00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga, Shock Media.

2
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Hey there, busy one today, I'm Johnny mag with your

3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 2>daily comedy names. Let me do the eight block and

4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>then I'll tell you what's going on long show today. Shockingly,

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe this. After Midnight canceled by CBS. It

6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 2>seems like it was a mutual decision. Taylor Tomlinson has

7
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.800
<v Speaker 2>decided to return to stand up. I saw this just

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 2>after I put Thursday's show to bed, and I was like, WHOA.

9
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately I couldn't jump in and make an edit. Sometimes

10
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I have to do other things, like prep what I

11
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>had to teach at my college class on Thursday. Warning,

12
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Taylor explains, I'm doing less stand up than I was

13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 2>before hosting After Midnight. I was on tour three weekends

14
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 2>a month for years. So to take this job and

15
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm always gonna have to scale back a little bit,

16
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>was a very difficult decision for me. I wasn't sure

17
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>if it was something I want to do or not,

18
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>because stand up is the most important thing to me.

19
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 2>It's the most rewarding thing I'll Last month, during a

20
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>panel at south By, Taylor said, I'm doing less stand

21
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>up than I was before hosting After midnight. I was

22
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>on tour three weekends a month for years, so to

23
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 2>take the job and know that I was gonna have

24
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>to scale back a little bit was very difficult for me.

25
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't sure if it was something I wanted to

26
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>do or not. Because stand up is the most important

27
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>thing to me, It's the most rewarding thing. I was

28
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>very clear about that in the interview process. I was like,

29
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>just so you know, this will never be my first love.

30
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>This show will never be my thing thing. Stand up

31
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>is the most important thing to me, and as long

32
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>as I can do both, I'd love to do both.

33
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Apparently she meant. In a statement, Taylor Thomlinson thanked Stephen Colbert,

34
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>producer of the show, justa thank thee staff, and cru

35
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 2>CBS says it will not come up with a new

36
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>twelve thirty show. I don't think that's crazy. I think

37
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 2>it's a different time, and I was thinking back even

38
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>when Letterman was on, my godmother bought me a VCR

39
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 2>and it was the greatest thing ever. I never watched

40
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Letterman live after that. In the early days before the VCR,

41
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>in the summer, I would stay up until one o'clock

42
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>in the morning He couldn't even make it to the

43
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 2>end of a Letterman even though I was a teenager

44
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>during school. Forget it, watch a show twelve thirty, How's

45
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 2>that gonna happen? And Letterman wasn't even on on Friday.

46
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>They had Friday night videos, so you couldn't even stay

47
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>up late the one day. But I remember the summer

48
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>staying up waiting for Dave to come on at twelve thirty,

49
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>which is how I wound up watching Johnny Carson. It

50
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>was the thing you stared at to kill time until

51
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>twelve thirty. No Internet, we had five channels. Totally different

52
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>time guys. I lived in Queens, New York. Queen's New

53
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Work wasn't wired for cable until nineteen eighty seven, So yeah,

54
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 2>he stared at Johnny Carson. Eventually Dave came on. I

55
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>digress CBS not coming up on the new twelve thirty show.

56
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's crazy at all. There's also some

57
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 2>industry speculation. Now will NBC react in tel Seth Meyers, Hey,

58
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 2>thanks man Seth. If somebody says SNL, you might want

59
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>to grab that gig. Unfortunately, as many as two hundred

60
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>staffers could be affected by the decision do two hundred

61
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>people work on After Midnight? Now, I get there were writers.

62
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I get this, a support staff, somebody's paying the bills,

63
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>somebody's building the sets, somebody's booking the guests, somebody's letting

64
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>the crowd in, somebody's editing the tape. I got it.

65
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Two hundred Yeah, that sounds like a lot. I worked

66
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>on a TV show, Doctor Joy Brown had a syndicated

67
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>talk show. Let's say that was when I got my

68
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 2>first computer and cell phone Circle ninety five ninety six.

69
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>That was an hour a day, five days a week.

70
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I could tell you we didn't have two hundred people,

71
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>but it was also a different time. The entire social

72
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>media team was me, but there wasn't much social media

73
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 2>to be done in nineteen ninety five. It was more

74
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>like going on O, going like AOL chats and stuff,

75
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>trying to promote the show. I digress again. Late nighter,

76
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>watched the end of Colbert's show and at the end,

77
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Steven said, this is the part of the show where

78
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 2>I usually say stick around for Taylor Thompson on After Midnight.

79
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoy doing that, not just because I'm an

80
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>executive producer on that show, but because she's incredibly funny

81
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and I really liked that show. Unfortunately, After Midnight is

82
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 2>going to end in June. I believe the show had

83
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>been picked up for a third season, So this sounds

84
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 2>like Taylor has changed her mind and wants to go

85
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>back to stand up. That's what Taylor said in her statement.

86
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Colbert went on to reiterate what he had said in

87
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 2>his press statement. According to Late Nighter, CBS just gave

88
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 2>us a pick up for a third season, but Taylor

89
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>has decided to return his stand up full time. And

90
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 2>as someone who's done this job for twenty years, I

91
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>completely respect her enormously as a comedian, and I'm making

92
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>a very hard decision on how to best use her

93
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>time and talent. Colbert went on to thank CBS for

94
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 2>their support. I've been doing this a long time, and

95
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 2>you rarely have partners that good, Meaning CBS, you'd have

96
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>to work on one of these shows like we do

97
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 2>to understand all the time and effort the amazing staff

98
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>After Midnight put into it, not only launching a new show,

99
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 2>but also creating a new form of one of these

100
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 2>shows for a late night time slot. Are we going

101
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to pretend that Chris Hardwick didn't do this already. Are

102
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>we going to do that? Steven? Come on. It's hard

103
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>to try something new, and it's rare for a network

104
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>to say we'd like more of that. I think this

105
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>is a straight deal. I think Missus Taylor wanted to

106
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>go back to stand up. But I'm not going to

107
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 2>tell you that. My spidery sense isn't tingling. So if

108
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I come on here Monday and I'm like, oh, I've

109
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>got an update, don't be shocked. Did you watch John

110
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Mulaney this week? I haven't. I don't feel the need

111
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>to watch it, which is a shame because I was

112
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>so excited about it as I put together the show.

113
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>No milany related stories are organically coming to me. If

114
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 2>I type in John Mulaney, still kind of nothing. I

115
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 2>remember Pete Davidson was the guest and I typed in

116
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Pete Davidson, which surfaced something about mullaney. So I don't

117
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>think there's any buzz on that show. As I speak

118
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>to you, it is two twenty four pm on Thursday,

119
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to type in Netflix top ten. I

120
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>did this half an hour ago, so I know where

121
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going here. But I'm gonna do it again quote unquote,

122
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>live to you. So my source here is Netflix. I'm

123
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 2>on netflix dot com. Top ten shows in the United States.

124
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Number one Adolescents here, that's really good. Number two the Residents,

125
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>the guys at trivia we're talking about that. Three is

126
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>Burt Kreischer's lucky and so let's stop there. You know,

127
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>how do you define top ten? I don't know. Streamer

128
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 2>math can be a little wonky, and so you'll see

129
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>something like suits being quote unquote number one, but there's

130
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of suits. Like you could sit down and

131
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 2>watch sixteen hours of suits, which might increase whatever metric

132
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>they're looking at, total hours viewed whatever. Burt Kreischer it's

133
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>an hour, as is John mulaney. So there's a kind

134
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 2>of sort of equal. It's at least apples and a

135
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>different type of apple. It's not apples and oranges. So

136
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm comparing an hour of Burt Kreischer and an hour

137
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>of John mullaney. So again, one is adolescents, which again

138
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>you might binge and watch all four the Residents you

139
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 2>might binge and watch is there eight? I don't know.

140
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Three is Burt Kreischer. Four is the Saint Patrick's Day

141
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 2>episode of Raw. Not this week's the March seventeenth one.

142
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. Five is Temptation Island Season one, six, Miss

143
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Rachel Season one, seven, Running Point season one, eight, The

144
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Walking Dead, Dead City Season one nine, Zero Day Limited series.

145
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good. I watched that. Ten Beauty and Black

146
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>season one. What did I not mention? Let me click

147
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>on trending. Maybe it's trending my source here, Netflix dot Com.

148
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting from them. Let's see, they have not updated

149
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 2>their page since March thirteenth. I can't help you, John,

150
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I've now clicked on what to watch. They want us

151
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 2>to watch five chilling Stephen King adaptations you can stream

152
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 2>right now. This page hasn't been updated since March twelfth.

153
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna click on shows. My source Netflix dot Com

154
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>updated yesterday, meaning Wednesday, at eleven eleven am. Million Dollar Secret.

155
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 2>What to know about the players in their twisty new

156
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 2>game Popular Now Adolescens, Temptation Island, the residents? What am

157
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 2>I not mentioning? What word have I not said? That's right, listener, Mullaney,

158
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I have not said the word mullaney. There's no buzz

159
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 2>on this thing, even on Netflix's own site. I don't

160
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 2>know what to make of it. I not here to

161
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>bash John. You'll hear me talk with Jason Ziddaman from

162
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times on Sunday's episode. I have some

163
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 2>thoughts about the show, but it's not working right now,

164
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>all right. Pete Davidson was the guest this week, and

165
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>since it's Pete Davison, you have to ask him about

166
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>his dating history. Lunel was on the cat Shore whatever

167
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.079
<v Speaker 2>they have on Malleniy's show and says, I want to

168
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>know the mistique. To me, you're just an average guy,

169
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 2>regular guy, but you continuously pull all these bad B words, right,

170
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 2>so I don't get it. I want to know the mistique.

