WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.960 Kaloroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Jenny Mack with your daily 2 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.519 comedy news, A daily briefing on stand up comedians in 3 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.800 the comedy industry, a freeze that will boost your Spotify 4 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.120 numbers by twenty percent. But I can't bog down on 5 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.239 that right now, because the folks at the Hollywood Reporter 6 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.519 they watched Free Bert on Netflix, and uh yeah, sounds 7 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:27.399 like pretty much what I thought it was gonna be 8 00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.559 their headline. Bert Kraser strips away the shirtless party boy persona, 9 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.240 but also the laughs. Uh oh. They have compared this 10 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.719 to his often partner Tom Sagora, The Hollywood Reporter, right, 11 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.439 Sigora used his opportunity to deliver twenty twenty five's Bad Thoughts, 12 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.840 a vig yet driven sketch show that steered into everything 13 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.320 that is amiably off putting and in your face about 14 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.799 sigora stand up slash podcast persona. Bad Thoughts might be 15 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.359 a show primarily for established Toom Sagora fans, but man, 16 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.560 if you're a Tompsagora fan, it's on brand. On the surface, 17 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.840 it appears that Krasier's Free Bird aspires to something more 18 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.240 like what Dave did for Dave Little Dicky Bird or 19 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.040 buck Gist did for Pete Davidson? Did bub GISs do 20 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.040 anything for Pete Davidson? Pete Walked Away Man, wherein it 21 00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.599 takes a comic with a specific and established persona and says, 22 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.760 what if we show you the human behind the stick? 23 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.079 Or perhaps what Krascher is doing with free Bert is 24 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.760 almost a parody of that genre. It's hard to tell 25 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.760 for sure, because although Free Bird is successful on some level, 26 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.560 it's not especially funny, and when free Bert is funny, 27 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.799 it's actually funny because of the three teenage girls who 28 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.400 were Krascher's co stars. The article that then gets into 29 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.920 plot spoilers and they tag it with free Bert proves 30 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.079 there's more to Bird. Krascher. I'm just not sure this 31 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.159 is the best vehicle for it, so I haven't seen 32 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.599 it yet as I record this Thursday at three pm 33 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.400 in the afternoon. It's on my list of things to 34 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.400 watch last night in your Universe. But this was the 35 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.480 question I had off the trailer. Who is this for? 36 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.519 It seems dumbed down for the Bird audience, but too 37 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.560 naughty for the non Bird audience, so I don't know 38 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.879 who the show is for. Bert also got the Big 39 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.120 Wax Job interview from The Hollywood Reporter. They're curious how 40 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.760 did this project come to be? Bert Kreischer said, here's genesis. 41 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.200 I was fired from the Travel Channel. Everything was going 42 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:05.719 away for me and I had to refigure out who 43 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.519 I was, and I was having an identity crisis. At 44 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.879 the same time, we were at a school for my 45 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:11.719 daughters where it felt like everyone I had money, everyone 46 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.960 had nice cars, everyone had big houses. Our house was 47 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.919 eleven hundred square feet and it was right by Jack 48 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.280 in the Box. We felt like we were the Beverly Hillbillies. 49 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.080 So I was trying to encapsulate that time, and the 50 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.240 quickest way to get to the identity crisis was pulled 51 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.879 for my life. And the comments I get, which are like, oh, 52 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.680 well he is is the fat guy that takes his 53 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.719 shirt off. Bert says, I got hired for a private party. 54 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.759 One time I tried doing material on. The guy goes, hey, man, 55 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.319 put the shirt on and take it off again and 56 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.400 just tell the machine. I was like what, and he goes, 57 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.240 we don't want to hear the other stuff. Just do 58 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.960 the shirt rip off one more time, tell the machine. 59 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.439 Then let's go party. Bert says it was twenty five 60 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.800 thousand dollars and I did it. Yikes. Lying in bed 61 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.159 that night in Vale, Colorado, I thought to myself, I 62 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.199 just got paid twenty five thousand dollars to take my 63 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.479 shirt off and tell one story twenty five thousand dollars. 64 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.680 I was like, what if that's my life? So we 65 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.319 had that scene in the show, and then we infuse 66 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.199 the identity crisis that happens when you go to a 67 00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.719 new school and you're trying to fit in. And just 68 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.560 did Netflix go to bird It? Did Bert go to Netflix? 