Caloroga Shock Media. Bill Burr has forced my hand. Hello Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’m kind of talking about the riog Comedy Festival, but Bill Burr addressed it on this week’s Bill Burr podcast, and let’s hear what Bill has to say. As always, I’m clipping for f bombs and sometimes for pacing.
But here’s Bill Burr. You guys are asking me obviously a ton of questions about the absolute controverty.
All right, here’s the deal.
I would love I have no problem answering any of them. The problem I have is after I answer them, it all gets clipped.
And then once it gets clipped, then the lies start getting told, or they star…
So all I’m doing is just throwing another log on the fire and then they can make more money. No I’m sorry, well oh no, no, no, no, because they care so much. That’s right, Sorry now, because they’re just making money. Not to be fair to Bill Burr, I am indeed editing these. I considered leaving the clips alone, but he drops more than f bombs than I want to do on this podcast, and sometimes I need to pick up the pacing a little bit and not just play a ten minute clip that said, I welcome Bill burd a challenge if I’ve changed the intent of his words in any way.
But yes, I’ve edited them for language and pacing and taken out the F bombs, But the intent of his words are intact. So like these these stories of like there was no women there, he just performed to the royals. By the time they had done with this shit, they’re gonna say, I went over there and did a one on one show and a tent staring at my toes, and then I left for the head’s guy, whoever the hell it is over there? Right, once again, I performed in an arena over there in the round. There was eight thousand people at the show, okay, it was citizens, And then they had diplomats sitting down front in a nerve wracking way for the performer to make sure that, you know, you didn’t talk about the two or three things that they said that they negotiated down to not talk about.
Once again, as I said before, whoever put together the comedy festival and everything, what it did for freedom of speech over there, because like before it started, you couldn’t talk about all of this stuff, and then they whittled it down to just that. And that is how you know if you truly care about stuff like that, you gradually moved towards something more positive. Okay, Bill Burke, clearly for you, this is a freedom of speech thing and not at all about the money. In this next section, he compliments a fellow comedian who, by all context clues must be Jessica Curson. I don’t know who else this could possibly be.
From the clues, I did leave some s words in here, so if you don’t like salty language, some salty language coming up, edit out f. Words all of this sanctimonioushit out there. I’m gonna tell you something right now. I saw in thirty three years a stand up. I’ve never seen anybody with bigger balls.
And I’m not gonna say the name of the comedian, even though you’re gonna figure it out. But I’m just trying not to get anybody else. This shit coming at him went on over there openly gay. In the middle of the set, two of the diplomats got up to go to the bathroom, and this person said, Hey, where are you going? Are you gonna?
Are you going to go on grinder. I mean, I’ve seen them all. I’ve never seen anybody. It’s like, I don’t have the balls to say that. And the fact that her own people came at her and all of that, it’s just it’s disgusting, it really is.
That’s what they’re gonna clip. That’s what they’re gonna clip. Bill says. The reaction to Da Da Da is just And I’ll tell what else is amazing and really confusing to me is what we did over there wasn’t even on TV. However, what everybody’s complaining about was on TV the week before, on a different event, and nobody said anything, so, you know, and that’s the difference between being a billion dollar conglomerate and being an independent contractor.
Now, I’m not sure what he means there. Does he mean Kimmel? Is he talking about something with Israel? Does he think nobody talked about Kimmel? Is that what he means, because I can assure you it was talked about.
I checked. I personally did at least fifteen episodes with Jimmy Kimmel. I just went back through my catalog and I saw fifteen episodes in a cluster with Jimmy Kimmel. In the title. Now I concede this is not the biggest platform in the world.
All ears and eyes are not on this podcast. I get it. But I didn’t just monologue free thoughts for fifteen episodes. I was clearly sourcing other people. I had some guests on for fifteen episodes worth of shows, and that’s just me.
So somebody talked about Jimmy Kimmel, or maybe that’s not who Bill Burr meant. I’m not sure. Bill’s Instagram post about the podcast did not go so well. One person wrote, your legacy is now re Odd. That’s it.
