Speaker 1: Callaroga Shock Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
a daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the
comedy industry. Now today is very political. If you don't
like the political stuff, check out now. And if you
listen to the show and you feel that I've loaded
it one side or another. I don't make fun of
the candidate you don't like or whatever, put the clips
under my nose. There's nothing loaded here now. I think
some of my opinions on some of these folks does
creep out from time to time, but I'm happy to
make fun of everyone. Let's start with Dave Chappelle. Dave
Chappelle was on PBS and he discussed his opinions on
the President of the United States.
Speaker 1: How do you think he's doing? He's joking, right, He's man,
Come on, man, nobody wants to feel this way, and
I don't think anybody war. They definitely didn't want to
arguably lose one. But when you're asking him please do better,
what was it in that moment that you were asking
the president to do and to do differently? Well? I
believe in that same monologue, I reminded him that everyone
on earth is counting on him.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: I think I made the point that the presidency is
no place for a petty person. So personally, I would
say that, you know, anyone at any type of leadership
position or even like a nightclub can being like me.
We have to suffer sights and injuries, and we have
to kind of just let some things go, and we
have to focus on what's actually important and not cultivating
a browth of confusion, which I believe is I believe
he's doing that, you know, you know, for political expediency
or whatever reason. I don't standard methodology, but I just
know that Americans. I think everyone wants to have some
semblance of peace, and they get there different ways. Some
people think there's different things threatening their peace, you know,
but being a president seems like an opportunity to be
a very unifying force, and I feel like perhaps he
squandered that opportunity, to put.
Speaker 2: It likely, THEO. Vaughn also has some thoughts about the
President of the United.
Speaker 4: States and what American is this helping besides the war,
the industrial war complex, What American hard What guy who's
trying to take care of his family or a single
mother who's a nurse who's going to work and has
to get home and get to her kids ballgame and
has to be both parents. What farmers is helping regular person?
Is this helping? I just don't know. I don't understand. So, yeah,
that's what that's what That's what our president's up to,
and it's baffling.
Speaker 2: And George Lopez also has some thoughts about the president
of the United States.
Speaker 5: If you had cognitive decline and.
Speaker 2: You worked at anywhere Barrack.
Speaker 5: Guns on victory and they said, hey, there's about the
right hand that's laying out the silverware has cognitive decline,
I don't think should be near the knives now that
long he'll be all right. You wouldn't let a valet
person be cognitive decline and be working. So we have
a guy that's the leader of the free world with
cognitive decline, who who is attacking the war with just
on his own. I mean, listen, I always think everybody's Mexican,
you know, so I think Trump, you know, he's remodeling
the house he don't own. He's starting with other countries.
His son in laws over there, you know, hired them.
I mean, if you have a job where you can
hire your family. You have a job, you don't have
a career, because they're not gonna be like, who's this
fool right here?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just started working Americ Experiences. I told just to come.
But I mean, the idea that this guy could get
away with so much and and and have it really
kind of go uncalled.
Speaker 2: On Greg Gutfeld on Fox News Slam Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel
had been on Michelle Obama's podcast. On Michelle Obama's podcast,
Jimmy Kimmel said, first of all, don't tell me what
my job is. I don't tell you what your job is.
My job is whatever I decide. My job is whatever
my employer allows me to do. That's what my job is.
Greg Gutfeld, it's all Jimmy Kimmel. Look, he's right, he
doesn't have to listen to criticism. But then don't complain
about it. You could do what you want and we
could tell you what sucks. You could paid handsome links
to take it like a man and stop blubbering. People
get criticized every day who make one one hundredth of
what you make in menial jobs, and they don't complain
about the complaints. You don't even know criticism. Try being
a right winger for a year, got fail at it.
I only complained when one of the my friends get
shot and killed and you make up stories about it.
Gray continued. My feeling is he's hopeless because he's decided
he's too important to be funny. He's incapable of self deprecation.
He can't poke fun at himself, and he lost the
ability to be silly. I'm a fool. I'm the first admitted.
I embrace it. The less important you think I am,
the better it is for me. No one mocks me
more than me, and most of the insults directed to
me from critics they took from me. So there, people
are upset about Ramy Yusef. Earlier in the week, Romy
had stopped by Sesame Street and hung out with Elmo.
Here's a quick clip, Sanna monicum, everyone, I'm Ramy Yusef.
Speaker 6: Hell is here, mister Ramy?
Speaker 4: What is salamikm Well, Salam means peace and it's a
way to say hello in Arabic.
Speaker 2: Raymond Arroyo on Fox News said I wish Sesame Street
would stick to teaching kids about letters and numbers, and
then mister Royo went on to say some other things
that I'm not going to repeat. They were not very welcoming.
Ramy Yusef was on the view and said, I feel
for them, right. I think they're worried about Arabic immersion
and it's got to be tough because I think there's
supporters of the president. So imagine your president on Easter
is tweeting praise be to Allah and al Elmo saying Habibi.
That feels threatening. Rommie said There's been lots of languages
on Sesame Street and there's been no backlash to those,
so it actually really did surprise me. John Oliver share
that he's not a fan of the British Royal family.
He was asked about the future of former Prince Andrew.
John said, long term, if I believed in Hell, it
would be there. I don't know where he'll end up.
