00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hello there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>daily comedy news. Jim Norton tweets Cracker Barrel is going

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Speaker 1>to keep their original logo, The old Man is staying

4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>on the logo. Holyes, what a victory. Take a moment

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 1>to give yourselves a round of applause. No joke there,

6
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>but it was good to hear from Jim Norton. I

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.320
<v Speaker 1>just watched Kill Tony on Netflix. I have some notes,

8
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>but I'll start with the Jim Norton part. I thought

9
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Jim was pretty funny. I thought the material was better

10
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>than what the audience gave him back. I did have

11
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a visceral reaction. Now, I've worked with Jim both at

12
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 1>Sirius Exam and then on the UFC podcast, and as

13
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I looked at Jim and went out, Jim looks like

14
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>ten years older, and I realized I probably looked ten

15
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>years older too. But I haven't actually seen or been

16
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>in a room with Jim Norton in quite a few years.

17
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>At this point, I have come to the conclusion I

18
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>like to Kill Tony podcast a lot, because when I

19
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>listened to the Kill Tony podcast, I'm listening at two

20
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>point three speed and I have thirty second skip at

21
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>my disposal. As for Kill Tony on Netflix, I don't

22
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's working. If they're going to do it as

23
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a Netflix special, they can't just do the normal thing.

24
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Even if they're at Madison Square Garden. It needs a producer.

25
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Here's my note. So I watched the most recent episode

26
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix and it was seven and a half minutes

27
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>before a comedian took the stage. That's an eternity. We

28
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 1>don't need all the intros and all that. And then

29
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 1>the first comedian that they picked out of the hat

30
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>was terrible, So you know, that's a lot of barrier

31
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to entry to a casual. Kill Tony doesn't need my notes.

32
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>They're doing just fine. They were selling out Madison Square Garden.

33
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of a Netflix show, it needs a

34
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>little help there. That sound you heard last night was

35
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>me screaming at the TV. In the new episode of

36
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Star Trek Strange New Worlds, Patton Oswald too normally. I

37
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>really like Patton Oswald played a vulcan. The Vulcan's name

38
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>is Doug. If you understand Star Trek, you a don't

39
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 1>write for Strange New Worlds, and B understand why I'm annoyed.

40
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>If you don't understand Star Trek, just trust me, it's

41
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>really really annoying. Maybe I'll dive into Star Trek next

42
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>week on the DCN eight Bonus Episodes. Bradley Cooper has

43
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>a movie coming out. It is the story of how

44
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>John Bishop got into comedy. It is called Is This

45
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Thing On? I will be curious as it gets closer

46
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to see how real life comedians nitpick the movie's depiction

47
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 1>of stand up comedy. They usually have a problem with that.

48
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 1>The film is directed by Bradley Cooper. It is based

49
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>on John Bishop's story of getting in a stand up

50
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 1>after his marriage broke up. Will Arnett plays Alex, who

51
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>seeks a new life in the New York comedy scene.

52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Laura Dern plays the wife. Comedian Chloe Radcliffe, who plays

53
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>a stand up comedian in the movie, said, I think

54
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Will and John sat next to each other at a

55
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>dinner ten years ago and Will heard a story and

56
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>was like, that rules I want to do that someday.

57
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, that's the movie. Cooper's in the film himself,

58
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>playing Will Arnett's character's best friend. Also appearing in the

59
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>movie Peyton Manning Why I don't know Green Day or

60
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 1>putting out a comedy why, I don't know. They're working

61
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>on a wild road trip comedy titled New Year's rev

62
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Green Day Promises. The movie is packed with your favorite

63
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Green Day songs as well as quote loaded with mischief unquote.

64
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Some of the stars of the film include Fred Armisen

65
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 1>second mentioned in Two Days, Jenna Fisher from The Office,

66
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Angela Kinsey from the Office, comedian Bobby Lee. The film

67
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 1>will make its world premiere September twelfth at the Toronto

68
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>International Film Festival. The description is a garage rock trio

69
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>gets the opportunity of a lifetime to open up for

70
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Green Day and hit the road across America and make

71
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 1>the gig. The only problem is they didn't realize it

72
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>was a prank. Johnny Mack, you never mentioned Mark Maron.

