Speaker 1: Kaloroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm shutting back with your daily comedy news. This
Speaker 2: weekend is the sixty eighth annual Daytona five hundred, and
Speaker 2: who's going to be there. It's Bert Kreischer. He's headlining
Speaker 2: the inaugural Full Throttle Festival Good Name, a night of comedy,
Speaker 2: music and barbecue the pre race bash at the Ocean
Speaker 2: Center Convention Center in Daytona Beach. Leonard Skinnard will be
Speaker 2: playing and Bert Kreischer will do a performance that's exciting.
Speaker 2: Bert Kreischer said, Race weekend in Daytona is the super
Speaker 2: Bowl of speed, and for me that means going absolutely massive.
Speaker 2: So I figured, why not build the biggest, wildest, greatest
Speaker 2: pre race party ever. We're not just having a party.
Speaker 2: We're bringing a rock show, a country show, a comedy show,
Speaker 2: and the kind of barbecue and beer that would make
Speaker 2: a pit crew chief proud. We're stuffing all that, the fun,
Speaker 2: the laughs, the meat sweats inside the Ocean Center of
Speaker 2: the night before the Daytona five hundred. It's my ultimate
Speaker 2: dream at NASCAR Tilgate come to life, and I cannot
Speaker 2: wait to see Daytona go full throttle with us. There
Speaker 2: will also be an expansive craft beer program and signature
Speaker 2: cocktails for those at twenty one and older. Bert Kreischer
Speaker 2: told OutKick, I'm so ready for the festival. I live
Speaker 2: my life by rewards, like I inventize things, and this
Speaker 2: is my treat. I've been on the road for twenty
Speaker 2: five days straight, and I end my tour and I
Speaker 2: see my wife in Daytona. I cannot wait. Bert talked
Speaker 2: about attending at DAYTONI said, Tom Sigor and I went.
Speaker 2: We brought our tour buses and so the event of
Speaker 2: parking in the infield and experiencing the three days leading
Speaker 2: up to the actual race, you know, all the races
Speaker 2: that are going on, all the trials, everything is a blast.
Speaker 2: It's so welcoming that I feel like it's got to
Speaker 2: be what it feels like if you go to Germany
Speaker 2: for Octoberfest and you're like, oh, so this is Germany.
Speaker 2: Like a German if they come over, they should go
Speaker 2: to a NASCAR race, But camp out, get an RV
Speaker 2: and camp out, get a ton of cold beers, get
Speaker 2: a bunch of barbecue, set up a grill. Because that
Speaker 2: camaraderie that happens at these events, that's what really draws
Speaker 2: me to it. I got to go to a lot
Speaker 2: of NASCAR races when I worked for Serious and Bert
Speaker 2: is nailing it now. I'm a boy from New York City.
Speaker 2: I didn't know anything about NASCAR the first time I
Speaker 2: went down there, and I saw everybody just walking around
Speaker 2: in head to toe Budweiser gear. I remember seeing one
Speaker 2: guy dressed in a Kellogg's, you know, racing suit, much
Speaker 2: like I might wear a Mets jersey. They would wear
Speaker 2: the outfit of their favorite driver, and I'm like, Kellogg's, okay,
Speaker 2: But man, was everybody nice. I've got a picture of
Speaker 2: myself sitting on the track of the Daytona five hundred
Speaker 2: an hour before racetime. They let the civilians on the track,
Speaker 2: which I can't believe because I know I could have
Speaker 2: been a jerky face and taken out a chisel and
Speaker 2: just put a hole in the track, but they just
Speaker 2: let everybody kind of hang out. And I've got a
Speaker 2: picture of me and this dude dressed head to toe
Speaker 2: and bud gear. I guess he was a Dale junior fan,
Speaker 2: and we were drinking buds out of his cooler and
Speaker 2: it was just the greatest experience. And then I had
Speaker 2: a humbleverrag flex. I had what's called a hot pass,
Speaker 2: so I could hang out on pit road during the race.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you I was standing there and I
Speaker 2: was super appreciative, but I knew I did I appreciate it,
Speaker 2: and what I mean by that it would be like,
Speaker 2: I'm from Queens. I'm not a NASCAR fan, so would
Speaker 2: be like somebody who's not a Mets fan sitting in
Speaker 2: the Mets dugout during the World Series. It was the
Speaker 2: equivalent of that. So like, I'm like, this is an
Speaker 2: amazing experience, but I kind of felt guilty because I'm like,
Speaker 2: there's somebody across the road there in the stands who
Speaker 2: would like kill to do this. But it was super awesome.
Speaker 2: I did a bunch of races and nailed it. As
Speaker 2: I would walk around the infield with our host and
Speaker 2: Mark says high, people would offer us food and drink
Speaker 2: and everybody was super friendly and super cool. If you've
Speaker 2: never been to a NASCAR race and you have an
Speaker 2: opportunity to go, you should go and bring ear plugs
Speaker 2: because you're going to wind up paying ten bucks for
Speaker 2: your plugs if you don't bring them yourself. It is loud,
Speaker 2: and I know you think you know it's loud, You
Speaker 2: have no idea it's loud. Whatever you think, I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: it's louder than that. And the cars go by so
Speaker 2: fast that unless you turn your head and follow the
Speaker 2: cars along, if you just stare straight ahead, all you
Speaker 2: see is just and you don't even your eyes don't
Speaker 2: even lock on an actual car. So I am a
Speaker 2: NASCAR fan, and I'm a big fan of NASCAR events.
