Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news at daily briefing on stand up comedy,
Speaker 1: comedians and the comedy industry. A sentence I forgot to
Speaker 1: say when I recorded the Oscar Show Sunday Night. Today
Speaker 1: is a sequel to Monday's Oscars recap, same kind of note.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna slow down a little bit and just take
Speaker 1: my time with the stories. Part of it is I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit tired. It took me a long time
Speaker 1: to put together this show and also Palace Intrigue, the
Speaker 1: Royal Family show that I work on, and plus Sunday Night.
Speaker 1: I never really dialed down because I was keeping notes
Speaker 1: on the Oscars. Then recorded the show and with all
Speaker 1: the clips in there, it took me over an hour
Speaker 1: on the edit and I was laughing at one point
Speaker 1: the file was finally ready to be uploaded after post
Speaker 1: processing and all the stuff I do that I won't
Speaker 1: bore you with. There was sixteen seconds left and I
Speaker 1: think it was a three point Nicks game, and they
Speaker 1: were announcing Best Film at the Academy Awards. I'm like,
Speaker 1: why does all this have to happen at once? So
Speaker 1: I uploaded the file watch best Picture, and then got
Speaker 1: to enjoy the last six point two seconds of the
Speaker 1: next game and the next one Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of news. I've already got a
Speaker 1: full show for tomorrow. Some stuff we're not going to
Speaker 1: get to today. The New York Times wrote an article
Speaker 1: about comedians and the Epstein Files. Do I have your
Speaker 1: attention yet? Yeah, let's see. The Daily Show seems to
Speaker 1: be a beef with Saturday Night Live. That's fun. I
Speaker 1: don't have time today to get into Sebastian Maniscalco and
Speaker 1: Marcelo Hernandez. I don't have time to get into the
Speaker 1: SNL Sucker Carlson impression. We'll do that tomorrow. I don't
Speaker 1: have time to tell you that Tina Fey is going
Speaker 1: to host SNL UK this weekend. I don't have time
Speaker 1: to tell you Bert Krascher got a season two of
Speaker 1: Free Birt because we got to talk about the Oscars
Speaker 1: and Conan O'Brien. I thought Conan was fantastic, and the
Speaker 1: Internet seems to disagree at points. We'll get into that
Speaker 1: as well real quick. If you can't get enough Conan,
Speaker 1: Bill Carter interviewed Conan on Late Night Er and I
Speaker 1: love that podcast because you got serious Conan. So it
Speaker 1: was a real discussion, which was great. And then I
Speaker 1: was in a Conan mood and I tried to check
Speaker 1: out Conan on The Kelsey Brothers. Look, I know that
Speaker 1: show does well, but as I tell my college students,
Speaker 1: if you want to have a successful podcast, date Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey has media skills. Travis Kelsey is awful at
Speaker 1: this and write this down. When he does retire from football,
Speaker 1: he will get a TV job and he's going to
Speaker 1: be terrible at it. I couldn't even listen to the
Speaker 1: Conan interview. He's one of those people that can't get
Speaker 1: through an fing sentence without you know F and Curson
Speaker 1: you know F and it's just, dude, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Learn how to broadcast? And again, millionaire dating a billionaire.
Speaker 1: I'm a dude in a basement. I'm a loser. He's
Speaker 1: got Super Bowl rings, I get it, but he's not
Speaker 1: good at broadcasting. On to the Oscars, Variety had a
Speaker 1: really nice piece they caught up with the producers. One
Speaker 1: of the questions is is Conan coming back now? They
Speaker 1: didn't say that specifically, but Walt Disney Television's Rob Mills,
Speaker 1: who's the executive vice president, told Variety on Monday morning,
Speaker 1: Conan is host for life. Yes, he hasn't even accepted yet.
