Caloroga Shark Media. Hey am Johnny Mack. This is the normal Sunday morning episode. There was a bonus Jimmy Kimmel episode around three p thirty Saturday afternoon. There will be a bonus episode around noon today on Sunday.
We’ll cover some other topics in this episode. Although Tim Dillon on his podcast did chime in about Jimmy Kimmel. But it’s not why I’m leaning off with Dylan. Stay for it. But first Dylan said it’s wrong to pretend it’s because Kimmel’s show sucked or was losing eyeballs or money, both true, as Tim Dylan clearly it was a politically motivated hit job.
Also, this morning, I was fired from the riodd At Comedy Festival because of the comments on my podcast. I had pulled the audio. But Tim, you know, he’s got an hour to kill, so he told the story very slowly, so I thought it would just be more efficient if I just tell you what he said. Now. Pay attention here because the locations can get quite confusing.
I am quoting from the Apple podcast transcript of Tim Dillon’s program that he published on Saturday, episode four sixty two. The transcript reads I was supposed to perform in Dubai. I mixed up Dubai and I said, Abu Dhabi. Apparently this is a big deal over there. This is like a real problem.
My agent called me and he goes, you said on Joe Rogan that you were performing in Abu Dhabi and you’re actually performing in Dubai. There’s cities and they have a rivalry. And I go, dude, who gives a bleep? I made a mistake. This is not a Malicia slander.
It’s a mistake. And he goes, well, they’re very angry and they sent an email that you need to be controlled. I said, well, good luck whatever. I don’t have to do it. I don’t care.
And he called me a few days later, and I thought he was gonna talk about the Kimmel thing. But he called me and said, they heard what you said about them having slaves.
And then Tim, as I read, it looks like he went into a bit.
Anyway, Tim Dillon will not be performing at the Riad Comedy Festival. We’ll get it into that tomorrow, a headline making the news. Now. I am recording this on Saturday afternoon. At this moment, I have not seen Joe Rogan way in on Jimmy Kimmel.
But what he’s making the rounds in the media is Joe Rogan saying he’s not a Republican. This is from his interview with Jordan Jensen. Now that was published. Let me just pull out my phone. Now.
That episode was published on September seventeenth at one pm Eastern Time, according to the Apple podcast app. I believe it was recorded earlier when Jordan’s special was coming out. I remember reading a story, I think, on this podcast that Jordan was going to be on The Rogan Show. So I don’t think this was recorded this week. Again, I was in the studio.
Maybe they went back to tape another segment. Maybe there’s two Jordan Jensen recordings. I don’t know, but I’m just I want to give Rogan the benefit of the doubt here that I think this was said before any of the Kimmel stuff came out. Jordan Jensen asked Joe Rogan, weren’t you like a Bernie Brow. Rogan said, I’ve only voted Republican once in my life.
The idea that you have to be a Republican to get into that club, meaning his comedy club, is so ridiculous. That club is filled with gay people, black people, straight people, white people, Asian and nobody gives an f You’re just doing comedy. Rogan mentioned he has had dinner with conservatives such as Tucker Carlson. Jordan Jensen asked if he was a Bernie bro Bernie Sanders is a notable Democrat. Rogan said, Look, the idea of socialism is wonderful if everybody had their stuff together and everybody was disciplined.
But it’s not the case, and I think that human nature unfortunately, You’re gonna need some socialism though, Right, you’re gonna need the fire department. Like this is one of the things I point to all the time people say, oh, socialism doesn’t work. The fire department is an entirely socialist idea, Like we all pay in wit and they take care of everybody’s fire. Right, you can’t have only the rich people have a fire department, then the poor people their house burns down all the time. That’s crazy, right, we all agree to that.
Rogan suggested we apply that logic to healthcare, saying, are we effing community or are we not? And if we’re a community, you have to take care of the downtrodden, and you have to do it because it’s bad for them and it’s also bad for you. We’re all in this together, so you have a social safety net. I believe in all that, but I also believe you just can’t give people free money because then they rely on it and they’ve become dependent on it, and then it takes away they’re ambition, then they don’t do anything. That’s true too, that doesn’t mean you’re not compassionate.
