Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Joenni Mack with your
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy
Speaker 1: comedians in the comedy industry. I've kind of given up
Speaker 1: on Rooster. I liked the first episode, Episode two was
Speaker 1: not as good, and then the third episode last week
Speaker 1: made me give up on the show. My wife agrees
Speaker 1: with me. Robbie Hoffman now on the show, she says
Speaker 1: she botched every interaction she had with Steve Carell. Robbie explained,
Speaker 1: I botched it every time he said hi to him
Speaker 1: because it's impossible not to be starstruck with him, and
Speaker 1: he's such a classy man. I have my brother going
Speaker 1: to jask about the office? Did you ask? And it's like,
Speaker 1: I can't really just be asking about the office. But
Speaker 1: finally I asked about the office. I literally had to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: my brother loved you in the office. I'm sad that
Speaker 1: I don't like it because I like Corell, I like
Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence, I love McGinley. Just didn't work for me.
Speaker 1: Nate Pergetzi famously a clean comedian. He said he didn't
Speaker 1: always surround himself with a clean comedian. He said, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like school, you just find your group that
Speaker 1: you're kind of going to be with. Really, my group,
Speaker 1: I was the closest to with the dirtiest comedians, Big
Speaker 1: Jay Okerson, Louis J. Gomez, Dan Soder was the dirtiest.
Speaker 1: I'd open for them, he explains, though my mind didn't
Speaker 1: go the root of writing that kind of way, and
Speaker 1: I never wanted to make someone feel bad in the crowd.
Speaker 1: He recalled one time he made a joke about prostitutes
Speaker 1: getting murdered by a serial killer in New York. He said,
Speaker 1: it worked very much on a young comic. It works
Speaker 1: very much in those rooms. And then I didn't put
Speaker 1: it up on YouTube, but it got put up on YouTube.
Speaker 1: A prostitute saw it and was upset. Nate said, look,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was going to
Speaker 1: go up. I won't do that joke again. Jim Gaffigan
Speaker 1: will be the keynote speaker at the NACDS Foundation. They're
Speaker 1: holding their twenty eighth Annual Foundation Dinner August fifteenth at
Speaker 1: the Omniboston Hotel at the Seaport. The event gathers industry
Speaker 1: leaders to support the foundation's mission of advancing public health
Speaker 1: and promoting healthier communities. Kevin Nealan was in the headlines
Speaker 1: kind of bragging that he never broke character on SNL.
Speaker 1: He said, I knew much time the writer's putting all
Speaker 1: those scripts. You don't want to be the one who
Speaker 1: throws it off. Michael's doesn't like when the cast breaks.
Speaker 1: Even if the audience laughs, it doesn't work for the sketch.
Speaker 1: If you want to example that, watch the famous more
Speaker 1: cow Bell sketch TIV follons kind of losing in the background.
Speaker 1: Chiechin' Chong's Last Movie will be added to Paramount Plus
Speaker 1: on April twentieth, four to twenty. If you're in the know,
Speaker 1: Cheiach and Chong's Last Movie follows two of comedy's best
Speaker 1: buds on a long, laugh fill drive to a place
Speaker 1: called the Joint. Along the way, they reflect on their
Speaker 1: lifelong friendship from childhood to the heights of their careers
Speaker 1: in the sixties through the eighties, and beyond their breakup,
Speaker 1: and exploring how their counterculture stoner humor evolved in a
Speaker 1: brand that stands strong over fifty years later, with the
Speaker 1: catalog of movies, pack concerts, platinum selling records, and even
Speaker 1: a mobile game. Interspersed is archival footage, moments from the do,
Speaker 1: on screen and on stage, animations, interviews and more. I
Speaker 1: got to remember, I've been talking about how I've been
Speaker 1: reflecting on people I've met over the years. I met
Speaker 1: these guys. I'm going to add them to my little
Speaker 1: note here that I'm making, just as I randomly remember
Speaker 1: that I've met people. I'm just putting them in a
Speaker 1: notepad on my MacBook. I don't know what I'm doing
Speaker 1: with this, but I just like to keep lists. The
Speaker 1: Eastern Chronicle caught up with Alid the topic how to
Speaker 1: have the best day ever in Houston. I've never been
Speaker 1: to Houston, so I can't comment on this. Seven thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning, he runs a few miles, at least
Speaker 1: three miles at Tom Bass Park. If we're not doing
Speaker 1: the full six and a half miles, that's a good
Speaker 1: solid run. At eleven fifteen he starts taking phone calls
Speaker 1: and meetings to start the day. Now, what happens between seven?
