1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media full side. I'm Johnnie Mack, who with 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,119 your daily comedy to use. You know what today is. 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,400 I don't have to tell you. I know you have 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,320 it on your calendar. It's the SP's And of course 5 00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:20,519 you know who's hosting the SP's. That's right, it's comedian 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,320 Marcelo Hernandez, who does one thing really well. The SP's 7 00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:28,640 tonight on ABC eight Eastern, seventh Central. Some of the 8 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,000 guests include Slick Rick, Ghostface Killer, and Dla Soul. They'll 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,320 all perform on the show from Lincoln Center in New 10 00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:37,960 York City. I'll be curious to see if the establishment 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000 athletes population welcomes Marcelo Hernandez. I bet they do. They 12 00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:45,880 definitely did not to welcome Shane Gillis last year. However, 13 00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:47,880 I tuned in to see Shane Gillis, and I have 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,719 no intention of watching Marcelo Hernandez. I'll pull some clips 15 00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:52,039 and tell you about it in a day or two. 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,920 The blue collar guys are getting slightly political, Larry the 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Cable Guy spoke to US Weekly. Larry was out participate 18 00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,880 baiting in the thirty seventh annual ACC Golf Championship, which 19 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,079 reminds this podcast host to pull some clips of comedians 20 00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:09,400 talking about that event, but we won't get to that today. 21 00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:12,200 Cable guys said, we live in the United States of America. 22 00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,120 If somebody doesn't want to like your act, then don't 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280 go to see that person's act. It's as simple as that. 24 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,599 Larry was asked about performing stand up comedy in Woke America. 25 00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,079 The cable guy, who's now sixty three, which makes sense 26 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,400 because I'm almost fifty seven now, said I don't worry 27 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,400 about it. I already got a pretty good built in following, 28 00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,159 and I got some awesome fans. You know. If I 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,799 think it's funny, I'm gonna do it. We'll see where 30 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,159 it goes. If you let it bother you, yeah, it's 31 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,159 gonna be tough. But I think Shan gillis pretty much 32 00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:36,959 proof to everybody that you get canceled and if you 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,239 want to double down on that, that's what people want 34 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,239 you to do because they're sick of it too. Shane 35 00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:43,640 Gillis got even more popular after you got fired from 36 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,799 Saturday Night Live for being too woke from stuff he 37 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:47,799 did ten years ago, you know, and now look at him. 38 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,840 That's the whole key. Right there. If you don't like it, 39 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,920 It's like soda pop. Find the one you like and 40 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:54,680 don't bitch about the others love it. Larry, speaking of 41 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,920 Shane Gillis a Hire Season three will be on Netflix 42 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,319 August thirteenth, twenty twenty six. I think it's of an 43 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:03,599 episode or two left from last season. Meanwhile, Jeff Foxworthy 44 00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:06,879 told Fox Digital, I don't think Hollywood has understood that 45 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000 audience in a long long time. I don't care where 46 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,879 they live or where they stand politically. If you sat 47 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,520 people down and said what do you want out of life? 48 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,280 I bet we would agree on eighty five percent of 49 00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,479 the things. We want the same things. What happened was, 50 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,800 instead of celebrating the eighty five percent that were all alike, 51 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,520 we yell and scream at each other over the fifteen 52 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,159 percent that were different. Being different is fine. It would 53 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:24,680 be boring as hell if we were all alike and 54 00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:27,120 all thought the same way. Jeff said. I think that 55 00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:29,199 was the success of the Blue Collar Tour because when 56 00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:30,960 The Kings of Comedy came out, Atlanta was one of 57 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,560 the first stops, and they had an article about it 58 00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:34,439 in the Atlanta paper and it said it was a 59 00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:36,680 show for the urban hip audience. And I'm like, well, 60 00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:38,240 I've bet all fifty states, so let me tell you 61 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520 there's two hundred million people that aren't urban or hip. 62 00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:43,159 Let's do a show for them. The first time I 63 00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:45,800 worked with those guys, they invited me down to their show. 64 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,719 They were playing the Hockey Arena in Nashville. I asked 65 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,639 the Blue Collar team, please do not vip me. My 66 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,240 mission there was to learn about that audience so I 67 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,919 could program the blue Collar Comedy Channel for Serious. So 68 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,039 they sat us in the upper deck again and what 69 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,240 I wanted, and I remember a couple things caught my eye. 70 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:07,639 One I was the second skinniest person in the arena, 71 00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,840 usually never true. And a couple of things got ovations. 