Speaker 1: Caalarogashark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, the presidents of the United States turned
Speaker 2: eighty years old, and Jimmy Kimmel wished the president a
Speaker 2: happy birthday. Over Instagram, Kimmell posted a birthday card that
Speaker 2: resembled a note that Trump had allegedly addressed to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2: Kimmel's card reads, Happy eightieth Donald A. Palla is a
Speaker 2: wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may every day be another
Speaker 2: wonderful secret. The President spent part of his birthday at
Speaker 2: the UFC event on the White House lawn. That's a
Speaker 2: thing that happened in the United States of America. There
Speaker 2: was a UFC event on the White House lawn. You
Speaker 2: might not have seen it because it was on paramount.
Speaker 2: Plus it was a big celebration and we had to
Speaker 2: put it on a streaming service. So if you didn't
Speaker 2: see it, you may have missed Joe Rogan's tie. Whatever
Speaker 2: you think of Joe Rogan, he's terrible at ties. This
Speaker 2: tie came about three inches high of his belly button. Unlus,
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan thought he was at UFC nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 2: I don't know why his tie was so short. Now,
Speaker 2: some celebrities were there. The Daily Beast had the headline
Speaker 2: Emmy nominated comedian exposed as Maga at Trump's UFC fight.
Speaker 2: They tell us Nate Brighetzi, who has hosted Saturday Night
Speaker 2: Life twice, had largely escaped the limelight at the Dizzying
Speaker 2: spectacle at the White House on Sunday until Cheryl Hines,
Speaker 2: the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary at Robert F.
Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior, uploaded a snap of the trio together on Instagram,
Speaker 2: with Vice President J. D. Vance in the background. That's right,
Speaker 2: there's a photo you see Nate Brighetzi, the Secretary of
Speaker 2: Health and Human Services, and wife Cheryl Hines. Nate did
Speaker 2: not share this on his own Instagram, where he has
Speaker 2: three point one million followers. He also didn't mention it
Speaker 2: on Twitter. Didn't mention it at all. Nate, did you
Speaker 2: not have fun at the UFC event on the lawn
Speaker 2: of the White House celebrating the president's eighty five birthday?
Speaker 2: Seems like something you'd promote. Shane Gillis was at the event. Now.
Speaker 2: During the event, one of the UFC fighters made a
Speaker 2: horrible comments about Michelle Obama. I'm not going to share
Speaker 2: the comment with you. Shane Gillis said he didn't like it.
Speaker 2: Let's listen to the audio of Shane. I believe this
Speaker 2: is after the event. He's being bothered by the paparazzi.
Speaker 2: And as you can hear, Shane travels with with people.
Speaker 2: Now he's got people running interference for him. So if
Speaker 2: you think Shane Gillis is just like, you know, a
Speaker 2: goofy guy in a baseball hat showing up at an event,
Speaker 2: no no, no, no no, he's got people.
Speaker 3: Listen you think, guys come on Shane Trump's job before.
Speaker 2: You what do you think of the cancel poultry? Guys
Speaker 2: got me on a couple But yeah, I didn't like that. Okay,
Speaker 2: why do you both sides of this thing? Johnny Mack? Okay,
Speaker 2: I will the worst person who ever lived. Jay Leno,
Speaker 2: he's a guest on his little television show. There the
Speaker 2: guest former President Joe Biden. That's right, Joe Biden and
Speaker 2: Joe Biden's nineteen sixty seven Corvette Stingray are on a
Speaker 2: very special edition of Jay Leno's garage. You'll find this
Speaker 2: on Jay Leno's YouTube channel. In it, we see Jay Leno,
Speaker 2: who stole the Tonight Show back from Conan O'Brien, driving
Speaker 2: around Los Angeles with the former president. Former President Biden
Speaker 2: told Deadline, Jay's been asking for years to drive my corvette,
Speaker 2: so I said, why the hell not. Jay and his
Speaker 2: team are the best, and we had a great time
Speaker 2: catching up while driving through the Angelus National Forest and
Speaker 2: the vet drove like a charm. The duo did talk
Speaker 2: about the current job holder. Biden reflected on his own
Speaker 2: tenure in the job and took a few swipes at
Speaker 2: the former host of The Apprentice, Joe. Biden said, he's
Speaker 2: cutting back on all the programs that have apprenticeships and
Speaker 2: create jobs. I see what you did there. Were told
Speaker 2: they were followed by Secret Service SUVs and police. Biden
Speaker 2: and Leno also ran fond the value of NATO natural parks,
Speaker 2: bo Biden's life and Death, being Designated Drivers, horsepower, Ronald
Speaker 2: Reagan's motorcycle, and ice cream. Yes. Former President Biden and
Speaker 2: former Tonight Show host Leno stopped by handles. Leno said,
Speaker 2: all right, so we went for ice cream. You know.
