<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media.

00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I'm Johnnie Mack. When you're daily Comedy News, daily

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 2>briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry,

4
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>A sentence the algorithm loves, and boy am I distracted?

5
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 2>As I was putting the show together. One of the

6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>last websites I visited was Variety and Variety. He told

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 2>me you two just dropped an EP and I'm a

8
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>huge you two fan. But like, I have to record

9
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>shows because the federal governor would like me to serve

10
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 2>on jury duty next week, so I gotta work ahead

11
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. I can't be listening to six U

12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 2>two songs, but I'm so excited about that. All right,

13
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 2>let's do comedy here. If you listen every day, you

14
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>get my vibe. I do. Try to keep it light.

15
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 2>And you know, two days already this week has been political.

16
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 2>So let's start with silly. Okay, this is not the

17
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>biggest story of the world. Let's start with the silly

18
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Dave Chappelle. Remember he was in Minneapolis. Well, he stopped

19
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>by Matt's barr and Grill. He took some selfies with

20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 2>some folks. But here's the controversy. It is unclear if

21
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Dave Chappelle had a Juicy Lucy for lunch, or if

22
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Dave Chappelle is aware of the controversy behind the origins

23
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>of the juicy Lucy, which, as you know, is a

24
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>famous burger stuffed with cheese. You see the folks at

25
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Matt's Bar and Grill, they say they started the Juicy Lucy,

26
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>and they even spell it juc why to prove that

27
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>they are the original. But then there's these guys at

28
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>the five eight Club they say, no, they started it.

29
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 2>And then if you're in Los Angeles, there's a place

30
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 2>called Barney's Beanery that apparently has good juicy Lucy's. When

31
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I hit LA, I'll have to check that out. Did

32
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>Dave Chappelle eat a Juicy Lucy or was he secretly

33
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>avoiding a controversy. You know, I'm gonna guess Dave Chappelle

34
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>not afraid of a burger controversy. He probably didn't know,

35
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>or wasn't hungry he didn't care. Now, According to Matt'sbar

36
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>dot Come, shortly after opening in nineteen eighty four, a

37
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>local customer asked for two hamburger patties with a slice

38
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 2>of cheese in the middle. The customer bit into the

39
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>new molten hot burger and exclaimed, that's one juicy lucy,

40
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 2>hence the name Matt's. Barr said, customer demand grew so

41
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>quickly we forgot to add the eye, and the juicy

42
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>lucy spelled without the eye has become a local culinary hero.

43
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>And they say, remember, if it's spelled correctly, he might

44
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>be eating a shameless ripoff. John, Are you trying to

45
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>avoid doing politics on the podcast today? Maybe a lot

46
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>of reviews for the new season of Scrubs have come out.

47
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Looking ahead Sunday on this very program will be a

48
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Scrub season ten preview. I'm also trying to figure out

49
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>what I want to do. Is I want to do

50
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>recaps of the episodes. But here's the problem. My wife

51
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 2>wants to watch the show with me, and I've shared before.

52
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Actually maybe I haven't shared before. I share in the

53
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>future on Sunday. See I'm a time travel here sometimes

54
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>on the podcast. My wife is a physician and she

55
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>was a resident at exactly the time JD and Turk

56
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>were residents, so we would watch this show and totally

57
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>relate to it. She called it the most realistic medical

58
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 2>show ever up until the Pit. Now you got to

59
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>watch the Pit with her her eyes or just fixated

60
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>on what's going on in every scene, and she'll like

61
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 2>diagnose along with the er doctors. It's fascinating. But for me,

62
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>who didn't work at a hospital, I recognized all the

63
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>character types from the show, so we always are like Scrubs.

64
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>So that's going to become an US show. But the

65
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>problem is it's going to pair up with the Pit,

66
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>which means we're not going to watch it until Friday night.

67
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 2>So if I want to do episode recaps, I'm not

68
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>going to record those till Saturday, and they're going to

69
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>come out late. And I don't know, And this is

70
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>one I might have to just eat this. I can't

71
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>just sneak this show and be like, oh, I watched

72
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Scrubs without you. That's not going to fly. No spoilers

73
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 2>here now. The reviews, I have not read them because

74
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be biased. I dump them into

75
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>the Wednesday document as the show is back on Wednesday,

76
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>February twenty fifth, So the second half of the show

77
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, i'll talk about Scrubs, So I will have

78
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>to read those reviews in advance. But just skimming the headlines.

