1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,719
Found this one on the internet. This guy said that

4
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:19,280
the other night after the knixt game, he went by

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,640
the comedy seller user vodka. Mike three said, well, I

6
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:25,280
must have hit the lottery. He caught the eleven to

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,519
thirty comedy seller show. Honestly not even sold out. Place

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,960
was kind of dead due that in the Knicks game, well,

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,439
about four comedians in the host calls up Chris Rock

10
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:35,679
the place goes wild in all out of state. Chris said,

11
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:39,000
the place electrified with just his presence. He then proceeded

12
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,799
to bomb recovered the last five. Then Dave Chappelle emerged

13
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,119
from the stairwell. Place goes wild, the lights of Smoke,

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,079
grabs a drink, hits us with just shy of two

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,159
hours of comedy, just kind of riffing and talking crap.

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,799
He brings up a drunk but funny Shane Gillis for

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,719
the last twenty they totally slayd together. Basically, the three

18
00:00:56,719 --> 00:00:58,679
were at the next game and just swung in and

19
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,679
dropped an impromptu set. I still can't believe this happened.

20
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:04,200
That is the only mention I have seen of that,

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,400
but if that did happen, that's pretty cool. In the

22
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,280
Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, Dylan

23
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:14,920
shared a thread some dude who's not Dylan made a

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,599
video the top twenty five standups of the two thousands.

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:17,719
Speaker 1: Now.

26
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: Luckily Dylan summarized the list for me, so I don't

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,480
have to watch the video. I'm going to react before

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,239
I even look at the list. I would say here

29
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:28,359
in June of twenty twenty six, off the top of

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,560
my head on research, just reacting, I'd have to say

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,200
number one Dave Chappelle, number two Louis c K despite

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,439
all the controversy, and three Dane Cook, who has become

33
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:41,599
underrated and everybody forgets what Dane Cook did during the aughts.

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,920
Then there's another tier with like Mulaney and Gaffigan's probably

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,159
in there. But let's see what this list is and

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,319
I will react to it cold. Dylan's recap in the

37
00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:52,920
Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group tells us twenty

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,480
five Dane cooker right, seems low. Twenty four Jim Jeffries,

39
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:58,120
I'd have to see who else is on the list

40
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:01,760
before I react. Twenty three Gary Goldman twenty two, Jim

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,079
Norton twenty one, Rory Skolvell twenty, Jesselnick nineteen, Kat Williams eighteen,

42
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:13,319
Shane seventeen, Tosh sixteen, Bamford fifteen to eight fourteen Mitch Hedberg.

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,240
If you listen to the show, you know how much

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
I love Mitch. The problem is there's just not the

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,960
body of work. Thirteen gaffagain twelve Bo Burnham, that's crazy talk.

46
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,719
Eleven Doug Stanhope. Love Doug, but that seems too high.

47
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,000
I'm gonna have to go back and react. Ten Greg

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,199
Giraldo nine Patrese O'Neill. As I've said before, I never

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,479
enjoyed the man's company. I'm biased. I get that people

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,120
like he's funny. Never liked being in a room with

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,680
that dude. Eight John Mulaney seven Brian Reagan. That seems high.

52
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,080
Six It Tel, Oh yeah, a Tel, yeah, a good call.

53
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:47,680
Five Colin Quinn that is absurd. For Bill Burr, Oh yeah,

54
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,919
you know. I'll be thinking about Bill Burr lately. Boy,

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,919
he out of everybody who did Riodd, I think Bill

56
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,039
Burr totally goofed up his brand. Like you don't hear

57
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,120
about burn now, and when you do everybody kind of

58
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,639
eye rolls him. I really think he screwed up. Three.

59
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:06,520
Chappelle two, Norm MacDonald no number one, Louis c K.

60
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,719
So what did I say? I said, Chappelle c K

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,360
and Dane. All right, let me look at this. Let's

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,240
go in the other direction.

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: C K.

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,199
Speaker 2: You know you could argue it, but I'll put Chappelle there.

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,560
Norm that's way too high. Colin Quinn is insanity at five.

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,639
Brian Reagan is too high at seven. Laney's probably about right.