Speaker 1: So if he runs six and a half miles at
Speaker 1: a reasonable clip, and he starts at seven point thirty,
Speaker 1: he would be done by nine o'clock almost definitely sooner
Speaker 1: than that, I guess he goes home and showers. Then
Speaker 1: eleven fifteen he starts taking phone calls and meetings to
Speaker 1: start the day. At one o'clock, he visits the reggae bodega.
Speaker 1: At four o'clock, you go to the grocery store. At six,
Speaker 1: he hugs his daughter after school. At eight thirty, he
Speaker 1: goes to see his mom. He walks the dog. Mom
Speaker 1: lives down the street. All right, that works out. At
Speaker 1: nine to thirty, he eats dinner with his wife and kids.
Speaker 1: He hopes his wife is making enchiladas. If she's making enchiladas,
Speaker 1: I'm all in. My wife is great enchiladas. We have
Speaker 1: a late day, and at midnight he passes out on
Speaker 1: the couch for a little while watching sports. So if
Speaker 1: I'm getting this right, you get up and you run,
Speaker 1: you have some menchaladas, and you pass out on the
Speaker 1: couch watching sports. We're more alike than I realized. What
Speaker 1: do you say? We hit Bill Burr's Facebook page and
Speaker 1: see what's going on. Oh, here's a post. Bill is
Speaker 1: posted live at south By Southwest is available now on YouTube. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's see what people are saying in the comments about
Speaker 1: Bill Burr. Jonathan wrote, Billy Blood money is all gas,
Speaker 1: no brakes. Keith roat my jokes are paid for with
Speaker 1: blood money. Dave says bonesaw, Bill has some observations. Paru
Speaker 1: said bagdad Bill is on fire. Eric said it's Billy Burka.
Speaker 1: Gabriel got right to it and said go back to
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, you ef ing sellout. Now, that's not Gabriel Iglacias.
Speaker 1: It's a different Gabriel. Jared posted Bill, I was very
Speaker 1: disappointed at the North Korea show. Can you please respond
Speaker 1: to my refund email? Bill Burr did not help his
Speaker 1: career going to Riodd. A lot of comedians went nothing happened,
Speaker 1: but Bill Burr, for some reason of everybody, seems to
Speaker 1: have taken on the most damage of that. Donal Rawlings
Speaker 1: became emotional while reflecting on the loss of Charlie Murphy.
Speaker 1: Donnelle was on the Wei in Miami podcast. He was
Speaker 1: asked about Charlie Murphy passing away in twenty seventeen. Donnelle
Speaker 1: said it was very difficult because it was like the
Speaker 1: big brother that I never had. He also shared an anecdote,
Speaker 1: the only time I ever saw Charlie show any emotion
Speaker 1: other than being a super hard tough guys. When he
Speaker 1: was losing his wife, he cried on the phone with me.
Speaker 1: I've never seen him emotional, vulnerable or anything. It was weird.
Speaker 1: Charlie's wife, Tisha Taylor Murphy, passed away of cervical cancer
Speaker 1: in December two thousand and nine. From The Times Union,
Speaker 1: a Saratoga Springs hatshop interaction became a standout moment and
Speaker 1: Chris Fleming's HBO special, turning former clerk Randy Jackson into
Speaker 1: an unexpected character. Jackson until The Times Union Chris Fleming
Speaker 1: was unfortunately correct. I'm definitely sort of an old lady
Speaker 1: trapped in a young man's body. The jazz age, flapper
Speaker 1: of it all has never left me. On the day
Speaker 1: Chris Flemmings special premiered, Jackson woke up to a message
Speaker 1: from a high school classmate. The mess told Jackson that
Speaker 1: Chris Fleming had dedicated a length excitement of his new
Speaker 1: special to an interaction he had with the hat salesman.
Speaker 1: Jackson said, it was so funny. Jackson reached out to
Speaker 1: Chris Flemming over Instagram to let him know he love
Speaker 1: the biddy said I found him, and I said, I'm
Speaker 1: the ancient hat boy, I'm the Ancient Demon. Charlie Burns
Speaker 1: will perform at the twenty twenty six Lumberjack World Championships.
