00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media remembers Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's ease into it. Today, Ray Romano has a new gig.

3
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>He will join Netflix's Running Point for season two. Now,

4
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you're like, Johnny Mack, What the heck is Running Point?

5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember anything called Running Point? How does it

6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>have a season two? Oh? Yeah, you'll remember this. This

7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 1>is that Mindy Kahling basketball show about a team in LA.

8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Remember that one that was the thing that happened. Yeah.

9
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Ray Ramano will play coach Norm Stinson in season two. Now.

10
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Robert Townsend was originally announced for the part in September,

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but the creative team decided to go in a different direction.

12
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>They've recast the role with Ray Romano. They're doing some reshoots.

13
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Norm Stinson is described as a basketball savant turned social

14
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>recluse who will team up with the team owner Kan

15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Hudson to rediscover his love for the game and life. Now,

16
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>if you're not familiar with Running Point, the Mindy Kaling

17
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 1>basketball comedy. When his scandal forces her brother to resign,

18
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Kate Hudson's character is appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves,

19
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the most storied professional basketball franchises and her

20
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>family business. I feel like Ray Ramano is slumming here.

21
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>He can't need the work, right, He's gotta have crazy

22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>money from everybody loves Raymond. If he needed a payday,

23
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>he could just call up Brad Garrett and be like, hey, Brad,

24
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 1>we need a payday. You in And Brad Garrett is

25
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be at Ray Ramono's house before that sentence

26
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 1>even ends. So it can't be that is this creatively fulfilling? Like,

27
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why Ray Ramono is doing this at all. Previously,

28
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Ray Ramono starred in Netflix's No Good Deed, Remember that

29
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>One Me Neither. He was also on Made for Love,

30
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>appeared in Bookie and in Bupkuz, the Pete Davison show

31
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 1>that went sideways. Maybe Pete should have not walked away

32
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 1>from that show. He wouldn't have had to play the

33
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Rion Comedy Festival make some money to pay for his ferry.

34
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Who knows. I'm just a guy in the basement recording podcast.

35
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anything anyway. I'm not sure why Ray

36
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 1>said yes to that one. Vulcher talk to Stavros Halkias,

37
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 1>who's being pushed in our direction? This week again. Nothing

38
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 1>against stop Ros. I'm just noticing the pushing. Vulture asked

39
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 1>Stavros about the concept of the Joe Rogan of the Left.

40
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll remind everyone the Joe Rogan of the Left used

41
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 1>to be Joe Rogan. He'd have on people like Bernie Sanders,

42
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 1>who I think was actually on again recently. I'm really

43
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>backed up on my Rogan listening because, hey, Spotify, are

44
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you listening. I'm sure you are. They have the commercials

45
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>on Rogan set to automatic, so in the middle of

46
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>a sentence suddenly we go abruptly to a Rogan voiced

47
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>read and it's really annoying. So I don't listen to

48
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Rogan anymore unless I'm in the car where I can

49
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>actively hit thirty second skip. If I can't hit thirty

50
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 1>second skip easily by flicking my left thumb, I don't

51
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>listen to Rogan right now. Spotify take my note. I

52
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>know the Joe Rogan podcast is really struggling without me

53
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>listening anyway. Stavros, Joe Rogan the Left, what do you think?

54
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Stavros said. What it means to me, man, is we're

55
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>eft if they're coming to me, if they're even sniffing

56
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>around over here means we need some more cultural figure

57
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>years on the left, or what it really means is

58
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>journalism is broken down in a way in this country

59
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>that's pathetic. Everything's for profit. There's now more and more

60
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>powerful people buying our newspapers, like Jeff Bezos buying the

61
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post. But I also think part of it is

62
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>because comedians have boosted some right wing voices. It's unimaginative

63
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>thinking to be like, well, we need our own comedians

64
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to do that. Look, do I feel a little pressure

65
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>to be a little more clear about where I stand

66
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.599
<v Speaker 1>on things I do, But philosophically I just can't lead

67
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.479
<v Speaker 1>with that. I can't say. And he has a quote

68
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>here that is quite vulgar. Let me see if I

69
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>can clean it up to get the gist here. So

70
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 1>basically what he's saying is stop doing whatever the ruling

71
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 1>class says and admit it's not immigrants and trans people

72
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>that are the reason your life's bad. It's because there's

73
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 1>tax cuts going to the point zero zero one percent.