67
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,319
Greg Giraldo at ten is crazy talk. Twelve, Bo Burnham

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,319
is crazy talk. Nate bergatsy at fifteen. You know, if

69
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:33,800
we're gonna put Nate on the list, are we gonna

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,919
put Sebastian Manascalco on the list? Because they're kind of

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,520
like doing the same thing tour wise, and I don't

72
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,800
think either one of them is particularly groundbreaking anyway, if

73
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:44,159
my memory suits me, I did some version of this

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,039
list around the end of the year, so you can

75
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,479
go back in the feed and look at that. Jenny Mack,

76
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:53,919
are you serving us leftovers today? No? Why do you ask? Yeah,

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,280
if you've been listening, it's been slow lately. Here's some

78
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:00,919
fun facts from David Cross. David Cross fun Facts US Weekly.

79
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:03,039
David Cross says, I used to be a night owl

80
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560
up until about nine years ago. Now I'm a morning person.

81
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:08,319
My nine year old daughter is happy to explain why. Yes,

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,159
I in my friend group, I had children a little

83
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:15,560
bit earlier than the others, and you know you have

84
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,240
a baby. If you've raised children, you understand you need

85
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:21,680
to sleep. And my friends would be like, why can't

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,199
you come out on Friday night? Are you whipped? And

87
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,519
I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you don't understand. I

88
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,160
can go out. What I can't do is go out

89
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,079
and then the next morning be like, oh, sorry, I

90
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,759
know you had the baby all night because I went out,

91
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,959
and you still have the baby because I'm hungover. You

92
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:37,399
can't do that, So I understand David Cross. We also

93
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,759
learned that his go to dish that is universally recognized

94
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,639
as superior in every way is his chili. His family

95
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,959
requested at least once every couple weeks, and he has

96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,839
to make extra for all the neighbors. Interesting, his secret,

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,439
completely useless talent is that David Cross can tell you

98
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,920
the temperature within one degree. Like if we were outside

99
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,079
and you said how hot do you think it is?

100
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,439
I'd go, I'm about seventy one degrees, and I'd be right.

101
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,959
There are a lot of famous people in my phone list,

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,000
but the most famous is probably Bill Odenkirk, It says,

103
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,279
I assume he's kidding or the transcription messed up. I

104
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,800
would have to guess in my phone it's Jimmy Fallon

105
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,240
would probably be it. Stephen van Zant. Fallon's more well

106
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,279
known than Van's Ant, right, humble brag. I'd have to

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,839
go through every now and then I'll like, so my

108
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:22,600
business partner's name is Mark, and I'll be scrolling down

109
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,600
and I'll type in Mark, and I almost accidentally text

110
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:28,639
Mark Maren things like that. David Cross says, I don't

111
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,920
get starstruck a whole lot, but I do get sports

112
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:34,160
stars struck. I got to hang out with for like

113
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,480
an hour and a half and drink with Chipper Jones.

114
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,360
That's the old Breeves player that US Mets fans don't like.

115
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000
And I was unforgettable, an absolute legend. We were just

116
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:44,439
chilling and shooting the stuff, and I will never forget

117
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:47,680
it for me. Now this goes back way way. I

118
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,000
may have told the story It's one of my favorite

119
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120
stories tell so I'm gonna tell it again. It's like

120
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:54,519
seven point thirty in the morning. I'm working at wr Radio.

121
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,439
It's the early nineties. I'm walking down the hallway on

122
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,360
my way to produce the show at eight o'clock and

123
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,839
I look up and there's a man and the man

124
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,000
can see the look on my face that I'm like what,

125
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:07,360
And the man sticks out his hand. He goes, Hi,

126
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,800
Charlton Heston. I will never forget that moment, just because

127
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,319
I was like, oh wait, that's Tarlton. Doesn't hi Charlton Heston.

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,319
That was my time I met Trelton Heston. I enjoy

129
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:22,040
his movies, enjoy his work, and I enjoyed the one

130
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:24,000
time I met him. I thought you, I've been keeping

131
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,399
this list of celebrities have met over the years. At

132
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:28,240
some point I'll read it to you. I did not

133
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,519
to flexious to I don't know filler one day, but

134
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:33,519
not today. Cross says his celebrity crush growing up was

135
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,920
an Aastasia Kinsky that poster have heard with the snake.

