00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.919
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 1>daily comedy news. Tomorrow at Wrigley Field in Chicago, John

3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>mulaney will host the very first comedy show at Wrigley Field.

4
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>He caught up with WB e Z. Mlaney said, I

5
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>can't pretend I ever thought sitting there that I'm gonna

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>do stand up near second base. But it's a full

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>circle moment in a lot of ways. I mean to

8
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>sit there as a kid watching Andre Dawson, Ryan Sandberg,

9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Mark Grace and to now be standing roughly where Mark

10
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 1>Grace would be ripping cigarettes during games. John said, last

11
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>summer they asked me to do a show about Wrigley Field.

12
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Wriggley did no comedian has played Wriggley and they said,

13
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 1>would you like to play Wrigley Field? I'm pretty sure.

14
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>In the same breath they said you'd be the first

15
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to do it, and I said, Okay, definitely. Malady said,

16
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what I'm excited about this week. I

17
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>just informed my son that all of the city burned

18
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>down in eighteen seventy one because it was all made

19
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of wood. I know there's nuances to the story. It

20
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>was all made of wood, except for the water tower.

21
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Everything burned down. Nothing's ever intrigued him more about Chicago.

22
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 1>So now we're going to go to the Chicago History

23
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Museum to see photos of the city on fire, which

24
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>he's very excited to see. Now, this is pretty funny.

25
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>We're in the weeds here. One of the interviewers is

26
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>named Michelangelo Dagostino. Michelangelo said to Malani, it's a fellow

27
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Saint Ignacius grat I was disappointed earlier when you talked

28
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>about the Chicago fire and you're like, yeah, the whole

29
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 1>city bird down except the water tower. But you forgot

30
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>to tell your kid that sant Ignacius also survived the

31
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Chicago fire. Malaney said, what parts of sant Ignacius? Michelangelo said,

32
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I guess the oldest part. Melaney said, Were you two

33
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 1>years ahead of me at sant Ignatius? Michaelangelo said, I

34
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 1>was in your brother's class. Yeah, m'laney said Michelangelo Dagastino.

35
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Michelangelo said, yeah, that's mem'laney said, valedictorian of your class.

36
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>And you don't even know which building survived. You call

37
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>me uple to comment. I come in here, try and

38
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 1>entertain the people of Chicago and you come at me

39
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>like that. Then they got into some saint ignacious minutia.

40
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 1>You could read the article Melany who talked about Chicago

41
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 1>and said, it feels like you live in a small

42
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>town in a lot of truly nice ways. I don't

43
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 1>have many complaints about that at all. You walk by

44
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>people and they go like, good lie suck at Wrigley

45
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's great. So I'd be saying famous in Chicago's

46
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the best situations a human being can ask for.

47
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 1>It is ninety nine percent friendly, and when it's hostile,

48
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 1>it's hilarious. They asked John Mulaney what younger stand ups

49
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 1>or comics should we be keeping an eye on. Mulaney said,

50
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>definitely super establishment comedian profile to The New York Times

51
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Robbie Hoffman, he named checked Andrea Jinn and Mendal who

52
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>are opening for him. I'd also say Langston Kerman from Chicago.

53
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>You've seen him on Abbot Elementary. Speaking of Chicago, the

54
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>three one two Comedy Festival is returning to Chicago this fall.

55
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Nicki Glazer, Michelle Wolf, Alisi Diek, and Burke Krascher are

56
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>among some of the comedians who will be in Chicago

57
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 1>November fifth through the fifteenth, which makes me want to go.

58
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Venues include the Chicago Theater, Park West, the VIC Theater,

59
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Zanies Rosemont, All Great Venues eleven day line up. Now,

60
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I was clicking through the lineup and I saw John

61
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Pinnett on the schedule, and I was like, isn't John

62
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Pinnett dead? And I and I checked yes. John Pinnette

63
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>passed away April fifth, twenty fourteen, at the age of

64
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>fifty in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he'd been attending a family wedding.

65
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 1>So that I was like, huh, oh, it's a screening.

