Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
All right, Kevin Hart, what's the deal with you and
Kat Williams? Kevin Hart was on the Breakfast Club and
dropped a lot of fbombs. So Johnny Mack has made
some edits for language.
Speaker 1: No, man, Cat have been we've we've reconciled.
Speaker 2: How long prior?
Speaker 1: No, probably like maybe eight months ago? What bought? Maybe?
How did that happen? Because everybody knows the infamous club
station if you plus you've been taking a shot at
you for years?
Speaker 2: Right? What happened?
Speaker 1: Kat and I had a conversation, conversation, a private conversation
between me and Kat. But the baseline was like, we're older.
This is years and years and years of there's no
reason why we shouldn't like figure out a world of
compromise where we can get along and we can give
the fan base something different with us, something that's unexpected,
and figure out a way to work together, right, figure
out a way to frame the comedy minds that we
both have and put them at the table. Cat thought
it was time to do it, as did I. Shook hands.
Great conversation, great dialogue, The first thing that came up,
of course, was the rose. When the opportunity for the
ross came up, reached out the cat. It'd be dope
if you did it, Kat said. We just got in
a good space. keV. If I do it, I'm gonna
do it. I said, have ad it. Cat had ad it.
And our conversations are private. Like. That's another thing too, man.
I'm not big runningto the microphone and telling personal business
the an adult, Go call the person, go call whatever, whomever.
Have a conversation. After that conversation has had, that's your
all business. I think Kat's business is ours. We are
in a good spot, thankfully, finally, and it's a good
feeling when you can say like you've put the problems
of old behind you right once again. Forty six I
mean fifty soon. That's half your life, man.
Speaker 2: Josh Johnson talked with the Extra instead of his recent special.
I think for this one, my overall concept and the
way that all came together feels very different. It's something
that's never happened before. For the level of support that
I have in the amount of time twenty six seconds
that we have to come up with something really unique.
I mean, I can't say enough, like the straight up
support has been very special, very thankful. What does it
take to do, especially, says I mean, at first you
have to have an hour's worth of things to say
that would help. And then in this case, I worked
on the concept with the director for the special for
a while and wanted to make sure I was doing
something that really felt like sidestepping a standard format and everything,
and so we didn't get to rehearse it. Like it's
kind of a miracle that it all came together. I
feel very strongly that the future of the form is
breaking free from a standard model, and I think we
did that with this, and I look forward to doing
it in the future. How does it come up jokes?
I just don't do anything else. I think it's mostly
just the things I find interesting were the things I
think that other people might skip through the day, Like
I'm fascinated by things that are mundane and pretty boring,
which has been good for the most part. It's been
good for that fodder because it's all something we share
and there's sort of a universal aspect there and you
can pull from it endlessly because we all engage with
some of the stuff differently. For example, I don't know
when's the last time you took the bus, but the
bus now versus the bus before the war's very different.
Like initially when you were taking the bus before the
war and Iran, you were just taking the bus, and
now you're taking the bus with people who know they
have a car but can't afford gas right now, so
it's a much angrier bus. Josh Johnson Symphony is on HBO.
Max Marlon Wayne's explain how he's able to remain friends
with Dave Chappelle while also supporting Marlin's trans Son Kai
Way instead of Chappelle. Dave's intention isn't to punch down
Wayne's sold variety. I wouldn't hang with Dave if he
was full of eight I don't hang with people like that.
I know Dave's heart, and his intention is not to
punch down. Dave wants to freely tell his jokes, and
if you're gonna be anti comedy, then he's going to
keep attacking you, so you learn to have a sense
of humor. He's just standing there and defending his front
line as a comedian. As a comedian, I respect his journey,
and as a friend, I respect his journey and for
my child. I respect their journey, and as the father
of my child, I could appropriate my feelings toward my
friend and my feelings toward my child, and how we
could put those two things together and I can explain
both sides on between them, so I can explain both
sides to each other. All my kids are gifts and
our love is the wrapping paper. I'm not here for hate.
Transphobia is a form of hate. Homophobia is a form
of hate. Racism is a form of hate. Although small hearted,
simple minded people, there's a hell for you. And if
you think you're going to bully my child, go somewhere else.
It's not gonna happen. I won't stand for it. Star
Trek ruiner Patton Oswalts shared with Variety what Patton Oswalt
watches with his daughter. He did not mention Star Trek,
which he helped to ruin. Some of the things they
watch includes stand up comedy. Star Trek grown her. Patent
Oswalt said there's certain comedians like Mitch Hedberg and Ria Bamford.
