00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media, Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy

2
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>news man. You can see just how much damage performing

3
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>at the Riog Comedy Festival did to people's careers. Like take,

4
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>for example, Sebastian Maniscalco. He was interviewed by Forbes down

5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>in Atlantic City at the Ocean Casino Resort. Forbes I

6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 1>met out with Sebastian at the Italian restaurant at the

7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Ocean Casino Resort with the classic name Linguini by the Sea.

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Forbes tells us they shared some Manhattans, some homemade meatballs,

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>eggplant rolatini, and chicken Marsella. And in this purbing interview,

10
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 1>they asked, hey, when you play the riod come. No,

11
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>they didn't ask him that at all. They said, hey,

12
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>was wine a regular part of dinner growing up in

13
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>an Italian family? Because this is the hacky Sebastian Maniscalgo interview,

14
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>you do, Oh yeah, you're Italian? Right, yeah, Okay, let

15
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>me ask you about food. Sebastian said, it's not like

16
00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 1>I was knocking back your glass of wine when his

17
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>ten years old, but it was here's the knife, here's

18
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the glass. I have a little sip, so it wasn't

19
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>taboo growing up. I remember my grandfather having a large

20
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>jug of wine, not Opu's Winter or anything like that.

21
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Ernest and Julio Gallo. But yeah,

22
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>food and wine were pretty much a staple growing up

23
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>these days. Sebastian says, I really enjoy red wine. My

24
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>wife and I got married in Napa. My father in

25
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 1>law introduced me to the world of wine. When I

26
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>met my wife fifteen years ago. I met. Up to

27
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that point, I was drinking wine, but I didn't really

28
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>know anything. I'm not a wine connoisseur where I could

29
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>taste anything and say, oh, that's a cinnamon whatever. It's

30
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>more of an appreciation for a nice bottle of wine

31
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to just grabbing whatever at the store. Sebastian,

32
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember your first drink? He said, Amaretto stone sour.

33
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>This was back in the early nineties. Growing up in Chicago.

34
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>The Amearetto stone sour was the drink along with doers.

35
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>My father used to drink Doers on the rocks. I

36
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>was a Scotts drinker for a little bit, all right, Sebastian,

37
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>what's your favorite cocktail now? He says, I'm recently falling

38
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>in love with the Manhattan. I dabbled with the Manhattan

39
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>about twenty years ago and then kind of forgot about it.

40
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I became strictly tequila. I I was gonna do cocktail,

41
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 1>but the Manhattan now seems to be the one. If

42
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm out at a bar, I'll just get a Maker's

43
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Mark Manhattan. They talked to me about comedy, and theysked Sebastian, Hey,

44
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>when you were performing at the Saudi Comedy festal did you? Oh? No.

45
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>They didn't ask him that at all. They asked him

46
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>if he bases his comedy in real life, and Sebastian said,

47
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of my comedy is based in nostalgia. That's

48
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 1>how it used to be, this is how it is now.

49
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I often look back at how I grew up Now,

50
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 1>being a father, I want to take those kind of

51
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>core values and traditions and implement them into my kids.

52
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying I had the perfect parents, but I

53
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>like the way they taught me manners, they taught me respect,

54
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I see the parents of today not

55
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>parenting their kids. It's a little disheartening to see how

56
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>things have changed over the years. Well, Sebastian do you

57
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>like to cook? Do you like movies about gladi eaters?

58
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Sebastian said, first and foremost, I love meat. I love steak.

59
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a astronomist by any means. No one's saying,

60
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, he came up with this beautiful, puret.

61
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Mainly I cook for my kids and try to introduce

62
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>them to food I was introduced to. I mean, I

63
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 1>was eating fish at nine and my grandfather was sucking

64
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the eyeballs out of its head. So I'm not doing that.

65
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>But if somebody eats something that I cook and they enjoyed,

66
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like telling a joke. You get enjoyment from

67
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>other people's enjoyment. Sebastian, do you enjoy travel? Do you

68
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>ever go to warm blazes in the middle of the

69
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>desert or anything like that? He said. We went to

70
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Italy this summer, took the kids. I have an eight

71
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>year old and a six year old. We went to

72
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>France first. Then we met mother and took her to

73
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the Amalfi Coast for her eightieth birthday, where she's always

74
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go. I took my dad to Sicily, where

75
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>he was born and raised about twelve years ago. He

76
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>hadn't been back since he had left for fifty years,

77
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>so we made the pilgrimage and now he's been back

78
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 1>every year since. Then. Of course, Sebastian played THERIODD Comedy Festival.

