00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>daily comedy news. People are not upset with Shane Gillis,

3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>but they're kind of like, come on, dude. He went

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>to the Masters last Sunday. Rory McElroy had his run there.

5
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people were tuning in on the fly,

6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of casuals, myself included, put the golf on

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 1>and on his podcast, Shane said, I don't give enough

8
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>about golf. I really wanted to. You couldn't see a thing.

9
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Shane was there with his tires Co star Steve Gerbin.

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Steve had pleaded with Shane to use his celebrity power

11
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to gain entry into the exclusive Masters tournament, tagging along

12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 1>as their friend Chris O'Connor. Shane says O'Connor was planning

13
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>on not going, so he had already started drinking a little.

14
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>He was prepared to lock down by himself at Hooters

15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>for the entire day, which I could have been more

16
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>jealous of. Gillis admitted that the fairways of Augusta were

17
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>like paradise and that everybody was friendly except for the bathrooms,

18
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 1>which he compared to prison. People on social media are

19
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>both jealous and kind of like, can you not appreciate it?

20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I had an experienced once back when we did Blue

21
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Collar Radio. I used to get hot passes for NASCAR events.

22
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>So what a hot pass is is you can be

23
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>in Pitt Road while the race is going on, while

24
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>cars are coming in and they're doing the tire changes

25
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and all that, and I'd be three feet from the

26
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>car during a race. And every time I did it

27
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>at the Daytona five hundred, I would be appreciative, but

28
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, deep down, I know I don't appreciate this.

29
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 1>It would be like somebody else who doesn't care sitting

30
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>in the Mets dugout during a Mets World Series. That

31
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>would be like my equivalent there for me. And I'm like,

32
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>this is amazing, but I'm not a NASCAR fan, and

33
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I know there's somebody up there in the stands who

34
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 1>would kill for this experience. Loved it, did it several times.

35
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Thought it was cool. NASCAR's great, especially in person, really

36
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>good time, but I knew, like, deep down, I don't

37
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 1>deserve to be here, or someone else does. I watched

38
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 1>on Millenie Show with David Letterman and Hannibal burrus NICKI

39
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Glazer and John Mulaney's He's not good at hosting a

40
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>talk show. David Letterman tried to save the night, but

41
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the show it's misproduced. Here's some notes from somebody who's

42
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>produced a thing or two in thirty years. John's fifteen

43
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>minute story at the beginning too long. I started hitting

44
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 1>fast forward. Part of the problem is I know that

45
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 1>they're going for this is different, and this is chaotic,

46
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and the zaniness and the weirdness is what makes it cool.

47
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't work. You've got David Letterman there, but

48
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>instead of just having Millennie and Letterman talk, you've got

49
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Leanne Morgan there. So then Milanie starts talking over Dave

50
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>towards Leanne Morgan, who's further down the couch. Dave makes

51
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>a joke about how awkward it is, which was funny. Again,

52
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Dave tried to save it, but the format doesn't work

53
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>because Letterman or any guest Nicki Glazer, Hannibal Buris, they

54
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>can't get into groove because you've got too many people

55
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 1>sitting there at once. Richard Kind apparently has carte blanche

56
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>to interrupt and throw the whole thing off. This show

57
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work. I can't understand how you have John Mullaney,

58
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 1>David Letterman, Nikki Glazer, Hannibal Burs and Fine Leanne Morgan.

59
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 1>And you can't hand in something that's entertaining. I didn't

60
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 1>make it to the end. This show is not good.

61
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Conan O'Brien will be the guest on John mullaney next week.

62
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Here's a pro tip for the producers. Okay, you're ready,

63
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>here's what you're gonna do. It's seven oh one in

64
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles and fifty four degrees. My first guest is

65
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Conan O'Brien. Conan, how you doing? And then stop talking?

66
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And then fifty nine minutes later ago, and that's our

67
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 1>show this week. See you guys next week. All right,

68
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>write that down mlany or more importantly, write that down

69
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>malleaney's producers, says the guy hosting a podcast in his basement.

70
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>The Sydney Morning Harold asked the question ken John Mulaney's

71
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>absurdist Netflix masterpiece save late night TV masterpiece. They use

72
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the word masterpiece. The Sydney Morning Harold writes. When it works,

73
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 1>it's very good. However, there are some more awkward episodes.

