Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 2: We'll start a little political today. A couple things that
Speaker 2: caught my eye and made me chuckle. South park was back,
Speaker 2: and you see, the people of South Parker were having
Speaker 2: trouble finding funding for their annual turkey trot race, and
Speaker 2: they decided to turn to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Speaker 2: for help. One resident noted the Saudis were giving money
Speaker 2: to just about everybody lately. Cartman and Token got into
Speaker 2: a little bit. Token told Cartman he doesn't feel right.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want them to pay America for sports rather
Speaker 2: than hacking up reporters or paying Pete Davidson to do comedy. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the Vice President visited the troops and he got ripped
Speaker 2: for a comedy routine he did. Now I'll play some
Speaker 2: of the material from Vice President Vance, and then I
Speaker 2: have some thoughts about this.
Speaker 1: Who really likes be honest with yourself? Who really like turkey?
Speaker 1: Nobody does it because turkey doesn't actually taste that good.
Speaker 1: But on Thanksgiving, on the most American holiday, I got
Speaker 1: a fan over here, on the most American holiday, we
Speaker 1: are gonna cook a turkey, by God, because that's what
Speaker 1: Americans do. We cook this gigantic American bird, and we
Speaker 1: do all kinds of crazy things to make it taste good.
Speaker 1: And look, here's the thing. If you've got to deep
Speaker 1: dry something to make it taste good, it probably isn't
Speaker 1: that good.
Speaker 2: So that was the vice president at Fort Campbell, Kentucky,
Speaker 2: last Wednesday. Now the material, he doesn't know how to
Speaker 2: do it. But as I looked at the material, I
Speaker 2: kept imagining Jim Gaffigan doing this exact same material and
Speaker 2: getting laughs. It's all in the timing and the pacing.
Speaker 2: And I'm not a stand up comedian. I've never performed
Speaker 2: stand up comedy. I'm a dude in a basement recording
Speaker 2: a podcast. But if you can do this and in
Speaker 2: your head Gaffigan voice, and slow it down and go
Speaker 2: think about turkey, be honest with yourselves. Who really likes turkey? Right?
Speaker 2: You take a pause there, nobody does because turkey doesn't
Speaker 2: actually taste good. And then Gaffigan, we would get a
Speaker 2: laugh for that. And then this is a very gaff again.
Speaker 2: Ask tag, if you've got to deep fry something to
Speaker 2: make it taste good, it probably isn't that good? Do
Speaker 2: that in your Jim Head voice? All right, Amy Schumer.
Speaker 2: I'm struggling with this story because, as I mentioned last
Speaker 2: time this came up, I'm here to have fun. I'm
Speaker 2: here to be rascally. I'm here to make fun of
Speaker 2: things that deserve to be made fun of. Say you
Speaker 2: have a bourbon business and you've lost your mind and
Speaker 2: you're going all in on that, or you think you're
Speaker 2: gonna open a successful theme park in Nashville. That's why
Speaker 2: I'm here. So I don't come to make fun of
Speaker 2: whatever is going on with Amy Schumer, but it is
Speaker 2: increasingly in the news. The Daily Mail shared some Instagram
Speaker 2: photos of Amy Schumer, and they said Schumer looked leggy
Speaker 2: in a Cleveland boasting beige Valentino mini dress featuring a
Speaker 2: strip of ruffles and bows with black slingback pumps. But
Speaker 2: they noticed Amy Schumer was not wearing her wedding band
Speaker 2: in the post, and that her husband Chris isn't always
Speaker 2: seen with is on as well. So that has a
Speaker 2: fuel the speculation onto what's going on in their marriage.
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to tell you I was not wearing
Speaker 2: a wedding ring for quite a while At one point.
Speaker 2: You know why, because I played beach volleyball and it
Speaker 2: was really hurting my hand when the ball would hit
Speaker 2: my ring on my finger, and my hands were swelling.
Speaker 2: So I took my ring off for a little bit.