171
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 2>What I think for the researching for women across America

172
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>is you should take me out. Pete said, if that's

173
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.279
<v Speaker 2>what it takes to stop this, yeah, Mulaniy jumps in,

174
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>We're going to move off Pete's personal life. So I

175
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>wonder if that was disgusted in advance. Lunelle said, I

176
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>just thought I would shoot my shot, you know, because

177
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 2>people want to know what is the mistike. Pete said,

178
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Lunell, like, you're super fun, You're a

179
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 2>really good time. Pete seemed too embarrassed to answer the

180
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>question of burrent Lyny mulaney jumps in, he has a

181
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 2>real mystique. You have a real electricity to you. Mlaniey

182
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.879
<v Speaker 2>argued that Pete Davidson is a wonderful guy, probably to

183
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>go to bed with. Lunell said, I wasn't tearing him down.

184
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I just want to know. I want to say right now,

185
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to sleep with you, I think, but

186
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>I do want to go out. Pete said, Okay, that

187
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 2>sounds fair. Maybe I will put eyes on that one now.

188
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm intrigued. An update from yesterday's lead story. Remember I

189
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>tells you that the show was stopped at the Melbourne

190
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Comedy Fee Festival. Nothing funny here a man died during

191
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 2>the show. The man was in the back of the theater.

192
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Other members of the crowd attempted to give him emergency

193
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>care for about ten minutes before paramedics arrived. One audience

194
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 2>member said it felt wrong to hear laughter from other

195
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>folks in the crowd who were sitting closer to the

196
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 2>stage and had no idea what was going on in

197
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 2>the back of the venue of twenty nine hundred people.

198
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>The audience member said people started leaving on their own

199
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>accord by groups in the second act, particularly as CBR

200
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.799
<v Speaker 2>was going on, which you could see and ambulance was there.

201
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 2>He could hear defibllerator sounds from across the room. Lighting

202
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker 2>was dark, though still lighting off to see that a

203
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 2>lady and man were interchanging doing chess compressions.

204
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

205
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>One attendee told the Age paramedics had to commence their

206
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 2>care in the dark using flashlights because the show was

207
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.480
<v Speaker 2>still going on. It was the most disgraceful, disgusting thing

208
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.159
<v Speaker 2>I've ever witnessed. I don't think I was the only

209
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>person wondering if we were in some sort of dystopian

210
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker 2>parallel universe where we prioritized the show must go on

211
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>over human life. Others at the show said up to

212
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>three comedians kept doing their five minute sets after the

213
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>man became ill.

214
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

215
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>One audience member said it was only after a few

216
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 2>people were leaving got up and were loudly talking or

217
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 2>arguing with a staff member for leaning over and shouting

218
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 2>at the comedian on stage to stop the show. The

219
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 2>paramedics were there for good fifteen to twenty minutes in

220
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the dark doing CPR before the show stopped. Someone from

221
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the dress circle yelled to stop the show. Another guy yelled,

222
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 2>someone is dying. An audience member says lighting was dark.

223
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Though some comedians took to social media. Dave Hughes wrote,

224
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.039
<v Speaker 2>all performers thoughts are worthy, family affected to hear. Big

225
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Lick added, sad news but correctly handled all round, Well

226
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 2>done everyone and thoughts with those involved. I was in there.

227
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's going on there. I also don't

228
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 2>know what's going on with Nicki Glazer. A couple weird

229
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>headlines from thenews dot co dot uk that's an Australian website.

230
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>The headline Gwyneth Paltrow exposes comedian Nicki Glazer for wanting

231
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>to f her ex Ben Affleck, subheading Gwyneth has called

232
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 2>out Nicki Glazer for wanting to hook up with Ben.

233
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>I paraphrase that a little bit this happened on the

234
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Goop podcast on Tuesday. Glazier would apparently find Ben on

235
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>a celebrity dating app? Are there celebrit already dating apps?

236
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I've never heard that before. As the story goes, when

237
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I used to be on RAYA or Aya, is this

238
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>a thing? I'm sorry if I'm not up to date

239
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 2>on celebrity dating apps, and you're like jud everybody knows Raya.

240
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Raya is a private membership AI Google AI is telling me.

241
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Raya is a private membership based social network application for

242
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:25.080
<v Speaker 2>iOS known for its exclusivity and focusing on connecting individuals

243
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and creative industries, celebrities, and high profile figures. It has

244
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 2>a reputation for being harder to get into than the

245
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Harvard Business School. Really, hmmm, who knew about this? And

246
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>was Nicky Glazer big enough no offense to get into

247
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the same thing with Ben Affleck five ten years ago?

248
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean maybe now, but really, how did she get

249
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 2>in no offense? We're that famous until six months ago?

250
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Nikki?

251
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I digress again, Nicky had one. I used to be

252
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 2>on ray A. Affleck would come across. Why is Ben

253
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Affleck on a dating app? He can't pull jicks? Really,

254
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm totally confused here, Adam my depth. Don't want to

255
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about I'm a loser, fifty five guy hosting a

256
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.279
<v Speaker 2>podcast his basement. This has nothing to do with me. Well,

257
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I used to be on Raya and Ben Affleck would

258
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>come across. I would give him a very concentrated check

259
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 2>mark yes, and like he never got back. Nicki also

260
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.559
<v Speaker 2>told Gwyneth about Andrew Garfield saying no to her on Raya,

261
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 2>claiming I know for a fact, yet I've seen my profile.

262
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't match with him if he was interested. Gwyneth

263
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>said that would have been a good one. He's gorgeous

264
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>now he regrets it. Then the conversation went to a

265
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two interview where Glazier had first mentioned her

266
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 2>quote unquote kinky thing of having her boyfriend sleep with

267
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 2>other women. Gwyneth asked her about that and whether her

268
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.720
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend had ever fooled around with other women. Nicki said

269
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 2>that he had. Glazier then admitted it was a competition

270
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 2>thing for her. She likes thinking that he could leave

271
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and that she has to step up her game to

272
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 2>keep him. That brings us to Jimmy Fallon, where Nicki

273
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>was on earlier this week. She talked about being on

274
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 2>a zempic and said the shame is only from thin

275
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 2>people who want you to stay fat. She said she's

276
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>a fan of both ozempic and plastic surgery. As for

277
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.919
<v Speaker 2>plastic surgery, there's a stigma around getting worker investing in

278
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>your beauty and doing all these procedures, and there's maybe

279
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a little sadness to it, but I'm also kind of like, well,

280
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>it makes my life better. People treat you better when

281
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 2>you're hotter. It's a sad fact of life. And everyone goes,

282
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 2>that's so sad. What do you love the way you

283
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 2>were born? It's like, well, why do you go to college?

284
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you love the brain you were born with?

285
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Why did you pay thousands of dollars to that institution.

286
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Sports Illustrated spoke to Jerry Seinfeld about the Mets. Yes

287
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Baseball season is back. S I mentioned some comedians known

288
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to like the Mets. Those include John Oliver, Sebastian Maniscalco, Brewer, Cybarell,

289
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin James, Hank Azaria, Chris Rock, plenty of

290
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.799
<v Speaker 2>pictures of Chris Rock and Yank It's just saying, John Stewart,

291
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Ray Romano, Bill Maher who used to be a part owner,

292
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and Jerry Seinfeld also Johnny Mack, known Mets fan. S

293
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>I was curious, why so comedians are Mets fans. Jerry

294
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Seinfeld said, comedians are attracted to well drawn, outsized personalities.

295
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 2>We don't like people that officially go about their business.

296
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 2>We like people that entertain you, and hopefully you go

297
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.399
<v Speaker 2>about their business as well. I became a Mets fan

298
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.480
<v Speaker 2>when I was just so entertained by the person and

299
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.559
<v Speaker 2>the color versus the Yankees, you know, orange and blue

300
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 2>versus the depressing Navy. Jerry said, the Mets had a

301
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of personality last summer. I mean twenty twenty four.

302
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, if you're a Mets fan of twenty four,

303
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.440
<v Speaker 2>your branded for life. That was so much fun, partly

304
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 2>because of how unexpected it was, especially after the way

305
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the season began. Oh my, we are awfully long today

306
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 2>and a lot to get to, all right, So that

307
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:23.840
<v Speaker 2>was the A block. I'm going to quickly fly through

308
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the B block now and I'm going to cut some things.

309
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:29.039
<v Speaker 2>This weekend. I want to celebrate the life of Mitch Hedberg,

310
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>who passed away twenty years ago this weekend on Tomorrow's show.

311
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Siegel is an Emmy Award winning filmmaker. He's the

312
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>director of an upcoming documentary about Mitch Hedberg. So tomorrow

313
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>is just Jeff and I talking about Mitch Hedburg. Sunday

314
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Friend of the show, Jason Zenneman from The New York

315
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Times will stop by. We already recorded this on Wednesday.

