00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Jenny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. Michael Jay and Colin Jokes apparently have a

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>good relationship, but seems there was one joke Michael Jay

4
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>didn't like. He told this story to Dana Carvey and

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>David Spade. They were curious if there was any punchline

6
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't like. Chase said, I think jalapagno business.

7
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I was pretty furious about that one. Joe said, you

8
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 1>were just upset that it worked so well. The joke

9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>in question related to a twenty fifteen Ohio criminal case,

10
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 1>which saw a woman charged with stabbing her boyfriend because

11
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 1>he ate a tub of sauca they were meant to share.

12
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Chase said, I remember and run through when you did

13
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>it because I'd never heard it before. I don't remember

14
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 1>what the setup was, but the punchline was halapano business,

15
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 1>a play on words on the saying all up in

16
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 1>your business. On the final airing, Jose recapped the crime

17
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>and concluded by saying you'd be angry too if your

18
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend was jlapagno business, and Chase said, I was like,

19
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>if you tell that joke on the air, I'm leaving

20
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>him quitting the show, and he did it on air

21
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>and it destroyed. I was so frustrated. I was like,

22
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what we'd do anymore. On the

23
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>original airing, Chase shared, first of all, I hate you

24
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 1>for laughing at that. My joke got pulled after dress

25
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>rehearsal because they said it was too offensive and way

26
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>over the line. Man. The PR people over at CNN,

27
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>they definitely worked hard at getting word out about how

28
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>I got news for you. You've got a couple of stories today,

29
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'll do some more tomorrow. Since the show airs

30
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday. And look it's canceled because it's scheduled on

31
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night. I know if anybody's gonna watch it. Micha

32
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Lee and Black told Inside Hook, I'm so plugged in,

33
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 1>like annoyingly so, I know so much about the news,

34
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>mostly as a function of being unemployed. I live on

35
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Twitter discuss even me. Black appeared in a pilot for

36
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>an NBC version of the show years ago that never

37
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>took off. When CNN came calling, he was like, why

38
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 1>see it in doing this? This doesn't make any sense

39
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 1>to me, So I asked that question to CNN. I'm like,

40
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>this doesn't make any sense, and they said they've been

41
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>airing Bill Mahers show on Saturday nights and reruns and

42
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>it'd been performing really well for them, and they saw

43
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity there and they were looking for something to

44
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>pair with it to expand their weekend programming from just

45
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Sunday Originals to Saturday Originals. Seem like a good fit,

46
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>some one was explained to me. I was like, oh,

47
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 1>you're smarter than I thought you were. They've been really

48
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 1>respectful of Roy Amber and I in terms of letting

49
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 1>us do what we want, never saying well, in the

50
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>British version they do this or they do that. I

51
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>think they're very cognizant of the fact that this has

52
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to stand on its own two legs with an American

53
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>cast doing it the way we would do it. So

54
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure the architecture of it, the way the show

55
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>is constructed, and the design and the games that are

56
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>all within it, that's all lifted from the British one.

57
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of how we executed here, they haven't

58
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>give us any notes other than go as far as

59
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 1>you want to go, which is the best possible note

60
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to receive. He said. The crew instantly connected. While filming

61
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>a test episode, even though they didn't know each other,

62
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Black says, I felt so familiar and so comfortable, and

63
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>they were so funny. It felt to me like we'd

64
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>be doing it for years. I was shocked, it really was.

65
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I think all of us have enough experience in the

66
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>format sitting on a stage, there's an audience, there's four

67
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 1>or five cameras, and you're just like shooting at the stuff.

68
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it felt natural for all of us and

69
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a very easy place to fall into. The X factor

70
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>is always like, well, what's the chemistry going to be? Like?

71
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>So far is so good. I mean they were making

72
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>fun of me. I was making fun of them. They

73
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 1>were making fun of each other. That's all you want.

74
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>That's all I want. If some tragedy or something, or

75
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 1>I should say, when there's some tragedy or something, it's

76
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>entirely possible we will be preempted that week, depending on

77
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the nature of whatever's happening, and I'd be fine with that.

78
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to get up on September thirteenth to

79
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>joke about September eleventh, you know what I mean. I

80
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 1>think my approach would be to treat the events with

81
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the seriousness they deserve. That doesn't mean you can't find

82
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the humor in them. But then there's just some things

83
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 1>that are not going to be funny, and I won't

84
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>try to make them funny. If a school shooting happens,

85
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to see me up there making armpit

86
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>fart noises over it. I'm just not The CNN press

87
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>machine got Rolling Stone to write an article. Roy Wood

88
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Junior said, I wouldn't mind RFK Junior as a guest.

