Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hi there, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I
Speaker 2: will talk about this David Letterman guy, he had Adam
Speaker 2: Sandler Runner show. We'll talk about it on the second half.
Speaker 2: I'm starting to wonder now have I been on the
Speaker 2: wrong team for the last thirty something years? Should I
Speaker 2: have been Team Jay the whole time? As Dave lost
Speaker 2: his way? We'll get into that. The true King of
Speaker 2: twelve thirty. Conan O'Brien, he's going to be on the
Speaker 2: Rest Is History podcast. That is a fantastic podcast. Have
Speaker 2: you ever listened to that one? They're doing an episode
Speaker 2: about the Beatles. Have you been watching the new version
Speaker 2: of Anthology on Disney Plus? Well, I haven't, because you know,
Speaker 2: that would be supporting fascism. But I heard some other
Speaker 2: people are watching it and they're saying it's really good
Speaker 2: in that they've upscaled the video. But of course I
Speaker 2: don't do such things. I go upstairs and I watch
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety five DVDs of Anthology. The Rest Is
Speaker 2: History is doing a two part special. Conan O'Brien said
Speaker 2: they were singer songwriters who wrote their own music and
Speaker 2: in so many ways broke the mold. Most groups at
Speaker 2: the time had a clear frontman Deanna and the Bell Mouns,
Speaker 2: for example, and there was a real pressure on them
Speaker 2: to follow that model. For a moment they were even
Speaker 2: Johnny and the Moondogs, but they always knew they were
Speaker 2: a group. Now, as I'm rewatching the nineteen ninety five
Speaker 2: anthology DVDs up until like sixty five, it really is
Speaker 2: John Lennon and the guys. And then I actually believe
Speaker 2: in the Paul is Dead theory. I think Billy Shears,
Speaker 2: who are you familiar with? This Paul is dead replaced
Speaker 2: by a look alike. Some people refer to him as
Speaker 2: Billy Shears, some refer to him as William Campbell. But
Speaker 2: whoever the replacement Paul McCartney is, that guy is a
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer because if you accept the theory is true,
Speaker 2: which of course it is William Campbell, Billy Shears has
Speaker 2: had a Hall of Fame career if you just look
Speaker 2: at the late Beatles stuff after John kind of checked out,
Speaker 2: and then all the stuff from Wings in the solo years,
Speaker 2: fake Paul McCartney has put out a body of work
Speaker 2: that the real Paul McCartney couldn't touch. I mean, it
Speaker 2: really was John Lennon and the Beatles up until basically
Speaker 2: the replacement. Think about it, Get your DVDs out, watch
Speaker 2: the original anthology. Don't support fascism and you'll see what
Speaker 2: I mean. I digress. Conan said, the Beatles single handedly
Speaker 2: brought us from black and white to color. The volume
Speaker 2: of work they have is incredible. They remain as relevant
Speaker 2: today as they were in nineteen sixty four, and I'm
Speaker 2: proud of you, guys. I thought I was going to
Speaker 2: have to get on here today and lecture everyone this
Speaker 2: Jim Gaffigan Bourbon video. It has now leveled off. It
Speaker 2: is steady at three and a half million views. That
Speaker 2: means either the algorithm has slowed it down or you
Speaker 2: guys came to your senses to stop watching this thing,
Speaker 2: and I thank you for that. I did notice it
Speaker 2: has three and a half million views, but only twenty
Speaker 2: seven thousand likes. I was curious, is that a lot
Speaker 2: of likes? It doesn't seem like a lot of likes,
Speaker 2: But I asked chat cheapt who said, short answer, yes,
Speaker 2: that's solid, not spectacular, but definitely not bad. Here's how
Speaker 2: it breaks down. According to chat cheapt. A typical YouTube
Speaker 2: like a rate is a round point five percent to
Speaker 2: two percent. Jim Gaffigan's video is at point seven seven percent.
Speaker 2: That's comfortably within the normal band. Chat says, for a
Speaker 2: video with three and a half million views, the platform
Speaker 2: average would put you somewhere between seventeen thousand, five hundred
Speaker 2: likes and seventy thousand likes. Again, the burb video as
Speaker 2: twenty seven thousand. Chat says twenty seven thousand sits in
Speaker 2: the lower middle range respectable engagement, especially if the content
Speaker 2: is something that naturally drives people to smash the light button.
Speaker 2: What it usually means is people watch the video but
Speaker 2: didn't feel a strong emotional push to interact. The reach
Speaker 2: is high views, but the engagement intent might be mild.
