Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media make twelve thirty great again. I'm Johnny
Speaker 1: Mack with your daily comedy news David Letterman, who's on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of all the issues these days. You know,
Speaker 1: he's supporting Seth Myers, whereas the President and I are
Speaker 1: aligned that NBC twelve thirty could be a lot funnier.
Speaker 1: Letterman also out there letting Adam Sandler believe he's the
Speaker 1: least bit funny. You know, I don't know what to
Speaker 1: do with this. I'm actually getting increasingly mad with Mike
Speaker 1: from The Letterman Podcast, and I'm in his ear that
Speaker 1: he needs to rebrand his show as The Conan Podcast
Speaker 1: and celebrate the true greatness of twelve thirty comedy now
Speaker 1: that Dave has just lost his way. And you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what Jimmy Fallon did on that show
Speaker 1: and Seth forget about it. So Mike the Conan Podcast
Speaker 1: think about it. I think you need to consider it.
Speaker 1: David Letterman is still out there putting out work. Dave
Speaker 1: has announced another season of My Next Guest Needs No
Speaker 1: Introduction with David Letterman, season December sixteenth. Michael B. Jordan
Speaker 1: is the guest and my wife has the haunts for
Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan, so I'm not gonna tell her that
Speaker 1: episode even exists. Then I find this interesting mister Beast,
Speaker 1: and then they tell us mister Beast's real name is
Speaker 1: Jimmy Donaldson. I thought your guest needs no introduction. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: which is it? David Letterman and Jason Bateman will be
Speaker 1: the final guest of the wopping three episode season. For
Speaker 1: some reason, the Saandler episode not part of the official season.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of this works. I don't care. Dave,
Speaker 1: come back home, Dave, you want to press me. I
Speaker 1: don't care about the return of Eddie Murphy. Here's what
Speaker 1: I want Dave to do. David Letterman, I'm calling you out.
Speaker 1: I want you to find a tower somewhere and throw
Speaker 1: a watermelon off it. Just one watermelon. That's all I
Speaker 1: need out of you, Just to know that my David
Speaker 1: Letterman is still in there somewhere now. The original five
Speaker 1: story tower has been torn down, but I'm sure we
Speaker 1: can find another five story tower if you want. If
Speaker 1: you want to come over to my house and throw
Speaker 1: a watermelon off the house at me, I'll let you
Speaker 1: do that as long as I can record the audio.
Speaker 1: You know, in these trying times where some things are
Speaker 1: getting worse, some things are getting better, Sesame Street has
Speaker 1: found its fastball. I'm really excited about this. You know,
Speaker 1: Sesame Street is on Netflix right now. Yeah, no more PBS.
Speaker 1: It's on Netflix and they're doing a cross promotion to
Speaker 1: promote this knives Out movie that I think it's out today.
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen a knives Out movie. Daniel Craig
Speaker 1: plays ben Wan Blanc. Well, he plays Benyet Blanc on
Speaker 1: a knives Out parody on Sesame Street. Let's listen, someone
Speaker 1: e't me tripleberry pie? Ha ah, No one touched my
Speaker 1: sardine pie. This a mystery only the world's greatest detective console.
Speaker 1: What have arrived to this street of Sesame on a
Speaker 1: sunner day? Turn cloudy? We have a culinary culprit in
Speaker 1: our mites, and to solve this confectionery conundrum, we must
Speaker 1: look right in front of our googly eyes at cookie Monster.
Speaker 1: Oh we're not doing that whole gasp thing. It makes sense.
Speaker 1: Cookie Master does love silm chills. Yeah, yes, now that
Speaker 1: was pretty good, and like most things on modern Sesame Street,
Speaker 1: it got ruined Byomo. I mean that is just the
Speaker 1: story of him. Well, President Trump, why don't you do
Speaker 1: something about Sesame Street? You know, I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're doing all day. Appreciate you helping to make twelve
Speaker 1: thirty great again, and I applaud your efforts there. You
Speaker 1: and I are not aligned on all the issues, but
Speaker 1: you've done nothing about Patton Oswalt and Star Trek so far,
Speaker 1: and I think you need to do something about Sesame Street.
