Speaker 1: Gould's Hanging with Doctor Zevie, Planet of the Apes themed
Speaker 1: talk show. I'm sure I legally distinct at this point.
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by Tight and Nerdy, which is described as
Speaker 1: a weird al burlesque that's a lot of fun. Forty
Speaker 1: eight Hills was excited about it. They highlighted a couple shows.
Speaker 1: They're intrigued by the women of SNL, Joel Kim Booster's

Speaker 1: they're big Joel Kim Booster fans. They're also intrigued by
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth anniversary of Wet Hot American Summer, and
Speaker 1: they spotlighted Mark mothers Baw, who apparently is from Devo.
Speaker 1: The performance centers around Mark's huge body of work making
Speaker 1: music and film and television, and Alex Bennett, not only
Speaker 1: friend of the show friend in real life, previous guest
Speaker 1: on this very podcast, Alex be who's now eighty five.
Speaker 1: He'll be at Cobbs on January thirty. First, all right,
Speaker 1: Alex Bennett, you go, people caught up with John mulaney.
Speaker 1: John mlanie's out there hawking his non alcoholic beer years.
Speaker 1: Mulaney wearing dark sunglasses. Interesting, must have been sunny out
Speaker 1: said authenticity. It takes years year's beer fake beer for
Speaker 1: recovering alcoholics and regular people. I trigger a lot of these,
Speaker 1: and you know you don't get messed up from it.
Speaker 1: Malini told people it's very personal. The look of the can,
Speaker 1: the sweatshirts, the ads, it's all designed by a tight
Speaker 1: knit group who really believe in this boy, John m'laney.
Speaker 1: If Jim Gaffigan said that sentence, I'd probably do ten
Speaker 1: minutes on him. We're once again told the talking point
Speaker 1: that for jungk it's less about swapping out alcohol and
Speaker 1: more about safering familiar moments from backyard hangs to rigally
Speaker 1: Field summer nights with something that feels authentic. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna point out something that feels authentic, isn't It
Speaker 1: just feels authentic? So support John mulaney's non alcoholic beer
Speaker 1: with something that feels authentic but isn't m'lani said, as
Speaker 1: someone who used to drink non alcoholic beer, isn't a substitute.
Speaker 1: What's awesome about Years is this familiar Midwestern vibe being
Speaker 1: in a fishing boat with your grandpa or in someone's backyard.
Speaker 1: It almost hits like nostalgia. Maline told people, this is
Speaker 1: all happening like a twenty five minute walk from the
Speaker 1: house I grew up in. So this is a Chicago
Speaker 1: company coming out of a great brewing company here, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels like the kind of beer I enjoyed as
Speaker 1: a teenager, now able to enjoy it as a sober adult.
Speaker 1: People was totally on board with the shilling. Here they
Speaker 1: tell us whether it's a pilsner, a pale l where
Speaker 1: the new Belgian whit beer. Mullaney calls Years beer energy
Speaker 1: without the beer the perfect fit for gatherings from friendsgiving
Speaker 1: to the driveway hang. You know, if they did have
Speaker 1: non alcoholic beer a trivia night, I would have some.
Speaker 1: Last week, By the way we won trivia, I was
Speaker 1: as stunned as anybody. We were doing well and the
Speaker 1: trivia guys in the announced the winners. They go third, second, first,
Speaker 1: and they said they had to use the tiebreaker and
Speaker 1: I was like, ah, we probably finished fourth because we
Speaker 1: knew we got the tiebreaker wrong. And I'm like, ah,
Speaker 1: we probably just missed. Oh well. And then they flashed
Speaker 1: third and then they flashed second, leaving only one team,
Speaker 1: which was us, and I was like, we won. We
Speaker 1: somehow won by four points. I was shocked. My team
Speaker 1: was shocked. I think the trivia guys were shocked. They
Speaker 1: were happy for us because we go every week and
Speaker 1: never win. As much as I'll humble break about my
Speaker 1: football pool skills, trivia, we always finish like tenth. I mean,
Speaker 1: am I going to say that the guys in the
Speaker 1: back corner table one, we're in table two. Am I
Speaker 1: going to say the people that sit in table one
Speaker 1: have their phones out? I'm not going to say that
Speaker 1: trivia guys. I'm not team that won two weeks in
Speaker 1: a row recently. I'm not gonna say they had their
Speaker 1: phones out. Why would somebody cheat at trivia? That would
Speaker 1: be insane. That would be like Jim Gaffigan not calling
Speaker 1: back someone who helped his career. Why wouldn't anyone behave
Speaker 1: like that, so I'm not gonna accuse anyone to have
Speaker 1: their phones out anyway, if they had a non alcoholic
Speaker 1: beer at the brewery, which would kind of defeat the
Speaker 1: purpose of having a brewery, I would have one. So
Speaker 1: I feel you John Mulaney who said it's not fancy,
Speaker 1: it's a grown up drink for people who just want
Speaker 1: to enjoy themselves and still remember it the next day. Amen,
Speaker 1: I feel you on that. So I had one beer
Speaker 1: last week and we won trivia. Speaking of Jim Gaffigan,
Speaker 1: he was catching up with The Today Show and said
Speaker 1: raising children is one of the most important things that
Speaker 1: I will fail at. And then, of course, because he's
Speaker 1: Jim Gaffigan, and nothing Jim Gaffigan does is just straight
Speaker 1: up go. In his social media he only postedly is
Speaker 1: trying to sell you something, So of course, Jim Gaffigan said,
Speaker 1: each batch of father Time Bourbon is a tribute to
Speaker 1: the pains associated with each child. You're trying too hard, Jim, like,
Speaker 1: that's as much as I'll buster chops. That's too much
Speaker 1: to slip that in on the Today Show. It's actually lame.
Speaker 1: Jim said, I have five children that I've been able
Speaker 1: to raise because of stand up, and from what I've observed,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna make any money. And it makes me realize,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there are any other parents out
Speaker 1: there that my final task of parenting is to leave
Speaker 1: them with nothing. Maybe it's a romantic notion, but I
Speaker 1: want them to pay for my casket. Kevin Hart, never
Speaker 1: afraid to work, he has teamed up with Keenan Thompson
Speaker 1: for a new sports talk show on Prime Video. It's

