Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Johnnie Mack. When you're daily Comedy News, daily
Speaker 2: briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry,
Speaker 2: A sentence the algorithm loves, and boy am I distracted?
Speaker 2: As I was putting the show together. One of the
Speaker 2: last websites I visited was Variety and Variety. He told
Speaker 2: me you two just dropped an EP and I'm a
Speaker 2: huge you two fan. But like, I have to record
Speaker 2: shows because the federal governor would like me to serve
Speaker 2: on jury duty next week, so I gotta work ahead
Speaker 2: a little bit. I can't be listening to six U
Speaker 2: two songs, but I'm so excited about that. All right,
Speaker 2: let's do comedy here. If you listen every day, you
Speaker 2: get my vibe. I do. Try to keep it light.
Speaker 2: And you know, two days already this week has been political.
Speaker 2: So let's start with silly. Okay, this is not the
Speaker 2: biggest story of the world. Let's start with the silly
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle. Remember he was in Minneapolis. Well, he stopped
Speaker 2: by Matt's barr and Grill. He took some selfies with
Speaker 2: some folks. But here's the controversy. It is unclear if
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle had a Juicy Lucy for lunch, or if
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle is aware of the controversy behind the origins
Speaker 2: of the juicy Lucy, which, as you know, is a
Speaker 2: famous burger stuffed with cheese. You see the folks at
Speaker 2: Matt's Bar and Grill, they say they started the Juicy Lucy,
Speaker 2: and they even spell it juc why to prove that
Speaker 2: they are the original. But then there's these guys at
Speaker 2: the five eight Club they say, no, they started it.
Speaker 2: And then if you're in Los Angeles, there's a place
Speaker 2: called Barney's Beanery that apparently has good juicy Lucy's. When
Speaker 2: I hit LA, I'll have to check that out. Did
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle eat a Juicy Lucy or was he secretly
Speaker 2: avoiding a controversy. You know, I'm gonna guess Dave Chappelle
Speaker 2: not afraid of a burger controversy. He probably didn't know,
Speaker 2: or wasn't hungry he didn't care. Now, According to Matt'sbar
Speaker 2: dot Come, shortly after opening in nineteen eighty four, a
Speaker 2: local customer asked for two hamburger patties with a slice
Speaker 2: of cheese in the middle. The customer bit into the
Speaker 2: new molten hot burger and exclaimed, that's one juicy lucy,
Speaker 2: hence the name Matt's. Barr said, customer demand grew so
Speaker 2: quickly we forgot to add the eye, and the juicy
Speaker 2: lucy spelled without the eye has become a local culinary hero.
Speaker 2: And they say, remember, if it's spelled correctly, he might
Speaker 2: be eating a shameless ripoff. John, Are you trying to
Speaker 2: avoid doing politics on the podcast today? Maybe a lot
Speaker 2: of reviews for the new season of Scrubs have come out.
Speaker 2: Looking ahead Sunday on this very program will be a
Speaker 2: Scrub season ten preview. I'm also trying to figure out
Speaker 2: what I want to do. Is I want to do
Speaker 2: recaps of the episodes. But here's the problem. My wife
Speaker 2: wants to watch the show with me, and I've shared before.
Speaker 2: Actually maybe I haven't shared before. I share in the
Speaker 2: future on Sunday. See I'm a time travel here sometimes
Speaker 2: on the podcast. My wife is a physician and she
Speaker 2: was a resident at exactly the time JD and Turk
Speaker 2: were residents, so we would watch this show and totally
Speaker 2: relate to it. She called it the most realistic medical
Speaker 2: show ever up until the Pit. Now you got to
Speaker 2: watch the Pit with her her eyes or just fixated
Speaker 2: on what's going on in every scene, and she'll like
Speaker 2: diagnose along with the er doctors. It's fascinating. But for me,
Speaker 2: who didn't work at a hospital, I recognized all the
Speaker 2: character types from the show, so we always are like Scrubs.