73
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I know rights he caught up with people. Maren is

74
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>a beginning to do promotion for the documentary Anxiety Club.

75
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Maren said, there's a lot of things I don't give

76
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a hoot about that I used to do. There were

77
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 1>big anxiety producing things. I think with age and certainly

78
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>with money, a lot of that stuff is just sort

79
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>of Nolan Void and it's a relief. In the documentary spoiler,

80
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Maren reveals that his anxiety stopped him from having children.

81
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Maren said, I'm not sad about it. My panic and

82
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 1>worry level operates in just such a way that it

83
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>just seems like a nightmare to me. He has accepted

84
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 1>his anxiety, saying, what do you think we're gonna do? Like,

85
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 1>if you're incapacitated and your life is unmanageable for whatever reason, yeah,

86
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you should fix that. If you're uncomfortable, but you're okay,

87
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that might just be you. The podcast turns sixteen years

88
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>old on Monday. Sixteen years It's a long time. It's

89
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 1>a long time doing anything, And certainly I've said recently

90
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>while I'm living it and I don't feel like time

91
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 1>is passing by quickly, But all of a sudden you're

92
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 1>old and you realize you've been doing something for a

93
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>long time. Jimmy Fallon has yet another gig, and I

94
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>think as lame as this idea is, this gets into

95
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Fallon does a lot more things for NBC than Colbert

96
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 1>did for CBS. I don't know if Colbert was unwilling,

97
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>perhaps CBS never asked, but factually Fallon does a lot

98
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of these things. A new show on Brand with Jimmy

99
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Fallon places Jimmy Fallon at the head of his own

100
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 1>advertising agency. He's joined by Chief marketing officer Bozoma Saint John,

101
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>who I'm supposed to know who that is. Apparently she's

102
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>someone on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hill. On brand,

103
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>she'll act as mentor and judge, guiding contestants, so I'm

104
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>wondering what Jimmy Fallon does on the show. The competitors

105
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>will pitch to companies, including a famous rum company with

106
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a pirate on it, at National Donuts chain that I

107
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>sometimes go to, and some others. The show's winner will

108
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 1>receive one hundred thousand dollars, which sounds like a lot

109
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 1>of money, except I looked up from website Simul Media.

110
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 1>They say NBC gets two hundred thousand dollars for a

111
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty So if we show one ad, we've paid off

112
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the grand prize. I know we did this production company

113
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>costs and write ups, and Jimmy Fallon salary and the

114
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>nice lady from Real Housewives of whatever I said. They

115
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>all got to get paid. But two hundred thousand AD

116
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is the low rate for NBC if you want to

117
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>advertise on Sunday Night Football, Simul Media says that will

118
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 1>cost eight hundred and eighty two thousand dollars for a

119
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty Anyway, when you win this show with Jimmy Fallon,

120
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you'll receive one hundred grand minus taxes, a feature and adweek,

121
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>a VIP trip to the can Line's International Festival of Creativity,

122
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 1>and the title Innovator of the Year. I've got a

123
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 1>must read for you, Gary Krueger. If you're of a

124
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>certain age, remember Gary Krueger from Saturday Night Live. I

125
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be surprised if a lot of you were like, who, well,

126
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he's got a substack, so do I. My link is

127
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in the show. No, it's Gary Krueger and have tipped

128
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a late nighter for putting this on my radar. Gary

129
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 1>Krueger was reacting to the Devin Walker departure notice, and

130
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Krueger said, when I was at SNL from eighty two

131
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to eighty five, women struggled unfairly to get material in

132
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 1>the show. The show, by nature is competitive and egos

133
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>are equal parts fragile and inflated. Every week and feel

134
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>like your career was just made or just sank to

135
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a depth no rescue vehicle can reach that can create

136
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 1>a toxic ripe environment. Now I'm going to point out

137
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>that was during the Dick Ebersol years, not the Lorne

138
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Michael's year. So apparently it's been a toxic environment at

139
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>least more than once, according to people on the show.

140
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Gary Krueger writes, I have few regrets, but I'd be

141
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 1>lying if I say I'm okay with the fact that

142
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>producer creator Lorn Mikel treats the Dick Eversoll years when

143
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I was with the show as if they didn't exist.