69 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.280 He said, I brought it to them. They were obviously 70 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.240 up for hearing a pitch. But My White Whal has 71 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.680 always been a sitcom, a TV show about my family. 72 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.599 There was an Artie Lang sighting from the National Inquirer. 73 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.800 A new photo suggests that Artie Lang is doing well. 74 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.680 He's now fifty eight. He was spotted in a photo 75 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.840 taken at Davittel's birthday dinner. We're told in the photo, 76 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.719 Arti Lang is wearing a backwards baseball cap, sporting a 77 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.319 mustache and beard, and had his right hand in the air, 78 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.800 acknowledging the camera. A tell caps on the post, what 79 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.639 a birthday? Thank you? For all things of me see 80 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.639 down the road at a club sometime soon. I worked 81 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.840 with Lady several times during my years. It's serious, good guy, 82 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.120 exactly who you think. He is. Friendly as heck. If 83 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.800 we invited him to come down the hall to the 84 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.400 comedy stations to do some sort of stunt, he always did, 85 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.280 very very friendly. I wish him the best. But I 86 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.400 can also tell you I've been in the audience. I 87 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.439 remember one night at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival watching 88 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.879 Already on stage, and I said to one of my coworkers, 89 00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.639 if we wake up tomorrow and he's dead, I'm not 90 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.199 going to be shocked. I didn't say that dismissively. You 91 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.639 could just tell that Already had demons. He's quite open 92 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.560 about his demons, and they were on stage that night. 93 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.159 So I'm really glad already Lang appears to be doing well. 94 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.800 Good guy. I wish the best. Forum Jimmy Kimmel on 95 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.480 Wednesday Night suggested that the FCC has him and his crosshairs. 96 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.079 On Wednesday, the FCC clarified its guidance on the equal 97 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.720 time rule. That rule suggests that broadcast stations must afford 98 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.920 equal airtime to competing politicians. Talk shows have been exempt 99 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.680 from the rule since jay Leno fought against it in 100 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.000 one in nineteen ninety six. Jay Leno's team argued that 101 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.399 he was conducting interviews that qualified for the same carve 102 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:43.480 out granted to news programming. The FCC, in a ruling, said, importantly, 103 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.839 the FCC has not been presented with any evidence that 104 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.480 the interview portion of any late night or daytime television 105 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.920 talk show program on air presently would qualify for the 106 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.439 bonafide news exemption. Moreover, a program that is motivated by 107 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.040 partisan purposes, for example, would not be entitled to an 108 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.639 exemption under long standing FCC President. Kimmel said, we're once 109 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.839 again threatened by the FCC. I might need your help again. 110 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.439 So I'm not expert in this. So say Jimmy Kimmel 111 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.639 had on Gavin Newsom, He has Gavin neusim on? Does 112 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.680 kim all? Then now have to have someone else? And 113 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.680 what's the equivalent of Gavin Ussom? So you have to 114 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.480 have the Republican gubernatorial candidate on? Like, how does this 115 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.000 even work? And like I get what it's trying to do, 116 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.439 and part of me, I'm I rolling that because I 117 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.720 get what it's trying to do. But putting my cynicism away, 118 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.319 if you're like, oh, I wouldn't it be good to 119 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.480 have both sides on things? Because there are some things 120 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.759 you can't both side. All right, I'm not gonna get 121 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.079 political here. Let me just use a ridiculous example. Say 122 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.879 I talked about Adam Sandler comedies. There's no both siding that. 123 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.639 I'm not going to have a guest on telling us 124 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.240 that Adam Sandler movies are funny, right, that would be ridiculous, 125 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.000 and that's not how this show goes. This show makes 126 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.360 fun of Adam Sandler comedies. So if you told me 127 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.639 I had to have somebody on to be pro Adam 128 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.319 Sandler comedy, I just wouldn't do the Adam Sandler segment. 129 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.000 Now I'm being very facetious here, But now apply that 130 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.920 to politics. So now you look at it and go, eh, 131 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.120 maybe we shouldn't have Gavin Usiman, We'll have nobody on. 132 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.199 We won't talk about issues at all. And they get 133 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.680 back to me, eye rolling, going, I see what they're 134 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.079 trying to do here. Now who do you side with here? 135 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.800 Bill Maher has detested Stephen Colbert for years now. If 136 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.480 I had to weigh in, if you said, Johnny Mack, 137 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.800 you got to pick here because Bill Maher is fighting 138 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.839 with Stephen Colbert? Which side you pick? I'd be like, 139 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.600 has Bill Maher been on Kurtzman Star Trek? And you 140 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.680 would say no, And I'd go, I'm picking Bill Maher. 