00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:12,839
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,

3
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,000
a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,519
comedy industry. I'm gonna indulge myself here at the top,

5
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:20,800
So if your first time listener, maybe skip five minutes

6
00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:22,839
in because you don't know my backstory. For everybody else,

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,879
I'm not doing a bit here. I'm really bothered. I

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,559
know this is going to sound like a bit, but

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,519
I am truly bothered. I'll give you the news story first.

10
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:35,560
Sebastian Maniscalco is getting a channel on Serious XM. It

11
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:39,840
is Sebastian Maniscalco's comedy radio. And why I'm bothered is

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,840
it's taking over Channel ninety nine, which was the home

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,640
of Raw Dog Comedy, which I used to program many

14
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:48,600
moons ago. And let me tell you, for a radio guy,

15
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:53,920
this is painful. Raw Dog Comedy was one of the

16
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:57,640
great radio stations of all time. Now, obviously I'm attached

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,960
to it, I'm biased. I programmed it. But my radio

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,439
hero growing up was Howard Stern. And when I met

19
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:07,519
Howard Stern, Howard Stern told me row Dog sounded great,

20
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:11,319
which was the radio complement of my life. Sebastian Man

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,040
of Skalko said, joining Serious XM and launching my own

22
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:16,480
channel is a huge moment for me. Honestly, the real

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,400
comedy may come from trying to teach my father how

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,680
to find Serious XM and his car hilarious. That alone

25
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:24,879
could be its own weekly series. Now, I will tell

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,400
you back in the day, Raw dogg Comedy was right

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,480
at the top of the most popular stations, and it

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,200
was cool. The other stations might be branded the blue

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,319
collar guys. They were great to work with. Jamie Fox

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,799
great to work with, but rowd Dog was its own thing.

31
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:42,920
It was comedy uncensored, and when we came on the scene,

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,040
that was a new thing, and like all great things,

33
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,000
it was great because the bosses weren't paying attention to it,

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,239
and we did things to make ourselves laugh. We would

35
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,519
just throw shows on the air and have fun, play

36
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:56,920
uncensored comedy. And then nine years into my ten year career,

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,480
the organizational structure changed and I found myself in a

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,079
room with a guy now running programming for some reason

39
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,799
and says to me that his wife doesn't know the

40
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:07,920
comedians we're playing on the Raw Dog channel, to which

41
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,280
I said but that's the whole value proposition of the

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,240
channel is we're on the forefront of comedy. We're going

43
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,199
to all these comedy festivals because that's how we stay sharp,

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400
and then we come back and we play people before

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,680
they become famous. While playing the hits, I programmed this thing.

46
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,439
I did what's called an ABC rotation. I'll teach you

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,000
music programming real quickly. Okay, thre three categories, A, B,

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,479
and C. And the A category you play things really tightly.

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,120
B you have more than you have in the A.

50
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,360
And then the C is a big giant bucket of comedy.

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,639
So new stuff goes in the A, or stuff that

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,319
you want to push goes in the A. So like

53
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:44,759
right now, Robbie Hoffman would be an A right now

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,560
because Robbie Hoffman's hot. You want to play Robbie Hoffman

55
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:50,479
and Nikki Glazer and John m'alaney and Jim Gaffigan and

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,560
Sebastian Manaskalko, those would be your a's. And then over

57
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,159
time that material gets, you know, a little tired because

58
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:57,840
you've heard it, and you drop it down into B.

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,599
And then overtime the b's fall out of B and

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,879
fall into SE and that's how we program this thing.