144
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I agree with Gary there, they do act like those

145
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>years mostly didn't exist, and he makes some great points

146
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>here coming up. I believe that Cold Shoulder is rooted

147
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in the same toxicity Walker refers to. It's an imbalance

148
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>of perception that starts at the top, not because of

149
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 1>any public or industry reverence for the Eversol years, but

150
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 1>because of a shortcoming in Lorne Michaels, who ignores the

151
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>fact that others have contributed to a show. I have

152
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 1>no relationship with Lorne Michaels, and I've never met him.

153
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 1>I've passed him in the hall at SNL reunions, and

154
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>then Gary drops the bomb and he goes, No one,

155
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>not even Michaels, can overlook the fact that Eddie Murphy

156
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>emerged from a show called Saturday Night Live when Lauren

157
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>was not at the helm. I've never heard that point

158
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>made before that Gary Krueger is a great bleeping point.

159
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Gary goes on to say who else was on the show? Julia,

160
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Louis Dreyfus. Gary writes, Lauren doesn't even include five years,

161
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 1>one hundred shows as part of his SNL package. Very

162
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.199
<v Speaker 1>rarely does anything from that aeroshow up in a reunion retrospective,

163
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 1>but the stars are asked participate in the live portions.

164
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm always a little surprised in fact that I get

165
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a ticket to the gallery unions every five or ten years,

166
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But I do, I think because other people involved with

167
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the show and NBC do care. The staff always treats

168
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.879
<v Speaker 1>me another second or are we third? To your cast members?

169
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Very well, fans of SNL and podcast revolving around the

170
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>show regard the eversol years is simply that particular era,

171
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>but not a different show. They love and this is

172
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 1>a good list, and that was the SNL I got

173
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>into I was a little young for the original cast,

174
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>and even that Gene de Mounion what is her name?

175
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 1>That season, the really awful season, but go I was

176
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>watching the Gary Krueger years and Gary says, people like

177
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>me love Joe Piscopo, who I think has just been

178
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>totally overlooked and deserves better. Joe Piscopo, Tim Kazerinski, Robin Duke,

179
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Mary Gross, Brad Hall, Christine Ebersoll, and even Gary Krueger.

180
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 1>And he asks why no respect from Loren Michaels. Just

181
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>In as I'm recording the show, Emil Jakeim has announced

182
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 1>he's leaving SNL. I don't even have this in my script.

183
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading it off my phone. On it Instagram, he

184
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 1>posted I won't be returning to SNL next year. He

185
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 1>was a gut punch of a call to get but

186
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm so grateful for my time there. He did one

187
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 1>season one and none for him, and I feel bad

188
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>for the folks at Late Nighter dot com who thought

189
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>they were taking this week off. No, you're not getting

190
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 1>a little long here. I wanted to tell you about

191
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Joe Coy. He's probably really excited about Taylor Swift getting

192
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 1>engaged he may recall one time Taylor Swift was too

193
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>cool for school and couldn't possibly smile at a Joe

194
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Cooy joke. I won't play it for you right now

195
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>because we're getting along. You probably know the story if

196
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you've listened to this podcast before. But I feel bad

197
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 1>for Joe Coy. He's up in Canada and he said,

198
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm a coffee guy. I love it. I can't function

199
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 1>without coffee. I love the adventure of finding like a

200
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>real coffee shop. But I don't want to go to

201
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a chain. I don't want to go to Starbucks. I

202
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>want local. And he's got a story about going to

203
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>see Ozzy Osbourne's last show, but I will bounce that

204
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to tomorrow because I want to tell you what the

205
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>worst person in the world, Jay Leno, is up to.

206
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>You know that guy, I mean the nerve of that

207
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>guy'd have an opinion about late night comedy. What does

208
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>he know about doing comedy or or hosting a late

209
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 1>night show? And then he chimes in on the whole subject.