66
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Apparently there is a John Pinnett documentary. Do you guys

67
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>know John Pinnette? I feel like he's like he never

68
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>comes up. Obviously he's no longer around, but you know,

69
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>one of those great comedians from early this century that

70
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't get talked about, like like Richard Jenny who

71
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, crossover from the nineties, Robert Shimmel. These guys

72
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>never their name's never come up anymore. I mean, I

73
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>get it they're dead, but I don't know. They had

74
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good careers anyway. If you didn't know John, he

75
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>was a heavy set fellow and did a lot of

76
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 1>jokes related to that, which is why I'm sharing it.

77
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Very very funny comedian and apparently there was a documentary

78
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 1>made about him in twenty twenty. I will play the

79
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>trailer for you. It's about two minutes long. Some of

80
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the voices you will hear are Jim Gaffigan and Kathleen Manigan.

81
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a show. Everybody else is in act.

82
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>He had such a distinct style. He was so self deprecating.

83
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm John, I'm your slim, fast representative for the evening.

84
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 2>He was like a force of nature.

85
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>When he rocked a room, every person is howling.

86
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Please welcome John him.

87
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 3>He had that cherubic face with glenns and he had

88
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 3>gotten his accounting degree and was working at the bank.

89
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 3>I was here the night that John first came on stage.

90
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 3>One of those things that you just you knew it.

91
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of the new suit? I think

92
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 1>it makes me look fast. He had a fanatical fan following.

93
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.079
<v Speaker 2>It's like the Beatles or something, and.

94
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>We were selling out venues all over the place. He

95
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 1>was making twenty thousand a weekend. John could become a

96
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>major television start.

97
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>He imploded. Every comedian has a self destructive streak. John

98
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>is a guy who overindulged in everything. Would just like

99
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 2>hammer pills and then eat them, and I'm like, what

100
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 2>are those idle though?

101
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>But you'll feel wonderful. He thought that if he lost

102
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>weight he would affect his career because he's known as

103
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the big guy. I'm actually writing a book around the

104
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>world in eighty buffets. John was always wanting to get better.

105
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>It's prescription drugs, which are pretty much the number one

106
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 1>probably in America, and John became right in the middle

107
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>of it. One train it took me. There was sixty

108
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 1>minute workout. He said, once you start, you get addicted.

109
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so.

110
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 3>We've lost a lot of people in comedy.

111
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 2>John isn't the first friend that.

112
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 1>We've lost great minds but tortured souls. Well, I have

113
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of friends that came out tonight to see

114
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>me be fifty. Well, let's all meet at.

115
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>My hundredth Shall we.

116
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Love the memories? I don't remember that documentary coming out.

117
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 1>It came out in twenty twenty. There was a pandemic,

118
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>but I was doing the show during the pandem and

119
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 1>I would have been desperate to talk about anything during

120
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. So I don't know. Maybe they didn't promote it. Well,

121
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember it happening anyway. John Pennett, Fantastic Comedian,

122
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Hondy Joe Rogan experience. Joe Rogan spoke to Tony Hinchcliff.

123
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>The topic eventually came around to the ri odd To

124
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Festival edits here for pacing and language.

125
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Didn't know obviously, because they laughed. They thought maybe you

126
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 2>did go, or maybe Shane did go. They didn't know

127
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>that you were the two people that did say no.

128
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, Jessica Curson went and she got criticized so

129
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 2>much she gave her money away. She murdered over there.

130
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I heard so a lesbian woman from New York went

131
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to Saudi Arabia. Thom Segurro went and put a photo

132
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 2>of a Ferrari and said thanks Saudi Arabia. Yeah, but

133
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 2>everybody was very upset. But my perspective is the people

134
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 2>that are in that audience. If you're upset of the

135
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 2>people that are paying and organizing, Okay, the people that

136
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>are that audience though, that they're performing to. They don't

137
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to see American stand up comedy and

138
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>they're getting a chance to see it live and stand

139
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>up comedy like music, like literature, changes people's minds. It

140
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 2>changes all art where you see someone a different person

141
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>than you, with a totally different perspective that lives on

142
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 2>another side of the world, that says something that you

143
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 2>think is hilarious and you love it changes you know,

144
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>it changes people's perspectives. You win hearts and minds. I

145
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 2>mean that's real. Like you can change the world a

146
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit by getting people to say, hey, we kind

147
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>of are We all have a lot of shared interests.

148
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>We just want to have fun. We just want to

149
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 2>be with our friends, be with our family and do

150
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 2>what we want to do. Like everybody wants that, including

151
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 2>those people in the audience.