Speaker 2: So that's going to become an US show. But the
Speaker 2: problem is it's going to pair up with the Pit,
Speaker 2: which means we're not going to watch it until Friday night.
Speaker 2: So if I want to do episode recaps, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to record those till Saturday, and they're going to
Speaker 2: come out late. And I don't know, And this is
Speaker 2: one I might have to just eat this. I can't
Speaker 2: just sneak this show and be like, oh, I watched
Speaker 2: Scrubs without you. That's not going to fly. No spoilers
Speaker 2: here now. The reviews, I have not read them because
Speaker 2: I don't want to be biased. I dump them into
Speaker 2: the Wednesday document as the show is back on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: February twenty fifth, So the second half of the show
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, i'll talk about Scrubs, So I will have
Speaker 2: to read those reviews in advance. But just skimming the headlines.
Speaker 2: Some say it's really awesome and some are giving a
Speaker 2: different reviews. We'll see, Zach Braff said, over the years,
Speaker 2: Scrubs had varying tunes. True fans will know. Sometimes it
Speaker 2: was broader, and it kept getting broader. We kind of
Speaker 2: regrounded the show back to where we started in the pilot.
Speaker 2: We still have our fun fantasies, but it's really based
Speaker 2: in reality. It's brought back to ground level. So I'm
Speaker 2: excited for Scrubs coming back. One of my all time faves.
Speaker 2: Oh hey, guess we're going to do politics. Step and
Speaker 2: Colbert mixed it up with CBS again. If you heard
Speaker 2: yesterday's show, Stephen Colbert was upset that he couldn't broadcast
Speaker 2: an interview. CBS put out a statement that said the
Speaker 2: Late Show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the
Speaker 2: interview with Representative Games at Teller Reco. The show was
Speaker 2: provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC
Speaker 2: equal time rule for two other candidates, including Representative Jasmin Crockett,
Speaker 2: and presented options for how the equal time for other
Speaker 2: candidates could be fulfilled. The Late Show decided to present
Speaker 2: the interview through its YouTube channel with on air promotion
Speaker 2: on the broadcast, rather than potentially providing the equal time options.
Speaker 2: Stephen Colbert reacted to that and said, they know damn
Speaker 2: well that every word of my script last night was
Speaker 2: approved by CBS's lawyers, who, for the record, approve every
Speaker 2: script that goes on the air. That's interesting, really has
Speaker 2: that always been true? I'll have to ask the Late
Speaker 2: Night or crew about that one. Were David Letterman script's approved?
Speaker 2: Colbert said, between the monologue I did last night and
Speaker 2: before I did the second act talking about this issue,
Speaker 2: I had to go backstage. I got called backstage to
Speaker 2: get more notes from these lawyers, something that had never
Speaker 2: ever happened before. And they told us the language they
Speaker 2: wanted me to use to describe that equal time exceptions,
Speaker 2: and I use that language. So I don't know what
Speaker 2: this is about. Colbert again said the phrase, I'm grateful
Speaker 2: to have worked for CBS for the last eleven years.
Speaker 2: I'll come back to that. I'm just so surprised that
Speaker 2: this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies.
Speaker 2: Colbert held up the printed out CBS statement and said,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to do with this. Crap.
Speaker 2: Hold on. He then grabbed a doggie bag, No, not
Speaker 2: the kind from the restaurant, the one where you clean
Speaker 2: up after your dog, and he stuffed the paper inside it.
Speaker 2: That got a lot of applause. Now Colbert keeps using
Speaker 2: this phrase or a phrase a lot like it, I'm
Speaker 2: grateful to have worked for CBS for the last eleven years.