61
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,759
And then, for I don't know his last I wasn't

62
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:05,840
there very long, we dumped it down and we turned

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,639
it into raw Dog Comedy hits, and I was forced

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,719
to run the Ron and Fez program. So now the

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Raw Dog channel has gone away. It's been called raw

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,879
Comedy for I don't know when. At some point they

67
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,280
stopped calling it raw dog and started calling it raw comedy,

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,039
which is lame and vanilla in itself. So I am

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,919
sad to see this go Now. The big guy in

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,080
the corner office, he loves names, he loves putting faces

71
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,439
on the brochure, and I'm sure the marketing people will

72
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:32,319
be really excited to see Sebastian making a dumb face

73
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,080
on the thing next to Conan O'Brien and Kevin Hart

74
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,479
and whatever else is on there now. But boy, this

75
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,439
one personally pains me. Raw Dog Comedy uncensored, rest in Peace,

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,039
one of the all time great radio stations. Sebastian might

77
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080
look good on the brochure, but is it cool in

78
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:52,400
any way? Absolutely not. Back in those days, I got

79
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,599
to know Ralphie May reasonably well, good guy who was

80
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,240
very fond of him. The documentary Come What May, is

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,039
out on matche eighth. It includes archival footage of Ralphie

82
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,120
May chronicling how the loving husband and father fell victim

83
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:08,759
to enabler's addiction and abuse, causing his brake light to

84
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:12,000
burn out far too quickly. There is a trailer. Let's

85
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:14,039
take a listen, he telling my story.

86
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: Be good, m I'm a very flawed in him perfect man.

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,199
Speaker 4: You know.

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: Problem in Houston, Texas.

89
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,399
Speaker 1: Ralphie May, Ralphie May can't see this about that person

90
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:29,519
and that about this person.

91
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:31,319
Speaker 2: The last group left is fat people.

92
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: We're we're the last ones left.

93
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,199
Speaker 2: He was a common man with uncommon abilities and insights.

94
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: I want to go back in time, find a guy

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,040
who's been a carrot cake and plunge him in his face.

96
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: He knew how to tap your soul to make you

97
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,519
be like, Okay, it's gonna be all right.

98
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,399
Speaker 3: I'm going to Tennessee. Raised an Arkansas and moved to

99
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:52,040
Texas when I was eighteen. I'm Southern. I'm my own cousin, okay.

100
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:54,639
Speaker 1: Who It was just detonation.

101
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: It was really just like pulling the pin on a grenade.

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:56,759
Every night.

103
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:57,399
Speaker 2: I've lost like.

104
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:59,959
Speaker 3: Two hundred seventy pounds the last two year. Don't clap.

105
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,399
It's not a real accomplishment. You lose a whole fat man,

106
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,560
You're still fat as hell. I had gasher bypass surgery.

107
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,360
I asked her again and marry me.

108
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 4: He looked up. He said, I got gutted like a catfish.

109
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,120
I want to be here with you. I don't know

110
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,240
what else I can say.

111
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: I had a lot of trauma when I was growing up,

112
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:21,639
and then I started masking that with a weed and food.

113
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,279
His pain was directed towards himself.

114
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,079
Speaker 3: Tell myself the truth, all food at it.

115
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 4: He said he was off of pills and he did

116
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,879
a great job of hiding them from me. Daddy, please

117
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:34,439
pick up some break called back.

118
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,519
Speaker 3: Gadgie made conversation and he just went, I love stand up.

119
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,680
It's fantastic. It's the greatest job, but I don't have

120
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,399
it all my life.

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,079
Speaker 4: He was very kind, he was very generous. He's a

122
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,279
great person, and he loved to make people laugh.

123
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: A lot of comedians want to me these guys.

124
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,519
Speaker 2: I just wanted to be a great comedian.

125
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,519
Speaker 3: How many people in this world can legit make you

126
00:05:57,639 --> 00:05:59,480
lose yourself in laughter.

127
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: Rouffie was larger than life. He never did anything with subtlety.

128
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:09,120
Everything was big. He spread a lot of laughter and

129
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,959
a lot of joy.

130
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been great, Thank you so much. David Letterman

131
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,839
has weighed in on his whole Byron Allen CBS eleven thirty.

132
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,519
Thing here is David Letterman.

133
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: It's comics on leash. Yeh, yeah, that's what's going to

134
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:27,720
be here instead of the Byron the Barber game, the

135
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,759
Billionaire oh Man. And as we always mentioned, when he

136
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,720
was a kid, like fourteen, he and I were together

137
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,600
with a group of people who wrote for Jimmy Walker.