74
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Cruise Ships, for example, didn't end as a particularly interesting

75
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>topic where everybody had good stories but getting fired. It's

76
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>alls about finding the right people. Yeah, like so you had,

77
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, David Letterman, hanniballe person, nickki Glazer. You

78
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>could probably make a show out of that. It all

79
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>has a frantic, somewhat cobbled together feeling that's incongruous to

80
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 1>the amount of money that's clearly being spent on the show.

81
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>And nobody seems more joyful about the chaos than Mlany.

82
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 1>He told Bill Hayter, this is what it's going to

83
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 1>be like the entire time. I have a whole new vibe.

84
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>It's very different. It might be a winning strategy, a

85
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>way to save the format, but it feels less deliberate

86
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>than that. Maybe it's just a way generally a fun

87
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and beloved style of show for as long as they're

88
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>allowed to get away with it. Latenighter dot Com orroat

89
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Episode six of Everybody's Live treats Letterman's appearance with format

90
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 1>breaking comic reverence, an unprecedented cold open with a mic

91
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>toting Mullaney fainting towards a similarly unprecedented topical bit about

92
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 1>the current constitutional crisis, give way to the frenzied backstage

93
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 1>prep for the measure in they lined up people in

94
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 1>size order. It was a lettermanesque bit. Even Letterman said,

95
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 1>that's the kind of thing we used to do late night.

96
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>A writs are running theme the season has been that

97
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>even Mlanie doesn't know what he's actually doing here. His

98
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>pronouncement here that his sort of late night show looks

99
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and sounds like it's real, but it's just kind of

100
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 1>off is a more sucinct definition than any I've come

101
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>up with. Letterman's presence makes the call in segments even

102
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 1>more of an afterthought than usual. M'laney introduces Hannibal Verse

103
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>and Nicky Glazers, two of his best stan up pals,

104
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 1>while LeAnn Morgan's ultra Southern stick gets tiresome, but none

105
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 1>can compete with the legend nestled beside them on Malanie's couch.

106
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 1>That's in line with my notes, ladies and gentlemen, my

107
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>first guest is David Letterman. Hi, Dave, what's going on?

108
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>And stop talking? Good stuff from late night? Or here

109
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>they write for Dave himself. This sort of coded tribute

110
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 1>is barely acknowledged even as the entire episode plays out.

111
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 1>In one extended thank you. Rolling Stone interviewed Jimmy Kimmel.

112
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I shared that in the Facebook group, which is Daily

113
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Comedy News podcast group, they were curious of Jimmy's earliest

114
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>comedy memories. Kimmel said, I had an audio cassette recorder,

115
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 1>and before Letterman came on, I would watch Carson. Same note.

116
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I was there for Dave and you just you watched

117
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Carson to get to twelve thirty with something to do.

118
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Kim Will says specifically, when Bill Cosby was hosting for Johnny,

119
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>I tape the monolog and I transcribed it because I

120
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 1>wanted to see what it looked like. But I didn't

121
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>have any intention of being comedian. That never occurred to me.

122
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I had a late night license plate and had a

123
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 1>late night birthday cake because I love Letterman so much,

124
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>not that I thought I could do it someday. Rolling

125
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Stone was curious about the late night landscape, especially in

126
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>light of After Midnight being canceled. Kimmel says, ABC pays

127
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>me so ideally, in an ideal world, everybody would watch

128
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>our show on ABC, but it's not how it works.

129
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 1>It's very easy to watch it on YouTube. People watch

130
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>anything at a moment's notice now and in late night,

131
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I find most of the people are watching me the

132
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 1>next day. That's the next day in the morning. But

133
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.959
<v Speaker 1>if you look at YouTube, you look at all the shows.

134
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>More people are watching our late night television than ever were.

135
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 1>And that's what any comedian wants. I don't know, I

136
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 1>might have to fact check that. Let me see what

137
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Carson was at his peak. Okay. AI overview on Google

138
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 1>says Carson Show averaged nine million viewers nightly. A Facebook

139
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>post says it averaged sixteen million people. Here's the LA

140
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>time saying nine million. So let's go with nine million.

