Speaker 2: Let's start with Bill Burr. Did you see this video
Speaker 2: circulating on the social media's? Bill Burr was there at
Speaker 2: the Mark Twain Conan O'Brien thing mine in his own
Speaker 2: business more or less the most a canon on a
Speaker 2: red carpet of sorts, and a reporter asked Bill Burr
Speaker 2: a question. I will let Bill Burr handle this himself.
Speaker 1: How about your reaction to Beligi MAGGIONI is reading up
Speaker 1: you know that perhaps you've been supportive of what he did.
Speaker 2: What is your take on that?
Speaker 1: If you were reading up, I don't get you read
Speaker 1: up on it because I said what I felt about it,
Speaker 1: and I said what a lot of people he said
Speaker 1: took it that way? So could you clarify how? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to just have some controversial moments you
Speaker 1: can get clicks. I'm not doing that. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: here to call it. I'm not I'm not doing all
Speaker 1: of this. What are you gonna bring up next to
Speaker 1: the Middle East? I went to summer school three out
Speaker 1: of four years in high school. I'm not qualified to
Speaker 1: talk about this. What are you warming?
Speaker 2: He said about Elon that he was ruining ear if
Speaker 2: I saw in the view, you're critical of him? What
Speaker 2: do you think of all the boycotts, even the violin?
Speaker 1: I don't watch the news. I don't watch the news.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's going on. I watch Instagram.
Speaker 1: I watch people wipe out on motorcycles. I watch lions
Speaker 1: and hyenas fight each other. This is the things that
Speaker 1: I do. And I don't think you should be asking
Speaker 1: a comedian.
Speaker 2: Your journal medians are on top of current events.
Speaker 1: You're a no, no, that's that's weak that you guys
Speaker 1: passing the buck. You guys need to have balls again,
Speaker 1: which you don't. You guys always goes.
Speaker 2: Should we be thinking this?
Speaker 1: You guys present stuff like that. You guys used to
Speaker 1: have balls. You need to get your balls back. And
Speaker 1: it's not my job. I am a dancing clown.
Speaker 2: Wow, how do you really feel? Bill Awful Announcing was
Speaker 2: checking out the Flagrant with Andrew Schultz. Currently Andrew and
Speaker 2: retired NFL safety and NFL analyst Ryan Clark had been
Speaker 2: going back and forth as Offlin announcing recaps it. Schultz
Speaker 2: had riffed on the idea of Megan Marko cleaning up
Speaker 2: the British royal family and described the Black Girl for
Speaker 2: An Effect as women stressing their boyfriends out and slapping
Speaker 2: them a sidebar, palace intrigue. Wherever you get your shows,
Speaker 2: we talk about the Royal Family. I'm the writer about it.
Speaker 2: Today's episodes about Megan. Megan's Big podcast is out tomorrow,
Speaker 2: so tomorrow is gonna be about Meghan. Wednesday's gonna be
Speaker 2: about Meghan. It's gonna be a Megan kind of week.
Speaker 2: But back to Schultz. Clark had responded to the original
Speaker 2: Schultz segment on The Pivot, claiming that Schultz was racist.
Speaker 2: Schultz sat down for an interview on The Pivot himself
Speaker 2: and acknowledged the joke didn't land as well as it
Speaker 2: could have, but defended himself against the accusation that he
Speaker 2: is racist or the joke is racist. Andrew said the
Speaker 2: joke wasn't funny enough for how much it hurt people
Speaker 2: and their titles over they wuldn't feel about it. I
Speaker 2: just don't like getting into territory of that's how he
Speaker 2: really feels, and he's just using it a smoke screen
Speaker 2: for he really feels. And now what happened is I
Speaker 2: just wanted us to laugh. Clark explained that he believes
Speaker 2: can perpetuate stereotypes and give the audience permission to harbor
Speaker 2: negative views of certain types of people. Clark explained he
Speaker 2: believes Schultz can perpetuate stereotypes and give the audience permission
Speaker 2: to harbor negative views to people that might see that,
Speaker 2: they'll go, well, Andre Schultz made this stroke about black
Speaker 2: women and there were two black men sitting across from them.
Speaker 2: This must be true, so I can go behave like
Speaker 2: he behaves. Clark explained his intention was to use Schultz's
Speaker 2: comments to have a discussion, not to paint Schultz in
Speaker 2: any particular way. Schultz said, I hope that people maybe
Speaker 2: learn more about me and they say that I don't
Speaker 2: have bad intentions for people. I make fun of everybody.
Speaker 2: I hope that they learned that. But I understand that
Speaker 2: as I get there, we're gonna have these little things
Speaker 2: that we stumble across, and people's feelings are gonna be hurt,
Speaker 2: and it sucks. Well. That situation I thought people would
Speaker 2: see is I'm not doing that choke in front of
Speaker 2: two white guys in a room. I'm doing it where
Speaker 2: there are two black guys in the room as well.
Speaker 2: I thought it would communicate that there's good faith here,
Speaker 2: there's no real animosity or that kind of stuff. Joe

