Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news,
Speaker 1: Late Night Back, and Steven Colbert came out of the
Speaker 1: box firing it some good ones. One. Because of the
Speaker 1: electoral college, the election could come down in just seven states. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to come down to Michigan, Wisconsin, Denial, anger, bargaining, depression,
Speaker 1: and acceptance Colbert again. One reporter describes the seven state
Speaker 1: race as the equivalent of a knife fight in a
Speaker 1: phone booth. See a knife fight in a phone booth
Speaker 1: is notoriously difficult because it involves close quarters and finding
Speaker 1: a phone booth Colbert. One. More, Harris is particularly popular
Speaker 1: with women, while Trump is ahead among men, leading some
Speaker 1: to call this the boys versus Girls election. And remember
Speaker 1: many Trump voters are not vaccinated against cooties. Great stuff there.
Speaker 1: This next joke, I don't know how this made it
Speaker 1: to air. Really, Jimmy Fallon writers, this is what you got.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon talking about Joey Chestnut eating eighty three hot
Speaker 1: dogs in a contest. Fallon went with us on the show.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Three hot dogs in ten minutes.
Speaker 1: That's basically me at every wedding when they pass out
Speaker 1: pigs in a blanket. Ha ha ha. Thanks Uncle Jimmy.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he told it better. Seth Myers with a
Speaker 1: good one. Did you see the Russian spy Harness well
Speaker 1: passed away? Seth said, even crazier. It died after falling
Speaker 1: out an eight story window. Are you ready for some football?
Speaker 1: It's Chiefs Ravens tonight, It's Chiefs. I know that for sure. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is the Ravens. The Kansas City Chiefs, World's largest
Speaker 1: tailgate will return. Rob Rigel will co host the event.
Speaker 1: Rigel a well known Chiefs fan. Good guy. I've worked
Speaker 1: with him more than once. The tailgate games lineup includes
Speaker 1: the Sauce Relay, the two Minute Drill, Coaches Cheeseburger Challenge,
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs Cup. Give us some details, Johnny mack okay,
Speaker 1: I will. The Sauce Relay is a relay race in
Speaker 1: which participants will traverse an obstacle course while carrying containers
Speaker 1: of barbecue sauce. At the finish line, competitors will pour
Speaker 1: the remaining sauce into a bucket, and the team with
Speaker 1: the heaviest bucket when the timer runs out wins. That's fun.
Speaker 1: The two Minute Drill is a passing challenge where participants
Speaker 1: where homes with blacked out visors and they have to
Speaker 1: attempt to complete as many passes into cardboard cutouts as
Speaker 1: possible in two minutes. The coaches at Cheeseburger Challenge, you
Speaker 1: can't use your hands. You have to assemble a cheeseburger
Speaker 1: using your partner's hands from behind them. The competitor who's
Speaker 1: using their hands will be blindfolded. The competitor in front
Speaker 1: has to guide their partner. You know, that just seems
Speaker 1: like an excuse to have a pretty lady be your partner,
Speaker 1: and you'd be like, Oh, I'll wear the blindfold. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know what's going on there. Fellas, Been there, done that.
Speaker 1: Chiefs Cup a variation on the traditional Flip cup competition
Speaker 1: where the cups get progressively larger throughout the game. Before
Speaker 1: you can begin flipping your cup, you have to dump
Speaker 1: a cup full of confetti on your head. The first
Speaker 1: team to flip all its cups wins. Okay, there's more.
Speaker 1: There's BBQ and a Ask Me Anything style interview segment
Speaker 1: with Chiefs players answering questions over a rack of Kansas
Speaker 1: City ribs with no napkins in sight. Chiefs Trivia. We
Speaker 1: can figure out what that is. Chiefs Cup Challenge players
Speaker 1: try their hand at Chiefs Cup to see who could
Speaker 1: register through the fastest time. Adam Sandlor is a major Swifty,
Speaker 1: we learned, and he was on Travis Kelsey's podcast. You
Speaker 1: might know. Travis Kelsey plays for the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: and dates Taylor Swift. See how this all came together.
Speaker 1: There very nice Well's lot of John You're welcome. Sandler
Speaker 1: and the Kelsey brus started talking about Taylor Swift. Adam
Speaker 1: Sandler said, by the way, what a girl. What a girl?
