Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Dusty Slay specials out on Netflix this week?
Speaker 1: Did you watch it yet? I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: I think my plan is going to be Friday night
Speaker 1: just to get in a comedy head and watch Dusty
Speaker 1: and Maren's Out on HBO tomorrow. I want to watch
Speaker 1: Eddie pepatoone after seeing a friend of the show, Jason
Speaker 1: Zenmann from The New York Times saying how good that
Speaker 1: one was? Verr does I have to catch up on?
Speaker 1: So Friday night might just be comedy night at my house.
Speaker 1: But Dusty Slay spoke about his origin story. He said,
Speaker 1: around two thousand and three, I moved it with a
Speaker 1: friend and we had some problems. So I moved out
Speaker 1: and got my own place, and I didn't have any friends.
Speaker 1: So I took an improv class, and that's how I
Speaker 1: got in the stand up. I took improv and I
Speaker 1: did improv for a long time. He didn't think about
Speaker 1: doing stand up professionally until twenty eleven. I want to
Speaker 1: stand up comedy competition. I thought maybe I could do
Speaker 1: something with this, So I started to take things a
Speaker 1: little more serious than in early twenty twelve. I quit drinking,
Speaker 1: and things became very clear to me, and I got
Speaker 1: very good at comedy. Well, I got good at comedy
Speaker 1: much faster. I wouldn't say I got very good right away,
Speaker 1: but I got much faster. Quitting drinking changed my whole
Speaker 1: life in a positive way. I never think of myself
Speaker 1: as an alcoholic, but I was most certainly a binge
Speaker 1: drinker that once I started drinking, it usually ended in
Speaker 1: some sort of disaster. Not a tragedy, but I would
Speaker 1: black out and lose my friends and things like that.
Speaker 1: So much of my jokes were all about drinking. I'd
Speaker 1: label myself an alcoholic, and I thought it was funny.
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny to drink too much and
Speaker 1: make bad decisions. But I was really living that lifestyle.
Speaker 1: So while I was making jokes about it, and I
Speaker 1: was also falling apart a lot of ways while still
Speaker 1: having fun, it just changed my life. And once I
Speaker 1: quit drinking, I no longer could make drinking jokes. NFL
Speaker 1: quarterback Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly Stafford, went on Instagram on
Speaker 1: Monday and defended Shane Gillis. Kelly Stafford shared a few
Speaker 1: clips from her Night at the SP's hosted by Shane Gillis.
Speaker 1: She captured it every few years. We decided to dress up.
Speaker 1: Glad we did because Shane Gillis made me almost pee
Speaker 1: myself multiple times. Turns out laughing is fun. More people
Speaker 1: should try it. Signed fat ugly dog wife. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've seen any pictures of Missus Stafford. I
Speaker 1: would not use the words fat, ugly or dogwife to
Speaker 1: describe her. I think she's being a little hard on herself.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about Pete Davidson a lot because
Speaker 1: he's promoting not one, but two movies. He's in the
Speaker 1: Pickup with Eddie Murphy and he's in the Home, which
Speaker 1: is a horror film. Apparently, Pete Davidson was on Hot Ones.
Speaker 1: Host Shawn Evans asked Pete which of his tattoos were
Speaker 1: the most painful to take on and off. Pete had
Speaker 1: two hundred tattoos and said before even removing them, he
Speaker 1: had already covered up one of his most embarrassing with
Speaker 1: an image from Jaws. That embarrassing tattoo. Listen to this,
Speaker 1: Pete said, I've never admitted this because it's so humiliating.
Speaker 1: When I was like twenty at a comedy club. It
Speaker 1: might have been the Knitting Factory when Hannibal Burris used
Speaker 1: to run it, and I did like a set. I
Speaker 1: was like nineteen or twenty and Dave Chappelle was in
Speaker 1: the corner and this was before he was back, so
Speaker 1: seeing him was crazy, you know, like what the f
Speaker 1: I got off the stage and it was like, I
Speaker 1: watched your whole set. It was really good, and I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, how do you keep coming up
Speaker 1: with new stuff? I'm working on new It's like difficult,
Speaker 1: and he goes jokes come and go, but swaggers forever.
Speaker 1: Bete said, guess who got that tattooed on his chest?
Speaker 1: At the ninety second Street Why in New York City?
Speaker 1: Interesting lineup tonight they are screening Mark Marin's new HBO
Speaker 1: special which is out tomorrow. And then there's a conversation
Speaker 1: between Mark Marin and Jim gaff Again that is a
Speaker 1: that's a killer show. Seven o'clock at the ninety second Street.
