00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Joenni Mack with your

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>comedians in the comedy industry. I've kind of given up

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>on Rooster. I liked the first episode, Episode two was

5
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.760
<v Speaker 1>not as good, and then the third episode last week

6
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>made me give up on the show. My wife agrees

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>with me. Robbie Hoffman now on the show, she says

8
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>she botched every interaction she had with Steve Carell. Robbie explained,

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>I botched it every time he said hi to him

10
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>because it's impossible not to be starstruck with him, and

11
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 1>he's such a classy man. I have my brother going

12
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to jask about the office? Did you ask? And it's like,

13
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't really just be asking about the office. But

14
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>finally I asked about the office. I literally had to say, Hey,

15
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>my brother loved you in the office. I'm sad that

16
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it because I like Corell, I like

17
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Bill Lawrence, I love McGinley. Just didn't work for me.

18
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Nate Pergetzi famously a clean comedian. He said he didn't

19
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>always surround himself with a clean comedian. He said, it's

20
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of like school, you just find your group that

21
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of going to be with. Really, my group,

22
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I was the closest to with the dirtiest comedians, Big

23
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Jay Okerson, Louis J. Gomez, Dan Soder was the dirtiest.

24
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I'd open for them, he explains, though my mind didn't

25
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>go the root of writing that kind of way, and

26
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I never wanted to make someone feel bad in the crowd.

27
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>He recalled one time he made a joke about prostitutes

28
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>getting murdered by a serial killer in New York. He said,

29
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 1>it worked very much on a young comic. It works

30
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>very much in those rooms. And then I didn't put

31
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>it up on YouTube, but it got put up on YouTube.

32
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>A prostitute saw it and was upset. Nate said, look,

33
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was going to

34
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>go up. I won't do that joke again. Jim Gaffigan

35
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>will be the keynote speaker at the NACDS Foundation. They're

36
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>holding their twenty eighth Annual Foundation Dinner August fifteenth at

37
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the Omniboston Hotel at the Seaport. The event gathers industry

38
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>leaders to support the foundation's mission of advancing public health

39
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and promoting healthier communities. Kevin Nealan was in the headlines

40
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of bragging that he never broke character on SNL.

41
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>He said, I knew much time the writer's putting all

42
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>those scripts. You don't want to be the one who

43
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>throws it off. Michael's doesn't like when the cast breaks.

44
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Even if the audience laughs, it doesn't work for the sketch.

45
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>If you want to example that, watch the famous more

46
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 1>cow Bell sketch TIV follons kind of losing in the background.

47
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Chiechin' Chong's Last Movie will be added to Paramount Plus

48
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on April twentieth, four to twenty. If you're in the know,

49
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Cheiach and Chong's Last Movie follows two of comedy's best

50
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>buds on a long, laugh fill drive to a place

51
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 1>called the Joint. Along the way, they reflect on their

52
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>lifelong friendship from childhood to the heights of their careers

53
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>in the sixties through the eighties, and beyond their breakup,

54
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and exploring how their counterculture stoner humor evolved in a

55
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>brand that stands strong over fifty years later, with the

56
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>catalog of movies, pack concerts, platinum selling records, and even

57
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>a mobile game. Interspersed is archival footage, moments from the do,

58
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 1>on screen and on stage, animations, interviews and more. I

59
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 1>got to remember, I've been talking about how I've been

60
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>reflecting on people I've met over the years. I met

61
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>these guys. I'm going to add them to my little

62
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 1>note here that I'm making, just as I randomly remember

63
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that I've met people. I'm just putting them in a

64
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 1>notepad on my MacBook. I don't know what I'm doing

65
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>with this, but I just like to keep lists. The

66
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Chronicle caught up with Alid the topic how to

67
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 1>have the best day ever in Houston. I've never been

68
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>to Houston, so I can't comment on this. Seven thirty

69
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, he runs a few miles, at least

70
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>three miles at Tom Bass Park. If we're not doing

71
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the full six and a half miles, that's a good

72
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 1>solid run. At eleven fifteen he starts taking phone calls

73
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 1>and meetings to start the day. Now, what happens between seven?

