Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack, you with your daily
Speaker 1: comedy news. Mike Capell said, I think Trump should drop
Speaker 1: out and be replaced by Biden. Jimmy Kimmel said, usually
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump gets a spanking from a woman, it's
Speaker 1: with a Forbes magazine. Kimmel added, Here's what I'd like
Speaker 1: you to do right now. I want you to imagine
Speaker 1: we've never heard of Donald Trump before, and the first
Speaker 1: time you've ever seen him was during the debate. What
Speaker 1: would you reaction be. You'd be shocked. The Republican Party
Speaker 1: would have to close their headquarters and turn it into
Speaker 1: a spirit Halloween store. Jimmy Fallon added, Harris was on
Speaker 1: the right, Trump was on the left, and Biden was
Speaker 1: at home wondering where do I know these guys from
Speaker 1: falling again? Just like the previous debate, there was no audience. Yep,
Speaker 1: they were speaking to a totally silent, empty room. Whereas
Speaker 1: JD Vance calls that a rally. I'm honest with you guys, right,
Speaker 1: So sometimes I come down to prep the show and
Speaker 1: there's it takes me like two hours to put together.
Speaker 1: There's so much news, and it's been like that for
Speaker 1: most of September. Today, I got nothing. I'm being honest here.
Speaker 1: I don't like today's script. I really had to dumpster
Speaker 1: dive just to put the show together. The first two
Speaker 1: stories are real, the rest is extreme, a filler with
Speaker 1: me googling every comedian's name I could possibly think of.
Speaker 1: And even these first two stories really should be like
Speaker 1: at the back end of the first half, not the
Speaker 1: lead anyway. Will Ferrell says he's no longer interested in
Speaker 1: performing in drag for laughs. He did an interview on
Speaker 1: the New York Times Interview podcast. He was joined by
Speaker 1: his friend and former SNL head writer Harper Steel. Steele
Speaker 1: came out as transgender thirty years into her friendship with
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell. That's the subject of a documentary Will and
Speaker 1: Harper out on Netflix, so you'll see a lot of
Speaker 1: press from Will coming up. Will express regret over the
Speaker 1: Janet Reno Fantasies sketch from season twenty three of SNL,
Speaker 1: in that Will Ferrell dressed in drag. He said, that's
Speaker 1: something I wouldn't choose to do now. Steele at it
Speaker 1: that kind of bums me out. I understand the laugh
Speaker 1: is a drag laugh, and it's hey it's a guy
Speaker 1: of dress and that's funny. It's absolutely not funny. It's
Speaker 1: absolutely a way that we should be able to live
Speaker 1: in the world. However, with performers and actors, I do
Speaker 1: like a sense of play. Steele continued, It's an interesting
Speaker 1: question to me. Do queer people like the birdcage? Do
Speaker 1: they not? Robin Williams, at least as far as we know,
Speaker 1: was not a gay man, and yet he spent about
Speaker 1: half his comedy career doing a swishy gay guy on camera.
Speaker 1: Do people think that's funny or is it hurtful. I've
Speaker 1: heard from gay men and think it was funny, and
Speaker 1: I've heard from gay men and think it was hurtful.
Speaker 1: I'm a purple haired woke but I wonder if sometimes
Speaker 1: we take away the joy of playing when we take
Speaker 1: away some of the range that performers, especially comedy performers,
Speaker 1: can do. Will tell The Times there's a fair amount
Speaker 1: of sketches from his SNL tenure where he laments the
Speaker 1: choice and then joked, I mean, in a way to cash,
Speaker 1: you're kind of giving the assignment. So I'm gonna blame
Speaker 1: the writers or my new Steele was the head writer,
Speaker 1: and Steele says, yeah, he's not coupable at all. Steele ads,
Speaker 1: I wrote Monica Lewinsky's stuff I wasn't proud of. I
Speaker 1: wrote some good Britney Spears stuff and some stuff that
Speaker 1: I'm not as proud of. I wrote some Clinton things
Speaker 1: I wasn't proud of. I'm just moving on, I have to.
Speaker 1: Will said he had zero knowledge about the trans community
Speaker 1: before Harper came out to him. Will said, I had
Speaker 1: met trans people, but I didn't have anyone personally in
Speaker 1: my life, so this was all new territory to me,
Speaker 1: which is why I think this film is so exciting
Speaker 1: for us to put out in the world. It's a
Speaker 1: chance for all of us on the CISC community to
Speaker 1: be able to ask questions and also just to listen
Speaker 1: and be there as a friend to discuss this journey.
Speaker 1: Will and Harper on Netflix September twenty seventh. From Golf
Speaker 1: Digest year home for comedy News, Andrew Santino is part
Speaker 1: of a fancy schmancy text chain. Who's on it? Charlie Day,
Speaker 1: Rob Mceleenniy, Michael Pania, and Scott Kahn. Why those guys,
Speaker 1: They're all golfers at the same La Area club. Santino said, well,
Speaker 1: Mac joined somewhere else, so we don't see him anymore.