The re Odd Comedy Festival does continue today. Some of your favorite comedians are there. Sam Morrell brings his cool, clinical delivery to the re Odd Comedy Festival. Expect brisk pacing, sharp turns, and a touch of crowd work with jokes that build and pay off fast. Tom Sagora, Yes, I said, Tom Sigora, write that down.
Tom Sagora s E g u r a one of comedy sharpest voices. Tom Sagora. He’s at the Real Comedy Festival tonight. Tonight would have been when Tim Dillon was going to perform, but he was disinvited and also appearing. It’s a big, big night at the Red Comedy Festival, Joe Coy, He’ll be at the Real Comedy Festival.
Now. Interestingly enough, this isn’t even the worst thing Joe Coy has ever done in his career. Oh no, no, no, one time he holds that the Golden Globe and dared to insult Taylor Swift with this horrible, horrible, mean joke. Let’s listen. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear it was just where to go to here? Sorry about that? Ooh brutal, No wonder Taylor Swift, who had walked through the room in the middle of the live show so that everybody saw her across the room.
No wonder, Taylor Swift sat there offended, giving Joe Cooy an icy stare and killing the mood in the room, rather than just doing a smile and be like ha ha, no, Joe Cooy, that mean, mean, mean joke. That is the worst thing you ever did in your career. Never mind the riad Comedy Festival. You made a joke about Taylor Swift. Now, somebody who knows better is Jimmy Fallon.
He had Taylor Swift on Monday Night. It was her seventh time on The Tonight Show. So Taylor knows. Jimmy Fallon’s not gonna make some mean joke about Taylor and cameras in the NFL. No, he’s not going to do that.
She did three full segments with Fallon guests often Get two. She talked about her engagement to Travis Kelcey and the song would The less said about that song the better. It is cringe with a capital see says the old man in the basement recording a podcast. But it is cringe. Casey haven’t listened to the song.
Some of the lyrics include the words wood, redwood, tree, cocky, and it’s about Travis Kelcey. You could figure it out. Jimmy Fallon his monologue said, this is the hottest ticket in town today. I was on the phone with Pope Leo and I said, I’m sorry, your holiness, there’s no more room. Boy.
That’s hilarious, even though it sucked, and Jimmy told it better. Of course, even though it’s October like everyone else, I spent the weekend looking for Easter eggs. I listen to the album so many times this weekend. I think I’m in love with Travis. Fallon asked some rapid fire questions.
These are probing, really difficult questions of Taylor Swift, the last person who texted Selena meaning Gomez, the last movie you saw, one battle after another. We’re so lucky to be alive. At the same time as Paul Thomas Anderson last fall related activity you did, I make cinnamon Rolls the other day. With a material like this, I don’t think Fallon has to worry about Trump and people or the FCC coming after him. If we’re gonna ask Taylor Swift about cinnamon rolls.
This is not exactly a biting satire here now tonight. For some reason that I can’t explain. Taylor Swift superstar, megastar, huge star. Whatever you think of the song would and the cringiness of it, there’s no avoid she’s a huge star. Tonight for some reason, she’s going on Late Night with Seth Myers to reach his what twenty three thousand viewers?
How many viewers does he have? I lost my notes it’s some number like that. Why she’s going on Seth Myers of all things, like anybody would take her and she’s doing Seth Myers the twelve thirty show. I mean, sure, the clipsical viral. Sure, I’m going to talk about it, but really that okay on the View, which you know is a show Taylor Swift could do.
Sherry Sheppard is concerned about Saturday Night Live. Sherry said, when I watched SNL this weekend, I did notice something was missing. Ego n Wotam left the show and she was their only black female cast member. So now there are no black women on SNL. So what do I say to SNL.
You all got to hurry up and you gotta find somebody. This is a break glass in case of emergency. It’s an emergency. We got to have representation on that show. She noted SNL does not have the best track record in hiring black female talent, and noted that Keenan Thompson would often have to dress in drag to do impressions of black women in pop culture.
