Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 1: John Mullaney's talk show is back. It's now called Everybody's
Speaker 1: Live with John Mullaney. It'll premiere in March twelfth at
Speaker 1: ten pm Eastern. It will air weekly for twelve consecutive weeks.
Speaker 1: Mlanie said, we will be live globally with no delay.
Speaker 1: Will never be relevant, will never be your source for news.
Speaker 1: We will always be reckless. Netflix will always provide us
Speaker 1: with data that we will ignore. Now, I forgot to
Speaker 1: check what day of the week March twelfth is. It
Speaker 1: is a Wednesday, so this will be your Wednesday night watch.
Speaker 1: But Johnny Mack is not up at ten pm, so
Speaker 1: this will be my Thursday evening watch. I am up
Speaker 1: at ten pm, but I'm not up at eleven pm,
Speaker 1: and I'm not starting a show at ten pm. That's
Speaker 1: how I roll. Plus Wednesday's Trivia Night. And you know,
Speaker 1: I might have had a beverage or two. Maybe I'm
Speaker 1: a little sleepy. It happens, you know. By the way,
Speaker 1: second place this week, we're having a great twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: We've got two seconds and a first and an eleventh.
Speaker 1: But we don't talk about that. We also have a
Speaker 1: Hey guys, it's cold and I don't feel like going
Speaker 1: to the brewery tonight. We had one of those I digress.
Speaker 1: Just like the previous show, Everybody's in LA. Everybody's Live,
Speaker 1: We'll tape in Los Angeles. But I guess they changed
Speaker 1: the name to free themselves up of the geographic anchor.
Speaker 1: Everybody's in LA will feature a couch of eclectic guests
Speaker 1: live your phone calls. Oh guys, he didn't take my note?
Speaker 1: Was that segment just doesn't work? Richard Kind and same
Speaker 1: Oh the food delivery robot. Malaney says this will be
Speaker 1: the one place where you could see Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting
Speaker 1: next to Nicky Glazer sitting next to a family therapist,
Speaker 1: with music by Mannekin Pussy, which thankfully is an actual band.
Speaker 1: So I don't have to explain to my wife why
Speaker 1: were you in the basement looking up Mannequin Pussy. Well,
Speaker 1: you see, honey, they're an American punk and indie rock
Speaker 1: band from Philadelphia, formed in twenty ten. You may know
Speaker 1: them from their twenty sixteen album Romantic. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what you think I'm doing down here. I'm recording
Speaker 1: a comedy podcast. Laney continued, that's just a brief sampling
Speaker 1: of guests. We don't know if we can lock in
Speaker 1: Manneck and Pussy, but we're into with them. I love
Speaker 1: this next line. He said, this is a really fun experiment.
Speaker 1: Not since Harry and Megan has Netflix given more money
Speaker 1: to someone without a specific plan. Ah, that'll make for
Speaker 1: a good episode of Palace Intrigue. That's the podcast about
Speaker 1: the Royal family that I'm the writer on, and it's
Speaker 1: one of those shows you get commercial free if you
Speaker 1: do the ad free thing that you know you hear
Speaker 1: the two people talking about Maline. He talked about the
Speaker 1: previous version of the show and said, you know, we
Speaker 1: had a hypnotist, we had an expert on coyotes in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. We had a palm tree expert, we had
Speaker 1: an earthquake expert. We covered most all natural disasters that
Speaker 1: take place in California except for one. We just weren't ready.
Speaker 1: Apparently that remark did play well in the room. Maline said,
Speaker 1: it's one of those shows that neither Netflix nor I
Speaker 1: really needed to do. I never wanted a host a
Speaker 1: talk show, and they were getting out of the talk
Speaker 1: show game. It was the perfect moment to do this.
Speaker 1: So twelve weeks it's apparently gotten a two season commitment.
Speaker 1: No idea when the second season will happen, but you know,
Speaker 1: twelve weeks, starting in March, you'll watch, Speaking of Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: Tonight is the Comedy Gives Back fundraiser Love the top
Speaker 1: of this line up here, pat oswalt Zach Galifanakis, Bob Odin, Kirk,
Speaker 1: Bryan post Sayin, Doug Benson's on this, Dana gould Is
Speaker 1: on this, and a bunch of others. The show benefits
Speaker 1: the Comedy Gives Back Firefund, which helps comedians affected by
Speaker 1: fires in Los Angeles. Terrible news from Netflix. Adam Sandler
Speaker 1: is going to be in another movie now hopefully here.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about the movie and they'll tell
Speaker 1: you what the hopefully is. It's a Noah Bomback movie
Speaker 1: titled JA Kelly. The movie J Kelly features people like
Speaker 1: George Clooney, Stacy Keach, Greta Gerwig, Laura Dern, Eve Houston,
Speaker 1: who's Bono's daughter, Napple Baby, Emily Mortimer, and Adam Sandler. Now,
Speaker 1: whatever you think of Adam Sandler, terrible comedic actor, but
Speaker 1: he's not a Naple baby, and he is a good
Speaker 1: dramatic actor. Maybe he's doing a dramatic role in Jay Kelly.
