1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga shark media heavy Thanksgiving.

2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Jonathan Kite

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 2>has been doing these impressions of Anthony Bourdaine. He posted

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>them on threads at Jonathan Kite. He goes to actual locations,

5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 2>he dresses up like Boardane. He does a great Boordaine impression.

6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>He's got the body type to pull it off too.

7
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I was watching this one that I'm about to play

8
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>for you, and I was like, even if I did

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 2>a great Boardine, I don't have the right body type

10
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 2>at all. I could never pull off toll and Lean.

11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>But Jonathan Kite has this thing down. I'm gonna go

12
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 2>a little longer with this one than I normally do

13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>because it is Thanksgiving themed, and you know Kite's putting

14
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 2>He's up on social media, so I don't think he's

15
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>really trying to monetize them. I come in peace, really

16
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>like your work. But here's Jonathan Kite as Anthony Bourdain.

17
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to America's Endless Harvest and the Feast of all

18
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you can eat Golden Corral, where Pilgrim's progress meets the

19
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Age of consumption. Because here Thanksgiving isn't a holiday. It's

20
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a lifestyle, a face style. So buckle up, throw on

21
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>your stretchy pants. This is manifest destiny. It's the United

22
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Plates of America, and at sixteen ninety nine ahead you

23
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>get liberal portions at conservative prices. As is tradition, we

24
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 1>begin with the bird, our annual sacrifice. The golden butter

25
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 1>soap turkey glistens under heat lamps that could tan a corpse,

26
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and like Travis Kelcey's dating history, you can enjoy both

27
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 1>white and dark meat. The first Thanksgiving was a fragile

28
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>truce between worlds to survive the Hunger Games of sixteen

29
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Today we gather with loved ones just trying

30
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to survive each other. Left wing, right wing. It's all

31
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 1>the same bird.

32
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely fantastic. Jonathan Kite is his name, Give him a follow.

33
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian Manuscalco, he spoke with us weekly. He had a

34
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>cooking show, remember that it was called Well Done with

35
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian manusuks Alco on Food Network. And now in hindsight,

36
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm realizing I didn't make nearly as much fun of

37
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>that as I should have. I should almost go back.

38
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>If we ever have another pandemic and I need a

39
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>bit like George Lopez Tacos. Maybe I'll just critique well

40
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>done with Sebastian Manascalco on Food Network. But hopefully we

41
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>won't have another pandemic and I won't have to do that.

42
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>But as you know, it's this is a food story

43
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>and it's Thanksgiving. I do put these shows together. A

44
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian said, I became passionate about cooking around the time

45
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I met my wife. I like cooking because it's similar

46
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>to comedy and that you're doing it alone and making

47
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>stupid faces for no reason. If it sucks, it's your fault.

48
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>If it's great, it's your fault. Same thing with stand up.

49
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>It's very therapeutic for me to go into the kitchen

50
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>and get lost in the sauce. I do a beautiful

51
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>French toast. The next thing I want to master is pizza.

52
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Switching to comedy. You have to live in everyday life

53
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>to extract humor, and that's why I'm an active parent.

54
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I drop my kids off at school, I go to

55
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the soccer games. I'm taking my kid to gymnastics. You

56
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>find a lot of humor in those things. You do

57
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 2>have to be cautious about talking about some of the

58
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>fancy things you do. I went to the Oscars, but

59
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>my Oscar story is not one of fame and fortune.

60
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.879
<v Speaker 2>It's me sitting up at the third balcony while everybody

61
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 2>from Greenbrook is accepting the Oscar. When I was announced

62
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 2>on the red carpet, it was a bathroom break for

63
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 2>the photographers. They were cleaning their lenses. Ryan Seacrest was

64
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>there with his camera guy in lights on a pedestal,

65
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>and they take me all the way down to the

66
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>guy who's a one man shop with his iPhone and

67
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>is from the Ecuador Times. So four dot com spoke

68
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>to Fortune Femmester about taking care of Biscuits. That's the

69
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 2>name of her tour. She said it came to me

70
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>as something that lets people know they're in for a good,

71
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>silly time. She said, Now, at all the cities I

72
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>go to, people are dropping biscuits off, and I'm grateful,

73
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>but I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have to name my

74
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>next tour taking care of Salads, because it's a lot

75
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>of biscuits right now. One Instagram video showed Fortune in