Speaker 2: Still totally healthy, nothing to worry about. Kevin Hart has
Speaker 2: put out his mount Rushmore of comedians. Now, any mount
Speaker 2: Rushmore of comedians is so complicated, because you know where
Speaker 2: do you start? I usually start somewhere around Lenny Bruce,
Speaker 2: George Carlin in the sixties, because how do you really
Speaker 2: compare modern stand up to what people did and say vaudeville?
Speaker 2: It doesn't work. So I will tell you who Kevin
Speaker 2: Hart picked and then you can lose your mind about
Speaker 2: it and whatever. It's just a guy saying here's four
Speaker 2: comedians I like. On that note, Billboard has put out
Speaker 2: a their list of the top stand up comedians of
Speaker 2: the twenty first century. I have not looked at it
Speaker 2: at all. I shared it in the Facebook group, which
Speaker 2: is Daily Comedy News Podcast. I want to save that
Speaker 2: because that is candidly perfect holiday weekend filler, like Christmas weekend.
Speaker 2: I believe Christmas is a Thursday. So I dropped this
Speaker 2: in for the Sunday, but I am curious about it.
Speaker 2: I might actually record that day's show right after this,
Speaker 2: just so I know who they did. And if I
Speaker 2: do that, I'll drop it early for the paid subscribers,
Speaker 2: so you know we have this whole plus thing. If
Speaker 2: you would like this show without commercial interruption any occasional
Speaker 2: early episode, what you do is you open up Apple Podcast.
Speaker 2: There's a banner there it says uninterrupted listening. You click
Speaker 2: that five bucks a month. You get this show and
Speaker 2: most everything else here on the CALLI urga Shark Network,
Speaker 2: including five Good News Stories, which I host as well.
Speaker 2: You get all that commercial free five bucks a month.
Speaker 2: Great way to support the show, and again, if I
Speaker 2: have my act together, I'll drop that second episode for
Speaker 2: the paid people shortly. I'm having some microphone problems today.
Speaker 2: I had to go into the shoe box here in
Speaker 2: the studio and find an old adapter. I have a
Speaker 2: USB C to USB A adapter so I can use
Speaker 2: the microphone on my MacBook and the one I've been using. Oh,
Speaker 2: you're kind of crapped out, but I found an old one.
Speaker 2: It seems like we're steady. I digress. You don't care
Speaker 2: about any of that. Kevin Hart his mount Rushmore of comedy.
Speaker 2: Kevin Hart said prior always is on there first, and
Speaker 2: his other three picks Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock. Again,
Speaker 2: I almost went on a diet tribe about how Eddie
Speaker 2: Murphy is just a Richard Pryor cover act, even though
Speaker 2: I love him. But I'm not taking the bait. We
Speaker 2: can debate this all day, so sure, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy,
Speaker 2: Dave Schapelle, Chris Rock, why not build a mountain put
Speaker 2: their face up on it. I don't care. Hart explained,
Speaker 2: Chris Rock is someone who became a multi hyphen it
Speaker 2: in the business of entertainment but still stayed true to
Speaker 2: the craft. Dave Chappelle is just the voice of comedy today.
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy showed what a star looked like, and he
Speaker 2: did not elaborate, Nor does anyone need to on the
Speaker 2: greatness of Richard Pryor. On most lists of Richard Pryor
Speaker 2: and George Carlin to finish one or two, depending on
Speaker 2: who made the list. There was a time when Louis
Speaker 2: c k was being compared to George Carlin as the
Speaker 2: modern day George Carlin. You don't hear that so much anymore.
Speaker 2: Louis who is you know? So canceled and he did
Speaker 2: the naughty stuff and then he went to Riodd and
Speaker 2: everyone's just mad at him. Well, he's on the New
Speaker 2: York Times Bestseller's list for hardcover fiction titles. Who's buying
Speaker 2: this book? Someone is ck went on Instagram and wrote, Hello,
Speaker 2: I want to share the happy news that my debut novel,
Speaker 2: Ingram is at the New York Times bestseller List, number fourteen.
Speaker 2: It's been a very rich experience having it out in
Speaker 2: the world and hearing how much people like it. You
Speaker 2: can order Ingram hardcover ebook or audiobook at the link
Speaker 2: in my bio. Now I'm curious. Let's see what else
Speaker 2: is on the list. What am I looking for here?
