
Speaker 1: amplify and activate differently? These are words in the business
Speaker 1: the companies desperately want to hear from potential partners. Now.
Speaker 1: A few days earlier, Mike Epps had been on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. They asked him about the Kevin Hart deal.
Speaker 1: Epseid he should have called me hmm. You see, Mike
Speaker 1: Epps had a high profile during the twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: NBA All Star Weekend, which Indianapolis hostedpset, it's politics. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of times people that are not in business
Speaker 1: like comedy, or people who aren't in the rap game
Speaker 1: that run entities. They don't know. They think me and
Speaker 1: Kevin are sitting in the backyard drinking iced tea together.
Speaker 1: So you really can't get upset about it. It's enough
Speaker 1: for everybody. Kevin's put on enough young comics and people,
Speaker 1: so I don't get slighted about it. Kevin Hart is
Speaker 1: stressing that his company will run the show in Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: not Kevin Hart, the seventy six ers fan, or it said,
Speaker 1: it's not a Kevin Hart thing. Everybody as seems that
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart is the driving factor of the source. It's
Speaker 1: the entity. The entity has to do things outside of
Speaker 1: me for an entity to thrive, that's a fact. Whether
Speaker 1: it's the Pacers, I got business with the Falcons, I
Speaker 1: got business with the Eagles. Our business thrives when we
Speaker 1: can implement ourselves in places to create where elevant to
Speaker 1: brand a company, an entity and activation, whether it be
Speaker 1: live entertainment, storytelling, at etc. Will Heartbeat reach out to
Speaker 1: Mike Apps, Kevin Hart said, absolutely, if All Star Weekend's
Speaker 1: coming up and we're like, okay, we have ideas to
Speaker 1: serve a bigger process that people can probably gravitate towards
Speaker 1: a little different from when they done in the past. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: does Mike want to bring in and be responsible for
Speaker 1: comedy from Indiana. Absolutely, that's where you tap in. All
Speaker 1: we at Heartbeat are servicing the hub. We're the hub. Now.
Speaker 1: It's our jobs go and grab everybody and make this
Speaker 1: thing underneath our hub better. You desperately need that. So
Speaker 1: in this case, hell yeah, Mike. Come on, Mike. By
Speaker 1: the way, this is your city. What's dope about the
Speaker 1: city that we can do with you? What do you
Speaker 1: want to do? How do we help you? That's partnership
Speaker 1: right now. The priority between me and Mike is figuring
Speaker 1: out the thing we're going to do together. And I
Speaker 1: think now having that as a priority, his fans will
Speaker 1: be happy. My fans, I think will be happy. I
Speaker 1: think it'd be dope for the culture when we do it.
Speaker 1: Tom Poppa talk to Seattle Magazine the subject of the news.
Speaker 1: Tom Papas said, here's the big stuff we can't get
Speaker 1: away from. Like you just want to look at your
Speaker 1: phone for something fun and you're innundated with bad news.
Speaker 1: Your friends are now your news source. Even if you
Speaker 1: swore off the news, your friends will pop up and
Speaker 1: tell you. It's like all my friends have become wolf Blitzer.
Speaker 1: And there's small stuff like people watching videos on their
Speaker 1: phones in public without any kind of ear butter headphones.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we need to throw pies at those people.
Speaker 1: I still can't believe somebody will stand an introm new
Speaker 1: boarding a plane and watch a video on full volume
Speaker 1: Pies everybody. We need to throw pies, you know, like
Speaker 1: soft shaving cream pies on a paper plate. I don't want
Speaker 1: to injure anybody, but people need to get a message here.