Speaker 2: My wife knows we're married. I don't leave the house.
Speaker 2: Maybe once a week I go see the trivia guys.
Speaker 2: That's it. I'm not doing anything. I'm in the basement
Speaker 2: of recording a podcast, so I want to just like
Speaker 2: not have everybody freak out because you take a ring off.
Speaker 2: Sometimes your finger is a little fat or maybe and
Speaker 2: I'm not being a jerky here Amy lost weight. Maybe
Speaker 2: the ring is too big on her finger. Now I'm
Speaker 2: not being jerky there, I'm being dead serious. The Daily
Speaker 2: Mail quotes a close friend is telling them on November thirteenth,
Speaker 2: Amy is one hundred percent getting divorced. She got skinny,
Speaker 2: She's over it. Chris is mostly out of the house
Speaker 2: at this point. They've listed two homes down Brooklyn and
Speaker 2: New Orleans. She deleted Chris from Instagram, then deleted everything else.
Speaker 2: She's gonna file soon, but it's over done, the Daily
Speaker 2: Mail ell says, shortly before wiping her Instagram account. Amy
Speaker 2: had instant story that Chris and I are still married,
Speaker 2: while also praising Hulu's new show about divorce attorneys, called
Speaker 2: All's fair. Louis c K. I know we think he's canceled.
Speaker 2: He's not canceled. He got a nice profile on The
Speaker 2: New Yorker because you know, he wrote a book, and
Speaker 2: you know some stuff happened a couple years ago, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure he played the Rio Comedy Festal don't worry
Speaker 2: about any of that, because Louis c K plays nice
Speaker 2: with the media, and we'll give you an interview. The
Speaker 2: New Yorker writes, these days, c K occupies a strange
Speaker 2: place in the culture. He's in a cancelation limbo, joined
Speaker 2: by the likes of Chris Brown and Andrew cuomo. Ck
Speaker 2: isn't too canceled to perform several sold out shows at
Speaker 2: the Beacon, but he's canceled enough that if you managed
Speaker 2: to snag a ticket, you might not want to brag
Speaker 2: about it to your co workers. He's canceled enough that
Speaker 2: if the show's one of his strongest stand up routines
Speaker 2: in year, you might write about it, but not without
Speaker 2: mentioning that he's disgraced. They quote some of c K's material,
Speaker 2: including I've lived too long to give an f about
Speaker 2: a sunny day, and shares the experience of putting his
Speaker 2: father in a nursing home, quoting ck, you know what
Speaker 2: this place does. You know what they do? You give
Speaker 2: them money and they take your father. See Kay enjoys
Speaker 2: dating women his age that it's interesting to talk to
Speaker 2: them about their lives. The line, apparently is nobody gets
Speaker 2: to fifty eighth single without a horrible leffing life, and
Speaker 2: you get to hear about it every day. It's the best.
Speaker 2: Kevin Hart's got the second best special of the year.
Speaker 2: That's on Netflix. You should watch it. It's very funny.
Speaker 2: Kevin is lightly talking about collaborating with Kat Williams and
Speaker 2: Mike Epps. They were in early talks about a possible
Speaker 2: ensemble comedy project with echoes of Harlem Nights. Kevin told
Speaker 2: the seven PM in Brooklyn podcast, we all got older,
Speaker 2: and I think our conversation has gotten better. You know me,
Speaker 2: Mike Cat there's always a little ruffle in the water
Speaker 2: for quite some time, but picking up the phone does
Speaker 2: a lot. As for the roots of their frustrations, it
Speaker 2: was about the idea of what we felt. It possibly
Speaker 2: felt that we should be doing together and that we
Speaker 2: weren't because we weren't. Assumptions were made and feelings developed,
Speaker 2: and animosity comes in. So amending whatever the problems were
Speaker 2: in our days of old allows this generation to see
Speaker 2: like we're not afraid to do that, and it alleviates
Speaker 2: the future world of conflict for them. I feel like
Speaker 2: we're much better today than we were yesterday. When I
Speaker 2: checked around noon on Monday, the Jim Gaffigan video was
Speaker 2: up to three point four million views. In case you
Speaker 2: skipped the weekend episodes, Jim posted live from Old Forester
Speaker 2: the Bourbon Set on YouTube. Jim got a big profile
Speaker 2: on The Wall Street Journal thanks to Scott Beckett for
Speaker 2: sending that over. We learned that during the pandemic, Jim
Speaker 2: collected a bourbon from every state. The Journal met up
Speaker 2: with Jim at the Great Jones Distillery in New York City.