72 00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:13,919 One was, y'all ever been to the Walmart? Got a 73 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,400 big ovation? And a Jimmy Buffett mentioned got a big ovation. 74 00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:20,479 So that helps inform me. Whereas the Raw Dog Comedy 75 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,479 Channel on Serious back in the heyday before the Sebastian 76 00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:26,439 Manuscalco camp murdered it, we imaged it like a rock 77 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,280 station and that was kind of sarcastic, and if it 78 00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:31,159 had come to life, it probably would have been a 79 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,039 classic bill burr Hey. 80 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: There sal here from Raw Dog Comedy uncensored, laft bread rolls, 81 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,080 get out of here. 82 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,439 Speaker 1: This is our thirty second laugh. 83 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,439 Speaker 2: Break is comedy for everyone.

Slate caught up with 104 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,480 Tim Hideker. Heidecker has been impersonating Alex Jones for the 105 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240 past ten years. Tim told Slade, I'm attracted to people 106 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,279 like Alex, not sexually attracted, but interested in his mind, 107 00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:54,800 in the way he presents himself. Everything we do that's 108 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,040 perceived as absurd always starts from a real place of 109 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,199 something like this exists, and we're gonna expand upon it 110 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,519 and go deeper and weird with it. In the New 111 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,160 Info Wars world in their continuity, Alex Jones is dead. 112 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,399 Speaker 3: The big story we want to get to right now, 113 00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:12,920 and this is exclusive. These are stories from other news outlets, 114 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,439 but one thing Emergency's gonna be the leader in is 115 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,000 breaking news that we've reported on. I've got a terrific 116 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,040 team out there, producers and researchers finding the truth, getting 117 00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,560 to the bottom of things. This one pertains to Alex Jones, 118 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,800 and I'm gonna break this is big news. This is 119 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,879 gonna be on every CNN and all the other fake 120 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,800 news sites. They're gonna be running with this wild. They're 121 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,600 gonna be running wild with this story. We have leaked 122 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,959 video now revealing that Alex Jones pop like a balloon 123 00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:44,480 in his car two months ago. That's right, folks. Alex Jones, 124 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240 the Alex Jones that we have come to know over 125 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:52,879 the years, is dead. He has passed away. In forces 126 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,560 obtained shocking cell phone footage that appears to show disgrace 127 00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,160 broadcaster to Alex Jones popping like a balloon in the 128 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,160 front seat of his own vehicle on the morning of 129 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,560 May one, twenty twenty six. 130 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,959 Speaker 1: Where did that come from? Tim Hideker said, I think 131 00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:07,000 I made an offhand remark on my podcast where I 132 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,120 said he popped like a balloon. He's such a round man. 133 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,279 I don't want to fat shame anyone, but reminds me 134 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,160 a lot of the Monty Python Meaning of Life sketch 135 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:14,959 where the guy says the wait for him blows up. 136 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,879 He reminds me of that guy. I wouldn't say anyone's 137 00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:20,000 asking for this, but we want to do some little 138 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,839 wish fulfillment or just live in a world where he 139 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,759 could pretend that this is happening of Alex Jones. Tim 140 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,879 Heideker said he's trafficked in conspiracy theories and crisis actors 141 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,639 and really has such little respect for the truth and 142 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,319 for other people's feelings and experiences, especially with the families 143 00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:34,720 at the Sandy Hook tragedy that we were like, let's 144 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,759 just surf him back what he's been serving for years, 145 00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:38,920 which is a bunch of bs. Let's muddy the waters, 146 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:40,759 go on the offense a little bit and create this messy, 147 00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:44,120 stupid conspiracy theory that anybody with a brain knows isn't true. 148 00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:46,839 But make it annoying and confusing, and expand upon this 149 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,040 conspiracy theory that Alex Jones exploded and there's a new 150 00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:54,160 impostor Alex Jones, a fake one that they've created. You know, 151 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,480 Capital TV. You can't just go middle ground on this. 152 00:06:57,519 --> 00:06:59,600 We have to go to place with this where it's 153 00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:00,480 not worth it for me. 154 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 3: Questions remain, Who is this Alex Jones? I believe this 155 00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:07,399 is an imposter, This is a know it as a clone, 156 00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:10,920 but it's somebody that they've managed to fool the world 157 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,839 into believe in. Is is Alex Jones? Why we're gonna 158 00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:15,879 get into the why is this happening? I want to 159 00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:18,680 get into the video. The source of the video here, 160 00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,399 because we got some metadata on this. The video was 161 00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,120 created on my first Central Time on the same day 162 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,319 that a man claimed to be Alex Jones relaunched his 163 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:29,639 show under his new banner, the Alex Jones Network or 164 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,240 Alex Jones Live. Metadata listen iPhone as a recording device 165 00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,279 and contains GPS coordinates, placing the camera on a residential 166 00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:40,759 street on the south side of Austin. Now, this video 167 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:46,360 was uploaded the X that afternoon by an account with 168 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,079 no followers and no prior posts, so it's a new account. 