00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:16,280
John mullaney made a major announcement he was on the

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,359
Today Show. Let's let John tell you about it.

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: Instead of doing one show in New York City or

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,840
even three shows in New York City for my tour,

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,640
I'm going to do a very special run nine different

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,319
iconic New York City venues in nine Thank you very.

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,439
Speaker 2: Much, all right, more to tales. Mullany takes Manhattan. The

27
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:39,680
venues will range from the intimate to the massive. The

28
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:42,239
stretch begins at the Comedy Seller and works its way

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,640
up the dates. Write this down. You got a pen,

30
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:49,000
you could just hit rewind, you know, January seventh at

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,959
the Comedy Seller, than the Blue Note on the eighth,

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Joe's Pub on the ninth, Bowery Ballroom on the tenth,

33
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,959
the Music Box Theater on Broadway on January eleventh, than

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,159
the Beacon Theater January twelfth, Bernegie Hall, the thirteenth, Radio City,

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,439
the fourteenth, Madison Square Garden the fifteenth. That is great news.

36
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:09,159
If you host a daily podcast about comedy and you

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,919
find January's to be slow. Stavros Alkias will have a

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,719
new special on Netflix September eighth. It is called Uncle Stove,

39
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:20,759
taped recently at the Lyric in Baltimore, Maryland. You may

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,599
recall Stavros was going to tape this back in April,

41
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,919
but had to push it back. He was recovering from

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,759
a broken arm. No details on the story yet other

43
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,560
than you can watch it September eighth on your Netflix.

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,120
Comedy Dynamics has a deal with Jeff Dunham to distribute

45
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:37,599
his new stand up special, which is titled Jeff Dunham's

46
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,120
two hundred and fiftieth Red, White, and Blue Birthday Special.

47
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,800
That a celebration of America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,479
Ways you can celebrate America's Birthday, of course, included going

49
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:49,840
to a UFC fight at the White House like Maga,

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,400
comedian Aperghazzy, or putting out a comedy special shot entirely

51
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:58,599
on iPhones. Jeff Dunham special sees him celebrate America alongside

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,560
puppet Bells, Walter Peanut, Akamed, and Bubba Jay. Are we

53
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,199
just calling the character Akmed?

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:04,479
Speaker 1: Now?

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,759
Speaker 2: Have we dropped the the terrorist part of the character.

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,120
I gotta do some research on that. Hold on, all right,

57
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,400
chat Gibt tells me. Jef Dunham still introduces the character

58
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:17,800
as Akhimed the dead terrorist. However, I'm told in specific

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,280
countries because of local censorship or cultural sensitivities. For example,

60
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:25,960
in Malaysia, Jef Dunham has performed the character as Jacques Meherd,

61
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,000
the dead French terrorists. That's all sorts of interesting. The

62
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,159
special is currently available on YouTube. It have become available

63
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:35,719
for streaming on Prime, Apple, DirecTV and elsewhe are starting

64
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:39,199
October sixth. Dunham told Deadline as July fourth got closer

65
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:41,400
and closer and the material kept growing and getting funnier,

66
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:43,759
I thought, we have to shoot a special. With the

67
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:45,919
help of six iPhones and some of the best geeks

68
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:47,520
I know. We did it and folks are loving it.

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Gaybe Iglesias is getting another Netflix special, his tenth. He'll

70
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,719
film it in San Antonio. On Instagram, Fluffy showed off

71
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:57,599
his new Chihuahua puppy Bronco, before saying I have a

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,599
new comedy special that I'm going to be recording August twentieth,

73
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:02,319
and I wanted to let you know the city I'm

74
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:04,000
doing it in. It should come as no surprise. We're

75
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,840
supposed to do it there the first time. San Antonio.

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,319
San Antonio has been waiting five years for Gabe had

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,719
to cancel some tour dates back in twenty twenty one

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,079
after he caught COVID. Jimmy Fallon is being accused of

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,000
being a hack. When I was going through social media,

80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,279
I saw Late Night Er posted Jimmy Fallon may have

81
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,120
just earned a spot on Late Night or his year

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,720
end best jokes list. I will play the joke for

83
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,079
you in a second. But then others suggested it's not

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,439
that original. Here's Jimmy Fallon's joke. Oh get this.