Speaker 2: Another time I went down to Talladega. Jeff Foxworthy was
Speaker 2: the Grand Marshall. So I went down and Talladega's kind
Speaker 2: of in the middle of nowhere. So I flew down
Speaker 2: on a Saturday night State at Atlanta, got up early,
Speaker 2: drove to Talladega, hooked up with Foxworthy, recorded some stuff,
Speaker 2: stayed for most of the race. I was parked on
Speaker 2: the infield and I was like, all, I've done NASCAR
Speaker 2: racist before and I'm not that big a fan. I'm
Speaker 2: going to leave twenty laps early so i can get
Speaker 2: out of here. But they had actually closed off the
Speaker 2: area and I couldn't get to my car. You weren't
Speaker 2: allowed to walk under the tunnel under the track. You
Speaker 2: were allowed to drive under the tunnel, but you couldn't
Speaker 2: walk under it. So I actually offered a local couple
Speaker 2: to a car. I'm like, we it was like the apocalypse.
Speaker 2: I offered them twenty bucks to drive me basically I
Speaker 2: don't know thirty feet and they were like, sure, hop in.
Speaker 2: And then the wife said to the husband, don't take
Speaker 2: the guy's money. So, whoever you were a couple twenty
Speaker 2: years ago, I appreciate you. Talladega was awesome and Talladega
Speaker 2: so big. You have to see it if you've never
Speaker 2: been in there, the tailgating area. I said, it looked
Speaker 2: like a small city had been evacuated because of nuclear
Speaker 2: scare or something, and everybody was told to go here.
Speaker 2: It's just this huge, tense city, but everybody's cool. I digress,
Speaker 2: Get back to it. John all Right, Tomorrow's grand Marshall
Speaker 2: is Nyprighatzy. Nate was on the Backstretch podcast. He said
Speaker 2: he's been a NASCAR fan for a long time now.
Speaker 2: Nate is from Nashville, so that makes sense that tracks.
Speaker 2: Nate said racing was an inevitable part of his childhood,
Speaker 2: but it was only in his late teens that he
Speaker 2: really got I know it and he said, then you
Speaker 2: start doing comedy, get busy, and it's a mix of
Speaker 2: like how do you do everything with sports? But I've
Speaker 2: always been a NASCAR fan. I love it when someone
Speaker 2: just kind of goes out on their own and just
Speaker 2: sees if it works out or if they get crushed
Speaker 2: and go back talking about racing and pacts there. As
Speaker 2: part of my prep, I came across these five things
Speaker 2: to know about Nate Berghatzy before the Daytona five hundred.
Speaker 2: Number one, Nate Brigazzy becomes first comedian to be Daytona
Speaker 2: five hundred Grand Marshal. We're told there have been actors
Speaker 2: and athletes, musical artists and wrestlers, former race car drivers,
Speaker 2: even a President of the United States, but never has
Speaker 2: a comedian Marshall for the Daytona five hundred. Congratulations Nate Bergazzy.
Speaker 2: Last year's Grand Marshall Anthony Mackie. You may know him
Speaker 2: as Captain America. Number two thing you need to know
Speaker 2: about Nate Bergazzy. Nate Pergazzy has huge comedy career. Thanks
Speaker 2: ratcle Writer. They worked hard on that one. Number three
Speaker 2: Nypergazzy's first feature film coming in twenty twenty six. Oh yes,
Speaker 2: this is The Breadwinner, which hits theaters May twenty ninth.
Speaker 2: If you've seen the trailer, perhaps you feel the way
Speaker 2: I did. I asked, was Kevin James not available? It
Speaker 2: does not look good. Nate created, co wrote, produced, and
Speaker 2: starred in The Breadwinner, So if it sucks, we know
Speaker 2: who to blame, and if it's good, we know who
Speaker 2: to give credit to. It also stars Mandy Moore, Colin
Speaker 2: Jose and Kamil Nanjiani. For some reason. Fun fact Number
Speaker 2: four Nate Bergazzi roots for Vanderbilt and the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2: Did I mention he's from Nashville? And number five fun
Speaker 2: fact Natepergatzy has NASCAR history. The fun fact is he
Speaker 2: was the honorary pace car driver for the Ally four
Speaker 2: hundred at Nashville Superspeedway back in June twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: Also happening this weekend, tomorrow, Fox will air episode eight
Speaker 2: hundred of The Simpsons. In episode eight hundred of The Simpsons,
Speaker 2: it is titled Irrational Treasure, and Marge Simpson takes Santa's
Speaker 2: Little Helper to Philadelphia to enter Santas Little Helper in
Speaker 2: a dog show. Homer Simpsons stows away on the trip,
Speaker 2: and soon they are embroiled in a national treasure like conspiracy.
