00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, John, this is what we call a new top,

2
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.599
<v Speaker 1>where you take something and you put a new opening

3
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:08.839
<v Speaker 1>on it. I had already recorded today's episode to accommodate

4
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>my teaching schedule yesterday, but just there's a few things

5
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>out there that I didn't want to let go another day.

6
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Krackt wrote a really nice piece about Rob Reiner and

7
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>his influence on comedy. Excerpting from the Cracked piece, they wrote,

8
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it couldn't have been easy to be the son of

9
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Carl Reiner, creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show, comedy

10
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>partner to Mel Brooks, and frequent director of the early

11
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>movies of Steve Martin. But somehow Rob Reiner not only

12
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>met his father's legacy, but arguably surpassed it. It started

13
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>with young Reiner being cast as Hollywood's resident hippie in

14
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 1>several nineteen sixty sitcoms like The Beverly Hillbillies, Batman, and

15
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>The Long Haired Peace Lover Who Turns Gomer Pyle onto

16
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the Counterculture. Those roles led to Reiner beating out Richard

17
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Dreyfus and Harrison Ford for the part of Archie Bunker's

18
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>meadhead son in law Mike Stivick on all in the family.

19
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize those guys were up for it. Wow.

20
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Rob won two Emmy Awards for delivering liberal counterpunches to

21
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Archie's bigoted diet tribes. I'm shocked that that hasn't come

22
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>back in modern times. It just seems kind of perfect

23
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 1>to have an Archie Bunker like character and somebody in

24
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the mike'stivic role. Maybe it's too much of a shadow

25
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>to cast, but we've brought everything else back. I was

26
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>really surprised before the Biden administration, I'll put it that way,

27
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>that it didn't come back, and I'm kind of surprised

28
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not back now crack rights. For comedy fans, Reiner's

29
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>lasting contribution will be This Is Spinal Tap, the mockumentary

30
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that cut so close to the satirical bone that many

31
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 1>early audiences thought the band was the genuine article. The

32
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>director's underrated, deadpan performance as Marty Devergie made him the

33
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>perfect straight man Foyle. Reiner's movie wasn't the first mock documentary,

34
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 1>but was the most influential, inspiring the Christopher Guest films

35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>as well as a generation of street to camera sitcoms

36
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>like The Office. On his website. Ricky Gervay says it

37
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 1>was a big thing for me. When I first saw

38
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>this as spinal Tap in about nineteen eighty three, I

39
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>immediately watched it again. I can't remember a film I've

40
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>done that with before or since. To get so deep

41
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 1>into the genre that they were spoofing the details of

42
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>human behavior, and then to do it all and someone

43
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>else's native accent just blew me away. There's just a

44
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>few things that go to comedy Heaven. While I've got

45
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>you a few other things in the news. Amy Schumer

46
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 1>did announce her divorce over the weekend. Really weird statement.

47
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll dive into that tomorrow. I've got some thoughts about it.

48
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Watch two comedy specials and Boy if you like the

49
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>comedy stock Market segment on Friday, it was on point.

50
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I had warned you all that I didn't think America

51
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>was ready for Sarah Sherman's Sarah Squirm persona and Boy.

52
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>According to the conversation in the Facebook group Daily Comedy

53
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>News podcast group, people were not feeling Sarah's Squirm. I

54
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>put it on and I was like, this is pretty good.

55
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>What's the problem with everybody? And twenty minutes in it

56
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>just fatigued me. It's just a lot. It's not bad,

57
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>it's not horrific like George Lopez's Amazon special. It's just

58
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot, like a lot coming at you and your

59
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>brain has to work really hard to watch it. And

60
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>then she went into a routine that just dragged for

61
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>me and I have comedy add and I wound up

62
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>pushing that exit button on the remote and watched two

63
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 1>episodes of the Diplomat. The new season's pretty good. Then

64
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday night it was footballed out and I watched

65
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Robbie Hoffman Special on Netflix. Okay, that one is fantastic.

