Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Wow, what a game. We
Speaker 1: gotta talk about that. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News. Boy. I think I need to collect
Speaker 1: my thoughts about the game. We'll talk about that on
Speaker 1: tomorrow's podcast. John did you pretape this? Did you not
Speaker 1: wait until after the game to record this episode of
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy's Okay Busted? Kanye West has been in the news.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw why well. He added Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: to the list of target's. Complex reports that on Saturday,
Speaker 1: Kanye launched it to another tirade. I'll read it verbatim here.
Speaker 1: Let me be clearer, Daily Comedy News and Johnny Mack
Speaker 1: do not support the words I'm about to say. I'm
Speaker 1: reporting on a news story. Kanye West tweeted, why do
Speaker 1: I target Dave Chappelle because y'all think he's speaking for
Speaker 1: black people when he's really a voice for Jewish agendas.
Speaker 1: Some offensive language coming up here that I'm going to
Speaker 1: paraphrase and eliminate a few defensive terms, but paraphrasing mister West,
Speaker 1: he said, And now put this fella up on a
Speaker 1: stage and let him do his stuff while I name
Speaker 1: comedians that are way funnier you that don't have as
Speaker 1: big a name. How you gonna call yourself the funniest
Speaker 1: man on earth right in front of Chris Rock, whose
Speaker 1: name is actually bigger than yours, mister West and then
Speaker 1: shared several posts of comedians that he thought were genius
Speaker 1: and funnier than Chappelle. West list include Gerard Carmichael, Corey Holcombe,
Speaker 1: Mitch Hebberg, Louis c k, Anthony Justinic, and d Ray Davis.
Speaker 1: He also claimed he still love it Dave Chappelle, before
Speaker 1: giving a few more unclear details about why he's dragging Dave.
Speaker 1: Next tweet, Gerard Carmichael is funnier than Dave Chappelle. I
Speaker 1: miss you, family, and I'm sorry if I ever said
Speaker 1: any gay jokes in front of you, not knowing you
Speaker 1: was gay. You were one of the most brilliant people.
Speaker 1: And yes, I said miss you, knowing people will try
Speaker 1: to flip that for Corey. He just wrote, Corey Holcomb
Speaker 1: is funnier than Dave Chappelle. Next tweet, the goat Louis
Speaker 1: c K is funnier than Dave Sapelle. Did you all know?
Speaker 1: He wrote? Poody tang brilliant, Anthony Jessinic. I actually think
Speaker 1: some of my bars of this past two days have
Speaker 1: almost been just a nick level. Mitch Hedberg was the
Speaker 1: most brilliant. All Right, I'm gonna continue here. I'm struggling
Speaker 1: here because I'm trying not to just do unsavory speech.
Speaker 1: Let me paraphrase here, Yea continued and I still found
Speaker 1: a good picture because I love you, n word. But
Speaker 1: this stuff is not about emotion, quoting West, this is
Speaker 1: a war. We have to get your jokes approved by
Speaker 1: Jewish people, but you don't run your jokes past the king.
Speaker 1: You banished, you lanky ass, dry Travis Scott lipped mf
Speaker 1: or every joke you tell. I'm on yo, ass. You
Speaker 1: used to be my heroday if you were one of
Speaker 1: my inspirations to go to war with Adidas, and after
Speaker 1: you thought I lost that battle, you showed your true colors.
Speaker 1: You're envy the hate in your blood because you want
Speaker 1: to be a rock star, but you just can't get
Speaker 1: the same uh loving from women. I'll paraphrase that as
Speaker 1: me and John Mayer and d Ray You ugly. You've
Speaker 1: been ugly. You was ugly again. I am quoting mister West. Here.
Speaker 1: You was ugly when the Jews took you in. You
Speaker 1: ugly now, and you're gonna die ugly. Dave Schappelle has
Speaker 1: not yet responded to these comments. Yikes, dude, Verdas, it's
Speaker 1: hard not to follow American politics. America wants nobody to
Speaker 1: be unaware of their politics because there's this grand assumption
Speaker 1: that it's the most important job in the world. It's
Speaker 1: the rhetoric I love. I think America has finally come
Speaker 1: around to the fact that all of a sudden, Africa,
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, East Asia and India have known
Speaker 1: for a while, which is that a politician could be
Speaker 1: a terrible person. I wonder what he means. He doesn't work
Speaker 1: as a human being, but he works for me at
Speaker 1: a policy level, so I'll vote for him. That's a
Speaker 1: compromise that I think the rest of the world has
Speaker 1: made a long time ago. I get to talk about
Speaker 1: America with more freedom, says Verdas than an American comic.
