WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.800 Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack, you with your daily 2 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.199 comedy news. Mike Capell said, I think Trump should drop 3 00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.640 out and be replaced by Biden. Jimmy Kimmel said, usually 4 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.359 when Donald Trump gets a spanking from a woman, it's 5 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.160 with a Forbes magazine. Kimmel added, Here's what I'd like 6 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.559 you to do right now. I want you to imagine 7 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.600 we've never heard of Donald Trump before, and the first 8 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.359 time you've ever seen him was during the debate. What 9 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.800 would you reaction be. You'd be shocked. The Republican Party 10 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:30.800 would have to close their headquarters and turn it into 11 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.039 a spirit Halloween store. Jimmy Fallon added, Harris was on 12 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:35.799 the right, Trump was on the left, and Biden was 13 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.759 at home wondering where do I know these guys from 14 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.920 falling again? Just like the previous debate, there was no audience. Yep, 15 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.320 they were speaking to a totally silent, empty room. Whereas 16 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.039 JD Vance calls that a rally. I'm honest with you guys, right, 17 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.079 So sometimes I come down to prep the show and 18 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.000 there's it takes me like two hours to put together. 19 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.000 There's so much news, and it's been like that for 20 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:59.079 most of September. Today, I got nothing. I'm being honest here. 21 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.759 I don't like today's script. I really had to dumpster 22 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.400 dive just to put the show together. The first two 23 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.359 stories are real, the rest is extreme, a filler with 24 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.120 me googling every comedian's name I could possibly think of. 25 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.079 And even these first two stories really should be like 26 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.200 at the back end of the first half, not the 27 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.519 lead anyway. Will Ferrell says he's no longer interested in 28 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.560 performing in drag for laughs. He did an interview on 29 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.879 the New York Times Interview podcast. He was joined by 30 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.879 his friend and former SNL head writer Harper Steel. Steele 31 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.879 came out as transgender thirty years into her friendship with 32 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.599 Will Ferrell. That's the subject of a documentary Will and 33 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.159 Harper out on Netflix, so you'll see a lot of 34 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.959 press from Will coming up. Will express regret over the 35 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.040 Janet Reno Fantasies sketch from season twenty three of SNL, 36 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.519 in that Will Ferrell dressed in drag. He said, that's 37 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.560 something I wouldn't choose to do now. Steele at it 38 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.480 that kind of bums me out. I understand the laugh 39 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.040 is a drag laugh, and it's hey it's a guy 40 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.560 of dress and that's funny. It's absolutely not funny. It's 41 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.120 absolutely a way that we should be able to live 42 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.640 in the world. However, with performers and actors, I do 43 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.719 like a sense of play. Steele continued, It's an interesting 44 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.040 question to me. Do queer people like the birdcage? Do 45 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.000 they not? Robin Williams, at least as far as we know, 46 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:10.800 was not a gay man, and yet he spent about 47 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.319 half his comedy career doing a swishy gay guy on camera. 48 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.000 Do people think that's funny or is it hurtful. I've 49 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.479 heard from gay men and think it was funny, and 50 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.120 I've heard from gay men and think it was hurtful. 51 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.599 I'm a purple haired woke but I wonder if sometimes 52 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.280 we take away the joy of playing when we take 53 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.199 away some of the range that performers, especially comedy performers, 54 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.400 can do. Will tell The Times there's a fair amount 55 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.840 of sketches from his SNL tenure where he laments the 56 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.439 choice and then joked, I mean, in a way to cash, 57 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.400 you're kind of giving the assignment. So I'm gonna blame 58 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.439 the writers or my new Steele was the head writer, 59 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.719 and Steele says, yeah, he's not coupable at all. Steele ads, 60 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.960 I wrote Monica Lewinsky's stuff I wasn't proud of. I 61 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.039 wrote some good Britney Spears stuff and some stuff that 62 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.039 I'm not as proud of. I wrote some Clinton things 63 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.599 I wasn't proud of. I'm just moving on, I have to. 64 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.599 Will said he had zero knowledge about the trans community 65 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.680 before Harper came out to him. Will said, I had 66 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.560 met trans people, but I didn't have anyone personally in 67 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.319 my life, so this was all new territory to me, 68 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.960 which is why I think this film is so exciting 69 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.120 for us to put out in the world. It's a 70 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.120 chance for all of us on the CISC community to 71 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.520 be able to ask questions and also just to listen 72 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.319 and be there as a friend to discuss this journey. 73 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.879 Will and Harper on Netflix September twenty seventh. From Golf 74 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.439 Digest year home for comedy News, Andrew Santino is part 75 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.639 of a fancy schmancy text chain. Who's on it? Charlie Day, 76 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.560 Rob Mceleenniy, Michael Pania, and Scott Kahn. Why those guys, 77 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.520 They're all golfers at the same La Area club. Santino said, well, 78 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.439 Mac joined somewhere else, so we don't see him anymore. 