Speaker 1: He's better than us, and then joked and said, now
Speaker 1: we still see him sometimes. A Santino plays to a
Speaker 1: three handicap and had a career best score of sixty
Speaker 1: nine despite not taking lessons. Santino says, I'll play anytime
Speaker 1: I can. I'm an addict. It's an addiction. It's disgusting,
Speaker 1: it's sick, it's twisted. Pete Davidson's friends are worried about
Speaker 1: him going back into the limeline after his most recent
Speaker 1: stay in rehab, and insider tells Okay Magazine Pete checked
Speaker 1: into a psychiatric facility to focus on his sobriety following
Speaker 1: his split from Mantelin Kline. The source said Pete took
Speaker 1: the break up very hard for just a blank vana.
Speaker 1: He may have thought she was the one. They burned
Speaker 1: so brightly together, and it's so much in common. The
Speaker 1: insider opinion pet should move in with his mom and
Speaker 1: not look back. Life on the Hollywood Fast Line continues
Speaker 1: to chew him up and spin him out, and it's
Speaker 1: not healthy for someone with Pete's problems. The source noted.
Speaker 1: The Limelight's not good for pet and he often felt used,
Speaker 1: especially by Kim Kardashian. According to the Insider, those are
Speaker 1: not people who care deeply for him and want to
Speaker 1: see him at his best. Where's Kim when all this
Speaker 1: stuff goes down? Nowhere? But what do you expect from Hollywood?
Speaker 1: All right, let's start dumpster diving, he'd put together in
Speaker 1: a complete podcast today from My san Antonio. Whitney Cummings
Speaker 1: shared on Instagram that she walked into a Texas BUCkies
Speaker 1: and met fuzzy mascot Bucky himself. In a post, she said,
Speaker 1: look there is I mean, it's definitely like someone that's
Speaker 1: tight on CASHO hast to wear this costume, but I'm
Speaker 1: still starstruck. This is like my Disneyland. Now. My san
Speaker 1: Antonio did some research here. The photo said that she
Speaker 1: was in Austin, but there is no BUCkies in Austin.
Speaker 1: They suspect she may have been in Bastrop, the closest
Speaker 1: BUCkies to Austin. I googled other words Jim Brewer, and
Speaker 1: I found this from c L Tampa and the question
Speaker 1: do you prefer playing the bigger venues like the Stress
Speaker 1: Center or are you like smaller clubs. Jim picked the
Speaker 1: bigger arenas because they're paying to see you and they're
Speaker 1: not drunk wasted vikings. Quite frankly, I put up better
Speaker 1: shows because in the clubs I usually got to do
Speaker 1: like four or five shows in a weekend. I'm conserving
Speaker 1: my energy, and by the third show, it's not that
Speaker 1: I'm not into it, but I start getting pretty exhausted.
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh good, I could pick apart
Speaker 1: this article. And then I saw the next question was, hey, Jim,
Speaker 1: you live in New Jersey and Jim has moved out
Speaker 1: from New Jersey. And then I checked the interview was
Speaker 1: from twenty thirteen. Thanks Google. Not sure why that surfaced
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, but hey, we're dumpster diving today
Speaker 1: and Local News eight spoke to Jeff Foxworthy, and Jeff
Speaker 1: told a story. People always say, where do you come
Speaker 1: up with that stuff? There's no research going on. It's
Speaker 1: my family and friends. So I'll tell you one real quick.
Speaker 1: I had last weekend. I'm in the pool with my
Speaker 1: three year old grandson. He swims over, he goes Grandpa.
Speaker 1: I got a pepe and I said, well, let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, buddy, don't tell anyone, buddy. Everybody beat
Speaker 1: in the pool. They don't talk about it, they don't
Speaker 1: admit it. But everybody peed in the pool. And he
Speaker 1: said really, And I said yeah, And you let go
Speaker 1: of my neck. He swam to the side, climbed out
Speaker 1: of the pool, dropped his bathing suit, and standing on
Speaker 1: the side piece into the pool. And so I wrote
Speaker 1: a redneck joke. If you ever peed in the pool
Speaker 1: without being in the pool, you might be a redneck.
Speaker 1: Tim Mention says, I'm just lucky. For every one of me,
Speaker 1: there are in ninety nine people just as talented who
Speaker 1: didn't find the right audience or the right expression of
Speaker 1: their talent. And there's a bunch of people who worked
Speaker 1: harder than me who haven't got what I got. I
Speaker 1: think part of my luck is I'm not great at
Speaker 1: taking advice. I just didn't really listen very much. Tim
Speaker 1: has quit Twitter and said before I got off Twitter,
Speaker 1: which I did many years ago, I looked back recently
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the F did I think I
Speaker 1: was achieving just by putting my woody opinions into the world.