152
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Tony Hinchcliff the live comedy podcast Killed Tony,

153
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll go to Las Vegas to do two nights at

154
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Dobe Live at Park MGM Friday November thirteenth Saturday November fourteenth.

155
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Organizers say the show is expected to feature a lineup

156
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of special guests. Here's a weird one coming. Georgia Mayor

157
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Tony Brumbelow has challenged Brit Kraser to a round of minigolf.

158
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>The mayor did this in a very strange social media video,

159
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>which I have cut down a little. But let's listen

160
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to this.

161
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 3>Bert, the city of Coma officially invites you. You can

162
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 3>run from the Russians, but you can't run from the

163
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 3>City of Coma. Burt. I challenge your baby. It's called

164
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 3>you versus Me. One round of the hardest put putt

165
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 3>course in America. The winner gets bragging rights. The loser

166
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 3>buys lunch. How about that? Bert, You're in Atlanta all

167
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 3>the time, We're twenty minutes away. Look at what we

168
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 3>have to offer here. Have your people call my people?

169
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 3>How about that?

170
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is this a thing? Because I challenge Dve Chappelle,

171
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>John Maliney and Louis c k to a round of

172
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>mini golf, you cowards. Speaking of mini golf, Lebron James

173
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 1>trolls Kevin Hart, head of a golf competition said to

174
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>take place between Lebron James and Kevin Hart. This September,

175
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James dropped a video. I pulled the audio for

176
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 1>the video, but it doesn't really work. It's not very exciting.

177
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>But in the video we see Lebron James shopping for

178
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>children's golf clubs. He holds them up to the camera

179
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and says to Kevin Hart, these are perfect. See the

180
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 1>golf clubs are small, and Kevin Hart's not the tallest

181
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 1>fellow you've ever met. That's the humor there. Fox News

182
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 1>stirring it up. They found a Facebook clip posted by

183
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Noah or his social media team on July fourth.

184
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a discussion from a previously released episode of Trevor

185
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Noah's What Now podcast, during which Josh Johnson calls Trump

186
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 1>white's Obama. Apparently, Josh Johnson said he's Obama for white

187
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>people who hated the idea of Obama. That to me

188
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>is why I think people keep underestimating Trump. Fox News says.

189
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Josh Johnson said that people are like my great great

190
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>grandparents with these Irish immigrants. They got spit on when

191
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 1>they came here of drugs and crime. Where I'm from,

192
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>my family is on food stamps, all the stuff like that.

193
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>As a white person, which has never really talked about,

194
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and so this person had to overcome a lot just

195
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to be next to this other white person, right. Josh

196
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>goes on to say that Trump speaks to that experience.

197
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 1>The way that Obama spoke to black people or may

198
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>or may not have been having that stereotypical experience white

199
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 1>people who were the living embodiment of everything we've been

200
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>sold Black people. Go through Fox News as they reached

201
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.320
<v Speaker 1>out to Josh Johnson for comment, but he did not

202
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 1>immediately respond. Pete Holmes, this is like doing a lot

203
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 1>of press. I noticed a few things on my own,

204
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and then Paul, one of the listeners, shot me a

205
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 1>note and told me a couple other things that Pete's on.

206
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Let me find that email. Paul says, Pete Holmes was

207
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.799
<v Speaker 1>on the Burt Cast and Harland Highway. I don't know

208
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>what Pete is promoting. He will be in an upcoming movie.

209
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 1>It is an indie feature drama called Friend a Thing.

210
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Friend to Thing is set in Seattle during the spring

211
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.759
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen ninety six. Fourteen year old Ernie, a thoughtful

212
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 1>scholarship student at an elite Catholic school, finds himself torn

213
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 1>between lifelong friendships and the allure of a caars Ma

214
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>new girl. Lewis Black plays Father Briggs, these schools exacting headmaster.

215
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Pete Holmes plays mister Greeley, a homeroom teacher who's quietly

216
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 1>become the moral compass of a school built on faith.

217
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't share.

218
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Comedy stock markets.

219
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.399
<v Speaker 1>You know how the stock marker works, right, Well, every

220
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Friday we try and find value. We try and buy

221
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>low and sell high on various comedians. I don't think

222
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>we have any day Pergetzie left to sell. We've been

223
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 1>selling a lot of it. I'll just say, don't invest

224
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>in any theme park comedies right now. This UFC thing

225
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>is not going away. Or maybe I just read the

226
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Daily Beast every day. Even they keep throwing out mega

227
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>comedian Nate Brigetzi. Oh so ridiculous. All right, let's buy

228
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>some Pete Holmes. Pete's making the rounds. I don't know

229
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 1>what he's up to. He's a good guy every interview.

