WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.399 Hi, I'm Johnny Mack, host of Daily Comedy News. This 2 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.879 is the Friday episode. I just wanted to talk to 3 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.759 you guys before we get into the episode. As I 4 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:10.679 put the show together, and you'll hear me say this 5 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.080 during the recording. As I put the show together, I 6 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.599 was like, ooh, all these stories are really angsty. I 7 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.920 hope this episode doesn't annoy people. I hope this episode 8 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.800 doesn't turn people off. It gets into politics, it gets 9 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.359 into some social issues, and as I explained in the episode, 10 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.879 I just put the stories together and I go, Okay, 11 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.160 what's going on today?

But 15 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.240 as I put the show together say it's like, oh, 16 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:40.799 this is going to be very angsty. And I hope 17 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.560 you know, nobody who listens to the show every day 18 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:44.640 goes away going ah, the show is getting really political. 19 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.000 So I actually recorded Friday and Saturday back to back. 20 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.840 Is today's show angsty? Yeah? It is, is tomorrow's show angsty? 21 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:53.920 Not at all went out of my way to make 22 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.840 tomorrow just fun and light and silly. Today a little serious. 23 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.280 So this is my little preamble. If you don't enjoy 24 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.039 today's podcast, I get it.

Callaroga Shark Media. Hey man, what's up. 28 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.840 I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. More from 29 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.480 Andrew Schultz. In an interview with The l eight Times, 30 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.000 they were curious how Andrew feels a special like life 31 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.000 raises the bar for Andrew's comedy. Great question, Andrew said, 32 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.840 I don't know. I'm always just trying to do something different. 33 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.040 I think that's the exciting thing for me. Before this special, 34 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.359 I was never personal in my comedy at all. Like 35 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.480 I didn't think my life was interesting. And then when 36 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.239 it was tough for us to get pregnant, I think 37 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.760 the only thing I could think of. I just couldn't 38 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.079 think of anything else and nothing really mattered. And then 39 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.519 talking about this got really exciting. On stage. I was like, 40 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.680 maybe I could tell stories. I never really told stories 41 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:50.959 on stage. I was like, what if I could make 42 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.280 this whole story, and then I didn't want to tell 43 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.079 anybody it was a story because I didn't want there 44 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.480 to be one man's show expectations, and I wanted them 45 00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.319 to come in thinking like this is hard hitting stand 46 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.519 up for an hour and have that expectation, but also 47 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.439 see if I could have a story layered onto it. 48 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:08.240 Spoiler part of the special, Andrew jokes about collecting a sample, 49 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.400 if you know what I mean. The only times was 50 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.120 curious as you were collecting a sample, did you think 51 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.319 there could be a joke there? Andrews said, Yeah. Sometimes 52 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.639 you're in a moment you're like, oh, this is kind 53 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.439 of funny. And then sometimes you're just talking about it 54 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.080 on stage, like you're really frustrated by something, you're embarrassed 55 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.080 by something, and you feel very vulnerable, so you're like, Okay, 56 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:25.680 let me share this and then maybe I'll find something 57 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.280 funny in it. And then there's other parts where you're 58 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:28.919 just so miserable in the moments you can't even think 59 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.199 about comedy just yet. So I think it was both 60 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.439 for sure, new topic. Hey, Andrew, what made you decide 61 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.120 facial hair was part of your look? Andrew said, not 62 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.120 all of us can grow a beautiful thick beard. Okay, 63 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.560 some of us, this is all we got mustache. I'm 64 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.159 no clue. I think this is all I got. To 65 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.120 be fair, Andrew warns us, though you can't go too short. 