I don’t like either one of these parties, said Joe Rogan. I don’t think there’s a solution that’s correct. I think you have overcorrection after overcorrection. I think the country goes one way and then it swings hard the other way. Everyone is so tribal, everyone’s so locked into their idea that they’re the good guys, they’re the bad guys.
I’m gonna jump in here because it’s been a very political week. And the show is called Daily Comedy News because when I started it seven years ago, I was just doing leftover stories from my show on Live One, which is called the Weekly Comedy Thing, and I had leftover stories and I just call this Daily Comedy News because you know, like everything it evolves over time, and the universal design was you know, hey, Jerry Seinfeld’s on tour. Here’s some information. I’m trying the best I can to stay out of politics. I think if you listen hard enough to my intonations and my pauses, you might be able to possibly, perhaps maybe glean onto some of my opinions.
But I also know you don’t come here for politics, and I’m not trying to chase anyone away. I have in the past and I will continue to say. I think comedy is an effective way to comment on current events and politics. Even the Kings head core jesters, and often the jesters had somewhat free rain to make fun of the King. This point being this is a commentary show, and sometimes I do parody and sometimes I exaggerate things for bits.
I always explaining to people, let me just drop the act for a second. Does John McDermott like Adam Sandler comedies? No? Do I ramp it up as Johnny Mack for the bit? Yes, obviously, and I hope you pick up on that.
Do I put down the microphone and walk around the house all day going I can’t believe Adam Sailor made a movie called jacket, Chill Kirk. I don’t. I don’t. I’m sorry if I ruined the bit. So I am commenting on things, and I am doing parody on things, and you know, in some form of this show is about comedy.
So don’t take this as the news. I guess, much like John Stewart says, the daily shows not the news, this show isn’t the news either. I’m commenting on the news now when I’m telling you who’s playing at a comedy festival. Oh, I better remember to put that in today’s scripts. I don’t have to get the bought out again.
You know that’s clearly news. But some of these things are commentary. David Letterman had a lot to say the other day. One thing I haven’t been able to share with you the other day was his opinion on the New York Times and the Washington Post. Here’s what David Letterman had to say.
These two standards of journalism in the United States, the Post and the Times. And one could think, okay, these will stabilize. These are people who represent the truth, and if they get it wrong, they apologize and we’ll make changes.
And now one has gone.
I have family members who live in the Washington, DC area, and you’re lucky if you get the crossword and weather, you know, out of the Washington Post. And speaking of Adam Sandler from the Carolinian review you from the other day, they right, My dad and I bonded watching Sandlor films like Happy Gilmour and Mister Deed’s I’m Sorry. My mom and I love Sandler’s rom coms such as Fifty First Dates and The Wedding Singer. I’m on team Mom there because those are two of the five good Adam Sandler movies. Which are those two uncut gems Basketball Movie, Space Alien Movie.
Those are the only five good Adam Sandler movies. We all know this well established. On this program, the writer says, my family pretty much snuck in Sandlor movie lines into every conversation. I guess you could say Adam Sandler was part of the family. So you can imagine my excitement when my boyfriend surprised me with Adam Sandlor tickets.
They sat at the top of the arena. I look down at all the people dressed in their best Sandler at sire, mostly basketball shorts and a baggy shirt or an orange jersey straight out of the water. Boy, I will make it a point to say I’d never seen Sandler stand up aside from the skits and bits he did on SNL. I was walking into a whole New sailor experience I’d never witnessed before. I’m sorry, I hope this went okay for you.
The show began with a variety of stand up openers, including Rob Schneider and Kevin Nalan. Most of Sandler’s openers joked about their lives as sixty year old men with wives and kids. Although I was not the target audience for that core material, I thought many of the jokes were funny and they did not diminish my excitement for the evening. Finally, Sandler came out in black jogger pants and a worn out green sweatshirt. Sandler’s routine consisted of his complaints about getting older and conversations he would have with his wife and teenage daughters.