169 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:53,120 This is kind of what caught my eye. The account 170 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,920 was suspended forty seven minutes later. Look at forty seven 171 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,040 think about who's in charge? 172 00:07:57,319 --> 00:07:59,759 Speaker 1: As late was curious. Have you ever spoken to Alex Jones? 173 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,199 Tim said no during that period. In twenty sixteen, when 174 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,199 we were at the Republican National Convention, they were live 175 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,079 streaming on the street and I interrupted their live stream. 176 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:08,680 It's on YouTube. You could see me doing my Alex 177 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,519 Sjoon's impression that his report. He was there, and he 178 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000 was amused. If someone's doing a pretty good impression of view, 179 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,560 I think that's kind of amusing. But he didn't know 180 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,560 who I was. He didn't know I was a world class, 181 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:23,000 legendary comedian. Louis c k was on Dan Soder's podcast. Yeah, 182 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720 I talked about this a little bit in the Facebook group. Now, 183 00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:27,399 Normally I would make fun of myself and say I'm 184 00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:31,079 a loserer basement, but today I'm a medium loser sitting 185 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,200 pool sides. I'm not a total loser. At least I 186 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,200 have a pool. But is Dan Soder good at podcasting? 187 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,080 Because I think he's not. I went to pull three 188 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,679 clips and I had to throw two of them out 189 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,759 because Dan Soder, professional comedian, can't tell a story. Louis 190 00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:46,679 c K really can't tell a story either, and I 191 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,399 had a cut down for pacing. Anyway, here is a 192 00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:52,480 clip of Louis c K telling a long story to 193 00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:54,919 Dan Soder. I have cut it down for both pacing 194 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,559 and language, and I tried to take soda out of 195 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,559 it because soda just steps on c K. Let the 196 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,399 man tell us story. 197 00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 4: I opened for Jerry Seinfeld when I was like nineteen 198 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,000 and I was sitting on the stool and he came in. 199 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,360 He was doing Letterman, and back then when someone was 200 00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:10,679 doing Letterman, it was this thing, Jerry's going to be 201 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,960 on Letterman tomorrow and he does the set and I 202 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,879 saw a bit for him, I saw a tag and 203 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,519 I knew him a little from Boston. It was a 204 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,000 bit where he was talking about milk. He's talking about 205 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,679 how once you're racing against the expiration date, you know 206 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:26,799 you have too much milk, you're washing your face. It 207 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:29,120 was a great bit. And he said, how do they 208 00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:31,039 know that's the day? How do they know that that 209 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,799 day is the day? 210 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:33,519 Speaker 3: That was it? 211 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,039 Speaker 4: That's all he had, And I was like, I got it. 212 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,200 So he's coming off stage and I just go Jerry 213 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,240 and he looks at me like, oh yeah, with this kid? 214 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:44,320 What And I go, I got a bit and he goes, 215 00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:46,799 go ahead. He's kind of like, you have ten seconds 216 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,240 and I go, you say, how do you know that's 217 00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:52,080 the day? Is the guy milk and the cow? And 218 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,519 the cow goes July third? 219 00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:54,799 Speaker 3: Funny? 220 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,879 Speaker 4: And I knew it would work because his funny face 221 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,919 being a cow. Yeah, And he goes, oh, Jerry's on Letterman, 222 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,840 he's sitting on panel, he's telling jokes and he does 223 00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,440 that thing. How do they know that that's the day? 224 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,360 The crowds I'm listening to the crowds building that was 225 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,559 the day? Are they milking the cow? The cow goes 226 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:19,759 July third? Explosive applause and Letterman comes out of the 227 00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:23,440 applause and goes the cow says July third, and Jerry goes, yeah, 228 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,559 the cow, and they reiterated. The next day, I'm walking 229 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,000 around I think Central Park and I see Jerry. I 230 00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:31,399 bump into him on the street and he goes, hey, 231 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,879 you're a bit killed. And he goes, now you know 232 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:38,240 that your mind, the way you think and your comedy 233 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,960 can work in the big leagues, Like, now you know that? 234 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,480 And I was like, so I felt like, now me 235 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,240 and Jerry are you know? We're connected? I got a 236 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,440 letterman thing. So then like a month later, he goes 237 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,639 on the Tonight Show Johnny Carson sure does the joke again. 