66 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.960 That's a big no no. Be prepared for a lot 67 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.360 of rough looks from people. Chris de Steffan a hotel 68 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.039 Fox News Digital he hasn't seen American pride on such 69 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.560 a large scale since the aftermath of nine to eleven. Chris, 70 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.759 and I think our country honestly now, personally, I know 71 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.439 that it's very divided. But I think that and it 72 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.680 might be because of exhaustion if you think the other way. 73 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.400 I do think we're going to make a concentrated effort 74 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.520 to try to come together a little bit more. Chris said, 75 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.680 I mean, you look at this Trump presidency, the very 76 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.280 early stages of it versus the last Trump presidency. I mean, 77 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.919 people were trying as much as they could to get 78 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.520 anything they could on him, to remove him. People screaming 79 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.120 in the streets, so mad the first three months of 80 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.479 his presidency. But just like, yeah, there's issues, people trying, 81 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.680 but there's no like major upheaval because I think people 82 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.639 are like, all right, so exhausting, can do it the 83 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.719 other way, So why don't we just try. I feel 84 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.280 like we're unifying more as a nation. There's more American 85 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.879 pride or a country than I remember. I haven't felt 86 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.159 American pride like this since, honestly, like nine to eleven, 87 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:34.879 like after that, like right after that, there was so 88 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.199 much American pride. Everyone came together, and now I feel 89 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.719 it again, which I think is good, Chris said. I 90 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.319 understand America's just lines on a map like every other country, 91 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.639 where there's something about having pride as a nation that's 92 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.319 just better for everyone. It's better for us. I'm not 93 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.360 saying America is the only be all end all. I'm 94 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:50.960 saying it's good to have pride and where you're from. 95 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:52.560 Is when I go to other countries, they have pride 96 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.479 and where they're from, and you see their flags flying 97 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.000 and they're proud of something, and that doesn't mean, hey, 98 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.759 you know, we're number one in Mexico. It's like, be prideful, 99 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.639 be proud to be Mexican, be price to be American, 100 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.520 and we can work together. Chris continued. For me, comedians, 101 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:04.960 I think we like to call it as it is, 102 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.159 and perception is reality. I'm in the middle. I'm Chrissy Grayzone. 103 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.120 I think even Trump's efforts like who knows if the 104 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.560 executive orders will pass, who knows if we'll buy Greenland 105 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.360 or Candadates is gonna be the fifty first state? Who 106 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.279 knows right, could just be wild things he's saying. But 107 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.240 I do think what it's doing is trying to reassert 108 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.199 in an American dominance, which again is just good for 109 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.240 our pride as a nation. The combination of stories today 110 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.399 has me a little worried that some of you are 111 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.920 gonna go away and be like this show has gotten 112 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.560 really political. I just do whatever comes out, and that 113 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.879 there's a couple of stories coming down in the first 114 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.000 half here that are also political ish. It's just the 115 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.399 zeitgeist today, So let me just do a palate cleanser here. 116 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.079 We'll do something else. But again, I don't wake up 117 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.560 and be like, I'm gonna put out a political message today. 118 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.279 It's not what the show is anyway. Friend of the show, 119 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.879 Jason Zinneman talk to Bill Burr. Jason writes in The Times, 120 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.519 I begin to tell bur there was something he often 121 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.680 talks about that resonates with me. When he cut me 122 00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.959 off Bill went horse ores, He respondedly, back in chuckling 123 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.399 in a gray hoodie and jeans. That sentence almost sounds 124 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.120 like Norm MacDonald. Right, hores, he responded, leading back in 125 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.399 chuckling at a gray hoodie and jeans. Now, I responded, 126 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.360 I'm not talking about hores, fully appreciating how funny it 127 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.079 sounds for a New York Times journalists to say this 128 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.839 in an interview. Yes, Jason's in him been writing. No, 129 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.519 I'm not talking about whores. Is funny, Jason writes, So, 130 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.240 I wanted to talk about male anger, a long time 131 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.279 theme of Burr's stand up. I won't drop into a 132 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.680 half assed bur impression because I want to catch Jason's 133 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.399 words Here. He's quoting Burr, who said, let me ask 