I'll show her bits of online this summer. I'm going
to watch the original Richard Pryor live in concert with
her just to show how a true master the form
a person staying with just a microphone can create words
in your head. Patton said, I'm gonna take her to
see weird Al this year. His daughter was friends with
weird Al's daughter, who has now graduated college, but they
first got together when they were little. That's nice. Amy
Schumer likes when we talk about her. She of course,
shared some photos of her boating vacation on Instagram. The
photos were captioned travel. Amy shared twenty pictures showing Amy
Schumer jet skiing, paddleboarding, and soaking up the sun on
a yacht. Amy Schumer wore a red sweatsuit and black
life vest and is sharing her weight loss journey of
over fifty pounds. Upworthy caught up with Pete Holmes. Some
people thought Pete Holmes is a little edgier than he
used to be. Up Worthy was like, so you feel
like it's not you're making a choice to be edgier,
You're just doing you. Pete said, oh, yeah, that's how
material shows up too. I always liking to it if you
ever got an Amazon package on your doorstep and you
don't even remember what it is. That happens every day
in my house. That's how the material shows up. I'm
not trying to be a flashy artist like, oh, I'm
just the vessel. I'm just saying I'm living my life
and certain things come up right down. I perform them,
people like them, and then you have about an hour
and ten minutes of that and you have a show.
As for clean comedy, the line has moved. Pete Holmes said,
I think it's very possible that someone does what's considered
clean comedy, meaning they're not talking about their penis or
sex or about drugs, and they're not swearing, they're not
saying the seven words, right, and that comedy can be toxic,
it can be ugly, it can be encouraging really backwards
thinking and harmful ideologies. Right by the way, I'll defend
someone's right to be able to do that. I'm just
saying what I see sometimes, and I think it's quite
possible to talk about drugs and your penis and the
existence of sex and say all the seven words and
do a joke that's really beautiful. In fact, I think
that's part of the message. I'm not ashamed. I don't
choose my thoughts, I don't choose my feelings. I'm here
to report on them and laugh at them and thereby
take away some of their power. Now, did I say
F Yes, But if that's your line in the sand,
whether or not, a comic says, f that's fine. That
was me for the first twenty eight years of my life.
It's not my line anymore. And I'm happy to say
there are lots and lots of people that are nuanced,
that are lovely, compassionate, generous, interesting, interested people that aren't
turned off by the full human experience. By the way,
I love clean comedy too. It's just like, I don't
think clean necessary. That early means it's going to be
mean or ugly or somehow harmful. I don't think ugly
means you swear. Radar Online says Bill Cosby is so
desperate for money. How desperate is he? Bill Cosby's so
desperate for money that to pay off a massive civil
judgment granted to one of his victims, he has slashed
the price on his New York City townhouse by more
than seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to track buyers
as quickly as possible. A source tells Radar he's desperate
to raise money and clearly willing to do just about
anything necessary to do. So, you should volunteer for a roast.
Can you imagine, boy? That would be amazing? Sourza said,
is once estimated four hundred million dollar fortune had shrunk
to an estimated one hundred and twenty eight million dollars.
In March, at California court ordered Bill Cosby to pay
fifty nine million dollars to a former waitress who a
LA jury determined he'd attacked in nineteen seventy two. The
townhouse originally went on the market for a price tag
of six point nine to nine million dollars. It's now
at five point nine nine million dollars. Someday Bill Cosby
will pass away and I will tell a story on
this very program. The Toronto Guardian does a wonderful series
called Tragedy plus Time when they talk to local comedians,
one of them Shanil Patel. We are told Shanil Blend's
sign Feldian observations with Larry David level of frustration, balancing clean,
clever premises with the occasional unhinged detour. Mittel says, I
mostly joke about my marriage and securities, frustrations and brownness.
People tell me my delivery is smug and lethargic, but
apparently not in a bad way. Favorite comedian growing up,
Rowan Atkinson is mister Bean. You don't see that answer
a lot. Favorite comedian right now Nate Berganzi Josh Johnson
impresses me the most pre show ritual pacing while trying
to remember my joke. Order. Favorite bit you've written, Bettel says,
I've been working out a bit about learning French that
I'm proud of because it's clean. My other favorite new
bit is one called Grandpa's penis Mold, which is less clean.
