Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark media. Man, you take one day off to
Speaker 1: go to the beach. It was one hundred degrees in Jersey,
Speaker 1: so I pretage Wednesday show on Monday. It's like, I
Speaker 1: go to the beach Tuesday, and it was like all
Speaker 1: kinds of news. I mean, good problem to have, because
Speaker 1: I got plenty to talk about today. But I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there on the beach watching my inbox and I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: come on, why today? All right? Mark Maren, he's kind
Speaker 1: of at it with the whul Andrew Schultz thing. I
Speaker 1: told you about Andrew Schultz the other day Maren put
Speaker 1: out in his newsletter. And I'll try and do this
Speaker 1: in a Maren e Ish not impression, but I'll try
Speaker 1: and do his cadence. This is it, people, It's finally here,
Speaker 1: American authoritarianism with a fully functioning fascist cultural apparatus. We
Speaker 1: did it. Took us about two hundred and fifty years,
Speaker 1: but we did it. I'm not sure which was more
Speaker 1: horrendoucent damning, the deploying of troops to la or the
Speaker 1: bombing of Iran, but they were of a kind orders
Speaker 1: of a leader who cares nothing about the people of
Speaker 1: this country and is autocratically creating a government that serves
Speaker 1: only his whims and power. This is the cost of
Speaker 1: a mindocracy and feeds the fire of inhumanity for his myopic, brutal,
Speaker 1: and dangerous followers. We get to live in real fear
Speaker 1: all the time now, not made up or generated internally,
Speaker 1: but actual terror of our government and our fellow Americans. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be grim, but the unconstitutional attack
Speaker 1: of Iran and La will put in place the machinery
Speaker 1: to make this a military dictatorship. I hope all those
Speaker 1: people that voted for this passively and based in emotions
Speaker 1: are happy and proud of the America we're becoming, where
Speaker 1: pain feeds their excitement, and corruption and moral bankruptcy becomes
Speaker 1: their proud day to day way of moving through the world.
Speaker 1: I hope all the anti wool comics are happy about
Speaker 1: pushing this all through. The big question is when will
Speaker 1: they shut up about trans people intellectually challenge people, immigrants,
Speaker 1: that disabled, the minorities. I mean, they won the policies
Speaker 1: they were supporting, whether they knew it or not, aren't happening.
Speaker 1: I hope you can now stop playing the victim and
Speaker 1: just enjoy the amazing lack of diversity and diminishment of
Speaker 1: human rights and collective fury of supported. Because it's here,
Speaker 1: I assume you'll just keep at it. It's one thing
Speaker 1: to mock the week and another thing to celebrate their
Speaker 1: pain and deaths. I assume you have nothing else. Now
Speaker 1: that what you made is become hack, you can just
Speaker 1: go back to the standard. Maren made similar comments in
Speaker 1: the opening to Monday's podcast with guest Jordan Klepper. It
Speaker 1: is believed a lot of this obviously the news over
Speaker 1: the weekend with Iran, but a lot of this is
Speaker 1: also about the Andrew Schultz piece from the New York
Speaker 1: Times over the weekend. I talked about that on Tuesday's podcast.
Speaker 1: In the Times piece, Andrew Schultz told The Times he
Speaker 1: feels comfortable saying the R word. Schultz explained, if a
Speaker 1: parent ever said that word hurts me and I want
Speaker 1: you to not say it. I'm never gonna say in
Speaker 1: front of them. I don't want to hurt you. That's
Speaker 1: not my goal. But if they're like, I don't want
Speaker 1: you to ever say it again in your life, that's
Speaker 1: not going to happen. In other Mark Maren news his
Speaker 1: new special will stream on HBO Max starting April first.
Speaker 1: It is entitled Mark Maren Panicked. Maren says, I feel
Speaker 1: this is the best work I've done. Everything came together,
Speaker 1: the direction, the production designed, the shirt and the bits
Speaker 1: HBO gets me, and I'm thrilled it'll be presented by them. Now,
Speaker 1: this is interesting. It will air at eight o'clock Eastern,
Speaker 1: not ten o'clock. Well, that's cool. The other big news.
Speaker 1: Normally this would be the lead, but somebody went to
Speaker 1: the beach. Shane Gillis is hosting the twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: sp Awards. That is awesome. Shane told The Hollywood Reporter.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be at the SP's of this year.
Speaker 1: I like sports, so this should be a good time.
Speaker 1: He's like the perfect post for that too, and good
Speaker 1: content for the podcast. Craig Lazarus is the executive producer
Speaker 1: of the SP's. He said Shane is not only one
Speaker 1: of the top comedians today but also a huge sports fan,
Speaker 1: which made him an easy choice to host the SP's.
Speaker 1: We're through all the work with him, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: We then recap Shane's career. You know, LESNL podcast doing
Speaker 1: just fine. It's being a podcast, Deadline has a new one.
Speaker 1: This is interesting. It is called Comedy Means Business, so
Speaker 1: it shows just how big the comedy industry has gotten.
Speaker 1: The lead off guest is Nate Brigetzie. I talked about
Speaker 1: this in the Facebook group and I'll talk about it
Speaker 1: a little bit more tomorrow. You can just tell that
Speaker 1: Nate's people are pushing the heck out of Nate right now.
Speaker 1: Every now and then, the industry gets together and decides
Speaker 1: this person's next. If you listen to the show every day,
Speaker 1: we see a couple of these, maybe twice three times
Speaker 1: a year. But right now now everybody's in on Nate,
Speaker 1: and we're pushing Nate, and you're gonna like Nate. Nate's
Speaker 1: a superstar. And if you don't like that, too bad,
Speaker 1: because here's another article and I like Nate. But it's
Speaker 1: like tap the breaks, people tap the breaks. On the podcast,
Speaker 1: Nate says he's moving away from the all consuming nature
Speaker 1: of the most expansive globe trotting touring a comic can do.