134 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.120 you this, he said, flashing an intense stare. You've been 135 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.480 with me for an hour. Do I seem like an 136 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.439 angry person? Jason writes, I pause. He did appear a 137 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.160 little annoyed when I picked a fight with him about 138 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.399 a bit he does about women's sports. Burr is not 139 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.240 the only one who likes messing with people, but alone 140 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.360 in conversation, Burr seems like the same guy he is 141 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.160 in front of a crowd, only more cerebral than my 142 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.160 old mannerd Burs said, there's a lot of truth in 143 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:52.560 the guy you see on stage where you just looking 144 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.759 at me for one side, Jason writes, the side I 145 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.759 see here is a guy with anger issues who learned 146 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.680 how to control them. Yeah, there's some sort of uh. 147 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.639 I almost suspect it's a pr campaign. You're in. Burr's 148 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.920 got a special out a week from today. You're gonna 149 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.079 see a lot of Burr has grown up and changed 150 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.839 his ways and learned how to become a better man. 151 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.600 That seems to be the messaging on the mainstreaming of 152 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.439 Bill Burr that he became a better man, which is fun. 153 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.040 We should all become better people than we were yesterday. 154 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.079 I strive to do that, probably like you, there are 155 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.079 things in my past that I'm not too proud of. 156 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.879 I don't have a time machine. All I could do 157 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.959 is be better today than yesterday. So I'm not saying 158 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.240 Burr's a jerking face for being a better guy, but 159 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.959 there does seem to be some sort of campaign around 160 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.439 that messaging is what I'm picking up. Burst said, I 161 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:38.720 want to lose my edge. I don't want to go 162 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.360 through life angry. And here's the thing. If you have 163 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.279 an edge, you never lose it. I can tap into 164 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:43.600 that whenever I need it. You bark at the other 165 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:44.920 dog and make it go away. I know how to 166 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.600 do that, Jason writes. When I tell him the right 167 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.560 wing media figure Ben Shapiro said Bill Burr was going woke, 168 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.639 Burr shot back. All he knew is if you put 169 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.199 Woke on what I said, he'd make more money. I 170 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:55.839 don't know who he is, but that guy is a 171 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:04.279 hmm a self enjoying dure. I teach this to my students. 172 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.279 I could just read the phrase there. I mean, the 173 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:07.959 phrase made the New York Times, so it's not the 174 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.279 dirtiest phrase in the world. But sometimes trying to keep 175 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.120 it clean makes it a little funnier. And that's one 176 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.160 of the reasons I do the kind of things I 177 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.560 do where I won't say a phrase that made the 178 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.920 New York Times in print. Anyway. Bill Burr's special Drop 179 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.199 Dead Years premieres on Hulu March fourteenth. Now my question 180 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.040 for Hulu is if I hit play, am I going 181 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.160 to see the entire special? Or with like thirteen minutes 182 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:29.720 to go, is the automation going to cut off the 183 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.560 special and I just don't get to see the closer. 184 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.079 I mean, this is a fair question, Hulu. Perhaps your 185 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.600 publicists could get back to me and I'll ask them. Oh, 186 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.040 this paired up nicely, and I didn't do this on purpose. 187 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.879 Remember when Jason Zinnemann wrote, Burr's not the only one 188 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.759 who likes messing with people, someone who liked to mess 189 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.240 with people. But Tresea O'Neil. I've spoken about this in 190 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.399 the past. I did not enjoy the man's company. His 191 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.439 whole thing was messing with you, and great, dude, I'm 192 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.800 here to just be a professional broadcaster and knock out 193 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.680 this segment that we're going to do today. I don't 194 00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.759 need to mess with may just be a professional. Didn't 195 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.000 like Patrese O'Neil. Sorry he passed away. I understand the 196 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.160 New York City comedians revere him. Didn't like the man. 197 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.759 The twelfth annual Patrise o'nil Comedy Benefit Concert is a 198 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.879 night of stand up comedy to honor the memory of 199 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:16.560 Patrise O'Neil. This year, performances by Rosebud Baker Greer bourns 200 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.439 I'm seeing a lot of buzz on Greer all of 201 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.839 a Sudden DC, Benny Bilberr, Tim Dillon, to misch Ptel, 202 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.000 Sean Patten, and Rich Voss. It's at the New York 203 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:30.040 City Center. All tickets seventy five dollars including fees. May eighteenth, 204 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.559 Doors open at seven. Performance at allegedly seven point thirty. 