136
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,279
I mean, come on, what's left on David Cross's bucket list?

137
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,759
He says, Let's see I hike the Inca Trail and

138
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,920
dove to the blue Hole and Belieze a couple years ago.

139
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,079
So I'm gonna say space. Maybe I've been struggling with

140
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,279
that since I went to Antarctica a year and a

141
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:51,160
half ago. Like I don't know what to do now

142
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:54,240
because I've I've been very, very fortunate. Please understand as

143
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,360
I go to this rap, I'm very thankful for all

144
00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:59,160
the things I've had, and I'm aware that I've been

145
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,759
able to do something. But I've been to Iceland in

146
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,279
Alaska and Australia, and like, I don't know, Maybe I

147
00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:06,000
kind of want to go to Japan. Seems to be

148
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:08,120
my new kick. We'll see. I also, and I'm not

149
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,319
doing a bit. Was thinking about there's a way you

150
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,959
can climb Kilimanjaro, but it's not like a mountain climb.

151
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480
It's like the long way up you walk, and like

152
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:17,439
it's not just like a stroll. You got to put

153
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:19,480
some effort into it and train. But I kind of

154
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,759
have that on my list too. I feel like some

155
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,720
fifty six, I feel like I need another big thing,

156
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,079
Like I was driving Tantarctica for years and I don't

157
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:31,279
know I need a thing. If you're new This isn't

158
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,319
now the show normally goes. I don't normally do all

159
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,759
these sidebars, but you know, it's a quiet Monday. Leftover

160
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:40,000
is from Variety. Mark Maron talked about his pilot for

161
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:43,360
Mark Maren Project back at nineteen ninety five. It was

162
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:46,480
a talk show pilot for Comedy Central. That space eventually

163
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,079
was taken by The Daily Show. Maren said, at that time,

164
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:51,800
HBO at a piece on Comedy Central and HBO Downtown

165
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,560
produced a show that used to do for them short

166
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,439
attention span theater. They want to do a talk show

167
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:56,959
pilot because I was sort of there and I want

168
00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:58,879
to try. We did a pilot. I felt like we

169
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,879
did two episodes of The Mark Project. My guess was

170
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:03,519
Dave Chappelle on one of them. It must have been

171
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:06,319
a kid. Then what does Maren think about the current

172
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,040
talk show format? I assume they're hinting at Colbert here.

173
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:11,959
He says, I'm sad that the format can't live in

174
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,399
this world we live in, But I don't think they're

175
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:15,600
at fault. I think ultimately, as individuals, you better hold

176
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:17,240
onto that party of brain that can take in long

177
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:19,160
form content, or else you're just gonna have a complete

178
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,920
mind mode with the tech forces that are guiding your

179
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,480
brain in life, and you won't really have much of

180
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,079
an identity or method of choice anymore. I don't feel

181
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,920
bad that the business is changing, but I don't know

182
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:29,240
what you do about it. Maren On was also on

183
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:33,360
Kara Swisher's podcast, and he got a little political. Maren said,

184
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,399
when comics get duped into this idea that because they

185
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:37,840
can't say tranny or worse words, and somehow or another,

186
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,799
that's the Left infringing on their freedom of speech, it's

187
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,039
so shalt and stupid. Because they fought for it, they

188
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,200
just become part of the party line of dismantling liberal democracy.

189
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,720
It was never a freedom of speech issue. It was

190
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:49,879
it never constitutional issue. You could say whatever you want,

191
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,399
You're just gonna have to should in the burden of

192
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:54,399
the consequences. Ultimately, what happened because they were used to

193
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,360
dismantle the entire infrastructure of DEI and everything else, and

194
00:08:57,399 --> 00:08:59,440
now they don't have to shoulder anything because now they

195
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,399
can say those words with impunity, and the Left is

196
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,200
no traction to counter it. Because we're living in two

197
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,519
separate worlds. Karon said, I hold them responsible for being

198
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,399
the front line to usher in Trump's second era. Send

199
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,600

Toomlinson has an announcement. Would listen to this.

201
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,159
Speaker 1: Hi, guys, I have something really exciting to share with you.

202
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: I wrote a book.

