Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny back back in a good old USA where I realize there is something worse than an Adam Sandler comedy and it’s monkey Box. So I’m not gonna live in Montreal. That stuff’s going around. Chris Rock was at the Laugh Factory last week.
It did a set. The performance was unannounced, word spread fast. The energy in the room turned to kinetic. People on site said Chris Rock’s delivery was sharp, his timing impeccable. Rock got a standing Oh.
People kept their phones down. It wasn’t even a yonder situation. People are wondering what Chris is tuning up for. At Netflix special Oscar host Chris Rock didn’t say, but apparently he was pretty tight. That’s cool.
Bobby Lee talked about filming the film The Wrong Missy. He had a single line of dialogue, which is welcome mister and missus Morris, but delivering those words words proved challenging due to a conflict with one of the film’s producer, comedic movie expert Adam Sandler. Bobby Lee said, I’m on set feeling good. It’s outside Hawaii. Everyone that set is a friend of mine.
Action and then somebody else. Stop. It’s Sandler who never comes to set. He comes down, he goes, hey, what are you doing? And I go, oh, hey Adam, and he goes, what are you doing?
Sandler didn’t feel Bobby Lee’s performance was organic enough. I mean, Adam Sandler cares about the quality of his films. As you know. Sandlor says, do it more natural? Bobby Lee says, okay, I do it again.
Stop he comes back. Lee explain what happens when you’re doing one line is the whole time when you’re watching the scene, all you’re thinking about is the one line, and you’re running through it in your mind ten thousand times. People are paying attention to a recent episode of the Tim Dillon podcast. Tim was suggesting that somebody had shared information about the Jeffrey Epstein case. Now, Tim, you never know what’s real, what’s serious, what’s a joke.
But the media is starting to pick up up. Dylan suggested he had dinner with JD. Vance, and as the story goes, Vance told him that the Epstein video files were just commercial pornography and didn’t show any powerful people in bad situations. Dylan pushed back, asking, then, why did Pam BONDI call it evidence. Keep an eye on that developing story from Yahoo Canada.
They raved about John Marcos Siresi, who told Yahoo Canada sometimes people say, oh, he never misses, and I’m like, I don’t caption the misses. Sometimes I feel like I get lucky. I just know how to continue a conversation and come with a point of view. The discussion here is about crowd work. I try to think of asking the questions that are impolite, to ask the ones that you want to.
But it’s like, well that’s insane. I think with comedy you’re in a safe space of like I could say that why does this suck? Or how did they die? And just going to the weeds. I’ve a bit that talks about the registered sex Offender registry and turns out a lot of countries don’t have one, and if you start asking about that, you can just go from there.
I try to push myself to ask beyond the regular questions of Montreal. He said, it’s advantageous to be an American comedian. I have a joke that’s a riff about RFK Junior and does he get the same exact response as in America. No, But the fact that it can work in Barcelona is insane because I can’t tell you anything about Spain. I just found out they still have a king.
I have a lot of negative feelings start my country right now, and Canada is more than happy to hear them. He talked about his parents. He said, I think one of the benefits I have is my father doesn’t really watch my stand up and certainly doesn’t fully comprehend it if he does. My mom doesn’t mind me being mean, and none of my siblings care and my former stepfather so I’ve never been told not to say something. I do get to talk about, especially my father, in a way that anyone who has a more functional relationship will go.
I couldn’t possibly express that feeling or articulate that, and I consider that one of the elements that I have as a stand up that’s very beneficial to writing material. I’m lucky to have autonomy. Great to see him. I’ll use the phrase stepping up in class, getting more and more known. And he’s a cool guy.
I’ve we’ve been a guest on this show twice. Great to see Pete. Davidson admits he was concerned about not being a very good comedian after getting sober, he was on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon said, I was nervous about it because maybe I’m not very good, or maybe I was so high. I thought I was good. I’m weirdly sharper and more aware, so it’s more fun, Jimmy found said, enjoying it more, Pete said, yeah, when people laugh, you feel it, as opposed to just sitting there so high, sitting there.