316
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.639
<v Speaker 2>We talked Hedburg for a little bit, and then I

317
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 2>asked him about some other topics, including Mulaney and Bill Burr.

318
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>We did not get to discuss Taylor Thomlinson, and that

319
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 2>news dropped after we were done. Today's show has a

320
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 2>third segment if you're in the Facebook group and feel

321
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>encouraged to join us. By the way, I forget. When

322
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I was teaching my class on Thursday, I saw somebody

323
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>want to join the Facebook group, and I loved that.

324
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Whoever it was, I love you for writing this, wrote

325
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I am a pornbot that immediately got improved. I also

326
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 2>appreciate anyone who tries to get past my bouncers who

327
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 2>understands how to answer what is your quest? Anyway, if

328
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.919
<v Speaker 2>you're in the Facebook group, you've seen Dylan post things.

329
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to talk to somebody who had actually seen

330
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Hedburg live. I never saw Hedburg live, but Dylan had

331
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>so In the third section of today's podcast, half an

332
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 2>hour of Dylan and I talking about Hebburg and some

333
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>other topics of comedy. As I mentioned earlier in the week,

334
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.480
<v Speaker 2>you know some stuff I've had to pull forward because

335
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the weekend to put things where they

336
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 2>should go, and other things I'm just pushing to next week.

337
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>So let me just fly through here with the stuff

338
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 2>that can't wait. From TMZ. Comedian Mike Laser got heckled

339
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>by a Trump supporter in the middle of his act.

340
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.519
<v Speaker 2>The heckler called Mike a Q quotes jew pig, and

341
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:03.559
<v Speaker 2>this whole thing is on video. Mike was telling a

342
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>joke about sitting at a corner with his wheed pen.

343
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>He turned his attention to one of the crowd members

344
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:09.919
<v Speaker 2>and asked the guy, how can I help you. The

345
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 2>guy in the crowd said he wasn't going to listen

346
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.039
<v Speaker 2>to some jew pig Mike Lazer. The comedian clarifies the

347
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.519
<v Speaker 2>slur of the guy, admits it and keeps heckling. Mike

348
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>asked him to leave. The guy says he's ordering a lyft,

349
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 2>adding some more comments I don't want to repeat. Mike

350
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.120
<v Speaker 2>tells the guy to order his lyft outside. The guy responds,

351
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 2>f you Jew. Then as the guy was leaving, he

352
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.279
<v Speaker 2>made a comment about supporting a political figure. This all

353
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 2>happened at Lucky's Born Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a Sue

354
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Falls comedy group, apologized to Mike, saying the Heckler does

355
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.720
<v Speaker 2>not represent the comedy community in Sue Falls and was

356
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.000
<v Speaker 2>a random drunk guy who might not even be from here.

357
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:48.480
<v Speaker 2>This weekend in Rhode Island is the Lil Rody Laugh Riots.

358
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Some good names Kevin Hart, Leslie Jones as he'sin sorry,

359
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 2>John O'Hurley and Patrick Warburton you know them from Seinfeld.

360
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Hannah Berner, Christa Stefano, Jonathan Vaness, Des Bishop and Ashley Gavin. Great. Great,

361
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 2>great lineup guys. Oh wait, there's more. I missed the

362
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 2>other paragraph. Josh Johnson, Melissa Vias, Senor Tone Bell, Sophie Buttle,

363
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Alec Flynn and Andy Woodhall. Wow. What a great festival.

364
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 2>That is the Lil Rody Laugh Riot. That's your b block.

365
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Let me take one more break and then a full

366
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>half hour with Dylan from the Facebook group talking Hedburg

367
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 2>and other things comedy. We're now on to the port

368
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 2>of the weekend where we're going to celebrate the life

369
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.640
<v Speaker 2>of Mitch Hedburg. I never got to see Mitch live,

370
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.559
<v Speaker 2>but Dylan from the Facebook group has, so I invited

371
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 2>him on to talk a little bit comedy. So I

372
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>was never able to actually see Mitch Hedburg. I think

373
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I might have met him early in the serious days.

374
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't actually remember, because it was one of those

375
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.519
<v Speaker 2>things where you just assumed the guy would be around forever.

376
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.759
<v Speaker 2>But I never actually saw him live. But you did,

377
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:43.839
<v Speaker 2>which is why I invited you on here today. So

378
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>what was that like? How did you see him? Did

379
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>you know who he was? What was the night like,

380
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.640
<v Speaker 2>et cetera.

381
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 3>I was familiar with him. I've always been a complete

382
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 3>comedy geek. Just I watch everything. I would watch Comedy

383
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Central in the early days and all the short attention

384
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 3>span theater, every single thing I could get my I

385
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:02.880
<v Speaker 3>could have a chance to watch.

386
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:04.759
<v Speaker 1>So I was familiar with him.

387
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.559
<v Speaker 3>I saw him under probably just about the worst circumstances

388
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.759
<v Speaker 3>you could see a comic, because you're in the football

389
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:13.640
<v Speaker 3>stadium with eighty thousand other people.

390
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.119
<v Speaker 1>It's basically their Florida University of.

391
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Florida's homecoming weekend called Gator Grau, and they would bring

392
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 3>in two or three very big name comedians, and for

393
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:28.680
<v Speaker 3>this one it was Mitch Edburgh, John Pinnett.

394
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.960
<v Speaker 1>And D. L. Hugley Beard Mix.

395
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 3>And the following year they had Tosh and Hotel and

396
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Jim Brewer and and then the last year I was

397
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 3>in Florida, it was Harlan Williams and Bill Cosby. They

398
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 3>would have some pretty pretty crazy lineups. But I was

399
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 3>a member of the media at the time, so I

400
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 3>had VIP seats so I could see it pretty clearly.

401
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.160
<v Speaker 3>But you would get thrown off in the stadium because

402
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.359
<v Speaker 3>the sound would go to the upper deck of the stadium,

403
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 3>so you would hear them laughing like two seconds after

404
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 3>the joke was told. There was like a reverberation back,

405
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.599
<v Speaker 3>so it would it definitely made the experience a stranger

406
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.240
<v Speaker 3>than typical comedy. Said, I think that's the only time

407
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.799
<v Speaker 3>I've ever seen a comedian in a football stadium.

408
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Heedburg destroyed. He was tremendous.

409
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.720
<v Speaker 3>The joke I remembered is an escalator can never break,

410
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 3>it can only become stairs, which obviously I do it

411
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.920
<v Speaker 3>terribly in the retelling, but that was the one that

412
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.799
<v Speaker 3>had me giggling days later and repeating it. Here we

413
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.079
<v Speaker 3>are twenty five years later, and that's the one that

414
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 3>I still remember.

415
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:32.279
<v Speaker 1>So he was great.

416
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 3>He was so different from everybody else that you see

417
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 3>people compare him to Steven Wright, and then you see

418
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.880
<v Speaker 3>other people coming up who have a Hedburg vibe to him.

419
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:42.759
<v Speaker 3>But he was just such a one of a kind

420
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.680
<v Speaker 3>comic that you just generally don't see these days.

421
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm having trouble imagining him in an eighty thousand seed arena,

422
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 2>just because of so much of his act was about

423
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.799
<v Speaker 2>pacing and vibe, and I'm imagining drunks yelling out and

424
00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>it's just not working. But you're saying he crushed.

425
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>He crushed.

426
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:02.480
<v Speaker 3>As far as I was concerned, I was sitting close

427
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 3>so I could actually absorb it the people in the back,

428
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.720
<v Speaker 3>and I sat in the back when Cosby was there,

429
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:10.279
<v Speaker 3>and it's different.

430
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he came up, did his thing.

431
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:14.880
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't like And it's funny because you listen to

432
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.720
<v Speaker 3>podcasts and people will talk about I know, Dank Harvey

433
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.240
<v Speaker 3>played Gator Grawl in like two thousand and nine, and

434
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.359
<v Speaker 3>he was saying that it was the toughest atmosphere he

435
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.640
<v Speaker 3>ever played. It's just because it's so big, and like

436
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.839
<v Speaker 3>you said, people are screaming out random crap throughout the time,

437
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.680
<v Speaker 3>so it's it would be very easy to throw someone off.

438
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 3>I remember Dial Hugley was thrown off considerably when he

439
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.599
<v Speaker 3>went up there. He seemed in a rush to get

440
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.559
<v Speaker 3>off as quickly as possible. But Panett and Hedberg were

441
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.400
<v Speaker 3>quite good in that particular setting.

442
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>I remember Brewery talking about gator grawl, but at that

443
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:50.440
<v Speaker 2>time his closer was his ACDC bit, which is him

444
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.839
<v Speaker 2>singing ACDC with a band behind him. So you do

445
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 2>that in an eighty thousand seed arena, Yeah, that's really

446
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna work well as opposed to just Mitch doing one

447
00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:00.880
<v Speaker 2>liners and waiting for the laughs. Just what a tough

448
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 2>room for him.