203
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: I wrote a whole book. Can you believe it? I can't.

204
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000
It's called Actually never Mind. It comes out September twenty second.

205
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,720
It's a collection of essays about everything I've changed my

206
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:35,799
mind about over the years, which is literally everything, marriage, sex,

207
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,480
mental health coming out. God, it's my thoughts and feelings

208
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,000
on all of it. I definitely overshared. Uh, try not

209
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,039
to think about that too hard or I'll panic. I

210
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,240
read the audiobook if you're into that, and yeah, you

211
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,519
can pre order it now at the link in my bio,

212
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:54,799
So please go do that.

213
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,639
Speaker 2: Boy, are you excited? I can't wait. Actually never Mind

214
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,200
will come out September twenty s second of this year,

215
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,080
the Taylor Tomlinson book. Yeah. You know what else I'm

216
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,200
really excited about? Listen to this. I had a check

217
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,120
to make sure this is real. Here's the twenty twenty

218
00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:13,799
six Emmy ballot for Best Original Music and Lyrics. I

219
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,120
said Best Original music and Lyrics. I didn't say anything

220
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:19,000
about comedy, did I know? I said best Original Music

221
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:23,799
and Lyrics. One of the people on the ballot for

222
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:28,200
best Original Music and Lyrics is Nicky Glazer. Yeah, it's

223
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:32,000
Nicki Glazer's song good Girl from her Hulu Stan Up special.

224
00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:35,440
And boy, we know she likes Taylor Swift, but boy

225
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,480
she did a bad tailor Swift impression. Here. I'm going

226
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,279
to torture you and make you listen to it. Did

227
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,840
you share the show? You didn't share the show? Richard?

228
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,320
Share the show? Richard? Thank you for sharing the show.

229
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,440
I saw you share the show. Richard hit thirty second

230
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,519
skip like four times. Okay, because I don't want to

231
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:53,639
subject to you to this, but everybody else you didn't

232
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:56,080
share the show, and I'm gonna punish you. You now

233
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,000
have to listen to Nicki Glazer sing good Girl, comment.

234
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: A little strange man poison my day. It's not a

235
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:14,919
common it's garn old look in my age. They'll praise

236
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,600
you for your youthful clue and tiny aways line. She's

237
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:23,759
such a natural role, but he was a filter, and

238
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:29,919
they'll call you a lie. Oh be a.

239
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, we're gonna play some commercials, souse, I

240
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,840
have to go beat my head against a brick wall

241
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:39,600
to give myself brain damage, so I don't remember that

242
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:42,519
the song even exists. Here's a shocker. The guy that

243
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,159
hosts daily Comedy News actually watched some comedy specials the

244
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,320
other night between Nick's games. It was Thursday night, and

245
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,720
I was like, oh, yeah, I should probably watch some

246
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:51,120
of these. This was not the order I watched them in,

247
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,080
but I put on Josh Johnson's Symphony on HBO, and

248
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,759
I know I'm supposed to like it, and I like

249
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,080
Josh Johnson. He comes out and the first couple jokes

250
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,519
are great, and he looks great, and the whole thing

251
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,639
is great, and then a couple I don't know, fifteen

252
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:03,799
minutes in, I'm like, not really enjoying this. I'm just

253
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:05,960
kind of bored, so I bailed on it. That was

254
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,759
actually the third special I watched. The second special I

255
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:11,440
watched was Patton Oswalt, And aside from the Star Trek thing,

256
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,600
which is not a bit I really feel that way,

257
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:18,480
but generally I like Patton Oswalt's comedy a lot like

258
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:20,840
that George Lucas bit that I played the other day.

259
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,720
That's a great bit. I love it. Patten's comedy just

260
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,360
really is in my wheelhouse. But this one, I don't know.

261
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,559
I was sitting there and I'm like, this isn't registering

262
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,840
at all, and I bailed the other thing I didn't like.

263
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,639
It's one of those specials. This is the new thing

264
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,960
that I talked to Pete Holmes about a while back,

265
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,679
where we're just suddenly in the middle of a set.

266
00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:42,080
There's no more like, hey, welcome to the stage. Patten als, well, hey, hey,

267
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,200
how's everybody in Cleveland doing? Yeah, yeah, and then you

268
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,720
go into it. This was one of those new fangled things.