141 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.560 I'll hold my nose and pick team mar because he 142 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.879 hasn't ruined Star Trek. All right, what's the issue here? 143 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.199 Bill Maher was on The Late Show in twenty fifteen. 144 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.279 During the interview, Stephen Colbert, a devout Catholic and Star 145 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:41.879 Trek ruiner, challenged Bill Maher on his atheism. The conversation 146 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.079 got tense. During the interview, Colbert referred to Mar as dull. 147 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.079 Mar fired back and called the host Steve. Colbert said, 148 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.759 who the f is? Steve? Are you my third grade teacher? Right? Relaxed, dude, relax. 149 00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.000 Apparently there's still a source, says Steven thinks Bill is pumped, 150 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.079 and Bill thinks he's a smart alec people that gets 151 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.040 an act. But these guys really don't like each other. 152 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.439 Even a little more has explained. Yeah, but the good 153 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.360 part is we don't hide it, like he doesn't like 154 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.759 me and I don't like him, and we don't deny it. 155 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.040 Maybe we'll become friends one day, said Bill Moore. I've 156 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.800 had that happen before with people. You know, you get 157 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.399 off on the wrong foot. I mean, there's no reason 158 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.519 why two comics we have a lot of common. But 159 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:20.920 you know, I'll say it now. I think I did 160 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.759 the show twice. You could tell it's on screen. It's okay. 161 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.560 It's not like we effing fought each other. Craig ferguson 162 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.879 not coming back to late night. Craig told Variety, this 163 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.199 is the truth of me and late night television. I 164 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.240 didn't really watch late night television before I did it, 165 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.759 and then I certainly didn't watch it while I was 166 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.680 doing it, and then afterwards I don't really watch it. 167 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.839 So it's not something I feel qualified to really either 168 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.519 predict or coming on to be honest. I mean, I 169 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.079 did my thing, but I don't know that my thing 170 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:46.720 was ever really part of that thing, you know what 171 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.439 I mean. Craig hosted The Late Late Show from two 172 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.120 thousand and five to the end of twenty fourteen, back 173 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.000 when twelve thirty was great again again. I encourage the 174 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.319 president to make late night great again. We've got Seth 175 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.360 Myers I don't know what's going on there at twelve thirty. 176 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.519 At eleven thirty, we've got Stephen Colbert helping to ruin 177 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.800 Star Trek. That show has to go with the news 178 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.199 that Colbert Show was ending. Some people were like, bring 179 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:10.879 back Craig Ferguson, who says, that's not something I'm into. 180 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.279 You only do it two days in shawshank Right, first 181 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:14.959 day and last day. I'm very proud of that talk 182 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.000 show I did. I'm really glad I did it. I 183 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:18.720 think we hit the ball more often than we missed, 184 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.120 but I don't feel I need to do it again. 185 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.000 It would almost make it not as valuable to me 186 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.439 if I started doing it again. Variety points out Ferguson's 187 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:29.439 late Late show clips live on via bootleg Clips. Creig 188 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.959 explains it's weird because I think I'm probably less connected 189 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:33.480 to that old show than people who watched it. A 190 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.720 lot that was then and now is now. I'm glad 191 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:36.960 I did it. I'm very proud of it, but I 192 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:38.679 haven't lived with it on a day to day basis 193 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.240 for a long time. Craig is now hosting Scrabble. He says, 194 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.120 I've been playing scrabble since I was a kid. I 195 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.240 suspect it's the reason I can actually read, given the 196 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.000 way that my education went. So it's very keen that 197 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.080 we got a TV version of Scrabble that I thought 198 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.000 did justice of the game. What I did notice is 199 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.080 how competitive scrabble players are. I used to think I 200 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.200 was good at scrabble, but these people are great at Scrabble. 201 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.600 Craig likes hosting game shows because there's no prep. I 202 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.360 go in, I play the game of the contestants, and 203 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.960 that's the only information I have, the contestants' names and 204 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.879 how to pronounce them correctly. He says. The tapings have 205 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.639 been going long a TV hours, around forty four minutes 206 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.879 before commercials, and it takes us easily double that with 207 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:16.919 me talking smack and bs about this, that and the 208 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.080 next thing. I just play and then whatever has to 209 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.919 be taken out in order for the game it's ordered. 