Speaker 2: New York Times Bestseller List. But it's a subdivision, right,
Speaker 2: bestseller hardcover fiction titles. All right, New York Times Bestseller
Speaker 2: Hardcover Fiction. Here is the list. Oh look, as I
Speaker 2: record this a little after three on Tuesday, no longer
Speaker 2: on the list. Oh no, no, no, I'm looking at
Speaker 2: They have the top fifteen here, and I'm not seeing
Speaker 2: Louis ck On here. So I guess it was a
Speaker 2: little little bit of a shooting star there. And for
Speaker 2: the second time today, sanity is resuming here in the
Speaker 2: world of comedy watching gaff again, you stop buying Louis
Speaker 2: c k books. Next thing, you'll come around on Adam
Speaker 2: Sandler being a great dramatic actor and a terrible comedian.
Speaker 2: You'll come around. I'm having a good day here. This
Speaker 2: is much better than the week's been going up until now.
Speaker 2: If you're curious. Louis said he's going to be at
Speaker 2: the Barnes and Ople bookstore at the Grove in Los
Speaker 2: Angeles for a book signing on December sixth. Dustin Nickerson
Speaker 2: was quite happy that the Carolina Panthers beat the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Rams. That's right, Panthers thirty one, Rams twenty eight.
Speaker 2: But you see, Dustin Nickerson is a fan of the Seahawks. Now,
Speaker 2: all these teams are in the forty nine ers way, Well,
Speaker 2: not the Panthers, but Nickerson, the Seahawks fan posted Dear
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers, thank you sincerely, Seahawks fans. Jim gaff again
Speaker 2: stuck at three and a half million views. He was
Speaker 2: on Jimmy Kimmel's show and said he doesn't think of
Speaker 2: himself as dumb. I do dumb things. Let me talk hypothetically.
Speaker 2: Here's how dumb men are. I'm gonna think of a
Speaker 2: hypothetical man. Let's say a football coach. Let's say an
Speaker 2: NFL coach. Let's say this football coach has won five
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. This is quite funny. Let's say he had
Speaker 2: this legacy, and let's say this brilliant mastermind had his
Speaker 2: legacy destroyed by a twenty four year old social media manager.
Speaker 2: Kimmel cuts in, he goes, this is all hypothetical. Old
Speaker 2: Gaffigan says, yeah, hypothetically speaking, Now, maybe they're in love.
Speaker 2: He's seventy three, she's twenty four. I know some people
Speaker 2: have an issue with that, and those people are called women.
Speaker 2: But you know, guys, hear that agent like, you know, hey,
Speaker 2: love is love, right. My point is she's not evil,
Speaker 2: he's dumb. And now my dogs are working. Guys, I
Speaker 2: just fixed the microphone. I'm just trying to get the
Speaker 2: show today. Maria Bamford caught up with New yot ned.
Speaker 2: She was talking about Late Night and said, in nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety nine, and I think I was on Conan, I
Speaker 2: didn't feel good at all. I felt so scared. I
Speaker 2: was surprised by that because I thought, isn't this supposed
Speaker 2: to feel great when your dreams come true? But I
Speaker 2: felt very bad and super scared. It wasn't fine. It
Speaker 2: was three and a half or four minutes of time.
Speaker 2: I didn't grow up with entertainment my family, so I
Speaker 2: think I associated this weird magic with it, like, oh,
Speaker 2: if it's on TV, then it's a bigger deal in
Speaker 2: real life. And it turns out real life is almost
Speaker 2: exactly like TV. Nw YO asked her about Colbert Gate
Speaker 2: and Kimmelgate. Bamford said, well, the sad thing is people
Speaker 2: don't notice the lack of free speech until it starts
Speaker 2: affecting white males. It seems like our country is just
Speaker 2: not itself anymore because there's fear of retribution. I mean,
Speaker 2: people get death threats now for saying what they believe.
Speaker 2: I've had that myself. I did this goofy thing where
Speaker 2: I fought a restraining order against Trump so he couldn't
Speaker 2: come within one hundred feet of my house. I put
Speaker 2: that on social media because I thought it was funny,
Speaker 2: and he is an unregistered sex offender, so there's no
Speaker 2: reason to be afraid of him. But then as soon
Speaker 2: as I boasted that, I had death threats and people
Speaker 2: saying I know where you live. That's just so sad.