Speaker 2: He keeps thanking them, and he keeps saying that, and
Speaker 2: I feel like, maybe, perhaps possibly, John, you're crazy, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right, I am. I'm just making things up. This
Speaker 2: can't possibly be true. Maybe, perhaps possibly some lawyer is
Speaker 2: telling him to do that so he doesn't goof up
Speaker 2: his contract. It just I don't know. He keeps saying
Speaker 2: I'm grateful to have work for CBS for the last
Speaker 2: eleven years or something like that, and I'm noticing it.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just grateful to have worked for CBS for
Speaker 2: the last eleven years. Who knows, Now, Steven, I'll remind
Speaker 2: you CBS is paramount. Paramount makes the horrible New Star
Speaker 2: Trek that you're part of. I think you should be
Speaker 2: a man of principle and walk away from horrible New
Speaker 2: Star Trek. And then I will attempt to forgive you
Speaker 2: for helping to destroy Star Trek, but until you stop
Speaker 2: destroying Star Trek, I have to be aligned with the president.
Speaker 2: Jim Jeffries talked to Rolling Stone Australia. They got political. Hey,
Speaker 2: I talked about a burger for the first five minutes.
Speaker 2: What do you want me to do here? Jim Jeffries said,
Speaker 2: I believe that eighty percent of the population are moderates
Speaker 2: who have left and right wing views. Everybody's got whatever
Speaker 2: the topic is. You have the left wing view and
Speaker 2: a right wing view, and I have the left and
Speaker 2: right wing views, and then ten percent of the population
Speaker 2: is extreme left and ten percent is extreme right slightly,
Speaker 2: so it just topics. It says he got RFK right.
Speaker 2: There should be no chemicals in food. We don't need
Speaker 2: these food dies. McDonald's French fries shouldn't have twenty something
Speaker 2: ingredients in them when other countries don't have all these ingredients.
Speaker 2: A box of mac and cheese shouldn't have thirty more
Speaker 2: ingredients than an Australian box of mac and cheese. Who
Speaker 2: would argue with that? I won't. I mean, I go
Speaker 2: to Europe and I eat and I'm like, how come
Speaker 2: I actually feel good? After eating and then I come
Speaker 2: back here and it's just awful. I've actually been trying
Speaker 2: to avoid gluten. I do agree there's a lot of
Speaker 2: crap in American food, Jim Jeffery said, So it's apparent
Speaker 2: I want all that stuff out of my food, right,
Speaker 2: And then the next daying RFK says is and no vaccines,
Speaker 2: Jim said, my mother in polio, I effing believe in vaccines.
Speaker 2: So it's not the same. Everything's not equal. So the
Speaker 2: left can get on board of taking out all the
Speaker 2: stuff and the food, the right can get on board
Speaker 2: of taking out all this stuff, and then they go
Speaker 2: no vaccines, like it's all one topic that I have
Speaker 2: to believe that autism came because a pregnant woman and
Speaker 2: took tailand all. I don't believe that. I think that
Speaker 2: sounds like BS. And then they wanted to say it
Speaker 2: was because of the vaccines. They obviously couldn't find the evidence.
