00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. Bob's Burgers supposedly returns for season fifteen tonight.

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Now I have two questions for you. Longtime listeners know

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the questions and they've thought about it, and they know

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that I'm right. If you're new, let me ask you

6
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 1>two questions here. One, have you ever seen Bob's Burgers?

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>You haven't. I know you think you have it. I'm

8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna explain why you think you have, but you haven't.

9
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>And more interesting to me, have you ever met anyone

10
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>who has seen Bob's Burgers? You haven't. Isn't that weird?

11
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>So I looked more into this, and it seems a

12
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are talking about how Bob's Burgers doesn't exist.

13
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Some of the theories theory one mass misremembering. Millions of

14
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>people genuinely believe that they've watched Bob's Burgers. Like some

15
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>of you listening to my voice right now, I get it.

16
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I know you're like Johnny Mack's doing a bit, He's crazy.

17
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 1>These are false memories. What has happened is people's minds

18
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>are constructing entire episodes from the promotional materials and discussions

19
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 1>about the fake show. The marketing for Bob's Burgers was

20
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>so effective that it created artificial nostalgia. People remember watching

21
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>it as part of their Sunday night routine, but those

22
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>memories were subtly implanted through clever advertising. Fox was smart.

23
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 1>They had Joe Buck promote Bob's Burgers, knowing darn well

24
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 1>after the football game you were going to switch over

25
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to NBC and watch Sunday night football. Fox doesn't even

26
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 1>air anything on Sunday nights. They go dark. I know

27
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>you think the Simpsons is still on. When's the last

28
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>time you watched the Simpsons nineteen ninety four. It's a

29
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 1>big hoax. At least the Simpsons did exist at one point.

30
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Switch over to Fox tonight around I don't know nine

31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>see what's on? Nothing. These shows, plotlines and characters have

32
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 1>seeped in a popular culture through memes, merchandise, and discussions,

33
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>creating the illusion of a source material that doesn't actually exist.

34
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>The idea of Bob's Burgers has spread as a meme,

35
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 1>with people to dicussing and referencing a show they've never seen,

36
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>but they believe it must exist because everyone else seems

37
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to know about it. There's also the concept of the

38
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>digital phantom. Proponents of the Bob's Burger's conspiracy theory like

39
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>me will point out to you, in the age of

40
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>streaming in digital media, it's become impossible to distinguish between

41
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 1>shows we've actually watched and those we've just seen discussed online.

42
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>And then I like this theory. It's the quantum theory.

43
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Bob's Burgers exists in a state of quantum superposition, simultaneously

44
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>real and non existent until somebody tries to actually watch

45
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 1>an episode, at which point the show disappears and doesn't exist,

46
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like Schroedener's Cat, but Bob's Burger's anyway. Feel

47
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>free to discuss this in the Facebook group Daily Comedy

48
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>News podcast group. There's no such show. Have you seen it? No?

49
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Have you met anyone who's seen it? No. Weird Al

50
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>is coming back. After taking two years off touring, Weird

51
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Al's embarking on his Bigger and Weirder tour. He's even

52
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>playing Madison Square Garden in New York and the Key

53
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of Form in La. His last tour was stripped down,

54
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>this time back to normal with all the costumes and

55
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 1>visuals and fans have come to expect from weird Al. Wow.

56
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe he's playing stadiums. I saw him in

57
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the local theater, which was awesome. I don't know if

58
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I would go all the way to Madison Square Garden

59
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 1>to see Weird Al, because going to New York City

60
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>from where I lives a pain in the neck. I

61
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>won't read the whole thing. But some cities you've heard

62
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of Las Vegas, Boston, Philly, Palmer, Alaska, San Diego, Phoenix,

63
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 1>LA Nashville. Pretty cool. He remember. John m'laney is joining

64
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that Simon Rich Broadway production all in comedy about love.

65
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Apparently it's the new trendy thing. Some people have joined

66
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Lynn Manuel Miranda. Now he's not a comedian, but you

67
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 1>know somebody worth mentioning. Lynn will take over for John

68
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>mulaney as the lead once mullaney rotates out. Also, part

69
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>of the second cast will be Jimmy Fallon. Wow. Also

70
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Adie Bryant, Tim Meadows, and David Cross. Oh. Hankaz Aria

71
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>also rounds out the cast. Wow, that's gonna be a thing.

72
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Greg Fitzimmons said, Joe Rogan and I started comedy the

73
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>same week we went to Stitches Comedy Club in Boston

74
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the same week and sign up to do five minutes.

75
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Then he was dating my roommates, so we basically lived

76
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 1>in the same apartment. When we first started. The show

77
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 1>was the Monday night open mic show and it was

78
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>called Comedy Hell. The mc a guy named George McDonald,

79
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>would get up at the beginning of the show and

80
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>his first words were, welcome to comedy Hell, where the

81
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>pipe dreams of a bunch of comedy bozos can sore

82
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 1>as high as the lights on Broadway, or crash and

83
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 1>burn in a fiery pit known only as comedy Hell.

84
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 1>One night we went out and Bill Hicks was in town.

85
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 1>We'd only be doing comedy year, but he was probably

86
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the biggest influence on both of us. He was just

87
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 1>a guy who wasn't gonna budge for the crowd. Boston

88
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>crowds were tough. If they didn't like you, they just

89
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>shut down. And when they started shutting down on him,

90
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 1>he went, oh, really, well, how about this, and he

91
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 1>would drag out abortion jokes and they started leaving. Mike

92
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Cannon's special Traumatized Animal is out today on Christa Stefano's

93
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>YouTube channel. Chris is also the specials producer, taped in

94
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>April at the New York Comedy Club in Stamford, Connecticut.