Speaker 1: Maybe perhaps possibly Adam Sandler is taking my advice. Adam,
Speaker 1: you go. I hope this is dramatic. Amy Schumer wants
Speaker 1: us to talk about her. I'm not kidding. I know
Speaker 1: I've been doing that all week. She wants us to
Speaker 1: talk about her, to the point I already have stuff
Speaker 1: for sad and Sunday and maybe Monday about how much
Speaker 1: Amy Schumer wants us to talk about her. She was
Speaker 1: on the Tonight Show. She's out promoting this movie kind
Speaker 1: of Pregnant that's coming out, and she wants us to
Speaker 1: talk about her. In today's installment of Amy Schumer wants
Speaker 1: us to talk about she talked about and encounter with
Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper who says to Amy, hey, I turned fifty
Speaker 1: this year, and he says to me, Amy Schumer, you fifty,
Speaker 1: And apparently that rubbed Amy Schumer the wrong way, as
Speaker 1: she had just turned forty three. She spoke with Jimmy
Speaker 1: Fallon about fans who say hurtful things to you by
Speaker 1: accident when they're asking for pictures. They'd be like, Hi, sorry,
Speaker 1: I know you just worked out and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I had some ramen and had a kick
Speaker 1: so I'm sweating where They're like, I know you're not
Speaker 1: wearing makeup, but I'm like, I'm wearing a lot of makeup.
Speaker 1: Back to Bradley Cooper, Amy said, I tried to like
Speaker 1: recover because whatever, I'm forty three, but you know, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I will be fifty, she told Fallon. She ultimately replied, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not Bradley. You know I'm not, but thank you
Speaker 1: for thinking of me. Schumer said the question got to
Speaker 1: her because we all want to be hot. This is
Speaker 1: how bad people want to be hot. People literally run.
Speaker 1: She made fun of joggers and peloton writers, saying they're
Speaker 1: riding a bike to nowhere to the Wicked soundtrack. Amy
Speaker 1: Schumer has a movie coming out in February. Bow and
Speaker 1: Yang and Matt Rodgers are putting out a book. It's
Speaker 1: called The Rules of Culture, Volume one, described as a
Speaker 1: manifesto on culture and a Guinness World Records book for
Speaker 1: queer people and straight girls who get it. The book
Speaker 1: will feature over one hundred insightful, hilarious and utterly immutable
Speaker 1: rules that govern culture in its current fragmented states. Yang
Speaker 1: and Rogers said in a statement, I apparently they have
Speaker 1: joined and become one entity. They have joined the Borg
Speaker 1: resistance is futile. In their joint statement, they said culture
Speaker 1: is a shattered mirror on the floor. This is our
Speaker 1: attempt at gluing every shart of it back together, as
Speaker 1: we will prove in this book. Culturists for you, culturists
Speaker 1: for us, culturists for everyone. Never sure how a joint
Speaker 1: statement works, but okay, whatever. Hey, if you're up in
Speaker 1: the Massachusetts Arie, you might want to look out for
Speaker 1: Matt Rife. He's been showing up at local clubs. A
Speaker 1: week ago or so, he showed up at Fall Rivers
Speaker 1: Belmont Club. Then in Tuesday he showed up at the
Speaker 1: Society Coffee Bar for Whale City Comedy's latest pop up show.
Speaker 1: Ashley Thatcher is the founder and director of Whale City Comedy,
Speaker 1: and she said they went crazy. I never heard of
Speaker 1: fifty person crowd be that loud. That's the best part
Speaker 1: of the show for me. Apparently Rife is trying to
Speaker 1: get as much stage time as possible, so that's why
Speaker 1: he's coming to the South Coast. Whale City Comedy's mission
Speaker 1: is to grow the local comedy scene beyond big cities
Speaker 1: like Providence in Boston. Wal City's known for its lineup
Speaker 1: of pop up shows and an annual five day comedy festival.
Speaker 1: Thatcher said, I really love to highlight great local businesses
Speaker 1: across the South Coast, so we can pop up anywhere,
Speaker 1: from a batique in Westport to a coffee shop in Somerset,
Speaker 1: to a brewery to an art gallery. It brings exposure
Speaker 1: to these places while also creating a fun event. MOA.
Speaker 1: Mayer's show mo is back very good show if he
Speaker 1: didn't see season one. The Guardian writes how Moe has
Speaker 1: found himself becoming one of the most prominent Palestinian voices
Speaker 1: in the world. When they interviewed him, it was right
Speaker 1: when the peace agreement came out, and most said, I
Speaker 1: just got a flurry of text messages about it as
Speaker 1: I came to my computer. It's literally teed up and
Speaker 1: ready to go. Presumably look as a Palestinian man, we're
Speaker 1: very suspicious of deals like this. I'm very hopeful that
Speaker 1: it's honest and real and sincere, and that it will
Speaker 1: lead to real positive change. I just have a lot
Speaker 1: of skepticism. Whatever people are willing to literally say, Cee's fire,
Speaker 1: it's over no more. That's always a positive thing. The
Speaker 1: worry I have is just like it's been going on
Speaker 1: for quite some time. I've seen this so many times.
