WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>daily comedy news. Remember Louis Ck did some stuff and

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>then we canceled him and we never heard from him again. Well,

4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>he's kicking off a year long tour April seventeenth, with

5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>two sold out dates in Winnipeg, Canada. The tour continues

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>through April fourth, twenty twenty six. I didn't misspeak there. Yeah,

7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>this is going to go on for a year. Ck

8
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>had done an email blast explaining to his fans, I'm

9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 1>working out many clubs now. He played a club right

10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>in my town. I didn't know that it was happening

11
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>until it was quite sold out, and plus I think

12
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I was heading on vacation somewhere, so it's kind of like, eh,

13
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll just stay home. That reminds me though, I should

14
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>probably check in to see who is playing that place.

15
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 1>Just checked. Nobody super major. They've added, but they've got

16
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Rachel and Adrian. Okay, not too bad. See Kay's that

17
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm working out in many clubs now and through the

18
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>next few months, getting the new joke stories in general

19
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>stupidities ready for the tour. I took about two years

20
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>off before this tour, and I'm very glad I did.

21
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm having a great time on stage now and I'm

22
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 1>excited to share this crap with all of you. I

23
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>hope you can come because I like you and I'm

24
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>not afraid of you. C K signed off the email blast,

25
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>happy to be lucky to be alive. For those of

26
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you wondering what I've been doing, I've taken up sculpture

27
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 1>at clay and stone and drawing with charcoal. I've written

28
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>a novel and I'm working on a second. That about

29
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>wraps it up on me. But it's true. It's the

30
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>part of the brain that knows how to reflexively care

31
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>for child because it isn't as easy as babysitting. Like

32
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 1>it's your mother's intuition. Those are the eyes in the

33
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 1>back of your head, all those senses that are in

34
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>fact over developed because you're inflamed when you become a mom.

35
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's the reason why I can anticipate what my

36
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 1>child might need, or why a mom can do that.

37
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>So while you're out looking for your phone, you're still

38
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>making sure your child doesn't fall or grab a knife.

39
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>So does a give and take. I often forget to

40
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>use a turn signal now, but at least I know

41
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>my daughter's favorite foods a late times. How do you

42
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>balance mom brain with comedy. I don't know if it's

43
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a balance. A balance just suggests you haven't fallen so

44
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>off killed that you're in some sort of mental facility.

45
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>And I know that women often get asked about that

46
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>there is no balance, it's just doing it. I just

47
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>get up, I put one foot in front of the other,

48
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and I do the best I can. And I know

49
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>from watching other moms, I've decided it never come down

50
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>too hard on myself, like you're really doing the best

51
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>you can, and the good news is your kid doesn't

52
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>know any better, and just do it to the best

53
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>of your ability, knowing that you'll be faulted for much

54
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 1>in the way you faulted your parents anything you did

55
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 1>and didn't do. Anyway, we might as well have let

56
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>them have that cookie. Eliza said. They consistency of getting

57
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>up in those clubs year after year and knowing everyone.

58
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>That's the one consistent thing in my life over the

59
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 1>last twenty years, and it's always been something that brought

60
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>me such joy, and I love my fans so much.

61
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 1>The heart is broken when you're not with your kids,

62
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and then when you're with them, you're like, oh, I

63
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>need a break. But it's a weird thing, like you've

64
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>become two different people. When I leave home to do

65
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the shows, I just have to know that my heart

66
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>is in pieces. But I got this amazing job. But

67
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't say that I get the joy from being

68
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 1>on the road the way I did before. Like I've

69
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>been to Pittsburgh, I've been to Austin. I've been to

70
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 1>the gift shops. I've been to the bars, beating the steak.

71
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>All I want to do when I get off stage

72
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>just to go to sleep so I can get home

73
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the next day. That's called turning forty. Eliza, welcome to

74
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the club. I don't know how old Eliza as. How

75
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 1>old is Eliza forty two? Yeah? You turned forty, That's

76
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>what happened there. You just want to go to bed.

77
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>I got to a point where if you start a

78
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 1>census with, hey, man, do you want to go to No?

79
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't care what the rest of the

80
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>sentence is. And you know the odds of you going

81
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>see the Rolling Stones. I have backstage passes. Then I'd

82
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh wait, oh, no, yeah, I can't go.

83
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, Hey, John, do you want

84
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>to know? I just want to sit home watch TV.

