00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Happy Monday. I'm Jutnimack with your daily

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>comedy news, daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and

3
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the comedy industry. A sentence the Algorithm loves. Arseniel Hall

4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 1>was on Conan O'Brien. They started talking about the worst

5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>person who ever lived, Jay Leno or Sanuel. Hall said

6
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>he was relieved to be welcomed into Conan O'Brien studio

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 1>because the previous evening he had spent time with Jay Leno.

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Those two have done a few shows together. Arseniel Hall

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>told ConA last night, me and Howie Mandela arrived in

10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills to do a benefit for abused animals with

11
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Jay Leno. Yeah, Jade's like, what a horrible guy doing

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a benefit for abused animals. Now, I'm not sure what

13
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>this benefit was because Jay Leno the worst person who

14
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 1>ever lived. He's not going around going everybody look at me,

15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>how cool I am? He's just doing benefits now. I

16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 1>did find this story from twenty nineteen. I think it

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>is yes, and back in twenty nineteen, jay Leno was

18
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>at an event called Stand Up for Animals. Back in

19
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, the worst person who ever lived. Said, in

20
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>these divisive times, there's one thing that brings all people together,

21
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>a public and democrat, libertarian, no matter who you are,

22
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's animals. I mean, all humans just have a

23
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 1>need for animals. They help cure people, they help us

24
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>have fun, they put us in a good mood. And

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>here's a chance for us to do something for him

26
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and Chilean, he's the worst, right anyway, Arsenio says, So

27
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 1>last night, about eight o'clock, I'm thinking, get to bed,

28
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>get up tomorrow, Duke Conan, and I'm looking at Jay

29
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Leno in this green room, and I don't keep up

30
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>with all white folks business, but I do remember that

31
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 1>y'all had friction. You may recall Jay Leno was the

32
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>host of the Tonight Show and then Conan hosted it

33
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>for five minutes, and then Jay Leno came back. If

34
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>you listen to this podcast, you're probably familiar with the story.

35
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 1>So I will move on, Arsenio said, I thought about it.

36
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, WHOA. I hope Conan doesn't hate me because

37
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Jay's like a big brother to me, and we fought too.

38
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Me and Jay were like Canaan Abel. Conan O'Brien said,

39
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 1>water under the Bridge. This is gonna sound so corny,

40
00:01:58.400 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>but I'm so happy with my life and I get

41
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>to do all the things I want to do, and

42
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>honestly don't think about any of that stuff. Is Dollywood

43
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 1>closing now? No one thinks it is, except Bert Kraser,

44
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>who said this on a podcast with Luke Comb's. Bert

45
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Krascher and Luke Combs were discussing the difference between fame

46
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>and celebrity in which country star fits into each category.

47
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Bert Krescher asked Luke Combs, hey, have you ever met

48
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Dolly Porton? And if he had visited the theme park

49
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>as a child, then Bert says, it's one of the

50
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>best theme parks in the entire world. I'm so sad

51
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>it's closing. It's a theme park with a thumbprint, and

52
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that thumb print is Dolly. It is authentically Appalachia. The

53
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>topography of the park is very hilly, and so even

54
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 1>with large crowds, you get a good workout. And all

55
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the food is Appalachia, and so the smells are unlike

56
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>any other theme park. Plus the rides are awesome. It's

57
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 1>such a great park. Now you might be like John

58
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>why'd you say Appalachia not Appalachia. Well, as I have learned,

59
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 1>in the central of the Southern region, people tend to

60
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>say Appalachia, while in the North, where you Yankees live,

61
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>you people from New York City say Appalachia. So I'm

62
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to be correct. I may have made things worse.

63
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Should have probably just sat Appalachia. Lu Comb said she

64
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>definitely stayed true to her East Tennessee roots. She's always

65
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>been a huge proponent of the region and has installed

66
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>that spirit in Dollywood. You know what I'm going to

67
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 1>call out friend of the show, Scott Beckett. Scott, help

68
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 1>your Yankee friend pronounce words, Shoot me a note, text

69
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 1>me bro. Newsweek ran a fact check. The fact check

70
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>is is Dolly Parton's Dollywood theme park closing permanently? They

71
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>report Dolly Parton's theme park Dollywood had to close early,

72
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>just days into a new season, in a development that

73
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>sparked confusion online. The park had been due to close

74
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 1>at eight pm on Monday, March sixteenth, but according to

75
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>an update posted on Instagram, it closed at five pm.

76
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>The fact check by Newsweek says Dollywood has not been

77
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>closed permanently. It was shut for a few hours. It

78
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 1>is possible that Bert Krescher was wrong. Mark Norman's talk

79
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 1>to The La Times. They were curious about at the

80
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>beginning of Mark Norman's special, a tape goes into VCR

81
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 1>in case you missed it, and I did. The tape

82
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>is labeled best of Gay Porn, and The LA Times

83
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 1>asked the very important question, were there any other working

84
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 1>titles for that tape? Norman said, no, My dumb friend

85
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>edited it and put that in himself as a little

86
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 1>easter egg. He thought it'd be funny, so I had

87
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with that. I was a big skateboarder

88
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 1>in my youth and I told him I wanted a

89
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 1>tape in a VCR like an old skate video, so

90
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 1>that's what he did. Thanks for catching it. They were

91
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>also curious about Mark Norman throwing his fist in the

92
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>air from time to time? Is that a tribute to Rocky?

93
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Mark said, I don't know where I got that from.

94
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>There's really no story behind it. I just got pumped

95
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 1>up to do comedy. The LA Times. Yeah, sometimes when

96
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 1>comics become parents, the material goes straight to kids say

97
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 1>the funniest things. But you're still feels pretty horned up,

98
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>but not overly kid heavy. Mark said, that's news to me.

