Speaker 1: Calarogus Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny back back in
Speaker 1: a good old USA where I realize there is something
Speaker 1: worse than an Adam Sandler comedy and it's monkey Box.
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna live in Montreal. That stuff's going around.
Speaker 1: Chris Rock was at the Laugh Factory last week. It
Speaker 1: did a set. The performance was unannounced, word spread fast.
Speaker 1: The energy in the room turned to kinetic. People on
Speaker 1: site said Chris Rock's delivery was sharp, his timing impeccable.
Speaker 1: Rock got a standing Oh. People kept their phones down.
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a yonder situation. People are wondering what
Speaker 1: Chris is tuning up for. At Netflix special Oscar host
Speaker 1: Chris Rock didn't say, but apparently he was pretty tight.
Speaker 1: That's cool. Bobby Lee talked about filming the film The
Speaker 1: Wrong Missy. He had a single line of dialogue, which
Speaker 1: is welcome mister and missus Morris, but delivering those words
Speaker 1: words proved challenging due to a conflict with one of
Speaker 1: the film's producer, comedic movie expert Adam Sandler. Bobby Lee said,
Speaker 1: I'm on set feeling good. It's outside Hawaii. Everyone that
Speaker 1: set is a friend of mine. Action and then somebody else. Stop.
Speaker 1: It's Sandler who never comes to set. He comes down,
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, what are you doing? And I go, oh,
Speaker 1: hey Adam, and he goes, what are you doing? Sandler
Speaker 1: didn't feel Bobby Lee's performance was organic enough. I mean,
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler cares about the quality of his films. As
Speaker 1: you know. Sandlor says, do it more natural? Bobby Lee says, okay,
Speaker 1: I do it again. Stop he comes back. Lee explain
Speaker 1: what happens when you're doing one line is the whole
Speaker 1: time when you're watching the scene, all you're thinking about
Speaker 1: is the one line, and you're running through it in
Speaker 1: your mind ten thousand times. People are paying attention to
Speaker 1: a recent episode of the Tim Dillon podcast. Tim was
Speaker 1: suggesting that somebody had shared information about the Jeffrey Epstein case. Now, Tim,
Speaker 1: you never know what's real, what's serious, what's a joke.
Speaker 1: But the media is starting to pick up up. Dylan
Speaker 1: suggested he had dinner with JD. Vance, and as the
Speaker 1: story goes, Vance told him that the Epstein video files
Speaker 1: were just commercial pornography and didn't show any powerful people
Speaker 1: in bad situations. Dylan pushed back, asking, then, why did
Speaker 1: Pam BONDI call it evidence. Keep an eye on that
Speaker 1: developing story from Yahoo Canada. They raved about John Marcos Siresi,
Speaker 1: who told Yahoo Canada sometimes people say, oh, he never misses,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't caption the misses. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: feel like I get lucky. I just know how to
Speaker 1: continue a conversation and come with a point of view.
Speaker 1: The discussion here is about crowd work. I try to
Speaker 1: think of asking the questions that are impolite, to ask
Speaker 1: the ones that you want to. But it's like, well
Speaker 1: that's insane. I think with comedy you're in a safe
Speaker 1: space of like I could say that why does this suck?
Speaker 1: Or how did they die? And just going to the weeds.
Speaker 1: I've a bit that talks about the registered sex Offender
Speaker 1: registry and turns out a lot of countries don't have one,
Speaker 1: and if you start asking about that, you can just
Speaker 1: go from there. I try to push myself to ask
Speaker 1: beyond the regular questions of Montreal. He said, it's advantageous
Speaker 1: to be an American comedian. I have a joke that's
Speaker 1: a riff about RFK Junior and does he get the
Speaker 1: same exact response as in America. No, But the fact
Speaker 1: that it can work in Barcelona is insane because I
Speaker 1: can't tell you anything about Spain. I just found out
Speaker 1: they still have a king. I have a lot of
Speaker 1: negative feelings start my country right now, and Canada is
Speaker 1: more than happy to hear them. He talked about his parents.