85
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm old. That's why I really like a friend of

86
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the show, Jason's intimate, who has counseled me that you

87
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>know it's okay to watch a comedy clip online. Thank you,

88
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Jason Zinitaman. In front of the show, Liza said, when

89
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>you're a woman, you're always gonna get asked more about

90
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 1>your children than men do. And for me that was

91
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a stutter step, because even to begin

92
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about something as life changing, life affirming and life

93
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>shattering as having kids, these are waters that you've never

94
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>navigated before. And I've gotten horrific comics like You're not

95
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about your kids, are you, which is disheartening

96
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>because men get to do that and it's like, oh,

97
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>that's so charming, give them a sitcom, but when women

98
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 1>do it, it seemed like, ah, well, she's unaffable now

99
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 1>she has kids. That's not gonna be for me. I'm

100
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>just reacting to that. I don't think that way, but

101
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess people that's awful. Eliza says, I also have

102
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of hot takes about other things. So for me,

103
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 1>the commentary on being a mom is less about the

104
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 1>specissivity of an interaction with my child and more commentary

105
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 1>on societies commentary on women having kids, And with that

106
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 1>I keep it to a minimum. So I'm still blown

107
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>away with experience that I'm having. I haven't processed it

108
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>all yet, so in five years I'll complain about the kids.

109
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Bert Kreischerho spoke to Las Vegas Magazine. Bert shared, I

110
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 1>think it's always been clear that have been drawn to

111
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 1>tragic characters like Chris Farley and John Belushi, But when

112
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I got into comedy, everyone seemed to be on the

113
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>straight and narrow. I didn't meet Ron White until later

114
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>in life, and it's hell quit drinking pretty quickly into

115
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>me doing stand up. I think if you're wondering who

116
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>my canary in the mind is, that, of course is

117
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Doug Stanhope some folks that Burt enjoys. Tim Dillon makes

118
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>me laugh hard as s Theo Vaughn and Staffers Halkias.

119
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>He never do a bad podcast with same with Big

120
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 1>Jay Ogerson and Dan Soder, all those guys is absolutely

121
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>deliver when they're on a podcast. Ali reporter asked Andrew

122
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Schultz about comedy Gatekeeping, pointing out it used to be

123
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Carson than Letterman. Who's it now? Everybody say it together?

124
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 1>On three one two three, Joe Rogan Andrew said, I

125
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 1>think it's Rogan and Kill Tony Tony Hitch close show,

126
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 1>especially for new comics. I'll hear reporter, what are you

127
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>all called the maniverse? The manisphere? Andrew, the manisphere. It's

128
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 1>so funny. I guess we're that we're a bunch of

129
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>guys that we're just having locker room talk or whatever

130
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the f that term is. I think the tricky thing

131
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>is when we get labeled in certain ways, like ah,

132
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 1>they're all sexist, racist bigots, and I'm like, I'm not

133
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna have some writer from Maine to tell me I'm racist. Stop.

134
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I know you didn't grow up with anybody but white people,

135
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>but I know you got this NPR job or whatever,

136
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think you need to tell me how

137
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to be an ally. This happened with Bernie Sanders. When

138
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Bernie caught steam, the Democratic Party tried to suppress him

139
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 1>a bit, and they started labeling his followers the Bernie Bros.

140
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, he has a sexist problem and a

141
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 1>bigotry problem, all these same things. Then the second had

142
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>started seemingly being helpful for Trump. It was the same playbook.

143
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 1>People getting privy of that. I don't think it's advantageous

144
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 1>for that to be used. Paraphrasing here from the Holler reporter, Hey, look, Andrew,

145
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 1>some people think you helped Trump get elected. Andrews said, listen,

146
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>for every election, we want two candidates that we love.

147
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that'd be awesome. Me and Charlie, Me and

148
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the God who have been doing brilliant idiots for ten years.

149
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Charola Maine's close with Kamala. He had Comma on the pod.

150
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 1>I had Trump. We're boys for ten years. We're talking

151
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 1>crap about politics every single week. It doesn't matter to me.

152
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>That's the version of America you want to see. You

153
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>want to see you guys who might have somewhat differing ideas,

154
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.319
<v Speaker 1>but it can cross the aisle tons. I up as

155
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat my whole effing life. I grew up in

156
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the arts in New York. My family had a dance studio.

157
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I was going to the ballet. So to me, that's

158
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the best version of what we can be. We're all

159
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>talking crap to each other, making fun of each other,

160
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and then we're disagreeing on how unconstitutional Doge might be.

161
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Vir does broke to Yahoo Canada, where he finds his

162
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>audience is usually made up of around sixty percent Indians.

163
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Vier says, I think a lot of people coming for

164
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>two reasons. Maybe the Indians are coming in because they

165
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 1>want to get caught up with home, because they miss home,

166
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 1>and I'm kind of bringing home to them. Large part

167
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 1>of the audience their parents are from where I'm from,

168
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's not the place I'm actually from. What I

169
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>find is a lot of Indians they kind of grew

170
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 1>up with this time capsule version of India that their

171
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 1>parents left behind. So if your mom and dad came

172
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>to Canada in seventy five, that's what you grew up

173
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 1>believing India was. You know, when you're twenty one years

174
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 1>old and it's my job to come in and be like, no,

175
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm from Mumbai. This is what we do think your

176
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.879
<v Speaker 1>parents told. He was a lie. This is modern India

177
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and we're hopefully a little more fun and a little

178
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 1>more audacious than you thought. Blood Yellow dot Com is

179
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 1>your home for comedy news, And they told the story

180
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 1>of the time John Jones almost made Jim Norton pass

181
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 1>out with a leg kick stunt. Yes we're talking UFC.

