Speaker 1: Callaroga Shock Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
Speaker 2: the daily Briefing on stand up comedy comedians, on the
Speaker 2: comedy industry. A sentence the Algorithm loves Margaret Joe posted
Speaker 2: Louis c K should have just had an OnlyFans so
Speaker 2: people could just pay to watch him, you know, do
Speaker 2: ck stuff instead of subjecting female comics to it. Missed
Speaker 2: financial opportunity. Eric Duggans on Substack ask the question does
Speaker 2: Louis CK's new Netflix special and high profile concert appearance
Speaker 2: signal Hollywood has turned its back on the me too
Speaker 2: movement it once championed. Case you missed the headline, Netflix
Speaker 2: has invited Louis Ck to headline a show at the
Speaker 2: Netflix as a Joe Comedy Festival. Louis will also have
Speaker 2: a special on Netflix later this year. Eric Duggans rights.
Speaker 2: Some people have suggested that it's difficult to know how
Speaker 2: to handle someone like Louis c K, who was still
Speaker 2: relatively young and capable of creating a lot more projects.
Speaker 2: He's been away from most mainstream metricy it for years,
Speaker 2: They might say, isn't that enough? Eric writes, For me,
Speaker 2: it's much less about how long they've been gone than
Speaker 2: what they've done to earn their way back into mainstream
Speaker 2: show business. Besides proving how much money they can make
Speaker 2: someone Eric, I will tell you right now, that's always
Speaker 2: the answer, like always welcome to show business, Eric Wrights.
Speaker 2: Has c K fully admitted how he's harassed women in
Speaker 2: the past. Did he apologize directly and publicly to them?
Speaker 2: Has he helped any of the women who spoke honestly
Speaker 2: about what he did and saw their careers atomized afterwards.
Speaker 2: Hollywood prefers to avoid the kinds of admissions which can
Speaker 2: bring lawsuits and morals classes. Instead, the big business of
Speaker 2: entertainment would much prefer situation where store stays underground until
Speaker 2: the social blowback has passed, emerging with a tale of
Speaker 2: redemption and renewal just in time to sell tickets, streams, memberships,
Speaker 2: and more. Already, Luis c K has won a Grammy
Speaker 2: for Best Comedy Album in twenty twenty two, and it's
Speaker 2: a sure bet will be a contender when these new
Speaker 2: Netflix special gets released as an album. By turning up
Speaker 2: blind eye to all the rumors about him, all these
Speaker 2: gatekeepers created a situation where women harassed by him speak
Speaker 2: out publicly and loudly, just to force the industry to
Speaker 2: handle it. The too Much TV substack ads as if
Speaker 2: there were ever a booking that was more on brand
Speaker 2: for Netflix, it's headlining a guy who is admitted to
Speaker 2: doing stuff in front of female employees and co workers, because,
Speaker 2: as he put it in recent performances, when you're really
Speaker 2: good at something, you want to show it off. They write,
Speaker 2: it's just the latest example of Netflix's decision that it's
Speaker 2: nearly impossible for comic to be so unpleasant, so racist,
Speaker 2: so misogynistic that it might cost them a shot on
Speaker 2: a worldwide streaming platform. Star Trek Ruiner Patton Oswald has
Speaker 2: announced a new special. It is called Ruining Star Trek
Speaker 2: t and Scotch. It will be ru on the eight
Speaker 2: hundred pound Gerrilla's YouTube channel eight pm Eastern Time, Tuesday,
Speaker 2: June ninth. T and Scotch offers new takes from Patton
Speaker 2: Oswald on parenting, living with a caatecies, ghosts, yard cleaning videos,
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, and more. Patton Oswald is tall deadline. I've
Speaker 2: never felt more overwhelmed, terrified, and desperate, so of course
Speaker 2: my material is the funniest it's ever been, we're reminded
Speaker 2: that Patton Oswald is an Emmy and Grammy Award winning comedian, actor, writer,
Speaker 2: and producer. Oswald has been working as a stand up
Speaker 2: since the late eighties and the decades since. He's released
Speaker 2: ten specials and helped to ruin Star Trek by playing
Speaker 2: Doug the Vulcan. Patton Oswalt will soon be starring alongside
Speaker 2: Jake Johnson and Ben Stiller in Apple's pick aball comedy
Speaker 2: The Dink, which comes out July twenty fourth. Speaking of
Speaker 2: Star Trek ruiner, Stephen Colbert's show is coming to an end.
Speaker 2: Stephen Colbert helped ruin Star Trek by voicing the computer
Speaker 2: on that horrible, horrible Starfleet Academy show. We now know
Speaker 2: what CBS will do with the eleven thirty five PM slot.
Speaker 2: They're not even going to run one single rerun of Colbert.