79
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Some say it's really awesome and some are giving a

80
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 2>different reviews. We'll see, Zach Braff said, over the years,

81
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Scrubs had varying tunes. True fans will know. Sometimes it

82
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>was broader, and it kept getting broader. We kind of

83
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 2>regrounded the show back to where we started in the pilot.

84
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 2>We still have our fun fantasies, but it's really based

85
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>in reality. It's brought back to ground level. So I'm

86
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 2>excited for Scrubs coming back. One of my all time faves.

87
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh hey, guess we're going to do politics. Step and

88
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Colbert mixed it up with CBS again. If you heard

89
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 2>yesterday's show, Stephen Colbert was upset that he couldn't broadcast

90
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 2>an interview. CBS put out a statement that said the

91
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Late Show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the

92
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>interview with Representative Games at Teller Reco. The show was

93
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 2>provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC

94
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>equal time rule for two other candidates, including Representative Jasmin Crockett,

95
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and presented options for how the equal time for other

96
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 2>candidates could be fulfilled. The Late Show decided to present

97
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the interview through its YouTube channel with on air promotion

98
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 2>on the broadcast, rather than potentially providing the equal time options.

99
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Colbert reacted to that and said, they know damn

100
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>well that every word of my script last night was

101
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 2>approved by CBS's lawyers, who, for the record, approve every

102
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>script that goes on the air. That's interesting, really has

103
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 2>that always been true? I'll have to ask the Late

104
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Night or crew about that one. Were David Letterman script's approved?

105
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Colbert said, between the monologue I did last night and

106
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>before I did the second act talking about this issue,

107
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I had to go backstage. I got called backstage to

108
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>get more notes from these lawyers, something that had never

109
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>ever happened before. And they told us the language they

110
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>wanted me to use to describe that equal time exceptions,

111
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>and I use that language. So I don't know what

112
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>this is about. Colbert again said the phrase, I'm grateful

113
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 2>to have worked for CBS for the last eleven years.

114
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 2>I'll come back to that. I'm just so surprised that

115
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 2>this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies.

116
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Colbert held up the printed out CBS statement and said,

117
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know what to do with this. Crap.

118
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Hold on. He then grabbed a doggie bag, No, not

119
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>the kind from the restaurant, the one where you clean

120
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>up after your dog, and he stuffed the paper inside it.

121
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>That got a lot of applause. Now Colbert keeps using

122
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>this phrase or a phrase a lot like it, I'm

123
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 2>grateful to have worked for CBS for the last eleven years.

124
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>He keeps thanking them, and he keeps saying that, and

125
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, maybe, perhaps possibly, John, you're crazy, Yeah,

126
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>you're right, I am. I'm just making things up. This

127
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 2>can't possibly be true. Maybe, perhaps possibly some lawyer is

128
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>telling him to do that so he doesn't goof up

129
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>his contract. It just I don't know. He keeps saying

130
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm grateful to have work for CBS for the last

131
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 2>eleven years or something like that, and I'm noticing it.

132
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he's just grateful to have worked for CBS for

133
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>the last eleven years. Who knows, Now, Steven, I'll remind

134
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>you CBS is paramount. Paramount makes the horrible New Star

135
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Trek that you're part of. I think you should be

136
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>a man of principle and walk away from horrible New

137
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Star Trek. And then I will attempt to forgive you

138
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>for helping to destroy Star Trek, but until you stop

139
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 2>destroying Star Trek, I have to be aligned with the president.

140
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Jim Jeffries talked to Rolling Stone Australia. They got political. Hey,

141
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I talked about a burger for the first five minutes.

142
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>What do you want me to do here? Jim Jeffries said,

143
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe that eighty percent of the population are moderates

144
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 2>who have left and right wing views. Everybody's got whatever

145
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.439
<v Speaker 2>the topic is. You have the left wing view and

146
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 2>a right wing view, and I have the left and

147
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.720
<v Speaker 2>right wing views, and then ten percent of the population

148
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 2>is extreme left and ten percent is extreme right slightly,

149
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 2>so it just topics. It says he got RFK right.