Speaker 1: Why there was a delay in Nate Brigatsey's show Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, twelve thousand people waited almost an hour to
Speaker 1: see Nate as over two and a half inches of
Speaker 1: rain fell in Saint Paul. What did they do to
Speaker 1: kill time? They started doing the Wave and the skull clap.
Speaker 1: The power briefly went out at the Excel Energy Center.
Speaker 1: The generators kicked in the house lights came on in
Speaker 1: the middle of a set by Aaron Weber, who is
Speaker 1: the fifth and final opener. That's a lot of openers, Nate,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? The crowd then did the Wave
Speaker 1: and the Skull for fifty minutes. Eddie Murphy announced he's
Speaker 1: going to take on the role of Inspector Clusseau in
Speaker 1: a new Ping Panther movie. Now I would think I
Speaker 1: would hate that, but then I thought about and I go,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's not bad because it's right in
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy's skill set. I hated the idea of Steve
Speaker 1: Martin playing Inspector Clusau, but I think Eddie is right
Speaker 1: for it. He shared this news with Al Roker, who
Speaker 1: reacted surprised. Roker was curious if the character would remain French.
Speaker 1: Eddie said, well, he has to be French, but he
Speaker 1: also could be Haitian. I'll tell you what, he's black.
Speaker 1: He's black for sure. I think it'd be good at
Speaker 1: doing a half assed French voice, doing the physical comedy.
Speaker 1: I think Eddie would be great in that role. Peter
Speaker 1: Sellers originated the role of Inspector James Clusseau. Is that right?
Speaker 1: I thought it was Jacques Cluseau. Yeah, it's Jacques Lussau.
Speaker 1: Where you getting James from Deadline? I love those films,
Speaker 1: The Pink Panther from sixty three, as Shot in the
Speaker 1: Dark from sixty four. Then there's the weird movie from
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight entitled Inspector Clouseau. The role is played
Speaker 1: by Alan Arkin. Peter Seller's declined to return, but he
Speaker 1: did return in nineteen seventy five for the Return of
Speaker 1: the Ping Panther, which is probably the best one. The
Speaker 1: Pink Panther strikes again in nineteen seventy six. This is
Speaker 1: when they're really rolling here. Then they made another movie,
Speaker 1: Revenge of the Ping Panther. In nineteen seventy eight, they
Speaker 1: were working on a movie that would have been titled
Speaker 1: Romance of the Ping Panther, but Peter Sellers passed away.
Speaker 1: So did they stop making Pink Panther movies? Of course not.
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty two, remember the Trail of the Ping Panther.
Speaker 1: That one used outtakes from Peter Sellers as Clouseaux in
Speaker 1: a new story that investigates the disappearance of Inspector Clouseau. Now,
Speaker 1: if you've never seen this, the first half kind of
Speaker 1: sort of feels like a Ping Panther movie, And if
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you it was outakes, you would just
Speaker 1: probably accept it. Once you know it's outtakes, you can't
Speaker 1: unsee it. As Cluseau's age kind of bounces up and
Speaker 1: down a little bit. But if he didn't know, you
Speaker 1: might get away with it. But then halfway through the movie,
Speaker 1: Clusau disappears, and then the rest of the movie is
Speaker 1: trying to find him. We stop making Ping Panther movies, No,
Speaker 1: let's make another one. Just a year later in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty three Curse of the Ping Panther, which reveals that,
Speaker 1: of course, Inspector Clusau underwent plastic surgery to change his appearance.
Speaker 1: The character makes a brief cameo spoilers he had forty years.
Speaker 1: Roger Moore plays Inspector Clusoe, billed as turk Thrust the second.
Speaker 1: This movie's about an American trying to track down Inspector Clusoe.
Speaker 1: Then they let it go for ten years, and they
Speaker 1: made Son of the Ping Panther, in which it's revealed
Speaker 1: that Cluseau had illegitimate children, and we follow Roberto Benini
Speaker 1: as Jacques Clusau junior. That didn't work. Then, for some reason,
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, someone said, you know who
Speaker 1: would be good, Steve Martin. And as Wikipedia points out,
Speaker 1: Steve Martin's Clusou is considerably older than Peter Seller's. And
Speaker 1: yet even that got a sequel two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: The Ping Panther two, and now Eddie Murphy will Starr
Speaker 1: as Inspector Cluso. Eddie's in his sixties. I'm being a
Speaker 1: bit of a hypocrite and being a little hard on
Speaker 1: Steve Martin, but I just don't think he's right for
Speaker 1: that role, and I think I do a good job.