74
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 1>It's because of inequality. Starvars said, I did go to

75
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 1>school for public policy, but when I was twenty, I

76
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>decided I was going to stop learning about that, and

77
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>I was going to learn to talk about my little

78
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>penis for a living. I do think at some point

79
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>in my life I'll sort of return to that. I

80
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>assume he means public policy, maybe not. I want to

81
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>do it on a community level. First. I grew up

82
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 1>in Baltimore. We didn't have I do want to help

83
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>kids in Baltimore. I was in some art programs that

84
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 1>really helped me growing up. So I've been thinking about that. Yes,

85
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he wants to go back to public policy

86
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>and not showing up and be like, hey, check out

87
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 1>my stuff here. That would be very That would not

88
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>be appropriate. Stara said, I look at the arc of

89
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>my life. I had some beliefs. I got educated. I

90
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 1>realized what I want to do had nothing to do

91
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>with my education. But it's still kind of clarified when

92
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 1>I think about the world, when I want to happen,

93
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>and how I want people to be treated on a

94
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 1>base level. And now that I'm in the period of

95
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>my life where I have a career and my goals

96
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>are artistic, I've decided I don't care about the world

97
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>as much as I care about having a good time.

98
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Bultra stayed on the politics thing, and Starvra said, I

99
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>think it'd be really good for my career if I

100
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>brushed up on a little policy, if I got a

101
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 1>couple of statistics together and went on some new show

102
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and debated people, I would be nervous on CNN, right.

103
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm more entertaining and funnier than those people, and they're

104
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>not that smart. If I studied for a month, I

105
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 1>could do this thing and to be really good for

106
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>my career. But I despise that careerist climbing bs from

107
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 1>DBK News, your home for comedy news. They went to

108
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>see Marcello Hernanez. You know Marcelo. He's the guy on

109
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night Live that does that one thing really great,

110
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>and he does one thing K News tells us. Laughter

111
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>filled the Exfinity Center as comedian Marcelo Hernandez took to

112
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the stage to kick off the University of Maryland's homecoming week.

113
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Marcelo covered a variety of personal topics, from childhood shenanigans

114
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>to the many differences between white and Latino people. Even

115
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>touched on pressing issues like gender, mental health, and friendship.

116
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Some of the students recognized Marcelo Hernandez from NBC's Saturday

117
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Night Live. See I actually pronounce at that time. I'm

118
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>aware that I often say Sanite live. I don't even

119
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you'll get a Saturday Night Live out of me.

120
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes I just go sanite live, and I'm aware

121
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 1>of it. Queen's accent there. A freshman chemistry major said,

122
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I just knew he was from SNL and I watched

123
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 1>the clips online, so I was like, that sounds pretty fun.

124
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>A freshman English major said, I was really excited because

125
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>my household we watch SNL, so we love Marcelo. Many

126
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>recognized Marcelo Hernandez from one sketch in particular. Guess which

127
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>one it is. That's right Domingo, because even if it

128
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a Domingo sketch, you probably were like, he's just

129
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>doing Domingo because he does one thing well, and he

130
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 1>does one thing. The freshman chemistry major said, I always

131
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 1>see the Domingo clips and it's probably my favorite sketch

132
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>right now. Billy Gardell after a decade or so doing

133
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>sitcoms and probably made some good cash. There's probably still

134
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>money in CBS sitcoms when he did it. He's going

135
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>back to doing stand up comedy. He's going to tour

136
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 1>theaters to his first tour of any kind in nearly

137
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>a decade. It'll kick off in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, January thirtieth.

138
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Billy Gardell will discuss his recent weight loss of one

139
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy three pounds because I have to acknowledge

140
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 1>the non elephant in the room well played there, as

141
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 1>well as his relationship with his father, who he calls

142
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>his hero. He talks about being an empty nester and

143
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>being in a sweet spot in his marriage twenty five

144
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>years in, using a latter subject as a way to

145
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about the delusion of what people think love is

146
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>today and what they're telling our kids love is today,

147
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and how our relationship should be. You'll also talk about

148
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 1>younger generations. Billy said, I think it's low hanging fruit

149
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 1>to rip on that generation and punch down on them,

150
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>meeting people in their twenties and thirties, when that's the

151
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>generation that needs a little wisdom from the older generation

152
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>more than anybody else has before these kids go through

153
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 1>the same things we all go through. Who am I

154
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 1>gonna be? Where am I gonna live? Is anyone gonna

155
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 1>love me? And then you had social media on top

156
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 1>of that and the stay of the world, I think

157
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>they need an adult they can talk to. As for

158
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the weight loss, he was on ozempic, underwent bariatric surgery

159
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 1>and transformed his lifestyle. Billy says, I'm not on any medication.

160
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm healthier than I've ever been. Could do some things

161
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>with my wife and kids I wouldn't been able to

162
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 1>do before I caught the unicorn that every heavy person

163
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 1>dreams of. I flew in a middle seat. Really, what

164
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Billy Guardill was in a middle seat? I hope you

165
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>were with your wife and son and you chose the

166
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>middle seat, because if you don't have sitcom money after

167
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 1>two CBS sitcoms, your account's up to something. Something's going

168
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>wrong there. The other big one was buying something right

169
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>off the rack that had never happened to me in

170
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>my entire life. So it's those little victories that you

171
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>think about that kind of keep the wind in your sails.