Speaker 2: We got there and a bunch of little kids waiting
Speaker 2: for ice cream, you know, And I said, anybody ever
Speaker 2: meet a president of the United States? No, well, this
Speaker 2: guy's president. I mean, it's just very funny. Yeah, eight
Speaker 2: nine year old kids, you know, so it's very funny
Speaker 2: watching him interact with the kids. They loved him. Jay
Speaker 2: Leno also had an in and out cookout truck on
Speaker 2: site at his Burbank garage to serve Joe Biden lunch
Speaker 2: during the visit. We are told Joe did pay for
Speaker 2: the kids ice creams as well as Jay Leno's ice cream.
Speaker 2: Leno said he was the old Joe, you know, every
Speaker 2: Handshakespere two hundred and fifty votes, that kind of thing,
Speaker 2: Shrere hands with everybody. Just congenial, just the nice guy.
Speaker 2: Now they got into the topic of how sharp and
Speaker 2: how old a president might be. You know, sometimes people
Speaker 2: would accuse a sitting president of falling asleep during meetings.
Speaker 2: That has happened on both sides. I remember one point,
Speaker 2: some people refer to Biden as sleepy Joe. Others are
Speaker 2: on Instagram every day catching the president blinking and saying
Speaker 2: he's falling asleep in meetings. Jay Leno said it's interesting
Speaker 2: because Joe was very very sharp. I thought maybe I'd
Speaker 2: have to talk in a slower voice, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. But no, we just talked and he was
Speaker 2: funny and just making jokes and things like that. I
Speaker 2: think a year of relaxation and taking it easy, just
Speaker 2: being a normal guy was great for him. Really, it
Speaker 2: was the old Joe again. It was great to see him.
Speaker 2: Are you watching World Cup Soccer? Well, James Corden's got
Speaker 2: that show. What's it called again? A show after Soccer
Speaker 2: with James Cordon Pretty sure that's the name of the show.
Speaker 2: And on Friday night he had on Sebastian Maniscalco. And
Speaker 2: I'm going to play a clip for you, but let
Speaker 2: me set it up. Okay, So the bit here is
Speaker 2: Sebastian is making his way from the World Cup soccer
Speaker 2: game to James Corden's studio. We see Sebastian on his phone,
Speaker 2: but then we cut away to a helicopter shot and
Speaker 2: the helicopter is tracking Sebastian Maniscalco in a car that
Speaker 2: has the proper name of the show on top of
Speaker 2: the car. Now, I watched this and I'm like, that
Speaker 2: was really and I'm gonna play it for you in
Speaker 2: a second. But then I thought, if David Letterman, especially
Speaker 2: in the eighties, did this exact bit top to bottom. Hey, Sebastian,
Speaker 2: Maniscalco is there. Let's cut to the helicopter. Sebastian, can
Speaker 2: you wave out the window, we would have thought this
Speaker 2: was the greatest thing ever. There's something about David Letterman
Speaker 2: that would have made this exact word for word, letter
Speaker 2: for letter, second for second bit really cool. But the
Speaker 2: James Corden version is kind of limb.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Sebastian. I'm good.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna make it. I don't know what
Speaker 2: this la traffic, although I think we hit a We're
Speaker 2: on an open road here, so yeah, I'm common. So
Speaker 2: save the seat for a dream some soccer we will.
Speaker 1: Hey, Sebastian, see if you can, if you can still
Speaker 1: hear me, lean out of the car window and give
Speaker 1: the helicopter a wave.
Speaker 2: Can you do that for me?
Speaker 3: Seevie, there's a helicopter above you right now.
Speaker 2: See hang gout, I'm outside. Hang on, we've got some trains.
Speaker 2: Come on his right. He's on his right. Let's say
Speaker 2: sit in sebus. Now. This next story came together pretty quickly,
Speaker 2: or I would have told you about it. The world
Speaker 2: champion New York Knicks we're scheduled to be the guests
Speaker 2: on last night's tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Fallen was
Speaker 2: seen at a couple games. Fallon said a booking fifty
Speaker 2: three years in the making. The episode was scheduled to
Speaker 2: feature head coach Mike Brown, NBA Finals MVP, Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Towns you know him as Cat, Josh Hart
Speaker 2: og Ananobi, Michael Bridges, and the entire Knicks team, including
Speaker 2: my favorite Jordan Clarkson. The plan was for Fallon's entire
Speaker 2: audience at thirty Rock to be comprised of diehard Knicks fans,
Speaker 2: so this will give us something to talk about tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Mark Marin was on Kara Swisher's podcast He's Not I'm
Speaker 2: a big fan of the Netflix thing. Now Netflix thinks
Speaker 2: that Netflix is airing podcast but they're not. Netflix is
Speaker 2: airing cheaply produced television shows, and Mark Maron had some
Speaker 2: thoughts about that. Heag'e John editing the show. I forgot
Speaker 2: to mention I made many edits to Mark Maron here
Speaker 2: for language.
