Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Matt Rife has revealed he is now
Speaker 1: caretaker of the supposedly haunted Annabelle Doll. Oh no, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Don't take that on USA Today Airports.
Speaker 1: Matt Rife and his friend purchased the Home Museum, an
Speaker 1: entire artifact collection of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren
Speaker 1: that includes the Annabelle Doll. Rife plans to reopen the museum,
Speaker 1: which has been closed since twenty nineteen, for tours, and
Speaker 1: he'll let you stay overnight at the home. Rife went
Speaker 1: on TikTok as one does, to announce he has officially
Speaker 1: purchased the Home and Museum, including their entire haunted collection.
Speaker 1: In the TikTok, Matt Riife said this might be the
Speaker 1: most important and prominent piece of paranormal history the world.
Speaker 1: Ed and Lorraine Warren, or who took demonology and ghost
Speaker 1: hunting and made it mainstream. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: you guys don't know what any of this means whatsoever,
Speaker 1: but if you follow ghost stuff, this is as big
Speaker 1: as it gets. The museum will be open for tours
Speaker 1: so you yourself can experience and learn all the haunted
Speaker 1: history surrounding this amazing place. This is the most random
Speaker 1: hobby ever, but so cool man. I should probably collect
Speaker 1: stamps or something might be a little safer now. The
Speaker 1: Annabel Doll is a real antique raggedy ann doll supposedly
Speaker 1: possessed by an inhuman spirit. The New England Society for
Speaker 1: Psychic Research, founded by the Warrens, previously described it as
Speaker 1: demonically possessed. The doll has been at the museum since
Speaker 1: the seventies. It has gotten a higher profile thanks to
Speaker 1: the Conjuring films Now listen to this. In May, Annabel
Speaker 1: hit the road for a tour, the Devil's on the
Speaker 1: Run tour with Dan Rivera, who's a senior lead investigator
Speaker 1: for any SPR the New England Society for whatever I
Speaker 1: said before. Months into the tour, Rivera died at a hotel. However,
Speaker 1: the coroner says the doll was not with him when
Speaker 1: he died, So I don't know why we're bringing this
Speaker 1: up at all. Anyway, Matt Rife very excited. I'm starting
Speaker 1: to think maybe Andrew Schultz isn't the sharpest tool in
Speaker 1: the shed Schultz went on Instagram on Sunday and reposted
Speaker 1: that day's Washington Post article about Donald Trump backing down
Speaker 1: on a promise to require health insurers provide coverage for
Speaker 1: IVF services. Schultz added the caption you don't break your word,
Speaker 1: your word breaks you. In a follow up post, he
Speaker 1: slammed Trump, saying Donald Trump flip flop once again on
Speaker 1: a campaign promise. Hey, Andrew, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: study history, munch. Donald Trump was actually a president of
Speaker 1: the United States from twenty seventeen through twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: During that time, he built a wall in Mexico, paid
Speaker 1: for it. You should look it up. Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: a guest on Andrew Schultz's podcast Flagrant. Last year, podcaster
Speaker 1: Charlotte made the God thinks John Stewart would make a
Speaker 1: good presidential candidate. Charlemagne was on Lara Trump's show and said,
Speaker 1: we've seen John get legislation on stuff, you know, past before,
Speaker 1: like we know where his heart is. He'd be somebody
Speaker 1: I'd really like to see get in the race and
Speaker 1: disrupt things. In twenty twenty eight, George Lopez in the News,
Speaker 1: George is there's a few comedians that I talk about,
Speaker 1: and it's never like Comedian X was in a good
Speaker 1: mood and had fun and got along with everybody. Lopez
Speaker 1: seems to be one of those guys that any time
Speaker 1: he comes up in the news, he's fighting with somebody.
Speaker 1: He's mad at the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lopez is claiming
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have blocked Lopez on social media for Lopez's
Speaker 1: anti ICE comments. On June twentieth, the Dodgers stated that
Speaker 1: ICE agents requested parking lot access but were denied. An
Speaker 1: ICE spokesperson clarified no agents were at Dodgers Stadium and
Speaker 1: that the officers there were California Border Patrol. Lopez says
Speaker 1: of being blocked, it's hurtful. If anyone doesn't belong, it's
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Maybe at the next fan fest they can
Speaker 1: have ICE agents dresses the visiting team and remove fans
Speaker 1: during the seventh inning stretch, since fan loyalty means nothing.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel and team took out a billboard in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles to campaign for an Emmy, a typical Los Angelesy
Speaker 1: type thing to do. You'll find the billboard at the
Speaker 1: corner of Santa Monica and La Sienega. It looks like
Speaker 1: a standard Emmy ad for Jimmy Kimmel, says late Nighter,
Speaker 1: except when you look at it, it reads I'm voting
Speaker 1: for Steven Nice moment of solidarity there by Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1: An interesting booking on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight show. Tonight, it's
Speaker 1: Greg Guttfeld. Guttfeld told Fox News is the five I'm
Speaker 1: doing Jimmy Fallon, and I'm psyched about it. Fallon comes
Speaker 1: across as a great guy, and me going on a
Speaker 1: show shows he's not worried about upsetting his peers. He
Speaker 1: got a lot of stick for humanizing Trump when he
Speaker 1: tassled his hair, but it didn't come from anybody but
Speaker 1: the people on the left who wanted to teach all
Speaker 1: entertainers a lesson that if you dare show the Trump
Speaker 1: as a human, then your toast. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: nice he's taking this risk. Gutfeld is not the lead
Speaker 1: guest tonight. That slot goes to the Jonas Brothers. Dusty
Speaker 1: Slay said, always been on the cleaner side. But I
Speaker 1: had jokes here and there along the way that I
Speaker 1: wouldn't do now. I did a couple of shows where
Speaker 1: people asked me to be completely clean, and then when
Speaker 1: I would go through my set, I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm losing some of my best jokes. He said the
Speaker 1: final straws he got a bad review. I was the
Speaker 1: cleanest person on the lineup. Ye know, I got the
Speaker 1: worst right up because of this one joke. So I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll just be completely clean, but I
Speaker 1: still want to talk about the things I want to
Speaker 1: talk about. I'll just find a new creative way to
Speaker 1: say that. I had to find other words. I couldn't
Speaker 1: rely on shock always good advice, And I remember Jeff
Speaker 1: fox Worthy explaining that to me probably twenty years ago. Now, boy,
Speaker 1: time flies, Yeah, it probably is twenty years. Wow, it
Speaker 1: feels like yesterday. Geting old folks. Dusty talked about finding
Speaker 1: the balance between being a road comic and being around
Speaker 1: for the family. I don't like to be gone for
Speaker 1: longer than a week because I want to be home
Speaker 1: with my kids. But that's what comedy is to me. Now,
Speaker 1: if you live in New York or LA or maybe
Speaker 1: in Chicago, you can get locked into a circuit. We're
Speaker 1: still going to get it to do a lot of
Speaker 1: comedy every night. But if you're not living in those cities,
Speaker 1: touring is what you have to do. It's the most
Speaker 1: fun thing to me. He was surprised at the reception
Speaker 1: he got when he first left the Souteast. I remember
Speaker 1: the first time I went to Phoenix. I drove from
Speaker 1: Nashville to Phoenix and I thought, Man, this is too
Speaker 1: far out. They're gonna be like go back to the South.
Speaker 1: That it was one of my most fun weekends. I just
Speaker 1: remember being so excited about how well it went. I
Speaker 1: thought his new special is one of the best of
Speaker 1: the year. Picking away that fantastic interview Vulture did with
Speaker 1: Bill Burr, they were curious when Burr talks about politics
Speaker 1: in his act, what does he want to do? Burr said,
Speaker 1: if I do it, I trash it both because that's
Speaker 1: my job. I can't fix the political system. But when
Speaker 1: I do stand up, if I start trashing like Trump,
Speaker 1: I hear left the crowd go yeah, and I'd be like,
Speaker 1: you voted for a guy that's staring off in a space.
Speaker 1: Your guy literally should be in a home. He had
Speaker 1: some additional words that started with f that I'm omitting.
Speaker 1: What are you patting yourself on the back? For your
Speaker 1: party is not let you choose your candidate. Since obomb
Speaker 1: a second term, you're liberal. That's insane. More f's were
Speaker 1: skipped there. I'm not flying either one of their flags.
Speaker 1: It's people paying them. It's a problem. They're always distracting
Speaker 1: this other stuff. CNN and Fox News are a disease.
Speaker 1: Another ref skipped. But now I've moved on from that
Speaker 1: to the puppeteers. So my new perspectives. There's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with being a billion But if somebody's working forty hours
Speaker 1: a week, hundred and sixty hours a month and they
Speaker 1: can't make the rent, you're not paying enough money, maybe
Speaker 1: you should just be worth nine hundred million. That is
Speaker 1: a CEO taking eight figure bonus, and none of your
Speaker 1: employees of dental insurance. They can't even go out and
Speaker 1: get a filling for hosted SNL the week after the election.
Speaker 1: It's an honor to be asked to do that. I
Speaker 1: made fun of Comma, and I made fun of Trump,
Speaker 1: and I did a couple of silly jokes. I kept
Speaker 1: a light. I don't put that level of importance on
Speaker 1: my ac when I'm fine. As people keep trying to
Speaker 1: categorize what you're doing like that idiot Ben Shapiro, he's woke. No,
Speaker 1: that guy, you're trying to bring me in his full
Speaker 1: At one point they like me, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I'm like A I'm like an a hole. I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to look at that guy like he's an adult. Plenty
Speaker 1: more check out the Good One podcast A fantastic I'll
Speaker 1: continue to pick away at that one Tomorrow on this program,
Speaker 1: it is the debut of Comedy stock Market. We will

