Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. If you missed Sunday's episode, it was
Speaker 1: pretty robust and lengthy for a weekend episode, a lot
Speaker 1: of news in there. Go back and listen. I'm excited
Speaker 1: about today because I like strife. I like when everybody's
Speaker 1: fighting with everybody, and we've got a bunch of stories today.
Speaker 1: Let's start with Dana Corvey, who's pretty sure it wasn't
Speaker 1: Heidi Gardner's decision to leave Saturday Night Live. Oh that's
Speaker 1: a headline. Dana was on his Fly on the Wall
Speaker 1: podcast with David Spade and said, from what I know
Speaker 1: as of this recording, it was not her idea to leave.
Speaker 1: He gave himself a wiggle room and said he could
Speaker 1: be wrong. Spade said that would be a little shocking
Speaker 1: because she's really one of the core ones you know
Speaker 1: from that show and she does a great job. Carvey,
Speaker 1: you never know, and it's a hard thing. But I
Speaker 1: was really really surprised. Carvey then recalled speaking to Devin
Speaker 1: Walker about his three years Quoting Carvey, Devin had told
Speaker 1: me that when you don't get on the show a lot,
Speaker 1: then when you get out there and you have a moment,
Speaker 1: you're not relaxed because it's like, if you don't score here,
Speaker 1: you go back in line. So it can be emotionally
Speaker 1: violent depending on where you are in the show, or
Speaker 1: it could be a magic ride. Carvey said what got
Speaker 1: his attention the most was the breaking up of the
Speaker 1: you Please don't destroy guys, especially given the John Higgins,
Speaker 1: whose son of longtime SNL producer Steve Higgins. That John
Speaker 1: Higgins is leaving the show altogether. Carvey said, So that
Speaker 1: really surprised me, and on a human level, I was
Speaker 1: surprised that they kept some of them. Spade said, so
Speaker 1: the one guy has to say I'm gonna take this,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a cast member. It's effing awkward for sure.
Speaker 1: Devin Walker has clarified some of his comments. Remember he
Speaker 1: said it was a toxic atmosphere. He has spoken some
Speaker 1: more and said, I understand it's show business and it's cutthroat,
Speaker 1: but people of lives and people deserve to know the
Speaker 1: status of their job at a reasonable juncture. There's a
Speaker 1: measure of humanity that the show could benefit from. What
Speaker 1: ends up had happening over the summer is Oftentimes people
Speaker 1: left hanging with big life decisions, people trying to start
Speaker 1: families or buy homes, and there's no word from the
Speaker 1: show about whether they have the job. The show won't
Speaker 1: tell them all summer, and then we'll ultimately end up
Speaker 1: firing them when there's been months of them trying to
Speaker 1: work their situation out. He then clarified that was a
Speaker 1: nice situation, but I've known of situations to where that's happened.
Speaker 1: If there's one thing I hope for the future of
Speaker 1: the show, it's that a sprinkle of humanity could be
Speaker 1: added into it. Most people are told they're coming back
Speaker 1: to work in a week. He says his decision was
Speaker 1: a mutual decision and recognizes that devoting yourself to the
Speaker 1: time commitment of the show's just part of it. You're
Speaker 1: expected to get in line. But again, on the measure
Speaker 1: of transparracy and clarity around people's employment, we're human beings.
Speaker 1: We've got to put food on the table. Some of
Speaker 1: us support other people in our lives. We're not making
Speaker 1: millions of dollars on the show. It's not like we're
Speaker 1: good And definitely, once we leave, did you sell your
Speaker 1: SNL stock? Did you hear comedy stock Market on Friday,
Speaker 1: sell your SNL stock all right? D not so canceled
Speaker 1: asase I'm Sorry has spoken out. You may recall back
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, an anonymous accuser recounted a date with
Speaker 1: a Z's and Sorry that left her feeling violated. After
Speaker 1: an initial statement detailing his surprise and concern at the allegations,
Speaker 1: Aziz addressed the incident in twenty nineteen while touring the
Speaker 1: country with stand up material eventually filmed for a Netflix special.
Speaker 1: Then there was more backlash as az'sin Sorry was criticized
Speaker 1: for acknowledging the claims without offering a public apology. He
Speaker 1: has addressed it again. Why now, Because he's promoting a movie.
Speaker 1: That's why. Let's all be honest. He's bringing this up
Speaker 1: to get you to talk about his new film. He
Speaker 1: has told The Hollywood Reporter there was an apology, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't for public consumption. The poll quote, I mean,
Speaker 1: I apologize to the person personally right when it happened.
Speaker 1: Aziz denied pulling back from the spotlight after the accusation.
Speaker 1: He said it wasn't really a break per se. I
Speaker 1: did that tour and I wanted to address it in
Speaker 1: the special because people were curious about how I felt
Speaker 1: about the whole experience, so I felt like I had
Speaker 1: to talk about it in the special. As he said,
Speaker 1: I took her words to heart and respond privately after
Speaker 1: taking time to process what she had said. I continue
Speaker 1: to support the movement that is happening in our culture.
Speaker 1: It is necessary and long overdue. There's times I felt scared,
Speaker 1: There's times I felt humiliated, There's times I felt embarrassed,
Speaker 1: and ultimately I just felt terrible that this person felt
Speaker 1: this way. And after a year or so, I just
Speaker 1: hope it was a step forward. It moved things forward
Speaker 1: from me and made me think about that a lot.
