Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. No matter how many years they do
the show, I will never learn the lesson of don't
eat a handful of M and m's before jumping on
the mic. The Peanuts close up your throat a little bit. Hello,
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Boy, what
an exciting week? Are you ready for Friday? I don't
have to tell you what Friday is. That's right, Nate
Berghatsi's The Breadwinner is out. Now. You might be saying, John,
did Kevin James turn down this movie? And I think
that's a reasonable question if you've seen the trailer in
case you're not familiar. In The Breadwinner, Nate Berghatzi stars
as salesman Nate Wilcox. Mandy Moore plays Katie, who's the
ultimate mom. But you see when Katie's household invention leads
to a once in a lifetime deal on Shark Tank
and takes Katie on a prolonged business trip, wacky dad
Nate has to figure out how to keep the house
from falling apart because you know what's dead, So, yeah,
we don't know how to make dinner or do laundery
or anything. Kids soon learn that while he may not
do it like Mom, he can figure out how to
do it his way. Now, Nate's got friends in high places,
including the Hollywood Reporter, who we're getting the message out
that Nate wants to make The Breadwinner affordable for everyone
to watch in the theater. That's right. You're not just
gonna sit home and watch this on Netflix. You're not
just gonna wait, I don't know six weeks till it's
out on digital. You're gonna leave your house and go
to the theater to go see The Breadwinner this Friday. Now,
while studios can't dictate pricing, the Hollard Reporter tells US
cinema operators have indicate they will treat The Breadwinner the
same way they supported discounted pricing for showings of eighty
for Brady. And we all know how well that did.
How well did that do? Look it up? John Okay,
will boxofficemojo dot com reports eighty for Brady Domestic made
a thirty nine point four million, did another one million internationally. Anyway,
AMC Theaters has announced the Nates rates. They did this
on Instagram. Cinema theaters, meanwhile, may discount prices buy as
much as twenty five percent. Pricing and availability will vary.
You know what, I'm gonna go on like fendango right
now and see if I can book a ticket for
this thing. Hold on now. To be fair, I am
doing this on May fourteenth. I don't know if you
knew it was a holiday weekend. Sometimes I record in advance. Okay, Friday,
May twenty ninth, I'm going to go seat at my
local AM theater. There are shows at four and six
forty five pm. Nothing later. All right, let's do the
standard reserve seating close caption recliner seats six forty five.
Let's say click, and it appears, if I'm looking at
this map correctly, it appears they have sold two tickets
in advance to the six forty five showing Friday for
the Breadwinner. Now again, I recorded this like fifteen days ago,
so it's quite possible that it's sold out by now.
I'm gonna click on F six and F five. Oh no, no, no,
no no. I was looking at a gap, but I'm
going across. I can buy one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight. It appears zero tickets have been sold. If
you can buy seats F five and f six for
eleven ninety three. We are told the prices and feeds
include estimated at tax per ticket. But I'm not actually
going to go see The Breadwinner. Nate Pergatsi posted on Instagram.
It said, hello, everybody, My movie The Breadwinner is coming
out on May twenty ninth, and I've got something very
exciting that i wanted to let you know. So the
Nate rate is a special kind of lower ticket price
because we want everyone to come out to this movie.
And John has discovered some theaters have sold zero tickets.
This movie is for your grandparents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, friends, sister, anybody,
your dog, cats I think would love this movie specifically,
anybody that wants to come out. Nate did a screening
for The Breadwinner in Nashville. Nate said, I used to
come to this theater a lot. There's an Applebee's right
next to here where I met my wife. We're living
in Nashville in this movie. This celebrates Nashville. I grew
up here. I think we get a joy when more
people move here in a way that keeps the fabric
of what made Nashville a city very exciting. The Breadwinner
stroop credits in Aperghatsey with influencing his embrace of family
friendly humor. Now interesting. I came home from volleyball the
other night. My wife was on her phone. She goes,
do you know comedian Derek Stroop? And it wasn't like
do you know him? It was like do you know
who that is? And I'm like, yeah, I thought it
was interesting that Derek Stroop said nabrigazzy. He took me
under his wing just a couple of years ago. This
guy's out here selling out four shows in one weekend
at an arena. It's twenty thousand and eighty thousand tickets
in a weekend. But because he's completely clean, and he's
not edgy, and he's not up there starting a revolution
with a microphone in his hand, he doesn't get the
outside love. Clean comedy is the way to go by far.
I preach it to everybody that'll listen. These young comics,
I try to save them. I will tell a story
I've told it before. When I first met Jeff Foxworthy.
He sat in a room with me. He explained his philosophy.
He held his arms out I don't know, like say
shoulder length, and he said, I used to do comedy
and curse, you know, like everybody else does. And then
I realized, if I work clean, I pick up the
older people. And he stretched out one arm and the
younger people, and he stretched out his other arm and
implied how much bigger his audience got. Derek Stroop said,
nobody's ever come up to me after a show and went,
those jokes were really good, man, but if you would
occur a little bit, you could have sent us over
the top. Everybody goes thanks for being clean. It was
a really fun show. That feels good to have a
product that travels, and everybody's excited to see now. You know,
if you listen to this show, you know I try
and keep it clean. Sometimes with the clips, I have
to let a naughty word or two through, and I
kind of don't like to do that, but sometimes this
is just to keep the integrity of what was said.
But myself, I try not to curse on the show,
and you'll hear me use words like stuff. I also
teach my college students who are younger producers, putting yourself
in that box is a better creative way to go.