79
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Now I've been quoting George Carlin a lot that there's

80
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a big club and you ain't in it. Sebastian said,

81
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I went out to dinner with Jerry Seinfel. That was

82
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 1>a moment for me. Had seen me do comedy at

83
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. Then the

84
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 1>next night his wife came to see me and then

85
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>subsequently invited me on comedians and cars getting coffee, Then

86
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 1>we went out to dinner. I followed his career since

87
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I was a young kid, and then breaking bread with

88
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 1>him at dinner. You just don't think any of those

89
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 1>things are going to happen. Well, do you talk to

90
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Jerry about comedy or what else? When we get together,

91
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.479
<v Speaker 1>it's normally about comedy. There was one thing he did

92
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>at the restaurant I found fascinating. I've never seen it

93
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>before prior to going out with him. At the end

94
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 1>of the meal, there was no bill, there's nothing. As

95
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>we got up, I go where's the bill? He goes, huh,

96
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>just take care of later. I asked him, Jerry, what's

97
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 1>your method of taking care of a bill? He says, well,

98
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I make a reservation. I just give the credit card

99
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>events down to put a thirty percent tip on it.

100
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to see the bill. It eliminates the no,

101
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get it. It's just all done. I just

102
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 1>love getting up. Nothing's on the table and we're done.

103
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 1>It's a good pro tip from Jerry Seinfeld. Keenan Thompson

104
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>spoke to Thrillist about travel. Keenan said, we do a

105
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of flying, especially coming from Atlanta, Big Delta kids,

106
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>so I've traveled a lot. My favorite memories are usually

107
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 1>with my family. I think any time we take our

108
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 1>kids to Europe is a good journey. We're exposing our

109
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 1>kids to so much history, so many scenes, eateies, all

110
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. Those are really really fun memories.

111
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 1>For sure. He's so positive. You gotta like Keenan Thompson right.

112
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>One thing I always do when every place is eat

113
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 1>for sure, I try to get his free and open

114
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 1>to trying whatever kinds of things are possible. I've been

115
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty adventurous yeah. Boy. My kids they would get so

116
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>mad at dad growing up because I remember we were

117
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 1>in Australia and they wanted to go to McDonald's and

118
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, please, can you not go to McDonald's.

119
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Can you just eat something else? And one of my

120
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>favorite food travel stories, I remember where we were in

121
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Iceland and food in Iceland is expensive. So we found

122
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>like a pub, you know. I had a beverage and

123
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a cheeseburger and my son was kind of full and

124
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>he looks at me and he goes, do I have

125
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to finish the cheeseburger? And I looked him in the

126
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>eye and I said, do you have to finish the

127
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 1>thirty dollars cheeseburger? He finished it. I digress. Keenan says,

128
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>one thing I try to do every place is eat

129
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>For sure. I can try to be free and open

130
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>to trying whatever kind of things is possible. Have been

131
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty venturous, but there's certain places that I won't necessarily

132
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>do that insects and stuff like that. That one's tougher

133
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 1>for me. See, I want to go on amazing race

134
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 1>with probably either my son or my daughter. Now I

135
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 1>am afraid of heights, bungee jumps, all that I'm not

136
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>doing any of that. They can do that. But when

137
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>they show up with a plate of grasshoppers and they

138
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 1>want me to eat them, no problem, I'll eat it. Keenan,

139
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 1>do you pack light or overpack now? Johnny Max Pro tip,

140
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 1>pack light unless you're like on a business trip or something.

141
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Pack light. You can rerun a pair of socks, dude,

142
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you're fine and stuff them in your shoes and stuff

143
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>you're underwear in your other It saves a lot of room,

144
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and if you get cold, you buy a soup in

145
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>your sweatshirt. Keene says, I overpack every time I come back.

146
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, why I wore the same shoes the whole time? Yep.

147
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 1>I used to have this fear that my shoes are

148
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna get wet. What am I gonna do if that happens?

149
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>You buy a pair of sneakers. Keenan says, I always

150
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>leave something behind that I need, even if I prep

151
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the night before. It's always one little thing and it

152
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>irks me so much when I forget something. So yeah,

153
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I tend to overpack. They have stores unless you go

154
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 1>to Antarctica. I went to Antarctica for Antarctica three suitcases

155
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I did overpack for Antardica, because you know, it's not

156
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>like Kean run out to the wah wah. Keenan, what

157
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 1>are your must haves? He said, I need my clippers,

158
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I got a shave, I need fresh undies. Then my

159
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 1>toiletry is Bond number Nine's my favorite Colonne old Spice

160
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 1>hair brush, curl jail. How does he pass time on

161
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a plane sleeping? I sleep well. I watch a lot

162
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>of TV when I'm at home anyway, so on plane rides,

163
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I sleep window or aisle. Keenan said, I like window seats.