Speaker 1: It's just another piece of anxiety. He has a new book.
Speaker 1: It's called You don't have to dream. Advice for the
Speaker 1: incrementally ambitious. It's a collection of three commencement speeches he's
Speaker 1: made in the past. One of his speeches has five
Speaker 1: point three million views on YouTube. Him said he had
Speaker 1: no idea was going to be recorded, let alone how
Speaker 1: well it would do. He says that's a pretty good
Speaker 1: argument for not knowing too much. Mentionin says, I'm not
Speaker 1: a person who thinks much about the market. When I
Speaker 1: make a musical or show, I'm not thinking what do
Speaker 1: they want. I don't get caught up and receive wisdom
Speaker 1: about what audiences will or will not take. I go
Speaker 1: what would I be proud of? What would I love
Speaker 1: if I were the audience. My work isn't very condescending.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's winky, sometimes it's pretentious, and sometimes it might
Speaker 1: not be very good. But I don't say, oh, little audience,
Speaker 1: I'll spoon feed you what you want. I care deeply
Speaker 1: about how people receive my work. I just don't get
Speaker 1: caught up in the idea that I can second guess
Speaker 1: that if I put my heart and soul into something
Speaker 1: and really care about it and believe in it, then
Speaker 1: it usually works out all right. At which point someone
Speaker 1: says you're talentless and then I crumble. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: affect me next time because I've just done a how
Speaker 1: else to do it? I have no instinct and try
Speaker 1: to chase someone else's definition. It's just not in my brain,
Speaker 1: all right. Tim Mention's nine life lessons, one of them
Speaker 1: is you don't have to have a dream encouraging people
Speaker 1: to be micro ambitious, he says it speaks to his worldview.
Speaker 1: I can only speak to what worked for me. It
Speaker 1: does relate to my lack of ability to go. I'm
Speaker 1: going to try and make an Oscar winning thing. I
Speaker 1: know what wins. I'm going to reverse engineer some art
Speaker 1: based on my knowledge of what usually ends up getting
Speaker 1: an Oscar gross. How do you make good art backwards?
Speaker 1: It has to come from story and instinct, and I
Speaker 1: feel the same. You can't make a good life backwards.
Speaker 1: You can't make a good career backwards. If you're a
Speaker 1: tennis player, when you go I want to be a
Speaker 1: number one tennis player, there's actually a really simple thing
Speaker 1: to do, which is get up at five o'clock every
Speaker 1: morning and play tennis. But most of life doesn't work
Speaker 1: like that. If you want to be a star and
Speaker 1: say one day I'm going to be a Hollywood star.
Speaker 1: You're just not going to be a Hollywood star. It's
Speaker 1: a crappy way to think about it, because you're going
Speaker 1: to feel like you let yourself down. You should just think,
Speaker 1: I really want to be good at my school play,
Speaker 1: playing the Third Conquis Door or whatever, like I'm going
Speaker 1: to nail Third Conquis the Door. I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot of mythology around the idea that what you should
Speaker 1: do is set your sights on the top of the
Speaker 1: mountain and not rest until you get there. But maybe
Speaker 1: there's mountain passes that you would have missed. You don't
Speaker 1: have to have a dream. Advice for the incrementally ambitious.
Speaker 1: A book by Tim mentioned Peards said about the way
Speaker 1: he speaks, statistically, this is the sexiest accent in the world.
Speaker 1: At any given moment, more women are having sex with
Speaker 1: this accent than any other accent in the world. In
Speaker 1: your face, France, statistics don't lie. Our accent wins. Before
Speaker 1: the debate. The other night, I put on a here'
Speaker 1: Shas special on Netflix. It just didn't grab me at all.
Speaker 1: I usually like that type of show. I like British
Speaker 1: comedy a lot, but just not one thing was registering.
Speaker 1: My brain didn't last long. Remember, they're making that follow
Speaker 1: up to the Office that really has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with the Office. They've added three cast members. They are
Speaker 1: Melvin Gregg, at Chelsea Frye and Ramona Young. They joined
Speaker 1: Dom Hall Gleeson and Sabrina im Packageatry in the ensemble.
Speaker 1: The World is set in the quote same world as
Speaker 1: The Office and will also be a mockumentary. The show's
Speaker 1: description reads, the documentary crew that immortalized under Mifflin's granted
Speaker 1: Branch is in search of a new subject when they
Speaker 1: discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying
Speaker 1: to revive it with volunteer reporters. Creator Greg Daniel says
Speaker 1: the show's not a reboot, and Steady compared it to
Speaker 1: the way The Mandalorian fits into the Star Wars universe.
Speaker 1: There are no confirmed dates for production or release. Will
Speaker 1: be on NBC, will it be on Peacock or we're
Speaker 1: getting eight episodes, twenty four episodes? Nobody knows nothing. That's
Speaker 1: your comedy news for today, See you tomorrow.