205 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.519 Nice nice line up there. Tracy Morgan coming back to 206 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.480 NBC and teaming up with Tina Fay in untitled comedy. 207 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.559 Tracy Morgan plays a disgraced football player on a mission 208 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.840 to rehabilitate his image. Tina Fey is the executive producer 209 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.600 on the sitcom. It'll be written by thirty Rock colums 210 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.080 Robert Carlock and Sean Means. So that is telling me 211 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.879 NBC wants to be in the Tina Fay business. Very interesting, 212 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.799 Lauren Michaels Snel, You see where I'm going there. They 213 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.399 want to be in the Tina Fey business. I mean, 214 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.600 it's a good business to be in, but just interesting 215 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.559 because I'm not sure. In the twenty twenty five twenty 216 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.440 twenty six media landscape, b a Tracy Morgan NBC sitcom 217 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.039 is you know what the world is into these days? 218 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:19.240 Nothing against Tracy Morgan, It's just NBC sitcom doesn't mean 219 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:21.360 what it meant in the nineties, That's all I'm saying there. 220 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.519 Tracy will also star in Paramount Plus is upcoming comedy 221 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.879 The Crutch, which is a spinoff from The Neighborhood. Tracy 222 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.120 plays Francois Frank Crutchfield aka Crutch, a Harlem widower whose 223 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.240 empty nest plans are put on hold after his millennial 224 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.879 son and free spirited daughter moved back home. It's expected 225 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.919 to premiere it later this year. All Right, some of 226 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.639 the angsty stuff that had me nervous as I put 227 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:46.159 the show together. Michael Rappaport's in the news now. Anytime 228 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.200 I mentioned Michael Rappaport, and I've brought this up in 229 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:53.039 the past, it's always like an angsty, angry controversy. It's 230 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.720 never like Michael Rappaport went to the children's hospital, he 231 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.960 gave out teddy bears. The nurses said he was the 232 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.240 nicest man we ever met. It's never that. It's always 233 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:04.320 something like this from The Daily Wire, Michael rapp Report 234 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.200 slammed a leftist Canadian politician for encouraging lawmakers to ban 235 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.519 him from doing stand up comedy shows in Canada. Rap 236 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.639 Report made his opinions known and a column he wrote 237 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.120 for The Free Press, Canada's new Democrat Party member, Heather 238 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:23.600 McPherson had referenced rap Reports significant criminal history. I'm not 239 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.480 familiar with that at all. Is that a thing? I'm 240 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:30.919 not familiar with that at all. If you asked me, 241 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.679 is Michael Rapp Report a criminal? I would say absolutely not. 242 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:38.000 But maybe I'm wrong. I googled the phrase Michael Rapp 243 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.759 Report criminal. I don't see anything. Maybe I'm forgetting something. 244 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:47.799 I'm gonna type in Michael Rapp Report crime, Google tells me. 245 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.559 On May eighteenth, nineteen ninety seven, a rap Report was 246 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.840 arrested for harassing ex girlfriend Lily Taylor and charged with 247 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:57.840 two counts of aggravated harassment. A page six article that says, 248 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.519 years before Michael Rapp Report's court battle with bart Tool Sports, 249 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.799 the actor once pleaded guilty to arresting ex girlfriend Lily Taylor. Okay. 250 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.360 New Democrat Party member Heather McPherson referenced to Rappaport's significant 251 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.159 criminal history, history of Islamic phobic speech and tendencies towards 252 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.399 inciting violence as reasons for her proposed ban of Michael 253 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.960 Rappaport She adds, we're witnessing an alarming increase in Islamophobia 254 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.600 in Canada and globally. All Canadians deserved to feel safe 255 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.960 in our communities. New Democrats are calling on the Liberal 256 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.879 government to deny entry to Michael Rappaport. She concluded by 257 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:32.639 saying hate has no place in Canada. Rapaport responded, writing, 258 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.080 I have no criminal history other than calling my ex 259 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.559 girlfriend Lily Taylor too many times in nineteen ninety seven. 