Speaker 1: Airports are even making announcements about it now, and you
Speaker 1: know the bad behavior has gotten worse when they start
Speaker 1: to include it in the run down before takeoff. Jennifer
Speaker 1: Coolidge told the story about Pete Davidson, two people they
Speaker 1: work together during the filming of Riff Raff. Jennifer said,
Speaker 1: I remember one day was freezing and I was on
Speaker 1: a house where filmed, and then this Rolls Royce bulls
Speaker 1: up and I was like, who's that. It must be
Speaker 1: the owner of the house, right, and it's Pete Davidson
Speaker 1: in his Rolls Royce. The car didn't quite go with
Speaker 1: the neighborhood or any of the experience. But then I thought,
Speaker 1: he's doing his own thing. I was never as interesting
Speaker 1: as that, you know, showing up at a Rolls Royce
Speaker 1: in the middle of winter at some job. It's a
Speaker 1: very fancy car to roll up in the dead of winter.
Speaker 1: You can't tonight. It's a crafty way for the young
Speaker 1: comedian to impress the star studied ensemble. There's everything wrong
Speaker 1: with the person doing their own thing and traveling around
Speaker 1: in style. Brian posain teld The Sonoma's Son. In comedy,
Speaker 1: it takes a while to find your own voice. You
Speaker 1: start out acting like other comedians. The comedians I love,
Speaker 1: which Steve Martin and Robin Williams. I'd listen to the
Speaker 1: records stand up recorded right across the bridge in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: They were my comedians, connected and local, using references that
Speaker 1: I understood that it became obsessed with all the eighties movies,
Speaker 1: the Sebastiani Theater in Sonoma, where Brian was playing was different.
Speaker 1: Then the same movie would stay in the theater for weeks,
Speaker 1: and I'd go watch them all more than once. Late
Speaker 1: Nighter was excerpting from Joe Piskovo's book, in which Joe
Speaker 1: Piscopal tells a story about his Frank Sinatra impression. Joe explains,
Speaker 1: I'd record Sinatra from TV on a VHS tape, then
Speaker 1: I'd record the audio onto a cassette tape. Between the
Speaker 1: video and the audio at my source material, I'd drive
Speaker 1: around in my Ford Fairmont great detail there, listening to
Speaker 1: the cassette and repeating it over and over. When you
Speaker 1: do that, you just start to catch it or you don't.
Speaker 1: It was trial and error. Piscopo points out that Sinatra's
Speaker 1: accentes Hoboken, North Jersey, which is distinct from the rest
Speaker 1: of Jersey. Joe said he'd loosen it up a little
Speaker 1: bit and make it a little more stre Eventually, Joe
Speaker 1: winds up at SNL they want him to do the impression.
Speaker 1: Joe sen Sinatra letter that said something like this, mister Sinatra,
Speaker 1: I send this with the greatest of respect. You're my hero,
Speaker 1: like my father's my hero. He told me you're the
Speaker 1: number one entertainer of all time. I mean no offense
Speaker 1: when I do the impersonations. They're done with complete respect,
Speaker 1: first and foremost. If you find them would be offensive anyway,
Speaker 1: I'll cease it and assist immediately. Joe said he never
Speaker 1: heard anything. All right, this is cool And starting tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Vulture has a show called Guaranteed, a new bi weekly
Speaker 1: comedy show at LA's Lyric Hyperion Theater, hosted by two
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four's comedians you should and will know,
Speaker 1: Mandal and Skyler Higley. Nice lineup tomorrow. The first show
Speaker 1: Emily Catalano, she was on this very program, naomiic Peragin, Yes,
Speaker 1: Heer Lester, and Robin Tran. A few weeks back in
Speaker 1: the Facebook group which is daily Comedy news podcast group,
Speaker 1: one of the main crew over there, Dylan posted question
Speaker 1: for both of you, the other person being Mike Chishom
Speaker 1: from the Letterman podcast. Of the group of the late
Speaker 1: night host since ledone Letterman who be remembered as the best.
Speaker 1: I think it's Conan or John Stewart. I was busy
Speaker 1: that particular day and said, you know, I'm gonna hold
Speaker 1: this in cycle. Back to it when I have a
Speaker 1: minute to think. Mike from the Letterman podcast wrote to me,
Speaker 1: Conan was really the third man in and he is
Speaker 1: a different place in history than Strike Force five does.