Speaker 2: Jim continued, I've always considered myself to be a fairly
Speaker 2: right wing Australian in the sense that I believe in
Speaker 2: tight borders, and I'm financially seen to be right wing
Speaker 2: in many perspects, but I'm extremely left wing for an
Speaker 2: American because I believe women should be allowed to do
Speaker 2: what they want with their bodies. I fully believe in
Speaker 2: healthcare for all, I believe in social services and housing
Speaker 2: for all, and those words that I'm saying right now
Speaker 2: to a lot of Americans with socialist programs, I might
Speaker 2: as well be a communist, right I'm the most extreme
Speaker 2: lefty on earth to certain Americans, But in Australia, that
Speaker 2: doesn't make me an extreme lefty, does it. The Mayor
Speaker 2: of Allentown, Matt Chruik, was on Tim Hideker's Office Hours
Speaker 2: with Tim Hideker podcast. The mayor gave Tim Hideker a
Speaker 2: key to the city and said that in Tim's role
Speaker 2: as Allentown's chief cheerleader, Tim needs to urge people to
Speaker 2: return to Allentown. The mayor tried to convince Tim Hideker
Speaker 2: to return to the city himself, explaining, about a year
Speaker 2: ago we opened up a new fifteen hundred seat music
Speaker 2: hall off Hamilton Street. Hamilton Street has seen about a
Speaker 2: billion dollars of investment in the past ten years. You
Speaker 2: wouldn't recognize it from when you were there. Hallidecker reminisced
Speaker 2: about working at a brass rail restaurant in bar location
Speaker 2: that is now a wah wah. The mayor said he
Speaker 2: prefers sheets. By the way. In New Jersey, there's been
Speaker 2: a thing. The sheets stores are starting to creep into
Speaker 2: New Jersey taking on the wah wahs. This is the
Speaker 2: whole thing. And then and then this wahwah vers quick
Speaker 2: check versus seven to eleven. I don't think I've ever
Speaker 2: been to a sheets wah wah has actually a pretty
Speaker 2: good sandwiches. I digress, The mayor said. The farmers market
Speaker 2: is amazing. Brass rails, they are great Korean food. Saturday
Speaker 2: at four o'clock there are eighty year old duchy women
Speaker 2: arguing about the price of meat that's about expired. Sounds
Speaker 2: like crap, but it's amazing. Congratulations to the National Comedy Center,
Speaker 2: named the number one best pop culture museum in the
Speaker 2: country by USA Today. That's right, The NCC was one
Speaker 2: of the twenty institutions nationwide nominated as best in the US.
Speaker 2: But of course the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, New York,
Speaker 2: was named number one. Jerny Gunderson, who was on this
Speaker 2: very program one time, said the national recognition from USA
Speaker 2: Today is a powerful acknowledgment of the extraordinary artists who
Speaker 2: have shaped comedy, the great mind, singular voices and time
Speaker 2: hone creative processes that have elevated this art form throughout
Speaker 2: its history. The JFL Just for Last Vancouver Comedy Festival continues.
Speaker 2: Correspondent Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Podcast went to see
Speaker 2: one of the shows. Mike, take it from here.
Speaker 1: Red Richardson just killed it at the Just for Laughs
Speaker 1: Comedy Festival. I'm at the Review stage on Granville Island,
Speaker 1: very cool room, about one hundred people and Red got
Speaker 1: up there. If you haven't seen Red Richardson, British Schlubby
Speaker 1: got this kind of a very very cool persona character
Speaker 1: that he plays, you know, and he can go anywhere
Speaker 1: from He's a brilliant dullard. That's how I would classify
Speaker 1: Red Richardson. He's a brilliant dullard. Landed every joke that
Speaker 1: he tried to try to tell you, landed them all,
Speaker 1: no matter what. And it's funny. He has the ability
Speaker 1: to make like he did a nine to eleven joke
Speaker 1: and it was so funny. And that's the key. He
Speaker 1: can whether it's cancel culture or nine to eleven. He
Speaker 1: can set up a premise where you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: get serious, and he can make it completely innocent, almost
Speaker 1: very silly, and did some very clever things poking fun
Speaker 1: at crowd work and just you know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to ruin any of the bits, but I would highly
Speaker 1: recommend going to see him on stage. He said that
Speaker 1: he had mostly new material, so he pulled the crowd
Speaker 1: to see if anybody had seen his last outing, and
Speaker 1: some had, and he said, well, this is almost all
Speaker 1: new material, and I think a lot of it could
Speaker 1: be used for a special. It really was a fun show.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Mike Chisholm all right at JFL Vancouver tonight.
Speaker 2: Drew Lynch, he was on the has a Very program
Speaker 2: on Sunday. He's at the Vogue Theater at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: Dylan Adler does a show at seven. Dylan's really good.
Speaker 2: Mike Rita has a show at seven. Jesse Jetski Johnson
Speaker 2: is it the review stage at nine? Vladimir Kamanyo. Now
Speaker 2: here's a guy that I saw at New Faces, like
Speaker 2: I think the very first New Faces I went to.
