Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media, Merry Christmas and Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news over the holidays. Have you gone to
Speaker 1: Crumble the Cookie Place? Found out one of my students
Speaker 1: actually works on the one right by my home, So
Speaker 1: that's awkward in there. When I go and order a
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon Brownie and she's gonna be like, really, dude,
Speaker 1: I mean she works, She'll be like, oh no, that's
Speaker 1: a good choice, sir. What's the problem with Jimmy Fallon Brownie?
Speaker 1: It's got twelve hundred calories. It is a holiday peppermint
Speaker 1: brownie called the Limited Edition Candy Cane Brownie, a chocolate
Speaker 1: treat smothered in peppermint buttercream and topped with candy cane bits.
Speaker 1: Foodies have said it is Crumble Cookie's highest calorie item, yet,
Speaker 1: according to the nutritional information, each serving is only one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty calories. As if you're not gonna eat
Speaker 1: the whole brownie, the Crumbled people are trying to pretend
Speaker 1: that brownie has six servings per brownie. Come on, dude, no,
Speaker 1: it has one and it's twelve hundred calories. Jimmy Fallon's
Speaker 1: clared it was the best brownie he's ever had. Some
Speaker 1: TikTokers are not convinced the dessert is worth the inches
Speaker 1: on your waistline. One content creator said, tell me who
Speaker 1: in their right mind, and especially an American, is going
Speaker 1: to be eating this in six settings. That's not realistic
Speaker 1: at all. Another content creator said, nobody needs that many calories.
Speaker 1: No wonder the US has such a high obesity rate.
Speaker 1: Let's break down the nutritional information. Okay, the brownie contains
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one grams of sugar and one
Speaker 1: hundred grams of added sugar. That's two hundred and two
Speaker 1: percent of the average daily intake. There are also forty
Speaker 1: grams of saturated fat, which coincidentally, and I'm wondering if
Speaker 1: this is actually a coincidence or like there's some reason
Speaker 1: they did this. That's also two hundred and two percent
Speaker 1: of the daily recommended intake. The Center for Disease Control
Speaker 1: and Prevention recommends that sugar should be less than ten
Speaker 1: percent of daily calories consumed in a two thousand calorie diet.
Speaker 1: That equates to approximately twelve tea spoons of added sugar,
Speaker 1: depending on your nutritional needs. The CDC says this adults
Speaker 1: should consume anywhere from sixteen hundred to three thousand calories
Speaker 1: total per day. The Jimmy Fallon Krumble brownie, therefore, could
Speaker 1: be almost all of someone's daily caloric intake. Professor Darwin
Speaker 1: Dettweiler from Northeastern University told The Daily Mail. Without clear labeling,
Speaker 1: consumers may underestimate the caloric and nutritional content, which is
Speaker 1: particularly concerning with oversized portions like those Crumble offers. If
Speaker 1: these cookies were firearms, they would be illegal. Are you
Speaker 1: gonna watch football today? I'm Netflix knows what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Christmas is totally just going to turn into day. We
Speaker 1: watch football. Now. When you have young kids, or our
Speaker 1: young kid, Christmas morning is amazing. You go play with
Speaker 1: your stuff. But once the kids are grown up, we
Speaker 1: kind of sit around the tree for ten minutes and
Speaker 1: then everybody scatters. So, yeah, football on Christmas Day makes
Speaker 1: sense to me. You go Netflix? Oh, I'm just not.
Speaker 1: Bert Kraser will join at Netflix as a tailgate correspondent
Speaker 1: today and my comedian of the Year, the slightly starting
Speaker 1: to be overexposed Nate Berghetzie is going to be a
Speaker 1: special guest your lineup today. One o'clock Chiefs, Steelers four
Speaker 1: point thirty Ravens Texans Beyonce scheduled to be the halftime performer.
Speaker 1: Al dot Com caught up with Jim Brewer. I don't
Speaker 1: have my Jim brew impression. I've been losing my brew impression.
Speaker 1: Part of it is you've heard me talk on and
Speaker 1: off about how I've had this fuzz in my voice.
Speaker 1: Now to do Jim, I need to get down a
Speaker 1: little more raspy. I always reset my half assed Gim
Speaker 1: Brewer impression, and back in the day when I worked
Speaker 1: with him, I did it pretty well, especially capturing the
Speaker 1: way he spoke in his rhythm. I used to write
Speaker 1: copy for Jim because I worked with him all the
Speaker 1: time and I have a good year for that sort
Speaker 1: of thing. But I remember the first time I met Jim.
Speaker 1: We were sitting at a high tabletop at Sirius and
Speaker 1: this is what he said and how I always reset it.
Speaker 1: He was telling Hi about the show and he goes,
Speaker 1: it's me my friend Pete Pete being Pete Corioley and
Speaker 1: I tell right, so you have to get down a
Speaker 1: little bit in a little gravelly. But I haven't been
Speaker 1: able to do it because I've been having the voice issues.
Speaker 1: And part of the reason I'm having the voice issues
Speaker 1: is because a lot of pretaping for a holiday week.
Speaker 1: So instead of doing like one podcast to day, there
Speaker 1: are bed days, I've been doing four because I not
Speaker 1: only host this, I also host five good News stories.
Speaker 1: So I've been blowing out my voice. Ail dot Com
Speaker 1: Asper who he enjoyed working with on SNL, and he said,
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks was the first star that came on for us.