449
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wish I'd had the chance to see him

450
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 3>in a club. I don't even know if he was

451
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 3>doing theaters at the time that he died. I saw

452
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.039
<v Speaker 3>something recently on him where Chad Daniels was talking about

453
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 3>opening for him early in his career. Daniels has a

454
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.400
<v Speaker 3>great story about one of the jokes that he used

455
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 3>was something that Daniels had said to him in a diner,

456
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 3>you know what I like mashed potatoes, and he goes,

457
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 3>you didn't even a chance to guess, or something something

458
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.319
<v Speaker 3>along those lines, a joke that obviously Hedburg and Crush

459
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:30.200
<v Speaker 3>when told the way he would do the jokes. Yeah,

460
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I feel fortunate that I saw him. There's

461
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:38.119
<v Speaker 3>so many other greats that I either never saw live

462
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker 3>or I only saw them in situations like the Seller

463
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.640
<v Speaker 3>where they're doing fifteen minutes of practice or just working

464
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 3>stuff out, because I saw Patrice and Giraldo that way,

465
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 3>but I never saw them in a real setting where

466
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 3>they're actually doing an hour or anything like that. So

467
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:56.680
<v Speaker 3>I feel fortunate that I was able to see Heberg

468
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 3>at all, but I would have done anything to have

469
00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:59.440
<v Speaker 3>been able to see him in a club.

470
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

471
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I've been thinking about him a lot lately, especially in

472
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the adjacent say it. I'm trying to avoid the word

473
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 2>shadow of Stephen Wright, and I think as I compare

474
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the two, and clearly there are similarities. Steven is presenting

475
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.640
<v Speaker 2>to the audience, whereas I feel Mitch was in it

476
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:19.799
<v Speaker 2>with the audience and we're all laughing at these jokes together,

477
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>where Steven is just going, here's a thought, you laugh, now,

478
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.799
<v Speaker 2>here's a thought you laugh. Now, Mitch is like riding

479
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 2>the surfboard and they'll do a bust a joke and

480
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:28.720
<v Speaker 2>get halfway through and be like, ah, that didn't work,

481
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's just it's funny.

482
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.480
<v Speaker 3>As weird as Heedburgh was. I think people could relate

483
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:34.920
<v Speaker 3>to him a lot more than they could relate to

484
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 3>Stephen Wright. And I love Stephen Wright.

485
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a genius.

486
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.519
<v Speaker 3>But Heedberg reminds people of somebody they know just where

487
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, the stone guy who lived in your dorm

488
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:45.960
<v Speaker 3>or something along those lines.

489
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Obviously not as funny as Hedberg was.

490
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:50.799
<v Speaker 3>But I think people could relate to him a little

491
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 3>better than some of the others who he's compared to.

492
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.960
<v Speaker 2>And I do wonder twenty years on what would Mitch

493
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Hedberg in twenty twenty five be. Is he still doing

494
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.119
<v Speaker 2>the stoner act one liners? Is he twenty years older

495
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and doing longer chunks? Like the stylized comedians tend to

496
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.000
<v Speaker 2>be shooting stars and the brick wall comedians are the

497
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.279
<v Speaker 2>ones that tend to have the longer careers. I just

498
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.359
<v Speaker 2>wonder if he might have been Oh yeah, that guy

499
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>from ten years ago.

500
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Now, when was the last time Stephen Wright did anything?

501
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.119
<v Speaker 3>It's and again I'm not saying he's not still capable,

502
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.599
<v Speaker 3>but I've honestly never if he's touring. I've missed it

503
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.400
<v Speaker 3>over the last twenty years because I would see him

504
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.000
<v Speaker 3>in a heartbeat if he came anywhere anywhere close to

505
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 3>where I live. But I'll hear him on He'll show

506
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.759
<v Speaker 3>up on certain podcasts. I think he's done Greg Fitzimmons'

507
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:37.880
<v Speaker 3>podcast a couple times, and there are a few other

508
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 3>guys who he I think he did Jay Moore's podcast

509
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 3>several years ago, but you generally don't hear much from

510
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 3>the guy at all. Like you said, it's the twenty

511
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.519
<v Speaker 3>years later, it's hard to imagine he would have been able.

512
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:50.920
<v Speaker 1>To sustain that for that period of time.

513
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.079
<v Speaker 3>But I wish we would have had the chance to

514
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 3>find out, just because you hate to see somebody be

515
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:58.880
<v Speaker 3>taken away from us who is very much in his

516
00:23:58.920 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 3>prime at the time.

517
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.519
<v Speaker 2>So on Steven, I've been hosting the weekly comedy thing

518
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 2>on Live one for ten years now. Somewhere in that

519
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 2>ten year run he did release a second album. He

520
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.079
<v Speaker 2>has two, and I did see him in person. It's

521
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>got to be twenty years ago now, maybe fifteen. And

522
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.720
<v Speaker 2>as much as I love Stephen Wright, his pacing, my

523
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:21.599
<v Speaker 2>brain was getting numb after an hour, like I needed

524
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 2>the show to end. I couldn't take it anymore. I

525
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>think Steven Wright's material works better in eight minute doses

526
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.880
<v Speaker 2>than an hour. As for Mitch, part of what we

527
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't get to see was he was very much in

528
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>ascendency and we were starting to get into rock star Mitch,

529
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>meaning that crowds were just rabbit about him. And Lynn

530
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Shawcroft had talked to me about how he had to

531
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:45.839
<v Speaker 2>speed up his act at the end and it was

532
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 2>throwing off the timing. So it'd be curious to see

533
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>what peak Mitch would have been like and how the

534
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 2>act would have morphed during that period.

535
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.039
<v Speaker 3>It's like, obviously they're not similar comics, but the guys

536
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:59.880
<v Speaker 3>who rely on the quick, one liner, quick hits kind

537
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 3>jessel Nick, And obviously I know jessel Nick is not

538
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.799
<v Speaker 3>a similar comic to Stephen Wright or Hedbird, but it's

539
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of the line, punchline, quick hit stuff that's a

540
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.039
<v Speaker 3>lot harder to sustain than the storytelling that I think

541
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Kreischer and Sigura and so many of the others are

542
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 3>doing these days. I saw Shane Gillis a couple weeks ago,

543
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:25.000
<v Speaker 3>and his was very story based. I would think, while

544
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.839
<v Speaker 3>it's not unthinkable to imagine that somebody would be able

545
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 3>to do that for an additional twenty years. I think

546
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.640
<v Speaker 3>it would be a lot harder than just saying, oh, hey,

547
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.559
<v Speaker 3>this happened to me last year, and here's the comic

548
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.200
<v Speaker 3>version of it.

549
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing the mental exercise of Mitch having to feed

550
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 2>the modern social media beast. And I could argue it

551
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.319
<v Speaker 2>either way. On the one hand, I don't think of

552
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.880
<v Speaker 2>him as a crowd work comedian. But on the other hand,

553
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.640
<v Speaker 2>if you've got the crowd behind you, he could just

554
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to just do an innocent slam of

555
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:56.640
<v Speaker 2>you here. He could be like, of course, because you're

556
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.119
<v Speaker 2>wearing a baseball cap, and if the crowd's behind you,

557
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 2>as stupid as my baseball cap line is, if the

558
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 2>crowds line you and that gets a laugh, the room

559
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 2>is hey yeah baseball cap guy. Yeah, like we got him. Good.

560
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

561
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 3>There are people like that who, like you see the

562
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:11.559
<v Speaker 3>ones who do the crowd work really well. I don't

563
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.480
<v Speaker 3>see Hegberg obviously getting to the level where he is,

564
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 3>because guys aren't doing crowd work in theaters and you

565
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:19.759
<v Speaker 3>would like to at least think that he's not doing

566
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.079
<v Speaker 3>the tiny clubs and if it can still come up

567
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 3>with the one liners that he did from twenty years ago,

568
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:26.240
<v Speaker 3>then he might have been able to sustain it. But yeah,

569
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 3>it would be really interesting to have somebody who was

570
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 3>like that to have the longevity that only the top

571
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.880
<v Speaker 3>guys really truly do, at least from a standpoint of

572
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.759
<v Speaker 3>not going from stadiums to theaters, to arenas to.

573
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 1>The chuckle hut. Yeah, it would have been interesting to

574
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>see what would have happened with that.

575
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've got you. Let's talk about some other things.

576
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:44.720
<v Speaker 2>You're one of the moderators of the Facebook group, which

577
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 2>is Daily Comedy News podcast group. Thank you for keeping

578
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.079
<v Speaker 2>the porn bots away and for starting conversations regularly. I

579
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.279
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that at this point you absolutely watch more comedy

580
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:57.680
<v Speaker 2>specials than I do. There was a point, I think

581
00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:59.880
<v Speaker 2>it was last week or the week before, where some

582
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.759
<v Speaker 2>thing relatively major came out and it was like nine am,

583
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 2>and you hadn't commented on it yet, and I was like,

584
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I hope he's okay. Usually he would have watched this, but.

585
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I was visiting my kid in college two weeks ago,

586
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 3>so I didn't see Bill Burr until like a week

587
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:16.119
<v Speaker 3>after it came out. For me, I've already Chelsea Handler

588
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:18.160
<v Speaker 3>came out at two am. This morning and I've already

589
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 3>watched it. I that's my background where it's like I'm working,

590
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:22.160
<v Speaker 3>I have it on.

591
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I love specials, even bad ones. I'll trudge through.