79 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.759 He's better than us, and then joked and said, now 80 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.080 we still see him sometimes. A Santino plays to a 81 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.199 three handicap and had a career best score of sixty 82 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.919 nine despite not taking lessons. Santino says, I'll play anytime 83 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.360 I can. I'm an addict. It's an addiction. It's disgusting, 84 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.360 it's sick, it's twisted. Pete Davidson's friends are worried about 85 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.919 him going back into the limeline after his most recent 86 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.240 stay in rehab, and insider tells Okay Magazine Pete checked 87 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.240 into a psychiatric facility to focus on his sobriety following 88 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.560 his split from Mantelin Kline. The source said Pete took 89 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.599 the break up very hard for just a blank vana. 90 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.000 He may have thought she was the one. They burned 91 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.520 so brightly together, and it's so much in common. The 92 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.240 insider opinion pet should move in with his mom and 93 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.560 not look back. Life on the Hollywood Fast Line continues 94 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.840 to chew him up and spin him out, and it's 95 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.759 not healthy for someone with Pete's problems. The source noted. 96 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.360 The Limelight's not good for pet and he often felt used, 97 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.319 especially by Kim Kardashian. According to the Insider, those are 98 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.040 not people who care deeply for him and want to 99 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.279 see him at his best. Where's Kim when all this 100 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.800 stuff goes down? Nowhere? But what do you expect from Hollywood? 101 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.199 All right, let's start dumpster diving, he'd put together in 102 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.439 a complete podcast today from My san Antonio. Whitney Cummings 103 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.439 shared on Instagram that she walked into a Texas BUCkies 104 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.319 and met fuzzy mascot Bucky himself. In a post, she said, 105 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.519 look there is I mean, it's definitely like someone that's 106 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.399 tight on CASHO hast to wear this costume, but I'm 107 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.319 still starstruck. This is like my Disneyland. Now. My san 108 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.399 Antonio did some research here. The photo said that she 109 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.000 was in Austin, but there is no BUCkies in Austin. 110 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.639 They suspect she may have been in Bastrop, the closest 111 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.240 BUCkies to Austin. I googled other words Jim Brewer, and 112 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.120 I found this from c L Tampa and the question 113 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.399 do you prefer playing the bigger venues like the Stress 114 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.160 Center or are you like smaller clubs. Jim picked the 115 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.720 bigger arenas because they're paying to see you and they're 116 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.600 not drunk wasted vikings. Quite frankly, I put up better 117 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.199 shows because in the clubs I usually got to do 118 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.240 like four or five shows in a weekend. I'm conserving 119 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:22.879 my energy, and by the third show, it's not that 120 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.600 I'm not into it, but I start getting pretty exhausted. 121 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.600 So I was like, oh good, I could pick apart 122 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.399 this article. And then I saw the next question was, hey, Jim, 123 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.079 you live in New Jersey and Jim has moved out 124 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.560 from New Jersey. And then I checked the interview was 125 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.720 from twenty thirteen. Thanks Google. Not sure why that surfaced 126 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.240 all of a sudden, but hey, we're dumpster diving today 127 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.720 and Local News eight spoke to Jeff Foxworthy, and Jeff 128 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.519 told a story. People always say, where do you come 129 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.079 up with that stuff? There's no research going on. It's 130 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.560 my family and friends. So I'll tell you one real quick. 131 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.079 I had last weekend. I'm in the pool with my 132 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.800 three year old grandson. He swims over, he goes Grandpa. 133 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:58.759 I got a pepe and I said, well, let me 134 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.879 tell you something, buddy, don't tell anyone, buddy. Everybody beat 135 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.360 in the pool. They don't talk about it, they don't 136 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.279 admit it. But everybody peed in the pool. And he 137 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.279 said really, And I said yeah, And you let go 138 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.160 of my neck. He swam to the side, climbed out 139 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.120 of the pool, dropped his bathing suit, and standing on 140 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.600 the side piece into the pool. And so I wrote 141 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.079 a redneck joke. If you ever peed in the pool 142 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.399 without being in the pool, you might be a redneck. 143 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.360 Tim Mention says, I'm just lucky. For every one of me, 144 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.560 there are in ninety nine people just as talented who 145 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.439 didn't find the right audience or the right expression of 146 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.360 their talent. And there's a bunch of people who worked 147 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.560 harder than me who haven't got what I got. I 148 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.560 think part of my luck is I'm not great at 149 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.439 taking advice. I just didn't really listen very much. Tim 150 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.720 has quit Twitter and said before I got off Twitter, 151 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.639 which I did many years ago, I looked back recently 152 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.120 and I'm like, what the F did I think I 153 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.519 was achieving just by putting my woody opinions into the world. 