150
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 2>There should be no chemicals in food. We don't need

151
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 2>these food dies. McDonald's French fries shouldn't have twenty something

152
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>ingredients in them when other countries don't have all these ingredients.

153
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 2>A box of mac and cheese shouldn't have thirty more

154
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 2>ingredients than an Australian box of mac and cheese. Who

155
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>would argue with that? I won't. I mean, I go

156
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>to Europe and I eat and I'm like, how come

157
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I actually feel good? After eating and then I come

158
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 2>back here and it's just awful. I've actually been trying

159
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>to avoid gluten. I do agree there's a lot of

160
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 2>crap in American food, Jim Jeffery said, So it's apparent

161
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I want all that stuff out of my food, right,

162
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>And then the next daying RFK says is and no vaccines,

163
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Jim said, my mother in polio, I effing believe in vaccines.

164
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 2>So it's not the same. Everything's not equal. So the

165
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 2>left can get on board of taking out all the

166
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 2>stuff and the food, the right can get on board

167
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>of taking out all this stuff, and then they go

168
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 2>no vaccines, like it's all one topic that I have

169
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 2>to believe that autism came because a pregnant woman and

170
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>took tailand all. I don't believe that. I think that

171
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>sounds like BS. And then they wanted to say it

172
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>was because of the vaccines. They obviously couldn't find the evidence.

173
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Jim continued, I've always considered myself to be a fairly

174
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>right wing Australian in the sense that I believe in

175
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.319
<v Speaker 2>tight borders, and I'm financially seen to be right wing

176
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>in many perspects, but I'm extremely left wing for an

177
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>American because I believe women should be allowed to do

178
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>what they want with their bodies. I fully believe in

179
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 2>healthcare for all, I believe in social services and housing

180
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 2>for all, and those words that I'm saying right now

181
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 2>to a lot of Americans with socialist programs, I might

182
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 2>as well be a communist, right I'm the most extreme

183
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.679
<v Speaker 2>lefty on earth to certain Americans, But in Australia, that

184
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make me an extreme lefty, does it. The Mayor

185
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>of Allentown, Matt Chruik, was on Tim Hideker's Office Hours

186
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>with Tim Hideker podcast. The mayor gave Tim Hideker a

187
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 2>key to the city and said that in Tim's role

188
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 2>as Allentown's chief cheerleader, Tim needs to urge people to

189
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.240
<v Speaker 2>return to Allentown. The mayor tried to convince Tim Hideker

190
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.639
<v Speaker 2>to return to the city himself, explaining, about a year

191
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 2>ago we opened up a new fifteen hundred seat music

192
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.679
<v Speaker 2>hall off Hamilton Street. Hamilton Street has seen about a

193
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars of investment in the past ten years. You

194
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't recognize it from when you were there. Hallidecker reminisced

195
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 2>about working at a brass rail restaurant in bar location

196
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 2>that is now a wah wah. The mayor said he

197
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>prefers sheets. By the way. In New Jersey, there's been

198
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 2>a thing. The sheets stores are starting to creep into

199
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey taking on the wah wahs. This is the

200
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. And then and then this wahwah vers quick

201
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 2>check versus seven to eleven. I don't think I've ever

202
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>been to a sheets wah wah has actually a pretty

203
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 2>good sandwiches. I digress, The mayor said. The farmers market

204
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>is amazing. Brass rails, they are great Korean food. Saturday

205
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>at four o'clock there are eighty year old duchy women

206
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 2>arguing about the price of meat that's about expired. Sounds

207
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>like crap, but it's amazing. Congratulations to the National Comedy Center,

208
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>named the number one best pop culture museum in the

209
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.399
<v Speaker 2>country by USA Today. That's right, The NCC was one

210
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 2>of the twenty institutions nationwide nominated as best in the US.

211
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 2>But of course the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, New York,

212
00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 2>was named number one. Jerny Gunderson, who was on this

213
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>very program one time, said the national recognition from USA

214
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Today is a powerful acknowledgment of the extraordinary artists who

215
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.559
<v Speaker 2>have shaped comedy, the great mind, singular voices and time

216
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 2>hone creative processes that have elevated this art form throughout

217
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 2>its history. The JFL Just for Last Vancouver Comedy Festival continues.

218
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Correspondent Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Podcast went to see

219
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the shows. Mike, take it from here.