141
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess if you added up two million here million

142
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>there a millionaire in the social media. Maybe if we

143
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 1>add everything together, it might get to nine million. Jimmy Kimmel. Maybe,

144
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 1>perhaps possibly, I'm too lazy to do the math. Jimmy retirement. Yes, no,

145
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy said, I realize there's no point in talking about it.

146
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Obsess the people I work with. There are a lot

147
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>of people who want of jobs when I retire. That

148
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>definitely weighs on me. But the reality is, I'm not

149
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna do this forever. At a certain point, it's gonna

150
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 1>have to end. I also know that there's not one

151
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 1>person who works here who would resent me for retiring.

152
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I think they know that when I'm done, I'll feel

153
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 1>like I've done this as long as it possibly can.

154
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>But you always feel like the band leader that when

155
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 1>you step aside, everyone's gonna have to find new jobs.

156
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Fallon, whose Tonight Show is in third place? And

157
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 1>I've been thinking about that since I said it on

158
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. I can't imagine a universe in which the

159
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Tonight Show is the third most popular thing at eleven thirty?

160
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>How is that possible? And yeah, I get demos and

161
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the younger people like them and all that, but like,

162
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>if you're at NBC and the Tonight Show is in

163
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.439
<v Speaker 1>third are you like, hmm, what are we even doing? So?

164
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but like, if not Jimmy Fallon, who

165
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and what and why? Right? So fine? Let Jimmy Fallon

166
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 1>sit there for twenty years. Maybe it's the marketing. Uh

167
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe they should hire Milanie's producer, just have

168
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Fallon host a mess of a show. Who knows. Anyway,

169
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy's got another show on NBC, so I guess they

170
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 1>like him a lot He's going to host the marketing

171
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>competition series On Brand, which will also feature marketing exec Bezoma,

172
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Saint John and a number of big companies. On Brand

173
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>with Jimmy Fallon. We follow what happens when Jimmy Fallon

174
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.199
<v Speaker 1>starts a premier marketing agency and fills it with the

175
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 1>most creative, clever and competitive go getters he can find. Boy,

176
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody in the NBC sales department is creaming their coffee

177
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 1>over this one, because a host of national brands, including

178
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Captain Morgan, Duncan, KitchenAid, Marshall's, Pillsbury, Samsung, Sonic Southwest and

179
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>thorough Body, will be part of the show, serving as

180
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.919
<v Speaker 1>the agency's clients and of course getting a good deal

181
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 1>of screen time. All right, so there's a show and

182
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be all advertising. Oh boy, NBC se executives.

183
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.559
<v Speaker 1>So just gotta love this. Jimmy Fallon said, I love branding,

184
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I love marketing. I love the world of advertising, and

185
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I think there are a lot of people out there

186
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 1>who do as well. This show, let's the audience that

187
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 1>our contestants get a peek behind the curtain of how

188
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 1>campaigns where some of the biggest brands come together and

189
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 1>what goes into making them. Each episode will see the

190
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 1>on brand agency, which reinforces the show's title, working with

191
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 1>one of the aforementioned brands on a major campaign that

192
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>may involve commercials, jiggles in Pearson Experiences, or merchandise. The

193
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 1>judges will pick the best ideas, which then go on

194
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 1>to become real world campaigns. What are we even doing

195
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati? Yesterday? Cant Williams got a street named after him.

196
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 1>You may know it as Reading Road at the corner

197
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 1>of Maple Avenue in Avondale. Nope, it is now Cant

198
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Williams Way. Happy for twenty and Easter, but happy four

199
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty to those of you who observe. People who do

200
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>observe today's holiday are Cheach and Shong, and I believe

201
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>from my original notes when I stashed this here months ago,

202
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Cheach and Shoong's Last Movie I Think is out today.

203
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Euchen Chong's Last Movie is a documentary offering a wildly

204
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>imaginative take on genre convention, a true life tale till

205
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>through a mix of animation and archival madness, all underscored

206
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>by a classic cinematic road trip comedy. My Voice is

207
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 1>already given out. And while I'll con see that often

208
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>happens on the Sunday episodes. That's usually because I usually

209
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>record Friday, Saturday Sunday to give myself the week and off.

210
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I had the interview yesterday, so this

211
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>is actually the first one in the sequence that I'm recording.