238 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:57,720 I think he closed with it kills. And so then 239 00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:00,200 I see him at Ketch and I just walk up 240 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,559 real familiar, Hey, I saw you did the bit on 241 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,799 Carson and he goes, what like, do you remember this cow? 242 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,200 And he's like, uh huh oh oh mirror. He's kind 243 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,440 of like, that's enough now. 244 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,799 Speaker 1: And I've got a clip from Andrew Schultz. Now, every 245 00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:21,519 time I listen to Andrew Schultz, I just wonder, like, 246 00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:24,000 did people actually listen to this guy? I'm not pulling 247 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,679 bunches today. And then I have to Google to make 248 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,879 sure I didn't hallucinate this, but no, the New York 249 00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:32,639 Times really did print the headline Andrew Schultz podcast bro 250 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,600 might be America's foremost political journalists. This is a real 251 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:37,919 thing that happened. Every now and then you look at 252 00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:41,519 something and you're like, jud did Amy Schumer host the oscars? 253 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,360 That makes no sense? And I have to say to you, no, 254 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,240 it does make no sense. But that is a thing 255 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,960 that happened. I don't know why, but yeah, the New 256 00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:51,639 York Times actually printed this, that Andrew Schultz podcast bro 257 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,039 might be America's foremost political journalist. So I saw this 258 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,120 new clip and let's hear from the man who might 259 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,639 be America's most political journalists. I did have to edit 260 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,879 for language and pacing. The discussion. Here is about the 261 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,279 New York City mayor wanting us to turn the AC 262 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,399 up to seventy eight degrees. Here is possibly America's foremost 263 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,120 political journalist, Andrew Schultz. 264 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: Seventy degrees and below. You're even a little high with 265 00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:24,240 when we say AC, it's seventy two and below seventy 266 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,559 degrees and below. You're even a little high with that one. 267 00:12:27,639 --> 00:12:30,799 But I'll let you Rod. I know Zora was saying 268 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,919 keep it at seventy eight with easeys, this is this 269 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,679 is America. 270 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 4: He was feeling a little too good NIXXA five, he 271 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,519 was like off the high. He's like, oh, we don't 272 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,519 need it, but he was wild. 273 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 2: I put him to sixty four, just despite him even 274 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:46,840 suggesting such a thing or a blew out. 275 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: I really don't know how people listen to that. And 276 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,440 there's a video version, and I really don't want to 277 00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:01,360 look at Andrew Schultz sitting there in shorts just for laughs. 278 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,279 In Montreal. Kicks off tonight. Now there's a couple weeks 279 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,120 to it. The first week is usually a little slow. 280 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,279 The second week is like the heart of the festival 281 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,879 and all the big shiny stuff happens. I don't think 282 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,960 I'm gonna go like nothing in the lineup. I'd love 283 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,679 to go see weird al and I really like new faces, 284 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,480 but I don't know something. For some reason, I haven't 285 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120 felt like going through. A part of it is they 286 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,559 changed publicity companies and I was in really good with 287 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,159 the old crew, and I reached out to the new 288 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,840 crew and they were initially responsive, but they haven't chased me. 289 00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:29,679 And I haven't chased them, so I'm not saying that 290 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,039 they're rotten like the Hulu people, but I don't know. There's, 291 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,840 of course, the weird AL Show Saturday, July twenty fifth, 292 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,720 at nine pm. It's kind of late AL at the 293 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,080 Place to Festivals. Apparently Al played there at the twenty 294 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,679 fifteen just for laughs. I guess I didn't go to 295 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,000 that one. That was probably just after my run it's serious, 296 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:51,080 and before I started getting back into all this stuff. 