Speaker 1: He said, I think one of the benefits I have
Speaker 1: is my father doesn't really watch my stand up and
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't fully comprehend it if he does. My mom
Speaker 1: doesn't mind me being mean, and none of my siblings
Speaker 1: care and my former stepfather so I've never been told
Speaker 1: not to say something. I do get to talk about,
Speaker 1: especially my father, in a way that anyone who has
Speaker 1: a more functional relationship will go. I couldn't possibly express
Speaker 1: that feeling or articulate that, and I consider that one
Speaker 1: of the elements that I have as a stand up
Speaker 1: that's very beneficial to writing material. I'm lucky to have autonomy.
Speaker 1: Great to see him. I'll use the phrase stepping up
Speaker 1: in class, getting more and more known. And he's a
Speaker 1: cool guy. I've we've been a guest on this show twice.
Speaker 1: Great to see Pete. Davidson admits he was concerned about
Speaker 1: not being a very good comedian after getting sober, he
Speaker 1: was on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon said, I
Speaker 1: was nervous about it because maybe I'm not very good,
Speaker 1: or maybe I was so high. I thought I was good.
Speaker 1: I'm weirdly sharper and more aware, so it's more fun,
Speaker 1: Jimmy found said, enjoying it more, Pete said, yeah, when
Speaker 1: people laugh, you feel it, as opposed to just sitting
Speaker 1: there so high, sitting there. Michael Costa weigh in on
Speaker 1: Colbert Gate from Late Night Or. Costa said, of CBS,
Speaker 1: if it's important to you, you would keep it. You'd
Speaker 1: figure it out. Do you know how much BS, CBS, ABCNBC,
Speaker 1: Fox puts out that loses money. It all loses money
Speaker 1: every once in a while, something doesn't. I think they're
Speaker 1: cow telling to Trump. I think everybody is, which is
Speaker 1: what authoritarian leaders want. They silence their critics. Costa speculated
Speaker 1: why the Daily Show hasn't drawn he yet. He said,
Speaker 1: maybe it's a good thing that there's twenty five Daily
Speaker 1: show hosts because it's really easy to point the figure
Speaker 1: out one person in Colbert. They can't just say. Costa
Speaker 1: said this, it's like Colbert, Colbert, Colbert, you know we
Speaker 1: rotate the ball around. I don't know. Maybe that's helpful
Speaker 1: for us. Maybe the Daily Show has flown under the
Speaker 1: radar because we're on cable, because we're not broadcast, because
Speaker 1: when you check into a hotel and you turn the
Speaker 1: TV on, it doesn't just turn to CBSABC or NBC.
Speaker 1: You have to find us. Maybe the Daily Show's in
Speaker 1: a good position because we're on cable and cable's dying
Speaker 1: and they could sell us to Hulu or Netflix. Why
Speaker 1: couldn't you go to Netflix or Amazon Prime and the
Speaker 1: Daily Show's right there. Christa Stefano talked about filling in
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Kimmel. I guess that's two weeks ago now.
Speaker 1: He told Yahoo. Was one of those things where in
Speaker 1: the moment, I was like I got this, and then
Speaker 1: right when the curtains open, they were like, please, welcome
Speaker 1: to your guess, so was christ Stefano. I thought I
Speaker 1: was going to pass out while the anxiety was pushing down,
Speaker 1: just rushed right to my head. His mother was in
Speaker 1: the front row. Normally I don't like having my family
Speaker 1: in the front row because comedy is a very vulnerable thing,
Speaker 1: but I almost felt like a child again. My mom
Speaker 1: was in the front row, and that calmed me down.
Speaker 1: When I saw her, I was like, oh, mom's right there,
Speaker 1: You're safe. It was a very bizarre feeling. He too,
Speaker 1: was in Montreal. I hope you don't get the impox.
Speaker 1: He said. The Montreal Just for Last Comedy Festival is
Speaker 1: my favorite comedy festival in the world. I just love
Speaker 1: how it takes over the city. Yeah, it felt kind
Speaker 1: of normal. Maybe a few less big stars than in
Speaker 1: the past, but in terms of taking over the city,
Speaker 1: that whole downtown area, you knew the festival was there
Speaker 1: like usual. Chris had one of the best parts for me.