Michael Costa weigh in on Colbert Gate from Late Night Or. Costa said, of CBS, if it’s important to you, you would keep it. You’d figure it out. Do you know how much BS, CBS, ABCNBC, Fox puts out that loses money. It all loses money every once in a while, something doesn’t.
I think they’re cow telling to Trump. I think everybody is, which is what authoritarian leaders want. They silence their critics. Costa speculated why the Daily Show hasn’t drawn he yet. He said, maybe it’s a good thing that there’s twenty five Daily show hosts because it’s really easy to point the figure out one person in Colbert.
They can’t just say. Costa said this, it’s like Colbert, Colbert, Colbert, you know we rotate the ball around. I don’t know. Maybe that’s helpful for us. Maybe the Daily Show has flown under the radar because we’re on cable, because we’re not broadcast, because when you check into a hotel and you turn the TV on, it doesn’t just turn to CBSABC or NBC.
You have to find us. Maybe the Daily Show’s in a good position because we’re on cable and cable’s dying and they could sell us to Hulu or Netflix. Why couldn’t you go to Netflix or Amazon Prime and the Daily Show’s right there. Christa Stefano talked about filling in for Jimmy Kimmel. I guess that’s two weeks ago now.
He told Yahoo. Was one of those things where in the moment, I was like I got this, and then right when the curtains open, they were like, please, welcome to your guess, so was christ Stefano. I thought I was going to pass out while the anxiety was pushing down, just rushed right to my head. His mother was in the front row. Normally I don’t like having my family in the front row because comedy is a very vulnerable thing, but I almost felt like a child again.
My mom was in the front row, and that calmed me down. When I saw her, I was like, oh, mom’s right there, You’re safe. It was a very bizarre feeling. He too, was in Montreal. I hope you don’t get the impox.
He said. The Montreal Just for Last Comedy Festival is my favorite comedy festival in the world. I just love how it takes over the city. Yeah, it felt kind of normal. Maybe a few less big stars than in the past, but in terms of taking over the city, that whole downtown area, you knew the festival was there like usual.
Chris had one of the best parts for me. Not only do I get to do my show, then you can jump on other comedian shows that maybe they live in another part of the country or world and you haven’t seen them in a while. He says. Toronto audiences feel like New York, more blue collar, will laugh at that edge. In Montreal, you definitely have to work a little harder.
They’re a little bit more like impress me, which I don’t mind that.
And then Vancouver is more like La They’re chill.
But then I really like cities like Winnipeg and Edmonton because people are just getting hammered and laughing and everything that routiness where it’s almost like, oh, Wow, there’s going to be a fistfight at my show tonight. So we still don’t know what CBS will do with eleven thirty, But at twelve thirty, Byron Allen is gearing up for its new twelve thirty time slot. His company is recording one hundred and thirty two new episodes of Comics Unleashed. That series started in two thousand and six, has only sporadically produced new episodes until twenty fourteen. The show had episodes that had been produced between two thousand and six and seven.
Then it ran between the end of the Late Late Show and the beginning of Taylor Thomlinson on CBS. They had filmed some new episodes in twenty twenty three. Comics Unleashed gets the twelve thirty slot September twenty second. Fred Armisen has a new album coming out. It’s called one hundred sound Effects.
It’ll be out September twenty sixth. The album consists of one hundred and one sound Effects, not one hundred, ranging in length from two seconds to two minutes. Track names include Needle on Record Band, sound Check, sound Guy, and band agreeing for too long? Why this good question? Ormison said, I was thinking about Haunted House sound effects albums and how fun those seem to record.
Ralph Barbosa will have a hilarious special August eighth. The trailer is out. Got the audio for you here. I think the material is pretty good, but as a trailer, I’m not sure it’s really that good. As a trailer.
Hulu really scope down his jokes, so most of the editing you’re about to hear is from Hulu, not for me, especially going from line to line. I didn’t make the cuts there at all. I did tremble a little music. But let’s listen to Ralph Barbosa into the break. What’s up everybody?
I’m almost five seven. Yeah, I’m not five seven. I wish I was. I would not be doing comedy. Why would I need to impress people.
I’d be grown, you know. But I see a five sixth dude, I’ll beat his little ass. Yeah coming hama ha. I know what I like and what I don’t like. I like girls who don’t wear way too much makeup.
