Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media, Hey, or Johnny Mack with your daily
Speaker 1: comedy news Late Nights Off. This week, Late Bought says
Speaker 1: it's so hot the federal government is thinking of calling
Speaker 1: in the mets to cool things off. It's so hot.
Speaker 1: Nikki Glazer did a twenty minute said about the heat,
Speaker 1: tagged every celebrity she's ever met, and said a personal
Speaker 1: email to Tom Brady, it's so hot that Jim Gaffigan
Speaker 1: finally called me back because he heard I have air
Speaker 1: conditioning and it's so hot. John Mulaney wrote a tight,
Speaker 1: beautifully structured twelve minute bit about it. His ex wife
Speaker 1: heard it and said it was the most attention he
Speaker 1: ever paid to anything. That's from the AI getting savage
Speaker 1: and just murdering. John Mullaney Late Bot chill out. Do
Speaker 1: you have big July fourth weekend plans? Dave Chappelle's summer
Speaker 1: camp is back. If you're in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Davin
Speaker 1: Surprise Guests will perform tonight at eight pm at the
Speaker 1: Weary Pavilion, located in Yellow Springs, about an hour south
Speaker 1: west of Columbus, Ohio. You'll find the place off Meredith Road.
Speaker 1: It being a Chappelle show. The show will be phone free,
Speaker 1: no phone, no smart watch, no accessories. You gotta do
Speaker 1: the stupid, annoying yonder pouch thing they see using a device.
Speaker 1: You will be escorted out. Also, while you're in the area,
Speaker 1: the Little Art Theater in Yellow Springs will be screening
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle Live in Real Life, a documentary that looks
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of the inaugural Summer Camp. My voice
Speaker 1: is giving out, which is not good for holiday weekend production.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about Robbie Hoffman. Now, Robbie Hoffman,
Speaker 1: let's just be Clearlet's take a second here. I'm going
Speaker 1: to slow down because I want you guys pay attention,
Speaker 1: listen to me. I know this is going to be surprising.
Speaker 1: Robbie Hoffman is now full establishment. Okay, if you think
Speaker 1: Robbie Hoffman is like some cool, alt edgy comedian that
Speaker 1: only we know about it, No, Robbie Hoffman got the
Speaker 1: full New York Times magazine profile. Okay, we have mainstreamed
Speaker 1: Robbie Hoffman somehow. The New York Times magazine profiled Robbie
Speaker 1: at Robbie's house. Who said it's weird because you guys said, oh,
Speaker 1: they have to do it at your house because they
Speaker 1: want the person to be comfortable. But you come to
Speaker 1: the house and you totally rip it apart. You want
Speaker 1: me to be comfortable, but the couches where the couches,
Speaker 1: The whole house has moved. They talked about rich weird
Speaker 1: and poor weird. Robbie said, rich weird is way weirder
Speaker 1: and worse because there's a humanity that's missing. My favorite
Speaker 1: is the people like me who grew up poor and then,
Speaker 1: by the grace of God, got some money and now
Speaker 1: it could be like, oh my god, how weird do
Speaker 1: these rich people who've been like this since birth? Small
Speaker 1: things like when you go in a rich person's house
Speaker 1: and nobody's allowed to go on the fridge. The poor
Speaker 1: of much less when you go to their house, they're
Speaker 1: like take, take, take. Whenever I meet a rich person
Speaker 1: and they're actually helpful. I mentioned it. It's worth mentioning
Speaker 1: Star trek run Er paton Oswalt what kind of music
Speaker 1: were you into when you were a kid, and said, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I very much love classic heavy metal, a lot of country,
Speaker 1: and a lot of punk, post punk, all that stuff
Speaker 1: from the nineties, pixies, A lot of Elves Costello, a
Speaker 1: lot of Beastie Boys, a lot of Kinks, and then
Speaker 1: smaller groups no one's heard of, like Warm Soda and
Speaker 1: Bleached Patton. In comedy, when a show's going really well,
Speaker 1: what's the feeling for you in the room? He said,
Speaker 1: The best way to describe it is, I'm outside of
Speaker 1: myself and I'm more connected with the larger crowd, the
Speaker 1: larger feeling of the room. I know this sounds very vague,
Speaker 1: but you don't even thinking about the set or what
Speaker 1: you're doing joke wise or worldwise. You're just talking to
Speaker 1: the audience like they're one person. Best comedy set you
Speaker 1: ever watched? Star Trek growner Patton Oswald said, I remember
Speaker 1: there was a night that Dana Gould was at Cobb's
Speaker 1: Comedy Club in San Francisco. This was in the nineties.