89
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>It would be funny, I guarantee you that, and at

90
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>times it would be very what the f is happening,

91
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>but informative at the end of the day, and I

92
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>think that part of it's fun to see. The thing

93
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>that I'm trying to remain conscious about the American version

94
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>of this is there's still a lot of people suffering

95
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>under a lot of these policies that are quarterback by

96
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 1>people that were thrown around a pure as guests, and

97
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>so there's a way to tend of the wins of

98
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 1>the people that are in pain while creating a sense

99
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>of accountability or explaining yourself for people that have pushed

100
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>some of these policies. I don't want to laugh at

101
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>stuff that's insensitive. At the end of the day, I've

102
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>had six days to yell, curse and cry. On Saturday nights,

103
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 1>we will laugh. In the Daily Mail, Alexa Semino talks

104
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 1>about being at participant in Kill Tony. I found this

105
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>very interesting, Alexa writes. I had waited in the sign

106
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>up line on the first day of the show, even

107
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 1>convincing my editor to let me out of work early.

108
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I arrived at four pm, thinking an hour was plenty

109
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 1>of time to screw my place in line for the

110
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>five pm sign ups. I was very wrong. At least

111
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred aspiring comedians had been waiting and sweltering ninety

112
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>five degree heats since eleven am. By the time I arrived,

113
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 1>only three hundred to four hundred lean in and I

114
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>didn't make the cut that day, but I was determined

115
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the next day. I came prepared. There were only twenty

116
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 1>or so people in mind when I arrived at mid day,

117
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 1>so I was golden. I chatted with the other comics

118
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 1>who had flown in from all over the country. Wow,

119
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 1>it felt like a comedy tailgate party, where instead of football,

120
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>we discussed the kill Tony bump. Referring to the possible

121
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>career boosts that would come from being selected to perform

122
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>on the show. When it was time to sign up,

123
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 1>we were herded like cattle through metal detectors made to

124
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>sign waivers. We were given wristbands and ushered beneath the

125
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>arena on the left side of the stage. Especial section

126
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>was reserved for comics who had entered their names in

127
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the bucket. A live man fired up the crowd. The

128
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>show kicked off as Tony began explaining the bucket poll system.

129
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>That's when I realized I had willingly signed up for

130
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 1>three hours of anxiety because no one knew who was

131
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be called. I whipped out my trusty red

132
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Joke book, frantically flipping through the pages and knowing I'd

133
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>be so shocked I'd probably forget my own name. I

134
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>needed to strategically select jokes that were second nature, like

135
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>the kind of jokes I knew so well I could

136
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>recite them in my sleep. Eventually, her nerves calm because

137
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>she's not being called, and then she writes it turns

138
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>out my chances of being called were far higher than

139
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.639
<v Speaker 1>I thought, for one reason. I was a woman. Tony

140
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>wanted a woman and had one last bucket poll left

141
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 1>for Saturday night show, so he kept drawing names until

142
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 1>he found one mine. I was rushed backstage by the

143
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>production crew. My face pale, my hand's trembling. The production

144
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>assistant laid down the law. Don't touch the judges, don't

145
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 1>go over your time. When you hear a kittens me

146
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 1>owt from the soundboard, wrap it up, Tony says, make

147
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>some noise for Alexa Semino. I walked up the stairs,

148
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>picked up the signature red microphone, looked out to the

149
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 1>sea of twenty thousand faces stretching out before me. You

150
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 1>could hear a pin drop. I launched it into my set.

151
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 1>The words tumbled out with a confidence I didn't know

152
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>I possessed. The crowds laughter echoed throughout the arena. In

153
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>comedy terms, I had killed it. I managed to banter

154
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 1>with Shane Gillis, dressed as Donald Trump. I was awarded

155
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>a big Joke book, a prestigious symbol that the bucket

156
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 1>pull had impressed the judges. Stepping off the stage, I

157
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 1>was greeted by some of the most famous names in comedy.

158
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>After the show, I was bombarded with congratulations autograph requests

159
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 1>and so much love, especially from female audience members. It

160
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 1>took me nearly an hour to leave the venue. In

161
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks I'll find out if the Kiltny bump

162
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is real or if we'll be back to climbing the

163
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>stand up ladder from scratch again. I gotta remember to

164
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>watch those shows. The MSG shows are up on YouTube now.