And you can always tell because when y’all take it off, which is like, hey, you’re an artists and the liar. Girls are really big on traveling nowadays, but that can be tough on your pockets. That’s why I only go out with girls who are here illegally. Y’all have reached your final destination. Let’s go under the covers where they can’t find you.
I also want to say. Another thing, man, don’t ever leave my show thinking you learned something that. As I prepped the show, I saw this headline from WBOC TV. Now WBOC TV, listen to me. You gotta come down with this.
Their headline, Ocean City is welcoming legendary comedian. Okay, I’m gonna stop there, dear listener, They’re welcoming legendary comedian. Blank. Who do you think I’m about to say? Wrong?
Whatever you said, you’re wrong. The full headline Ocean City is welcoming legendary comedian Tom Poppa. Tom Papa doesn’t think Tom Papa is legendary. What are you doing? You sound insane?
Stop with that. Ocean City is welcoming hilarious comedian Tom Papa. Great Ocean City is welcoming. Really cool, dude, Tom Papa. Great Ocean City is welcoming.
Radio host and podcaster Tom Papa Great Ocean City is welcoming, really really really really funny comedian and TV host Tom Papa great legendary. Not everyone’s a legend. Stop you sound insane A follo up to a story last week, remember the comedian in Germany was facing jail time for making an assassination joke about a really famous politician. Again, I don’t want visits from guys at Susan Sunglasses, so I’ll let you figure out who the politician is. The judge said his joke was clear satire.
Judge Andrea Wilms handed down the verdict and said the posts were clearly recognizable as satire, adding she could not discern any intention to disrupt public order. She did describe the post as being in bad taste, but didn’t believe that anyone would feel incited to commit a crime after reading such obviously satirical statements. She added, in a liberal democracy like Germany, it’s desirable for people to be able to argue about good and bad opinions. I bet they don’t cancel late night shows.
Meanwhile, a comedian has canceled her show at the Fringe Festival due to bai…
Susan Riddell was going to debut her new show How Do You Sleep at Night at the Edinburgh Fringe. However, she appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court via video link and made no plea to a charge of malicious mischief aggravated by having a quote terrorist connection unquote after a van was allegedly driven into the fence of a factory on July fifteenth, She said on Instagram thanks to everybody was shared my fringe show, but unfortunately, due to bail conditions, I’m barred from Edinburgh for the foreseeable so I won’t be doing much show. If you contact the venue you can get a refund. Maybe go see the brilliant Amanda Dwyer instead. She also shared a link to a charity raising money for water tanks in Gaza.
Friend of the show, Jason Zennemann in The New York Times wrote about alt comedy this got a little lost both between Colbert Gate and the Montreal Comedy Festival. Jason wrote, if Nathan Fielder performed stand up comedy, you might look something like Brent Weinbach. It’s not only that Weinbach maintains an impenetrable deadpan, or seeks out awkward silence, or builds jokes around overly elaborate setups. Whose new special Popular Culture on YouTube also exploits the central conceit of fielders of the rehearsal, including several bits where Windbock prepares for a future event with a practice run to get ready for fatherhood. He acts out responses to discovering his daughter smoking marijuana.
Things get weird. Winebox Hour, a very funny collection of eccentric impressions, oddball advice, and flights of fancy, would once have been quickly classified as alternative comedy. Sounds like that’s pretty good, Zenneman writes, sticking with that premise, so with the new special from Eddie Peppatone. But the term alternative comedy has fallen out of fashion, in part because it’s become too vague, and yet I increasingly find myself missing it. Pepotone projects the chaotic energy of a thunderstorm.
Jason writes, Pepatone’s hour made me laugh louder than anything all year, and his cheerfully unhinged, mad as hell working class persona meets our current chaotk moment perfectly. He should be just right For those reading the news today and looking for a comedian to express their exasperation with the world, that’s some high. I will have to catch up on my comedy. I mean, I haven’t been home at all in between a road trip and Colbert Gate. Been super super busy, But I feel like this program has been pretty strong lately.
So again, I thank you for listening every day. I appreciate you, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