Speaker 1: Travis said, you know it, best performer out here. Sandler said,
Speaker 1: she means so much to our house. The kids were
Speaker 1: little and we were listening to Taylor Swift. It was
Speaker 1: one of the first times that he listened to every
Speaker 1: song on the record. When I was a kid, the Beatles,
Speaker 1: you did that with maybe Elton John every tune. They
Speaker 1: know every word. I love listening to her in the car.
Speaker 1: I love what she has to say, every message, every melody,
Speaker 1: the production. What she meant to young girls, what she
Speaker 1: means to women, what she means to guys doing the
Speaker 1: right thing in life. Sandler said, someone asked me who
Speaker 1: I get nervous around. I said, I do get nervous
Speaker 1: around Taylor Swift because I don't want to blow it
Speaker 1: from my kids and say something stupid. He then said,
Speaker 1: to Travis, you being together the photo of when you
Speaker 1: first started dating. My family was like, yes, look how
Speaker 1: good they are together. He's a gentleman, and she's having
Speaker 1: so much fun with him. At anytime Taylor's laughing with you.
Speaker 1: My whole family is high fiving. Mi. San Antonio caught
Speaker 1: up with Joe Coy. All right, Scott Beckett, fan of
Speaker 1: the show, not a fan of a particular bit. I've
Speaker 1: already mentioned Taylor Swift, and I mentioned Joe Coy. You
Speaker 1: know where this is head and buddy, right, I mean
Speaker 1: you could just it pause now because it's inevitable today.
Speaker 1: My san Antonio article says that earlier this year, audiences
Speaker 1: were unkind to Joe Coy after he fell short as
Speaker 1: host of the Golden Globes. Wow, sounds like it was
Speaker 1: pretty rough. What could have possibly happened? Well, Joe made
Speaker 1: a joke about Taylor Swift and it didn't go so well.
Speaker 1: Let's listen. A big difference between the Golden Globes and
Speaker 1: the NFL on the Golden Gloves, we have fewer climber
Speaker 1: shots of Taylor Swift. Joe Coy didn't let it bother him.
Speaker 1: He says, you can only get inspired when you hang
Speaker 1: around inspirational people. Negative stuff always brings you down. My
Speaker 1: San Antonio asked Joe Coy, when you think of San Antonio,
Speaker 1: what's the first thing that comes to mind? Joe Coy said,
Speaker 1: to be stupid if I didn't say the Alamo. Right.
Speaker 1: One of the coolest things I did in San Antonio
Speaker 1: was with my son. I had no idea you guys
Speaker 1: did live re enactments. He was about seventeenth the time
Speaker 1: and told my son, let's go next thing we knew.
Speaker 1: We heard gunshots. It was a lot of fun. Joe Cooy,
Speaker 1: how would you describe your year overall? I've loved everything
Speaker 1: about it, the upside, the downs, but everything puts everything
Speaker 1: in perspective. You can't enjoy your wins unless you go
Speaker 1: through things. So I love where we're at now. The
Speaker 1: Life from Brooklyn special is amazing. Now we're preparing for
Speaker 1: a second special for Netflix. Oh. They asked him about
Speaker 1: the Golden Globes again. He said, I just enjoyed the
Speaker 1: position I was in with my family and my fans,
Speaker 1: and seeing all the big wigs that come, like Kevin
Speaker 1: Hart and Seth and Whoopee and Jamie Fox. It was
Speaker 1: an amazing time to have your peers with you. He
Speaker 1: talked about it being a difficult gig. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I could go on forever, but it was so last second.
Speaker 1: Kim will get six months to do the oscars and
Speaker 1: I got about ten days. Would you do it again?
Speaker 1: Everything's worth a shot, but it's never been a lifelong
Speaker 1: goal of mine. Host an awards show, I think stand
Speaker 1: up has always been my dream and I'm living my dream,
Speaker 1: so everything else would just be a bonus. Joekoi talked
Speaker 1: about being a zaddy. My san Antonio was like, you
Speaker 1: have to have some kind of swagger, a sex piel. No,
Speaker 1: Joe said, I think that's on the eye of the beholder.