Speaker 2: Colbert ends on Thursday May twenty first. That very next night,
Speaker 2: Friday May twenty second, at eleven thirty five PM, if
Speaker 2: you put on CBS, you will see Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed,
Speaker 2: the comedy panel show Byron Allen created in two thousand
Speaker 2: and six. It will move from twelve thirty seven AM
Speaker 2: on CBS to eleven thirty five. So What's gonna air?
Speaker 2: Twelve thirty seven? Another program from Alan Media, this one
Speaker 2: called Funny You Should Ask. I had to look this up.
Speaker 2: It's got a five point two rating on IMDb. That's
Speaker 2: out of ten, and you can watch it for free
Speaker 2: on two B. Well, it's twelve thirty seven Funny you
Speaker 2: Should Ask, Future's former extra correspondent John Kelly hosting a
Speaker 2: comedy game show that features a panel of comedians interacting
Speaker 2: with two contestants who have a chance to win cash
Speaker 2: if they can read between the lines of the comics jokes.
Speaker 2: For example, you could have watched season nine, episode forty eight,
Speaker 2: which aired February twenty seven, twenty twenty six, that starred
Speaker 2: Jamie Kennedy, Cheryl Underwood, Adam Carolla, Byron Allen, Natasha Lazio,
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Walker. Cheap to produce? Yeah, why not? I
Speaker 2: don't know. I just find it all also disappointing. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm a broadcasting guy. I grew up in radio. I
Speaker 2: caught the last five minutes of the Golden Age of radio.
Speaker 2: I worked with people who worked in radio during World
Speaker 2: War Two, So like I appreciate all this stuff, and
Speaker 2: it's just like, yeah, whatever, let's just run Byron Allen
Speaker 2: Crab who cares. I mean, it's even more disappointing than
Speaker 2: if they had totally punted and we're like, yeah, let's
Speaker 2: just run CSI reruns, like at least. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just this doesn't sit well with me. I'm just old.
Speaker 2: Chloe Fyneman started talking about a job she had once
Speaker 2: been fired from. As I understand things, Chloe Fyneman said,
Speaker 2: when she was sixteen, she was working as a camp counselor.
Speaker 2: She was fired after pulling down the pants of a
Speaker 2: young camper during a hike. She explained the child had
Speaker 2: repeatedly lifted her shirt as a prank. She decided to retaliate.
Speaker 2: I'm told. As she told the story, her castmates, which
Speaker 2: included mikey Day, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padia, Jane Wickline, and
Speaker 2: James Austin Johnson, appeared visibly uncomfortable. Chloe said the child
Speaker 2: was around six years old and admitted the situation escalated
Speaker 2: what have became obvious he wasn't wearing underwear. The criticism
Speaker 2: comes from many viewers arguing the anecdote was presented too
Speaker 2: casually for something involving a child and a humiliating public incident.
Speaker 2: So after I recorded that section you just heard, I
Speaker 2: found the clip and I have learned that Vanity Fair
Speaker 2: has pulled the clip down. But let's listen to the
Speaker 2: clip that I just explained to you. I think it'll
Speaker 2: give you a lot more context. And because this is
Speaker 2: an audio podcast, what you won't see are the faces
Speaker 2: of her cast mates. And the faces are real bad.
Speaker 2: Everybody's face is like, what are you doing? Stop talking?
Speaker 2: It's really bad. But here, let's listen to Chloe Finneman.
Speaker 1: No. I was fired as a camp counselor for hitting
Speaker 1: on the camp is no pants a boy?
Speaker 3: Oh honey, I think you're on a list.
Speaker 1: And he wasn't wearing underpants. And then a giant school
Speaker 1: bus drove by and they were like, you can't because
Speaker 1: he would he would lift my shirt all the time.
Speaker 2: And it was Berkeley. How old was the child?
Speaker 3: He was like six?
Speaker 1: No, it was a different time. Like he would he
Speaker 1: would be like, hey, can I hug And I'd go
Speaker 1: to hug him and he like lift my shirt like
Speaker 1: a dick. And then I was like I'm going to
Speaker 1: get back at you. And so we were on a
Speaker 1: hike and I was like, hey, Ollie.
Speaker 3: Go look over there.
Speaker 1: It's a hawk. He looked, and then I yanked his
Speaker 1: pants down. He wasn't wearing underwear. His little dingling was out.
Speaker 1: And then these two twins were like, oh, I didn't
Speaker 1: really you didn't wear wear, And then I was fired.
Speaker 2: Jones made some headlines after appearing on z Way's podcast.