Speaker 1: The material was already amazing, but then he went off
Speaker 1: on some almost hallucinatory riff about Larry King interviewing guests
Speaker 1: in the time space membrane. I can't do it justice,
Speaker 1: but it was one of the most amazing days I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. It's definitely the best set I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Trying to think of best set I ever saw what's
Speaker 1: popping to mind is Ralphie May at the Las Vegas
Speaker 1: Comedy Festival. Now, that same weekend I saw Chris Rock
Speaker 1: who destroyed, and then the next night Jerry Seinfeld went
Speaker 1: up when was even better than Chris Rock. But Ralphie
Speaker 1: that night in a medium size room. That's what popped
Speaker 1: into mind, randomly, without me putting any thought into this.
Speaker 1: If I sit and think about it, I might have
Speaker 1: a different answer. Jeff Foxworthy, how do you describe your style?
Speaker 1: He spoke to McCall dot com Johnny Mack. Is this
Speaker 1: a holiday weekend yet? Is guys coming up on the show?
Speaker 1: Completing its seventh year? We know how the show goes
Speaker 1: by Now I might do an anniversary special. I have
Speaker 1: to think about it. I might do a Letterman styled
Speaker 1: like anti seventh anniversary show July twenty ninth. I don't know,
Speaker 1: We'll see Jeff fox already said, like most comics, when
Speaker 1: I started out, I remember looking at bill boards and
Speaker 1: watching commercials and thinking what can I talk about? I
Speaker 1: learned early on there's a commonality we as human beings have.
Speaker 1: We're all doing the same goofy stuff in life. I've
Speaker 1: always trusted that we're doing this for forty two years.
Speaker 1: But if you go back in time, the first material
Speaker 1: I did was about dating that it was about being
Speaker 1: a newlywed, then about having kids, then having teenagers. If
Speaker 1: you go listen to an old CD or watch a
Speaker 1: special I did, it's almost like a snapshot of what
Speaker 1: was going in my life that year. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: doing anything else. You always hear comedians talk about the
Speaker 1: bad parts of getting older. I thought, I'm going to
Speaker 1: approach it different and talk about all the great things
Speaker 1: about getting older. It's a fun template to turn upside down.
Speaker 1: As you get older. You don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: the cops showing up if you're having a party. That
Speaker 1: is not true. I I had a pool party a
Speaker 1: few years ago and somebody called the cops on us,
Speaker 1: and the cops showed up and the look on their
Speaker 1: face because I was like, I had no idea why
Speaker 1: they were there. I think we had a radio on it,
Speaker 1: like I'll describe it as normal volume, and the cops
Speaker 1: are like, we got a noise complaint. And the cop
Speaker 1: this face just told me that he thought the whole
Speaker 1: thing was stupid, and I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe people were hitting the pool with the pool noodles
Speaker 1: and that made a sound and the cop was like, okay,
Speaker 1: keep it down. Jeff Foxworthy said, if you get older,
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the cops showing up
Speaker 1: at for having a party. If there's flashing lights in
Speaker 1: my driveway, it's usually an ambulance telling you not to
Speaker 1: play twister with people in their eighties. All right, Tomorrow
Speaker 1: on this program, it is July fourth, I've done one
Speaker 1: of those deep dive episodes. It is titled George Carlin
Speaker 1: America's Prophet. Now I'll tell you all you need to
Speaker 1: know about that. One Sunday, I'm planning on doing top
Speaker 1: specials of the year so far. And it is Friday.
Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the Comedy stock Market.
Speaker 1: Comedy stock Market, if you were new to all this.
Speaker 1: Every Friday on the Comedy stock Marker, we take a
Speaker 1: look at which comedians are undervalued, which comedians are overvalued.
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to add a cell here on the fly.
Speaker 1: Based on today's episode. You can probably figure it out.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's buy some John Marcos SERAISI no particular reason.
Speaker 1: While I was listening to him on a podcast recently,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this guy's really really good. He's the goods.
Speaker 1: I've already named him twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year,
Speaker 1: and people still don't know who he is. So buy
Speaker 1: John Marco SIASI, let's buy some more. Ryan Hamilton. You
Speaker 1: guys saw the special. You know it's pretty good. Let's buy.
Speaker 1: Let's sell Louis c K. I mean, what is the
Speaker 1: upside to Louis c K? At this point he puts
Speaker 1: out a special and everybody rehashes stuff over and over. John,
Speaker 1: you did that all week yourself. I know, I don't
Speaker 1: see the value in Louis c K. Let's sell, Let's
Speaker 1: sell even more. N APERGHATSI. This UFC thing is not
Speaker 1: going away. I think the whole thing is ridiculous and overblown.