592
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 3>I do listen at one and a half time speed

593
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.880
<v Speaker 3>to be able to do something in forty five minutes.

594
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Rather than an hour.

595
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 3>I know you have the issue of getting through. Sometimes

596
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 3>it's like you're ten minutes in and be like, okay,

597
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:40.680
<v Speaker 3>I feel nothing. I felt the same way you did

598
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:43.319
<v Speaker 3>about the Burr special, where twenty minutes in I was like,

599
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:46.519
<v Speaker 3>this sucks, and then after watching the whole thing, I

600
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 3>was like, it wasn't horrific, but it was clearly as

601
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:51.720
<v Speaker 3>probably as worst special as he's put out. Granted that's

602
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 3>a high bar, but yet I've always been thankfully. My

603
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:58.359
<v Speaker 3>wife is a as a trooper. I drag her to

604
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:02.000
<v Speaker 3>comedy shows constantly, where sometimes it's gonna be like, all right,

605
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.359
<v Speaker 3>you're going to this one, and then there are a

606
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:06.359
<v Speaker 3>couple other words, Yeah, this one's a little probably dirtier

607
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 3>than you would care for.

608
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 1>But she's a trooper with that.

609
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:12.279
<v Speaker 3>We don't get great shows around here, but we have

610
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:15.720
<v Speaker 3>been pretty lucky up in Green Bay, getting Gatsy and

611
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.799
<v Speaker 3>Sebastian and Mark Norman is coming here in a couple months,

612
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 3>and we've seen Gillis twice in the last year. We've

613
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:24.839
<v Speaker 3>been pretty lucky as far as that goes. But yeah,

614
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:27.279
<v Speaker 3>I love the Facebook group. I love the site, and

615
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:29.920
<v Speaker 3>it feels the need that I hadn't found elsewhere. I

616
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.039
<v Speaker 3>had been looking for something where they're constant updates. I

617
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:35.960
<v Speaker 3>listened to the podcast first thing every morning, so it's

618
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.079
<v Speaker 3>the perfect way to start today. So I really appreciate

619
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:38.480
<v Speaker 3>what you do.

620
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks so much. A couple things you mentioned made

621
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 2>me think of Jason Zinneman and getting to know Jason

622
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:45.319
<v Speaker 2>from The New York Times a little bit. Has it

623
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.759
<v Speaker 2>really helped me in some ways because one a lot

624
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:50.359
<v Speaker 2>of the issues where we talked about where I'll get

625
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes in with special and bail, that's on me,

626
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.079
<v Speaker 2>that's not on the performer. As I analyze this, I

627
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.599
<v Speaker 2>can understand comedians can go up and crush for a crowd.

628
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 2>But I'm admittedly a comedy snob because I've spent so

629
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:05.880
<v Speaker 2>much time listening to so much of it, and especially

630
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 2>the years programming the radio stations, you know, listening to

631
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 2>everybody's a material and the version of their a material

632
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>that they chose to release on a comedy album. It

633
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.680
<v Speaker 2>fried my brains. So now if I get ten to

634
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.480
<v Speaker 2>eleven minutes into something and I'm not feeling it, there's

635
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 2>ten trillion things to do. When I grew up reasons

636
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I love baseball, there were five channels and the Mets

637
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.119
<v Speaker 2>were on every night, So I watch the Mets every night.

638
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Now I've got infinite media. If I get bored, there's

639
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:32.559
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred hours of Star Trek I can watch. So

640
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.640
<v Speaker 2>if your comedy special is not crushing it, I'm just

641
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:37.880
<v Speaker 2>out and do I profile specials. Of course I do.

642
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.079
<v Speaker 2>There's not enough times talking to Jason and hearing him

643
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:43.599
<v Speaker 2>having also what I call Emperor of Rome syndrome, where

644
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>you just sit there and go, oh that's very funny,

645
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.960
<v Speaker 2>great callback, Yes that is hilarious. Oh what a whitecrafted bit,

646
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.400
<v Speaker 2>but not laughing. That has been helpful to me. And

647
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:54.240
<v Speaker 2>then also for imposter syndrome. I was listening to Marin

648
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:57.400
<v Speaker 2>last night, both the Nick Fune and the it was

649
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the other one whatever, and they're all name dropping comedians

650
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 2>and their clubs and talking about when they're hanging out

651
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.240
<v Speaker 2>in Malaney twenty years ago and I'm like a fraud.

652
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:06.599
<v Speaker 2>But then Jason reminds me I'm not a comedian. I'm

653
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:08.440
<v Speaker 2>not trying to be a comedian. I'm just like a fan,

654
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:10.240
<v Speaker 2>just like you are. I just chose to pick up

655
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the microphone and start talking about it. Chris Fleming, that

656
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:15.000
<v Speaker 2>was the other one. And it's more me than the performers.

657
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:16.920
<v Speaker 2>The performers are getting up, they've sold tickets, they have

658
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.279
<v Speaker 2>to crush here. But when I'm watching a Netflix special,

659
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I could just really quickly be like, what else is

660
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:21.839
<v Speaker 2>there to do?

661
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:23.559
<v Speaker 3>It's one of those where it's yeah, and I think

662
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I threw this out there in the group. It was like,

663
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 3>what was the lastly truly great special? And I'm talking,

664
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:30.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, like because when people like, what are the

665
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 3>best ones of all time?

666
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.119
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, there are a couple of Carlins that

667
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I could list.

668
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Delirious obviously some I'm a prior's prior probably has three

669
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:43.480
<v Speaker 3>that Chappelle's killing them. Softly is when people are saying, oh,

670
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 3>that Chappelle's best special of any of the ones that

671
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 3>have come out in the last five years, and you're

672
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:48.799
<v Speaker 3>not even close just where So.

673
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:51.079
<v Speaker 1>It's like I feel very much like a snob as well.

674
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.720
<v Speaker 3>When the stuff is put up there, it's I haven't

675
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:56.319
<v Speaker 3>seen anything that's on the line of bigger and blacker

676
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.079
<v Speaker 3>or killing them softly or what am I doing in

677
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 3>New Jersey or a here and now, anything along those lines.

678
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:05.079
<v Speaker 3>The one that I remember where I was like texting

679
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:08.000
<v Speaker 3>my friends saying, you have to see this was gillis

680
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Is Live in Austin.

681
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Just because that one absolutely destroyed me. I was laughing

682
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:12.519
<v Speaker 1>so hard.

683
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:14.839
<v Speaker 3>And even then, do I put that on the level

684
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 3>of Bigger and Blacker or Chappelle's best?

685
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:19.079
<v Speaker 1>No? Absolutely not.

686
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:21.440
<v Speaker 3>As much as I loved Ronnie Chang last year, as

687
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:24.119
<v Speaker 3>much as I enjoyed I know you didn't like Schultz

688
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 3>as much as I did. Even like the Ari Shafir

689
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.039
<v Speaker 3>won from this year. I thoroughly enjoyed roy Wood.

690
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Same thing. Are they all time greats? No, they're not.

691
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 1>They're good. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

692
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I want to see something that blows me away,

693
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 3>and I haven't seen anything like that.

694
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think only four or five years.

695
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I think we're all chasing the drug that is the

696
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.519
<v Speaker 2>laugh that like really good belly laughed chuckle. And I've

697
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 2>talked about this on the show and in the group,

698
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not getting any pushback. I think people are

699
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:54.680
<v Speaker 2>nodding an agreement that right now we're getting the same

700
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 2>face as doing the same specials. So yeah, we know

701
00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:58.640
<v Speaker 2>what Bil Burr is gonna do. We know what Bert

702
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Krascher and I like Burt's special. We know what Birt's

703
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:03.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna do if Sigora drops, we know what Sigora is

704
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.039
<v Speaker 2>going to do. When you mentioned the last great special,

705
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:09.720
<v Speaker 2>what came to my mind was Natalie Palomides Nate, which

706
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 2>was just different and out there. And I tend to

707
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:14.799
<v Speaker 2>like the alty stuff a little bit, but that one

708
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:16.920
<v Speaker 2>was one where I watched it I was like, oh wow,

709
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:19.079
<v Speaker 2>that was different, and I evangelized for it.

710
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:21.319
<v Speaker 1>I haven't even seen that one. I'm gonna have to

711
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:22.279
<v Speaker 1>check that out right away.

712
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.799
<v Speaker 3>I fully respect your opinion on it, and yeah, I

713
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:27.079
<v Speaker 3>love ones that are interesting because it's all go searching

714
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.359
<v Speaker 3>for stuff where it's okay, this isn't I'm not the

715
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:32.839
<v Speaker 3>target audience here, but I still want to see Hannah

716
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Einbinder's One woman Show would have been one of my

717
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 3>favorite things that I saw last year. I would have

718
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.119
<v Speaker 3>told you were crazy, but that was one that I

719
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:42.599
<v Speaker 3>couldn't get out of my head after watching it. So

720
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 3>it's I'll go watch stuff even intentionally be like, all right,

721
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm probably gonna hate this, but I don't like criticizing

722
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:52.559
<v Speaker 3>something unless I've seen it where it's like uh oh.

723
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Earlier this year I watched that was at Chelsea. There

724
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.440
<v Speaker 3>was some redneck special. It's the one I have Lois rated.

