Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
Speaker 2: and boy, things are not going my way way? Do
Speaker 2: you hear the leadoff story on Monday's episode? It involves
Speaker 2: David Letterman and boy who this one hurt today? I'm
Speaker 2: swimming upstream against this whole Jim Gaffigan bourbon thing. The
Speaker 2: last time I checked his bourbon set on YouTube had
Speaker 2: over one point five million views. It's probably a two
Speaker 2: or three million by the time you're hearing this, And uh, boy,
Speaker 2: I lasted five and a half minutes, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I think Jim Gaffigan is just getting by in reputation.
Speaker 2: But people are clicking on this thing. It's got, you know,
Speaker 2: a million and a half plus views, so it's obviously successful.
Speaker 2: And the legend of Jim Gaffick and continues. And okay, everybody,
Speaker 2: he was on the Today Show and spoke about his
Speaker 2: bourbon obsession father time.
Speaker 1: It's very important. I'm out there support fathers the liquid
Speaker 1: that every father needs because I believe fathers are underappreciated.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: What is it about bourbon?
Speaker 1: Bourbon is It's probably the most important invention of Jesus's
Speaker 1: and it is. There's something I love about bourbon, all
Speaker 1: the elements. I love the bourbon community. I love how
Speaker 1: it be a community. There's you know, Alan I we've
Speaker 1: bonded over this. It allows men to get together, and
Speaker 1: men need that. Men are kind of socially inept and
Speaker 1: they need.
Speaker 2: Some bourbon that brings men together.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think some of it is it's alcohol.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you well, you should watch is Kevin Hort
Speaker 2: special on Netflix that is the second best special of
Speaker 2: the year, behind only Mark Marin Special and to end
Speaker 2: just funny. You should watch it. I did have it
Speaker 2: in my nose for the holiday weekend, and there has
Speaker 2: been a lot of news. I did want to talk
Speaker 2: about the Eddie Murphy documentary a little bit, just about
Speaker 2: the idea of the return of Eddie Murphy to end up.
Speaker 2: And I can't see a scenario where it goes well
Speaker 2: because younger people will be like, what's the big deal
Speaker 2: about this guy? Us? Old people like me. His delirious
Speaker 2: in particular delirious and raw, but Delirious in particular is
Speaker 2: built up so much in our minds. And I could
Speaker 2: probably do half of Delirious off the top of my
Speaker 2: head right now. If I had to that, my brain
Speaker 2: would be looking for, like so much of an endorphin
Speaker 2: hit that as soon as I saw Eddie Murphy doing
Speaker 2: stand up, I don't think he could possibly live up
Speaker 2: to what my mind would need it to be. If
Speaker 2: he does his old style act, you know the taglines
Speaker 2: to the setup, mister Murphy, you have aids. If he
Speaker 2: does that, he gets canceled. If he doesn't do that, well,
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy's woke and he's gone soft. I don't think
Speaker 2: he can win. There's such a thin line there. I
Speaker 2: don't think he should return to his stand up comedy
Speaker 2: at this point. It's been way too long. Eddie Murphy
Speaker 2: will receive the AFI Life Achievement Award, America's highest honor
Speaker 2: for a career in film. This announced by the American
Speaker 2: Film Institute's Board of Trustees. Murphy will be honored at
Speaker 2: a gala on April eighteenth. That should make for some
Speaker 2: good content two weeks after turning sixty five, which seems impossible.
Speaker 2: Kathleen Kennedy, you know her from Star Wars, She said.
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy is an American iconic, a trailblazing force in
Speaker 2: the arts of film, television, and stand up comedy. His
Speaker 2: versatility knows no bounds cross five decades, is enduring impact
Speaker 2: on our culture as inspired artists and audience is alike,
Speaker 2: and AFI is brought to honor him with the fifty
Speaker 2: first AFI Lifetime Achievement Award. Previous winners I won't read
Speaker 2: all fifty, but some big names here, john Ford, Jimmy Cagney,
Speaker 2: Orson Wells, Betty Davis, Henry Fonda, Hitchcock, Jimmy Stewart, Fred Astaire,
Speaker 2: Frank Capra. In more modern times and by modern n I
Speaker 2: mean nineteen ninety four, Jack Nicholson, Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Scorsese,
Speaker 2: Robert Wise, who, of course directed Star Trek, the motion picture,
Speaker 2: which December seventh is the anniversary. Are you going to
Speaker 2: watch the film on December seventh like you do every year?
Speaker 2: Like I do? Yes, of course you are. You're not crazy.