Speaker 1: good at it just handing in basic copies, saying the
Speaker 1: duo will bring their signature, unfiltered opinions and electrifying energy
Speaker 1: to the series, including their hilarious takes on everything from
Speaker 1: the NFL and NBA to neighborhood pickup games and little
Speaker 1: league drama. Kevin Hart said, Keenan and I are bringing
Speaker 1: our own playbook for good Sports, and that's a guaranteed win.
Speaker 1: The show gives us a chance to celebrate sports culture
Speaker 1: in a way that's fresh, unfielded, and full of laughs.
Speaker 1: With our partners at Prime Video, We're bringing the energy
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of love for the game, Keenan said,
Speaker 1: doing the Olympics with Kevin while but this, this is
Speaker 1: next level good Sports. Is just us being ourselves, cracking
Speaker 1: jokes and probably pulling muscles we didn't know we had.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good time. Gossip Connor whispers in
Speaker 1: the street, gossip con, probably bout Pete gossip conn Aware
Speaker 1: the rumors meet with Johnny Macott's always a tree. Gossip
Speaker 1: Connor whispers this tree, gossip con probably gossip gone. Where
Speaker 1: the rooms meet with Johnny Magsola's a tree. That is
Speaker 1: one hack of a catchy song made by Ai. By
Speaker 1: the way, that is just amazing. All right, on gossip Corner,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about Pete today, We're talking about Amy Schumer.
Speaker 1: I hope everything is okay here. People magazine reporting Amy
Speaker 1: Schumer and husband Chris Fisher are working through normal issues
Speaker 1: in their marriage, according to a source. The source told
Speaker 1: People they're probably working through normal issues the couples in
Speaker 1: long term marriages have. They're both committed to the relationship.
Speaker 1: Amy and husband Chris got married in twenty eighteen. Schumer
Speaker 1: appeared to respond to speculation about her marriage and an
Speaker 1: Instagram story on November sixth. She had shared a picture
Speaker 1: of New York City and praised Hulu's new series All's
Speaker 1: Fair and captured it and Chris and I are still
Speaker 1: married now. After that, Amy deleted all her Instagram posts.
Speaker 1: So maybe that's a clue as to why Amy deleted
Speaker 1: all the posts. Who knows, again, I do I know
Speaker 1: this a little on my voice. I hope everything's okay.
Speaker 1: Like I'm a knucklehead, I'm rascally, but I'm not an
Speaker 1: a hole. I don't want anyone's marriage to break up.
Speaker 1: If Amy starts selling a bourbon or a non alcoholic beer.
Speaker 1: I will make fun of her, but not for this.
Speaker 1: I hope your marriage is okay. YouTube had a big
Speaker 1: hey look at us performance there. They announced a late
Speaker 1: night show. We'll talk about that in a second. Trevor
Speaker 1: Noah was at this thing. Trevor sung the praises of YouTube,
Speaker 1: touting its global reach that it was massive even when
Speaker 1: I joined The Daily Show. For instance, I put The
Speaker 1: Daily Show on YouTube, which a lot of people were
Speaker 1: confused by. They were like, but you're on a channel,
Speaker 1: and it was like, yes, but that's not where the
Speaker 1: eyeballs are. To my detriment, because people were like, I
Speaker 1: love your show on YouTube, and I was like, that
Speaker 1: doesn't help the ratings, but it helped the show funny enough,
Speaker 1: and I think that's something I've always loved Over time.
Speaker 1: I cannot see any other possibility than a creator run
Speaker 1: economy and a creator run world where the audience, the brands,
Speaker 1: and the creators themselves operate in beautiful verticals that aren't
Speaker 1: like they once were. It's not a slam against anyone else.
Speaker 1: It's just that things evolve over time. You know, at
Speaker 1: some point we all used to listen to music that
Speaker 1: was just on the radio. Now you can stream your song,
Speaker 1: your album, your music, And I think music has been
Speaker 1: better for it many ways. It means you get to
Speaker 1: enjoy what you enjoy and then discover things in and
Speaker 1: around it, and I'm really excited for all that. He
Speaker 1: talked about YouTube's advantages, saying the person can meet the
Speaker 1: content when they need to meet the content, the content
Speaker 1: can meet them when they need to where someone We've
Speaker 1: just seen this in legacy media. Great TV shows have
Speaker 1: died just because they were put in the wrong time slot. Coincidentally,
Speaker 1: Trevor Noah announced a new special which will be on

Speaker 1: street corners, leading into the spontaneity that define Shapiro Bornum's
Speaker 1: online presence. And you're out in a park, can't that
Speaker 1: like really be disrupted? Like I could drive by with
Speaker 1: a megaphone and just start yelling daily comedy, news or
Speaker 1: whatever political cause I'm into or not. Have you guys
Speaker 1: thought this one through? This is the same note to
Speaker 1: give them a any people, there's a reason these shows