Speaker 1: When I saw, you know, podcasts on the menu of
Speaker 1: Netflix I'm like, it's over, you know, you know, with
Speaker 1: the bar has been lowered to such a degree that
Speaker 1: people will sit at home and watch people on Zoom
Speaker 1: with half their face covered up by a sure sm seven.
Speaker 1: It's like, what is wrong with people?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Do they not have any friends? Do they are they
Speaker 1: not curious about anything? Do they not use their brain anymore?
Speaker 1: They can't think they got to have three idiots to
Speaker 1: entertain them. I mean, it's like a world of drive
Speaker 1: time radio.
Speaker 2: It's the worst, right, So why do you think it's popular? Huh?
Speaker 2: Why do you think it's popular?
Speaker 1: Because people are lazy and they'll adapt to anything, and
Speaker 1: they're lonely, and they want to have parasocial relationships with
Speaker 1: people they feel that they're like, which means usually amateurs.
Speaker 2: Mark Maron started to talk about the Manisphere podcasters. He said,
Speaker 2: I knew them before there was a Manisphere. I knew
Speaker 2: them as comics. I knew Rogan when he started in Boston.
Speaker 2: I've known these guys were somewhat of a weird tribe
Speaker 2: in community. So it gets a point where in politics
Speaker 2: are what they are. I'm team Left. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to make all the games right, but I'm team left
Speaker 2: going down to fight that. So, like with the THEO
Speaker 2: vonn thing, that's a joke, and it's a good joke
Speaker 2: to do. THEO interviewing Hitler's hilarious, and I got to
Speaker 2: a place where that joke wheer, I'm like, how could
Speaker 2: THEO get mad at me for this? It's funny. Cara
Speaker 2: Swisher was curious, did they get mad at him? Maren said, well,
Speaker 2: Joe said he got mad at me. I don't know,
Speaker 2: all right, guys, So I've been warning you. You think
Speaker 2: I'm messing around here. I went to share Alytics, and
Speaker 2: I know that some of you didn't share the show. Now,
Speaker 2: if you shared the show, why don't you hit thirty
Speaker 2: seconds skip like three times? But the rest of you,
Speaker 2: you're gonna be punished because it's June and we're sharing
Speaker 2: the show with a friend. We're growing the show. So
Speaker 2: unless I see double the numbers, I know that some
Speaker 2: of you haven't done it. So your phone in your
Speaker 2: hand right now, push the share button, then send it
Speaker 2: to somebody and be like, hey, there's this weird guy
Speaker 2: and he keeps starting to play Nicki Glazer music. If
Speaker 2: I don't do this, I mean the next step is
Speaker 2: I'm going to escalate. I'm going to come to your
Speaker 2: house and sit across the street in a transam with
Speaker 2: a boombox, and I'm gonna play Nicki Glazer song over
Speaker 2: and over until you share the show. So here is
Speaker 2: your daily punishment for not sharing the show on Netflix,
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Nicki Glazer singing.
Speaker 1: Ah read comment.
Speaker 2: A little strange man poison my day.
Speaker 1: It's not in common.
Speaker 2: It's garning old look in my age. Okay, none of
Speaker 2: us want that, right, you don't want that, so share
Speaker 2: the show. Also, also follow the show on Spotify and
Speaker 2: turn on notifications if you need something to watch Tonight
Speaker 2: on the eight hundred Pound Guerrilla YouTube channel, it's Emmy
Speaker 2: Blotnick's What's Her Secrets if you need something to listen to.
Speaker 2: Deadline Means Business had this pretty good interview with Ari Shafir.