Speaker 1: He's just being told. We're assuming that was not a
Speaker 1: comedy bit. We're going to treat it as if that
Speaker 1: was fact. Conan had joked during the telecast he would
Speaker 1: continue to host the show until went to YouTube, and
Speaker 1: mister Beast takes over was one of the versions of
Speaker 1: that joke. Mills said, sometimes these jobs are like fantasy camp,
Speaker 1: and it'd be working with Conan is always incredible. I
Speaker 1: remember those, and he's referring to the big produced open here.
Speaker 1: I remember those when he had special occasions or when
Speaker 1: he hosted things like the Emmy's. He'd make these films
Speaker 1: and they were great. When it was the tenth anniversary
Speaker 1: of Late Night, he did one of those where he
Speaker 1: ran into the streets of New York and literally everyone's
Speaker 1: following him. Was sort of similar to this bit. He's
Speaker 1: always done these films that are great and not also
Speaker 1: sort of reminded me of what Billy Crystal used to do,
Speaker 1: so it was great. It felt distinctly Conan but also
Speaker 1: distinctly Oscar. I think that's fair. Next question, did Leonardo
Speaker 1: DiCaprio know that he was going to be asked to
Speaker 1: be a meme? The answer not at all, So forgive
Speaker 1: him for being a little confused on a first on
Speaker 1: how to react, but then he still figured out how
Speaker 1: to react. How did it work with Matt Barry as
Speaker 1: announcer live from London? Why wasn't he in Los Angeles?
Speaker 1: Good question? We are told, yes, Matt Barry was in London,
Speaker 1: and the technology is now point where there wasn't a delay. Well,
Speaker 1: that's impossible. There's still the speed of light. I don't
Speaker 1: care what tech you have, there's still the speed of light.
Speaker 1: I just asked chat GPT what's the delay on broadcast
Speaker 1: from LA to London? The AI says for a live
Speaker 1: broadcast signal from Los Angeles to London, delay depends on
Speaker 1: the path satellite broadcast is about two hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: milliseconds one way, or roughly point five point six seconds
Speaker 1: round trip. Why the signal goes up to a geostationary
Speaker 1: satellite then back to Earth. If you use fiber transmission,
Speaker 1: that cuts the delay to one hundred and twenty milliseconds,
Speaker 1: but then encoding and decoding ads time. So a typical
Speaker 1: modern IP broadcast delay is point three to one point
Speaker 1: five seconds total delay. Now, if that doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: a lot, get into my field and try interviewing someone
Speaker 1: who's in London while you're in Los Angeles. So you
Speaker 1: will notice the delay because it's like talking to somebody
Speaker 1: on the moon. You ask a question, there's that slight pause,
Speaker 1: they answer, and what happens that you wind up talking
Speaker 1: to over each other. So you have to be very
Speaker 1: disciplined to not go too fast and make sure the
Speaker 1: other person has spoken. And most things like that are
Speaker 1: best done not live, so that you can trim all
Speaker 1: the things. Tell you we're gonna go slow and get
Speaker 1: into the weeds today. Did you stay before the very
Speaker 1: end after they said goodbye? There was another sketch spoilers
Speaker 1: for the movie One Battle after another. If you haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, hold your ears for a second. But the
Speaker 1: parody to the final scene from that movie, maybe I'll
Speaker 1: just leave it there. Whatever happens at the end of
Speaker 1: the movie conan parody that I won't tell you specifically
Speaker 1: what happens, so I didn't ruin the movie not spoilers.
Speaker 1: But VERI was curious, since One Battle had just won
Speaker 1: Best Picture, did Conan film sketches for all of the
Speaker 1: films in case something else won Best Picture? We are
Speaker 1: told no, there were no alt end of show sketches.
Speaker 1: The One Battle parody whatever ran even if Sinners had won. Okay,
Speaker 1: but what about the other eight films? Are you saying
Speaker 1: the others didn't have a chance? What are you saying there?
Speaker 1: And then they asked Mills again, is Conan truly the
Speaker 1: host for life? Mills said, as firm as whatever. You
Speaker 1: can look up whatever the firm thing is, it's solid
Speaker 1: as oak. I hope Conan comes back. Anybody who's been
Speaker 1: with a nearshot of me in the last twenty four
Speaker 1: to thirty six hours by the time you're hearing this.
