WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.039
<v Speaker 1>both today and tomorrow. Pretty robust for the weekend. Tons

3
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>of news. We're in this little comedy cycle now where

4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 1>we've had Melaney Burr and coming up on Tuesday, Bird

5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Chrysler special. So plenty to talk about in the next

6
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 1>few days into all of next week. Actually, Bill Burr

7
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>caught up with NPR. I'll drop in and out of

8
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a half assed Bill Burr impression here and not impression,

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>but I try and capture his bite. You know, he'll

10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>speaking short said, it's this little bit at us, So

11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll do that. In and out Bill tails NPR. He

12
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>traces some of his rage and his dark humor to

13
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the emotional abuse he experienced as a child in Massachusetts.

14
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Bill said, every way that you can be abused as

15
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 1>what I'm talking about, I don't know if you can

16
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>ever undo things that were done to you. He realized

17
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>at an early age if he could make people laugh,

18
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 1>he was less likely to get hurt. Since then, he's

19
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 1>tried therapy and silo they've been aka magic mushrooms as

20
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>a way of dealing with the past. He says both

21
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>helps and lately has felt lighter on stage. Let me

22
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>jump in here there is clearly let me back up.

23
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I posted this on the Facebook group Pretty Daily Comedy

24
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>News podcast group. A few things. As I've aged, I

25
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>have increasingly been using the phrase many things can be

26
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>true at once. For example, one, we should all try

27
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to be a better person today than we were yesterday.

28
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely true. Two, many things can be true at once.

29
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 1>There appears to be some sort of PR campaign right

30
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>now to let us know that Bill Burr is a

31
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 1>better man than he was yesterday, and that he softened

32
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and he's changed or whatever, that he can dial the

33
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 1>rage on and off. That is in every messaging I've

34
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>seen for this current promotional cycle. And again go back

35
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 1>to point one. I think we should all try and

36
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>be better people. But I'm noticing the PR campaign is

37
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.

38
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm just telling you i'm noticing it. Bir said that

39
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 1>whole myth that you can't be happy and still be

40
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>funny's a myth. I'm a mess of a human being still,

41
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 1>this far into life. That is my existence to day,

42
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 1>week to week, month a month. It's just what it is.

43
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But it makes for good comedy. If you want to

44
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>hear a good, solid hour bilburt Is on Terry Gross's

45
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Fresh Air, you can grab that as a podcast. He

46
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>talked about the mushrooms and said, I started tripping and

47
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it was goofy and I was laughing. I was like, Wow,

48
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>this is wild. And then all of a sudden, like

49
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>this feeling came over me and I couldn't really figure

50
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 1>out what it was. It was this profound sense of loneliness.

51
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I asked the question, which really is a

52
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>cool thing to do when you're on mushrooms, to kind

53
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 1>of say, what are you trying to tell me? And

54
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>it's weird, like the answer just sort of comes. The

55
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 1>answer is basically, this is how you felt growing up.

56
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>It's the weirdest thing. For like a week after, I

57
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was who I would have been if all this stuff

58
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't happen to me. It was like this honeymoon phase.

59
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 1>This euphoria made me want to become a better person,

60
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 1>made me want to fix my life. So seven days

61
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 1>of that, oh my god, I'm not angry anymore. I

62
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>felt this lightness in my chest. But then after seven

63
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>days the anger came back tenfold, and then I had

64
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to work through that. That was only like a three

65
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>week thing, because I kind of saw who I could be.

66
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Bill has asked about some of his early career jokes

67
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>about women. Bill said, if you watched my earlier stand up,

68
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>all that crap that I said had nothing to do

69
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>with women. It had to the fact with it. I

70
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't know how to get on with my life that

71
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get married, I wanted to be in love,

72
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to have kids, and I didn't know how

73
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 1>to do it. I didn't understand what my problem was,

74
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't know how to fix it. One of

75
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>my biggest fears when I was on her comic and

76
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 1>I looked at older comics and never got married, never

77
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 1>had kids. They were still doing shows and then hanging

78
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>out afterwards, trying to pick up chicks at the end

79
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>of it, and I was like, oh my god, I

80
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>don't ever want to be that guy. I wanted to

81
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>get married at twenty six and I have like five

82
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>or six kids, but I didn't know how to do it.

83
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 1>Good stuff there, We'll pick at that over the next

84
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>few days. Brad Paisley Country Music Store. He's doing a

85
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>comedy benefit at Zany's in Nashville on April thirteenth to

86
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>benefit a free grocery store he operates with his wife.

87
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 1>That store is called The Store. The show was called

88
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Groceries with Dignity Comedy Without. Brad says, it's such an

89
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>amazing event in terms of the fact that comedy for

90
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>charity is my favorite way to raise money for anything.