Speaker 1: My san Antonio said the most famous zaddies right now
Speaker 1: were Jeff Goldblum and Pedropus Gal you were at their
Speaker 1: level of zattiness. Joe Coy said, hell yeah, I vote
Speaker 1: me in the same level. And then for some reason
Speaker 1: they asked him who should play jd Vance and Tim
Speaker 1: Walls on Saturday Night Live, weird question. You guys were
Speaker 1: crushing it. You shouldn't have tagged with this question. Joe
Speaker 1: Coy said, you know, it sucks that we don't have
Speaker 1: the Phil Hartman's and the Dana Carvey's anymore. That's my generation.
Speaker 1: I don't know who can pull it off, but it's
Speaker 1: always funny when they do it. SNL always rips those
Speaker 1: people apart. They're gonna crush it. I think it'd be
Speaker 1: funny if Will Ferrell came in and did something. Hassan
Speaker 1: Minhaj is just getting another special for Netflix. This one
Speaker 1: will be out October twenty second. It is called Off
Speaker 1: with His Head in Hassan Minhaj, Off with his Head.
Speaker 1: Hassan Minhaj is back in full force. We see him
Speaker 1: tackling politics, misguided self improvement, and the challenges of life
Speaker 1: with young kids and aging parents. Donald Trump taking shots
Speaker 1: at Joe Rogan. Trump was on Lex Friedman's podcast, which
Speaker 1: is just a bizarre podcast. It's super popular, but it's
Speaker 1: just weird that it even exists. Lex Friedman asked Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: what's the beef with Joe Rogan brought up a truth
Speaker 1: social post where Trump wrote, I wonder how loudly Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan gets booed the next time he enters a UFC ring.
Speaker 1: Trump had written that right after Rogan had announced that
Speaker 1: RFK made sense to him. That was before r FK
Speaker 1: pull out of the race and decided with Trump. Friedman
Speaker 1: has said, well, he said some nice things about RFK, Junior,
Speaker 1: you said some not some nice things about Joe. I
Speaker 1: think that was a bit unfair. Trump said, I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any intention, And I've always liked him, but
Speaker 1: I don't know him. I think he's good at what
Speaker 1: he does, but I don't know about doing his podcast.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess i'd do it. You would do
Speaker 1: it in a heartbeat. Are you kidding me? Get out
Speaker 1: of here. You do it in two seconds. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess I do it. But I haven't been asked,
Speaker 1: and I'm not asking him. I'm not asking anybody. Rogan
Speaker 1: has said that he's turned down several requests from Trump's
Speaker 1: camp to have Trump on. Rogan told Lex Friedman, I'm
Speaker 1: not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: I've had the opportunity to have on my show more
Speaker 1: than once. I've said no. Every time. I don't want
Speaker 1: to help him. I'm not interested in helping him. Trump
Speaker 1: went on to say Rogan is sort of a liberal guy.
Speaker 1: I guess from what I understand I liked did he likes?
Speaker 1: Kennedy's a kind of guy. Don't forget. If you would
Speaker 1: like this program without commercials, you can go to Calaroga
Speaker 1: dot com slash plus. You'll get the details there, but
Speaker 1: the short version is four ninety nine a month. You'll
Speaker 1: get this program and almost everything else on the network
Speaker 1: commercial free Kalaroga dot com slash plus link in the
Speaker 1: show notes. I watched Phil Wang special Tuesday night as planned.
Speaker 1: My daughter joined me. We both liked it a lot.
Speaker 1: I love the venue, the Shakespeare Globe Theater, so nice,
Speaker 1: small wooden room lit by candlelight. As Phil pointed out,
Speaker 1: I did comment in the Facebook group, which is daily
Speaker 1: Common News podcast group. Especially in the first ten minutes
Speaker 1: or so. My spidery sense was tingling for perhaps, maybe
Speaker 1: possibly wouldn't surprise me if somebody had added some crowd
Speaker 1: laughter there. There were a couple shots where I heard
Speaker 1: what in my mind was registering as a waveform of
Speaker 1: just that HAA. A bunch of jokes had a similar
Speaker 1: laugh of similar length, and then you saw it, particularly
Speaker 1: on Phil's left shoulder. Some audience members they weren't laughing.