138
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,519
Did you know back then that you were looking at

139
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,480
a young No, he was a kid, and I always thought,

140
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,360
this is great. Here's a kid who is interested in

141
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:50,160
show business. Jimmy Walker, big, big, big star. And then

142
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:52,720
you had Stooges. There was a guy named Wayne Klein

143
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,920
who was a joke machine. Elaine Boosler was also a

144
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,920
very funny young comedian Jay Leno and myself and I

145
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,199
think Marty Nadler who had something to do with Lavernon

146
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,399
Shirley and Byron Allen who was literally fourteen and his

147
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:15,360
mother would drive him to these writers meetings. Why would

148
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:16,639
they replace.

149
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: The talk show with that money.

150
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they don't want to spend any money, so

151
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,920
they're going to make money. They charge Byron Allen some

152
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:30,399
reasonable price. He sells all the advertising for his comics Unleash,

153
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,360
and it'll be I think ninety minutes or two hours

154
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,800
of comics talking about funny stuff. It's the show is

155
00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:41,920
a pretty good idea. It's all panel. Nobody's doing any

156
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:45,120
stand up, except they're seated doing stand.

157
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Up while I'm depressed about rod Dog Comedy Uncensored and

158
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:51,319
meeting an unstimely death. Philamina. Kunk is back, so at

159
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:54,839
least there's some good in this universe. The character created

160
00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:57,480
by Diane Morgan, who plays Kunk, known for her dead

161
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,040
pant style and ill informed questions as host of several documentaries,

162
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,360
is returning for another mockumentary series, this time about movies.

163
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,480
It's called Kunk on Cinema, which follows Kunk on Britain,

164
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Kunk on Earth, and Kunk on Life. It is build

165
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:14,279
as her most glamorous series to date. It'll be a

166
00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:16,360
three parter. It's nown production. It will air on the

167
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:21,240
BBC and Netflix. The log line Kunk will attempt to

168
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:24,439
demystify it all while sitting in lumpy seats with stale popcorn,

169
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:26,839
asking herself where did cinema come from? And why? And

170
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:28,720
what does it want? And why can't it tell us?

171
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:31,879
Kunk said, cinema has given the world some of the

172
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,279
most profound, memorable and moving visual moments, and it's unswerving

173
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,000
depiction of the human condition. The shower scene in Psycho

174
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,399
Death playing chess, and that Swedish thing and Tom Selex

175
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,480
glistening mustache and three men in a Little Lady, to

176
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,240
name it all three of the only examples I can

177
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,759
think of at the moment. There will unfortunately be some

178
00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:49,240
bits in black and white, but we'll keep that to

179
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,360
the barest minimum. Looking forward to that one, The Flight

180
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,039
of the Concords. Boy, They're hot. I mentioned last week.

181
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,519
I thought about going out there and I saw the

182
00:08:57,519 --> 00:08:59,759
six hundred dollars ticket price and I'm like, Eh, maybe not.

183
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,200
My new kick is concert DVD slash blu rays. Then

184
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,600
I talk about this, I know, I wrote about it

185
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:08,120
on the substack. I was like, I'm not going to

186
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,279
see Springsteen. He's charging too much. But I was in

187
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:12,279
a Springsteen mood, so I just threw in the DVD

188
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,960
of his London show and hit play, and I was like,

189
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,120
this is great because this is the two thousand and

190
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:19,039
nine E Street Band, which was a lot closer to

191
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,240
the traditional E Street Band. No Danny, but Clarence was

192
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,200
still there. And then at one point Bruce went into

193
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,279
one of his speeches and I was like, at a concert,

194
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,159
I'd go get a beer and go to the bathroom

195
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,559
right now. So I got up and got a drink

196
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,080
and went to the bathroom and came back and Bruce

197
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:32,440
was still in the middle of the story. And then

198
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,960
I watched the rest of the show and then I

199
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,960
was home in zero seconds. So that's kind of my move.

200
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,039
Maybe I'll just watch the Flight of the Concords on HBO.

201
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,840
I digressed. Brett mackenzie discussed how the reunion came to be, said,

202
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:46,879
they were always offers simmering around. We haven't done anything

203
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:48,879
for a while. We've been jamming a little bit last year,

204
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:50,759
just trying to write some new ideas with no intention

205
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:52,480
of booking a tour or anything, but just for fun.