Speaker 1: He was a megastar at the time, Like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: how did we get Tom Hanks? And I just couldn't
Speaker 1: believe how engaging it was. That really blew my mind.
Speaker 1: It's really funny because Alec Baldwin, as much as he
Speaker 1: drives me crazy with the things he says, he was
Speaker 1: probably one of the most engaging, very funny. He was incredible.
Speaker 1: John Goodman, Jim Carrey, he just came in and everything
Speaker 1: he did he at home run. Then they asked him
Speaker 1: about working with Dave Chappelle on the film A Half
Speaker 1: Baked Jim said, we had a chemistry before that movie started.
Speaker 1: We were already in the comedy club scene. We had
Speaker 1: the same manager hung out a lot in the comedy scene.
Speaker 1: We both were kind of hot names coming up, and
Speaker 1: so we already had a major history before or Half Baked.
Speaker 1: We were going to do a TV show together, so
Speaker 1: the chemistry was easy to do. And I knew that
Speaker 1: doing that movie that you're never gonna be on a
Speaker 1: set like this again where everyone gets along and everyone's
Speaker 1: helping each other out. That just doesn't exist. Uh oh, Jim,
Speaker 1: better be careful here. They asked him. Taylor Swift will
Speaker 1: be eligible for a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: induction in twenty thirty one. There's a solid chance she
Speaker 1: gets in before Iron Maiden. Jim laughed and said, I
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to who's in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Hall of fames are meant for the people that actually
Speaker 1: make the real money out of the whole situation. What
Speaker 1: a Jim Brewer answered, Jim always finds the conspiracy and everything,
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's probably right. Hall of fames are for
Speaker 1: the people that actually make the real money out of
Speaker 1: the whole situation. So at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's just like the government. Before government, we knew who
Speaker 1: the doctor was, we knew who the wise people were,
Speaker 1: we knew who the helpers were. We need to vote
Speaker 1: on it. You're always gonna know where maiden stands in history.
Speaker 1: All right? I got my half assed jim back there
Speaker 1: a little bit. A comedian Gary Delaney tells the lad
Speaker 1: Bible one of his favorite jokes is his most stolen
Speaker 1: joke by a mile. He says he originally performed the
Speaker 1: joke in two thousand and four, and the joke has
Speaker 1: shown up on countless t shirts and the pages of
Speaker 1: joke books. Delaney said, I get stolen from a lot.
Speaker 1: I've seen comics do sets made above one hundred percent
Speaker 1: of my jokes. Nothing you do about it, but it's annoying.
Speaker 1: All right, what is the joke? I went to buy
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree. The guy said, are you gotta put
Speaker 1: it up yourself? And I said no, I was thinking
Speaker 1: about the living room. All right. Vultures did their list
Speaker 1: of the comedians you should know and will know. One
Speaker 1: of those comedians Brennan Lee mulligan. Worst show was at
Speaker 1: a bar in Williamsburg where the audience's chairs were physically
Speaker 1: removed mid show to make room for a bridal party
Speaker 1: that crashed the bar because they'd been kicked out of
Speaker 1: their own wedding venue. Bride'smaid wandered on stage and we
Speaker 1: called the set shortly thereafter. Biggest financial hurdle you've encountered
Speaker 1: since becoming a comedian, Probably the biggest one was needing
Speaker 1: emergency dental surgery for my number eight incisor one of
Speaker 1: the two most visible teeth right in front of your mouth,
Speaker 1: and only being able to afford it by flying to
Speaker 1: Costa Rica. Yikes. I highly recommend dental tourism to anyone
Speaker 1: who's worried about affording both rent and their teeth. The
Speaker 1: dental clinic I went to did great work and offered
Speaker 1: a discount on a nearby rainforest zip line excursion. Comedy opinions.
Speaker 1: The customer is always right. If the audience isn't laughing
Speaker 1: at you, it's because you're not being funny enough to
Speaker 1: get a laugh. Bombing on stage and then blaming the
Speaker 1: audience after the factor. Being too sensitive is for chumps
Speaker 1: and losers. Another one of the comedians is Malik Ela
Speaker 1: sal whose career would he like to follow? He says,
Speaker 1: any comedian who's married. A comedian being married with kids
Speaker 1: is more impressive to me than if they sold out
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden Comedy opinion I don't like the idea
Speaker 1: that comedy is unimportant. I think comedy's perfect and comedians
Speaker 1: are flawed. I feel the same way about religion and
Speaker 1: religious people. I don't think we should be the go
Speaker 1: to for answers on the big issues. But I still
Speaker 1: believe comedy is a meaningful art form. A comedian friend
Speaker 1: of mine, Charlie de Mahers, once told me comedy is
Speaker 1: a brick you throw through a window that turns into
Speaker 1: stained glass. That being said, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: shows where you feel like you're the equivalent of bowling.
Speaker 1: No shade to the bowling community. Worst advice he ever
Speaker 1: gotten was from his dad, who told him to steal
Speaker 1: Kevin hartch jokes little short today. But that's your comedy
Speaker 1: news on a Christmas. If you're listening on Christmas, thank
Speaker 1: you for listening on Christmas. And if you're playing catch
Speaker 1: up after Christmas, thank you. Thank for playing catch up
Speaker 1: after Christmas. I will continue to have daily episodes for
Speaker 1: you here see tomorrow.