260 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.759 I'm not ashamed I was in love. I have no 261 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.360 outstanding warrants. I don't have any parking tickets. As far 262 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.240 as Racislamophobia, my only phobia currently is of a radical Jihattis. 263 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.159 I'll admit I have a phobia of anybody wants to 264 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.120 kill hert or dehumanized Jews. The irony here is that McPherson, 265 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.759 in her post asserted that hate has no place in Canada, except, 266 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.080 of course, when hate is directed towards Jews, which Canada 267 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.840 apparently has no problem with. He linked that to a 268 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.240 report which found quote six hundred and seventy percent increase 269 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.600 in anti Semitic incidents in Canada since October seventh, twenty 270 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.600 twenty three. Report wrote some more things and then finished 271 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.600 with if you're reading this other a front row seats 272 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.639 reserved for you in the New Democrats. That's a genuine offer. 273 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.200 Another angsty one, this from AM New York. CJ is 274 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.559 from Brooklyn and was having a wonderful day in Brooklyn. 275 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.519 AM New York tells us she and her husband went 276 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.480 to an exciting fundraiser at her son's school before deciding 277 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.919 to finish off a fun day at a local comedy club. Right, 278 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.000 they definitely want us to know. The day was wonderful 279 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.240 and it was a fun day, AM New York. Right, 280 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.200 she had no idea she'd end the night in tears 281 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.480 after comedian on stage performed a set of jokes culminating 282 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.039 with one personal attack. I wasn't there, so I'm just 283 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.480 going to admit the comedian's name. It is not a 284 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.360 famous comedian, CJ told AM New York. Most of the 285 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.879 comedians were fantastic, at least until a comedian Question took 286 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.799 the stage after ten pm and included a routine that 287 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.200 focused on Jewish people and the Israeli Hamas war in 288 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.039 the Middle East. CJ explains he starts with how Jews 289 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.159 must find free Palestine, really confusing becase we love free stuff. 290 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.960 Then he said, I don't know about you, but a 291 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.759 Palestinian has never kept my security deposit. From a comedy standpoint, 292 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.960 as a Roman Catholic recording a podcast in a basement, 293 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.159 I don't know what faith this comedian is. I don't 294 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.720 know what background this comedian is. But it's not like 295 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:19.320 I haven't heard that sort of joke before, and I 296 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.799 don't know the nuance of the joke. So the quote 297 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.039 from the person who went to the show was must 298 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.240 find free Palestine really confusing because we love free stuff. 299 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.720 CJ identifies as Jewish, So is the we there the 300 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.759 way the joke was told. So is this a Jewish 301 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:36.279 comedian going because we love free stuff? Or is CJ 302 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.240 self identifying and was the joke because they love free stuff? 303 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.960 That I don't know that would add some nuance to 304 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.960 this story. CJ and their husband said they didn't find 305 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.000 the jokes funny, but understood that it was comedy, and 306 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.840 hope did move on to something else. Okay, But then 307 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.360 apparently the comedian brought up the subject of slavery among 308 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.799 Jews in history. I don't have any information about what 309 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.840 that part of the set was about and what the 310 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.960 materials sounded like. CJ explains, at this point, I was 311 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.039 getting visibly upset, almost crying at this point. It's very sensitive. 312 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:08.799 I've dealt with a lot of anti Semitism over the 313 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.840 last five hundred and eight or so days. CJ claims. 314 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.440 The comedian then said something, quoting the article here along 315 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:19.519 the lines of and then quoting along the lines of 316 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.840 what the comedian said, something like wanting to go kill 317 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.679 somewhere babies, this article says. The audience laughed. CJ then 318 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.600 broke down in tears and left the club. Edward Ferrell 319 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.559 is a spokesperson for the Williamsburg Comedy Club, told AM 320 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.919 New York that the venue believes in free speech, especially 321 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.159 on a comedy club stage, and will not be taking 322 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.960 any action against the comedian. Williamsburg Comedy Club is a 323 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.519 place for comics to take chances. Unfortunately, people occasionally get offended. 