Speaker 1: Sesame Street in the seventies was wonderful, and then Elmo
Speaker 1: came along, and you should do something about that, mister President.
Speaker 1: I digress. Some people want Knives Out filmmaker Ryan Johnson
Speaker 1: to make an official Muppets version, which would be epic.
Speaker 1: This probably as close as we'll ever get. Johnson had
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter podcast that respects both the
Speaker 1: Muppet movies and Knives Out to mix them. He says
Speaker 1: that now come back in twenty years when he needs
Speaker 1: a paycheck. He says, the reality is, if you put
Speaker 1: Muppets in a Ben wa Blanc movie, it would feel
Speaker 1: totally wrong because they would be getting murdered. The alternative
Speaker 1: is just to stick Ben Wy into a Muppet movie,
Speaker 1: which admittedly would be very fun, but will kind of
Speaker 1: break the reality of what Blanc is, which is to say,
Speaker 1: I'd love to just do a regular awesome Muppet movie.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no no. Look, it's a movie.
Speaker 1: We can all handle it. We can all understand that
Speaker 1: there's no reality to this thing. We can handle it.
Speaker 1: Make this President Trump, get on that. Burt Kreischer. I
Speaker 1: like what Burke Kreischer is doing here. He will headline
Speaker 1: the first Full Throttle Festival during the Daytona five hundred weekend.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Daytona. I got to go twice.
Speaker 1: I got what's called a hot pass. What a hot
Speaker 1: pass is is you can be on pit road during
Speaker 1: the actual race. So I would be standing at NASCAR races.
Speaker 1: The series had the rights to a NASCAR and I
Speaker 1: got to go to a bunch of races as part
Speaker 1: of the cross promotional Blue Collar Radio. I found myself
Speaker 1: in Talladego one day with Jeff Foxworthy. But you're standing there,
Speaker 1: and because you have a past that says the word
Speaker 1: hot on it, you have all access. It's like sitting
Speaker 1: in the dugout in the World Series. So I was
Speaker 1: there and I was like, I appreciate this. But I
Speaker 1: know I'm not appreciative because I was looking at all
Speaker 1: these people in the stands and I'm like, oh, boy,
Speaker 1: if those people who like truly appreciate you know, I'm
Speaker 1: from Queens. I didn't grow up a NASCAR. Those people, boy,
Speaker 1: if they could be in my spot, they would lose
Speaker 1: their mind. Again, I thought it was really cool, and
Speaker 1: I was thankful, but I was just like, boy, this
Speaker 1: is the equivalent of me sitting in the Mets dugout
Speaker 1: in the World Series, Not that the Mets would ever
Speaker 1: be in the World Series, but you know, I could fantasize.
Speaker 1: I had a great time I met this dude. I've
Speaker 1: got a great picture. He was dressed head to toe
Speaker 1: in Budweiser gear. I guess he was a Dale Earnhardt
Speaker 1: junior fan, and he had a cooler. And the other
Speaker 1: thing about Daytona an hour before the race, you're allowed
Speaker 1: to sit on the track. I've got a picture of
Speaker 1: me sitting on the track drinking a Budweiser an hour
Speaker 1: before or the race of Daytona five hundred. So I
Speaker 1: love the Daytona five hundred. I have digressed again. Bert
Speaker 1: Kreischer will headline the first Full Throttle Festival during Daytona
Speaker 1: five hundred weekend, held February fourteenth, Happy Valentine's Day, Honey
Speaker 1: at the Ocean Center. The festival will include barbecue, beer,
Speaker 1: and NASCAR themed attractions. This sounds awesome. Tickets start at
Speaker 1: seventy five bucks. Full Throttle Festival dot com touted as
Speaker 1: an all night party that brings together live music, stand
Speaker 1: up comedy, beer and barbecue under one massive roof. Kraser
Speaker 1: will be joined by Leonard Skinnard and renowned DJ producer
Speaker 1: and former Daytona Beach area resident Diplow seven pm to one.