66
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure it ranks, but it's in the conversation

67
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in that top tier. So my top tier if you

68
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>listen to Saturday's episode was Maren and then Kevin Hart

69
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 1>and Matt Rife. Robbie Special is in the conversation with

70
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Hart and Matt Rife. Now those two are probably

71
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>pound funnier, but Robbie, same thing I said about Kevin

72
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Hart Versarah Silverman. Robbie is doing higher art. It might

73
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>be the second best special year. At worst, it's fourth.

74
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't watched Robbie Hoffman on Netflix, do it

75
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, So those are new thoughts, and now let's

76
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>join the originally recorded Tuesday episode Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there,

77
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Anthony Jill

78
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>spoke with Vulture about his book club that he's starting.

79
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Now we'll get into that tomorrow because I like when

80
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 1>comedians mix it up. The question here for jessel Nick

81
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 1>was what do you think about Bill Burr's year? Now,

82
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 1>that's interesting, phrazing, because I said on Sunday's podcast, right,

83
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Bill Burr had the worst year in comedy.

84
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 1>So it's interesting that that's out there beyond just me

85
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 1>saying it. Vulture said, I think he's taking the biggest

86
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>hit out of the Rion Comedy Festival thing. Jessl Nick said, Oh,

87
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 1>I've been really surprised by how much he kept talking

88
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>about it. I was shocked to see his name on it.

89
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I got offered this thing way in the beginning, and

90
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>I just saw the name of the rules and was like, Nope,

91
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not. I was not thinking this would be a

92
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>real thing. I was thinking, this isn't gonna happen. Why

93
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 1>would you say yes to this? And then I saw

94
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the announcement realized everyone said yes to this. Everyone seems embarrassed.

95
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>But Burr is doubling and tripling down, whereas Pete Davidson

96
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 1>was just like I said, I'd go and I saw

97
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the money and then people leave him alone. But with Burr,

98
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it's insane to me that he would be so dumb.

99
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 1>It's just shocking that he didn't know what would come

100
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>for him, and then to be fighting with everyone screaming

101
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 1>at Mark Marrin publicly, it's just wild to me. I

102
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 1>haven't talked with him at all, but I just been stunned.

103
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>He's the one name that stuns me. No one's like, oh,

104
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Hart Wow. And it wasn't just defensive. He came

105
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 1>out and was like, they're just like us. They've got

106
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 1>the chimberlaind and the Applebee's. He was doing as much

107
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>pr for them after the fact as he possibly could,

108
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 1>which was like, what did you think the money was for?

109
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just for the event. Esa Neck revealed how

110
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>much he was offered to do it, and it seems

111
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 1>like this is a real number because it's the same

112
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>number Tim Dillon gave Justin Nick said it was a

113
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of money. I want to say it was around

114
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and listen, I bought

115
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>a house. I could have used it. But it doesn't matter.

116
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>If it was three hundred and fifty million dollars, I

117
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>couldn't have done it. Comedy is so capitalistic, and I

118
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>think the people that have podcast just didn't want to

119
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>miss out on that money on the table, and then

120
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 1>they didn't realize how big a thing it was going

121
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>to be. And it's a lot of money, but not

122
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 1>that much money, you know, not enough that you couldn't

123
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>make it up in two shows. For Burr, it seems

124
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>like he's trying to set up going back like an

125
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 1>annuale once a year. I performed there part of his tour.

126
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>That's repulsive, jess On, I continued. I thought that two

127
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>weeks later no one would care, but when I mentioned

128
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the Rion Comedy Festival on stage, people go nuts. They

129
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>love it as a punchline. They want your opinion. I

130
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>don't I think that's going away anytime soon. People who

131
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>have no idea about the journalist killed just want to

132
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>hear about this stupid cash grab. I wonder how long

133
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 1>it lasts, and I'll be surprised if Burr's Neck Special

134
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 1>isn't addressing most of it awesome. I hope Burr Fire's back.