Speaker 2: Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, to Nero, Meryl Streep, George Lucas, Connery, Paccino, Clooney,
Speaker 2: Denzel and last year Francis Ford Coppla A nice company
Speaker 2: for Eddie Murphy The New York Times, and Christina Sikova wrote,
Speaker 2: Adam Sandler is the light we need yes, Adam Sandler. Uh, oh,
Speaker 2: what's this gonna be? Christina says, when I bought tickets
Speaker 2: for my dad and I to see Adam Sandler live
Speaker 2: at the United Senate of Chicago, I worried it was
Speaker 2: a gamble. My dad's a saidlor guy, but not a
Speaker 2: live events guy. You may think of mister Sandler most
Speaker 2: readily as that goof who sang the Honkkah song, or
Speaker 2: the one who played in during Manchild characters like Happy
Speaker 2: Gilmore Billy Madison even in middle age. After a successful
Speaker 2: forty year career, Sandler inexplicably got the Mark Twain Prize
Speaker 2: for American Humor. How's that possible? That's the thing that happened.
Speaker 2: I've got a bulletin board up here in the studio
Speaker 2: where it says Amy Schumer hosted the Oscars once. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna write below that Adam Sandler won the Mark Twain
Speaker 2: Prize for Humor. Both those facts seem impossible to me.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna stare at them as I record the podcast.
Speaker 2: Christina writes. The Sandman appears now kind of a schlob icon,
Speaker 2: known for wearing Bloomer sweats, basketball sneakers and a scruffy
Speaker 2: beard he once described as black and gray cornflakes stuck
Speaker 2: to his face. Christina writes, at his best, he's slantedly,
Speaker 2: chrimming and delightfully fabulous. Yes, he leans into elude pose occasionally,
Speaker 2: but dirty jokes had never been a whole story with him,
Speaker 2: and that's why I believe he's such a salve at
Speaker 2: his core. It's so clear that he has heart. Christina writs,
Speaker 2: before we found our seats, my dad asked if there
Speaker 2: was much profanity in mister Sandler's stand up. Yeah, I'd said,
Speaker 2: but not much sex. After mister Sandler reeled off one
Speaker 2: of his cruder jokes near the beginning of the show,
Speaker 2: I cringed. Then in my peripheral vision, I saw my
Speaker 2: dad belly laughing. As I scanned the enormous crowd, No
Speaker 2: one among us seemed uncomfortable. In fact, what I saw
Speaker 2: was relief. Maybe they were relieved that the show was
Speaker 2: almost over. Who knows. I'd have to check. By the way,
Speaker 2: big announcement on this podcast tomorrow. If you've been in
Speaker 2: the Facebook group, you know what it is. But big, big, big, huge,
Speaker 2: tremendous announcement tomorrow. Colin jo Justin Michael Chay were on
Speaker 2: the Manning Cast on Monday Night Football as the San
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers crushed the Carolina Panthers as they
Speaker 2: always do. Peyton Manning asked each of them to name
Speaker 2: their dream pick for a future SNL host. Michael Jay
Speaker 2: said Denzel Washington. I think Denzel, of all the great
Speaker 2: movies he's done, we so rarely got to see him
Speaker 2: just be funny and silly. I would love to see
Speaker 2: Denzel hosted fun fact, when I graduated Fordham University, our
Speaker 2: celebrity speaker was some random actor that nobody cared about,
Speaker 2: this guy Denzel Washington, and we all like, we didn't
Speaker 2: play on our phones. We didn't have phones yet, but
Speaker 2: we all kind of zoned out. Oops. Colin Jost went
Speaker 2: with Tiger Woods Huge. I would love it. That's a
Speaker 2: terrible pick, Colin Jost. Jost added, I'd also love if
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan ever came back now that he's doing some
Speaker 2: broadcast stuff for the NBA, and that would be such
Speaker 2: a cool one For his third pick. Joe said Steph Curry.
Speaker 2: I think Steph's never done it. Maybe it's the right
Speaker 2: timing for him to do it. It's the hardest with
Speaker 2: the NBA because I always have to be the first
Speaker 2: show of the year. They can't do it. You can't
Speaker 2: say President Trump isn't getting things done. Now. He and
Speaker 2: I don't agree on all the issues, and we'll talk
Speaker 2: about one of those issues tomorrow on which we do agree,
Speaker 2: But you can't say the man doesn't get things done.
