WEBVTT

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media and there I'm Johnny Mack with you know,

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Today's Dalley Comedy News. I'm honest with you guys, it

3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>is a slow news day. It was like nobody announced anything. Uh.

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Jim Gaffigan in the headlines on a slow news day.

5
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>He was recently on We Might Be Drunk with Samuerel

6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>and Mark Norman and Jim started talking about different audiences

7
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>around the world, joking that Europeans are often a bit condescending,

8
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>but Canadians were always there and had the US's back,

9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>but things have changed recently, according to gaff Again, the

10
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Canadians were always like, we know, it's not you, it's

11
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>your government. Now the Canadians are like, we hate you.

12
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>They're furious. Jim told a story he went out to

13
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>get some bourbon out of Vancouver whiskey bar. Jim explains,

14
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I like bourbon, and so I'm like, all right, I'm

15
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>going to get a bourbon. They tell him, no bourbon.

16
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I go, this is a world whiskey bar and they're like, nope,

17
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>we're not selling any American whiskey. And I go, so

18
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 1>did you get rid of it? And they're like, oh,

19
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 1>it's back there. We're just not selling it. Gaff again

20
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 1>added when he returned to his hotel, which was owned

21
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 1>by an American company, he was able to drink some

22
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>bourbon there. While we're being political, Tim Dillon was on CNN.

23
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>He had some advice for the Democrats, saying, you can't

24
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>go to war with straight white men for four years

25
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 1>and then ask why they didn't vote for you. That

26
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>seems crazy. I've made fun of Megan Markle a lot.

27
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I can't then go, why don't you think Megan Markle's

28
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 1>watching my special? I think you just have to pick

29
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 1>your fights in a better way. Dylan talked about having

30
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>JD Vance on his podcast. Dylan joked it was actually

31
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the goal and why I started comedy. JD. Vans I

32
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>knew about him when I started out in twenty ten,

33
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and I had it all plotted out like a beautiful

34
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 1>mind on the wall. Then he got more serious and

35
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>said it was kind of fortuitous. We just have this

36
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>podcast that's big and people listen to it. Trump understands

37
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the two cultural forces that I've seen in my lifetime

38
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>have changed the way people behaved reality television and social media.

39
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>He understands social media and using it to communicate. Now

40
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>that we have phones, we're all starring in our own

41
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 1>reality TV shows. He understands that, and he was able

42
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to utilize that understanding to connect with people in a

43
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>way that Kamala didn't seem to understand. It felt like

44
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>he just had the upper hand. W come Bell likes

45
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>not having a boss and says, basically, nobody can fire me,

46
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 1>so I feel free to say what I want to now.

47
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Having said that, maybe I won't get hired by anybody again.

48
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 1>But there's two things that are important. One making sure

49
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 1>my family eats every day and has a place to sleep,

50
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and two make you sure I'm clear about which side

51
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>of history I'm on. Send your letters to w cam

52
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Al Bell, Tim Dillon, and Jim Gaffigan. Digital Spy caught

53
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>up with Jimmy Carr. Jimmy said pornography is to sex

54
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>with clips of comedy, or to seeing a show. You

55
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>can watch something on TikTok and go no, that's not

56
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>very good, but he watched it with the sound down,

57
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>reading subtitles while going to the bathroom, paraphrasing, you didn't

58
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>get the full effect Jimmy's comedy inspirations. I always like

59
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 1>wordplaying clever stuff. Culture lags behind technology. VHS was a

60
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 1>huge thing for me. In the early eighties. Would start

61
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to see tapes of Robin Williams, who'd be thin on

62
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>more comitty. Suddenly he could see him live talking about

63
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>his cocaine addiction, and as a kid, you'd go, who

64
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the f is this guy? Who does Jimmy Carr think

65
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>is the goat of comedy? Think about it for a second.

66
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Interesting pick here, Jimmy Carr says, Chris Rock for me

67
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 1>is the goat because if you look bigger and blacker,

68
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it all stands up. Those routines don't just stand up.

69
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>They're still edgy. Now it's extraordinary. Most comedy rots. It

70
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>goes back to the pot and that's great, But every

71
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 1>now and then someone just comes along and nails it. Jimmy,

72
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>what made you want to be a comic? I think

73
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who suffer little from depressions self

74
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>medicate with comedy. I was using it and decided to

75
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>become a dealer. I like that, that's funny. I often

76
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>think of myself like a drug dealer. You're dealing in

77
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>serotonin and dopamine. You experience it most when you're in

78
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>a group of other people. You're laughing together, you laugh

79
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I think thirty times more. Jimmy talked about growing up.

80
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I look back at school and everyone was hilarious. I

81
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't stand out as being the funny kid. I could

82
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 1>definitely hold my own, but everyone was fun Why else

83
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>would you be friends with someone if they weren't a

84
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 1>laugh That was the currency, certainly in my home. There's

85
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of mysticism around comedy, like he's just funny,

86
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>he just gets up there and does it. No. When

87
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I watch Chris Rock do a special, I see one

88
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred jokes that work brilliantly. But what I don't see

89
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>is the two thousand jokes that didn't work that got

90
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 1>him to those that did. He had to put the

91
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>work in. You don't have this in music. The Beatles

92
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>aren't any less magicable because you can write down the

93
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 1>tunes and analyze the notes. I think we should teach

94
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 1>comedy like we teach music. A digital spy at a

95
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>good follow up here, you do get musical prodigies. You

96
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>could teach people to write songs, but you can't teach

97
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>them to be Paul McCartney. Jimmy Carr said that's true,

98
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>but he makes my point. He wasn't a covers band

99
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>with his friends the Quarrymen. They were fine. Then he

100
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>did ten thousand hours work in Hamburg and suddenly his

101
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>facility with melody was revealed. And what joke do you

102
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>wish you had written? Jimmy Carr said. Anthony Jesselnik has

103
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 1>a routine about modern day slavery that I don't think

104
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>you should print, but it's a remarkable piece of work.