220
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Red Richardson just killed it at the Just for Laughs

221
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Festival. I'm at the Review stage on Granville Island,

222
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 1>very cool room, about one hundred people and Red got

223
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 1>up there. If you haven't seen Red Richardson, British Schlubby

224
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 1>got this kind of a very very cool persona character

225
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 1>that he plays, you know, and he can go anywhere

226
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 1>from He's a brilliant dullard. That's how I would classify

227
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Red Richardson. He's a brilliant dullard. Landed every joke that

228
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 1>he tried to try to tell you, landed them all,

229
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 1>no matter what. And it's funny. He has the ability

230
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to make like he did a nine to eleven joke

231
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>and it was so funny. And that's the key. He

232
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>can whether it's cancel culture or nine to eleven. He

233
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 1>can set up a premise where you think it's gonna

234
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 1>get serious, and he can make it completely innocent, almost

235
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>very silly, and did some very clever things poking fun

236
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 1>at crowd work and just you know, I don't want

237
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 1>to ruin any of the bits, but I would highly

238
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 1>recommend going to see him on stage. He said that

239
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 1>he had mostly new material, so he pulled the crowd

240
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>to see if anybody had seen his last outing, and

241
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>some had, and he said, well, this is almost all

242
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>new material, and I think a lot of it could

243
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 1>be used for a special. It really was a fun show.

244
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed it a lot.

245
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. Mike Chisholm all right at JFL Vancouver tonight.

246
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Drew Lynch, he was on the has a Very program

247
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday. He's at the Vogue Theater at seven o'clock.

248
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Adler does a show at seven. Dylan's really good.

249
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Mike Rita has a show at seven. Jesse Jetski Johnson

250
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 2>is it the review stage at nine? Vladimir Kamanyo. Now

251
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>here's a guy that I saw at New Faces, like

252
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I think the very first New Faces I went to.

253
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 2>So we're talking, oh, fifteen twenty years ago. I thought

254
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 2>he was going to pop. He was fantastic that night

255
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and it never really came together for Vladimir Kamanyo. But

256
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>he's got a show at seven thirty. All right, if

257
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>we were in Vancouver tonight, do you go see Drew Lynch,

258
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you go see Dylan Adler? Maybe you go see

259
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Drew and maybe Dylan will do one more show. Dylan's

260
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>really good, though, that's a tough call tonight. They're both

261
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 2>early shows, and then I guess for a late show.

262
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Let's see who Jesse Jetski Johnson is. I'm unfamiliar with

263
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Jesske Johnson. We're told Jesse Jetski Johnson is a

264
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 2>musical school dropout and trumpet player turns down comedian from Phoenix.

265
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 2>She's a cast member on the kil Tony podcast she

266
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Is and the Bad Friends podcast with Santino and Bobby Lee. Okay,

267
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I haven't listened to kill Tony in a bit. Maybe,

268
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.080
<v Speaker 2>all right, move on, John, Okay, I'll move on on

269
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:19.159
<v Speaker 2>Gossip Corner Radar Online. That's a bit of a gossipy website.

270
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.960

273
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>dating a twenty three year old man she described as

274
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>an accidental romance. An insider tells Radar Online. Kathy feels

275
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:40.480

<v Speaker 2>five with check your calendar is not that long ago.

279
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Kathy told People Magazine, my divorce took me out. I'm

280
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.399
<v Speaker 2>not gonna lie. Some people were like, I was glad

281
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I got rid of them, and I've never felt better.

282
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 2>I was down for the count. It was harder than cancer.

283
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Kathy Griffin is sixty five years old. Don't act like

284
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want me to throw that piece of information

285
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:06.279
<v Speaker 2>out there. And from the Korean June Gang Daily say

286
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>it with me. You're home for comedy news comedian Roe

287
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 2>hung Chull is under fire. Apparently Roe hung Chull posted

288
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.440
<v Speaker 2>some photos with some lions while visiting an animal park

289
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 2>in Tanzania. So as the story goes, Roe posted on

290
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Insta in January after visiting Servil Wildlife a safari park

291
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 2>in Tanzania. He captured it trying to touch the tip

292
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.399
<v Speaker 2>of a sleeping lion's fur. I've seen the photo and

293
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 2>he's kind of laying down, kind of near a lion.

294
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>He also posted a video of himself walking alongside an

295
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:41.120