76
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 2>her green room. The room was filled with biscuits from

77
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>heart Ease Biscuit shaped pillows custom merch. She said that

78
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>was all a surprise. My writer is so boring. I

79
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 2>literally asked for water, ice and a cup. I used

80
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>to have big, extravagant green rooms, but then I was

81
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 2>never hungry, and I felt like I was being super

82
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>wasteful because normally I either eat before or after. The

83
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 2>show asked for her biscuit preferences. Her favorites are a loaded, savory,

84
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 2>yummy biscuit with fried chicken, pimento cheese, and a little honey,

85
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>or just the opposite, just a jelly biscuit. I'm trash,

86
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>so I love grape jelly. If Fortune Feamster could only

87
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>eat one thing twenty four seven three sixty five, it

88
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>would be pad thaie. She says, I went to Thailand

89
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>and ate pad tie for a week and a half

90
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>straight and did not get tired of it. I love

91
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 2>it so much, I think I could do it. I

92
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>could just eating it forever. I usually get it with chicken,

93
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>but if I were gonna eat it every day, I'd

94
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>try to switch it up, try some shrimp or tofu

95
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>or bounce back and forth. All right, Fortune was the

96
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>first thing you learned how to cook grilled cheese. But

97
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I learned by doing it wrong. I was babysitting and

98
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 2>the kid won a grilled cheese to turn the oven on.

99
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>And he was like, why are you turning the oven on?

100
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>And I said, I don't know baking it. He told

101
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>me just throw in a pan or the toaster oven.

102
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>It was too much for me. You don't need to

103
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>go throw that for a grilled cheese. But he was right.

104
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty old to learn that. Like sixteen more

105
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 2>food stories from Fortune. It's Thanksgiving, you know, she said.

106
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Grilling is brand new for me. I never had a

107
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 2>grill until I got this house, and it came with

108
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>a grill, and I was determined to learn how to

109
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 2>use it. Getting beef to the right temperature is the

110
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>trickiest part. You don't want it to be too rare

111
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>or red or too cooked and dry. I'm learning the

112
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>happy medium there. And there's an editor's note pun intended.

113
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Fortune told Savor I'm a dessert gal. I have such

114
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>a sweet tooth. I'm near a cheesecake factory. I will

115
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>hit up that Adam's peanut buttercup fudge rippled cheesecake. That's

116
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>a real treat. Any foods from your childhood that you

117
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>liked Grandma's chicken and dumplings, so comforting and classic. Biggest

118
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 2>flex to impress guests. Fortune said, I love some good

119
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 2>scented candles. They're inviting warm then all you eat is

120
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>good food. I don't have a signature scent yet, but

121
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I love holiday candles all the time, so we're getting

122
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 2>closed to the holidays. I'm pumped because the ones that

123
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 2>I love smell like Christmas trees. Jim Gaffigan spoke to

124
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>The Today Show. They were curious how Jim's wife and

125
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 2>kids feel about being in his comedy. Jim joked, I

126
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>don't care. Then he got a little more serious and said,

127
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the good news is that my children all the things

128
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I say, I don't have to feel guilty because they

129
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 2>have no interest in my comedy. I'm more concerned about

130
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>accidentally posting a photo where they appear in it on

131
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>Instagram than me saying something in my stand up. Obviously,

132
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I try to be respectful, and I think anyone who's

133
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 2>apparent is aware. We've all made mistakes. But parenting is

134
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>you try your best and then as a parent, become

135
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 2>their septacle for all the blame. Kathleen Madigan spoke to

136
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the La Times about her family and the stuff they

137
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>bring over. She's proud of the chicken salad or stuff

138
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>they bring over like tunicast roles, and they're very into

139
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 2>hardy grandma type food, meaning fattening, which I'm all in on.

140
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>She talked about a Midwestern sensibility and said everybody's got

141
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 2>their little things, like I would have a big fight

142
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 2>about their corn being better than anyone else's stupid stuff.

143
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But to us, it's what's happening. It's what we're talking

144
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>about sports. Everybody's got their thing with the packers and

145
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff, but it's not anything we were given,

146
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>like the ocean, the mounts of Colorado. Don't know, we

147
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>don't have that either. That's why when people say, oh,

148
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>do you like where you're from, or always like, yeah,

149
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 2>it's fine. We know it's not great, but it's not horrible.