230
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I just really like him. And I don't think everybody

231
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 1>else is walking around going Pete Homesweet Home, Sweet Homes.

232
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 1>But there's something to Pete Holmes. Let's buy Pete Holmes.

233
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's buy Jeff a curate if you watch his Netflix special.

234
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I actually did, because what was it? Tuesday night? The

235
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>soccer was over by seven thirty and I got to

236
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>watch quote unquote TV and I put Jeff special on

237
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>let me find uh in the Facebook group here. Dylan

238
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 1>is one of the regulars in the group, and Dylan

239
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>nailed it. He wrote, He's immensely likable in his popularity

240
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.519
<v Speaker 1>is easy to understand. I just don't think his comedy

241
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 1>is anything special. He's good in his great stage presence,

242
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 1>but it feels more like a mix of CrowdWork and

243
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>anecdotes than actual comedy. That's how I felt it was.

244
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 1>It was you know, sometimes I'll describe as special, saying

245
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>it's nice company, and that's how I felt with this one.

246
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it was particularly funny, but like I

247
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 1>was like, all right, I like this guy. I won't

248
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 1>turn this off. So I kept that on. And we're

249
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna buy Vittorio Angeloni. And you're like, who's that exactly?

250
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why in a couple of seconds after

251
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 1>we got a couple of stories coming up. But you

252
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.879
<v Speaker 1>might not know the name Vittorio Angeloni. There's buzz on him.

253
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I've seen him live, so that's a you know, one

254
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>of those sneaky ones. Remember I told you to buy

255
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>some Ryan Hamilton, buy some Vittorio Angeloni. That's your comedy

256
00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 1>stock market for this week. The rest of today's show

257
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>is all British comedy. So if that's not your thing,

258
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.039
<v Speaker 1>I get it. You're dismissed. I'll see tomorrow. We'll do

259
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>a deep dive on the Office UK. Sunday's a normal episode,

260
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>but a British comedy interest. You hang around because the

261
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.279
<v Speaker 1>BBC has announced that David Mitchell. You know David Mitchell

262
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.919
<v Speaker 1>from Mitchell and Webb. He's Mitchell in Mitchell and Webb.

263
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>He's got a show called Ludwig. It's been renewed for

264
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a third series before the second series even airs. David

265
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell stars as John Ludwig Taylor, an introverted puzzle designer

266
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>who steps into the shoes of his missing twin brother,

267
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:36.279
<v Speaker 1>a detective Chief inspector. Series one was the BBC's biggest

268
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 1>scripted series since twenty twenty four, and marked the largest

269
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 1>comedy launch episode since at least twenty eighteen. In series two,

270
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell's character John takes on a new role as a

271
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>crime scene consultant for the Cambridge Police Authority. His identical

272
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>twin brother, James, remains missing, but the consultant has been

273
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 1>banned from using any police resources to look for sibling

274
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>or uncover exactly what he was investigating. But John will

275
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>not stop, Mitchell said, and I'm delighted that Ludwig will

276
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>be returning to solve more of Brotherhood's brilliant mysteries. I

277
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to get started. I never knew the subscription

278
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of my Denoment learning app. Vittorio Angeloni will start in

279
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the new comedy series Rewarding. Yeah he's got an Italian name,

280
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 1>but he's an Irish guy and I've seen him alive.

281
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>He's fantastic. Rewarding is a six sports series commissioned by

282
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>BBC Northern Ireland and US streamer Wonder Project. What's that

283
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I Don't know? Rewarding follows support workers Francis and Shanade

284
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 1>as they look after their clients to the best of

285
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 1>their abilities, sometimes at the expense of each other. Set

286
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.480
<v Speaker 1>in care facility Beacon Fold, newcomer Shanade is a sunny personality,

287
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>radiating positivity and idealism in contrast to Francis's reality and pragmatism.

288
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 1>We had told Francs and Shanaide clash, flirt and over

289
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>shaer while putting out the small flyers all around them.