Speaker 2: I told you the other day he wanted them to
Speaker 2: make Rush Hour four. Well, Paramount Pictures has agreed they're
Speaker 2: gonna work on Rush Hour four. Both Deadline and Variety
Speaker 2: reporting Paramount Pictures will distribute the Brett Radner directed sequel
Speaker 2: on behalf of Warner Brothers. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker
Speaker 2: expected to return for Rush Hour four. By the way,
Speaker 2: pay no attention that Paramount is trying to buy Warner
Speaker 2: Brothers and they need the government to approve it. Pay
Speaker 2: no attention to any of that. The President just wants
Speaker 2: to see Rush Hour four, and the guys at Paramount
Speaker 2: are like, that's a great idea, sir. If the President
Speaker 2: wants to impress me, let's do something about Star Trek
Speaker 2: and Paton Oswald helping to ruin it. Okay, and of
Speaker 2: course make twelve thirty great again. We'll get into that tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Jay Leno says ticket sales for his stand up shows
Speaker 2: went up almost thirty percent when he made this one change,
Speaker 2: says the clickbait headline. Jay was on The Today Show
Speaker 2: and said, I'd take politics out of it. I noticed
Speaker 2: ticket sales are up twenty thirty per cent, just because
Speaker 2: nobody wants to be lectured. When you're on a TV
Speaker 2: and you can play directly in your audience and there's
Speaker 2: a laugh track. When you go to Indiana or Kentucky
Speaker 2: or any of the place the country, you're always gonna
Speaker 2: have a third of the people don't agree with you politically,
Speaker 2: So why even go there. I don't know, Jay, Maybe
Speaker 2: you believe in something. I don't know. I'm not a
Speaker 2: stand up comedian. I'm a guy in a basement doing
Speaker 2: a podcast. Hoda asked Jay Leno if the current political
Speaker 2: landscape made comedy more of a challenge. Jay Leno said,
Speaker 2: I don't think it's sending tricker. We always said tough times.
Speaker 2: Stuff that used to be the lost now against the law,
Speaker 2: and that's great. Ultimately, it's a bit like a donkey.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you got him in the head with a two
Speaker 2: by four to get its attention, but eventually it'll listen.
Speaker 2: The folks at Billboard recommended some comedy specials for you too,
Speaker 2: stream if you've got some time left on this weekend.
Speaker 2: A lot of football again today, I mean so much
Speaker 2: football this weekend. In in olden times, Thanksgiving weekend would be
Speaker 2: like when I would catch up on movies, or my
Speaker 2: family would binge like The Fast and the Furious movies.
Speaker 2: Now there's just like constant football. There's no time to
Speaker 2: watch anything but football. They really liked Michelle Wolfe's The
Speaker 2: Well and add While Frankie Kenyunias, Damn That's Crazy isn't
Speaker 2: exactly his debut special, it might as well be, since
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one's HBO half hour Super Homies had its
Speaker 2: flow broken up by sketches. They liked. Adam Palace is
Speaker 2: an intimate evening with Adam Palley the idea behind the
Speaker 2: scenes for an evening of cover songs strung together with
Speaker 2: stories and jokes, Except most of the songs don't clear licensing,
Speaker 2: and the stories may or may not be true. You'll
Speaker 2: find that on HBO. Frankie Conunius on Hulu again. You
Speaker 2: you have to decide is Frankie Conunius Worth supporting fascism.
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll eventually release a special on DVD and you
Speaker 2: can watch it that way. Leslie Jones Life Part Two
Speaker 2: is on Peacock. Michelle Wolf's The Well is on Netflix.
Speaker 2: The New York Times profiled Verer DAEs. They caught him boxing.
Speaker 2: Ver Das said, this is the most terrifying thing I've
Speaker 2: ever done. He clarified, working out in front of The
Speaker 2: New York Times. Mister Dawes explained, it's nice to be
Speaker 2: out of breath at a little bruised. It's good prep
Speaker 2: for adversity. The Time says each line follows more or
Speaker 2: less the same format and example. I come from in
Speaker 2: India that has the largest working population under thirty on
Speaker 2: the planet, but still listens to seventy five year old
Speaker 2: leaders with one hundred and fifty year old ideas. Another example,
Speaker 2: I come from in India, where we take pride in
Speaker 2: being vegetarians and yet run over the farmers who grow vegetables.
Speaker 2: They then quoted the joke that got him in some trouble.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to quote it here because it's just
Speaker 2: not what I do. But they point out that Vieri
Speaker 2: didn't think much of posting the joke at the time.
Speaker 2: He posted the video on YouTube and then headed to
Speaker 2: New York with his wife to attend the International Emmy Awards.
Speaker 2: By the time he got back to Mumbai, there was
Speaker 2: a chance he could be arrested. Vier explains, my v's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. So she's on standby, and then
Speaker 2: I have the conversation with my wife, you know, like
Speaker 2: if I get arrested, this is where all the money is.
Speaker 2: Just have this much leftover for legal fees. Here's all
Speaker 2: my cards, use everything, all the logins. Yikes, He says.
Speaker 2: India has embraced me. I have a massive audience. They
Speaker 2: just don't own news channels. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: That is your comedy news for today on a holiday Sunday,
Speaker 2: enjoy the football games and December tomorrow. Wow, see you
Speaker 2: then