210 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.679 I suspect there'll be a lot of b rolling out 211 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.200 takes that will become available pretty soon once the show 212 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.399 starts airing. If you are enjoying daily comedy news, one 213 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.720 way to support the show is get the ad free version. 214 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.840 What do I do, Johnny Mac? That sounds cool? Well, 215 00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:36.759 what you do, friend, is you open up the Apple 216 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.279 podcast app. You'll find a banner it says uninterrupted listening. 217 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.039 You click on that, and then you'll be part of 218 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.879 a thirty day free trial. We get this show and 219 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.840 a bunch of others on the channel ad free. Then 220 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.720 after the thirty days, it's no longer a free trial. 221 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.120 Then you're in and it's four ninety nine a month, 222 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.799 and all the ads go a way great way to 223 00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:06.559 support the show. Take it away, Burt Reynolds, Comedy stock Markets. 224 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.480 I don't have a lot for you this week on 225 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.000 the comedy stock market. I have zero buy recommendations. I 226 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.279 don't think anybody had an awesome week where I'm like, oh, 227 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.120 I gotta buy that. I mean, I do want to 228 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.440 suggest you buy the Netflix Comedy Festival, but you can 229 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.960 actually buy stock in Netflix, so I don't want to 230 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.799 start giving stock recommendations. You do what you want with 231 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.080 an actual stock, so I'm not saying to do that. 232 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.159 This is comedy stock market where you can't actually buy 233 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.399 or sell stocking comedians. Well, you probably can on one 234 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.759 of those. I'm sure you're watching the same TV im 235 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.039 where it seems like you could bet on anything. Now 236 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.840 there probably is a comedy stock market who knows, but 237 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.320 I don't have any buys. I have two cells. First 238 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.279 sell Burt Kreischer, same note as last week, same note 239 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.200 as the first half of today's podcast. I don't know 240 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.679 who the show's for, so let's seller Burt Krescher. The 241 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.080 other sell is Michael Rapaport. Do you watch The Traders? 242 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.919 I started to watch this season of The Traders, and 243 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.399 I found Michael rapp reports so annoying. I decided I'm 244 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.320 not gonna watch this season, and I'm on comedy threads 245 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.559 and apparently I'm not the only one. Apparently people do 246 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.720 not enjoy him, and not in like he's a good 247 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.679 reality show villain kind of way. He's just annoying. And 248 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.399 I've talked about this in the past. There are some 249 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:21.320 people that anytime their name comes up, it's never like 250 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.200 Michael Rappaport was outside eating an ice cream cone and 251 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.240 he pad a Golden Retriever and had a nice day. 252 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.039 That's never why Michael Rappaport comes up in the news. 253 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.039 There's always something stupid, like you said he was running 254 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.159 for mayor four years from now. A trader. He's just annoying. 255 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.399 So if we had any Michael Rappaport stock Let's sell it. Sorry, 256 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.480 I don't have a deep comedy stock market fee this week, 257 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.799 but I don't at Jeff Foxworthy's gonna take a new 258 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.120 comedy special at Gwynett's Gas South Theater April fifteenth and sixteenth. 259 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.759 Looking forward to that. Jeff's a great guy. If you're 260 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.639 in Cleveland tomorrow night, Justy Slay as at the Agora. 261 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.720 Justy's recent special was called wet Heat, which is not 262 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.639 at all what many of us east of Thessippi you're 263 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.720 having this weekend. Burr again. That's why I interrupted the 264 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.320 show the other day to get the boiler guy to 265 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.200 come into My ass is nice and warm today, Thank you, 266 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.399 boiler Guy. Dusty Slay says, my relationship with the heats 267 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.679 always changes. I thought the heat was great. But if 268 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.600 you're out in the yard trying to plant fruit trees 269 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.039 like I like to do, write that down. Now we 270 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.799 know something about Dusty Slay. He likes to plant fruit trees. 271 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.600 He can really beat you down. I nearly gave myself 272 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.840 a heat stroke last year. I just feel like my 273 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.840 body's not reacting as well to heat these days. His 274 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.039 current set is regular everyday stuff, but with a unique twist. 