290
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Diane Morgan. Some podcasters have a crushed on her. She's

291
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 1>got a new show called Anne Droid. How did Diane

292
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Morgan become a comedian in her twenty She had proper jobs,

293
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 1>working as a dental assistant, peeling potatoes and making sales

294
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.639
<v Speaker 1>calls as a telemarketer. She said, I felt like I'm

295
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>on the right track any minute now, that phone's going

296
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.559
<v Speaker 1>to ring for years. Then one day her boss at

297
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the telesales agency suggested stand up. Diane said, I was like,

298
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.399
<v Speaker 1>no way, can't think of anything worse. But she was

299
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>about to turn thirty and thought, eh, I'll try it.

300
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 1>It went all right, and I thought, oh my god,

301
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I think I might be able to do this, and

302
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>would mean doing twenty minutes being physically sick every night

303
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 1>rather than eight minutes of sitting in a telesales chair.

304
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Things change when she auditioned for Philamina Kunk. The character

305
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.639
<v Speaker 1>appears in Kunk on Shakespeare, Kunk on Earth, Cunk on Life,

306
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and now they're working on Kunk on Cinema quote because

307
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of very pretentious film people. Her new

308
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 1>show was Ann Droid, a BBC sitcom about the relationship

309
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>between a widowed pensater and her humanoid robot helper played

310
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>by Diane Morgan. Diane said, I was laughing at my friend, Oh,

311
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that'll be me, because I don't have kids that'll be

312
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 1>fed soup by a robot. The robot's carrying you to bed,

313
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the really embarrassing stuff. We were just laughing our heads off.

314
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Her droid is named Linda, who's a secondhand model with

315
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 1>a blunt man and a vacant stare. Preparation involved robots

316
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>school with a guy named Dan that leads to some

317
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>physical comedy with an unblinking gaze, rigid stance, and jerky movements.

318
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Diane said, yeah, it really hurts. I've got new respect

319
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.559
<v Speaker 1>for c three po As for the voice, she tried

320
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a hybrid of Siri and Alexa, but it didn't work.

321
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Diane said, so I looked at old style robots and

322
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it weirdly came out as Catherine Hepburn. Meanwhile, Ed Gamble

323
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>is the host of a brand new comedy show Unacceptable,

324
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>where he oversees a gaggle of comedians as they battled

325
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a sway the audience to side with their most outrageous opinions.

326
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Gamble said, I think panel shows have gotten a bad

327
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>reputation in the past of being very competitive and comedians

328
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>not giving each other room and only trying to get

329
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>their own stuff in, and I think that's changed a

330
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit now. The comedy scene seems to be a

331
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.039
<v Speaker 1>little bit more collaborative and this is a special show

332
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>because each comedian has their moment to shine, to do

333
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>their unacceptable opinion. How edgy does this get? Gamble says,

334
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I think all the opinions that are unacceptable or the

335
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.039
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing that everybody could get involved in and

336
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:58.840
<v Speaker 1>discuss and have an opinion on. There's certainly no one

337
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>saying anything where you're like, well, that's that's get upset

338
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. The Guardian watched the show. They

339
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 1>gave it two stores out of five and added that

340
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.279
<v Speaker 1>it feels completely unnecessary. The review says, you know we

341
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>don't see enough of on British TV. Romesh Wagon Nathan said,

342
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>no one ever unacceptable is for reasons that aren't totally clear.

343
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>A panel show and which comedians defend their worst opinions

344
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>in front of a studio audience who are unlikely to

345
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 1>agree with their horrible views. Richard Ayoada, who is fantastic

346
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and to be a great doctor, who by the way

347
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 1>anybody paying attention and Joanne McNally are the team captains.

348
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Ayoada does his usual deadpan thing and McNally leans in

349
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 1>her strain of entertaining over sharing, except because this is unacceptable,

350
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.079
<v Speaker 1>she has to say things like I almost bought a

351
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 1>mega hat because I like the colors. Perhaps in twenty years,

352
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>unacceptable will be a household name like never mind the

353
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 1>Buzzcocks or mock the Week. But I don't see it,

354
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>says The Guardian, And that is your comedy news for today.

355
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, we've made it through the week and what

356
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>should have been a slow week. Thank you comedians, this

357
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.119
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. Tomorrow will take a look at the Office UK.

358
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Sunday's a norrible episode. See you tomorrow.