725
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 3>I actually gave it an f was like Pontoon something.

726
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 3>It was like, okay, it was just too painful for

727
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 3>anybody to sit through. And this Stefano, who I generally like,

728
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.079
<v Speaker 3>his special was horrific. I mean that thing that was

729
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 3>an embarrassment. Did you ever watch Gringo Poppy by Brendan

730
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.240
<v Speaker 3>shab and they bring it up on Rogan or Tim

731
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Dillon brings it up a lot on his podcast. Is

732
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.079
<v Speaker 3>probably like one of the worst comedy specials actually put

733
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.079
<v Speaker 3>out on a I think it was a show.

734
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:24.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if a Showtime or.

735
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:27.359
<v Speaker 3>Amazon Prime or something like that, but it's one of

736
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 3>those ones you watch and you're just like Hugh and

737
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:33.200
<v Speaker 3>I think the Stefano's was probably worse. Yeah, that's when

738
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:35.279
<v Speaker 3>you're I can't even believe Hulu put this out, but

739
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 3>occasionally you see stuff like that.

740
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.119
<v Speaker 2>So what's your top specials of the year so far?

741
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I have schult Swan roy Wood, I think I have second,

742
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Ari Shaffir third, and then I have Kelsey Cook fourth

743
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.920
<v Speaker 3>and Bert fifth. I was thrilled that you liked the

744
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Burt one because I'm biased. I sat next to Bert

745
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 3>on an airplane like twenty years ago when he was

746
00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:59.680
<v Speaker 3>early in his career, and we talked like we were

747
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.319
<v Speaker 3>best for three hours, and so I always feel like

748
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:05.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm biased. But I'm never gonna sit here and say, oh,

749
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 3>He's the greatest comic of all time. But he brings

750
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 3>out the giggle factor with me, which is not easy

751
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 3>to do and just where you're like okay, and I

752
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 3>don't consider him like the lowest common denominator comic, but

753
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:18.639
<v Speaker 3>I will laugh at stuff and I'm like, oh mad,

754
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe I'm laughing at this.

755
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 1>He just does it for me, and I think it's

756
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.480
<v Speaker 1>very genuine with him, and I love the stories about it.

757
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:27.920
<v Speaker 3>My kids are similar ages to his kids, so I

758
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 3>can relate to a little bit of that. Even though

759
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:32.400
<v Speaker 3>he has daughters, I have sons. But I just genuinely

760
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 3>like the guy. I was thrilled that his latest special

761
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:38.159
<v Speaker 3>is getting I think people are basically saying it's probably

762
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:39.880
<v Speaker 3>his best special, which I think it probably is.

763
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've just found it fun now. It definitely spoke

764
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:46.159
<v Speaker 2>to me also, a fifty something married dad, So I

765
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 2>have that connectivity there, and I think, again the Emperor

766
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.639
<v Speaker 2>of Rome, I can break down comedy and I can

767
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:56.400
<v Speaker 2>see the matrix and what Burke did there was thing

768
00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:00.199
<v Speaker 2>that actually happened, exaggerated for effect it step two you

769
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker 2>really ramp it up and go over the top, and

770
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:04.480
<v Speaker 2>then maybe the tag is something that didn't actually happen.

771
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.400
<v Speaker 2>But the basic premise there, you know, as a married

772
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.400
<v Speaker 2>man in the fifties, got what he was talking about,

773
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.920
<v Speaker 2>even if he told an exaggerated version of it, right,

774
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.719
<v Speaker 2>it was colorful, even if some of the details weren't real.

775
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:18.360
<v Speaker 2>The basic premise spoke to me. And I think that's

776
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 2>why I connected with that special and found it very,

777
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:21.239
<v Speaker 2>very entertaining.

778
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:24.320
<v Speaker 3>I find him genuine and like you said, obviously I'm

779
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 3>not going to sit here and say, Okay, this.

780
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Is exactly how it happened. I'm not that naive.

781
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.400
<v Speaker 3>But there are other ones where you watch and you're like, Okay,

782
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:32.079
<v Speaker 3>there's no way in how that happened.

783
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.280
<v Speaker 1>And with Bert, I.

784
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Have no problem with something being exaggerated for comic effect.

785
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.480
<v Speaker 3>I have no problem with people making up stories. But

786
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.199
<v Speaker 3>I know there's that fine line the has simonaj line.

787
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:46.440
<v Speaker 3>And I like Hassan, but I thought the criticism of

788
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:48.800
<v Speaker 3>him was over the top a few years ago. But

789
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.440
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, I don't know, I get it

790
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:53.599
<v Speaker 3>on some level, But yeah, I love Bert. I took

791
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 3>my whole family to see him a couple of years

792
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:58.159
<v Speaker 3>ago and they all walked out of there. That was

793
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.800
<v Speaker 3>a fun show. Where again, nobody's gonna say he's the

794
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.559
<v Speaker 3>greatest comic of our era, but that was a fun,

795
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:05.320
<v Speaker 3>fun show.

796
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:07.679
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes that's all you can realistically hope for.

797
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:10.119
<v Speaker 2>I'll ask you one more than I'll let you go.

798
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:12.280
<v Speaker 2>If I had a golden ticket, I can get you

799
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.559
<v Speaker 2>a seventh throw center for any living comedian. Who do

800
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:16.280
<v Speaker 2>you want to go see?

801
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Mullany? No question?

802
00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:23.119
<v Speaker 3>Really, Yeah, I've seen most of them, even at granted

803
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.559
<v Speaker 3>I only saw at the Cellar. Actually I've never seen Rock,

804
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:29.159
<v Speaker 3>but I would rather see Malani right now than Rock.

805
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Trying to think of the other big ones who I

806
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:31.400
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen.

807
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:36.440
<v Speaker 3>I saw Chappelle when he was working out, killing him softly,

808
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.960
<v Speaker 3>so I've not seen him recently. I've seen Sigura, I've

809
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.079
<v Speaker 3>seen Burt multiple times. I've seen Gillis multiple times. Mulaney

810
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:48.880
<v Speaker 3>was here three years ago, like right after COVID, and

811
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't there was a reason why we couldn't go.

812
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.519
<v Speaker 3>But I've been kicking myself since then, especially since he's

813
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.760
<v Speaker 3>only blown up. This is the one that he was

814
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.000
<v Speaker 3>like straight out of rehab, and I loved his last special,

815
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.400
<v Speaker 3>especially like when he I've not seen his TV show yet.

816
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.559
<v Speaker 3>I watched almost other than sports, I watch nothing live.

817
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I'll go back and watch. I've heard it's not very good.

818
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:11.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if that was just from listening to

819
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:16.239
<v Speaker 3>your podcast. Yeah, I know other people who are huge

820
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Mulleney fans who are like, just doesn't do it for me.

821
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:20.840
<v Speaker 3>I think I would like to see him in a

822
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.119
<v Speaker 3>regular late night structure. I would love to see him

823
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:28.360
<v Speaker 3>take over for Kimmel retires or any of these guys

824
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.280
<v Speaker 3>walk away. Like to see him even if it's in

825
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:31.639
<v Speaker 3>a standard network format.

826
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I think he could play to that.

827
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:36.519
<v Speaker 3>But it honestly blows my mind that, in my opinion,

828
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:39.800
<v Speaker 3>the best current touring comic couldn't even get on air

829
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:42.679
<v Speaker 3>it on SML during his time there, because he was

830
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:44.599
<v Speaker 3>by far the best writer they had. Yeah, he's the

831
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:46.880
<v Speaker 3>one who I would do anything to see at this point,

832
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:50.400
<v Speaker 3>because not so much that there aren't others that are great.

833
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:55.159
<v Speaker 3>But I've seen Seinfeld, I've seen Burr, I've seen Jim Jefferies,

834
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:56.639
<v Speaker 3>I've seen Jim Norton.

835
00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:58.519
<v Speaker 1>All of the ones who.

836
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying are currently great have been great at

837
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.039
<v Speaker 3>some point. And Mulanie's the one who I've not seen.

838
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:08.119
<v Speaker 2>You're smart about Mulaney. In my career, thirty years in

839
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:11.719
<v Speaker 2>a media now thirty five maybe something like that. When

840
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.239
<v Speaker 2>in doubt, you put a format on something, when something's

841
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.360
<v Speaker 2>not working, you put a structure on it. You put

842
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:19.119
<v Speaker 2>a gimmick, you go, okay, we're going to do five

843
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.920
<v Speaker 2>questions with Dylan and you just that way. There's a

844
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:25.079
<v Speaker 2>structure to it. If you analyze even my Dopey show,

845
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a structure to it. I usually put the eight

846
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.079
<v Speaker 2>comedians in the front and as we get back towards

847
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the end, Now I'm talking about something happened at a

848
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Mumbai comedy club. That's not going to lead. There's a

849
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:36.000
<v Speaker 2>structure to it, and I think you're right that if

850
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Mulany were actually put in a box, it would be stronger.

851
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 2>I think they've leaned a little too much into the chaos.