Speaker 2: Jim says, we should probably eat. I have to go
Speaker 2: to my son's basketball game after this. I don't want
Speaker 2: to recreate the scene from Hoosier's. They were enjoying a
Speaker 2: flight of four whiskies. As for the Old Forester set,
Speaker 2: we learned that the company became a title sponsor of
Speaker 2: the special. The company covered production costs. Jim asked the
Speaker 2: team to throw in a case of whiskey into the bargain.
Speaker 2: Jim asked for a King of Kentucky, the company's oldest
Speaker 2: and rarest bourbon, which sells and stores for over two
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a bottle. Jim said, that was the moment
Speaker 2: where I had this realization, Oh, I'm being paid with
Speaker 2: a case of bourbon. Out today on the eight hundred
Speaker 2: Boundarilla YouTube channel, Matt McCusker is the speed of light.
Speaker 2: If you missed yesterday's show, we now are in the
Speaker 2: opening nominations phase of Comedy Survivor. Go to the Facebook group,
Speaker 2: which is daily Comedy news podcast group. There's a little
Speaker 2: cartoon there of a Comedy Survivor. Thurger names in there.
Speaker 2: What we're gonna do is we're gonna put sixteen comedians
Speaker 2: on a hypothetical island. Every week the Facebook group will
Speaker 2: vote one person off. Hopefully we'll get some jokes and
Speaker 2: bits along the way. The boys in the group are
Speaker 2: debating the artwork. Hey man, that's what Ai Drew? Does
Speaker 2: Joe Coy look like? Jimmy Kimmel. He kind of does.
Speaker 2: A lot of people could be nominated, So jump in
Speaker 2: the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group and get
Speaker 2: your nominations in. We'll start taking a look at that
Speaker 2: later in the week. Just for last Vancouver celebrating its
Speaker 2: tenth anniversary. I guess that's the JFL portion of Vancouver
Speaker 2: because there was a Vancouver Comedy Festival, and I don't
Speaker 2: know is ten right because I feel like I was
Speaker 2: at serious when it was JFL Vancouver and I haven't
Speaker 2: been at serious in over ten years. It's back February
Speaker 2: twelfth to the twenty second names announced so far. James A. Caster,
Speaker 2: Otsko at Kotska, Laura Romoso, Phil Rosenthal, Rene Vaka, Michelle Botteou,
Speaker 2: Namesh Patel, Brent Buttz, Connor wood, Ismo, Drew Lynch Ruffi,
Speaker 2: Bastos Cristella, al Mary Beth Baron, Ed Gamble, Lucy Darling.
Speaker 2: I'm tempted to go, and I'm tempted to hook up
Speaker 2: with Mike from the Letterman podcast. He lives out that way,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yuh, we get supportable recorders, we could
Speaker 2: probably do some podcasting damage there. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'll see how My schedule is I do teach at colleges.
Speaker 2: I have to see you know, it can't always run
Speaker 2: out of town. But comedy festivals tend to be on
Speaker 2: the weekend. But also, Vancouver's a bit of a hike
Speaker 2: from here, so I'll take a look at it. I
Speaker 2: kind of want to go. I like Vancouver a lot.