Speaker 1: American comedy is ideology connected. American mainstream comedy is now conservative. Ironically,
Speaker 1: it's gone from being punk rock to very conservative, right
Speaker 1: down the middle, or you're very far liberal. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to identify with a certain camps that you can gravitate
Speaker 1: towards that audience. But when you come in with an
Speaker 1: outsider perspective, which is I'm just visiting. I don't be
Speaker 1: part of any of these camps. That's freedom that no
Speaker 1: American comic has when you have no dog in the race.
Speaker 1: Such I'm tremendously enjoying doing political humor in America, but
Speaker 1: trying to show Americans what I see. Chelsea Handler hosted
Speaker 1: the Critics' Choice Awards on Friday night and took a
Speaker 1: swipe at Milania Trump. She compared Missus Trump to a
Speaker 1: sex worker. During her opening monologue, Handler said it was
Speaker 1: a huge year for biopics. She listed off some of
Speaker 1: the films, A Complete Unknown about Bob Dylan, Maria about
Speaker 1: Maria Callis, and anor about Milania Trump. Now I didn't
Speaker 1: get the joke, but A Nora is a film that
Speaker 1: follows a young prostitute who marries the son of a
Speaker 1: Russian oligarch that has not gone over well with some camps.
Speaker 1: Handler also introduced herself as the event's DEI host. I'm
Speaker 1: your DEI host, Chelsea Handler. I want to acknowledge that
Speaker 1: we've been through a lot lately, not just here in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, but in our entire country, waking up every
Speaker 1: day not knowing what news we're gonna hear that will
Speaker 1: disappoint and horrify us. So it's in important times like
Speaker 1: this to have a distraction. And that's why I personally
Speaker 1: extend my gratitude to Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're not hip to that story, Justin directed and
Speaker 1: starred in the twenty twenty four drama It Ends with
Speaker 1: Us alongside Blake. Blake later accused him of sexual harassment.
Speaker 1: Justin has denied her claims and fired back, claiming that Lively,
Speaker 1: her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their friend Taylor Swift hijacked
Speaker 1: the film. Handler also took a shot at RFK, joking
Speaker 1: that anyone who lost out on their awards would be
Speaker 1: in the background questioning your life choices, like Cheryl Hines
Speaker 1: at a Senate confirmation hearing that's a good joke, all right.
Speaker 1: Best Talk Show. The nominees were Hot Ones, The Daily Show,
Speaker 1: The Graham Norton Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Late
Speaker 1: Show with Colbert. The winner, John Mulaney presents Everybody's In
Speaker 1: La Good Choice their Best Comedy Special. The nominees were
Speaker 1: Jim Gaffigan for The Skinny, Kevin James for Irregardless, Nikki
Speaker 1: Glazer some Day You'll Die, Rachel Bloom Death, Let Me
Speaker 1: do My Special, Rammy Yusef's More Feelings the winner, Ali
Speaker 1: Wang's Single Lady. Best Comedy was a tie went to
Speaker 1: A Real Pain and Deadpool and Wolverine. Best Comedy Series
Speaker 1: went to Hacks, beating out Avid English Teacher Nobody Wants
Speaker 1: This from Netflix, Only Murders, Somebody Somewhere on Max, Saint
Speaker 1: Dennis Medical on NBC and What We Do in The Shadows.
Speaker 1: Best Actor in a Comedy Series went to Adam Brody
Speaker 1: for Nobody Wants This. Best Actress in a Comedy Series
Speaker 1: went to Gene Smart for Hacks. Best Supporting Actor Comedy Series,
Speaker 1: Michael Yuri for Shrinking. Best Actress in a Comedy Series
Speaker 1: Hannah Einbinder for Hacks. Sam Morrell talked to The Eagle
Speaker 1: Online and they were curious, what's the best piece of
Speaker 1: advice Sam has received recently. Sam said, honestly, make your
Speaker 1: own stuff. It's more satisfying. Just make your own stuff.
Speaker 1: Don't wait for anyone. You have to have money to
Speaker 1: do it, you have to have made money. But then
Speaker 1: I also think, what else would I rather spend money
Speaker 1: on than this. I'm not really in the cars or anything.
Speaker 1: What would I rather spend money on? There? Just making comedy.