91
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Most charity events are too long. Most of them are

92
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 1>asking a lot of people that attend. You're asking for money,

93
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>you're asking for time. You usually feed them a badly

94
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>catered meal. There's an auction that takes too long. None

95
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 1>of that is part of this. This is literally what

96
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>we call it. Groceries with Dignity Comedy Without. The Store

97
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>is a nonprofit organization that offers a free referral based

98
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>grocery restored at Nasville Families with Food Insecurity. They open

99
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>up their first location in twenty twenty. Last fall, I

100
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>reveal plans for a second store. Brad said, we really

101
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>thought this would take off, and it's great to see

102
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 1>that it did. No details yet on who's appearing. The

103
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 1>date is April thirteenth. Doors open five point fifteen, show

104
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 1>starts at six. It said. Zani's in Nashville. Ticket price

105
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>two hundred fifty dollars general admission. Before you're like two

106
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty dollars, please remember it's a fundraiser. I

107
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's going on at Amazon. George Lopez's special

108
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>came and went, and I didn't see any press about it.

109
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>So as I was putting the show together, I saw, oh,

110
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Eliza Slessenger spoke to the La Times because her special

111
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>came out last Tuesday. Now, aside from that, I suck

112
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and I'm terrible at podcasting, and I don't know how

113
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 1>to put a show together. I do every single day,

114
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>type in the words even if I don't record, I

115
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 1>type in the words comedy and comedian into Google, and

116
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I visit five six seven websites. And I didn't say

117
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 1>a thing about Eliza's special coming out, or I would

118
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 1>have mentioned it. Somehow fell off my radar. Also, what

119
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I normally do is if I don't know if Joe

120
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Comedian announces as special on June sixth, I work off

121
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>an app called agenda. And what I will do is

122
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I will start a file labeled June sixth, and I

123
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>will put in there Joe Comedian Special out on surface today,

124
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 1>and that way, when the day rolls around, I know

125
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 1>it's there. Eliza came and went so Amazon, I don't

126
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>know what's going on. You make the Hulu publicists look awesome.

127
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Haley Times asked Eliza the title of your special, which

128
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>apparently came out last Tuesday, A Different Animal is an

129
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 1>aggressive title, but it also seems like it's got a

130
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>bunch of layers to it. How do you think the

131
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 1>title relates to your comedy? Eliza said, I wanted to

132
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 1>do something that was very me, but also my comedy

133
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit of force, that aggression built into it.

134
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>But I did want to sort of announce that I'm

135
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>on this new platform, Prime Video, and I think what

136
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I bring as a performer is different. Every comic should

137
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>feel that they're bringing something unique. Otherwise, why are you

138
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>an artist? In a literal way? My comedy is a

139
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>different animal because I do these animal sounds during my show,

140
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very theatrical, and what I do this is

141
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 1>different comedy than what you might get somewhere else. I

142
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 1>think I create a very special product. She then talks

143
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>about putting on a show and says somebody came up

144
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>with having Eliza and big letter behind me because the

145
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>ideas you're watching this and just in case you forget

146
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 1>who you're watching. We always wanted it to be on screen,

147
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to be fun and polished and visually appealing.

148
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>I thought about doing everything in white, and Amazon was like,

149
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be a little hard to watch the whole time.

150
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 1>They're like, you should be the whitest thing about your set.

151
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 1>She explains, I'm the first one to perform in leggings

152
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and sneakers when I'm on tour, but for a special

153
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it should be special. Ela Times said, having seen around

154
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>town in La you do multiple sets to night and

155
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>you're very focused, stressed down, and very inconspicuous. What's your

156
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>mentality when you're in that mode? Eliza said, I believe

157
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 1>in loving the work, so when I go out at night,

158
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm there to get something out of it. Always do

159
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the set, even if you don't feel well, even when

160
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 1>you're tired. If there's no real reason to stay home,

161
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 1>like if you have flu, maybe okay, stay home, don't

162
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>spread it around or due I think maybe COVID was

163
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 1>started by a bunch of male comics just breathing on

164
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>a microphone, but I'm there to do work, and I'm

165
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>there to find all the little weak points. I'm there

166
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to find new things. I'm there to find tags. So

167
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not on the road, I'll get up like

168
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 1>two three times a night. I don't do three sets

169
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>as often as I used to you because by the

170
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 1>third set, even if it's only a twenty minute set,

171
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm still like, did I already say this to you?

172
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Or was that the other club boy? I know that feeling,

173
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>especially when I record by out of sequence, I'm like,

174
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>did I say this one yet? I either can't remember

175
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>if I've told the story or if I've told the

176
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 1>story two days from now, if you know what I mean. Plus,

177
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 1>I also host the weekly comedy thing on the Live

178
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>one app and some stories get done here and there,

179
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and it usually happens when I'm recording that show. I'm like,

180
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>did I say this already? I feel like I did

181
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>this one already. I try and keep good notes, Eliza said,

182
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 1>I try to get up a few times a night

183
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 1>because I don't write anything down, so it's all in

184
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 1>my head. And so for me, it's about retaining remembering

185
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the muscle memory of what gonna laugh last time? The

186
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.639
<v Speaker 1>only times thought it was crazy that she doesn't write

