Caloroga Shark Media. Man, Johnny Mack, you think you could do something a little up beat the back half of Thursday’s podcast where you talked about Jerry Lewis Film of the Day, the Clown Cried, and the Nazi stuff in there. That was a little heavy. Johnny Mack, What are you doing, hey, listener? You think you got a bad I’m recording Thursday and Friday back to back because I got some stuff going on in my life and I had a pre tape.
I just told that story in my world ninety seconds ago. I’m still feeling it. But it is hot take time. Here’s a hot take. I didn’t come up with this hot take, but I will read you a hot take.
The hot take is Joe Rogan is too powerful in the comedy world, oh know. Chris Beck wrote for Splice Today the lead off sentence the comedians he promotes or as annoying as a midnight car alarm. Oh wow, Okay, so we’re gonna come for Joe Rogan here, let’s see what Chris Beck has to say. In January, comedian Kat Williams start up the comedy world blah blah blah for some truth telling Joe got six comedians that have never been funny that he just wants to push out, said Kat Williams. Williams didn’t identify the comedians.
Chris Beck has speculated that those comedians are Brendan Schaub, Bert Krescher, Tom Sigora, Andrew Schultz, Ari Shafir, and Brian Callen. Beck writes, Brendan Shab has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience ninety one times. Still, he’s merely a filler guest who gets the call so often because he’s Rogan’s buddy, and Rogan’s loyal to his pals. However uninteresting that may be, you don’t tell him out. Mike from The Letterman Podcast and I we’ve been talking about doing something semi regular, and it’s not like, oh, I have nothing to talk about, let me just bug Mike from the Letterman Podcast.
We just really get along and like talking about stuff. The only reason we haven’t done it yet is because of scheduling. But like, I have no problem with Joe Rogan going here’s a reliable guest that I like talking to. That’s what you do, Chris Beck writes, Shab’s comedy special Gringo Poppy, filmed in Dallas. I have not seen.
It is the least funny event who happened in that town since the Kennedy assassination. Rogan won’t even let Shop appear at the Mothership. Bert Kreischer, with thirty seven Joe Rogan Experience appearances, is another member of Rogan’s goon squad, although unlike Shop, he’s had financial success as a comedian. He had an adventure show on the Travel Channel and a low rated comedy special on Showtime. When Rogan called him up and told him to quit TV because he was a storyteller he should be telling stories on stage.
Yeah, wasn’t that pretty good advice? Hey Bert Kraser, you know that story you have about the machine, it’s a good story. You should tell it. That’s great advice from Joe Rogan to made the dude’s career. And it’s a good bit and the movie was fine.
Kreischer’s signature move is to take a shirt off, exposing his obast torso he does this during his act and even while sitting on a couch on a podcast. Why it’s a look at me move from a guy who graves attention. Like all of Rogan’s squad does. Dude, do you think there’s a single stand up comedian who doesn’t crave attention? Well, that’s why they’re up there.
I will work with a lot of comedians. They’re all at least a little crazy. When Krascher appeared on Tony Hinchcliff’s popular comedy show Killed Toun, New York comic Jim Norton cracked a funny ed lib. Instead of letting Norton take all the well deserved applause for the audience, Chraysier Adopta’s shirt so we could get in on the action. Dude, come on man, all right, continuing, Tom Sagora has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience forty one times.
He was funny when he was chubby, but after he hired a personal trainer and buffed up, the laugh started to go away. Of his xs pounds. All right, So Burt Kreischer is too fat. Tom Sagora is too fit. His act is now like listening to your boring friend who won’t stop talking about the funny things his kids do.
It’s the laziest form of comedy. No, it’s not the laziest form of comedy. The laziest form of comedy is just getting up and saying something vulgar for vulgar’s sake. I used to illustrate this and teach her to my college classes, and I used to just out of nowhere go and then I punched her in the place you probably shouldn’t punch a woman. Dave Chappelle has used a similar joke.
I heard Chappelle do it after I pointed this out. Anyway, when I used to randomly say and then I punched her in and I would get laughs, and then I would point out to this class, I didn’t even tell a joke there. That’s the laziest form of comedy. And again I’m not a comedian. I’m just illustrating.
I could say something really vulgar or really outrateous and get a chuckle out of you. It doesn’t make for good comedy. Actually, the article last year, when I had an airport employee made Tom Sigora check his bag. He had a two day meltdown, beginning with his tweet dumb seaword from airlines made me geet check my bag so she can feel little power that she has in her life. I get it.
You win this round, Seaword when this repulsive prima doma like Range elicited a bunch of negative responses from his fans. Sigura duck deeper, tweeting all the pores and losers have the same response, Oh you were inconvenience, Well you should accept it. Sigor has let his money go to his head. Continuing the article, Andrew Schultz is another Rogan regular who got some fame began to buy the hype. Schltz is annoying before he opens his mouth because of the bizarre Hitler esque haircut he’s sported lately.
Okay, so now we’re going to judge people on their looks. Maybe you don’t like his stylized haircut doesn’t mean he’s not funny. It’s the equivalent of Bert Kreischer’s gross shirtless look as an attention grabbing device. I almost lipp in a triumph there again. Should I do that bit again?
Schultz once charged his fans for his latest comedy special and then put it on Netflix a month later. That happens a lot. Dude. Brian Kallen has appeared on The Joe Rowan Experience eighty six times. Callen’s not as annoying as the rest of Rogan’s boys, but he’s hardly worth mentioning.