Speaker 2: Ze Way asked Leslie Jones if Leslie could ever embrace
Speaker 2: the traditional wife lifestyle. Leslie Jones said, absolutely not, because
Speaker 2: that's not who the f I am. And my dad
Speaker 2: he didn't raise me like that. My dad used to
Speaker 2: literally say that to me. I didn't raise you to
Speaker 2: be somebody's wife. Jones continued, saying, most of the people
Speaker 2: that I know have gotten married or divorced. Now I
Speaker 2: think marriage is legalized slavery. Ze Way asked for more
Speaker 2: about that. Jones said, especially if he's expecting you to
Speaker 2: be a tradwife, it might as well pull out a
Speaker 2: whip and chain. I don't think it's beneficial for a
Speaker 2: woman at all. Don't get married. I thought this week's
Speaker 2: snl USA was terrible, Like really really bad. I didn't
Speaker 2: even make it through a update. The UK one was
Speaker 2: way better, Peacock finally posting the episodes in a normal hour.
Speaker 2: I watched both episode three and episode two on Sunday night.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good sketches in there. If you
Speaker 2: watch the show, you know the way one would watch
Speaker 2: SNL with the full rhythm of cold open, credit monologue,
Speaker 2: pre recorded sketch. You know how SNL goes. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think the week spot on SNL UK is actually the news,
Speaker 2: but it's only been three weeks. My tip there to
Speaker 2: the two newscasters pick up the pace a little. I
Speaker 2: was playing a bunch of video games and catching up
Speaker 2: on my podcasting What were you playing, John, We're curious.
Speaker 2: Let's say I was playing MLB the show. I played
Speaker 2: a bunch of games of NHL twenty six, mostly those two,
Speaker 2: and I was listening to Joe Rogan's interview with Theovon.
Speaker 2: As I've said on the podcast before, and I will
Speaker 2: say again, I like Joe Rogan's podcast because I'm a
Speaker 2: smart person. I understand what Joe Rogan's podcast is. It's
Speaker 2: just a conversation. I don't think it's an education at all,
Speaker 2: and I also like that volume wise, it's usually pretty even.
Speaker 2: There's not much yelling on the Joe Rogan Experience, which
Speaker 2: I like. I don't like these podcasts that are all
Speaker 2: over the place volume wise. But one takeaway I really
Speaker 2: had from listening to that episode Joe Rogan's not smart.
Speaker 2: And you know who's even less smart than Joe Rogan? Theovon.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just listened to this thing, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: is this a real conversation? I think part of it
Speaker 2: is Rogan does zero prep. At one point I was
Speaker 2: listening and he was like, how many astronauts are going
Speaker 2: around the moon? Ten? Ten? Joe? Did you really think
Speaker 2: ten astronauts are going around the moon? But theovon he
Speaker 2: listened to theo Von, this is just like whoa. THEO
Speaker 2: got a lot of backlash for his appearance on Rogan's podcast.
Speaker 2: He jumped on social media and said it was very
Speaker 2: hard for me to be angry and talk at the
Speaker 2: same time. Some people were upset by comments made by theovon,
Speaker 2: which I'll clean up here. THEO sat approximately, I'm sick
Speaker 2: of rich people not putting their fing kids over in
Speaker 2: these wards. Put your and he used a pejorative for
Speaker 2: white people kids up there. Let them go shed some
Speaker 2: effing blood. That got some backlash. THEO went on Twitter
Speaker 2: and wrote, I mean the elites and the politicians that
Speaker 2: are leading us into these wars might make different choices
Speaker 2: if it was their children. I'm thankful to our troops
Speaker 2: who serve and are far braver than me. Also, wtf
Speaker 2: do I know? In a separate post, he wrote, I
Speaker 2: was angry and kind of scared. I wouldn't even have
Speaker 2: the freedom of speech if all types of people braver
Speaker 2: than me hadn't sacrificed for it.
Speaker 3: Fassi fun in the street, Gossip Conna, Bobby, Bobby, Gossip Conna,
Speaker 3: where the meeting with Johnny. It's as a tree.
Speaker 2: We haven't been on gossip Corner in a while, but
Speaker 2: here we are. And yes, Gossip Corner is about Pete Davidson,
Speaker 2: who has put his North Salem, New York property on
Speaker 2: the market, reportedly for two point two seven million dollars,
Speaker 2: according to Mansion Global. He purchased the four bedroom, three
Speaker 2: bathroom home, located about ninety minutes from New York City,
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three for one point nine to five
Speaker 2: million dollars. It's on six acres of property. I'm from Queen's.
Speaker 2: I don't know how much that is. Is that big
Speaker 2: sounds big? Ay? He tells me. An acre visually is
Speaker 2: about seventy five to nine percent of an American football field.
Speaker 2: All right, so Pete's got say five football fields worth
Speaker 2: of property up there. Pete had previously said about the property,
Speaker 2: it's literally like living in paradise. The thing I hated
Speaker 2: about living in the city all the time was I'd
Speaker 2: wake up to so much noise, whether it be garbage
Speaker 2: being picked up, or people fighting, or your neighbors or
Speaker 2: whatever's going on the street. In North Salem. I would
Speaker 2: wake up naturally and I wouldn't feel a thing. It
Speaker 2: was the most special feeling. Pete added a guesthouse, movie room, pool,
Speaker 2: hot tub, cold plunge tool, sauna, and screened in porches
Speaker 2: to the property. He has also sold his condo in
Speaker 2: Saint George Staten Island. Pete Davidson is renting a Brooklyn brownstone.