74
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 1>So if he runs six and a half miles at

75
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 1>a reasonable clip, and he starts at seven point thirty,

76
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>he would be done by nine o'clock almost definitely sooner

77
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 1>than that, I guess he goes home and showers. Then

78
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>eleven fifteen he starts taking phone calls and meetings to

79
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 1>start the day. At one o'clock, he visits the reggae bodega.

80
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>At four o'clock, you go to the grocery store. At six,

81
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>he hugs his daughter after school. At eight thirty, he

82
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>goes to see his mom. He walks the dog. Mom

83
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>lives down the street. All right, that works out. At

84
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>nine to thirty, he eats dinner with his wife and kids.

85
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>He hopes his wife is making enchiladas. If she's making enchiladas,

86
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm all in. My wife is great enchiladas. We have

87
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>a late day, and at midnight he passes out on

88
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the couch for a little while watching sports. So if

89
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting this right, you get up and you run,

90
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you have some menchaladas, and you pass out on the

91
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>couch watching sports. We're more alike than I realized. What

92
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>do you say? We hit Bill Burr's Facebook page and

93
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>see what's going on. Oh, here's a post. Bill is

94
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>posted live at south By Southwest is available now on YouTube. Okay,

95
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 1>let's see what people are saying in the comments about

96
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Bill Burr. Jonathan wrote, Billy Blood money is all gas,

97
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 1>no brakes. Keith roat my jokes are paid for with

98
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 1>blood money. Dave says bonesaw, Bill has some observations. Paru

99
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>said bagdad Bill is on fire. Eric said it's Billy Burka.

100
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Gabriel got right to it and said go back to

101
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia, you ef ing sellout. Now, that's not Gabriel Iglacias.

102
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 1>It's a different Gabriel. Jared posted Bill, I was very

103
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>disappointed at the North Korea show. Can you please respond

104
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 1>to my refund email? Bill Burr did not help his

105
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 1>career going to Riodd. A lot of comedians went nothing happened,

106
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>but Bill Burr, for some reason of everybody, seems to

107
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>have taken on the most damage of that. Donal Rawlings

108
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 1>became emotional while reflecting on the loss of Charlie Murphy.

109
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Donnelle was on the Wei in Miami podcast. He was

110
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>asked about Charlie Murphy passing away in twenty seventeen. Donnelle

111
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>said it was very difficult because it was like the

112
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>big brother that I never had. He also shared an anecdote,

113
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the only time I ever saw Charlie show any emotion

114
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>other than being a super hard tough guys. When he

115
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 1>was losing his wife, he cried on the phone with me.

116
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen him emotional, vulnerable or anything. It was weird.

117
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Charlie's wife, Tisha Taylor Murphy, passed away of cervical cancer

118
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>in December two thousand and nine. From The Times Union,

119
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>a Saratoga Springs hatshop interaction became a standout moment and

120
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Chris Fleming's HBO special, turning former clerk Randy Jackson into

121
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>an unexpected character. Jackson until The Times Union Chris Fleming

122
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 1>was unfortunately correct. I'm definitely sort of an old lady

123
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>trapped in a young man's body. The jazz age, flapper

124
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of it all has never left me. On the day

125
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Chris Flemmings special premiered, Jackson woke up to a message

126
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 1>from a high school classmate. The mess told Jackson that

127
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Chris Fleming had dedicated a length excitement of his new

128
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>special to an interaction he had with the hat salesman.

129
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Jackson said, it was so funny. Jackson reached out to

130
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Chris Flemming over Instagram to let him know he love

131
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the biddy said I found him, and I said, I'm

132
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 1>the ancient hat boy, I'm the Ancient Demon. Charlie Burns

133
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 1>will perform at the twenty twenty six Lumberjack World Championships.