Speaker 1: I hope I've become a better person. I always think
Speaker 1: about a conversation I had with one of my friends
Speaker 1: where I was like, you know what, man, that whole
Speaker 1: thing made me think about every date I've ever been on,
Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, well that's pretty incredible. It made
Speaker 1: not just me, but other people more thoughtful, and that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Now, if you're not hip to all this,
Speaker 1: by the way, if kids are listening, stop listening, stop
Speaker 1: the podcast. Okay, everybody else, just adult to now. Babe,
Speaker 1: dot net and it's still up on the internet. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it right now. This is a piece by
Speaker 1: Katie Way in twenty eighteen. The headline I went on
Speaker 1: a date with AZ's I'm sorry it turned into the
Speaker 1: worst night of my life. And then if you want
Speaker 1: to read this piece, it gets into the details of
Speaker 1: their dates, which is far, far too graphic for this show,
Speaker 1: a far too complicated situation for me to try and
Speaker 1: do here in the middle of a comedy podcast. But
Speaker 1: check out the piece from Babe dot net and then
Speaker 1: reconcile that with some of the poll quotes I just
Speaker 1: read from Disease. I'm Sorry. Good Fortune arrives in theaters
Speaker 1: October seventeenth. Caleb Hearon is getting an HBO special. Interesting
Speaker 1: to me. It'll debut on Friday, September nineteenth at nine
Speaker 1: easterns so it's not one of those Saturday ten PM deals.
Speaker 1: For some reason, Caleb Hearon gets Friday September nineteenth at
Speaker 1: nine o'clock. He did put out a trailer, It's too
Speaker 1: naughty for this show. Filmed in Chicago. Caleb Hearn, model comedian,
Speaker 1: showcases here on his ability to unpack life's most absurd
Speaker 1: contradictions with his signature charm and razor sharp wit. That's
Speaker 1: a generic description of almost every comedy special. Guys, can
Speaker 1: you work a little harder at that sentence? Anyway? The
Speaker 1: trailer is funny. I liked it. It's just a little
Speaker 1: too naughty and let's see I've got a long gut
Speaker 1: field of let's do that tomorrow. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: about the worst in the world, Jay Leno. This guy
Speaker 1: Michael Boublay told a story about Jay Leno. He said,
Speaker 1: I used to open up for Jay when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, before I ever got signed, because he's like
Speaker 1: the hardest working man, And I would say to him,
Speaker 1: can you give me some advice? Now, what do you think?
Speaker 1: Jay Leno said? Jay Leno said, Yeah, take the time
Speaker 1: to travel, go to people's backyards and play for them.
Speaker 1: You'll belong to them. You'll be tangible to them. They'll
Speaker 1: see that when you tell them you appreciate them, you
Speaker 1: really do, because you took the time to show up. Boy,
Speaker 1: that Jay Leno, he's just the worst. David Byrne, you know,
Speaker 1: the guy that was the singer in Talking Heads. He
Speaker 1: was out promoting his new album and went up telling
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon that he tried stand up comedy. Fred Armison
Speaker 1: had come by to see David Broadway show American Utopia
Speaker 1: and saw that David Byrne could get a laugh and
Speaker 1: encourage David Byrne to try stand up. Burne said, really,
Speaker 1: it's the scariest thing in the world. I don't have
Speaker 1: to tell you, Jimmy Fallon, but I have to tell
Speaker 1: these people. You don't have a band. It's just you.
Speaker 1: And if it goes badly, it goes badly. You can't
Speaker 1: turn around and say, hey, my bass player. Fed up,
Speaker 1: David Byrne said. Fred Armison asked him to make an
Speaker 1: unannounced appearance in LA and said, sure, Can I do
Speaker 1: it as a slide show? Fred said, yeah, sure, we'll
Speaker 1: set that up. Brince said, all I had to do
Speaker 1: was show the picture and kind of say what it was.
Speaker 1: I have no idea if it went well or not.
Speaker 1: And are you in the market for a lake house?
Speaker 1: You might want to buy Daniel Tosh's Lake Tahoe waterfront compound.
Speaker 1: It's for sale. It'll run you eleven point nine million dollars,
Speaker 1: but maybe you can negotiate that down a little. Who
Speaker 1: knows it has ninety three feet of Lake Tahoe shoreline,
Speaker 1: a boke shed turned cabin. It's surrounded by pine trees.
Speaker 1: The description tells us when you drive through the gate
Speaker 1: and into the estate, instantly feel like you stepped away
Speaker 1: from all the chaos, but you're so close to everything. Restaurants, hiking, trails, cycling.
Speaker 1: There are multiple homes. The property's newer ford bedroom upper home,
Speaker 1: fancy that takes in lake views and they're nice pictures
Speaker 1: I saw the listing. Steam showers are part of every bathroom,
Speaker 1: and there's also a dry sauna downstairs. A large family room,
Speaker 1: pooled table, large TV, sona surrounds it, shuffle board, a bar,
Speaker 1: and of course an industrial ice cream maker. Did I
Speaker 1: tell you I met Daniel Toosh once? Back? It's serious
Speaker 1: A million years ago, you know how, Like a lot
Speaker 1: of times, Ibody be like, Oh, Larry the cable guy,
Speaker 1: that guy's awesome, Keeg and Michael Key, that dude's awesome.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard me tell you a story about
Speaker 1: Daniel Tosh along those lines? I haven't right. You figure
Speaker 1: the rest out. Not a warm and fuzzy man, the
Speaker 1: realtor says, when not cozying up inside the residence. The
Speaker 1: family's on the lake, wakesurfing using the banana tube. We're
Speaker 1: taking the boat to Tahoe City and other restaurants on
Speaker 1: the lake. Yeah. I mean, if you're gonna buy a
Speaker 1: twelve million dollar lakehouse, you probably should get a boat.
Speaker 1: And that is your comedy news today. Maybe tomorrow I'll
Speaker 1: tell you a story about Daniel Tosh being warm and fuzzy.
Speaker 1: But you know, I might forget. You know, sometimes I
Speaker 1: forget to put a story in. See tomorrow
