Caloroga Shark Media. He there, Shunny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Bert Kreischer is getting a quote unquote TV show. I don’t know why I put quote unquote. You know what a TV show is.
He’s getting a Netflix show. Probably a better way to phrase it. This one is called Free Bert. In Free Bert, Bert finds himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to an elite Beverly Hills private school. When Bert’s antics turn his family into outcast, he decides to put on a shirt and stifle his true nature to better fit in.
Is it me or is that sounding a little Kevin James? Like I told you that Tom Sigor is doing lt Gray, which feels Tom Sagora and the Machine Movie feels Bert Krescher. This feels a little CBS sitcom Bert. Here’s another log line. Krayser will play a version of himself, a shirtless comedian, party legend and perpetual wildcard.
His daughters are accepted to do an elite private school in Beverly Hills. When his antek’s turn in the family and ow Cassie decides to put a shirt on. Blah blah blah, that’s sounding a little CBS Bert. I don’t know, man, love you, I don’t know. We’ll see.
Jeff Ross explained how he got Tom Brady to do the roast. Jeff told Howard Stern I had seen Brady looking at my Instagram on Super Bowl Sunday a few years ago. I was like, why is Tom Brady on my Instagram? I had some jokes up. Maybe that’s how he on wines before a big game and then he wins.
So I hit him up the next day on Instagram, going, dude, it’s time for roast. You obviously love this stuff, he writes me back. We start talking and it turns out my agent and his agent work together, and we put a deal together to do a roast. Netflix was like sure. I’m like, let’s elevate this whole thing, bring the roast back bigger.
I said to Tom right beforehand, why are you doing this? And he goes, I love this kind of humor. People are too snowflaky right now. It took so long because he agreed that he retired and we were like, now’s our chance. Then he unretired.
Then we had to wait till he was done playing. Then he was going through a divorce, Let’s wait for that. Then Netflix was like, our festival’s next May, let’s wait for that, and let’s do it live. So he was ready on the hook when I brought up the live idea. There’s the moment in the Rose where Brady said, don’t say that stuff again after Jeff Ross made him a massage parlor joke about Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Was Brady actually angry about the joke? Jeff Ross said, I think Tom was checking me the way a lawyer objects on behalf of a client, even though they know it’s kind of bull. I just shrugged it off and kept going. Margaret Chow she’s been doing a lot of press and says she wishes Dave Chappelle would not talk about the trans community and the way that he does. He’s such an authority on comedy, people hold him in such high regard, but then when he talks about the trans community in such an uneducated, negative and destructive way, it’s really painful.
Taylor Thomlinson is doing shows in Ireland. Talked to the Ireland press about doing big arenas and said she’s used to it now, it’s definitely a different muscle and a different cadence at a different speed, but once you figure it out, I think you have a good handle on it. I like performing in all kinds of different rooms. I think my favorite is probably on the smaller end. But you just don’t get to speak to as many people that way, unfortunately, so it’s not the most effective way to tour at this point.
But I do love smaller rooms, especially when I’m writing new material. I love Ireland. I’ve been twice now, you know. Sometimes you go to certain places and you’re like, I can maybe live here, Taylor, I’m with you. I did the exact same thing when I was there.
I was there in March, and I kind of want to go back. And let me take kind of out of the sentence. I do want to go back, Taylor says, I don’t know if I feel that way about anywhere else. When I do these European runs, I’m always sad I don’t have more time in Ireland. What’s she doing now that the TV show’s over?
And obviously touring comedy, I’m working on a movie that would very much like to get made, and I’m writing a book. But beyond that, I think I’ve been very fortunate and I have an incredible career that I’m so lucky to have. Asking for more feels sort of greedy at this point. So it’s all at cherry on top as far as I’m concerned, let’s go at Costca tell the La Times, I think I have like twelve agents or something, and I’m like, is that even a thing comes with leveling up? Right?
And not to quote Spider Man, but yeah, responsibility right. She tells a story about her childhood. Her parents divorced shortly after her birth in nineteen eighty eight. She lived with her father, later moved in with her mother and grandmother. Than when her mother started having mental health struggles, Otsgo’s grandmother moved to everyone to La to be closer to the uncle.
Grandma told eight year old Otsco they were going on a two month vacation, but eight weeks turn into years and Otsco started a wonder if she had been kidnapped. She said she had a lot of questions, like did grandma kidnap me? I also learned your gut is off and right. Some podcasts for you to listen to Mark Maron with Jordan Klepper that’s been out for a week now. That is really fantastic.