187
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>anything down. She said, I write down like a word,

188
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 1>like I'll say gello, and then that's my mental cue

189
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 1>to remember the entire bit. Even though my memory feel

190
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 1>shot since becoming a mom. I'm a big believer in

191
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the repetition that is the workout. So I'll do a

192
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.399
<v Speaker 1>lot of shows where I riff. If you come see

193
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>me in Hollywood, chances are I'm making up like a

194
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>third of what I'm saying there, and then I feel

195
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>like whatever's good sticks, and that's how we arrive at

196
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 1>the hour Gavie Igleacias got his hands in the cement

197
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>over at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Gabe said,

198
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 1>the emotions are going, It's very overwhelming. He paid tribute

199
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to other Latino entertainers who came before him with a

200
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>shirt featuring photos of Vincente Fernandez, Chess Burrito, Desi, Ornez,

201
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>John Like Guizamo, George Lopez, and Freddie Prinz. Gabe said,

202
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I thought, if I could find a way, how do

203
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you say a lot without saying anything? So I had

204
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>this shirt made to showcase this. I love it. I

205
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 1>spent my childhood coming down here with my family. So

206
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I'm here now means a lot, not

207
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 1>just me, but being Mexican. It's like, this guy can

208
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 1>do it, why can't I do it? Everybody is a dream?

209
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:22.839
<v Speaker 1>What's your dream? And what are you doing to make

210
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 1>it happen? People are mad at Jennifer Huts and she

211
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>did a promo about her guest, Kevin Hart. They put

212
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.399
<v Speaker 1>out picture out on social media. You see Jennifer's why

213
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the queen's accent came out there? Uh drop the accent.

214
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You see Jennifer smiling brightly in the frame where you

215
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 1>can only see Kevin Hart from the forehead and up.

216
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>One person on social media said, for the first time

217
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.399
<v Speaker 1>in my life, I have felt secondhand disrespect. Johnny. You

218
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 1>never talk about John Mlanie. I know right. Late Nighter

219
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>had a cute story. David Letterman has given an Emmy

220
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>statue that Letterman won for him. My next guest needs

221
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 1>no introduction. He gave it to John m'laney's father, who

222
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>appeared in the episode that won the award. Lanie's father

223
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 1>recently got a package from Lenorman. Dave wrote a note,

224
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I found this extra Ammy in a closet. I told

225
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 1>the kids. Let's give it to Chip, So here you go.

226
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.919
<v Speaker 1>I hope you love it the way television people love it,

227
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 1>and it's solid gold. Spinal Tap two The End continues

251
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Before we go, I just wanted to touch on one

252
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>thing that's been creeping up a little bit, specifically in

253
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the Apple podcast reviews. Some people don't seem to enjoy

254
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 1>the feed drops that you get on Apple podcasts that

255
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>say you may also like and then you get an

256
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>episode of something. Let me just be transparent here. So

257
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 1>why did I start this podcast? A few reasons. One,

258
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 1>I was already hosting the Weekly Comedy Thing. That's a

259
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>weekly show I host on the Live One app. I'm

260
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>paid to host that show. I put the show together

261
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and I was noticing increasingly as they put the show together,

262
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I had all this extra material, and I'm like, Eh,

263
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 1>why don't I turn a podcast to that? So that's

264
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 1>one two emotionally, and I've talked about this when I

265
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>was serious. I built all these comedy channels. I put

266
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>my heart and soul and I build this thing. It's

267
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 1>super popular for ten years, and then I get tagged

268
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:15.879
<v Speaker 1>out because I got a new boss who wanted to

269
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>hire his assistant from Philadelphia and I basically got fired

270
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>for no reason, so kind of annoying. So emotionally, this

271
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 1>show you're listening to right now, it's mine. It's not

272
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.559
<v Speaker 1>for sale. You can't have it. I'm not going to

273
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>sell it to you. Maybe it sucks, maybe you hate it.

274
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I hated if you're listening this far in,

275
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>but it's mine. So emotionally, this is mine, right And

276
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.159
<v Speaker 1>then also I like to make money. Podcasting is my job.

277
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm making money off this and the other shows on

278
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Calaruga Shark Media, including Palace Intrigue and Five Good News Stories.

279
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>We put out the shows, we put commercials in the middle.

280
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 1>If you don't want the commercials, we have the premium subscription.

281
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Totally get it. But you know, I put a couple

282
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>hours into this every day, specifically this one show, and

283
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 1>it's nice to turn a buck. So the feed drops

284
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>they pay really well, Like they pay really really well.

285
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I wish you could see my face right now. I'm

286
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>looking at you in the ass going. It pays really well.

287
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 1>So I get it. I personally, I listen on podecasts

288
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and I don't see those drops at all. They're specific

289
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Apple Podcasts app and they go in as

290
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>bonus episodes. So if they're annoying you, Pockecast is a

291
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty good app. But like, I totally get it, and

292
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I hope you can understand where I'm coming from, all right,

293
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>see tomorrow