I always quote mister the Rock, Queen the Rock at Johnson,
I will use a pseudo swear word here. The Rock
doesn't call somebody an asshole. The Rock calls somebody a Drabbroni. Hey,
that guy's a jabbroni, And Jabbroni is just a much
funnier word than just saying that other awful word that
I just said. So I think that's always a good
thing to do. Jerry Seinfeld said, I don't enjoy that
many things, you know. I like watching baseball games, and
I like driving cars, and I like comedy, and that's
about it. He was speaking to Airman about his car
addiction and why Jerry will never get an electric car. Jerry,
how many cars do you have? I don't know. I
always say it's an amount that if you looked at
you would not say this makes sense. Air Mil asked Jerry.
I don't know about you, but as I get older,
I wonder who needs so many cars? Jerry said, Well,
we could spend the whole segment discussing that word need,
which is really difficult to define. It's an interesting word
in terms of a car collection. Only really crazy car guys.
We'll talk about do I need one of these? And
the other guy knows what they're talking about. It's interesting
to me that there are quite a few cars that
I'm totally emotionally attached to, and there's quite a few
that I'm not. I still like them and I like
having them. But some of them you bond too, some
of them you don't. Jerry says his car collection began
around nineteen ninety one, when my TV series was picked
up for its first very small order. Was that nineteen
ninety one. I'm not gonna say that feels like five
minutes ago to me, but uh yeah, that's college Boy
time flies, Jerry said. I think four episodes. Jerry, you
know was four episodes? Don't say you think you know
how many episodes? Come on, dude. That was when I
first acquired some money I did not need. I bought
annineteen fifty eight Porscha three fifty six speeds are out
of Wichita. I didn't really know anything about older Porsches,
but I just thought, well, this car is a nice line.
So I also thought, I'm sure you could never drive
a car like this on the street. It must be ridiculous,
And I ended up using it as my daily driver
in LA for years on end. Really sorry, I sold it.
I believe there's no car you've ever owned that you
don't regret selling that. If you could have every car back,
assuming it was financially possible, you would do it. You'd
want every single one. This is a good interview because it's,
you know, different stuff. You don't hear Jerry talk about
this stuff. He said, I remember the very first time
I became aware of the Yoshido Matsuda collection in Japan,
two hundred cars. I saw this and went, this is
one insane human being. I got the book of his collection,
and then I became that guy. I never really had
any problems with addiction except this. Selling cars can be
very exciting too. It's pretty clear that cars coming and
going seems to stimulate some receptor in the brain. For
people that are genetically inclined, it's powerful stuff. As for
electric cars, Jerry said, I'm not interested in electric cars
at all. Anybody else wants to do it, that's fine.
I think it's a big stupid virtue signal. Look at me,
I'm saving a planet. Yeah, what about the lithium, it's
all bs. What about automated self driving cars? Dray said,
I always tell my kids that their kids will say
to them, you mean, when you grew up, they would
let people just drive at any speed and steer the
car themselves. Didn't they just crash and kill themselves constantly.
This is fun. Ken Jung is getting involved with Shark Week.
It's K Pop Shark Heroes. You see. You take Shark
Week and you drop K Pop Demon Hunters on top,
and you get K Pop Shark Heroes. The special stars
Ken Jung and the woman who is the singing voice
of character Zoe Casehanot, a big K Pop Demon Hunters
fan like me, I'm not at all I just learned
as I'm telling you the sentence, Ken Jung voices Bobby,
the agent manager of the K Pop Demon Hunters, who
knew the official description for K Pop Shark Heroes is
after a recent series of shark encounters off the Korean Peninsula.
Actor and comedian Ken Jung, We're just dropping the doctor part.
The guy went to medical school. I'm gonna revise your copy.
Actor and comedian doctor Ken Jung is determined to reshape
the perception of sharks across East Asia and around the
globe by Zoe. Ken is on a mission to launch
a bold, one of a kind public awareness campaign that educates, empowers,
and shifts the narrative around these oceanic creatures using the
power of K pop. I Love It Oh. Like most
press releases, there's credits here. Jung is best known for
playing Leslie Chow in all three The Hangover movies, as
well as Ben Cheng in Community Hows six Seasons in
a movie Coming Along Everybody by the Way. His other
prominent credits include Knocked Up, Crazy, Rich Asians and The
Mass Singer, on which he's served as a judge since
season one. In twenty nineteen, to entertain myself, the Golden
Globes have updated the eligibility if you want to win
a Golden Globe for stand up comedy performance on television.
Here are the rules. Are you ready? Rule number one,
Performers are eligible for performances of traditional stand up comedy
of at least thirty consecutive minutes aired other than roles
in television series, limited series, anthology series, or motion pictures
made for television. I'll roughly translate that your special has
to include thirty minutes of stand up okay. Rule number two.
Television includes works released by broadcast, basic and premium cable
streaming and pay preview cable. To be eligible for a
Golden Globes' award, television programs must be released on a
recognized media platform. Individual social media accounts do not qualify,
all right, So translating there, it's got to be on
like real TV. You can't just put it on like
Johnnymack dot com and submit it. Okay, that's fair enough.
Number three. Only programs first aired or made available for
viewing on demand in the United States during the qualifying
year are eligible. Interesting first aired, so like I don't know,
say you were Ricky Gervais and the BBC gave me
a lot of money. It has to air in the
US first to be eligible for a Golden Globe. That's weird.
I don't really care. I just find it weird. And
that is your comedy news for today. I will see
you tomorrow.