269
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:49,720
We're just boom pattens on stage mid joke. I don't

270
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,559
like that. I live on old Man Mountain, my neighbor's

271
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,799
Pete Holmes Apparently the best of the three best with

272
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,120
a lowercase B was Tony Hinchcliff on Netflix, which is

273
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,679
nothing but empty calories. There's barely any jokes. The crowd

274
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,639
looks like they want to murder him. If you've seen

275
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480
this special, there's this one guy that he's trying to

276
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:13,879
engage with. The guy looks like he might just suddenly.

277
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:17,279
I didn't want to say. The guy does not look

278
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,600
like a happy person. Now a couple days later, I'm wondering,

279
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:23,840
is the guy a plant to set up the whole thing? Maybe,

280
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,480
because the guy just doesn't look like he's having a

281
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:29,840
good time at Tony Hinchcliffe's show. Tony's just doing like,

282
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,720
okay crowd work, and the crowd work's not scoring and

283
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:37,200
there's not too many jokes. And I've got to comment

284
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,360
from another comedian that'll share with you in a minute.

285
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,720
So it's weird. I don't even know why it exists,

286
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,919
I guess other than they really wanted to kill Tony

287
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,639
and as part of that package, they were like, yeah,

288
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,120
we'll do a Tony Hinchcliff comedy special, and Tony doesn't

289
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,879
have any material. Is that what's happening here? The people

290
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:57,840
on Threads are I rate at this special lowercasees And

291
00:13:57,879 --> 00:13:59,720
it's not an hour either. What should we call it? Show?

292
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,639
Hinchcliff recording? This Tony Hinchcliff recording. The people in Threads

293
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:05,600
are I rate that it even exists? And I get it.

294
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:09,120
That said, of the things I watched, this was the

295
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,919
one that kept my attention. And you know, I was

296
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,120
playing on my phone, wasn't studying it, but I enjoyed it.

297
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,639
Is it okay that I enjoyed it? Apparently not? According

298
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,440
to comedian Ryan Davis, who posted on social media, Tony

299
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:23,559
Hinchcliff is so important to comedy in America. Twenty years

300
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:25,480
from now, people will swear that our country wasn't the

301
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,480
way it is today and will try to change history.

302
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:29,879
They're going to try to burn the evidence, but Tony's

303
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:32,440
recorded sets and sold out arena shows will stand as

304
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,120
proof of things that millions of Americans were cheering for

305
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,000
the type of bigotry disguised as comedy that had people

306
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,320
cheering and clapping instead of laughing. If you need a

307
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,480
special to watch today, Brian Simpson Live from the Mothership

308
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:47,399
out on the eight hundred pound Gorilla late Nighter. Looked

309
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:50,000
at the late night ratings. Now Stephen Colbert is gone

310
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,720
and Jimmy Kimmel's lead in was the New York Knicks

311
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:56,919
twice last week. Wednesday's postgame broadcast got three point nine

312
00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,200
to eight million total viewers for Kimmel, making it the

313
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,159
show second high rated episode of the season. Friday's post

314
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,480
game two, after that big comeback, drew three point three

315
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:10,120
eight million viewers. The eighteen to forty nine numbers are

316
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:13,679
just shocking for all these things. Friday got eight hundred

317
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,000
and forty six thousand in that demo Wednesday seven or

318
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:19,440
fifty one thousand in the demo. Meanwhile, Jimmy Fallon, who

319
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,840
had no basketball, lead and fell back to one point

320
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:24,840
three seven million total viewers, and in the eighteen of

321
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:28,919
forty nine's one hundred and sixty four thousand adults, which

322
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:30,799
in the scheme of things, is not that much more

323
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,480
than this podcast. That's terrifying. How about Byron Allen? John,

324
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:37,080
is everybody watching Byron Allen? Look, everybody needs to calm

325
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,120
down with the Byron Allen. Byron knows the deal, CBS

326
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,799
knows the deal. Nobody thinks anyone's going to watch this.

327
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,000
All anyone is saying is that Byron Allen has figured

328
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,919
out a way to buy the time from CBS and

329
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:51,879
sell enough commercials that Byron Allen makes money on it.