324 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.480 That's out of our control. I hear jokes about many issues, 325 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.320 topics and groups in the club that I don't always 326 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.600 agree with or laugh at. I will not censor any 327 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.039 of the comics who were lucky enough to have on 328 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.840 our stage. A comedian made a joke and I stand 329 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.039 by his right to do so. CJ said, I would 330 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.960 love an apology from the club. They want to refund 331 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.159 our ticket prices, That's great, but whatever. What I'd really 332 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.039 like is for at least one person to see this 333 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.360 and not support this comedian, and to warn other Jewish 334 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:06.639 people that if you see this guy's name on a 335 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.360 comedy lineup, don't go. The comedian is scheduled to do 336 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.559 some more appearances, heavy one today. All right, let's see 337 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.320 what else we got here. Let's go to Gossip Corner. 338 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.360 Gossip Corner is always fun. Joe Coy, you remember Joe Koy, Scott. 339 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.120 I'm doing the bit because this has been a heavy show. 340 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.240 I've been trying to solve peace in the Middle East 341 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.960 and Trump and I gotta do something funny. So Joe 342 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.879 Koy one time he hosted the Golden Globes. You remember 343 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.360 the Scott Beckett. Yeah, and he told this horrible, mean 344 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:34.840 joke about Taylor Swift. Let's listen. Uh, the big difference 345 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:38.440 between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, 346 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.639 we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift. Anyway, last weekend, 347 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.639 I've had a bounce this all week Joe Coy was 348 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.519 in DC. This show's a mess today, I'm trying. Joe 349 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.840 Coy was in DC last weekend and he stopped by 350 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.679 Purple Patch to gobble up delicacies from fellow Filipino chef 351 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.320 Patrese Cleary. Apparently Joe had some red Snapper Rihanna with 352 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.559 crab and mushroom adobo at the Eater thirty eight. It's 353 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:05.480 some interesting fact checking here. On Saturday night, Joe Coy 354 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.919 told the crowd at the Capitol One Arena that he's 355 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.279 never had Filipino food like that before. Oh but fact check, 356 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:16.240 Purple Patch had previously catered Joe Coy back in twenty 357 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.320 twenty two. Hmmm, is Joe Koy lying about what kind 358 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:24.840 of Filipino food he eats? Investigation? Oh, this one's too serious. 359 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:26.679 I get a bounce this Sorry, that goes to tomorrow. 360 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.279 Shane gillis only the sixth most controversial thing I've talked 361 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.240 about today. His SNL drew four point two seventy five 362 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.759 million viewers and eight hundred and ninety five thousand viewers 363 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.919 in the eighteen to forty nine demo, which I've aged 364 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:43.679 out of, compared with the most recent regular episode, which 365 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.600 was Timothy Chellamy on January twenty fifth. That was down 366 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.919 thirteen point seven seven percent among total viewers and down 367 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.679 thirteen point two eight percent in the demo. However, it 368 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.600 was a step up from the sixth most controversial person 369 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.759 on Today's Podcast, Shane Gillis. When Shane hosted in February 370 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.720 of twenty four, he was up seven point two percent 371 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.799 from the year before, however, with viewers aged eighteen to 372 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.960 thirty four down ten and a half percent. Hmmm. Also, 373 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.279 I saw they adjested the Conan numbers. Let me pull 374 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:16.119 that up Conan oscar readings.

Of course, 378 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.839 those of us watching on Hulu didn't get to see 379 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.960 the end, not that I'm mad about that or anything. 380 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.160 The original reported number was eighteen point zero seven. The 381 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.119 nineteen point sixty nine million viewers is about two hundred 382 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.200 thousand more than the nineteen point four to nine for 383 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.960 the twenty four oscars back before the pandemic. The twenty 384 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.839 twenty Oscars drew twenty three point six four million viewers, 385 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:50.039 and south By Southwest Comedy has kicked off.