Shepard said there was no black woman even play Whoopy Goldberg. Keenan Thompson would play Whoopy at the table when they spoofed us in two thousand and nine, Tracy Morgan played Shepard. She said they had the nerve when Tracy Morgan guests hosted Tracy Morgan played me on the dog On Show. They had Tracy Morgan in that old tired shake and go wig looking like he SAIDs Third Road Church and serves the dinner after service. He’s even still got a five o’clock shadow.
I don’t think this controversy is unwarranted in terms of having a cast that is diverse in all ways, so that you have someone who can realistically portray a character. I don’t think this is absurd at all. Shepherd said. What I don’t like hearing is we can can’t find anybody. There are lots of talented black female comics you can cast on SNL.
If you go to any comedy club or improv place, they’re out there waiting for this opportunity, getting ready for this very opportunity. Yeah, that is that is that makes a lot of sense to me. Yep. Apparently, the cast of SNL gathered at a farewell party on October third, and they met with the cast members who left the show. Devin Walker and Emil Wakeem were there as well as alumni Chloe Trost and Punky Johnson.
Trost and Johnson spoke to people about the realities of being fired from SNL. Trost said, you don’t get a cushion when you fall. Even before the show, they were the ones that were guiding light and so that’s what I looked to after and I feel like without that, I don’t know where i’d be one year out. To be honest, Punky Johnson said, you can’t leave SNL and then go do the same things you were doing before. It just puts pressure on you because everybody’s always like, yo, what’s next, So have to go do the next big thing.
I had to figure out how to understand the difference between all right, cool, he did something really great and now it’s okay for you to just go through motions and not rush and figure out what’s next for you. It’s okay for you to figure that out. It’s very hard to stand a place like that. They just throw you in the water. You better know how to swim.
They don’t give you a life jacket. Out Today, on the Comedy Exports YouTube channel, It’s reached James spilt Milk. Fred Armison has a new sound effects record, and he told NPR sound effects record is something I felt like was missing in my life if I didn’t hear any new releases of sound effect records. And I just remember in my life, you know, there would be like a Halloween record that would come out, or sound effects CDs that would come out, and it was just fun looking through all the titles and everything and then just you know, sampling some of them and it was like a feeling of whatever happened to those and then occurred to me. I was like, I’ll make one.
I think when I’ve listened to sound effect records, wherever there are audience sound effects, you know, booing, clapping, cheering, those are always the first ones I went to, mostly because I was like, wow, they really got a group together do applause and laughing. So I thought, what about expanding on that? What about somewhere that are a little more detailed, like supportive booing. He helps people play it for their friends, like hey, did you hear this? And they play a couple of tracks and they go on with their day.
But I’m hoping in like ten years, someone does reach for it in a way that I feel like, hey, I actually really need the sound of breaking glass. Lost in the Kimmel and Riot of it All was an article in The New York Times in Austin, a comedy scene that speaks to political mavericks. This was a good piece. It talks about the explosion of the Austin comedy scene in the past five years. More than a half dozen new comedy clubs of open, including The Creek in the Cave, which moved from Queens, Black Rabbit Comedy, The Vulcan Gas Company, ros Coos, and East Austin Comedy Club.
So so that Joe Rogan won down there. Roza Jeoffrey is the co owner of East Austin Comedy Club. He told The Times it’s fair to have critiques of different elements within the scene, but it’s impossible to say with a straight face that it hasn’t created something really interesting and special. Comedian Liz Splatt talked about the Rogan of it All. Last year she won the annual Funniest Person in Austin contest.
She was backstage at The Creek in the Cave and said, I’m the opposite of anything those guys, meaning the Rogan Easts are talking about, and they still support me. Heavily. That’s why I think this is such a great place Austin to practice my art. You can get the liberal people, but you can also get the people on the other side. We have a mash up of both.
Jeffrey to tell the story about being at Rogan’s place. Comic was setting up a joke about trans people and was getting clapter and he explains clapters proven collapse before you get to the punchline. He had prepared the line to try and win them over, like wait, wait, hear me out, because he was expecting pushback, but he was getting ovations. It’s like at that point, all you’re really doing is pandering. And that is your comedy news for today.