I was checking that out before my daughter’s soccer game. You know, you get there, you drop your daughter off, and then like dad has to sit around for an hour before the game. So sitting in the stands, listen to that one really good. Maren pretty forceful at the opening about political stuff. I covered that last week, and I also checked out that Deadline podcast, the comedy Business one with I Guess Nate Berghezzi.
It try to be coined here. It’s not produced well. I can tell that nobody who’s ever produced a podcast is involved with that, or if they are, oh yike’s the levels aren’t right, the eq isn’t right. These are just very basic things that someone like me could fix for you in thirty seconds, not even doing a lot of work. There are AI tools that’ll fix both those things.
But it just sounded like we ought to do a podcast. Everyone has a podcast and they jumped on Zoom and they had published Deadline. You can do a little better there. They’re gonna get good guests because they’re Deadline. The host is also not up to the game as a programmer.
The note talk to me about topic is not a question, that’s just you have a list of punch things you want to get to. And that’s not a conversation. That’s you stop listening to the answer and you look at your piece of paper and said, oh, ask him about the amusement park. Talk to me about the amusement park. Not really conversational.
So from the program director’s chair, the Deadline podcast could be a little bit better content wise. You know. I came away from it thinking, let me put it this way. If you listen to my podcast in ten years and I come on and I go, remember when nateprigets he was going to do an amusement park. That was crazy?
What was he vegging? If I do that ten years from now, that sounds about right right. Just Nate is just talking about like, yeah, I’m gonna build a theme park in Nashville. Like that’s nothing, and everyone’s gonna be like, oh, we got to go to Nateland. I mean, he’s famous, But is he famous famous?
Are we booking a vacation in Nateland? Or is it we happen to be in Nashville? What should we do on Tuesday afternoon? I don’t want to go see Nateland. I don’t know.
Man. He also gets into how he’s just going to walk away from comedy touring and how no one believes him. I’m going to jump over here to the group of people who doesn’t believe him, and I’m gonna stand over there so you can listen to that thing. It’s basically the same themes that I’ve been telling about on this show. It’s the usual Nate press of where he is right now building out nate Land Enterprises.
Now that is a good thing. Someday I’m gonna come on this show and tell you Big Media Company has purchased Nateland Entertainment for four billion dollars. Like he’s really smart with that stuff. But a theme park, I don’t know, man, anyway, check those out, all right. If you’re a comedian, you gotta be hawking a beer or you’re gonna get left behind.
We’ve got Colin Jos hawking Blue Moon, Shane Gillis, of course, but Light Now, Marcelo Hernandez, he’s teamed up with Miller Light Now, Johnny Mack. It can be a beer snob, but sometimes I just like a basic light beer, and Miller Lte is my choice of light beers. I’m not doing an ad here. I just happen to really like a cold Miller Light. You can make fun of me in the school yard and then I’ll be like, all right, let’s order a Maxisin triple stout beers knob sometimes sound like a nice called Miller Light.
Anyway. Marcelo Hernandez is now part of an ad campaign. They’ve released a twenty second commercial styled after a sports draft, announcing Marcelo Hernandez as its first pick and a fictional twenty twenty five lineup. We see Marcello wearing sunglasses, sitting next to his mom. He’s excited when his name is called.
He takes the stage. He lifts up a Miller Lite jersey and a beer bottle. The chiron says he’s from Miami, Florida and height is five eight, and we see that five six has crossed out. Miller Light captioned the clip Welcome to the original Light Beer Team. Marcelo does not speak in the clip, and I imagine if he did, he would just do that one character that he does in everything he does.
Right And from the Moscow Times, your home for comedy news, this is a little scary, they write. Russia’s former space chief dmet You Ragozen threaten to send a group of young comedians to the war in Ukraine after they mocked his PhD dissertation on a TV show. The former Space Chief said he was sent a clip from a recent broadcast of the Cavyn comedy game show, where teams compete for the title of Russia’s Funniest and most inventive club. In the sketch that he’s mad at a member of the team joke that the Space Chief had written in his dissertation that one doesn’t swap the cosmos for a chick. The Space Chief went on his telegram channel and said, we’ll take them to the front line and wish them good luck and battle, and when they return, we’ll laugh together at their unfortunate, unfunny and vulgar joke.
Mister Rigozan has a PhD in engineering and focus on weapons theory. In his post, he claimed to know which military enlistment office the Cave and team members are registered with, and said it was awaiting the name of their joke writer, who he described as a talentless punk will teach them everything, including a sense of humor. The next day, he apparently had calmed down and said that the comedians are of no interest to us due to their intellectual immaturity. They may be good for silly jokes, but not for defending the motherland. That’s your company is for today.
I don’t want any part of that. I’m just telling what’s going on. Do I have to pick sides? Bragozen’s right, one hundred percent right. I’m with that dude.
See to morrow.