Speaker 1: And then conversely, there were a couple of times where
Speaker 1: there were things that potentially were a laugh line, and
Speaker 1: somehow the audience all knew at once not to laugh
Speaker 1: at that particular laugh line. So keep an eye out
Speaker 1: for that. In the first ten minutes that said, it's
Speaker 1: a really good set. I was able to disengage my
Speaker 1: brain from analyzing waveforms. The materials really set, So Phil Wang,
Speaker 1: I like that a lot that will make the end
Speaker 1: of the Year list. Also out this week. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it yet. Jennie Hogan's Regression. That one's on Amazon
Speaker 1: and some other places. Genny Hogan used to be a
Speaker 1: data scientist, but she up and left her job in
Speaker 1: San Francisco to move back with her parents in New York.
Speaker 1: She talks about addiction, turning thirty and Los Angeles. Congratulations
Speaker 1: to Will Ferrell. He will receive the seventeenth annual Kirk
Speaker 1: Douglass Award for Excellence in Film. Big Fancy Black Tie
Speaker 1: Dinner in Santa Barbara's Ritz Carlton at least tells us
Speaker 1: no actor in the twenty first century has been associated
Speaker 1: with more hit comedy films than Ferrel. Among those in
Speaker 1: which she starred two thousand and three is Old School
Speaker 1: An Elf two thousand and fours, Anchorman, The Legend of
Speaker 1: Ron Burgundy, thousand and six, Talladega Nits, The Ballad of
Speaker 1: Ricky Bobby, two thousand and eight, Step Brothers, twenty ten's
Speaker 1: The Other Guys, twenty fourteen's Get Hard and the Lego Movie,
Speaker 1: and the list goes on. That is a pretty good
Speaker 1: run there, Michael Douglas said, comedy's the hardest and you
Speaker 1: make it look easy. Will congratulations, Dad, loved you From
Speaker 1: the Boston Globe. Sam Jay will be at the Wilber
Speaker 1: Theater on Saturday. Sam is just enjoying her tour, not
Speaker 1: worrying about industry pressures. Sam is just enjoying her tour
Speaker 1: and not worrying about the industry right now. I'm just
Speaker 1: kind of having fun with comedy again. I kind of
Speaker 1: like not being in this development of an hour mode
Speaker 1: because it's a different part of your brain that has
Speaker 1: to work to do that. I'm just having fun doing
Speaker 1: stand up and connecting with audiences again and just playing
Speaker 1: with ideas as they come. If you go see her
Speaker 1: at the Wilberg, There's gonna be some political jokes in there,
Speaker 1: because that's part of my repertoire. There's gonna be some
Speaker 1: oservation in there, but because that's what I do. But
Speaker 1: to say it's gonna be this or that, I don't
Speaker 1: really know what's gonna be. Stylistically, Jay says she doesn't
Speaker 1: set the table and just starts talking. I was always like,
Speaker 1: I was over here, this kind of thing happened to me,
Speaker 1: and I still approach comedy in that way. So I've
Speaker 1: never felt a name to explain myself. The more I'm
Speaker 1: up there and the more I learn, the more I
Speaker 1: know about myself. So with that the comfortability comes. Apparently
Speaker 1: everybody wants a late night show all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Hey guys, no one has any money. No one's getting
Speaker 1: a show. No one has any budget at all. Everyone
Speaker 1: is cost cutting. You're not getting a show. The kid
Speaker 1: Miro has scheduled two test shows for what he's calling
Speaker 1: a work in progress talk show. They'll film the first
Speaker 1: one tomorrow at the Comedy Seller, another on Tuesday, September seventeenth.
Speaker 1: The Comedy Seller's website says this is a late night
Speaker 1: talk show style show and not a traditional comedy seller show.
Speaker 1: This is a test show and taping Jesus and Marrow
Speaker 1: at a show on Showtime twenty nineteen through twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: They seem to no longer get along all right, We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens with that. Jermaine Foller will star opposite
Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan in Paramount Plus's Crutch. Tracy Morgan plays Francois
Speaker 1: Frank Krutchfield, who goes by Crutch, a brash yet beloved
Speaker 1: Harlem shop owner whose world is turned upside down with
Speaker 1: his highbrow son now played by Jermaine Fowler and free
Speaker 1: spirited daughter moved back to the family home. Fowler's character
Speaker 1: is named Jake, an ivy league educated lawyer who forget
Speaker 1: goes a high paying position at a swanky white shoe
Speaker 1: law firm to provide low cost legal aid in Harlem.