Speaker 1: Now that the mainstream media is listening to me about
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler comedies, maybe everyone will admit to one of
Speaker 1: the great hoaxes of our time, which is, of course
Speaker 1: Bob's Burgers. Longtime listeners to this program know what the
Speaker 1: hoax is. If you are new, let me just ask
Speaker 1: you two questions really quickly, and then I'll elaborate in
Speaker 1: a minute, But the two questions I want you to
Speaker 1: ponder are have you ever seen Bob's Burgers? And of
Speaker 1: course the answer is no. Uh, but even more curiously
Speaker 1: because like, I've never seen Dalton Abby, but it clearly exists.
Speaker 1: The second question I would have for you is have
Speaker 1: you ever met anyone, anyone at all, who has seen
Speaker 1: Bob's Burgers? And the answer, strangely is no. Like I've
Speaker 1: met people that have watched Love Island even though I've
Speaker 1: never seen it, I've met people who have seen Dowt Nabby,
Speaker 1: but I've never met a single person who has watched
Speaker 1: Bob's Burgers. Well, Fox has announced Bob's Burgers will return
Speaker 1: on Sunday, September twenty eighth, alongside the season thirty seven
Speaker 1: premiere of The Simpsons. And then see here's the hoax. Okay,
Speaker 1: September twenty eighth, a Sunday night. You know what else
Speaker 1: is on that night? Packers? Cowboys? You know what kind
Speaker 1: of number a Cowboys game does? Yeah, so everyone's gonna
Speaker 1: turn over. So Fox knows what they're doing. They do
Speaker 1: air the Simpsons. The Simpsons clearly exists, but then the
Speaker 1: lineup is supposedly Universal Basic Guys. Nobody has ever watched that,
Speaker 1: and Kropopolis, nobody has ever watched that. And then after
Speaker 1: two things that maybe even if those exist, clearly people
Speaker 1: are going to tune out, And then season sixteen of
Speaker 1: Bob's Burgers. Yeah right, I know Kevin Burkhart will be like, hey,
Speaker 1: stay tuned tonight after the Chiefs game, and that's what
Speaker 1: the four to thirty game is on Fox that day
Speaker 1: after the Chiefs coming up, it's a season premiere of
Speaker 1: The Simpsons. Then stick around for an all new Universal
Speaker 1: Basic Guys, Kropopolis, and the sixty eight season premiere of
Speaker 1: Bob's Burgers. There's no way anybody's still sticking around for that.
Speaker 1: Around nine to twenty pm, we're all watching Packers Cowboys
Speaker 1: come on Fox. Briany is in on the hoax. They
Speaker 1: say Bob Burger's is hitting its three hundredth episode. Really
Speaker 1: three hundred, there's three hundred episodes of these things. No
Speaker 1: one has ever seen it, You've never met anyone's ever
Speaker 1: seen it. For the landmark three hundredth episode, Bob's Burgers
Speaker 1: will flash back to the very beginning of the Belcher's
Speaker 1: Restaurant exec got a producer and master hoaxer Lauren Bouchard said,
Speaker 1: a comicon in the present day, Bob is really sweating
Speaker 1: whether or not to raise prices, and it's killing him.
Speaker 1: It sends us on this kind of series of flashbacks
Speaker 1: to what was going on when Bob and Linda started
Speaker 1: the restaurant. We're also told there's going to be a
Speaker 1: Halloween episode, uh huh, in which Teddy takes a job
Speaker 1: in the store next door, and a Christmas episode that
Speaker 1: takes place at a Christmas village. All right. Now, on
Speaker 1: September twenty third, the hoax gets even more elaborate. They're
Speaker 1: putting out a book, the Art of Bob's Burgers. Now,
Speaker 1: I've discussed on this program in the past. The artwork
Speaker 1: clearly exists. There's clearly Bob's Burger's merch. There are clearly drawings.
Speaker 1: I've obviously seen them. They're in all these articles. But
Speaker 1: as for the show, have you ever seen it? No?
Speaker 1: Have you ever met anyone? No? There will be a
Speaker 1: book the Art of Bob's Burgers. September twenty third, Hoaks
Speaker 1: master Bichard said, this is a very important book to us.
Speaker 1: We love the artist work on the show. We love
Speaker 1: the drawings that have gone on and the millions of
Speaker 1: miles of pencil let on paper, and we wanted to celebrate.