Speaker 1: Athletes from around the globe will compete in twenty one
Speaker 1: events that test strength, agility, balance and precision. Spectators can
Speaker 1: expect thrilling competitions including log rolling, boom running, shopping, sawing,
Speaker 1: ax throwing, and speed climbing shoecasing the elite skills of
Speaker 1: professional timber sports athletes. The New York Times under the
Speaker 1: headline at dinners over jokes with comedians Epstein, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: Epstein honed his networking. They dove into the file and
Speaker 1: apparently Jeffrey Epstein sought relationships with comedians. The New York
Speaker 1: Times reports in twenty fourteen, Jeffrey Epstein wanted a bunch
Speaker 1: of comedians to join him for dinner at an Italian
Speaker 1: restaurant on the Upper east Side. Chris Rock was high
Speaker 1: in his list. David Brynner was it, probably then a yes,
Speaker 1: then ultimately in no. He was under the weather. Lewis
Speaker 1: Black was not to be invited. Apparently Jeffrey Epstein had
Speaker 1: not found Lewis Black funny when he had come over
Speaker 1: a year earlier, Chris Rock said no because he had
Speaker 1: plans with his daughter. Bobby Slayton emailed Jeffrey Epstein ahead
Speaker 1: of the dinner and said, now the pressure's on me
Speaker 1: to carry all the funny unless Woody decides to chip in.
Speaker 1: The Woody believed to be Woody Allen, The New York
Speaker 1: Times reminds us none of the comedians have been accused
Speaker 1: of any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and nothing an
Speaker 1: email suggests that meeting women was part of the rationale
Speaker 1: for the gatherings. The New York Times further reminds us
Speaker 1: Epstein was an earnest fan of comedy who attended shows
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, Palm Beach and Montreal. Jackie the joke Man
Speaker 1: Martling is quoted here as saying, Jeffrey Epstein told Jackie
Speaker 1: over a meal, anybody that's really smart loves jokes because
Speaker 1: they're little problems and the way they work themselves out.
Speaker 1: Further reporting from The Times. After one dinner in twenty
Speaker 1: five fifteen, Jeffrey Epstein emailed Nick Depolo, writing, thanks for
Speaker 1: coming last night. If okay with you, I will contact
Speaker 1: you on my return to New York. Topoulo wrote back,
Speaker 1: give me a little time to process that last part.
Speaker 1: As you know, you're a bit of a controversial guy.
Speaker 1: I mean no offense by that at all, l ol.
Speaker 1: The Time says to Polo did not reply to request
Speaker 1: for comment, Neither did Rock Allen, Lewis Black, or Jackie Martling.
Speaker 1: Times further says Lewis Black, Slayton, and Jackie have said
Speaker 1: in interviews that they never saw Epstein hanging out with
Speaker 1: underage girls. Layton told a Daily Beast reporter he felt
Speaker 1: obliged to visit and let's not wrap up on that story.
Speaker 1: Let me get a little silly here. I'm worried about
Speaker 1: Tim Meadows. Why worried about Tim Meadows? Johnny mack Well.
Speaker 1: Tim Meadows says his funniest friend is Adam Sandler. Why
Speaker 1: why there's nothing funny about the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1: How do you find him funny? Tim Meadows? Who? Again,
Speaker 1: I've never met Tim Meadows. What I'm worried about you now?
Speaker 1: Tim Meadows said it. I know a lot of very
Speaker 1: funny people, but Sadler, I think for me is the
Speaker 1: funniest because I've known him so long. We have a
Speaker 1: really good friend. We have bits that we do with
Speaker 1: each other from thirty years ago. Then you create new
Speaker 1: bits whenever you hang out with them. He loves to
Speaker 1: laugh and he loves to do bits. I think he's
Speaker 1: one of the funniest people I know, just in terms
Speaker 1: of talking and hanging out. We can be ourselves with
Speaker 1: each other, all right, So maybe he's like really funny
Speaker 1: in person. That just doesn't translate to anything on say
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live or movies. All right, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: I'm less worried about tim Meadows now. I wait, I
Speaker 1: should have kept reading. I'm worried about tim Meadows again,
Speaker 1: he said. I always say there's very few people from
Speaker 1: SNL I would drive across the country with. But David
Speaker 1: Spade is probably in my top three or four people
Speaker 1: that I could do that with. To each their own.
Speaker 1: And that is your comedy news for today. I'll see tomorrow.