Speaker 1: He'll do so now because he understands how much obsession
Speaker 1: you have to have, how much focus you have to
Speaker 1: have to get to where he's currently. What he needs
Speaker 1: to do to achieve the same level of success with
Speaker 1: the ventures he takes on. Next Nate's hosting the Emmys
Speaker 1: in September, so more push Push, Push, Push Push. The
Speaker 1: Comedy Means Business podcast every other week on Monday, although
Speaker 1: for the first month they're doing a pod every Monday.
Speaker 1: The Nate one is out. I just discovered this as
Speaker 1: I put the show together this morning, so I haven't
Speaker 1: listened to it yet. Next week's episode is called long
Speaker 1: Live the State, a documentary on the iconic sketch group
Speaker 1: The State that's stilling. We'll have a special called The
Speaker 1: Landlord July seconds on the streaming platform Veeps. There will
Speaker 1: also be an audio version. I always like that. On August.
Speaker 1: The Landlord was filmed in Denver and described as a
Speaker 1: story heavy caboose about nosy, unhinged landlords. If you've ever
Speaker 1: had to pay irritating lunatics in exchange for shelter, then
Speaker 1: this is the special for you. I like that a lot.
Speaker 1: Delling hopes everyone watching laughs so loudly they make their
Speaker 1: downstairs neighbor jealous. Hell, let's clear this out. This has
Speaker 1: been around all week Margaret Show for some reason, talking
Speaker 1: about Ellen Joe recently revealed Ellen was really weird not
Speaker 1: nice to me for most of my career. I opened
Speaker 1: for her in the nineteen eighties when she was a
Speaker 1: headliner in comedy clubs. Later, when I would do her
Speaker 1: talk show in the two thousands, she would act like
Speaker 1: we just met, and I'm like, bitch, what that's weird?
Speaker 1: We go way back. It's so creepy and weird. Wow,
Speaker 1: I can't believe Ellen isn't a nice person? Did we
Speaker 1: know this? Tina Fey and Amy played Atlantic City over
Speaker 1: the weekend. They opened with a rapid fire monologue similar
Speaker 1: to what they do with the Golden Globes. Tina told
Speaker 1: the crowd Ben Affleck is not here. He's home going
Speaker 1: through his contacts looking for more Jennifers to bother. It's
Speaker 1: a wacky Tina. That's a hack joke. Tina, come on,
Speaker 1: that's a hack. Probably played well with the crowd, but
Speaker 1: that's a hack joke. Amy Pohlar on Nicole Kidman. Nicole
Speaker 1: Kidman is not here tonight. She's too busy being in
Speaker 1: every single movie a TV show in her name. Whoa whoa? Amy?
Speaker 1: Are you making fun of people? Are you appropriating the
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman character whoa whoa, whoa whoa? Los Angeles is
Speaker 1: gonna disown you. You better fall on your sword like
Speaker 1: you did last week for whatever it is you feel
Speaker 1: guilty about doing on SNL. WHOA what a brutal swipe?
Speaker 1: And Nicole Kidman, who are you? Joe Coy it's gonna
Speaker 1: face turn Leo DiCaprio is not here, I assume because
Speaker 1: Amy and I have a combined age of one hundred
Speaker 1: and five. And then the entire reason I'm bringing this
Speaker 1: up is because there's a Megan Markle joke and I'm
Speaker 1: the writer on the Palace Intrigue podcast where we talk
Speaker 1: about the Royal family seven days a week and often
Speaker 1: make fun of Megan Markle, and unlike Amy Poehler, I
Speaker 1: don't feel guilty at all. Amy Pohler, though, going full
Speaker 1: Joe Coy here said Megan Markle's not here tonight. She's
Speaker 1: putting flower sprinkles on cookies and Piers Morgan is furiously
Speaker 1: raged masturbating about it. Wow, boy, you better apologize to
Speaker 1: Piers Morgan. What a vicious Amy Pohlar, What has gotten
Speaker 1: into you? Unbelievable? We're gonna have to cancel Amy Poehler,
Speaker 1: for these vicious jokes. Friend of the show John Marco
Speaker 1: SIRESI podcast must be doing pretty well. It's called the
Speaker 1: Downside and it's moving to Headgum. John Marco saidam So
Speaker 1: Jazz to bring our listeners. The one thing they've always
Speaker 1: complained our podcast is missing ad reads. I feel you,
Speaker 1: you know, otherwise this is just an expensive hobby. As
Speaker 1: I like to say, are you watching Love Island? Everyone
Speaker 1: in my house under the age of me is watching
Speaker 1: Love Island. This is like the biggest topic in the house.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what are you people watching? What are
Speaker 1: you talking about it? And then I go down to
Speaker 1: the basement and record podcasts. Ian Sterling, comedian and voice
Speaker 1: behind Love Island USA, is returning to the US with
Speaker 1: a brand new stand up comedy show, Ian Sterling Live.
Speaker 1: My kids will be excited. He'll be in LA on
Speaker 1: October twenty second and New York City October twenty ninth.
Speaker 1: Sterling told Deadline, hopefully people that have enjoyed me on
Speaker 1: Love Island and particularly enjoyed my voice, just seen what
Speaker 1: I've been doing for fifteen years, which is stand up.
Speaker 1: It's my chance to show America this is what I
Speaker 1: do and I'm not just a guy in a dark
Speaker 1: room behind a microphone. That is your comedy news for today.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what Amy Poehler is gonna do next.
Speaker 1: She's really out there. I mean, those jokes were just vicious.
Speaker 1: She should apologize. Just terrible. All right, I'll see tomorrow