Speaker 1: Am Bert Kreisher said, Race Weekend in Daytona is the
Speaker 1: super Bowl of speed, and for me that means going
Speaker 1: absolutely massive. So I figured, why not partner with Nascord
Speaker 1: build the biggest, wildest, greatest pre race party ever. We're
Speaker 1: bringing a rock show, country show, comedy show, and the
Speaker 1: kind of barbecue and beer that would make a pit
Speaker 1: crew chief proud. Love it so much fun and to
Speaker 1: wash all this down, as if this wasn't fun enough,
Speaker 1: the Great American Beer Hall will feature an expanse of
Speaker 1: craft beer program and domestic favorites with signature cocktails, available
Speaker 1: at bars in the venue. Tickets to the Daytona five
Speaker 1: hundred are not required to attend the festival. Sounds really cool.
Speaker 1: Paul F. Tompkins has weight in on cake versus pie
Speaker 1: and says cake will always be superior to pie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the truth hurts pie people. Cake will always be superior
Speaker 1: to pie for one very simple reason, frosting. You all
Speaker 1: forgot about the frosting. Every once in a while I
Speaker 1: get some pathetic little pie person say something like, well,
Speaker 1: you could put whipped cream on a pie. Whipped cream.
Speaker 1: Don't make me laugh. You've embarrassed that both of us
Speaker 1: with that answer. You put whipped cream up against frosting.
Speaker 1: Love it. Here's how good frosting is when you eat
Speaker 1: it directly out of can you feel shame must be.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good because you're not supposed to eat it
Speaker 1: that way. What are you gonna put pie filling up
Speaker 1: against frosting? Patton Oswald, who is helping to ruin Star
Speaker 1: Trek with his awful dug the Vulcan character, President Trump,
Speaker 1: please get on this. Forbes asked Patent why the title
Speaker 1: of his special Black Coffee and Ice Water does not
Speaker 1: appear in the special and Patten said that he never
Speaker 1: puts them in the special, and I was like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: who does that? Nobody does that? Do people do that?
Speaker 1: I hope not? Batton explain, And it's kind of the
Speaker 1: overall mood at the title is more of the mood,
Speaker 1: but you never hear anything with the title in it.
Speaker 1: Batton explain. I usually generate about an hour and a
Speaker 1: half of material every year, and I'd just done a
Speaker 1: ton of films and TV shows, including Ruining Star Trek,
Speaker 1: and a lot of traveling, and my life wasn't focused
Speaker 1: on stand up for a while, maybe a little less
Speaker 1: Dug the Vulcan and a little more stand up, just
Speaker 1: saying and along with that was how hallucinatory and logical
Speaker 1: the world has been coming around us. And as a comedian,
Speaker 1: how do you take a step aside away from that
Speaker 1: and go, I'm gonna go make fun of this thing
Speaker 1: that's already kind of comedy proof in a weird way
Speaker 1: because it's already so messed up. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of that feeling in this. And on top of that,
Speaker 1: this was not a visual special, that's right, this is
Speaker 1: an audio special on Audible. I was so much freer
Speaker 1: to perform and just have it being the material. We're
Speaker 1: doing a special. All you think of the camera angles,
Speaker 1: the wardrobe lighting, how does it look? You have all
Speaker 1: that in mind. It's everything but the material. But this
Speaker 1: is just me. People are gonna hear my voice and
Speaker 1: hear the audience and how we're both relating. Being that
Speaker 1: stripped down and that simple for me, it was just fantastic.
Speaker 1: Get your nominations in for Comedy Survivor. What we're going
Speaker 1: to do in January is every week we're going to
Speaker 1: vote one comedian off the Island. So I need your
Speaker 1: nominations for who should be on Comedy Survivor. And again,
Speaker 1: remember the point isn't who wins, it's the journey. So
Speaker 1: give me good names so I have material to work with.