Speaker 2: with excitement to be releasing both my film and my
Speaker 2: comedy special in theaters across America. Going to the movies
Speaker 2: has always been my favorite thing to do since I
Speaker 2: was a little kid, and I'm so proud to get
Speaker 2: to show these in a cinema. To me, there's nothing
Speaker 2: more special than watching a movie in the dark with
Speaker 2: a strange group of people w come out. Bell discussed
Speaker 2: his return to comedy with The Herald Times Online. Bell said,
Speaker 2: I started my return last year. I'll tell you how
Speaker 2: quick American history moves. I think the conversation I started
Speaker 2: a set with was I think Biden might be told
Speaker 2: to be president. I think for me, the need to
Speaker 2: come back was that my wife saw me walking around
Speaker 2: the house talking to myself and laughing and was like,
Speaker 2: maybe you need to come back to comedy. I really
Speaker 2: thought I was retired. That's interesting. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 2: I just thought he was off doing TV projects. I
Speaker 2: really thought I was retired. But then I realized I
Speaker 2: sort of had the edge. And I've been away for
Speaker 2: five years, which is five years of personal stories to
Speaker 2: tell that I hadn't shared with an audience. Last time
Speaker 2: I did comedy, had two kids, and now I have three.
Speaker 2: So it's like, what's going on in the world, What's
Speaker 2: going on with me? How old is w come out Bell.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess forty seven. Answer is fifty two born
Speaker 2: January twenty sixth, nineteen seventy three. A little early to retire.
Speaker 2: You gott at least do a podcast out of your basement.
Speaker 2: You gotta keep yourself busy, trust me, come, I says
Speaker 2: in this era, I really love watching George Carlin because
Speaker 2: it does a great job at balancing where you can
Speaker 2: do this one liner that's amazing, and can also talk
Speaker 2: for ten minutes and not get one laugh and then
Speaker 2: get the laugh at the end. I think there's different
Speaker 2: ways to do comedy depending on the subject. They also
Speaker 2: asked him about Celebrity Jeopardy. Belle said, celebrities Jeopardy is
Speaker 2: always funny because people look at it and go, these
Speaker 2: are celebrities. I don't know any of these people. Well,
Speaker 2: we're the ones who are available. Tom Cruise isn't taking
Speaker 2: a call from Celebrity Jeopardy. You get come out Bell
Speaker 2: and his friends. Okay, I'm gonna do one more story,
Speaker 2: and then the second story here is going to be
Speaker 2: the one that I don't want your kids to hear. Okay,
Speaker 2: so get rid of the kids. But first, while you're
Speaker 2: kicking the kids out of the car, don't kick the
Speaker 2: kids out of the car. That's not a good thing
Speaker 2: to do, you know what I mean. Turn it off,
Speaker 2: hit pause, go in the other room, do something, but
Speaker 2: don't kick the kids out of the car. That's very dangerous.
Speaker 2: Daily Comedy News officially is again kicking kids out of
Speaker 2: the car. NBC is doing a tribute to Joe Rivers

Speaker 2: Melissa Rivers. That's fun. I knew Joan. I worked with Joan.
Speaker 2: I've got Jones stories. I only have good things to

Speaker 2: save those for another day. All right, you got your
Speaker 2: headphones on low. Kids are in the other room. You
Speaker 2: hit pause, they went to sleep. They're not around. Arguably