210
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's why everybody he's mad at Jay Leno, who

211
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>is the worst person who ever lived. Apparently, Jay, if

212
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you're listening, it's not how I feel it's a bit

213
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>On the most recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, which

214
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you can find on YouTube, he was at with Jeff Dunham,

215
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Puppets guy. They took a tank for

216
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a test drive on southern California streets. Jeff Dunham, who's

217
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 1>sixty three now, jumped in the driver's seat of the

218
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 1>tank to learn how to handle the tank. It's apparently

219
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>steered by using two levers and a foot operated transmission.

220
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Jay Leno, who's seventy five, highlighted some of the features

221
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 1>of the tank, including the seventy six millimeter main gun,

222
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 1>the smoke grenade launchers, and the periscope used for driving

223
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 1>when the hatch is closed. It is a nineteen seventy

224
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>two Alvis Scorpion, a light duty tank capable of reaching

225
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>fifty one miles an hour. One social media comment or

226
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>said about the worst person in the world. I knew

227
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 1>Jay just loves about everything with a motor and wheels

228
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>as much as anyone, But this is a dude is

229
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 1>living his best life in retirement. The President of the

230
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 1>United States took to social media two in the morning

231
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.799
<v Speaker 1>and wrote, there's a sick rumor going around that Fake

232
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.399
<v Speaker 1>News NBC extended the contract of one of the least

233
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>talented late night television hosts out there, Seth Myers. He

234
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>has no ratings, talent, or intelligence, and the personality of

235
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>an insecure child. So why would fake News NBC extend

236
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 1>this dope's contract. I don't know, but I'll definitely be

237
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>finding out. And is what the president is up to

238
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>these days? Beck Bennett told a story about the President

239
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>to The Last Laugh podcast. He was talking about the

240
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>time the president hosted SNL and said, at the table read,

241
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Trump was having a little bit of trouble reading. At

242
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>one point, Trump apparently interrupted the table read to take

243
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 1>a phone call that seemed to be bad news. Trump

244
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>hung up the phone. Leslie Jones said, how much money

245
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 1>did you make on that phone call? Beck Bennett said,

246
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody laughed, but Trump, who said he just found out

247
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>his book went to number one on the bestseller list.

248
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Everybody clapsed. But it was like, really, it didn't sound

249
00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>like you were dealing with the news that your booked

250
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 1>went to number one, But okay, Bennett says. Trump didn't

251
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 1>like getting notes or getting corrected. Quoting back Bennett, he'd

252
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.559
<v Speaker 1>be like, no, that's what I said, But he's just

253
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of loafing around and was just a lot to

254
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>have him there. But he wasn't particularly awful Beyond that,

255
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't think as far as having billionaire personalities come

256
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>on the show, Elon Musk was a lot more offensive.

257
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>That was harder to deal with. He had very odd

258
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 1>ideas and he was very rude and less predictable to

259
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 1>perform with in a way. Trump was a little bit

260
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>more like, you'd tell me where to go and what

261
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.879
<v Speaker 1>to say, and I'll tell you if I'm okay with it?

262
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you? In Indianapolis, the Let's Fest kicks off tonight.

263
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>The group Let's Comedy is producing the fifth annual comedy

264
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 1>and music festival. Appearing at Let's Fest, Ron Funches, Robbie Hoffman,

265
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Carmen Christopher, and Joe Para is there. Nouveau caught up

266
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>with Joe Parra. They asked, Joe, a lot of your

267
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 1>work seems to come back to the topic of sleep.

268
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 1>How's your sleeprou teem Joe Parra said, it's fine. It

269
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>wish it was better everybody does. I feel like the

270
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>older I get, the harder it is, especially as your

271
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 1>life gets busier. Touring is an ideal for sleep. But

272
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I've also learned that when you're up in the middle

273
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of the night and can't sleep, it's best to not

274
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 1>worry about it. Just really go in the kitchen, eat

275
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 1>a banana with some peanut butter. Don't waste your time

276
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to fall back asleep, and be okay with being

277
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 1>up in the middle of the night. That's what Johnny

278
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Mack does. I listen to a lot of podcasts around

279
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 1>two AM until I drift back off. Joe Parraw what

280
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.799
<v Speaker 1>comes to your mind when you think about Indianapolis as

281
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 1>a city. Joe said, truly, I was shot by how

282
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:20.279
<v Speaker 1>big the pork sandwiches were last time. That is your

283
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>comedy news for today See tomorrow.