275 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:32.600 I had someone say the other night I have an 276 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.120 ability to make things relatable even when they're not, like 277 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.720 planting fruit trees. Anyone who knows me knows I have 278 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.240 a difficult relationship with dogs. I talk about dogs all 279 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.159 the time on my podcast, and some people have gotten 280 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.440 really mad at me. But other people have some emails 281 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.759 with similar stories. It's like people are afraid to say 282 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.759 that they're not into dogs. It's kind of my thing. 283 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:50.559 I grew up in the country with a lot of dogs. 284 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.960 If you go stay with a relative with a dog 285 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.840 and you're not used to having indoor pets, then you 286 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:55.600 can't breathe the next day. I think that's what's wrong 287 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.799 with everybody's sinned us is they're all sleeping with dogs 288 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.480 out there. Dusty says, people are loving the dog bit. 289 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.000 I found a good way to do these dog jokes 290 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.919 without offending anyone. I really try to work on finding 291 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:06.919 material that anybody can enjoy. You just gotta come in 292 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.480 and sit down, laugh for an hour and a half 293 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.919 without having to think. I don't want people worried about stuff. 294 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.159 I want them to be relaxed during the show. Go 295 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.799 see Dusty Slay. If you're in Cleveland, seven o'clock at 296 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:21.039 the Agora five thousand and one Prospect Avenue, thirty five 297 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.759 bucks to get you in. TBS for some reason, has 298 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:28.799 greenlit sixteen half hour episodes of hidden camera comedy series 299 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.360 Foul Play with Anthony Davis. That's right, Anthony Davis from 300 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.919 the Dallas Mavericks has a hidden camera show for some reason. 301 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.279 I don't know why. We're told the unscripted series pairs 302 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.679 elite athletes with elaborate pranks, giving them one chance to 303 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.559 pull off their mischievous plans or foul out. Trying see 304 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.080 Basketball is see and it goes. The show debuted as 305 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.320 a half hour special last winter. Guest stars included Mookie Betts, 306 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.600 He's from the Dodgers, and TBS is making sixteen of 307 00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:00.000 these Foul Play with Anthony Davis. TBS president Jason Salernis 308 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.399 said in a prepared statement, Anthony Davis brings the same 309 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.799 position in swagger to comedy that he does to the court. 310 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.320 At TBS, we love a show that knows how to 311 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.200 have fun and foul plays exactly that. We're excited for 312 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.279 our viewers to have as much fun watching it as 313 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.120 Anthony and the other athletes had filming it. Now, as 314 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.000 much as I'm making fun of this thing, the premiere 315 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.519 got over three million viewers. That's a lot, So get 316 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.559 out your calendar, write this down. The first batch of 317 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.960 episodes will premiere Monday, April sixth, immediately following the NCAA 318 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:30.320 National Championship basketball game, and then it'll be on every 319 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.000 Monday at eight o'clock. So that means when you're watching 320 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.039 the basketball tournament, they're gonna have you ever seen TBS 321 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:40.840 promote something? TBS promoting something during sports? They are relentless. 322 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.159 You're gonna be sick of this thing before it even airs. 323 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.679 Foul play with Anthony Davis. Stay warm this weekend, and 324 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.320 depending where you live, you're getting between two and two 325 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.159 thousand inches of snow. I don't know if you've been 326 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.039 following the weather reports, big snow or no snow. Who knows. 327 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.840 You might get snow and you might get a lot 328 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.600 of snow. So when you're stuck in the house, what 329 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:02.159 you want to do before the power goes out, is 330 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.720 you want to download Daily Comedy News Tomorrow on the 331 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.519 program a longer episode. Mike Chisholm from The Letterman podcast, 332 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.200 and I we tape some stuff in early January, maybe 333 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.320 was still late December, and we kind of bs about 334 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:15.919 comedy for like a half an hour or so. So 335 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:17.879 that'll keep you entertained until the lights come back on. 336 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:21.080 Then Sunday, on this very program, a normal show, I've 337 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.440 got some industry stuff through a couple deeper dives on 338 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.480 the comedy industry and how it all works. So we'll 339 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.799 do that in the second half of Sunday's podcast, normal 340 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.519 episode Monday morning, and then Monday at noon Comedy Survivor 341 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.559 Week three results.