Speaker 1: He's in a league with Letterman Carson as far as
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, Yeah, I feel the same way. You know,
Speaker 1: clearly Conan taking over for Letterman and Letterman going to
Speaker 1: eleven thirty. So there's the Johnny Carson generation. You know,
Speaker 1: if you want to throw Decavot in there, if you
Speaker 1: wanna throw or Senio shooting Star show in there, you could. Uh,
Speaker 1: then there's Letterman leto and Conan's at twelve thirty there.
Speaker 1: But I feel like Conan is a half generation later,
Speaker 1: Like if we were seniors, he's a freshman, So I
Speaker 1: would kind of put him in his own generation. As
Speaker 1: for the current group, Mike wrote, Colbert has a classiness
Speaker 1: about him that I think will only deepen with longevity.
Speaker 1: Kimmel has a case because his tenure and resume alone.
Speaker 1: Colbert host at a phone news talk show and morphed into
Speaker 1: late night talk show guy John Stewart. Wait from late
Speaker 1: night talk show guy to a fake newsguy. That's really interesting.
Speaker 1: Fallon is and always will be a quandary to me.
Speaker 1: He's got massive talent and a big following who love
Speaker 1: what he does, and a bigger following who loves what
Speaker 1: he does in small doses? Is he the best at that?
Speaker 1: Now the cordon's gone, He's the clear winner of the
Speaker 1: viral video portal of late night? But does that make
Speaker 1: him the best host? Good thoughts for Mike. So the
Speaker 1: question here is who will be remembered the best? So
Speaker 1: if he asked me which is my favorite late night
Speaker 1: talk show? I think I would answer Jimmy Kimmel. And
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever actually watched an episode of
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel on a television. I've seen tons of clips
Speaker 1: and I like what Jimmy's about, But I do feel
Speaker 1: he's like somebody who makes the Baseball Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: because they play twenty three seasons. I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: Jimmy's signature moment is. Is it hosting the Oscars? So
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like he's gonna put up
Speaker 1: the stats and make the late night Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Colbert, I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 1: feeling it. I know he's winning the Late Night Wars Fallin.
Speaker 1: I've worked with Jimmy a couple of times. I never
Speaker 1: encountered the Jimmy that some of the rumors were bad.
Speaker 1: I found a nice guy. I think he's immensely talented.
Speaker 1: I think he understands what hosting the Tonight Show in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is, and the game and the gimmicks
Speaker 1: and the social media clips. I think he understands the mission.
Speaker 1: And maybe in another universe where he was unshackled the
Speaker 1: way Conan has been, maybe you could see what Jimmy
Speaker 1: Fallon can really do. But right now, based on the
Speaker 1: body of work, or we're going to look back at
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. I mean, let's rank the Tonight
Speaker 1: Show hosts. What are we gonna do? And I'm winging
Speaker 1: this and you can send letters and tell me I'm
Speaker 1: an idiot. We're gonna go Carson, Steve Allen, Jack Parr,
Speaker 1: Jay Leno, Conan only because he only hosted it for
Speaker 1: five minutes and Fallon in sixth, right, So I don't
Speaker 1: know there. So I guess the answer is j Stewart
Speaker 1: and more. For John Stewart's original ten year rather than
Speaker 1: this coda that he's tacking on, And is the coda
Speaker 1: going to be one of those things where Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: played for the Jets. We'll see. I think the hope
Speaker 1: was that John would have a major impact on the
Speaker 1: election last year, and I'm not sure the show registered
Speaker 1: the way it had in the past. So if I
Speaker 1: had to answer John Stewart, I guess so that'd be
Speaker 1: my answer might not be the right answer. And you
Speaker 1: can always comment in the Facebook group, which is Daily
Speaker 1: Comedy News Podcast group. All Right, see you tomorrow.