150
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>It's fine. I love when people say Saint Louis is

151
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that kind of by Chicago, well kind of four and

152
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a half hours down the road to find kind of pie.

153
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what I say about my coastal friends. It's what

154
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 2>they've been given. I mean, someone made it all the

155
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 2>way out there, so I give those people credit, but

156
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 2>the Midwest is like, you're gonna get bored driving around Kansas, Nebraska.

157
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>At least in Missouri. When you get south of Saint Louis,

158
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>we start to get big ills. We called them out,

159
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>and it's a hill. We have good lakes. Coastal people

160
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>don't like lakes because so like, yeah, that water is

161
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 2>a little still. I'm like, yeah, and there's snakes in

162
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 2>it too. She is hilarious, all right. No amount of

163
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>food stories. Uh. Stephen Colbiert had spoken to GQ. This

164
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>one is a bit of a leftover in the spirit

165
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.879
<v Speaker 2>of Thanksgiving. They were curious, does he think the late

166
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>night format makes sense anymore? Do you think the times

167
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>for these shows has passed? Have you ever felt that

168
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>while doing your show, Stephen Colbert, He said, no, not

169
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 2>doing the show. I do the show with gratitude. We

170
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 2>have a really great time. We love doing the show

171
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 2>with each other. We love all pulling on the same rope.

172
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I love being there with those four hundred fifty people

173
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>and the Ed Sullivan Theater, in a Broadway theater. We've

174
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 2>done our best to deliver something that the network can

175
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>monetize in some way. I thought we were successful at that,

176
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>so all things must pass. I think if there's a

177
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 2>business reason for this. I know there's been a change

178
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 2>in ad rates since the strike, and I know that's

179
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>really never recovered for that, so all that makes sense

180
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to me. And I also know that these late night

181
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>shows are kind of like symphony orchestras. They need a

182
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.519
<v Speaker 2>certain amount of personnel to do them. You can't relate

183
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>to a show and the Ed Sullivan Theatre eleven thirty

184
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>five on CBS with a band and sketches and field

185
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 2>shooths and stuff like that for the cost of a podcast.

186
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>And if you look and say, oh, well look, this

187
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 2>is what a podcast makes, and this is what these

188
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 2>shows make, then you're keeping these shows on because you'll

189
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>love the form. Why would shows like mine continue and

190
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>exist or Kimmel or Jimmy or whatever. Well, we're like

191
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 2>your friend who at the end of the day paid

192
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>attention to what happened today more than you did, and

193
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>we curate that back to you at the end of

194
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 2>the day. But it's really more about how we feel

195
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>about or I as the person who's the vehicle for that,

196
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 2>how we felt about it today. Boy, that speaks to

197
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>me as someone who does this show, Like, presumably at

198
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>some level you just kind of enjoy my voice and vibe, right, Like,

199
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're like this is the only place

200
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 2>I can get comedy news. But you know, we have

201
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 2>this relationship, you and I. You listener, me host, and yeah,

202
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I feel what's Stephen selling here? He says. I share

203
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 2>those feelings with the audience, and they laugh or they

204
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 2>don't laugh, and there's a sense of community there. Quick

205
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>time out, it's a holiday, We've got time. I was

206
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 2>teaching my class one week ago today, and I was

207
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 2>teaching the college class about the concept of tribes and

208
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 2>building community around shows. And I started to explain to

209
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 2>the class how I almost always refer to one comedian

210
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>as dramatic actor Adam Sandler. You're in on the bit,

211
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm in on the bit, and always saying dramatic actor

212
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Adam Sandler reinforces the thought there with me as the

213
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 2>leader lowercase L of this tribe of comedy fans who

214
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 2>have gathered around this podcast and in the Facebook group

215
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, please join us anyway. One

216
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 2>of the students starts agreeing with me and goes on

217
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>for like seven minutes about Adam Sandler is good in punch,

218
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>drunk Glove and in uncut gems. And I just stood

219
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>there mugging for the camera, making eye contact with students,

220
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.279
<v Speaker 2>and just gesturing over at the student who just kept

221
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 2>going on and on proving my point of the power

222
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 2>of the tribe and of the community. And I high

223
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>five the student. I was like, you just proved my point.

224
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.960
<v Speaker 2>So I get what Colbert is selling here. He says,

225
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>there's a sense of community and there are fewer, fewer.

