<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media tightly ho.

2
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Nate Berghatzy

3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>is working on a book. It is called Big Dumb Eyes.

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I think the book publicist thought I was insane when

5
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I reached out to them already. Big Dumb Eyes was

6
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 2>announced by Nate on social media, who wrote, I'm so

7
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>excited to tell you that I'm writing my first book.

8
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Big Dumb Eyes will be an easy read of a

9
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>collection of personal stories, opinions, and confessions that the whole

10
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 2>family can enjoy. It doesn't come out until May sixth

11
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 2>of nixt year, which is why the publicists, I think

12
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>thought I was insane. Got I got those requests in

13
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>though I've previously told you. Nate is working on a

14
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Christmas special with CBS. Lauren Michael's behind that one. Nate

15
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 2>says of the new special, I'm extremely excited to be

16
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>creating this special as I've long been a fan of

17
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>variety and we don't see enough of it. I want

18
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>to make a great show for families to gather around

19
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 2>and watch together, and I couldn't be in better hands

20
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>and with this team. The ratings for Nate's SNL episode

21
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>are in. Four point zero seven million people watched it,

22
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>which is pretty good for eleven thirty at night when

23
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>you compare that to say, Playoff Baseball. Yeah. Week over

24
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 2>a week, it was down six hundred and twenty six

25
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>thousand viewers from the premiere. You think Coldplay would bring

26
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>in more people, right. It was also down eighty nine

27
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 2>thousand viewers from Nate's appearance last October on the twenty eighth.

28
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>That musical guest was Foo Fighters hmm. If you want

29
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 2>to compare week to week last year, on October twenty first,

30
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Bad Bunny hosted, Nate outdrew the Bad Bunny episode by

31
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred and twenty one one thousand viewers. HBO released

32
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 2>the trailer for Seth Meyer's new comedy special. It is

33
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>called Dad Man Walking. I've got the trailer for you here.

34
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I've made a couple of minor edits to it because

35
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 2>there's some visual jokes. But let's listen, and I want

36
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>to point out notice the music bed. It's like stock

37
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Music Library version of the Who's Won't Get Fooled Again?

38
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Weird choice. It like keeps distracting me because I'm like, oh,

39
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>it's fake who Anyway, let's listen.

40
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 1>I could never hate my kids, you guys, I could

41
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>never hate my kids with that. I hate when they

42
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 1>wake up in the middle of the night bad news.

43
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>It's gotten to the point that when I hear the

44
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 1>door knob rattle, I actually think to myself, maybe it's

45
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>just an intruder who will politely steal my valuables, and

46
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 1>then I won't have to scratch his back for the

47
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>next hour.

48
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Meyer's jokes that critics say it's the special my kids

49
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>will be talking about in therapy twenty years from now.

50
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>October twenty six for Seth Meyer's Dad Man Walking, Tommy

51
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 2>Chong was on Bill Morris podcast. He suggested that President

52
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>George W. Bush ordered a hit on mister Chong. Tommy

53
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 2>Chong is now eighty six. He claimed that his criminal

54
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>conviction in two thousand and three for selling drug paraphernalia online,

55
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 2>specifically seventy five hundred bonds and water pipes, was orchestrated

56
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>by George W. Bush. Chong served eight months at a

57
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>federal prison in California after entering into a plea deal.

58
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>The case was initiated by the US Attorney for Western Pennsylvania.

59
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Chung says it was orchestrated by Bush. He told Bill

60
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Mahr they had a hit on me. The Bush family.

61
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Bill Maher, no surprise, was curious about the claim. Chong said,

62
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Bush was invading a raq, so they needed some sort

63
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>of hippie bs more than asked him if it was

64
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>a wag the dog type play. That's a reference to

65
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>a political strategy he used to create a diversion. You know, hey,

66
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>don't worry about the war, worry about Tommy Chung. Yeah,

67
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 2>all right, Chong said, yeah, So they attacked me and

68
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>they sentenced me on nine to eleven. The judge Schwartz

69
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>was his name. He had a reputation of doing whatever

70
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>the Bush people wanted done, and so that's why he

71
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>was giving my thing. They needed a face for their

72
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>campaign because they were going after paraphernalia on the internet.

73
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Mar Ashchong if he harbored any bitterness towards Bush Or's family.

74
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Chong said no, Yeah, he said no, but admitted the

75
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>experience was a life changer for me. Yeah. I would

76
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>imagine newsweeks as they contacted the Bush media team for comment.

77
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>No comment at the time of this recording. Interesting tag here.

78
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Chong said prison was devastating to my family, especially my wife.