135
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Mack likes when the comedians mix it up. Sketch

<v Speaker 1>Robert Smigel, Paul F. Tompkins, the UCB, and many others.

149
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Michelle Wolf was on The Good One podcast. She talked

150
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.319
<v Speaker 1>about putting clips on Instagram and said, yeah, I used

151
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 1>to get paid thousands of dollars to do these shows.

152
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Now more people watch them and I get zero. But

153
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I understand I do it in the hopes that I

154
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 1>gained people who are like I like her comedy. If

155
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 1>you like this joke, then hopefully you buy a tickety,

156
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>watch a special whatever else I might be doing next.

157
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'd be quite honest how at this point, I'm

158
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>just trying to a massive following, and sometimes I put

159
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>up jokes and people like, ugh, unfollow and I'm like, good,

160
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>get out, it's not for you. I want my audience

161
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to be people that like my comedy. They don't have

162
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 1>to love every joke I do, but I don't want

163
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 1>to have to edit myself for my followers. She talked

164
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>about the time she hosted the White House Correspondence Dinner

165
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and said, I think if I could do it all

166
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 1>over again, I would have been meaner. I would have

167
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 1>gone harder. The jokes I said about Sarah Sanders weren't

168
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>actually mean. Everyone said I made fun of her appearance.

169
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 1>I definitely did not. I complimented her makeup and said

170
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>she told lies, which she does. I knew the points

171
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I was making, and I was very happy to make

172
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>those points. But I also feel like I was fairly restrained.

173
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Had I known what the reaction was going to be

174
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and how strongly people would have reacted, I would have

175
00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>gone harder. If you're gonna get mad at me for joke,

176
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>then let them actually be mean jokes. As far as

177
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 1>roast goes, what I said about Sarah Sanders was very

178
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 1>team well. If continued in a normal correspondence dinner, the

179
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>community makes fun of the president, and the president gets

180
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 1>up and makes fun of everybody, including the comedian. But

181
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that didn't happen, which is me up there making fun

182
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.959
<v Speaker 1>of Sarah Sanders, who was there in place of the president.

183
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>I'd much rather tell jokes to someone's face than behind

184
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>their back. John Oliver poked fun at President Trump's three

185
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 1>hundred million dollar ballroom. Oliver was an event that highlights

186
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the twelve million children in the United States that grew

187
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 1>up in poverty each year. Oliver said at the Comic

188
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Relief Live event in New York City, it's wild to

189
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>get a news alert saying that President Donald Trump just

190
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>demolished the East wing of the White House thirty years ago.

191
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Every element of that sentence would have sounded completely insane.

192
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Nobody gives a hoot about ballrooms, apart from people who

193
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 1>like ballrooms, who were all chirke holes. He some alternate

194
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 1>language there, Sarah Sherman. Boy, she's out there promoting things

195
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.639
<v Speaker 1>like she's almost like a Kevin Hart levels of like, Okay,

196
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.639
<v Speaker 1>tap the brakes, your special come out to talk to everybody. Relax.

197
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 1>She spoke to grub Street and said, I wake up

198
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>at ten am and I forced my boyfriend to make

199
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 1>coffee at gunpoint, and then she wrote, yeah boyfriend. Sorry, ladies,

200
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I have two cups before realizing I haven't had any water,

201
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:14.639
<v Speaker 1>so I fill up a Stanley cup and drink the

202
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 1>entire thing in one sitting. I don't love Stanley cups,

203
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 1>but bow and Yang gave me a wicked one he

204
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>got for being in the movie. And if Bowen gives

205
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>me something, it becomes one of my most prized possessions.

206
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 1>On this particular day, she was off from Snell and

207
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>not touring, which made her happy. She explains, at work,

208
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.799
<v Speaker 1>I eat approximately eighty five pounds of chips, and die

209
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>coke every five seconds. By noon, I drink approximately one

210
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred more cups of coffee and only realize I've had

211
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>too much once I start feeling a crazy panic attack

212
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>coming on. Not a capital P capital a panic attack,

213
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 1>just a small, low gray Jewish one. I usually have

214
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>about three to four small Jewish panic attacks a day.