85
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: I saw that a man in the UK just broke

86
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:37,759
a world record by swallowing fifteen fish sticks in one minute.

87
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: Oh gross, how did you even find him? What a pervert? Jeez,

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,519
that's disgusting.

89
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: As a family show, I thought, ugh, sticks, fish sticks?

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,439
Speaker 2: Okay, you get the joke there, you get the wordplay. However,

91
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,920
a bro Bible points out that that wordplay is at

92
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,519
least seventeen years old. It showed up in a season

93
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,759
thirteen episode of South Park titled fish Sticks that episode

94
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:05,399
co written by Bill Hayter, I'm going to deliberately slam

95
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:09,240
the words together. In that episode, Cartman and Jimmy are

96
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,639
writing a joke that becomes a viral sensation. Jimmy asks

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,240
Cartman if he has any snacks. Jimmy says there might

98
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,920
be fish sticks in the freezer. The dialogue Jimmy, do

99
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:20,839
you like fish sticks? Cartman? Yeah? Do you like putting

100
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,279
fish sticks in your mouth? Yeah? Jimmy then asks, what

101
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,439
are you a gay fish bro? Bible says fish sticks

102
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:31,160
isn't any old episode of South Park. It's widely considered

103
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:32,879
to be one of the top five or ten best

104
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,560
in the history of the series. Ricky Gervais is all

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,800
excited about Ali Katz, his animated series about cats, coming

106
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,040
to Netflix in August. It features a group of feral felines.

107
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:45,360
Derve says recording the show is his dream job and

108
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:47,079
did'd like to keep working on it for the rest

109
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:49,959
of his life. He voices Gus, the cat in the show.

110
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,480
He told The Daily Mirror, It's the first thing I've

111
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:54,360
ever created that I'd like to go on forever. I

112
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680
could see myself just making the show till I die.

113
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,839
The cats won't age, and it doesn't matter how fat

114
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,600
and old and bald I get. Someone could just put

115
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,199
me in a chair with a microphone, surrounded by the

116
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:04,360
rest of the cast. Then off we go. Won't really

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,519
matter when sanility kicks in, as I'm usually talking bs anyway,

118
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,079
it's the dream job, hey, Ricky, By then your AI

119
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,839
clone will be pretty good. We don't even need you.

120
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:15,319
Ricky assumes people will complain about the show, and he

121
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,399
said it would take a very special kind of person

122
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:20,079
to complain about what a fictional cartoon cat thought of something,

123
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:22,639
but it will happen. Please don't be offended by anything

124
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,240
these characters say or do. They can't help it. They're cats.

125
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,079
Ricky says he's always been obsessed with cats, and the

126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,240
show was inspired by his own pet, Pickles. Ricky said,

127
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,800
I've never understood cruelty to animals. I think most people

128
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:37,360
have empathy toward animals, but it has to be nurtured

129
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:39,639
and encouraged. I was born into it. My family loved

130
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:41,680
animals and grew up on a household with dogs and cats.

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Cats are the only animals to domesticate themselves. They just

132
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,560
wandered into humanity one day and said feed me that

133
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,639
happened about ten thousand years ago in Egypt, where they

134
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:52,399
were worshiped as gods. As everyone knows, they've never forgotten this.

135
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:56,240
I've been obsessed with cats my entire life. They're cool, funny, cuddly, violent,

136
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:59,439
and indifferent. Offen all on the same minute Alley Cats, Netflix,

137
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,079
August seven. Fans of the Opie and Anthony radio show

138
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,480
may find this one interesting. You may recall after Anthony

139
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,040
had some career troubles. I can't get into that, I

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,639
teach a radio college class and we do two straight

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,360
weeks on Opie and Anthony and how Anthony blew up

142
00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:16,800
his career for a while. And then you may recall

143
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:21,160
Jim Norton did a show with Opie, OPI and Jim show. Well,

144
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,920
now Jim Norton is teaming up with Anthony. Here's Jim

145
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:24,959
Norton to tell you about it.

146
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Jim Norton.

147
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,519
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm Anthony Coomia, and we're.