330
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,519
CBS gets a guaranteed dollar amount they don't have to stress,

331
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,720
and Byron's making money on it. Whether or not you watch,

332
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:02,519
nobody cares. Five half hour averaged seven hundred and eighty

333
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:06,480
six thousand total viewers and eighty thousand adults. Eighteen to

334
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,559
forty nine. Twelve O five got five hundred twenty thousand

335
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:12,600
viewers and fifty seven thousand adults. Did John, did you

336
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:15,039
just say the number fifty seven thousand? I did, which

337
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,279
is why I tripped over it. Fifty seven thousand. Yikes,

338
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,200
that is a small number. But again, as I just said,

339
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:24,000
nobody cares, because let's think about it. Whatever Jimmy Fallon's

340
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,919
being paid is getting one point three seven million total viewers,

341
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:31,600
and then CBS not spending any money getting paid to

342
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,200
air Byron Allen's thing is getting seven hundred and eighty

343
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,960
six thousand total little viewers, which is what about half

344
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,879
little more than half. Now Fallon brings other things to

345
00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:42,080
the network and it's the Tonight Show, and you know,

346
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,080
I think there's value to having something like the Tonight

347
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Show and a Jimmy Fallon hosting it. But at some

348
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,360
point the accountants are going to look at these things

349
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,519
to be like, yes, EBS, isn't that crazy? That's twelve

350
00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:56,320
thirty five CBS is funny, you should ask. That's Byron

351
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,440
Allen's other other show that average four hundred and forty

352
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,039
thousand total viewers and fifty three thousand adults eighteen to

353
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,079
forty nine. That compares to Seth Myers, who has eight

354
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,720
hundred and ninety seven thousand total viewers and one hundred

355
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:13,160
and three adults. So again, you can we can have

356
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,839
Seth Myers and try really hard, or we cannot try

357
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,799
at all and do half the number. You gotta look

358
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:20,960
at that at some point. Speaking of Late Night, the

359
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,920
folks at Late Nighter stayed up to watch James Cordon.

360
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,599
He's hosting whatever that's called, uh show on After Soccer

361
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,559
with James Cordon. I think that's what it's called. Yeah,

362
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,119
that's you got it, John. They watched episode one. Late

363
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,720
Nighter said for a first effort, the new Cordon effort

364
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,799
had good energy and shaggy charm, which is a fair

365
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,960
characterization of its host. The show made its strongest case

366
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,079
as a loose live hang. It was laid back enough

367
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,319
that the beers consumed by the show's roundtable during the

368
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,799
hour looked more natural than affected. Cordon did no monologue.

369
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:51,200
The show was not joke centric, but some jokes seeped in.

370
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,799
Cordon played a clip from the opening game that showed

371
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:57,160
the Mexican goalkeeper caressing and kissing a soccer ball Cordon

372
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,839
joke to my wife. Hasn't helped me like that in

373
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,200
twelve years. FIFA World Cup on Fox After Hours with

374
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:05,359
James Cordon. That's the title, not what I said. What

375
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,960
did I say? It was a show on after Soccer

376
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,720
with James Corden, which might actually be a better title. Well,

377
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,839
I have to look back at this Friday night. The

378
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,359
guest was Sebastian Maniscalco after the Team USA game. Do

379
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,559
you think Sebastian came on and made a stupid face?

380
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,440
Of course he did. And that's your comedy news for today.

381
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:24,160
You know, for having nothing, this was pretty good and

382
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,799
way longer than it had any business being anyway. So

383
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:29,480
you're gonna share the show or I'm gonna keep playing

384
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:33,000
Nicki Glazer singing. You don't want that, right, Okay, you

385
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:34,960
understand we're at the point where I'm threatening you. Now

386
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,119
you're gonna share the show, Richard, You're excused. U saw

387
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,480

388
00:18:38,519 --> 00:18:38,759
Speaker 3: Thank you?

389
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 2: Richard? Everybody else share the show or I'm gonna play

390
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:47,400

391
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,880

398
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,720
we came on after a football doubleheader.

399
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL.

400
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:16,799
Speaker 2: On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of

401
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,920
Taylor Swift. I swear it was just where to go

402
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:20,720
to here