Speaker 2: Ari got into his breakup with Comedy Central. Now that
Speaker 2: episode is from April. I only got to it on
Speaker 2: Monday when it was beautiful out and I went for
Speaker 2: a run, And I am now learning on the fly
Speaker 2: that I didn't actually put anything in my script for
Speaker 2: the second half of the podcast, which means we're going
Speaker 2: to talk about Vulture's review of Tony Hinchcliff's show, which
Speaker 2: I thought I was gonna bump to tomorrow but apparently
Speaker 2: not Vulture Rights. Just to get this out of the way,
Speaker 2: anyone inclined to dislike Tony Hinchcliff's new Netflix special Man
Speaker 2: of the People, on principle, is not going to change
Speaker 2: their mind based on its material. While the comedian has
Speaker 2: amassed a huge fan base owing to his popular quasi
Speaker 2: open mic podcast Killed Tony and work at Comedy Roast,
Speaker 2: he's accumulated an equally larger amount of haters because of
Speaker 2: controversial jokes he told It to Donald Trump rally in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and the Roast of Kevin Hart last month,
Speaker 2: and predictably, this new hour is full of similar button
Speaker 2: pushing provocations. To the extent that Man of the People
Speaker 2: has an organizing idea, it's that Hinchcliff has the right
Speaker 2: to be an equal opportunity offender because he is, as
Speaker 2: the specials title implies, a comedy version of the People's Champion.
Speaker 2: Mostly he dips in and out of CrowdWork to create
Speaker 2: the impression of the audience's perspective matters and that they're
Speaker 2: all enthusiastic participants in this performance. Unfortunately, this is not
Speaker 2: how his forays into the crowd play out. On four
Speaker 2: separate occasions, Hingecliff turns to an audience member of a
Speaker 2: particular demographic to reinforce a stereotype about them, and the
Speaker 2: audience member's response introduces nuance that undermines his premise. Even
Speaker 2: on a basic technical level, Hinchcliffe's crowd working directions fail
Speaker 2: to create the communal vibes after because the audience, despite
Speaker 2: playing such a prominent role in the special or not
Speaker 2: miked no I disagree with his next part. Midway through
Speaker 2: the special, Hinchcliffe calls on a Chinese member of the
Speaker 2: audience to help him reinforce a hack joke he's just
Speaker 2: told about Asian people being bad drivers. Tony asks her
Speaker 2: what kind of car she drives? The answer Honda Civic,
Speaker 2: what car she drove previously. That was a setup to
Speaker 2: imply a joke. Guy won't spoiler where we were heading.
Speaker 2: We find out it's her first how long she's had
Speaker 2: the Civic the answer since twenty seventeen, And whether she's
Speaker 2: ever been in a car accident. The answer is no.
Speaker 2: See Tony was a hope for a yes, and then
Speaker 2: he would have done a joke about Asian drivers. Vulture
Speaker 2: right stun that she's never total the car and doesn't
Speaker 2: fit into the box. His bit revolves around Hingecliff cuts
Speaker 2: his losses and says, you just stuffed up my joke
Speaker 2: and concedes it wasted two and a half minutes. That's
Speaker 2: what was funny about it. That the joke went nowhere.
Speaker 2: That's what was funny. Come on, Vulture. Vulture adds it
Speaker 2: a special so poorly executed from top to bottom, it's
Speaker 2: far from the most notable misfire. Guys, let me explain
Speaker 2: something to you. You hit play on a Tony Hingecliff
Speaker 2: thing on Netflix. What did you think you were getting? No? Seriously, seriously,
Speaker 2: I'm asking you, Vulture, what did you think was gonna happen?
Speaker 2: It's Tony Hingecliff, You hit play. What did you think
Speaker 2: was gonna happen? When you hit play on the next
Speaker 2: Sebastian Manascalco special? Do you think he's gonna like break
Speaker 2: down Israel verse Palestine in a meaningful way and hit
Speaker 2: Carlin level heights. Do you think he's going to do that?
Speaker 2: Or is he just gonna mug for the camera and
Speaker 2: do Italian restaurant jokes. What do you think Sebastian's gonna
Speaker 2: do the next time you hit play on a George
Speaker 2: Lopez special. What do you think George Lopez is gonna do?
Speaker 2: You think maybe perhaps he'll tell some jokes from a
Speaker 2: Mexican American perspective, jokes about family, maybe take some shots
Speaker 2: at some non Mexican descent Americans. You think Lopez is
Speaker 2: gonna do that? So don't be surprised when you hit
Speaker 2: play on a comedy special and you get what the
Speaker 2: person does. Maybe you don't like Tony Inchcliff, but to
Speaker 2: sit there and be stunned that this is what Tony
Speaker 2: Inchcliff does. I don't get it. That's your comedy news
Speaker 2: for today. Comments are open on Spotify. Comments are open
Speaker 2: to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group. Look Tony.
Speaker 2: Not the greatest thing I've ever watched. It's also not
Speaker 2: the worst thing I've watched this year. See you tomorrow.