Speaker 1: So I think if you surround yourself with really funny
Speaker 1: people and you make something that you like, then I
Speaker 1: think you bet on yourself. I agree with that. That's
Speaker 1: what this whole project is here. I don't want to
Speaker 1: make stuff for other people anymore. I make stuff for us,
Speaker 1: me and you. Sam had advice for those pursuing comedy
Speaker 1: and said, the truth is, I don't really know about
Speaker 1: getting it in a stand up now because it's changed
Speaker 1: so much from when I started, So my advice would
Speaker 1: probably send out of touch now. For me, it was
Speaker 1: get on stage as much as possible. That's what comics
Speaker 1: would tell me. That was the only way to be
Speaker 1: a good stand up. But now there's comics making a
Speaker 1: living online. I guess it's good and bad. There's other avenues,
Speaker 1: but also it's not great because you know they're not
Speaker 1: going to get better. Your currency was your act back
Speaker 1: of the day. When I started. It wasn't like some
Speaker 1: other things like a podcast or you know, TikTok or
Speaker 1: something like that. So my advice would still be like,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a really good stand up
Speaker 1: and do everything you can do, tour the country before
Speaker 1: you're ready. You know. I was cold emailing bookers every
Speaker 1: ten days and following up because I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a road comic because that's what the comics I liked
Speaker 1: were doing. So I think, look at what the comics
Speaker 1: you like are doing and emulate them in a creative way.
Speaker 1: Find your own spin on that trajectory. Jay Leno said,
Speaker 1: I like to tell jokes. People say you should do
Speaker 1: a Netflix special. Jay says, I don't want to do
Speaker 1: it once and get a big check. I'd rather do
Speaker 1: it one hundred times and get a bunch of smaller checks.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's more fun for me,
Speaker 1: That's what I like. What he means is if you
Speaker 1: do the Netflix special, you've burned all your material, and
Speaker 1: Leno says, this way you can try things out and
Speaker 1: see how they work. He told a story about how
Speaker 1: an unnamed comedian came on The Tonight Show to promote
Speaker 1: a special and told Jay that he was going to
Speaker 1: keep doing the same jokes on the tour, arguing that
Speaker 1: it's like hearing a song. It's not like that at all.
Speaker 1: But after returning from the tour, the comedian told Jay
Speaker 1: that he regretted it. Leno said, they're watching it for
Speaker 1: free at home. Now they're paying forty five dollars or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. You're the same thing they just heard
Speaker 1: for free. You can't get greedy. You can't take the
Speaker 1: Netflix money and the personal appearance money. Always good to
Speaker 1: hear from the listeners. Justin checked in. He works nights
Speaker 1: in a boring part of Texas and says, I look
Speaker 1: forty your podcast every morning around two am the Central time.
Speaker 1: You were the only new drop after midnight, and I
Speaker 1: thank you. Keep up the good work, and he tagged
Speaker 1: it with also Amy Schumer wanted me to tell you
Speaker 1: to talk about her earlen let me throw maybe in
Speaker 1: Google here. I didn't have an Amy story prepared and
Speaker 1: trying to let that go. But let me see what
Speaker 1: Amy's up to. It's always fun. Let's see Amy Schumer.
Speaker 1: Oh Slate has an article called what happened to Amy Schumer?
Speaker 1: Oh my, and people dot Com has a story Amy
Speaker 1: Schumer calls out kind of pregnant critics for seeking more clicks.
Speaker 1: All right, Amy, you want us to talk about you? Sure.
Speaker 1: Amy posts it on Insta on Thursday, sharing a favorable
Speaker 1: mention from Variety's review, saying this means a lot to me.
Speaker 1: Didn't I read Variety's review? Maybe I read the Hollywood
Speaker 1: Reporters review. Anyway, Amy says, it gets more clicks to
Speaker 1: trash someone, especially me, if you don't like physical comedy,
Speaker 1: or you're a single guy who prefers sci fi, or
Speaker 1: sometimes the assignment is to trash something. So I appreciate
Speaker 1: the bravery to say you like something. Apparently what Variety
Speaker 1: had written, per Amy, Schumer is. And Schumer's a great
Speaker 1: comedian in part because she's a great actress. She keeps
Speaker 1: it real. When Leaney recites an ansect and poem to
Speaker 1: Josh's way of Wooingham, showing us the young woman who
Speaker 1: fell in love with literature, we suddenly see the character
Speaker 1: not as a joke. A moment like that makes a difference.
Speaker 1: It tells you that even a commercial comedy that just
Speaker 1: wants to crack you up can, for a moment, be
Speaker 1: more than that. And I'll save this Slate thing for
Speaker 1: tomorrow anyway, justin appreciate you, thank you for listening. And
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm recording this on Sunday because there
Speaker 1: wasn't enough news on Friday to finish out an episode.
Speaker 1: But thank you Kanye West for solving that problem. So
Speaker 1: that's enough for today. I'll save the rest for a
Speaker 1: Tuesday's show. I'm gonna go into super Bowl mode. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Boy, that was some game. Huh. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'll share my thoughts with it tomorrow. By