And you know, his teenage daughters, two of the up and coming actresses in Hollywood. They got a lot of work. You know, a lot of times they’re Sandler films, but their up and comers. No NAPO babies there, uh uh no, no, no, oh no. She writes periodically Sandlor would burst into song I’m so sorry, discussing topics such as socks being too tight and a hypothetical grandma being on ozepic live and in person, I realized that Sandler’s stand up was slightly different from the family man he plays in films.
His comedy was uniquely his turned up to eleven. In the third act, Sandler strummed his guitar, singing along with the audience I’m sorry. That’s the part I never got from, like his HBO special, I think ed at some point, I remember million years ago watching a Sandler concert and he’s doing these dumb songs and the audience is acting like at Springsteen, and I’m like, what is even happening here? My boyfriend and I raced to the car after the show. My boyfriend and I raced to the car and discuss our experience with Sandler’s performance.
I thought some songs dragged on for too long, and not much of the comment I could relate to. But I enjoyed the lively experience. Nonetheless, Hi, it’s Johnny macbot again. You can tell he’s distracted by this Kimmel stuff because he forgot to put jfl Toronto in the script two days in a row. Today at four thirty, it’s the wonderfully titled Age against the Machine, The Old Faces of Comedy.
Six o’clock, Big Jay Okerson at seven, Sarah Milkin again.
Also at seven, the ever so serious Harry Conde Bolu.
I hope I said that right, since I’m an Ai. At seven Dakota ray Hebbert and I may or may not have said her name right, but there has been good buzz on her. At eight thirty, Big Jay again. At nine, the ever so serious Horry again. Now back to human John.
But let’s not act like he doesn’t get names wrong all the time. Boy, my football better be good today. I am behind a friend of the show, Scott Beckett, who wrote me into this football pool. And I got to tell you, when you’re behind Scott Beckett the football pool, you’re having a bad day. You see how I’m doing coming into today’s games?
Well, I got Thursday night’s game wrong. Nice job not covering Buffalo Bills. Thanks some. I’m already in last place this week. How we doing overall?
Johnny Mack fifty sixth out of fifty nine, and that’s Scott Beckett. Guy’s in forty fifth. I will catch you, Scott Beckett. We have many weeks left speaking of football. See how I set that up.
Jeremy Piven spoke to Patriots Wire. You’re home for comedy news. Jeremy Piven said, I just remember Tom Brady. He’s one of those guys where you can just tell from being around him different variables as to why he was so insanely successful. He’s a guy who looks you in the eye.
He knows everybody’s name. You could tell that you want to go to battle for a guy like that. It’s a variable that made him so great. Jeremy Piven suggested Tom Brady was an inspiration if you work your butt off and you do five to eight comedy shows a week, a couple hundred shows a year, and like my mother who quoted Shakespeare when he said, the readiness is all. If you’re ready, then you can be present and have a great time.
It’s really the mixed martial arts of any arena in the way that you gotta be ready. You gotta be ready for whatever’s thrown at you. If there’s a heckler, you got to call an audible. Vivin was playing Boston and said in honor of Boston. Tom Brady, He’s now kind of opened up about what his process was, and he understood that he needed to study the defense.
So they knew it at any moment, the way a linebacker was favoring his waister, a dB or a corner, he knew them inside. Now, no one really worked harder to start. He Tendancy’s Brady wasn’t the most physical, and he wasn’t just prepared, he was ready. I think if you grind and you work your ass off, then you can have fun. Gronk was a lunatic.
He’s like the people’s champ. Like if you look up on set and you’re like, where’s Gronk? He suddenly got a hairnut on. He’s serving soup to the extras and you’re like, what in God’s name is going on with him? He’s drinking adult beverages, losing his mind, and I have to go pick up my son at the train.
So that’s the end of today’s episode. Now, last time I went to this very train station, Jimmy Kimmel lost his gig, So I’m kind of afraid to go to the train station. All kinds of horrible comedy news could happen while I leave my basement for just fifteen minutes. But if something does happen, I promise to you I will do a bonus episode, speaking of which I’ll be back in a few hours with a bonus episode a Mount Jimmy Gimmel see and then