Speaker 1: Go to Facebook Daily Comedy News podcast group and three
Speaker 1: names in. I'll reveal on Monday who's going to be
Speaker 1: on the Island. Comedy Gives Back as a nonprofit that
Speaker 1: acts as the safety net of the comedy world, they've
Speaker 1: announced a new annual fundraising effort, the Very Good Person
Speaker 1: Year End Giving Campaign. Donations will address the challenges faced
Speaker 1: by comedians, including mental health struggles, physical health, and financial
Speaker 1: instability through various initiatives, including therapy grants, financial assistance programs,
Speaker 1: recovery meetings, and educational workshops. The org aims to ensure
Speaker 1: that stand ups at all stages of the career receive
Speaker 1: the support they need. Zoe Friedman is the organization's executive
Speaker 1: director and co founder. As Zoe said, people know the
Speaker 1: Kevin Harts and the bird crisis of the world, But
Speaker 1: for every household name, there are hundreds of working comedians
Speaker 1: you've never heard of who are grinding it out to
Speaker 1: bring laughter the world. Those are the comedians Comedy Gives
Speaker 1: Back exists to support. Zoe was a guest on episode
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five of the still titled Letterman
Speaker 1: Podcast Again. I'm hoping Mike will rename this the Conan
Speaker 1: Podcast and accept the greatness of twelve thirty. And you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes I got to leave people behind. There was a
Speaker 1: time when Rudy Giuliani was America's mayor and everybody in
Speaker 1: New York City loved him. A couple of years went by,
Speaker 1: things change. Giuliani started supporting Adam Sandler comedies and saying
Speaker 1: Seth Myers was funny, and you know some other stuff.
Speaker 1: And now people don't like Juliani as much as they did, say,
Speaker 1: you know, in the early nineties when they were in
Speaker 1: their early twenties living in New York City. I mean
Speaker 1: times change. So Mike, please rename your podcast to the
Speaker 1: Conan Podcast, and you know, give you some other stuff
Speaker 1: to talk about. Comedy Gives Back has granted one million
Speaker 1: dollars to over one thousand working comedians experiencing hardship since
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Nice job there, folks. Also a nice job
Speaker 1: by Tracy Morgan, who said he has fed over nineteen
Speaker 1: thousand families. Tracy told people he has donated more than
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars to support vulnerable households through his
Speaker 1: work with the Hacketsack Meridian Health Foundation. Tracy says, it's
Speaker 1: fun to get the love and support, but it's better
Speaker 1: when you give it back. That's what I want to
Speaker 1: teach my children more than just a great education. I
Speaker 1: want Maven and her brothers to be empathic. Tercy has
Speaker 1: a great point of view. He says, at this point
Speaker 1: in my life, spending time with my children, that's it.
Speaker 1: I don't care about nothing else in the world. Listeners
Speaker 1: to this program know that Marcelo Hernandez does two things. Well,
Speaker 1: those two things are the character he does on SNL.
Speaker 1: Every single sketch he appears, it's I mean, you can
Speaker 1: call it Domingo, but it's all the same character. And
Speaker 1: his Sebastian Manascalco impression. Well, now we'll see if Marcello
Speaker 1: has a third thing he can do. He's going to
Speaker 1: be in the cast of Shrek five. He's going to
Speaker 1: play Shrek and Fiona's son, Fergus. Now, Fergus is a
Speaker 1: Scottish name, so I assume Marcelo Hernandez is going to
Speaker 1: break out some sort of Scottish accent, right, that would
Speaker 1: make sense. Shrek five out June thirtieth, twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: The cast includes Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz
Speaker 1: reprising their roles a Shrek, Donkey and Fiona. And that
Speaker 1: is your comedy news for today. Make twelve thirty great again.
Speaker 1: See you tomorrow.