99
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Now I was conscious of that. I didn't want to

100
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 1>be the Aushuck's dad. Kids are so crazy comics. I

101
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you noticing that. I don't know about the charged

102
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>up part though. You know, Louis c k is the

103
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>best with that. He has a ton of kid stuff,

104
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's still, you know, throwing your kids at a

105
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 1>dumpster and all that. So that was kind of min

106
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 1>nord star. They're curious about all of Mark's projects. He said,

107
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm a weirdo and I like to work. He used

108
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 1>to be a janitor and I used to move furniture.

109
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 1>So podcasting and stand up is not so bad. You

110
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about having a job. It is a lot, and

111
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I have no free time, but I don't mind it.

112
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>I hang out with my two friends. We do a

113
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 1>pod together each so that's how we get to hang out.

114
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Now we monetize it, so that's something. And then the

115
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 1>stand up, I actually just love doing it, love of

116
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 1>the game. If I wasn't doing it, like during COVID,

117
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to put a gun in my mouth, I

118
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>felt like I had no self worth. I just started

119
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>drinking every day and doing drugs. Comedy gives me some meaning,

120
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of sad, but that's how I'm wired.

121
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>If I have nothing to work towards, I'll just collapse

122
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>in on myself. They asked him about what's standing out

123
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>with the newer comics coming up another good question, he says,

124
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I think comics are chasing going viral. I get it though.

125
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Everybody wants the followers, everyone wants the views, but they're

126
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 1>not really chasing good jokes or quality comedy. Let's say

127
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a big thing, but it's not even the young

128
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>comics fault because you hear the clubs say stuff like

129
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>we need a comic with a lot of followers or

130
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>we won't book you, so they're scrambling to get followers.

131
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 1>But I'm on fashion and young comics are probably gonna

132
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 1>make fun of me. But I think the cream tends

133
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 1>to rise. So if you're killing, you're writing good stuff,

134
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 1>and you're getting up the right people will notice you eventually.

135
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I think the old guard, like Louis c k and Seinfeld,

136
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 1>these guys are all very against the Internet. They're like,

137
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 1>get off the Internet, and I'm saying, no clip cell

138
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 1>tickets both extremes, the young and the old. I think

139
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 1>we need a little bit of readjusting towards the middle.

140
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Coming up at noon Eastern today, the results of Comedy Survivor.

141
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>As I speak to you right now into your ears,

142
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea who was voted off. I think

143
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I know because I look at the Facebook groups sometimes,

144
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 1>but I don't actually know yet. I didn't produce the

145
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 1>episode yet, but it will be out at newon Eastern today,

146
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>out today. If you need something to watch, Joe Dombrowski's

00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>One Laughing UK on Amazon. One of the comedians on

150
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>there is Diane Morgan. She's currently also storing in a

151
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>train railways. Is that redundant train railway? Could you have

152
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>just said railway? Leave it in train Railways? Inaugural safety

153
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>video it is called Travel Safe with Diane Morgan, she said,

154
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 1>at first I thought it was a mad idea asking

155
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 1>me because I thought, am I the right person for this?

156
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And then I thought it'd be an interesting challenge to

157
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>do something like this two people every single day or

158
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 1>getting injured. I had no idea is that high, So

159
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>don't run down a platform whatever you do, or try

160
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 1>to throw yourself between the doors. Diane's trying to work

161
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>out more. She said, I went through a phase last

162
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 1>year of running, but then when it got really dark

163
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and cold, I stopped. Amen's sister Johnny Mack had a terrible,

164
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 1>terrible winter for running. But it's still forty degrees out.

165
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 1>If it ever gets warm again, I promise you I'll run.

166
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Even bought new shoes. Diane says, I'm so busy throughout

167
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the day. It's difficult to find a time when you

168
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 1>can go. But I really need to start doing something.

169
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>They all start doing yoga at home or something. We're

170
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>lifting weights. That's meant to be good, isn't it. I

171
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>like this Diane Morgan. I find her very funny. I

172
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.959
<v Speaker 1>don't find her to the worst person to watch on TV,

173
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 1>if you know what I mean. And she says, I'm

174
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.839
<v Speaker 1>starting getting in age where I just hate anything modern

175
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>as well. She may be perfect. Noah Gordon Schwartz will

176
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 1>be launching a weekly comedy series tracking the craziest elements

177
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 1>of the new trend of prediction markets. You may know Noah.

178
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>He wrote all five seasons of The Marvelous Missus Masel.

179
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>He's hosting The Spreadsheet twelve part series on YouTube in April.

180
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Each episode will track the week's most votable prediction contracts

181
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>across pop culture, sports, and global affairs. Noah says social

182
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 1>media first allowed people to voice their opinions about anything. Now,

183
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 1>prediction markets actually allow people to try to make money

184
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>off those opinions. Or you know, sometimes there's some things

185
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that happen five minutes before the markets open or five

186
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 1>minutes after the market's closed, and there's some sort of

187
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>international thing and there's some trades, and you know, somebody

188
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>just guessed well and made a ton of money. That's

189
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>been happening a lot lately, So maybe you can talk

190
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>about that stuff. Shut up, Sean, Okay, let's see what's

191
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 1>happening at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Melbourne Arts says

192
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Sammy Jay's Hero Complex is one of the most memorable

193
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>comedy shows they've ever seen. Five star review. It's about

194
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Sammy Jay's lifelong obsession with the comic strip character of

195
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.279

196
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 1>constant grinning, chuckling and laughing punctuated with revelations that may

197
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 1>just blow your mind. Sam Nicorestes Baby Joomer Troutle describes

198
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it as who knew a show about finding the perfect

199
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>two piece skirt suit would be so uproariously funny, life firming, angry, dumb, insightful,

200
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and political all at once. Babydomer at the Weston until