206
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,200
We've got a great booking agent, Nick, and Nick said,

207
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,120
oh guys, here's this offer. It's in LA What do

208
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,399
you think and it was just sort of the right

209
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,159
type of gig for us. It's not too big. We're

210
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:01,440
not going on the road for six months. I think

211
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,679
it was just one gig and then they had a

212
00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:05,039
a second show. We were committed to one gig, so

213
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,559
we're like, we can manage one gig. Brett says, We've

214
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,919
got a song called Jenny, which is about two people.

215
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,480
The song's about a guy and a woman Jenny. Anyway,

216
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:14,200
we're like, let's have it go, see how much we

217
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,159
can remember. And the song's about him struggling and remember,

218
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:17,720
and both of us are struggling and remember. And we

219
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:19,879
got halfway through the song and like, I don't know

220
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:21,639
what happens. I mean, I know there's a baby, but

221
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:23,200
I know how we get to the bit about the baby,

222
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,720
and then we have to pull up the recording and

223
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:26,600
you can actually just google our own lyrics. So we

224
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,120
were laughing at jokes that we'd forgotten. There are no

225
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:32,279
plans for the Concords after the festival, although based on

226
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,039
the demand, I'm saying I won't be shocked if that changes.

227
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,320
Brett McKenzie said it'd be fun to do some more,

228
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,639
but we're just gonna take it and see it as

229
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,399
we go. Playing live is pretty fun for us. Jamaine

230
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,399
has a really busy schedule, a lot of filmwork, acting

231
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,480
and stuff. The live shows are quite good because you go, oh,

232
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,759
we can get a week, so maybe we could do

233
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:49,440
something there within those few weeks. It seems more realistic

234
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,519
than blocking out a year or two. The audience is

235
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,919
just psych man, it's cool. I mean this one benefit

236
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,440
of not playing for eight years. It builds up a

237
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,840
little bit of interest. A lot of our audience has

238
00:10:57,879 --> 00:11:00,440
never seen us play. Last time we played all Australia

239
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,320
was twenty twelve. It's a logo. A lot of people

240
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,000
have never had a chance to see the live show.

241
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,200
Don't forget to vote for Comedy Survivor. We're down to

242
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:11,840
the finale, Nicki Glazer versus Sarah Silverman, who will win

243
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,399
Comedy Island or whatever we're doing. Here's what you do.

244
00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:16,679
You go to the Facebook group, you vote one of

245
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,080
them off. We are voting off. You're voting against somebody,

246
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:23,279
so you vote off Sarah Silverman or you vote off

247
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:25,799
Nicki Glazer. You go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy

248
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:28,000
News Podcast group and you write down the name of

249
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:31,159
the person you want to lose. Speaking of Sarah Silverman,

250
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,000
she's got a new gig. The team behind Netflix is

251
00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:37,480
nobody wants this. Have cast Sarah Silverman to play Rabbi

252
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,879
Eden in the upcoming third season, described in Variety as

253
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,120
the warm, quirky teacher of an intro to Judaism class

254
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,279
and a supportive presence for Joanne and Noah. Fun fact,

255
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,679
Sarah's sister, Rabbi Susan Silverman, is a rabbi. I could

256
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,279
have phrased that better, but I'm depressed over raw dog comedy.

257
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,600
But you probably figured out when I said Rabbi Susan

258
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,840
Silverman that Susan Silverman is a rabbi. I need a

259
00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:03,080
laugh to cheer myself up. Tim Dillon made fun of

260
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,200
Megan Markle, which is one of the things I do

261
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,759
as the writer on the Palace Intrigue podcast. We're having

262
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:09,600
a big week because Megan and Harry are down in

263
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,320
Australia and everybody's just hating on them, and it makes

264
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,000
writing the show really easy. Tim Dillon was on that

265
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:18,440
podcast with David Spade and Dana Carvey. Tim Dillon said,

266
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,320
I think Megan will eventually find her way into some

267
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,399
type of talk show because she's failed at the Martha

268
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,320
Stewart route, which she wanted. She was slinging Jam and Target.