Speaker 2: So I think it's gotten where you go. Oh, even
Speaker 2: the privilege to being effective. And she laughed and said, which,
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody who's black, brown, or as any
Speaker 2: other minority experience, is going to be surprised by how
Speaker 2: quickly your freedoms are taken away. Let's head on over
Speaker 2: to gossip corner. Amy Schumer does like us to talk
Speaker 2: about her, so we shall. You got it. Amy. Amy
Speaker 2: went on Instagram to update everybody about the rumors of
Speaker 2: you know, as she's splitting up with her husband Chris.
Speaker 2: She wrote, fingers crossed, we make it through. Whatever ends
Speaker 2: up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do
Speaker 2: with weight loss or autism. Fingers crossed, we make it through.
Speaker 2: He's the best. Schumer jumped in on the comments and
Speaker 2: rode sorry for whatever a feeling it's giving you that
Speaker 2: I've lost weight of hat plastic surgery over the years.
Speaker 2: In a easmonjurro sorry to anyone that let's down. I'm
Speaker 2: pain free.
Speaker 1: Sixteen Comedians, one Island, and in the end, only one
Speaker 1: thing matters, your vote. Alliances will form, bits will evolve,
Speaker 1: Johnny Mack will beat recurring jokes to their breaking point.
Speaker 1: Sixteen Comedians, one recurring bit one Survivor this January on
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News, outbit Outlaugh Outlast, This is Comedy Survivor.
Speaker 2: That's right. Jump in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
Speaker 2: Podcast Group and give me your nominees for who should
Speaker 2: be on the island. As we do this in January,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna close the nomination sometime. Let's call it a
Speaker 2: midnight as Thursday turns into Friday, so I can record
Speaker 2: Monday's episode and tell you who will be on the Island.
Speaker 2: I welcome your nominations. Mike chimed in. He argued for
Speaker 2: Pete Davidson and says because his name always comes up,
Speaker 2: that's true. Also a good nomination from Mike for Kevin Hart,
Speaker 2: Mike points out because if there ever was a comedy survivor,
Speaker 2: Kevin won't be too busy for it. That's right. He
Speaker 2: likes to work. He also suggested Colin jokes because the
Speaker 2: furry thing isn't going away interesting. Plus we could make
Speaker 2: vote jokes. Mary Hinda gets the joke and wrote where
Speaker 2: Seth Myers that it wrote back? Is that a nomination?
Speaker 2: So I think she understands the whole thing out Today,
Speaker 2: Tom Allen's Absolutely Live is on the eight hundred Pound
Speaker 2: Gorilla site and let's get to the meet of things.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to put a big roadblock at the
Speaker 2: top of the show. I think pretty much everyone is
Speaker 2: now on board realizing that Adam Sandler is one of
Speaker 2: the great dramatic actors of our time. In this movie
Speaker 2: Ja Kelly, which is on Netflix Friday night, I'm actually disappointed.
Speaker 2: I have a wedding Friday night, so I can't watch
Speaker 2: Adam Sandler's movie Friday night. Hopefully Saturday night I'll get
Speaker 2: to it. But this weekend is December seventh, as you know,
Speaker 2: is the anniversary of Star Trek the motion picture, which
Speaker 2: I watch every single year on or about December seventh,
Speaker 2: So I don't know what I'm gonna get to Despite
Speaker 2: the greatness of Adam Sandler, but I think we all
Speaker 2: agree Adam Sandler one of the great dramatic actors of
Speaker 2: our time, one of the worst comedians who ever was.
Speaker 2: And this brings me to David Letterman. So David Letterman
Speaker 2: is already on the wrong side of making twelve thirty
Speaker 2: great again. So I think we just have to just
Speaker 2: look at Dave and realize he got old and has
Speaker 2: lost his way, and now he's out interviewing Adam Sandler
Speaker 2: about comedy rather than acting, And what are you doing, Dave?
Speaker 2: I mean, Dave has lost his way. So this reminds me.
Speaker 2: I'm a Jimmy Buffett fan, And at one point there
Speaker 2: was a group that called themselves the Church of Buffett Orthodox.