212
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know why my voice is gone, because

213
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to do Monday too, because it was supposed

214
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to be nice out today and Johnny Mack wants to

215
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:36.799
<v Speaker 1>be doing something else. I love you guys, but you know,

216
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 1>it's Sunday, it's Easter, it's four twenty. I'm not a

217
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>four to twenty guy, but you know, if you are,

218
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 1>that's fine. But it's Easter and it's nice out and

219
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to go out anyway. The Mailburn Comedy Festival

220
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 1>wraps up today. The Guardian gave Lou Wall's show five stars.

221
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>They write comedians frequently lie, but if the story is funny,

222
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. If the truth of a hit TV show

223
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>is contested, do you enjoy it less? Lou Wall's new

224
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 1>show Breaking the Fifth One, was nominated for Best Show

225
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>at Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The story is about Wall

226
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 1>listing a bed for free on Facebook Marketplace and the

227
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>unhinged interaction that follows with a woman named Eileen. It's

228
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic bit, not least because it's very believable. Anyone

229
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>who's listened something on Facebook Marketplace is familiar with the

230
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>absolute gauntlet of humanities weirdness that you open yourself up to.

231
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 1>It starts with a straightforward story and it becomes something

232
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>much more meta and much more complicated. Sounds like a

233
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>fun show. I think I figured out how to. I've

234
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.639
<v Speaker 1>dropped my energy a little bit. I've stopped shouting, and

235
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I think if I talk at this level, I'll be

236
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>able to record today and tomorrow. Let's do one more.

237
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>From expats dot cz, your home for comedy news, they

238
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 1>caught up with Icelandic comedy star Ari l Jarn. You

239
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 1>know him from Pardon My Icelandic Well. Ari is visiting Prague.

240
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Ari is known for his razor sharp impressions and deadpan

241
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>takes on Nordic oddities. Expats dot Cz was curious, have

242
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you been to Prague before? Ari said, yeah, once, about

243
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.080
<v Speaker 1>eight years ago. It's beautiful. Raykovic has almost no old

244
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>buildings left. We basically demolished everything ourselves after World War Two.

245
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 1>The oldest house where I live is from seventeen ninety

246
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.279
<v Speaker 1>in Prague. The pizzeria I went to was from fourteen ninety.

247
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't even listed as a historical landmark. Who shaped

248
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 1>your comedic style? Eddie Murphy was the biggest comic in

249
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the Nordic countries. His specials Delirious and Raw were huge here.

250
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>They were the first stand up specials most people saw. Later,

251
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I discovered Eddie Zard. Now my manager is Eddie's tour manager.

252
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.159
<v Speaker 1>It's been awesome learning from him. Good question here. Your

253
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.799
<v Speaker 1>material is very eurocentric. Do you think it works outside Europe?

254
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Any jokes that didn't land or? He says, by far.

255
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I've heard the biggest reactions from the Nordic countries, especially

256
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Denmark and Finland, and also really works on Australia. Australians

257
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 1>really get it. The US not so much. I've performed

258
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>there much, but I think American audience is harder to crack.

259
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Mostly the Americans who make it to my shows are

260
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 1>very Eurocentric. They're often the type of say, yeah, we're

261
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>from the stats, We're sorry, We're sorry. Good question here.

262
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.799
<v Speaker 1>You once said translating a material from English felt like

263
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a rebirth of the jokes. It's exciting when you realize

264
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the joke, which he thought was completely local, can be

265
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>made international. It's a fun challenge because most of my

266
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>material is so intertwined with Icelandic phrasing. When I speak English,

267
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I tend to be less precise, more of an impression

268
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.039
<v Speaker 1>of an English speaker, which can lead to strange errors.

269
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you don't notice them, but doing it on the

270
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.159
<v Speaker 1>fly is a mind bending challenge. It's almost like being

271
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>an AI translator. And he shares that he's fluent in English,

272
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>semi fluent in Danish, and can also make himself understood

273
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 1>in French, German, and Spanish and of course Icelandic. I

274
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 1>assume he says, that's five, but I'm counting six, assuming

275
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the Icelandic one. That's your comedy news for today. Oh boy,

276
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I gotta find a voice for Monday's episode. Come back

277
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow you'll see what happens.