Speaker 2: Guest stars include Kevin Bacon. Creator Matt Greening says, one
Speaker 2: of the great things for me is we've done so
Speaker 2: many episodes that I can watch earlier episodes and not
Speaker 2: remember a single thing about them. Every time we do
Speaker 2: a new episode, it seems another episode because out of
Speaker 2: my brain. The Simpsons had a party at the Fonda
Speaker 2: Theater in LA At the anniversary parties, they have the
Speaker 2: joke tagline almost halfway there, and they said that seemed funny.
Speaker 2: At the one hundred and fiftieth episode party, the two
Speaker 2: hundred to four hundred th and eve of the six hundredth,
Speaker 2: no one thought the show would go that far. But
Speaker 2: now that they've hit eight hundred, they want to see
Speaker 2: if they can hit episode one thousand. Fox has renewed
Speaker 2: The Simpsons through season forty. Greening says, I think that'd
Speaker 2: be an honorable thing to shoot for. I would do
Speaker 2: it for two hundred more or more. Once in nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety five, check your guild. There's a reporter asked me,
Speaker 2: how long can the Simpsons go on? I say, we're
Speaker 2: probably closer to the end of the beginning, which I
Speaker 2: thought was very elegantly vague. But the headlines with that
Speaker 2: I was saying the Simpsons was canceled. I've learned to say,
Speaker 2: no end in sight. Do you want to do the math?
Speaker 2: It'll take them another ten years to get to episode
Speaker 2: one thousand. Tomorrow, on this very program, comedian Drew Lynch
Speaker 2: stops by to promote his appearance at the Vancouver Comedy Festival,
Speaker 2: And because of that, I'm going to tell you who's
Speaker 2: at the Vancouver Comedy Festival both today and tomorrow. Let's
Speaker 2: start with today, Valentine's Day. If you're in Vancouver, grab
Speaker 2: your loved one and be like, hey, want to see
Speaker 2: some comedy shows. I listen to this guy does a
Speaker 2: podcast in the basement. He's telling us we should go
Speaker 2: see rosebud Baker at the Review Stage at nine pm.
Speaker 2: We might see the Alternative Show hosted by Mark Little,
Speaker 2: that's an eleven PM show at the Review Stage, and
Speaker 2: some other people that I'm not all that familiar with. Again,
Speaker 2: my general advice at a comedy festival is feel encouraged
Speaker 2: to go see some people that maybe you haven't heard of.
Speaker 2: All Right, Sunday Night, No Brainer at seven o'clock Ismo.
Speaker 2: Did you hear Ismo? He was the guest last Sunday,
Speaker 2: So go see Ismo at seven o'clock on Sunday. Rosebud's
Speaker 2: got another show, James A. Caster got a show at eight.
Speaker 2: You're gonna go see Ismo. Mary Beth Barone, she's really good.
Speaker 2: She's got to show at eight. But you're gonna go
Speaker 2: see Ismo in the Alternative shows at nine o'clock. So
Speaker 2: that would be what I would do. I'd do Ismo
Speaker 2: and then the Alternative show at the Vancouver Comedy Festival,
Speaker 2: but I didn't go. I'm home in New Jersey and
Speaker 2: I will leave you with this. Film director Roger Avery
Speaker 2: was on the Joe Rogan Experience. The Joe Rogan Experience
Speaker 2: is a pretty popular podcast. You may have heard of it.
Speaker 2: And the conversation turned to Star Trek and my ears went, hmmm,
Speaker 2: star Trek, if you've been listening, I'd take my Star
Speaker 2: Trek very seriously, and so do Joe Rogan and Roger Avery.
Speaker 2: Let's listen.
Speaker 1: Alex Kurtzman comes along and just like craps all over
Speaker 1: and I mean I went in and met with the guy.
Speaker 1: You know, I was like Hey, I will write Force
Speaker 1: for Scale. You know, I'll write on your new show.
Speaker 1: I'd like, I just want to be part of it,
Speaker 1: just as an opportunity to work on Star Treks. And
Speaker 1: he was, and I basically found out he didn't want
Speaker 1: anybody who had any kind of fondness for the original show.
Speaker 1: He wanted to do something new and to create something new.
Speaker 1: And this latest thing that he that they've made, this
Speaker 1: Starfleet Academy. Now it's still ongoing. Maybe it rights itself
Speaker 1: at some point. His company is called Secret Hideout. I
Speaker 1: think he's going to need a secret hideout after all
Speaker 1: these like after destroying star Trek for like this latest
Speaker 1: generation are we talking about the newest one? The one
Speaker 1: with take Nataro, that's the new Starfleet Academy is an abomination.
Speaker 1: I could not I could not get Yes, I could
Speaker 1: not get through three episodes of Discovery, and I mean
Speaker 1: they're just like it is just awful, awful storytelling. Well
Speaker 1: it's also clunky dialogue and bating.
Speaker 2: So comedians, take Nataro, Patton Oswald, genius sheer, Stephen Colbert,
Speaker 2: I'm watching you. That is your comedy needs for today,
Speaker 2: Drew Lynch Tomorrow Normal episode and comedy Survivor on Monday.
Speaker 2: See you then,