134
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Athletes from around the globe will compete in twenty one

135
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 1>events that test strength, agility, balance and precision. Spectators can

136
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>expect thrilling competitions including log rolling, boom running, shopping, sawing,

137
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 1>ax throwing, and speed climbing shoecasing the elite skills of

138
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>professional timber sports athletes. The New York Times under the

139
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>headline at dinners over jokes with comedians Epstein, Yeah, that

140
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Epstein honed his networking. They dove into the file and

141
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>apparently Jeffrey Epstein sought relationships with comedians. The New York

142
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Times reports in twenty fourteen, Jeffrey Epstein wanted a bunch

143
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>of comedians to join him for dinner at an Italian

144
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>restaurant on the Upper east Side. Chris Rock was high

145
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>in his list. David Brynner was it, probably then a yes,

146
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 1>then ultimately in no. He was under the weather. Lewis

147
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Black was not to be invited. Apparently Jeffrey Epstein had

148
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 1>not found Lewis Black funny when he had come over

149
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a year earlier, Chris Rock said no because he had

150
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 1>plans with his daughter. Bobby Slayton emailed Jeffrey Epstein ahead

151
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>of the dinner and said, now the pressure's on me

152
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 1>to carry all the funny unless Woody decides to chip in.

153
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>The Woody believed to be Woody Allen, The New York

154
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Times reminds us none of the comedians have been accused

155
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>of any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and nothing an

156
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>email suggests that meeting women was part of the rationale

157
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.399
<v Speaker 1>for the gatherings. The New York Times further reminds us

158
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Epstein was an earnest fan of comedy who attended shows

159
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 1>in Manhattan, Palm Beach and Montreal. Jackie the joke Man

160
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Martling is quoted here as saying, Jeffrey Epstein told Jackie

161
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 1>over a meal, anybody that's really smart loves jokes because

162
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>they're little problems and the way they work themselves out.

163
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Further reporting from The Times. After one dinner in twenty

164
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 1>five fifteen, Jeffrey Epstein emailed Nick Depolo, writing, thanks for

165
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>coming last night. If okay with you, I will contact

166
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you on my return to New York. Topoulo wrote back,

167
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>give me a little time to process that last part.

168
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>As you know, you're a bit of a controversial guy.

169
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean no offense by that at all, l ol.

170
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>The Time says to Polo did not reply to request

171
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 1>for comment, Neither did Rock Allen, Lewis Black, or Jackie Martling.

172
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Times further says Lewis Black, Slayton, and Jackie have said

173
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>in interviews that they never saw Epstein hanging out with

174
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 1>underage girls. Layton told a Daily Beast reporter he felt

175
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 1>obliged to visit and let's not wrap up on that story.

176
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Let me get a little silly here. I'm worried about

177
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Tim Meadows. Why worried about Tim Meadows? Johnny mack Well.

178
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Tim Meadows says his funniest friend is Adam Sandler. Why

179
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>why there's nothing funny about the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler.

180
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>How do you find him funny? Tim Meadows? Who? Again,

181
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I've never met Tim Meadows. What I'm worried about you now?

182
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Tim Meadows said it. I know a lot of very

183
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>funny people, but Sadler, I think for me is the

184
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 1>funniest because I've known him so long. We have a

185
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.759
<v Speaker 1>really good friend. We have bits that we do with

186
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>each other from thirty years ago. Then you create new

187
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 1>bits whenever you hang out with them. He loves to

188
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 1>laugh and he loves to do bits. I think he's

189
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the funniest people I know, just in terms

190
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of talking and hanging out. We can be ourselves with

191
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 1>each other, all right, So maybe he's like really funny

192
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.639
<v Speaker 1>in person. That just doesn't translate to anything on say

193
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night Live or movies. All right, that makes sense.

194
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm less worried about tim Meadows now. I wait, I

195
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 1>should have kept reading. I'm worried about tim Meadows again,

196
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 1>he said. I always say there's very few people from

197
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 1>SNL I would drive across the country with. But David

198
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Spade is probably in my top three or four people

199
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 1>that I could do that with. To each their own.

200
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 1>And that is your comedy news for today. I'll see tomorrow.