226
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who coined this term, but there are

227
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 2>fewer and few of what you would call third spaces

228
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 2>in our life. Have you heard this term three spaces?

229
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 2>This is John talking. My daughter taught me about the

230
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 2>sea off home, work, and then somewhere else you go.

231
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 2>For me, it's the brewery on trivia night, where I

232
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.360
<v Speaker 2>see my friends every now and then. I'm tired. A

233
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>couple weeks ago, the night we want Actually, I was

234
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of tired and I said to my wife, I go,

235
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>I have to show up or I won't have friends anymore.

236
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I need to be with the guys. So that's my

237
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>third space. Colbert says, we need third spaces in our life,

238
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 2>not your home, not your work, but some other place

239
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>we get together, and these late night shows are for

240
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>millions of Americans a third space to come together and

241
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>think about the day. Switching to politics, Colbert said, people

242
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:29.879
<v Speaker 2>perceive me as the sort of lefty figure. I think

243
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm more conservative than people think. I just happened to

244
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>be talking about a government and extremists. What I'm giving

245
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to you is my reaction video to the day, and

246
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>my reaction video is like the scream. So that makes

247
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 2>me perceived as more left necessarily than I am, because

248
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what other reaction would be a an

249
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 2>honest one. I was having a side text with a

250
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 2>friend of the show who appreciated that he's not entirely

251
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>sure which side of the aisle I'm on. Again, this

252
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.720
<v Speaker 2>is not a political show. I'm not sure what you think.

253
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even sure what I'm telegraphing might actually be accurate. Again,

254
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not playing a role. But like I like

255
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.639
<v Speaker 2>to say, the President and I don't agree on all

256
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>the issues we agree on twelve thirty, we don't agree

257
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 2>on other things. With previous presidents. I agreed on some things,

258
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't agree on other things with the next president. I'll

259
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 2>agree on some things, I won't agree on some things.

260
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's how most people are, right, Colbert said,

261
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 2>we broadcast to a general audience. There's no entrance fee,

262
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>there's no subscription. You don't have to look for us

263
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 2>except on Channel five or wherever you are. And we

264
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>have a variety of different guests. It's a variety show.

265
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 2>It is Thanksgiving, and I hope you're all having a

266
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 2>nice Thanksgiving. I do want to give a shout out

267
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to one particular member of the audience. That's Mike Chisholm.

268
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 2>He hosts The Letterman Podcast, and I don't know if

269
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 2>you know this. He's Canadian. So hey, Mike, hope you

270
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:44.559
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed October twelfth, or whenever Canadian Thanksgiving was. I assume

271

274
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I don't know if Mike's skipping week. He

275
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 2>usually puts out an episode on Friday. If not, you

276
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>haven't listened to them all. Listen to on an old one.

277
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 2>He's got this guy Johnny that goes on there every

278
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>now and then anyway, Mike good Joy work today, I'll

279
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>be getting even fatter. Lauren Michaels has donated his five

280
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.080

<v Speaker 2>excellent in depth guides the entire exhibit. Various network memos

293
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.879
<v Speaker 2>on display reveal the inevitable behind the scenes battles of

294
00:12:55.960 --> 00:13:00.120
<v Speaker 2>musical tastes. Network execs like the classic rock. The youngsters

295
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>like some different kinds of music. Also, apparently some memos

296
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>discussing the departures of Norm MacDonald and the great dramatic

297
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 2>actor Adam Sandler. Before email, the show regularly got mail,

298
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 2>fan letters, complaints, sketching job pitches, scribbling on everything from

299
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 2>scratchbats to toilet papers. There's a nineteen seventy eight letter

300
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 2>from one of the writers describing the frustration of having

301
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 2>to respond to the relentless barrage of unsolicited comedy materials.

302
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>She wrote, no matter how funny you think it is,

303
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>we cannot read, evaluate, or use any of your stuff.

304
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 2>We never use outside material, and we're not looking for

305
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.320
<v Speaker 2>any new writers at this time. Really cross my heart

306
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>and hope to die, which I may do soon if

307
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I have to write any more letters like this one.

308
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 2>And that is your Thanksgiving comedy news for the day,

309
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>normal episodes all weekend. I got plenty even from this show.

310
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 2>I bumped four stories. It's not one of those weeks

311
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>where I'm like, oh, what am I going to talk about?

312
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I got plenty. Enjoy your Turkey, Mike, enjoy work. See tomorrow.