Speaker 1: Not only do I get to do my show, then
Speaker 1: you can jump on other comedian shows that maybe they
Speaker 1: live in another part of the country or world and
Speaker 1: you haven't seen them in a while. He says. Toronto
Speaker 1: audiences feel like New York, more blue collar, will laugh
Speaker 1: at that edge. In Montreal, you definitely have to work
Speaker 1: a little harder. They're a little bit more like impress me,
Speaker 1: which I don't mind that. And then Vancouver is more
Speaker 1: like La They're chill. But then I really like cities
Speaker 1: like Winnipeg and Edmonton because people are just getting hammered
Speaker 1: and laughing and everything that routiness where it's almost like, oh, Wow,
Speaker 1: there's going to be a fistfight at my show tonight.
Speaker 1: So we still don't know what CBS will do with
Speaker 1: eleven thirty, But at twelve thirty, Byron Allen is gearing
Speaker 1: up for its new twelve thirty time slot. His company
Speaker 1: is recording one hundred and thirty two new episodes of
Speaker 1: Comics Unleashed. That series started in two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: has only sporadically produced new episodes until twenty fourteen. The
Speaker 1: show had episodes that had been produced between two thousand
Speaker 1: and six and seven. Then it ran between the end
Speaker 1: of the Late Late Show and the beginning of Taylor
Speaker 1: Thomlinson on CBS. They had filmed some new episodes in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Comics Unleashed gets the twelve thirty slot
Speaker 1: September twenty second. Fred Armisen has a new album coming out.
Speaker 1: It's called one hundred sound Effects. It'll be out September
Speaker 1: twenty sixth. The album consists of one hundred and one
Speaker 1: sound Effects, not one hundred, ranging in length from two
Speaker 1: seconds to two minutes. Track names include Needle on Record Band,
Speaker 1: sound Check, sound Guy, and band agreeing for too long?
Speaker 1: Why this good question? Ormison said, I was thinking about
Speaker 1: Haunted House sound effects albums and how fun those seem
Speaker 1: to record. Ralph Barbosa will have a hilarious special August eighth.
Speaker 1: The trailer is out. Got the audio for you here.
Speaker 1: I think the material is pretty good, but as a trailer,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's really that good. As a trailer.
Speaker 1: Hulu really scope down his jokes, so most of the
Speaker 1: editing you're about to hear is from Hulu, not for me,
Speaker 1: especially going from line to line. I didn't make the
Speaker 1: cuts there at all. I did tremble a little music.
Speaker 1: But let's listen to Ralph Barbosa into the break.
Speaker 2: What's up everybody? I'm almost five seven. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: five seven. I wish I was. I would not be
Speaker 2: doing comedy. Why would I need to impress people. I'd
Speaker 2: be grown, you know. But I see a five sixth dude,
Speaker 2: I'll beat his little ass. Yeah coming hama ha. I
Speaker 2: know what I like and what I don't like. I
Speaker 2: like girls who don't wear way too much makeup. And
Speaker 2: you can always tell because when y'all take it off,
Speaker 2: which is like, hey, you're an artists and the liar.
Speaker 2: Girls are really big on traveling nowadays, but that can
Speaker 2: be tough on your pockets. That's why I only go
Speaker 2: out with girls who are here illegally. Y'all have reached
Speaker 2: your final destination. Let's go under the covers where they
Speaker 2: can't find you.
Speaker 1: I also want to say.
Speaker 2: Another thing, man, don't ever leave my show thinking you
Speaker 2: learned something that.
Speaker 1: As I prepped the show, I saw this headline from
Speaker 1: WBOC TV. Now WBOC TV, listen to me. You gotta
Speaker 1: come down with this. Their headline, Ocean City is welcoming
Speaker 1: legendary comedian. Okay, I'm gonna stop there, dear listener, They're
Speaker 1: welcoming legendary comedian. Blank. Who do you think I'm about
Speaker 1: to say? Wrong? Whatever you said, you're wrong. The full
Speaker 1: headline Ocean City is welcoming legendary comedian Tom Poppa. Tom
Speaker 1: Papa doesn't think Tom Papa is legendary. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: You sound insane? Stop with that. Ocean City is welcoming
Speaker 1: hilarious comedian Tom Papa. Great Ocean City is welcoming. Really cool, dude,
Speaker 1: Tom Papa. Great Ocean City is welcoming. Radio host and
Speaker 1: podcaster Tom Papa Great Ocean City is welcoming, really really
Speaker 1: really really funny comedian and TV host Tom Papa great legendary.