105
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd really encourage people to check him out. Shane Gillis

106
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 1>is everyone's discovery of the last twelve months. An extraordinary

107
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 1>talented sketch and stand up Beth Stelling. I absolutely love

108
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and check out Neil Brennan special. Neil makes me want

109
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 1>to be a better comic. Wow. High praise from Jimmy Carr,

110
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>who's one of the top comedians out there today. Colin

111
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Jost was at Brown University. They had a panel and

112
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 1>asked Jost about comedy, and Colin said, I hope it's

113
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 1>something you can improve that you get better at. I

114
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 1>hope I get funnier. I don't know. Maybe we can

115
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>all agree to meet here in ten years and I

116
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>can report back on whether I feel like I'm funnier

117
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 1>than I am now. Steve Martin and Martin Short had

118
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>some of the best comedy careers in history. There's some

119
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 1>of the funniest people I've ever met, and they're still

120
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 1>worried about Am I still funny? Am I still making

121
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>good work? If you're a certain kind of person, whatever

122
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 1>field you work in, that feeling never leaves you all right.

123
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Some quick notes. The New York Times did a It's

124
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 1>not a profile of Theovon. They did an article about

125
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Theovon explaining to people who don't know who Theovan is,

126
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 1>who Theovon is. I don't think THEO participated in it,

127
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's a lengthy piece, so THEO will be on

128
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 1>people's rad art. Jimmy Kimmel will get a fourth season

129
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 1>of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. It is the

130
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>second time kim ol will host the show in front

131
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>of a live studio audience. The first two seasons of

132
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the reboot were during COVID protocols. If you missed it.

133
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Santino has a new golf podcast. It's called No

134
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Bad Lies. That's a good title. It includes encurse conversations

135
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>and in studio interviews with professional golfers. Athletes, entertainers, and influencers.

136
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Santino said, I'm beyond excited to dive into all aspects

137
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 1>of the game with no bad lies, from Live to

138
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the PGA and everything in between. There's so much happening

139
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>golf right now. I can't wait to explore the sport

140
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>from every with the people who love this game as

141
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 1>much as I do. Damon Walliams is one of the

142
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 1>latest people to accuse Robin Williams of being a joke thief.

143
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's reasonably well known. Damon had been on

144
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Shannon Sharp's podcast before the recent Shannon Sharp controversy. Can

145
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 1>google that one on your own. I don't want to

146
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 1>go there, and said Robin Williams was a notorious thief.

147
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 1>I ain't lying. His manager used to walk around with

148
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 1>a check book and Robin would come off stage and

149
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.319
<v Speaker 1>a comedian be like, hey, he just took me, and

150
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>he'd write him a check for seventy five dollars because

151
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 1>he knew Robin was all stream of consciousness and he'd

152
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>steal material. It was known. Comedians would go, I'm not

153
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>going on because Robin's here. It happens. But I was

154
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>look at comedy like this If this is not the

155
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 1>last joke I'm ever going to tell, then I'm not

156
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>going to treat it like that. Just a joke means

157
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I got to think of something else. For people to

158
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 1>be up in arms about a joke, Really, what is

159
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the joke? Last year, Joe Rogan commented on Robin Williams

160
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and said, I think Robin wanted to kill more than

161
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to be ethical at any cost. Part of

162
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 1>that manic sort of style is this constant need have

163
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 1>a bit about anything that you're talking about. Ever, killing

164
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 1>was more important. Feeling that hole inside of him was

165
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 1>more important than anything. If you ask any of those

166
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 1>comics were back then, there were always instances of Robin

167
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>going on a talk show and doing your bit, speaking

168
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.199
<v Speaker 1>of joke thieves, stay with me. Sarah Silverman spoke to

169
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>The Guardian and she tells the story. My parents were dying.

170
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 1>I was living in their apartment and taking care of them.

171
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>So when I went back to stand up, the first

172
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 1>material I tried out was stolen from my eulogy at

173
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>my dad's funeral. I thought there's funny stuff in here.

174
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.079
<v Speaker 1>In her new material, she is working through the death

175
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>of her parents and explains There was one night when

176
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I hit notes for myself all over the stage. I'm

177
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a stoner, I don't know have to remember what happens next,

178
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and I was in a pretty heavy part of the

179
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>show looking down on my notes. It was taking a

180
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 1>few seconds, so I said sorry to the audience, and

181
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>they all started a plodding because they thought I was

182
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>overcome with emotion and apologizing for it. I probably should

183
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>have just gone with it, but I was like, oh no,

184
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not crying. That's your slow news day comedy news

185
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 1>for today, see you tomorrow.