215
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm starving, so I eat some weird overnight oats thing.

216
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I found out a fancy supermarket called Mush that ran

217
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>only has fifteen grams of protein in it. Why are

218
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>all the girl he's addicted to protein all of a sudden?

219
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Did everyone become a bodybuilder overnight? What am I missing here? Her?

220
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Carr revealed that his mother's death left him with

221
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 1>an unhealthy relationship with food and how the fear of

222
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 1>dying young drives his obsession with dieting and weight. Jimmy Carr,

223
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>who is fifty three, was very close to his mother, Nora.

224
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>She passed away at age fifty seven after a battle

225
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 1>with pancreatitis. Jimmy explained, my mother didn't look after herself,

226
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>was maybe a little bit overweight. She was unhealthy, and

227
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>then she got sick and then she died and That's

228
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.919
<v Speaker 1>not lost on me in terms of I'm very particular

229
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>about trying to keep myself trim. I don't think I

230
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>have an eating disorder, but I certainly have a strange

231
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 1>relationship with food. Jimmy says he does not exercise as

232
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>much as I could. I'd like to do more, but

233
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it's finding the time. Jimmy's playing an arena show in

234
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Manchester tonight. He says he's looking forward to spending Christmas

235
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>with his family. He explains, I've got little kids and stuff,

236
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's kind of joyful. It's a great time of year.

237
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm worry that people are a bit isolated, but Christmas

238
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 1>brings those little interactions. You go to the carol service,

239
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.279
<v Speaker 1>you go to the midnight Mass. Doesn't matter whether you

240
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 1>believe or not, just nice to sing a song. A

241
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>partner on Trilla till the Cut, I'm someone who wants

242
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to fix my life in five easy steps. But I

243
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>also have a very loud existential voice that says there

244
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>are no five steps. None of us knows what we're doing.

245
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>We're all floundering. Those are two opposing forces for me.

246
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 1>A partner who's fantastic has a new special ad on dropout.

247
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>It is called Hopeful Potato. Hannibal burs he's just back

248
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 1>from the Riad Comedy Festival, and the city of Miami

249
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 1>apparently has agreed to settle a lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged

250
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that one of the Miami police officers falsely arrested Hannibal

251
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Burst in twenty seventeen on a bogus disorderly intoxication charge.

252
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Reports are the Hannibal and the city's attorneys decided to

253
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>settle the case. Back in twenty seventeen, Hannibal was walking

254
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 1>to his hotel from a bar after a night of

255
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>drinking with some friends. As the story goes, Hannibal asked

256
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 1>the police officer if he could give the officer twenty

257
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>dollars to call him an uber ride to his hotel

258
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>because his phone battery was dead. The officer declined. Then

259
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>something happens and the police officer orders Hannibal off the street.

260
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Hannibal went into a bar looking for a charger. The

261
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>officer followed in told him to leave for being quote

262
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.759
<v Speaker 1>too drunk, as the story goes, outside, the police officer

263
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 1>activated his body camera, capturing the encounter that led to

264
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Hannibal's arrest. Hannibal apparently said to the body worn camera, Hey,

265
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 1>what's up. It's me, Hannibal Burris. This cop is stupid

266
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>as f The police officer cautioned Buris to leave. Camera.

267
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Footage released by the police department as Hannibal saying into

268
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the camera, hey, what's up. YouTube the police officer says,

269
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.919
<v Speaker 1>all right, put your hands behind your back. Hannibal arrested

270
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>for misdemeanor disorderly intoxication. That charge was later dropped. Three

271
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 1>years later, Hannibal filed a federal lawsuit against the city,

272
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the police department, and two police officers, alleging wrongful arrest.

273
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Some appeals and stuff, and now it seems that they

274
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 1>have settled it. That's your comedy news for today. See tomorrow.