Speaker 1: And Shane Gillis was there too, and no one cared.
Speaker 1: But if Nate's looking to open up Nate Land and
Speaker 1: people are like, well, you went to a UFC fight
Speaker 1: one time, I don't know, man sell Neighborghatsy, let's sell
Speaker 1: our stock. And Trevor Noah. I kind of see where
Speaker 1: Trevor wants to go with his whole persona. And I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people are gonna want to
Speaker 1: go with him, and I'm not sure that he cares
Speaker 1: and he'll go there anyway. But from a value standpoint,
Speaker 1: let's sell our stock in Trevor Noah. Let's sell James Cordon.
Speaker 1: You know he's hosting show after soccer and there's zero
Speaker 1: buzz on it. Sell Let's buy Ben Gleb. You know
Speaker 1: I kind of eye rolled his late night thing, but
Speaker 1: the numbers have been pretty okay on YouTube. He may
Speaker 1: be onto something. Let's buy some Ben Gleib and the
Speaker 1: late edition. Let's sell Robbie Hoffman. You know, when you
Speaker 1: first see Robbie Hoffman, you're like, oh my god, she's amazing.
Speaker 1: That's so different. That's one thing, but establishment Robbie Hoffman
Speaker 1: having The New York Times over to profile her at
Speaker 1: her place, that's just the opposite of cool. Alright, So
Speaker 1: the recap, we're buying John Marco, we're buying Ryan Hamblintson,
Speaker 1: we're selling Ck, we're selling Nate, we're selling Trevor, we're
Speaker 1: selling Cordon, we're selling Robbie, and we're buying Ben Gleeb.
Speaker 1: That is your comedy stock market for today. If you
Speaker 1: need some stuff to listen to over the weekend. There's
Speaker 1: always daily comedy news, but also Pete Holmes was the
Speaker 1: guest on Comedy Means Business. That's Deadline's podcast. The episodes
Speaker 1: a couple months ago at this point, but I finally
Speaker 1: got around to it this week and it was really
Speaker 1: really good. I like Pete and Everything's about John. Marcus
Speaker 1: Raisi was on Stavi's World. That was also a good listen.
Speaker 1: Website Rittholtz dot com has the headline comedy is Hot.
Speaker 1: They were taking a look at the meteor issue of
Speaker 1: Pollstar and there was a chart for venues with capacities
Speaker 1: of five thousand or less and ritt Holtz discovered comedy
Speaker 1: is on this list. They're right, So starting with the
Speaker 1: two thousand to five thousand capacity venues, number one is
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld, which is not surprising. Number two is DJ Subtronics.
Speaker 1: Three is Berg Kraser, four Christian Contemporary artist Josiah Queen,
Speaker 1: five def Leopard Somehow, six Manheim Steamroller, seven E d
Speaker 1: M Artist K forty s or K forties. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm old, but three thousand people are going to see them,
Speaker 1: so great. Eight Jim Gaffigan nine British comedian Michael McIntyre
Speaker 1: and ten Josh Johnson. Brendan Ayre has announced his debut
Speaker 1: comedy special, the mental health themed Alive and Well, will
Speaker 1: premiere exclusively on the eight hundred pound Gerilla's new streaming service,
Speaker 1: Gorilla Comedy Plus, on July sixth, that's Monday, and the
Speaker 1: special will be available on the YouTube channel August fourth.
Speaker 1: We are told from snakes wearing coats to being bipolar.
Speaker 1: Brendan's laid back, observational style covers both the silly and
Speaker 1: the serious. Courted at the Blend Art Gallery in Portsmouth,
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, he discusses his fatherhood, mental health, the burden
Speaker 1: of owning a cast iron skillet, and more. He told
Speaker 1: Deadline the hour super special to me. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of normal, silly stuff, but I also take on my
Speaker 1: struggles with mental health, which is such an important topic
Speaker 1: to me. I'm really excited to get the special out
Speaker 1: into the world. That is your comedy news for today.
Speaker 1: I hope you have an awesome, awesome weekend. I hope
Speaker 1: Independence Day July fourth is everything all of us want.
Speaker 1: I'm personally disappointed that the USA two fifty is nowhere
Speaker 1: near what the Bisonennial was. If you want my thoughts
Speaker 1: on that, check out my substack link in the notes,
Speaker 1: but it's mcdeepod dot substack dot com. I wrote about
Speaker 1: that about a week ago. But I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: disappointed because the Bisonentennial was amazing. But I hope tomorrow