Speaker 1: There's also going to be more Bob's Burger's merch, which
Speaker 1: is what I suspect the hoax is all about. It's
Speaker 1: a fake show. We'll sell some merch, we'll put out
Speaker 1: a book. We don't have to actually make the show.
Speaker 1: I get it totally switching gears and let me get
Speaker 1: the lilt out of my voices. This is a more
Speaker 1: serious story. At the Edinburgh Fringe, some Jewish comedians shows
Speaker 1: have been canceled quote over staff safety concerns. The Independent
Speaker 1: reports to Jewish comedians have claimed their shows have been
Speaker 1: canceled at the Fringe. Rachel Krieger was set to perform
Speaker 1: her show Ultimate Jewish Mother, Philip Simon was due to
Speaker 1: host jew O Rama. Both acts have claimed that they
Speaker 1: were told their gigs would be canceled because bar staff
Speaker 1: at the venue express fears of being quote unsafe. Organizers
Speaker 1: of the Fringe so they were working to find alternative venues.
Speaker 1: But politicians and comedians have raised concerns about the movie
Speaker 1: at a time when anti Semitism is on the rise.
Speaker 1: In the UK. Krieger told Times Radio this would have
Speaker 1: been a thirty year in a row of that specific
Speaker 1: show at that venue. When it comes to safety, they
Speaker 1: said they felt the extra safety precautions that many Jewish
Speaker 1: performers were subject to at the moment due to rising
Speaker 1: anti Semitism made them feel ironically more unsafe. I'll be
Speaker 1: talking a lot about the Fringe all through August. Two
Speaker 1: stories about British comedian Karis Nilms. I'll start with the
Speaker 1: better story from Voicemag and they did a lot of
Speaker 1: previews of the Fringe. They asked Caris about her show.
Speaker 1: She said, it's called Queer Takes for Autistic Folk, a
Speaker 1: very silly, semi improvised, super interactive, choose your own storytelling adventure.
Speaker 1: She was asked about the cost of performing and staying
Speaker 1: at Fringe. That is a topic. There's going to be
Speaker 1: a trillion articles about that over the next month. Carris said,
Speaker 1: I'm very lucky to stay with friends who live in
Speaker 1: Edinburgh so they can carry on their lives during the Fringe.
Speaker 1: It's nice to watch TV with them and catch up
Speaker 1: a little bit and pretend like the Fringe isn't happening.
Speaker 1: When I'm not performing. I'm a math teacher and my
Speaker 1: student so'll be getting their A level results in the middle.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to dash back to London to be
Speaker 1: there for it and then come straight back up. We'll see.
Speaker 1: As you're about to hear, that's a little tease. What
Speaker 1: advice would you have for an artist considering going to
Speaker 1: the fringe? Caarris said, watch a lot as much as
Speaker 1: you can, watch people you've never heard of, not just
Speaker 1: your friends, and watch it in a way that celebrates
Speaker 1: the people you're watching. There's enough space for everyone to
Speaker 1: get excited about each other's work. That is great advice.
Speaker 1: But Caris is also in the news as she could
Speaker 1: be facing up to three years in Turkish prison. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a joke from the Naked Gun reboot, but
Speaker 1: it is not. Apparently Caris left a Zara store without
Speaker 1: paying for her items. She went back as soon as
Speaker 1: she realized her mistake. She was shopping in Istanbul on
Speaker 1: July twenty second. She accidentally left the store without paying
Speaker 1: for her purchases. She went back in offered to pay.
Speaker 1: She was detained locked in a room for several hours,
Speaker 1: arrested for shoplifting, transferred to a police station. As the
Speaker 1: story goes, quote pressured to sign Turkish documents she didn't understand.
Speaker 1: She was held for twenty four hours. A judge released
Speaker 1: her but told her she couldn't leave Turkey. Currently, she's
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to afford a place to
Speaker 1: stay and how to get back to the UK. On
Speaker 1: social media, she wrote, I'm lucky I have good friends
Speaker 1: in Turkey who are currently looking after me and trying
Speaker 1: to translate the paperwork. I have no money, no earnings
Speaker 1: coming in from home, and I'm running out of important medication.
Speaker 1: I'll lose my home, which I share with my son,
Speaker 1: and livelihood. I'm not looking for sympathy. I made a
Speaker 1: mistake which I tried to immediately rectify. I'm embarrassed with
Speaker 1: my friends, my family, and I've made my mom unwell.
Speaker 1: I'll never forgive myself for what I've done. And that's
Speaker 1: your comedy news for today. If you would like to