852
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:46.480
<v Speaker 2>You've heard me talk with Mike Chisen about Letterman that

853
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:50.199
<v Speaker 2>as uncontrolled as it seemed, it was controlled, and David

854
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.679
<v Speaker 2>didn't like surprises. He just presented it as chaos. I

855
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.880
<v Speaker 2>think what we're seeing with Mulaney, especially in those caller segments,

856
00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:00.159
<v Speaker 2>which absolutely have to go, it's actually chaos and not

857
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:01.480
<v Speaker 2>working well.

858
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.519
<v Speaker 3>You don't want a radio show type thing. It's television.

859
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.119
<v Speaker 3>You're watching it. Even as someone who listened to Stern

860
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.440
<v Speaker 3>for twenty five years, as soon as you would go

861
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:10.719
<v Speaker 3>to the phones, I'd be like.

862
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:11.519
<v Speaker 1>All right, what else is on?

863
00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Just where I don't need to have some idiot call

864
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.719
<v Speaker 3>up and ask Artie why he's so fat or something

865
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 3>like that.

866
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:18.480
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, seeing.

867
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.199
<v Speaker 3>Him in Okay, you're gonna come out, you're gonna do

868
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.320
<v Speaker 3>a monologue, You're gonna do this. And I wonder if

869
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Mulaney would find that to be too boring. But it

870
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.760
<v Speaker 3>worked at the Daily Show, It worked at every place.

871
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:32.199
<v Speaker 3>That's done it, and he's a better comic than any

872
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:34.599
<v Speaker 3>of the ones who are doing late night right now,

873
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:37.440
<v Speaker 3>and I like quite a few of them, but there's

874
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:39.440
<v Speaker 3>nobody out there now who.

875
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I need to watch every night.

876
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:43.960
<v Speaker 3>I do make a point of listening to the podcast

877
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.320
<v Speaker 3>version of The Daily Show, especially when Stewart's doing it

878
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 3>on Monday night, because I do still think he's probably

879
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:50.159
<v Speaker 3>the best out.

880
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:51.920
<v Speaker 1>There now that Conan's not doing it anymore.

881
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:54.079
<v Speaker 3>Kimmel lost me a couple of years ago, and I

882
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.840
<v Speaker 3>was the biggest Kimmel fan for ages and it's not

883
00:39:57.880 --> 00:39:58.599
<v Speaker 3>a politics thing.

884
00:39:58.760 --> 00:39:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I could really.

885
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Cares to any of these people's support, but it's just

886
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:06.360
<v Speaker 3>not as funny anymore. And like Seth Meyers, his Corrections

887
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:09.239
<v Speaker 3>podcast is my favorite thing that he does. It just

888
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:12.079
<v Speaker 3>absolutely kills me. I listen to that every week. That's fantastic.

889
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:13.800
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I would love to see what Melanie could

890
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:15.840
<v Speaker 3>do in a Kimmel type format.

891
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:18.800
<v Speaker 2>He nailed it with Howard, even Pete Howard, there was

892
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:21.119
<v Speaker 2>a structure. Six o'clock hour was the Hey, what everybody

893
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.199
<v Speaker 2>do last night? Just yes and maybe talk about office politics.

894
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Seven o'clock get the extended family in here, make fun

895
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of the interns, make fun of the boss. Eight o'clock

896
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:31.480
<v Speaker 2>was the guest. Nine o'clock was the news. There was

897
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:33.000
<v Speaker 2>a format, same thing every day.

898
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it was yeah.

899
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was funny because I grew up in California.

900
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.599
<v Speaker 3>One of my high school friends, his brother was going

901
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:44.079
<v Speaker 3>to school in NYU, and he would mail back audio.

902
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Cassettes of Stern each week. You got to hear this

903
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:48.039
<v Speaker 1>guy and my friends.

904
00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:49.599
<v Speaker 3>That was funny, and I'm like, yeah, give me the tape.

905
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:51.559
<v Speaker 3>So he'd give me the tape. I had my dual

906
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:54.039
<v Speaker 3>cassette recorder. I would record my own copy and I

907
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:56.119
<v Speaker 3>would listen to it over and over again until the

908
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:58.119
<v Speaker 3>next tape came. I was hooked on that until the

909
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:01.039
<v Speaker 3>show started to suck. I listened to Anthony a lot.

910
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:03.000
<v Speaker 3>I never really got into some of the other stuff.

911
00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:06.199
<v Speaker 3>But yet, like Opie and Anthony, I thought showcased comics

912
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.360
<v Speaker 3>better than Stern ever did. Sure, and there really weren't

913
00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:13.039
<v Speaker 3>that many comics that or I should say big comics

914
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.400
<v Speaker 3>that were showcased or became big because they.

915
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Were on Stern.

916
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 3>I know Dapala was on a lot and Kennison was

917
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:21.840
<v Speaker 3>on a lot early on, but I don't think it's

918
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:24.519
<v Speaker 3>accurate to say that they became famous from being on Stern.

919
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:27.800
<v Speaker 1>While there's a long list of comics that you could say,

920
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:31.480
<v Speaker 1>but they went next level because of going on Opie

921
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and Anthony the same way a lot of these comics

922
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:35.280
<v Speaker 1>have gone to the next level by going on Rogan

923
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.679
<v Speaker 1>these days where where I mean.

924
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Like Ari was the one who I always thought he'll

925
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:42.639
<v Speaker 3>never graduate to theaters because he's too controversial.

926
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Even he's gotten to that level. You see where Gillis was.

927
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Two years ago and where he is now, and I

928
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:50.760
<v Speaker 3>think a lot of that is due to one, he's fantastic.

929
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Two going on Rogan almost once a month definitely helps him.

930
00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Doing the protect our Parks has shot him to the

931
00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:57.840
<v Speaker 1>next level.

932
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Mark Norman, who is pretty dirty for to go to

933
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:03.679
<v Speaker 3>the theater level, I'm seeing him in the theater in

934
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:05.840
<v Speaker 3>two months. I think he's a genius too. It just

935
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.079
<v Speaker 3>absolutely destroys me. I think he's another one who I

936
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:09.960
<v Speaker 3>think is one of the best working. Simmarill is another

937
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.559
<v Speaker 3>one who I have not seen who I would really

938
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:13.519
<v Speaker 3>love to see but haven't.

939
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Had a chance yet.

940
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:16.400
<v Speaker 3>If he comes to Wisconsin, he only goes to Milwaukee.

941
00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:17.800
<v Speaker 3>If he came up here, I would go see him

942
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:18.360
<v Speaker 3>in a heartbeat.

943
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I think all the guys you mentioned we're just seeing

944
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:24.440
<v Speaker 2>the pushback, not even about Cancel culture PC culture. I

945
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:27.719
<v Speaker 2>just think everybody has taken a step back towards.

946
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what.

947
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:29.960
<v Speaker 2>We're all friends, and we make fun of each other.

948
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:31.559
<v Speaker 2>And if you and I hung out every day, I've

949
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:34.000
<v Speaker 2>got quirks, You've got your quirks with bunch each other's

950
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:36.079
<v Speaker 2>chops about it. That's what's friends do. And I think

951
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:38.760
<v Speaker 2>that's coming across in a lot of the comedians you

952
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:40.719
<v Speaker 2>just mentioned that it's dude, we're just out having a

953
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:43.719
<v Speaker 2>good time. Don't analyze every sentence that said. And sometimes

954
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:45.239
<v Speaker 2>a joke is just a joke.

955
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's really unfortunate that.

956
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:49.800
<v Speaker 3>It's one thing when somebody comes out and says something

957
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:51.920
<v Speaker 3>really stupid and then they apologize for it a day

958
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:54.159
<v Speaker 3>later or something like that. It's another thing when you're

959
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:57.280
<v Speaker 3>pulling stuff from twenty thirty years ago and saying, oh

960
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.960
<v Speaker 3>my god, Jimmy Kimmel did blackface, but Jimmy Fallon did. Okay,

961
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:03.119
<v Speaker 3>if you want to say, hey, I regret doing this

962
00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:06.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty years ago, fine, I get it. But even some

963
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:09.639
<v Speaker 3>of the comics who consider themselves woke these days. And

964
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:11.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying I don't mean this as like a knock,

965
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:14.760
<v Speaker 3>but Sarah Silverman or pat Oswalter, some of these people,

966
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:16.480
<v Speaker 3>they're like, yeah, if you listen to my stuff from

967
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:19.639
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty five years ago, I use all the words

968
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:21.239
<v Speaker 3>that we're not allowed to say anymore.

969
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:23.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like everything changes.

970
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:25.599
<v Speaker 3>But I think we're seeing less and less of that

971
00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 3>considering the show I just saw where it was because

972
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I saw Gillis when I was in Colorado and Big

973
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Jay was there.

974
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Although Big Jay, who I generally loved, was horrible. He

975
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:38.320
<v Speaker 1>was just clearly up there basically like sleepwalking through it.

976
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:40.920
<v Speaker 3>But Dan Soder was tremendous and the other guy, and

977
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:43.400
<v Speaker 3>they were talking about cancel culture where they're saying, this

978
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:45.800
<v Speaker 3>word's coming back, this word we probably won't hear again.

979
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You can imagine which one that one was.