79
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't tough on me. Actually, it was quite a nice experience.

80
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Jenni Fisher, you know her as Pam from the Office.

81
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>She shared on Instagram her breast cancer diagnosis, announcing she's

82
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>now cancer free. She released a series of slides in

83
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 2>commemoration of Breast cancer Awareness Month. She said in October

84
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty three, doctors found something on her left

85
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>breast after an inconclusive mammogram. That December, she learned she

86
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 2>had stage one triple positive breast cancer, a particularly aggressive

87
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>form of the disease, but one that is highly responsive

88
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>to treatment. They caught the cancer early it had not

89
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>spread to the rest of her body. In twenty twenty four,

90
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 2>doctors removed the lump, but triple positive breast cancer still

91
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 2>requires chemo and radiation therapy. Jenna says during the treatment

92
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 2>her hair fell out and she began wearing wigs and

93
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>hats with hair, which her family affectionately called wigats. After

94
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 2>twelve rounds of weekly chemotherapy, three weeks of radiation, and

95
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>some other treatments, Jenna says she's happy to say I'm

96
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 2>feeling great. I'm making this announcements for a few reasons. One,

97
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready to ditch the wigs. Two to implore you

98
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 2>to get your annual mammograms. Can also ask your doctor

99
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 2>to calculate your breast cancer risk Assessment score and get

100
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>additional screenings required. I'm serious. Caught your doctor right now.

101
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 2>My tumor was so small it could not be felt

102
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>on a physle exam. If I'd waited six months longer,

103
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>things could be much worse. I'm happy to say I

104
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>was recently rescreened and the treatments worked. I'm cancer free.

105
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>I will continue to be treated monitored to help stay

106
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that way. Take it from Pam and her Pam PAMs.

107
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Michael Scott was right, get them check, ladies. Some high

108
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>profile animal lovers, including Ricky Gervais, attended a World Animal

109
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Day event in aid of the animal welfare charity Mayhew.

110
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.360

112

<v Speaker 2>support the dogs, cats and communities that Mayhew helps. HBO

113
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.199
<v Speaker 2>not the best timing to announce their new late night

117
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I was playing around on Max watching

118
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the Penguin. Have you seen the Penguin? The Penguin is

119
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 2>very good, And I noticed in the top ten was

121
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>airs on Saturday Night. So maybe the Saturday night thing

122
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>is a terrible idea, but the Max part of it

123
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 2>seems to be doing well. You go, Roywood Junior. Anyway,

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>it's Florida Man. We'll stream on Max at a layer

145
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 2>HBO Press Team. My former co worker Jamie Fox recorded

<v Speaker 2>know how you feel after three nights. Jamie said it

150
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>was an excruciating time opening those wounds every single day.

151
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 2>The subject matter was the story of the mysterious ailment

152
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 2>that left Jamie hospitalized back in twenty twenty three. The

153
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>show was titled What had Happened Was? Jamie says the

154
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>show's unusual because he didn't workshop the material. Fox says

155
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 2>it was excruciating because the worries what gets you. You

156
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>got a great show in the room, but we don't

157
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 2>know what they may laugh at, what they might not

158
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>laugh at. Usually, when you do a stand up, specially

159
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you gought for a year and you work every nook

160
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and granny and then you take it. You don't just

161
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 2>show up in Atlanta and turn the camera on. It's

162
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 2>a personal journey and I hope I never have to

163
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 2>go through this again. My next jokes will start out

164
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 2>knock Knock. I'll do an hour and a half of

165
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>knock knock jokes. Glad he's doing well again. Having worked

166
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>with Jamie in his camp for a few years, that

167
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 2>they weren't able to prop him up to take a

168
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.720
<v Speaker 2>photo of him sitting poolside and looking cool and being like, yeah,

169
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>everything's great. That screams to me that this was really serious,

170
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 2>because I'm telling you, if they could have gotten one

171
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.399
<v Speaker 2>good picture, it would have hit the Internet, glad he's

172
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>doing it all right. Steph Tolev is taping her special

173
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.960
<v Speaker 2>at the Paradise Rocket Club in Boston tonight. Vulture recognized

174
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Steph as one of Toronto's funniest exports in their annual

175
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Comedians You Should and Will Know not this year, but

176
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>a previous year. You can also see Steph tolev and

177
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Bill Burr's movie Old Dad's in the movie wasn't good. Sorry,

178
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and that's your comedy needs today. John, you end it

179
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>on a jerky note. You're more. I hate you. I know,

180
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry I stumbled into that, but it wasn't good.

181
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>See you tomorrow.