Speaker 2: Billy Gardell spoke with Parade Magazine. Billy said, during my
Speaker 2: second show, Bob Hart's Abashchola, I thought maybe I'm done
Speaker 2: with stand up. Then he got a weird twitch and
Speaker 2: he said his wife knew immediately you're going back to
Speaker 2: stand up. Billy says he's not here to bash the youngins.
Speaker 2: They're dealing with stuff we never dealt with. Look, I'm
Speaker 2: from gen X. We were feral cats and we were
Speaker 2: over compensated and raised a generation of housecats. Now we
Speaker 2: can't be upset that they're not great dealing with stuff.
Speaker 2: No politics, and he says, when you give an opinion,
Speaker 2: you're just lecturing somebody, But when you share experience, now
Speaker 2: you're including somebody. If Jay Leno said that you guys
Speaker 2: would do bad, Hey, Leanne Morgan, are you superstitious at all?
Speaker 2: Before you get on stage. Do you have any rituals,
Speaker 2: she telled the Hollywood Reporter, I kind of am. It
Speaker 2: sounds crazy, but if I don't have on a heel,
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm gonna put on as good
Speaker 2: as a show I've tried, because they hurt. You're standing
Speaker 2: up there for an hour and a half. My psciatica
Speaker 2: starts barking at me. Some my styles will get me
Speaker 2: a cute tennis shoe, but I feel like I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna have a good show. She's trying to put me
Speaker 2: in suits, which would probably be more modern and hip
Speaker 2: and cute. But I don't feel right. I don't feel
Speaker 2: like myself, which is looney. And I say a prayer
Speaker 2: before every show and I take deep breaths in What
Speaker 2: are you nervous about, Leanne Morgan? It's not the material.
Speaker 2: The nerves do go away. I think what I get
Speaker 2: nervous about now is when I jump to arenas. Arenas
Speaker 2: are a whole different thing, and every arena is different.
Speaker 2: Some of them feel like you're in a cavern. People
Speaker 2: can't even see you. I hope I got to do
Speaker 2: more of those things, but I'm not used to it.
Speaker 2: If somebody like Oprah's coming, It's on my team. Don't
Speaker 2: tell me if I know Oprah's coming or someone like that.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there thinking, because Oprah think I'm dumb? Am
Speaker 2: I using the correct grammar? And the Scolar Brothers caught
Speaker 2: up with stlp R. They were talking about their podcast,
Speaker 2: Dumb People Town. We take three stories, usually from the
Speaker 2: state of Florida. Some guy rabs a house with his cat.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna break on an entire story. If some woman
Speaker 2: decides to drive around town with her kids and a
Speaker 2: baby pool on top of her car. She's trying to
Speaker 2: be mother of the year. It's an exploration of dumb behavior,
Speaker 2: and we're trying to fight back against the wave of
Speaker 2: dumb in this world. With comedy and Vulture did their
Speaker 2: list of comedians you should and will know. One of
Speaker 2: them is CP. All right, CP, what's the best and
Speaker 2: worst comedy advice you ever received? Best? Just enjoy the
Speaker 2: moments where you're getting to be what you always wanted
Speaker 2: to be. I think when you let money, status, fame
Speaker 2: and all those different things play a part, and how
Speaker 2: much you validate your progress loses a bit of the magic.
Speaker 2: Worst advice hold on a material the more you hold
Speaker 2: on a material, the more you stifle your creativity. Your
Speaker 2: brain needs to be flowing like a freeway. I'm always
Speaker 2: working on new material because my job is to be
Speaker 2: a comedian. My job is not to say one set
Speaker 2: for the rest of my life. I want to have
Speaker 2: as much fun as I can and I want to
Speaker 2: enjoy my days on this earth, living in my purpose
Speaker 2: of bringing laughter to the world and leaving my mark.
Speaker 2: Those are good words there, and that is your comedy
Speaker 2: news for today. Right hit the Facebook group, nominate some people,
Speaker 2: and I'll see it tomorrow.