95
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Traumatized Animal provides an irreverent, honest look at parenting as

96
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>a millennium father looking to break the chain of generational trauma,

97
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 1>and an hour jam pack with jokes and stories. Mike

98
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>candidly speaks about his own mental health struggles and love

99
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>for his child and one on the way, as well

100
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>as deep dives in his own childhood while breaking down

101
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>how it is impacted his approaches a father. This is

102
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 1>a relentless and refreshingly authentic hour of comedy from a

103
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 1>comedian who's ready to launch. Cannon tells the eight hundred

104
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 1>Pound Guerrilla News this special means a lot to me

105
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>for a multitude of reasons. I put a tremendous amount

106
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 1>of work into the material over the last two years,

107
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and I think comedically it's the strongest and most personal

108
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 1>hour I've ever put out. I've also managed to make

109
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it a family affair. Who was produced by my best

110
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>friend christ de Stefano. It's directed by my former podcast

111
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 1>producer and collaborator, Nicole Lyons. My wife designed the floral

112
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 1>arrangement on stage, and both my sisters performed the original

113
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 1>song and the credits. The cast of VEEP is hosting

114
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a virtual table read in a half of the Democratic

115
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Party of Wisconsin. Today. The cast will reunite for a

116
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 1>table read of the episode Create, in which Vice President

117
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Selena Meyer finds out that the president is stepping down

118
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 1>and Shield take his place. Juliet's all the Hollywood Reporter.

119
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>We try to find an old episode where President Meyer

120
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>accused immigrants of eating dogs and cats. But back when

121
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 1>we were making VP, that seemed insane and over the top.

122
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Staying political. Both The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert will

123
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 1>air live episodes on the East Coast after the VP

124
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>debate on October first. Both shows did the same thing

125
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>after the presidential debate that week. Colbert doubled his audience.

126
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Michael ian Black as a substack. Actually, so do I

127
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I should remember from my substack. It's free mcdeepod dot

128
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>substack dot com. Like in the show notes, mondays, I

129
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>write about music Tuesday, I often write about podcasting. Wednesday,

130
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I give podcasting recommendations, and then the other days I

131
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 1>write about whatever I want. I really don't write about

132
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>comedy on there because if I want to talk about comedy.

133
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I have this. It's not like I'm anti comedy, but

134
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>like it's my outlet for other things. Anyway, check it out.

135
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Michael ian Black has one like his a lot. He

136
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 1>wrote about going to the dentist and said, if you're

137
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 1>one of those people who thinks going to the dentist

138
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>isn't so bad, ask yourself this. What other doctor gives

139
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you presents on the way out? Doctor does this? Sure,

140
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>pediatricians give stickers, but no other medical profession has to

141
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.879
<v Speaker 1>bribe their clients with actual parting gifts. No other doctor

142
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>of swag bags your eye doctors and like, thanks for

143
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 1>stopping by, here's a free pair of sunglasses. No, only

144
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>dentists do this because they know you've been traumatized and

145
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to shut you up. That little bag of

146
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>mini tooth bases and toothbrushes is their nda. In fact,

147
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 1>is a good chance they've killed me today for speaking

148
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>out and going to the dentist today. If I don't

149
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 1>make it back, you know why. Liz Meely is taping

150
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 1>her six stand up specials called Space Camp at the

151
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Bellhouse in Brooklyn. Today. Mike Kaplan spoke to Columbus Underground

152
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 1>about starting out and said, when I was starting out,

153
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 1>I would say I didn't know what I was doing.

154
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I just knew write and perform as much as possible,

155
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 1>and that's why any idea that I had was precious

156
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to me. I'd come up with a thousand things, and

157
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 1>maybe only a couple of them would work, but I

158
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 1>didn't know I'd be able to keep coming up with things.

159
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 1>I thought any idea was worth something, I throw it

160
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>out the wall to see what's stuck. I was more

161
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 1>led around by the audience's reaction, and the audience reaction

162
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 1>is valuable, but in the beginning I was more acting

163
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 1>jokes than telling jokes, sort of like, hey, audience, what

164
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>about this joke? And they're like, should you be telling us?

165
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Through the course of time, I became better and more

166
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 1>confident in what I'm doing. I'm excited now that I

167
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 1>know that I don't have to just try everything, see

168
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>what the audience responds to and head in that direction.

169
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I can spend more time delving more deeply into ideas

170
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that I want to that I care about, that I

171
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 1>want to share with people, and do my best to

172
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 1>attract people to those ideas. Rather than throwing ideas to

173
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 1>where I think the people are, which is often going

174
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a losing proposition. And that is your comedy

175
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 1>news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a

178
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.720

<v Speaker 1>Stories and tell you five stories. And they're all kind

180
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of happy, smile stories, Guinness records, lost animals, coming home,

181
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>quirky things in the news. There was one about an

182
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>suv that wound up on top of a dumpster. I'll

183
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 1>cut to the chase there a construction worker was mad

184
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>at where somebody parked. If you'd like the program without

185
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 1>commercial interruption, there's a link in the show notes that

186
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you how that works, all right, See tomorrow.