Speaker 1: Yellowjackets has added Joel McHale for a guest role in
Speaker 1: its upcoming third season. Details on Joel Mchal's character are
Speaker 1: being kept quiet for now. Maybe the in between ers
Speaker 1: will come back. Have you ever watched this show? It's
Speaker 1: fantastic one of my favorite shows. British show about I
Speaker 1: guess they were high schoolers, typical horny teens kind of comedy,
Speaker 1: but it was really good. Star Joe Thomas as that
Speaker 1: he and his co stars would consider reuniting for a
Speaker 1: third movie. He told the Always Be Comedy podcast that
Speaker 1: the idea had been discussed in various forms. We're all
Speaker 1: still around, we're all still in each other's lives, we
Speaker 1: all still like each other, and it was something that
Speaker 1: came up. I think we would want to do it.
Speaker 1: I think it works with the right idea. It would
Speaker 1: be challenged in doing another series just because of the timeline. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how they would be still in high school.
Speaker 1: It'd be forty but the film, there's all sorts of options.
Speaker 1: Thomas said a bachelor party could be a good vehicle.
Speaker 1: Las Vegas would be an interesting venue for the boys
Speaker 1: to reunite. He said, there's something about the adult world
Speaker 1: and how much more complicated it is than the world
Speaker 1: of adolescence. A film can be a special occasion. A
Speaker 1: film is about a disruption in normality, whereas the sitcom
Speaker 1: is about what normality is like. A film is a
Speaker 1: story with an ending, whereas the sitcom is more like
Speaker 1: going down to the public friend, who's funny and it's
Speaker 1: just open ended. The in between Ers ran as a
Speaker 1: TV series on Channel four in the UK back in
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. The original movie grossed eighty eight point nine
Speaker 1: million dollars worldwide. The twenty fourteen sequel made sixty three
Speaker 1: point nine million dollars. Aaron Weber will tape his special
Speaker 1: two nights tomorrow and Saturday at the Lab at Zany's
Speaker 1: in Nashville with the help of Nate Berganzy's Nateland Entertainment.
Speaker 1: Nate is becoming a mogul from the Press. Harold christ
Speaker 1: de Gooth is a comedian based in Portland, Maine. He'll
Speaker 1: be at the Portland Main Comedy Festival, king off tonight
Speaker 1: and going through the weekend. He says, my perfect day
Speaker 1: in Maine begins at six am, when I get out
Speaker 1: of bed and walk to the back of the porch
Speaker 1: to catch a glimpse of the sunrise over the Eastern Promenade.
Speaker 1: I'd behold the breathtaking scenery and say to myself, Wow,
Speaker 1: I can't believe I get to live here. Then immediately
Speaker 1: I go back to bed and sleep another five hours.
Speaker 1: I'm not a morning person. Once the clock strikes eleven.
Speaker 1: I get out of bed for real this time and
Speaker 1: climb up Monjoy Hill to double grate for an iced
Speaker 1: latze whole milk. I'm viciously lactose intolerant, but that's how
Speaker 1: I start my day because pressure makes diamonds. After breakfast,
Speaker 1: I drive to Higgins Beach. It has a special place
Speaker 1: in my heart. I taught myself out to surf at Higgins.
Speaker 1: Anyone can learn by the way. You don't need to
Speaker 1: hire someone to teach you. Surfing is a lot like
Speaker 1: stand up comedy. You just have to do it, keep
Speaker 1: doing it, and except they're gonna suck at it for
Speaker 1: a little bit, well for a little while, really long time,
Speaker 1: actually years and years. Surfing is easier than stand up comedy.
Speaker 1: But you get the analogy, right. Does he end his
Speaker 1: perfect day? He closes down the open mic and makes
Speaker 1: his way over to Empire Comedy Club to do a spot.
Speaker 1: He orders some chili Chris renoodles and some General So's
Speaker 1: bow buns for dinner from the Empire Chinese Kitchen, and
Speaker 1: I have a killer set because this is my perfect day,
Speaker 1: and a boy can dream. And that is your comedy
Speaker 1: news for today. If you enjoy the program. I have
Speaker 1: a friend about it. They might like it too. Appreciate
Speaker 1: all your new listeners for sticking around. Love you, See
Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