148
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,079
Speaker 3: Doing a show together. I guess the Anthony and Jim

149
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,040
thing on the background kind of tells them that.

150
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,839
Speaker 1: That's what it says. If you look at the monitor,

151
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:37,920
which I'm trying not to do.

152
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,839
Speaker 3: It's very difficult, isn't it. It's so difficult. But I

153
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:43,160
had to have you on the left because first of all,

154
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:45,120
it's the only time I'll ever see that, and second

155
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,000
of all, because on Ona you were alway. Opie was

156
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,800
always across. You were always on the left, And it's

157
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,319
just I'm used to talking to you like.

158
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,439
Speaker 2: That, is true? Yes, Yes, that we had our little

159
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,920
side of the desk.

160
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,079
Speaker 1: Ope was behind the board.

161
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. We were making funny yeah, making jokes and getting

162
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,360
in trouble.

163
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:06,759
Speaker 3: We would have done this a year, like, as soon

164
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:09,000
as I was done with Sirius and I was allowed to,

165
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:11,759
we would have started this. Yeah, but you know, you

166
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:13,800
lived in the South and I'm in New York, and

167
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:18,759
it just became logistically difficult. But we're gonna we're gonna

168
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,360
do an episode every other week on YouTube, and we

169
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:24,879
are going to have in the weeks in between, we're

170
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,319
gonna have Patreon episodes. Yeah, which is sometimes we love guests,

171
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:29,560
sometimes it'll be just me and you.

172
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: Okay, So according to Norton, episode one will be on

173
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,360
the YouTube channel. It's Tuesday, August fourth, and then there's

174
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,200
some Patreon stuff and I don't know, just put it

175
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,879
on a podcast feed and I'll listen to it. Dude,

176
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:43,840
don't make it hard. I want to congratulate the agents

177
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,600
of Rick Glassman. Now you're like, who exactly Rick Glasman

178
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:51,480
somehow got a fluff piece in the Hollywood Reporter. So

179
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,720
great job, agents, publicist, everybody getting this done. We are

180
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,519
told Rick Glassman has built a strong following with his

181
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,879
podcast to Take Your Shoes Off, where these upcomics he's

182
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:04,919
interviewing celebrity guests as almost the perfect first date. Have

183
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,440
you heard of this thing? Do you host a podcast

184
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,399
in your basement and google comedy and comedian every single

185
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,840
day of your life and this has never hit your radar?

186
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,120
Apparently there's three hundred and sixty eight episodes of this

187
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,440
in the most recent one has one hundred and nine

188
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,960
one thousand views. That's Late Night with Seth Byer's Territory Buddy. Anyway,

189
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,440
Glassman tells The Hollywood Reporter, somehow there's flirting involved, and

190
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:29,159
flirting doesn't have to have romantic interest. Flirting to me

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,120
is similar to reports. Hey, you nudge a little, you

192
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,720
push a little, and you let them do the same.

193
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,200
Glassman says, I love when people come on for a

194
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,200
second time on the podcast, especially if they want to

195
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,639
get high for the occasion, don't do your podcast high.

196
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:42,399
Glassman explains, I had a good time with you the

197
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,720
first time. Let's see what it's like when we're extra

198
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:48,600
silly again. Congratulations to the agents and the ensemble who

199
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:51,519
somehow got that piece for it did. Deadline tells us

200
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:56,320
San Francisco comedian and labor organizer Nato Green will have

201
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,840
an hour of comedy. It is called the Darkest Hour,

202
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:02,000
to be on Blonde Medicines YouTube channel July thirty first,

203
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,159
that's what tomorrow go to be out on album August fourteenth.

204
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,960
In the Darkest Hour, Nato Green wanted to go beyond

205
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:12,559
jokes about the news to grapple more subsistantively with this

206
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:15,200
political moment in history, Guiding the audience through a conversation

207
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,080
about fascism, Zionism, transphobia, white supremacy, and the political spectrum,

208
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,360
Green tells Deadline there is comedy of escapism, but this

209
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,720
is whatever's the opposite of that also sounds like not

210
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:29,919
for me, and that is your comedy news for today.

211
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:31,360
I will see you tomorrow.