Speaker 1: I just really want for it to all truly end
Speaker 1: and for Palestinians to have a real future there. The
Speaker 1: BBC has apologized to staff members who felt they were
Speaker 1: unable to raise complaints or concerns about Russell Brand's behavior
Speaker 1: when he worked for the BBC. The BBC has published
Speaker 1: the findings of an internal review into Russell's conduct when
Speaker 1: he worked at BBC Radio between two thousand and six
Speaker 1: and two thousand and eight. There had been a series
Speaker 1: of accusations made against Russell Brand back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: One complaint related to Russell Brand urinating into a cup
Speaker 1: during a show on BBC Radio two. The BBC acknowledged
Speaker 1: that had been registered formally at the time, but admitted
Speaker 1: it was quote not dealt with effect actively. Another part
Speaker 1: of the report concerned in an allegation that Russell Brand had
Speaker 1: exposed himself to a woman in the bathroom of the
Speaker 1: BBC LA office. The investigation asserted that the incident was
Speaker 1: fairly common knowledge in the LA office and was often
Speaker 1: joked about. The report says what is clear is that
Speaker 1: many BBC staff and freelancers, especially in more junior roles,
Speaker 1: found Russell Brand demanding and difficult at work with and
Speaker 1: his behavior extreme, but all felt that there was no
Speaker 1: point in complaining as they believed they would not be
Speaker 1: listened to, and rightly or wrongly, that Russell Brand is
Speaker 1: a high profile presenter had the sport of station management.
Speaker 1: A couple comments here for me, A don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: B absolutely not being dismissive of the complaints. See personally
Speaker 1: worked with Russell Brand once for twenty minutes. In those
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, he was extremely professional and extremely charming. Again,
Speaker 1: I want to be clear, I'm not being dismissive of
Speaker 1: the complaints. D having been showbiz adjacent for some time,
Speaker 1: a person who was at the point in their fame
Speaker 1: that Russell Brand wants around the time of those complaints,
Speaker 1: people get away with stuff welcome to show business and
Speaker 1: not saying it's right. I'm just telling you it happens.
Speaker 1: For example, say you're hosting Saturday Night Live, are you
Speaker 1: allot of smoke in the theater because some people apparently
Speaker 1: smoke while hosting Saturday Night Live. I'm on a website
Speaker 1: here and I just looked up the Smoke Free Air
Speaker 1: Act of two thousand and two, which protects the health
Speaker 1: of New York City workers against the harmful effects of
Speaker 1: secondhand smoke by making virtually all workplaces smoke free. So,
Speaker 1: for example, say your job is you work the cameras
Speaker 1: at a late night live comedy variety show that takes
Speaker 1: place on Saturday nights. Say you work on one of those,
Speaker 1: The New York State Clear Indoor Act of two thousand
Speaker 1: and four impose state restrictions on smoking indoors. These acts
Speaker 1: impact the following businesses and establishments all office buildings okay,
Speaker 1: all private offices okay, All food service establishments, all bars,
Speaker 1: membership associations, all areas of theaters. Also bank shopping, wall,
Speaker 1: sports arenas, public transportation. So let me ask you. Say
Speaker 1: you're hosting Saturday Night Live and you feel like smoking
Speaker 1: on live national television inside a theater in New York City.
Speaker 1: What happens to you? I don't know. Perhaps a large
Speaker 1: fine was sent, Perhaps somebody spent ten days in jail,
Speaker 1: and it just didn't get reported. I don't know what happens,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, for the most part, you're sitting
Speaker 1: there going, hey, should I tell so and so that
Speaker 1: they can't smoke here in a theater in New York
Speaker 1: City during our live variety show on Saturday night. My experience,
Speaker 1: being show business jacent is going to be yes, let
Speaker 1: it go. What are you gonna do? So let me
Speaker 1: be clear. I don't know what happened with mister brand,
Speaker 1: could have happened, didn't happen. Don't want to dismiss the people,
Speaker 1: but when I read in a complaint from BBC that
Speaker 1: staffers found no point in complaining that, I absolutely believe
Speaker 1: that staffers would find no point in complaining. Ken Flora
Speaker 1: is a comedian who helped create the Latin XL comedy show,
Speaker 1: has passed away at age twenty eight. D L eight
Speaker 1: Times reports that Ken's body was discovered at his home
Speaker 1: at Tuesday afternoon around two p TMZ cites law enforcement
Speaker 1: sources saying it appears Flora suffered cardiac arrest and no
Speaker 1: foul play is suspected. His family posted on his Instagram

Speaker 1: the untimely passing with our friend, brother and son, Kenny Flores.