He’s made four comedy specials but hasn’t been able to sell any to a streaming service. Or Shaffer has sixty seven Joe Rogan experience appearances. We have to behave, but when it appears, I’m killed. Tony He’s known for pulling his testicles out. He’s violent too.
Comedian Bobby Lee once invited some of his mat TV buddies to LA’s Comedy Store for a set. Shafiro’s girlfriend was there, met with one of Lee’s friends, and was soon dating him. Shafir blamed Lee and physically assaulted him on three different occasions. I’ve never heard that story. I’ve in fact checked it, but one should not physically assault anyone.
Now. I have googled here Shaffir assault Lee, and there are several youtubes, TikTok’s reddits, nothing from anything that I would consider a major news source. So I just want to throw that out there. I don’t know what’s true or not. Again, I am reading from an article in Splice Today under the headline Joe Rogan is too powerful in the comedy world.
Shaffir’s comic Cretch is trying to be edgy even though he’s fifty. Can you not be edgie at fifty? George Carlin was pretty edgy. On the day of Kobe Brian’s death, Shafir wrote on Twitter, Kobe Bryant died twenty three years too late. Today he got away with rape because of all the Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for the Lakers more than they dislike rape.
I hate the Lakers. What a great day. That caused an Internet firestorm about a bad joke, but there’s no joke there. It’s a straight troll, reasonably fair. There are some aspects to Kobe Bryant’s biography then I’m not going to litigate here, but on that particular day, that did feel a little too soon.
I remember that day anyway. Interesting article there in a Joe Rogan hot take. My take, Joe Rogan has been very good for stand up comedy. Comedy comes in many forms. You might like the Austin scene.
You might like the New York brick walls smoking cigarette guys. You might like the La All scene. It’s all good. Dean Cole’s got a new special coming to Netflix. It is called Okay Mister.
In it Dean Cole recalls the telltale signs of aging, bedroom mishaps, at dating deal breakers and more. Let’s listen to a bit of the trailer. I’m cutting a little bit early here. He’s got one more punch line after I cut. But it’s a little naughty when.
Black people cheet, like we dip off with somebody else. You know, we’d like to go to white establishments because we know ain’t no black people there to see us. I was with this girl one day. She was like, why you got me at this medieval castle? Dean Cole.
Okay, mister, filmed back in May in La. Part of the Netflix is a joke festival. Okay, mister. On Netflix September seventeenth. I’ve mentioned this before, but they’re bringing back Chris Rocks.
Everybody still Hates Chris. This time it’s animated. It will be on Comedy Central. We now have a date September twenty fifth at ten pm. I have no idea why we’re making this.
Love You Chris Rock, but I don’t think anybody really cared about the the first time. But now it’s an animated series. Okay, fine, in Everybody still hates Chris Chris Rock narrates stories inspired by his experience growing up as a skinny nerd, you know, working class family in Betstye, Brooklyn during the eighties. Terry Crews plays dad. Tim Johnson Junior plays young Chris, a nerd who wants to be cool, but he’s outshined by his younger brother, tortured by his little sister, and foiled by his cheapskate dad.
All right, let’s do some political stuff from both sides. Kamil nan Gianni says he’s been in touch with the Harris Walls campaign about getting involved with the election. Kamal says, I’m gonna make videos to get people to register to vote. I might make some appearances later. I think it’s really important everybody registered to vote and everybody does vote.
Whoever you vote for, that’s on you. But you gotta vote. Please register to vote. Camille says it’s really unbelievable how I was feeling a month and a half ago and how I’m feeling now. It’s really inspiring.
This has given me faith in humanity. I just feel lighter and happier. I’m gonna say I’m fighting to stay hopeful and not get too optimistic or confident. There’s still a lot of work to do. Tim Dillon made a lot of fun of Kamala Harris on his podcast.
Tim said, Kamala Harris is running on I’m not even kidding the word joy Joy be happy. There’s nothing to do with healthcare. She said. We’re going to stop the food from being expensive, fatty, You’re gonna be able to eat for less. That’s what Kamalo’s platform is.
She wants to put price controls on the food or platform. Right now, the only policy we know about is essentially a sign in a Vegas restaurant eat for less. That’s all she said. She’s gonna let these fatty boom patties into the grocery store. From the Moscow Times, they will have a new show about Joe Biden.
This one is called Goodbye. In Goodbye, the character Joe Biden travels to Russia incognito to find out why his sanctions aren’t working against Russians. During the visit, Joe Biden loses his passport and finds himself trapped in Russia. He’s then forced to live in a Soviet era apartment block and work as an English teacher to save money so he can buy a new passport for his return home.
Meanwhile, CIA agents whisk away retan pensioner Ivanovich, who looks just li…
Yes, it’s a body swap comedy. It won’t be out until twenty twenty five. Though that’s too late, guys. No one’s gonna care about this a year. You got to get this out next week.
Russian actor Dmitri Jusef, who’s best known for his role as Cosmos in the hit gangster series Brigata, We’ll play Joe Biden. Photos taken during the production show Dmitri dressed up in a silver gray wig and wearing pearly white genters. He was quoted in the press release of saying, I’m really curious to see what will come of our bold experiment and whether the audience will be able to recognize me and Biden and Biden and me. Nevertheless, I can guarantee it will be a kind, lifelike and funny story. And that is your comedy news for today.
This weekend will be normal episodes. I’ve got plenty of been working on it for some time. You know. I hate producers that wake up and go, oh my god, it’s labor day. Weekend, I don’t have anything.
We should take the week off. I plan so I’ve got shows for you and I’ll meet you back here tomorrow. See you there