Speaker 2: He also co owns a ferry. While on Gossip Corner,
Speaker 2: Chris Rock spotted doing some PDA. That's right. The paparazzi
Speaker 2: were out and they saw a sixty one year old
Speaker 2: Chris Rock a photographed with a woman identified as Simone.
Speaker 2: In photos, Chris Rock and Simone were walking side by
Speaker 2: side for a daytime stroll. They even stopped to share
Speaker 2: a kiss while sitting on a park bench. Kevin kellem
Speaker 2: as a special out. You may know Kevin if you're
Speaker 2: out of Chicago, he's there on Q one oh one.
Speaker 2: In his new special, Kevin pours his heart into mutually
Speaker 2: shared anxieties, being the Black Sheep and what it's like
Speaker 2: to experience heartbreak when you're lying on the air. Filmed
Speaker 2: during the Windy City Comedy Festival at Lincoln Hall. You'll
Speaker 2: find Kevin callems special on YouTube and band camp. Let's
Speaker 2: chick in. On the Melbourne Comedy Festival, The Scoop went
Speaker 2: to see Hannah Gatsby's show The Evening Muse. Described as
Speaker 2: a talk show wrapped in a comedy show wrapped in
Speaker 2: an existential crisis. Hannah's show got four and a half
Speaker 2: stars out of five. The Scoop says Gatsby's performance is
Speaker 2: chaotic and self aware, blending razor ridge wit with disarming vulnerability.
Speaker 2: We're told few comics mind discomfort, intellect and absurdity, so
Speaker 2: masterfully The Merlin Theater at Melbourne's Waalds House Theater complex
Speaker 2: is lovingly decked out with an aesthetic similar to the
Speaker 2: Tonight Show. Comfy couches a desk for the host, complete
Speaker 2: with an Emmy an old school applau sign. The first
Speaker 2: half of the evening takes the form of a stand
Speaker 2: up show. Gatsby refers to that as the bulk Chat.
Speaker 2: The second half morphs into a talk show meets quiz show.
Speaker 2: Hannah Gatsby brings fellow comedians, in this case Abby Howl's
Speaker 2: and Emma Holland onto the stage. I believe the guests
Speaker 2: change every night to your stories and tackle trivial pursuit questions.
Speaker 2: The Scoop says what follows is delightful pandemonium, utterly unpredictable
Speaker 2: and wildly whimsical. And The Guardian collected stories from performers
Speaker 2: at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Rich Hall told one
Speaker 2: you may remember Rich Hall if you're ancient like me.
Speaker 2: Rich Hall was on Saturday Night Live. Remember that guy?
Speaker 2: Remember sniglets. If you're old, you do. If you're young,
Speaker 2: you're like, what are you talking about? Yeah? Rich Hall
Speaker 2: doesn't make the anniversary specials rich told The Guardian. I
Speaker 2: was part of the great debate a town hall. The
Speaker 2: topic was money is the root of all evil. At
Speaker 2: some point I invoked the biblical metaphor from Matthew quote
Speaker 2: it is easier for a camel to pass through the
Speaker 2: eye of a needle than a rich man enter heaven.
Speaker 2: On paper looks dicey, but I figured we should at
Speaker 2: least give the camel a stab at it. I love this.
Speaker 2: The director, who never met a comic challenge he didn't like,
Speaker 2: made a few calls and secured a camel. They coasted
Speaker 2: it into the town hall. The camel pronated, I climbed
Speaker 2: on his back. The camel stood up. I think my
Speaker 2: head touched the roof. Someone held a needle in front
Speaker 2: of the camel's nose. Rich Hall said something like gideup.
Speaker 2: The camel did not pass through the eye of a needle.
Speaker 2: Rich Paul says it looked a little ticked off, to
Speaker 2: be honest. Turns out Matthew was pretty accurate on this one.
Speaker 2: And that is your comedy news for today. Don't forget
Speaker 2: to vote for Comedy Survivor. We're down to three. Who
Speaker 2: will be the comedy Survivor? Will it be Nicki Glazer,
Speaker 2: John Mulaney or Sarah Silverman. It's up to you. Go
Speaker 2: to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. There
Speaker 2: you'll find a picture of me and last week's eliminated comedian.
Speaker 2: Yes I phrased that correctly, Sebastian Manascalgo in that thread,
Speaker 2: you write down a name, You vote somebody off The Island.
Speaker 2: Comedy survivor Daily Comedy News Podcast group meets you back
Speaker 2: here in the morning.