165
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 1>You know this football like nine nights a week now.

166
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 1>There aren't nine nights in a week, John, There's like

167
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>football like eight nights a week now, and I was

168
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>having a time to watch kil Tony. But the MSG

169
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>shows are definitely up there out today. Anna Valenzuela's a

172
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Lauren Michaels entitled Lauren Then, who invented Saturday Night Live.

173
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Get ready for nine solid months of SNL talk starting

174
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 1>with this movie ending with the fiftieth anniversary show. This

175
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>new book, written by Susan Morrison from The New Yorker,

176
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>will introduce you to him in full for the first time,

177
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 1>with unprecedented access to Michaels, who has spent his career

178
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 1>mostly avoiding reporters and the entire SNL apparatus. The New

179
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Yorker's Susan Morrison takes you behind the curtain for the rollicking,

180
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>definitive story of how Lorne created the institution that would

181
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 1>change comedy forever. Sidebar Mark Maron had lorn On at

182
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 1>one point, I think two episodes worth, maybe only one.

183
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 1>That was a great listen. I know Maren put stuff

184
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>behind the paywall after a while. I don't know if

185
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that's still available, but that was really good if you

186
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>can still get it. Other people interviewed in the book

187
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Steve Martin, Chris Rock, Amy Poehler,

188
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 1>and Jason Sadeikas, Bill Hayter Buck, Henry Chevy, Chase and Moore.

189
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 1>The book will be out in February. Forbes spoke to

190
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Caroline Hirsch, who used to own Caroline's Comedy Club in

191
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Caroline Hirsch is a big part of the New York

192
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Festival. They spoke to her about how comedians dress.

193
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Airlines said to me many many years ago, Robin Williams

194
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>always presents it himself in kind of a you know,

195
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 1>it was a cool way on stage in the beginning,

196
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 1>he wore T shirts with suspenders. It was kind of

197
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 1>his look after get rid of the Hawaiian shirts. Later

198
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 1>he was a very chic dresser. She says. JB. Smooth

199
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>is the coolest dresser around. Tracy Morgan also make sure

200
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>he's dressed to the nines. Kevin Hard as well is

201
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>dressed to the nines. Those guys really do out there

202
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and make sure they have a look, very very much

203
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a look on what they do. Caroline says, once comedians

204
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>get the means, they dress up, that's their thing. I

205
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>watch people go from jeans and T shirt to there

206
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 1>are many suits. You could see the transition of people

207
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>going through it. Her favorite is when comedians wear bling.

208
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like do they dress up so people take

209
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 1>them more seriously or is it a way to show

210
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>their status that they've made it. It's really about making it.

211
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 1>Look at Nikki Glazer, she's impeccantly dressed on stage all

212
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 1>the time. As for the now closed Caroline's Comedy Club,

213
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 1>she says, it lives on through the festival. That's what

214
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>we've been doing. And look, when the news went out

215
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>that we were closing club, I had so many offers

216
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 1>from different real estate people around New York saying, Oh,

217
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>come work with us, open another club. But I needed

218
00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 1>sign a step back a bit, and we've been exploring

219
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>other ideas about the Caroline's brand. Speaking of the well

220
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 1>dressed JB Smooth, The Port City Daily caught up with JB,

221
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>who said, people forget how short life is, and people

222
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 1>really focus on too much stuff that keeps them stagnant

223
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:13.799
<v Speaker 1>and keeps them at a certain mindset for a long

224
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>time until they realize that being in that mindset has

225
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>affected them long term. By the time they get to

226
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 1>a certain age, they realize they can't fix it. They

227
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.639
<v Speaker 1>can't repair it because they're locked into it. They presented

228
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>someone to everybody and now everybody knows them as that

229
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 1>personality and that person. But if you can't find a

230
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>way to laugh, find a place in there for humor

231
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and growth, we're in trouble. And I think comedy is

232
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.159
<v Speaker 1>a departure from the normal world. You should put your

233
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>phones away and be in the moment with somebody. It's

234
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of like an intervention. We as humans have definitely

235
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>attached ourselves to a different speed of the world, and

236
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 1>there's something really intimit about a setting like comedy when

237
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 1>somebody leans forward in their chair and I'm like, oh,

238
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I got them. That's the fun thing about stand up man,

239
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>sat yourself to the heartbeat, and that it's your comedy

240
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 1>news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a

241
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:52.519

00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.759
<v Speaker 1>would like this program without commercial interruption, there's a link

244
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Have an awesome day, See you tomorrow.