164
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I like being able to control the window number one. Yeah,

165
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>oh boy, These you people that close the shades. Do

166
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you not understand the views you're having? All the billions

167
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of people who lived on Earth, and here you are

168
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>flying over the United States, all these gorgeous views, especially

169
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>when you get out west, you're thirty thousand feet you

170
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>can look at all the stuff, and you guys have

171
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the shades down. What are you doing? Keenan says he's

172
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>considered it, and I grew with this. He says, there

173
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.879
<v Speaker 1>are some inconsiderate window people that will ignore the fact

174
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 1>that everybody's got their windows closed. You know, night flight

175
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>or early morning something, and I'll open theirs for the

176
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>whole flight and it keeps everybody wake. So I'm not

177
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 1>that person. You want me on the window, you do.

178
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Kathy Griffin kicks off her tour today. It's called New Face.

179
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 1>She's in Las Vegas. Her tour starts today runs through

180
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>May twenty twenty six. She tells People magazine the gloves

181
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>are off. It's an evening with Kathy Griffin. I've been

182
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>touring so long, I think if you buy a ticket

183
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 1>on my show, you can't. Actually, you don't know that.

184
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to curse like crazy. I'm going to say

185
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>inappropriate things. I'm gonna go off on celebrities and talk

186
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>about whatever's on the pop culture zeitgeist. I would say

187
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 1>that folks coming in my show they know what they're

188
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 1>in for. I could tell my audience they're very unshockable

189
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 1>because they've heard me say it all. I'll be saying

190
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>even worse things this time. She promises it'll be a

191
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 1>different act every night of the tour. I start with

192
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>local material. If I'm in Tampa, talk about what celebrities

193
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>are from Tampa. One time I had a run out

194
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of theater after my show because I thought it'd be

195
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 1>funny to read aloud the names and addresses of the

196
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 1>sex offender list in that town. Wow. She said, I

197
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>got a facelift, which people seem to be fascinating to buy.

198
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 1>And I just want to say, I don't know why,

199
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 1>but it cracks me up. I'm laughing because I've done

200
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>some political interviews that I did all this research for

201
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and then they're like, Kathy Griffin gets a facelift. So

202
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 1>I know it's part of the story, and I'm fine

203
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>with it. I thought naming it New Face New Tour

204
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>was funny enough. I got to tell you, I'm still

205
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.959
<v Speaker 1>in shock that was able to do my last tour

206
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and do seventy five cities, including Carnegie Hall in Boston,

207
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Symphony Hall. And look, I'm not going to sell it

208
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>every show. I wish I were Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock,

209
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 1>and I wish I could say I'm going to sell

210
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 1>it every show, but I'm kind of flabbergasted that these

211
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 1>offers are coming in. My answer was, are you sure

212
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 1>it means so much to me? Because prior to the

213
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump Halloween mask with ketchup on it photo, you know

214
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 1>that one? Yeah, I played the Deep South all the time.

215
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 1>To be welcome back to these markets is a pleasant surprise.

216
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel a real responsibility to just give one hundred

217
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>ten percent every time. It is Saturday night in the

218

230
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.320

<v Speaker 1>Now the festival goes for another week. But this, to

244
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>me does not have the star power that it's had

245
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 1>in the past. And I don't know why. It could

246
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>be just everybody's content to just play Netflix, because, as

247
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>John mulaney says, everybody's in La Well, let's pick away

248
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>at varieties and comics. You should and will nail list

249
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Joe Sunday, they say, is like a forest nymph plucked

250
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>out of an idyllic wood and thrown onto iguana stage.

251
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Joe says, I come out as this feminine, adorable character

252
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to disarm the audience with my charm and my wit,

253
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll surprise them with the darkness that lies within.

254
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>In one bit, Joe says, I like to walk home

255
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>alone because I like to cause drum and strife to

256
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 1>my friend group. People hear that they see how I dress,

257
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>They tell me get home safe. Well, it's not up

258
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 1>to me necessarily. When someone says get home safe, what

259
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I hear is tonight might be your last. A good

260
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>luck out there, slut. They asked Joe, what's your worst

261
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>show ever? They said, I bombed at an open mic

262
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 1>and Hannibal Burs's new comedy club. I wonder if hannibals

263
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 1>using the money he got paid by the Saldi's at

264
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the Riadd Comedy Festival to fund that new comedy club.

265
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I digress, Joe said, I wasn't planning Lieutenant night. I

266
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>passed by on the street and thought, let me show

267
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 1>these people a thing or two. I just opened for

268
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Hannibal and Boston, so I felt some swagger. During the bombing,

269
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I said, I'm not too worried about this because I

270
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 1>have other stuff. Afterwards, someone asked me what other stuff

271
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>and I had to leave. That's all funny and let's

272
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 1>get out there. That is your comedy news for today

273
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday. You have an awesome day.