Speaker 2: So we're talking, oh, fifteen twenty years ago. I thought
Speaker 2: he was going to pop. He was fantastic that night
Speaker 2: and it never really came together for Vladimir Kamanyo. But
Speaker 2: he's got a show at seven thirty. All right, if
Speaker 2: we were in Vancouver tonight, do you go see Drew Lynch,
Speaker 2: Do you go see Dylan Adler? Maybe you go see
Speaker 2: Drew and maybe Dylan will do one more show. Dylan's
Speaker 2: really good, though, that's a tough call tonight. They're both
Speaker 2: early shows, and then I guess for a late show.
Speaker 2: Let's see who Jesse Jetski Johnson is. I'm unfamiliar with
Speaker 2: Jesse Jesske Johnson. We're told Jesse Jetski Johnson is a
Speaker 2: musical school dropout and trumpet player turns down comedian from Phoenix.
Speaker 2: She's a cast member on the kil Tony podcast she
Speaker 2: Is and the Bad Friends podcast with Santino and Bobby Lee. Okay,
Speaker 2: I haven't listened to kill Tony in a bit. Maybe,
Speaker 2: all right, move on, John, Okay, I'll move on on
Speaker 2: Gossip Corner Radar Online. That's a bit of a gossipy website.
Speaker 2: They have the headline Cougar Kathy Griffin's toy boy Hunt
Speaker 2: how man eating comic has already moved on from twenty
Speaker 2: three year old hunk. That's right, Kathy Griffin had been
Speaker 2: dating a twenty three year old man she described as
Speaker 2: an accidental romance. An insider tells Radar Online. Kathy feels
Speaker 2: like she's in her thirty She wants to have fun
Speaker 2: and live fully and isn't done finding someone who makes
Speaker 2: her heart race now at the end of twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five with check your calendar is not that long ago.
Speaker 2: Kathy told People Magazine, my divorce took me out. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna lie. Some people were like, I was glad
Speaker 2: I got rid of them, and I've never felt better.
Speaker 2: I was down for the count. It was harder than cancer.
Speaker 2: Kathy Griffin is sixty five years old. Don't act like
Speaker 2: he didn't want me to throw that piece of information
Speaker 2: out there. And from the Korean June Gang Daily say
Speaker 2: it with me. You're home for comedy news comedian Roe
Speaker 2: hung Chull is under fire. Apparently Roe hung Chull posted
Speaker 2: some photos with some lions while visiting an animal park
Speaker 2: in Tanzania. So as the story goes, Roe posted on
Speaker 2: Insta in January after visiting Servil Wildlife a safari park
Speaker 2: in Tanzania. He captured it trying to touch the tip
Speaker 2: of a sleeping lion's fur. I've seen the photo and
Speaker 2: he's kind of laying down, kind of near a lion.
Speaker 2: He also posted a video of himself walking alongside an
Speaker 2: awake lion. Some animal welfare activist questions whether the lion
Speaker 2: appeared to be sedated, raising suspicions that the experience involved
Speaker 2: tranquilizing the animal to make a docile for close contact encounters.
Speaker 2: An African travel agency specializing in tourst of the region
Speaker 2: also criticized Rose photos, writing does this lot Does this
Speaker 2: lion look normal? No matter how you try to package
Speaker 2: it as a f retail moment with a sleeping lion,
Speaker 2: this animal appears drugged. Rowe addressed the issue on Instagram
Speaker 2: on Sunday, writing, ethical wildlife encounters I visited after reviewing
Speaker 2: keywords such as Tanzanian government oversight, health, treatment, recovery, and
Speaker 2: release into natural habitats. But I'm hearing other perspectives as well,
Speaker 2: he has if the concerns are valid, I will of
Speaker 2: course take part, implying he would take responsibility if necessary.
Speaker 2: The post also included pictures of him feeding a giraffe.
Speaker 2: That is your comedy news for today. I have to
Speaker 2: go listen to a U two EP see tomorrow