182
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>John Jones was out promoting UFC one forty. He appeared

183
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Opian Anthony radio show. Part of the show

184
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 1>was a running gag where Norton would allow a fighter

185
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 1>to put him in submission hold. Jim offered to take

186
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a kick from John Jones. Jones lined up through what

187
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>appeared to be a kick far from full power. Jim

188
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>immediately let everyone in the studio know he was in

189
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>severe pain. Norton's first words were that he feels like

190
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I have to cramp. Norton reflected on the moment on

191
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a podcast with Dan Soder. Hurt me so much, I

192
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>almost vomited. I remember I had the urged a crap

193
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 1>and to throw up. I remember he sent me back

194
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>in a shock. He put a shit into my thigh

195
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 1>and it was fight week two, a bad week, and

196
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>he also choked me. I remember I went to the

197
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>bathroom and I was like, I think I'm going to

198
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.079
<v Speaker 1>pass out. Jolt News caught up with comedian Sam Miller,

199
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 1>who can work both clean and dirty. Miller said there's

200
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of comics that I think it's not really

201
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>art if you have to follow rules. I'm very proud

202
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.319
<v Speaker 1>that I can switch back and forth, because a lot

203
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 1>of other comics can't work clean. I don't mind at all.

204
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Sam starred in comedy through the Twelve Steps program, explaining

205
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I never thought that comedy was like a thing for

206
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a guy like me. It didn't seem like it was possible.

207
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought there was no way people would laugh at

208
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. I don't talk about these issues with an

209
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>air of shame. There's nothing to be ashamed about. Addiction

210
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.319
<v Speaker 1>is a disease, and the AMA says it's a disease.

211
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 1>People wanted it to be better immediately, but there are

212
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>no easy solutions. There's so much stigma on being a

213
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 1>drug addict and homeless, and then you start talking to

214
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>people and realize even though drug addiction was a very

215
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>personal problem for me, it's a very visible, public, social,

216
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and political problem. Comedy is a jovial place where we

217
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>can all laugh together and create amity and camaraderie. And

218
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Jason Alexander was recently on Tom Poppa's podcast and Jason said,

219
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>here's the truth. It's kind of a weird truth. The

220
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 1>only one of the core for I really got to

221
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 1>know over the nine years of Seinfeld was Julia. Jason

222
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>said he became more aware of how he knew Michael

223
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Richards after reading Richard's book. Jason said, I got in

224
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>touch with him and I said, I love the book.

225
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 1>But here's what's said. I don't think I met this guy.

226
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>You were doing stuff I wasn't even aware of. Jason explains,

227
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Michael's process was so isolated in some ways, and I

228
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 1>didn't want any interfere with that process. Jason says that

229
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Seinfeld didn't open up to his castmates at all.

230
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't find that the least bit surprising, but Jason

231
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>explains that Jerry wasn't just acting. He was working on

232
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>other aspects of the show. He came down, we had fun,

233
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>We enjoyed each other, and it was a lot of laughs,

234
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and I know some things about what was going on

235
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 1>his life, but I wasn't a confidant. He's down, he's

236
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>rehearsing with us, and then he's in the editing room,

237
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>or he's in the casting office, or he's writing, he's

238
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>doing something else. So I didn't hang out with Jerry

239
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and as a result, I don't really know him all that. Well,

240
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of sad, isn't it, Like I get it? Uh.

241
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 1>And if you ever met Jerry, I wouldn't use the

242
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 1>word warm. He's not a douche. He's just like he's

243
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly what you think he is. Like he comes in,

244
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 1>he's not impressed, he doesn't want anything. He's not like, hey,

245
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I gotta have a bottle of champagne. He's just there

246
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.919
<v Speaker 1>to do the job. Doesn't want to be your friend.

247
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>He'll fist bump you. Not looking to take selfie's not

248
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.279
<v Speaker 1>looking to hang out, doesn't want to talk about Seinfeld.

249
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 1>But again, not a jerky way, just like I'm here

250
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 1>to do business. Let's doer thing. Okay, all right, that

251
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 1>was great, guys, See you later, Annie Leaves. Jason did

252
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>say if any Seinfeld cast members needed any help, Jerry

253
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 1>would be there for them in a second, but clarified

254
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>they had a work friendship, not a social friendship. And

255
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy

256
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the program, tell a friend about it. They might like

257
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.039
<v Speaker 1>it too. One way you could support the show is

258
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna buy me a coffee. Dot com a slash daily

259
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 1>comedy news have been really into the pistachio with the

260
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 1>National Donuts Chaine. I'll take your money and I'll buy

261
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 1>one of those. Or if you'd like to take that

262
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 1>five bucks and get the show commercial free. You know,

263
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.240