980
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:50.679
<v Speaker 3>But you're basically saying this word's coming back, this word's

981
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.760
<v Speaker 3>coming back, and it's yeah, it's like just because of

982
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:55.599
<v Speaker 3>the way it's And again I'm not saying it's okay

983
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:57.639
<v Speaker 3>to use. I try to avoid using the same words

984
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:01.639
<v Speaker 3>in my when my daily life obviously, but I don't

985
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:03.840
<v Speaker 3>cancel culture on any level because it's Look, if.

986
00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't think something's funny, don't watch it. The same

987
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:08.199
<v Speaker 1>thing that is the same criticism with Stern.

988
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:10.599
<v Speaker 3>Hey, if you don't, if you're offended by what he says,

989
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:13.719
<v Speaker 3>change the channel. I changed the channel on Stern because

990
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:14.679
<v Speaker 3>I thought I didn't like.

991
00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:15.599
<v Speaker 1>The direction he was going.

992
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:17.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to sit here and say should be

993
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:19.480
<v Speaker 3>taken off the air, because if he still has an audience,

994
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:22.159
<v Speaker 3>then he should be allowed to address that audience.

995
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've written on my substack about it. I'm not

996
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:27.039
<v Speaker 2>going to sit here and say that I didn't laugh

997
00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:28.880
<v Speaker 2>at a lot of things Stern did in the nineties

998
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:32.159
<v Speaker 2>that Stern himself has distanced himself from guilty is charged.

999
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Laughed at the most a different time.

1000
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:35.719
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing that I hate that he has two

1001
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:37.880
<v Speaker 3>channels that are fully dedicated to his stuff, and all

1002
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.159
<v Speaker 3>of his best stuff is gone. He doesn't even play

1003
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:43.280
<v Speaker 3>the nine to eleven show anymore, which blows my mind

1004
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:47.239
<v Speaker 3>because that was something that I felt so connected to

1005
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.199
<v Speaker 3>because like on the day that happened, I sat in

1006
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:52.639
<v Speaker 3>my car and listened to it because everybody else went

1007
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:55.079
<v Speaker 3>the news and Stern stayed on the air, and I

1008
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:57.800
<v Speaker 3>just sat there and listened to it NonStop, and then

1009
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.159
<v Speaker 3>I listened to it again that night when they replayed it,

1010
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:01.880
<v Speaker 3>and it was so brilliant.

1011
00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:04.719
<v Speaker 1>And he's even distancing himself from that.

1012
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.960
<v Speaker 3>So I find that to be sad, because as somebody

1013
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:10.920
<v Speaker 3>who loved him for so long, and again, I don't

1014
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:13.480
<v Speaker 3>expect the sixty five year old to do bout bongo fiesta.

1015
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Like I understand people evolving, When people who had been

1016
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:20.760
<v Speaker 3>guests on his show for twenty years, he just randomly

1017
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:22.880
<v Speaker 3>just basically shuts the door on them, We're not having

1018
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.159
<v Speaker 3>them anymore. I thought it was very sad that Gilbert

1019
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:28.000
<v Speaker 3>wasn't on during his final days. The whole thing with

1020
00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:31.559
<v Speaker 3>Arty was basically what closed my door on Stern, just

1021
00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:34.599
<v Speaker 3>like I absolutely loved Artie and thought he brought the

1022
00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.599
<v Speaker 3>show to another level, but so many of these comics

1023
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:39.760
<v Speaker 3>and people who he had on.

1024
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:42.960
<v Speaker 1>That he just basically ditched. That never sat well with me.

1025
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Poor I already worked with him a few times. Great

1026
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:48.920
<v Speaker 2>guy in real life. But I remember we were at

1027
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:52.360
<v Speaker 2>one of the comedy festivals and I'm going back a bit,

1028
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:55.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe it was the Vegas one, and I said to Mark,

1029
00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:58.679
<v Speaker 2>my serious host while watching Already Live, Igo, if we

1030
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:00.800
<v Speaker 2>wake up tomorrow and he's dead, not going to be shocked.

1031
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:03.960
<v Speaker 2>He was just out of control. He's got demon's good guy,

1032
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:06.440
<v Speaker 2>good soul, but boy, the demon's got him.

1033
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:09.360
<v Speaker 3>I saw him on one of the Stern showcases, and

1034
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.280
<v Speaker 3>it was a painful show because you're sitting there watching

1035
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:16.119
<v Speaker 3>Richard and sal doing something that masquerades a comedy.

1036
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:18.559
<v Speaker 1>And I think Yuko the Clown.

1037
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Might have been there where I'm sitting there going oh God,

1038
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:22.639
<v Speaker 3>like if Artie wasn't coming up, I think it literally

1039
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:26.440
<v Speaker 3>went like stuttering John d' pallo and then Arty, so

1040
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:27.639
<v Speaker 3>it was like, Okay, I just got to get through

1041
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.760
<v Speaker 3>stuttering John. I generally like stuttering John, but as long

1042
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:32.840
<v Speaker 3>as I can get through stuttering John, I'll be fine.

1043
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Through to Pollo and Arti and Da Paolo is a genius.

1044
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:40.039
<v Speaker 3>And then Arti came out, and there are comparisons to Chreischer,

1045
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.000
<v Speaker 3>although Kreischer obviously isn't as completely messed up as Arty is,

1046
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:46.000
<v Speaker 3>but the same thing where he came out and did

1047
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:48.719
<v Speaker 3>all his shtick, but the crowd just loved him. And

1048
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:51.280
<v Speaker 3>but like you said, if I'd woken up the next day,

1049
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:52.880
<v Speaker 3>and they said he already didn't wake up. I would

1050
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.440
<v Speaker 3>have been like no, shock there. It's not like Hedberg

1051
00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:58.679
<v Speaker 3>where you're like no, although I did not know that,

1052
00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:01.159
<v Speaker 3>and I'll be curious to hear you. I'll be curious

1053
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:02.719
<v Speaker 3>to know if it was close to them, knew how

1054
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:06.119
<v Speaker 3>bad his drug habit was. I get the sense that

1055
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:09.119
<v Speaker 3>they did the same thing with Giraldo, And obviously nobody

1056
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:11.800
<v Speaker 3>was stunned when Patrice died, but I still didn't make

1057
00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:14.440
<v Speaker 3>it any less sad, just because you always hate seeing

1058
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:17.400
<v Speaker 3>these comic geniuses taken from us too soon.

1059
00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it happens to so many. All Right, ten

1060
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.400
<v Speaker 2>minutes ago, I asked you one last question, So I'm

1061
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.400
<v Speaker 2>going to let you go. You won't have to listen

1062
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.280
<v Speaker 2>to this episode because you already know what we said.

1063
00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:28.840
<v Speaker 2>But I appreciate you. Thank you for taking care of

1064
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the Facebook group as one of the moderators. Appreciate you

1065
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:33.840
<v Speaker 2>coming on. I think we'll have you back. Just I

1066
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:36.360
<v Speaker 2>like talking to comedy and talking about comedy with people,

1067
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:37.760
<v Speaker 2>and it's fun to just drop one of these in.

1068
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I appreciate everything you do. I'd been looking for

1069
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:43.159
<v Speaker 3>something like it for a long time. When I stumbled

1070
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:46.360
<v Speaker 3>on it, I was like, this is exactly what I want.

1071
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:48.320
<v Speaker 3>You do an amazing job. And I listened to a

1072
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:50.079
<v Speaker 3>ton of podcasts, so it's like, when I start my

1073
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:51.360
<v Speaker 3>day with yours, that's.

1074
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:52.079
<v Speaker 1>A pretty big compliment.

1075
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

1076
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Also, tonally try to do it as a morning show.

1077
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a yellers screamer, so I think it's easy

1078
00:47:57.840 --> 00:47:59.400
<v Speaker 2>on the years at seven thirty in the morning. It

1079
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:01.159
<v Speaker 2>is one of the pro designs of it.

1080
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:03.199
<v Speaker 3>It drops at the perfect time and it's the perfect

1081
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:05.159
<v Speaker 3>length for like first thing in the morning. Be like, Okay,

1082
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:07.199
<v Speaker 3>I got and I listened to double speed, so I

1083
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.400
<v Speaker 3>got seven and a half minutes for a perfect way.

1084
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:09.920
<v Speaker 1>To start the day.

1085
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.159
<v Speaker 2>But I really do go to the National Donuts chain

1086
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:15.400
<v Speaker 2>every morning. It just it tends to magically work out

1087
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that my drive to coffee hits. Usually I hit the

1088
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:21.800
<v Speaker 2>parking lot right as the show gets to the commercial break,

1089
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:23.519
<v Speaker 2>and then I listen to the rest on the way home.

1090
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:26.119
<v Speaker 2>But I do listen, not that I'm a narcissist. I

1091
00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:28.360
<v Speaker 2>listened to see if I made a production error, because

1092
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.639
<v Speaker 2>every now and then I make a production error and

1093
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:32.639
<v Speaker 2>then I try and catch it before everybody else does.

1094
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:34.920
<v Speaker 3>No, I get it, and yeah, one of many shows

1095
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.159
<v Speaker 3>that I listen to, but it's definitely in my daily routine.

1096
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:42.960
<v Speaker 2>That's a long episode of Daily Comedy News Tomorrow. Jeff Siegel, documentarian,

1097
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.679
<v Speaker 2>We talk about his Mitch Hedberg documentary and celebrate the

1098
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:48.639

1099