Speaker 1: has praised his friend Machine Gun Kelly as quote the
Speaker 1: best dad ever. So if anybody asks you who is
Speaker 1: the best day that ever, the answer is Machine Gun Kelly. Why,
Speaker 1: Pete explained, machine Gun Kelly flies back and forth to
Speaker 1: Cleveland twice a week just to see his daughter play volleyball,
Speaker 1: and he's just always with his kids, and it's such
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing to see. Pete says he's looking forward
Speaker 1: to having playdates with Machine Gun Kelly and their kids.
Speaker 1: Pete says, we're gonna have awesome playdates, and that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a cool playdate. Kelly has two daughters. One is sixteen.
Speaker 1: Not sure she'll be excited about this, but the four
Speaker 1: month old probably will be. Christella Alonso is at the

Speaker 1: undocumented mother that taught me to love this country. I
Speaker 1: believe it's my duty to give back and fight so
Speaker 1: that everybody can get the same thing. My family got
Speaker 1: a chance. Maybe George Lopez could come by forty four

Speaker 1: the story of Obama as Joe Biden kind of sort
Speaker 1: of remembers it, love it, that's hilarious. Deadline spoke to
Speaker 1: some of jfl's New Faces from Montreal Xavier Phillips that
Speaker 1: I grew up in Tennessee and wasn't really surrounded by
Speaker 1: many people wanting to pursue comedy, so I was kind
Speaker 1: of having to find what was online and see what
Speaker 1: other people who I was idolizing were doing. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of the time it discovered JFL New Faces was
Speaker 1: always one of the things I put on my list
Speaker 1: of goals for the year. I'm incredibly excited being selected. Congratulations.