I had very little respect for that guy before all
of this, so I don't know where he'll end up,
and the marrow of my bones, I don't care. By
the way, you can keep up on the Royal family
by listening to the Palace Intrigue podcast. I'm the writer
on that. We cover this stuff all day, every day,
twice a day. There's a lot to talk about the
British royal family. John Oliver also talked about Sarah Ferguson.
Remember Fergie, she used to be married to former Prince
Andrew and all John Oliver said was and he couldn't
give a flying s word. Alex Jones is no longer
in charge of Info Wars. The Onion is taking it over.
Comedian Tim Hidecker is the new face of Wars. Let's
listen as we head to the break and I have
cut this down a little.
Speaker 4: Hey, everybody, I.
Speaker 6: Got some breaking news for you. It's looking very likely
that Global Tetra Heaton will seize control of Info Wars
in the coming days. The folks that Global Tetra Heaton
have asked me to step in as to run the
show over there and become a big part of the future.
Speaker 5: So we're.
Speaker 3: Exploring. Sorry, my name is Tim Heidecker. Just here to
let you know that I am now in charge of
Info Wars. It's an honor to take over the reins
and chart a new path towards the future. We're looking
forward to relaunching the site soon in the next coming
months and We're not really sure what we're going to
do with it. We're talking about all sorts of ideas.
We were playing around with it being a real estate
broker service, or a cryptocurrency exchange market, a place to,
a place to or pictures more most like a drop
box account. Not sure, a lot of ideas, but very
excited to take this on. UH and just want to
wish everyone extend a hand of friendship and UH and

Speaker 2: Hulu is adding the Handsome podcast to their platform. Handsome
features Tignatsaro off which Fimster and Mae Martin Arii Shafier
caught up with the La times about the end of
formerly known as this is Not Happening. Not entirely true. John,
you kind of were loose with the phrasing there, but
you guys know what I mean that thing Ari he said,
I'm excited to show some people new people. Even with
the live shows, I'm always like, let me show you
two headliners. You know, a mid level guy you'll know,
and let me show you two people that you just
don't know. That's a good way to put together a show.
That's what stand up is. In New York, LA and
even Austin. There are some killers no one has ever
heard of, and they're destroyers. So I'm excited to show people.
Call Um Tyrell because he rules. He's so funny and
his story's great. Tony Hitchclub's story was really good. He's
a monster storyteller in every sense of the word. Now
and Roywood Junior is so smooth it makes me feel
like I'm needy and insecure on the stage. Sam Talent
is going to be one people talk about. Jim Brewer
is so great. Steph Tolev crushed it with something fun
and interesting and wow, this is really tough. Every time
I'm doing a promo for the show, it's like, what
about this person? And this one having big jay ogwriston
back was key because he's on the Mount Rushmore of
this show, and we have three of those on the end, Jay,
Miss Patt and Ali Sadik. We couldn't Sean Patton now
because he was shooting something and Bert Krascher had a
movie or something with his daughter moving, or maybe was
a graduation. The LA Time said it would be funny
if Bert Krascher paid to have a graduation move so
we could do your show. Alre he liked that idea.
I said, yeah, just pay the school to move the
graduation for a week. Don't you make like fifty million
dollars a year, It's so funny. He used to be crazy.
You think of someone making one hundred million dollars and
now there are like ten comics who make at least
half of that and without doing press, and it's really cool.
I haven't paid for lunch. It's so long. And Ali
Sidiq has become so huge. He's like the success story.
The storytelling show in its entirety, everyone got helped a
little bit, but Ali kind of broke off these stories.
And to see him so successful and still so smooth.
It's really cool. You can't be niche doing arenas, and
there's this independent boom that's not gonna wait for anybody.
So it's another big win for us. It's our turn
in the whole story of this. Speaking of Oli Sidiq,
he and his daughter, chef Jaydon Genes, are taking ownership
of Rado Market. The restaurant is an all day cafe
neighborhood market created by James Beard finalist Chris Williams. When
william stepped away for his daughter's birth, Gaines stepped in
a chef and general manager and has been running it
like it was hers ever since. Williams approach Gaines earlier
this year about owning the business. Alsidiq will be part
owner and will ACKed in a support role and out
of San Francisco. The sf Gate tells us about the Wash.
The Wash was a one night recreation of the legendary
venue Brainwash, where Ali Wang got her start. Ali Wang
had described Brainwash on Hot Wings, saying it was literally
half cafe, half laundromat, one hundred percent homeless shelter. Brainwash
hosted open mic nights from April fools Day nineteen ninety
nine to its closure in twenty seventeen. MC Tony Sparks said,
it started out as an insult oddly enough, because I
was the monopoly of open mics. I wasn't welcome to
the community, but the open MIC's all blew up really
fast and got popular. They were calling me the godfather,
like they had a bow and kissed my ring to
get in. Comics came from all around to be there
to learn, how can I get work where it needs
to go? Stuff like that, The Gate tells us, as
one can expect from an open mic, the quality was
let's just say mixed. We'll see if they do it again.
Spark said, I hope this is a kick off of
bringing back that same energy we had back then when
people worked together and everybody rallied around one another to
make this whole comedy thing work. Let's see. I hope
they do bring it back. And that is your comedy
news for today, See tomorrow.