Speaker 2: They began to distance themselves from Jimmy Buffett because Jimmy
Speaker 2: Buffett was about Margeritaville restaurants and selling product and knockoff
Speaker 2: Corona Beers, and everything was just sell, sell, sell, sell, sell,
Speaker 2: and they thought that Jimmy Buffett the Man had gotten
Speaker 2: away from Jimmy Buffett the message, which was I'm just
Speaker 2: sitting in the sand having a good time. And they
Speaker 2: like the monetization of everything. So they started the Church
Speaker 2: of Buffett Orthodox. And now I'm wondering if we have
Speaker 2: to start the Church of Letterman Orthodox. Those of us,
Speaker 2: the true believers who understand that twelve thirty David Letterman
Speaker 2: was great, eleven thirty David Letterman was okay. And now
Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening. He does not want to
Speaker 2: make twelve thirty great again. Supporting Seth Myers and now
Speaker 2: interviewing Adam Sandler about comedy. Now I didn't watch this yet.
Speaker 2: The real thing that happened is I was sitting in
Speaker 2: the comfy chair and I fell asleep, and I woke
Speaker 2: up and it was one thirty in the morning, So
Speaker 2: I haven't actually watched My Next Guest needs no Introduction
Speaker 2: or whatever that show's called on the Netflix. Decider saw
Speaker 2: it and they gave it a review and said, the
Speaker 2: interview itself starts chronologically enough. We find out about Adam
Speaker 2: Sandler's time at NYU, where people told them he was funny.
Speaker 2: Sandler appearing in an early episode of The Cosby Show
Speaker 2: with that Bill Cosby guy, Yeah, what's that about him?
Speaker 2: Should we look into this? Sandler played Theo's friend Smitty,
Speaker 2: and then, of course, then Lorne Michael's. In one of
Speaker 2: the really bad decisions in Lorne Michael's Great career, he
Speaker 2: puts Adam Sandler on SNL. Now, finally there's a chunk
Speaker 2: where Letterman wakes the hell up and focuses on Sandler's
Speaker 2: dramatic turns and punch, drunk love and uncut gems. Hopefully
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it yet. Letterman asks him about the
Speaker 2: Basketball movie. In the Space Movie, Decider tells us the
Speaker 2: structure of the episode isn't linear in the conversation sometimes overlap,
Speaker 2: with Sandler repeating stories in slightly different ways more awkward,
Speaker 2: though Letterman veering off course multiple times in their conversation.
Speaker 2: A spotlight work Sandler has done for Netflix this year,
Speaker 2: including Happy Gilmore IWO, ugh Awful. The folks over at
Speaker 2: Parade Magazine watched it and they focused on a story
Speaker 2: Sandler told about his grandmother. There's a big story in
Speaker 2: my house. I was in Florida visiting, and I took
Speaker 2: a shower in the morning and I did my day,
Speaker 2: and that night I was taking another shower and my
Speaker 2: grandmother said, you take a lot of showers, and I
Speaker 2: said yeah, and she said, I think you're entertaining yourself
Speaker 2: up there. Sandler says he did not use that anecdote
Speaker 2: in his very first stand upset, but also says I
Speaker 2: was devastatingly bad and nobody laughed. I mean, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: not hard to believe at all. We've also learned, and
Speaker 2: Sandler says, I say so many things about my wife
Speaker 2: and kids that aren't true. I make stuff up and
Speaker 2: make a goofy. At the end of the show, I
Speaker 2: like to remind my audience that none of it is true.
Speaker 2: And I love my wife. I think during the show
Speaker 2: when I'm saying things about her, she must go. Let's
Speaker 2: move on. And we also learned from Sandler's appearance on
Speaker 2: the Drew Barrymore Show that wife Jackie and Drew Barrymore,
Speaker 2: who is the co star in some of the very
Speaker 2: few watchable Adam Sandler movies, they're trying to get Adam
Speaker 2: Who's weight, Which is funny because I'm actually dieting this week,
Speaker 2: and I'm not doing a bit down four pounds already.
Speaker 2: Why are you dining John? Because John found out oh
Speaker 2: my physicals at the end of this week, and as
Speaker 2: I've been joking to my family, I have to lose
Speaker 2: twenty five pounds in five days. Hey, I lost four.
Speaker 2: Drew Barrymore asked the great actor Adam Sandler. I heard
Speaker 2: that Jennifer Aniston is part of Jackie, Sonny and Sadie's
Speaker 2: crusade for you to eat healthy. What is this? I've
Speaker 2: seen your pantry. It's pretty healthy. Sandler joked. His wife
Speaker 2: bought grocery, so every milk has some sort of nut involved,
Speaker 2: and he switched to Healthy Cereal. Jake Kelly, a dramatic
Speaker 2: role by Adam Sandler, out on Netflix on Friday. David Letterman,
Speaker 2: Get it together, pal, and that is your comedy news
Speaker 2: for today. See tomorrow.