154 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.560 It's just another piece of anxiety. He has a new book. 155 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.839 It's called You don't have to dream. Advice for the 156 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.199 incrementally ambitious. It's a collection of three commencement speeches he's 157 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.800 made in the past. One of his speeches has five 158 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.600 point three million views on YouTube. Him said he had 159 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.920 no idea was going to be recorded, let alone how 160 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.600 well it would do. He says that's a pretty good 161 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.279 argument for not knowing too much. Mentionin says, I'm not 162 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.040 a person who thinks much about the market. When I 163 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.800 make a musical or show, I'm not thinking what do 164 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.680 they want. I don't get caught up and receive wisdom 165 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.639 about what audiences will or will not take. I go 166 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.360 what would I be proud of? What would I love 167 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.040 if I were the audience. My work isn't very condescending. 168 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.120 Sometimes it's winky, sometimes it's pretentious, and sometimes it might 169 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.319 not be very good. But I don't say, oh, little audience, 170 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.160 I'll spoon feed you what you want. I care deeply 171 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.120 about how people receive my work. I just don't get 172 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.800 caught up in the idea that I can second guess 173 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.480 that if I put my heart and soul into something 174 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.360 and really care about it and believe in it, then 175 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.959 it usually works out all right. At which point someone 176 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.680 says you're talentless and then I crumble. But it doesn't 177 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.319 affect me next time because I've just done a how 178 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:42.839 else to do it? I have no instinct and try 179 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.079 to chase someone else's definition. It's just not in my brain, 180 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.800 all right. Tim Mention's nine life lessons, one of them 181 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.920 is you don't have to have a dream encouraging people 182 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.680 to be micro ambitious, he says it speaks to his worldview. 183 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.399 I can only speak to what worked for me. It 184 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.600 does relate to my lack of ability to go. I'm 185 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.519 going to try and make an Oscar winning thing. I 186 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.480 know what wins. I'm going to reverse engineer some art 187 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.279 based on my knowledge of what usually ends up getting 188 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.639 an Oscar gross. How do you make good art backwards? 189 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.199 It has to come from story and instinct, and I 190 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.120 feel the same. You can't make a good life backwards. 191 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.560 You can't make a good career backwards. If you're a 192 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.759 tennis player, when you go I want to be a 193 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.319 number one tennis player, there's actually a really simple thing 194 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.639 to do, which is get up at five o'clock every 195 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.160 morning and play tennis. But most of life doesn't work 196 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:24.839 like that. If you want to be a star and 197 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.439 say one day I'm going to be a Hollywood star. 198 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.600 You're just not going to be a Hollywood star. It's 199 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.240 a crappy way to think about it, because you're going 200 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.759 to feel like you let yourself down. You should just think, 201 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.440 I really want to be good at my school play, 202 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.279 playing the Third Conquis Door or whatever, like I'm going 203 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.600 to nail Third Conquis the Door. I think there's a 204 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.519 lot of mythology around the idea that what you should 205 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:42.759 do is set your sights on the top of the 206 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.120 mountain and not rest until you get there. But maybe 207 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.679 there's mountain passes that you would have missed. You don't 208 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.720 have to have a dream. Advice for the incrementally ambitious. 209 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.000 A book by Tim mentioned Peards said about the way 210 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:57.080 he speaks, statistically, this is the sexiest accent in the world. 211 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.639 At any given moment, more women are having sex with 212 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.240 this accent than any other accent in the world. In 213 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.919 your face, France, statistics don't lie. Our accent wins. Before 214 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.600 the debate. The other night, I put on a here' 215 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.600 Shas special on Netflix. It just didn't grab me at all. 216 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.679 I usually like that type of show. I like British 217 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.360 comedy a lot, but just not one thing was registering. 218 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.600 My brain didn't last long. Remember, they're making that follow 219 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:23.519 up to the Office that really has nothing to do 220 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.240 with the Office. They've added three cast members. They are 221 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.879 Melvin Gregg, at Chelsea Frye and Ramona Young. They joined 222 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.879 Dom Hall Gleeson and Sabrina im Packageatry in the ensemble. 223 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.759 The World is set in the quote same world as 224 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.639 The Office and will also be a mockumentary. The show's 225 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.600 description reads, the documentary crew that immortalized under Mifflin's granted 226 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.919 Branch is in search of a new subject when they 227 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.519 discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying 228 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.919 to revive it with volunteer reporters. Creator Greg Daniel says 229 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.679 the show's not a reboot, and Steady compared it to 230 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.440 the way The Mandalorian fits into the Star Wars universe. 231 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.120 There are no confirmed dates for production or release. Will 232 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.279 be on NBC, will it be on Peacock or we're 233 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.320 getting eight episodes, twenty four episodes? Nobody knows nothing. That's 234 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.679 your comedy news for today, See you tomorrow.