172
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>The Toronto Guardian will sometimes profile comedians, and I like

173
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>to find out about new people they caught up with.

174
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Everado Ramirez, best known for Late Mic Too, a chaotic

175
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>weekly late night talk show slash open mic hybrid that

176
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 1>blends sharp, riffing, experimental, risk taking and absurd invention, drawing

177
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>inspiration from icons like David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and others. Hey,

178
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Mike Chisholm from the Letterman podcast, who's been doing stand

179
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>up lately? Why are you not ripping off this idea

180
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>for Vancouver? Bro? Come on Mike talk show Slash Open

181
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Mike Hybrid inspired by Letterman, Canada, Vancouver, this thing I

182
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 1>digress Everado. How would you describe your comedy style? He said,

183
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>laid back with quick in the moment, riffing. I like

184
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that kind of style, just saying I try to maintain

185
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a cool presence while everything around me is CHAOTICX. Someone's

186
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.279
<v Speaker 1>told me my show is the most interesting thing that

187
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.399
<v Speaker 1>happens at comedy bar. Not necessarily the funniest, but certainly

188
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 1>the most interesting. It's a little backheaded there for a

189
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.519
<v Speaker 1>comedian like, Hey, you're pretty interesting, all right? Who are

190
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>some of your influences? Late Night with both David Letterman

191
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.639
<v Speaker 1>and Conan O'Brien. I love how Letterman would interview weirdos

192
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>like RVPCRR or Crispin Glover. Oh yeah, those are early Letterman.

193
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Guess word have some yeah, hit I have some quirky

194
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>people on Dave wasn't afraid to sit in the weirdness,

195
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>leaving audience is wondering if it was a stage bit

196
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>or if something was wrong. Conan's absurd bits and segments

197
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 1>were a perfect amount of stupid and his self deprecation

198
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and tightly wand control freak persona must have imprinted on

199
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>me early because now I host a late night talk

200
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 1>shows that I'm quite particular about it. Wear a suit,

201
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I bring a big inflatable couch, I use a kitchen

202
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 1>time instead of lighting comedians, not writing my own monologue jokes,

203
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 1>but instead leaving a stack of cute cards at the

204
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>bar for strangers and other comedians to write jokes, and

205
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I read it for the first time on stage at

206
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 1>the top of the show. I don't book my real

207
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>comedian friends because I think it's more interesting to talk

208
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 1>to the freaks and the scoundrels in the open mic world.

209
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>All that's more work for me and have an element

210
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>of risk to it, But I think that's what makes

211
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 1>the show more interesting. Favorite comedian growing up, Norm McDonald,

212
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Louis Anderson, Conan O'Brien, favorite comedian now, he said, Nick Nemerov,

213
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>who's fantastic, but Nick did pass away a few years ago.

214
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm familiar with Nick from playing him on the Weekly

215
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Thing, which is the program I host on the

216
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Live One service. The service is free, the show is free.

217
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>So how it works. It's like this, except I talk

218
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 1>way less, but I can also play comedian bits like

219
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Nick Nemerov, who Everado Ramirez is into. Everado suggests everybody

220
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 1>check out Nick's album The Pursuit of comedy has ruined

221
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>my life. I'm loving this interview. All right, what's your

222
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>pre show ritual? He says. On the way to the venue,

223
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I listened to the unreleased eighteen admitted version of Short

224
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and Bread by the Beach Boys. Now I'm a big

225
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Beach Boys fan. Like for Reels, Everado says, he goes

226
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 1>into a kind of transcendental meditative state where my brain

227
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 1>shuts off for a few minutes. My wife does not

228
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>like this song and is worried that listening to it

229
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.200
<v Speaker 1>is making me go insane. But to that, I say,

230
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 1>mommy's little baby loves shirt and Bread. Oh my god,

231
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I dig this guy. And did you watch Jeopardy During

232
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the week? On Monday, there was a person on. Mister

233
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Levine's first name is Aaron. But when you know, you

234
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 1>write your name in the box so we can see

235
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 1>what your name is. He stylized his name aa run,

236
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a callback to the famous hilarious key and peel sketch

237
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 1>substitute Tu. You're probably familiar with it. It's one of

238
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 1>their iconic sketches. Analysis of the sketch says the scene

239
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>is cherished for its hilarious take on a phenomenon that

240
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>ethnic students normally experience in a classroom setting in which

241
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>teachers tend to pronounce more culturally specific names to sound eurocentric.

242
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Aarn won the episode on Monday Night, twenty thousand, six

243
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars. Congratulations Airn, and that is your comedy news

244
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday. You have a great day.