Speaker 1: Not everyone's a legend. Stop you sound insane A follo
Speaker 1: up to a story last week, remember the comedian in
Speaker 1: Germany was facing jail time for making an assassination joke
Speaker 1: about a really famous politician. Again, I don't want visits
Speaker 1: from guys at Susan Sunglasses, so I'll let you figure
Speaker 1: out who the politician is. The judge said his joke
Speaker 1: was clear satire. Judge Andrea Wilms handed down the verdict
Speaker 1: and said the posts were clearly recognizable as satire, adding
Speaker 1: she could not discern any intention to disrupt public order.
Speaker 1: She did describe the post as being in bad taste,
Speaker 1: but didn't believe that anyone would feel incited to commit
Speaker 1: a crime after reading such obviously satirical statements. She added,
Speaker 1: in a liberal democracy like Germany, it's desirable for people
Speaker 1: to be able to argue about good and bad opinions.
Speaker 1: I bet they don't cancel late night shows. Meanwhile, a
Speaker 1: comedian has canceled her show at the Fringe Festival due
Speaker 1: to bail conditions imposed after a van was allegedly driven
Speaker 1: into a fence at an arms factory in the city.
Speaker 1: Susan Riddell was going to debut her new show How
Speaker 1: Do You Sleep at Night at the Edinburgh Fringe. However,
Speaker 1: she appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court via video link and
Speaker 1: made no plea to a charge of malicious mischief aggravated
Speaker 1: by having a quote terrorist connection unquote after a van
Speaker 1: was allegedly driven into the fence of a factory on
Speaker 1: July fifteenth, She said on Instagram thanks to everybody was
Speaker 1: shared my fringe show, but unfortunately, due to bail conditions,
Speaker 1: I'm barred from Edinburgh for the foreseeable so I won't
Speaker 1: be doing much show. If you contact the venue you
Speaker 1: can get a refund. Maybe go see the brilliant Amanda
Speaker 1: Dwyer instead. She also shared a link to a charity
Speaker 1: raising money for water tanks in Gaza. Friend of the show,
Speaker 1: Jason Zennemann in The New York Times wrote about alt
Speaker 1: comedy this got a little lost both between Colbert Gate
Speaker 1: and the Montreal Comedy Festival. Jason wrote, if Nathan Fielder
Speaker 1: performed stand up comedy, you might look something like Brent Weinbach.
Speaker 1: It's not only that Weinbach maintains an impenetrable deadpan, or
Speaker 1: seeks out awkward silence, or builds jokes around overly elaborate setups.
Speaker 1: Whose new special Popular Culture on YouTube also exploits the
Speaker 1: central conceit of fielders of the rehearsal, including several bits
Speaker 1: where Windbock prepares for a future event with a practice
Speaker 1: run to get ready for fatherhood. He acts out responses
Speaker 1: to discovering his daughter smoking marijuana. Things get weird. Winebox Hour,
Speaker 1: a very funny collection of eccentric impressions, oddball advice, and
Speaker 1: flights of fancy, would once have been quickly classified as
Speaker 1: alternative comedy. Sounds like that's pretty good, Zenneman writes, sticking
Speaker 1: with that premise, so with the new special from Eddie Peppatone.
Speaker 1: But the term alternative comedy has fallen out of fashion,
Speaker 1: in part because it's become too vague, and yet I
Speaker 1: increasingly find myself missing it. Pepotone projects the chaotic energy
Speaker 1: of a thunderstorm. Jason writes, Pepatone's hour made me laugh
Speaker 1: louder than anything all year, and his cheerfully unhinged, mad
Speaker 1: as hell working class persona meets our current chaotk moment perfectly.
Speaker 1: He should be just right For those reading the news
Speaker 1: today and looking for a comedian to express their exasperation
Speaker 1: with the world, that's some high. I will have to
Speaker 1: catch up on my comedy. I mean, I haven't been
Speaker 1: home at all in between a road trip and Colbert Gate.
Speaker 1: Been super super busy, But I feel like this program
Speaker 1: has been pretty strong lately. So again, I thank you
Speaker 1: for listening every day. I appreciate you, and I'll see
Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