297 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,320 I took a little break there. You know, I didn't 298 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,919 have the podcast yet. I probably didn't even have the 299 00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,639 slacker job yet. So it's a little weird to just 300 00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:00,399 be like, hey, guys, I have no job, but I'm 301 00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:02,200 here at the festival, you know, so I stayed home. 302 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,960 I guess that year. Bill Brownstein reminds us at the 303 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,200 twenty fifteen just for laughs that the lineup was Mike Myers, 304 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,840 Trevor Noah, Kevin Art, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Jane Lynch, Star, 305 00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:15,080 Trek Runer, Baton Os Walt, Colin, Joe's, Tom, Papa, JB. Smooth, 306 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,799 Margaret Show, Jimmy Carr, Gilbert Gottfried, Sebastian Maniscalco, probably made 307 00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:21,799 a face, Janee Ruffalo, and Hassan Minhaj. That's a pretty 308 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,600 good lineup, but Bill says COVID came and took a 309 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,399 devastating toll on JFL and most other festivals for several years. 310 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,960 Then competition unlike anything JFL had ever experienced came with 311 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,399 the arrival of the biennial Netflix's a Joke Festival. Make 312 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:39,399 things worse were jfl's financial issues and some other stuff 313 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:42,559 I'll let the lawyers argue about. Then the new owners 314 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,639 showed up and rescued this thing in twenty twenty four, 315 00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:47,279 and we had a pretty normal festival last year. This 316 00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:50,879 year's lineup includes David Letterman, Will Arnette, Jerry Seinfeld, Tiffany Hattich, 317 00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:54,320 Mike Berbiglia, Gabe Iglesias, May Martin, and of course we're 318 00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,039 aw Nick Brazo is the head of programming for JFL. 319 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,519 He picked out ten of his favorites from the lineup. 320 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:04,720 One of them Heated Rivalry, the unauthorized musical parody. There's 321 00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:08,759 also Sibling Rivalry Live. Say that one time slow and 322 00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:11,440 you still trip over it. We're told definitely not to 323 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,440 be confused with the Heated Rivalry parody. Too late, this 324 00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:16,919 one will be equally unforgettable, featuring two of the world's 325 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,360 most famous drag queens, Bob the Drag Queen and Monett Exchange, 326 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:24,840 bringing a live version of their hit podcast, The Improveniers Sir. 327 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,759 One of the truly feel good stories of this and 328 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,399 any other festival. The cast together since twenty eighteen, is 329 00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:32,120 made up entirely by members with down syndrome. They use 330 00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:34,080 improv to break down barriers and put on both a 331 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,799 great show and provide a very inclusive experience. That's cool 332 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,679 the Montreal series July sixteenth and seventeenth that the Comedy Nests. 333 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,879 Nick says, we have a duty and responsibility to support 334 00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:44,840 and celebrate our local comedians who get old their own 335 00:15:44,879 --> 00:15:47,759 with comics anywhere. Twenty four locals and four shows. See 336 00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:49,120 that's fun. That's the kind of thing. If you go 337 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,519 to festival, I think you go see Dan Tiernan July 338 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,559 twenty fifth, the Cafe Cleopatra and appearing in British July 339 00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:59,080 twenty first to the twenty fifth. Nick says a new 340 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,200 face of comedy star at last year's fest Montreal. May 341 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,679 not know him yet, but certainly will. He's a mad genius. 342 00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:08,919 I must see Nick's excited about Dukes, which is Jane 343 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,960 Wicklin and the Live of Pierce. They bring their off 344 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,240 Broadway hit musical comedy dealing with the hope, lust and 345 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,039 dreams of two friends with one piano. We are told 346 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,519 Mike Berbiglia is a huge fan Abby Wamba the first 347 00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:23,519 three minutes of seventeen shows July twenty fifth at the 348 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:26,879 Theater Saint Catherine Abbey won the twenty twenty six Melbourne 349 00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:29,840 Comedy Festival Most Outstanding Show Award and the twenty twenty 350 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,159 four Edinburgh Fringe Best Newcomer Award. Good pedigree there. The 351 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,840 Nasty Show one of the annual traditions. A new breed 352 00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:40,440 of nasty here with American host CP and Canadian Reids performing. 353 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,559 Both may fly under the radar, but they've both been 354 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,440 crushing it. The Culture Show is another returner, Alfred Roblace 355 00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:50,120 and Tara Canistraki. They are the opening acts for Gabe 356 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,759 Iglesias and Joe Coy who one time told a horrible, 357 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:54,559 mean joke about Taylor Swift, but we don't have time 358 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,840 for that today. A Mexican and an Italian making their 359 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,519 Montreal debuts. We are told details on the festival which 360 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:03,360 starts today and runs through the twenty six go to 361 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,359 Ha ha ha dot com. And good news for the guy. 362 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,559 Remember the guy that was being sued by the Lion 363 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,079 King people. Remember this comedian, Lean Moore Junasy was being 364 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,319 sued for twenty seven million dollars. You may recall the 365 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,680 comedian said that the famous Lion King chant translates to 366 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,799 look there's a lion, Oh my god.