269
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:27,960
She wanted to have a lifestyle brand. Spade said Jim

270
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,279
was an interesting choice. It's probably an uncrowded market o

271
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,679
than Welch's. I can't think of too many. Tim Dillon

272
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,080
said she definitely needs to adjust her strategy. I could

273
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,799
also see her going back to the UK and saying

274
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,480
let's give it another go. Dana Carvey said, I think

275
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:41,759
they do have to go back and stir the brand again.

276
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:43,759
Dylan said, I think we're all a little tired of

277
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:45,440
her stick here. I don't think it worked as well

278
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,080
she thought it would. I think her idea was to

279
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,000
come back to America and say, listen, the British are

280
00:12:49,039 --> 00:12:51,080
really racist, but they do know a lot about dinner

281
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,679
parties and I've learned that. So I'm here to tell

282
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,159
you how to live like a human being and what

283
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,519
fork to use you pig, American pig. And I think

284
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,440
that felt a little condescending. She had that show on

285
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:00,399
Netflix where she was basically like, now, well this is

286
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:02,279
what they call a saucer. You put your coffee cup

287
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,440
at it so it doesn't spill. Over your illegitimate children,

288
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,679
you animals. I think people got huttle turned off by that.

289
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,080
Thank you Tim Dillon for cheering me up. The Moon

290
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:14,679
Tower Comedy Festival gets a little more serious in Austin today.

291
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:17,320
Let's take a look at the schedule. Brad Williams at

292
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,559
the Paramount at seven o'clock. That's pretty cool. Matthew Bissard

293
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,960
and Jackie Kashin doing a doubleheader at the Cap City

294
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,759
Comedy Main Room at seven Beth Stelling at the Greek

295
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:29,000
of the Cave at seven p fifteen, maybe for a

296
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,519
late show. The texs Ins at the Velveta Room looks

297
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,600
like a bunch of comedians from Texas. At nine point thirty,

298
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:38,519
the Melbourne Comedy Festival continues. The folks at Sceinester went

299
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,320
to see lou Wall, they write. Last year, a clip

300
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,480
of Lou Wall performing a musical number about selling a

301
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:47,320
bed on Facebook marketplace went ridiculously viral online. Three separate

302
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,440
people sent it to me, so you can imagine. I

303
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,360
had high expectations when heading to check out Lou Wall's

304
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,240
twenty twenty six show. Where are all the tall Grandma's

305
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,919
scenester wrights? The show left me wondering is there a

306
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,720
prize for best opening to a show? Because if there is,

307
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,799
Lou Wall my ticket. In twenty twenty five, Wall was

308
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,879
nominated for Most Outstanding Show, and it was easy to

309
00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:09,960
see why. All right, we should probably play a clip

310
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,320
from Lou Wall. John, all right, here's a clip from

311
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,879
Lou Wall.

312
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,799
Speaker 1: What is U? Hello? My name is Lou, and recently

313
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,279
I've started going to therapy. But I'm not like normal therapy,

314
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:27,159
like completely online virtual therapy, which is a risk. But

315
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,039
I thought, what's the worst that could happen? Like if

316
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,240
it doesn't work out, I'll turn it into a comedy bit.

317
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,360
And here we are. This is how it began. Hi, Lou,

318
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:40,279
my name's Jessica. I'll be your new internet therapist. Shall

319
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:42,480
we start with some personal details so I can get

320
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:47,080
to know you better? Stop, Jessica, I'm Lou really excited

321
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,600
to be working with you. What would you like to know? Name, age, address,

322
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:54,240
credit card? In fire, I was like, oh, my name

323
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,480
is still Lou. That hasn't changed since my last message

324
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:58,360
to you. My address and credit card to private. I'm

325
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,799
twenty nine, but honestly I've looked forty since I was twelve.

326
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,720
Ha ha ha said the cook. Sorry, I'm just like

327
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,159
jocking around plase I type that as a reflection of

328
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:08,960
my mental health.

329
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: Good stuff there, Seinsters says Wall was an affable presence

330
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:14,360
on stage and dearing themselves to the crowd from the

331