Speaker 1: I believe in having a professional host. I though Kimel
Speaker 1: did a good job. I think Trevor Nooda does a
Speaker 1: good job. Always give me a pro who can keep
Speaker 1: the trains running. That's the gig. If you could be
Speaker 1: funny on top of that, even better, keep Conan great.
Speaker 1: If ConA gets the flu let camel, do it great.
Speaker 1: As I alluded to at the top, some people didn't
Speaker 1: like the Oscars with Conan O'Brien the Daily Mail again
Speaker 1: UK tabloid, and they tend to be a little caddy.
Speaker 1: They wrote, it was supposed to be Hollywood's biggest night,
Speaker 1: but between painful monologues from most Conan O'Brien, to boring
Speaker 1: results and one distasteful joke about the Holocaust, viewers were
Speaker 1: left thoroughly unimpressed by this year's Oscars. Now, as I
Speaker 1: read that paragraph, I'm like, what was the Holocaust joke?
Speaker 1: And the Daily Mail let's Johnny mcnow come on on,
Speaker 1: Gianni spark fury by joking about Schindler's List being renamed
Speaker 1: Schindler's Posted and a failed gag about movies being too long?
Speaker 1: Is there really outrage about that joke? Really? Oh? Ryan
Speaker 1: struggled to rouse the room with awkward jokes about pedal
Speaker 1: files and the many awards largely felt at predictable winners.
Speaker 1: Then they got into they do this a lot in
Speaker 1: the British tabloids. Some social media posts. One person wrote,
Speaker 1: the Oscar is a sort of a flop. I DK
Speaker 1: conan flop, awkward jokes from presenters, ugly ass stage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said it only saving this night is a sinner's
Speaker 1: best picture. I'm not playing well. Got bad news for you, sir,
Speaker 1: or madam. Radar Online headline was rotten humor. Conan O'Brien
Speaker 1: slammed over painful twenty twenty six Oscars opening monologue as
Speaker 1: host faces several awkward moments of silence. Yep, that's true.
Speaker 1: It's a tough room. We've talked about that before this
Speaker 1: year's Oscars, after last year's Oscars, before last year's Oscars.
Speaker 1: Every year. It's a tough room. We all know that
Speaker 1: Conan knew that. Litsten to any interview last week except
Speaker 1: the one with the Kelsey Brothers where Travis Kelsey can't
Speaker 1: go through one sentence without using an F bomb twice.
Speaker 1: Radar Rights. After opening the show with a well received
Speaker 1: dig at Timothy Shallimy and the recent backlash over his
Speaker 1: controversial comments about ballet and opera, O'Brien seemed to quickly
Speaker 1: lose the crowd with an ill received gag linking nominated
Speaker 1: movies Hamnett and Pogonia to off brand lunch meat. Had
Speaker 1: a little bogonia around tense. Not sitting too well, the
Speaker 1: host said, to a muttered reaction. Reading the crowd. O'Brien
Speaker 1: disappointedly added on the ride home, you'll appreciate it. Later,
Speaker 1: he joked that F one received four nominations. F one
Speaker 1: did so well that they're making a sequel. Caps lock.
Speaker 1: Another muted response, so, O'Brien, confess some of these I
Speaker 1: do for myself. Relax, everybody, It was good if you'd
Speaker 1: like to hear these jokes. I pulled most of these.
Speaker 1: If you didn't listen to Monday's episode, they're all in
Speaker 1: the first six minutes or so of Monday's podcast. Radar
Speaker 1: Online also pulled online reactions. One person wrote, these Conan
Speaker 1: jokes are so bad. Another complained not having a lot
Speaker 1: of fun right now. One person lamented, I can't stand
Speaker 1: this Conan O'Brien anymore. Rotten humore. Let me count the
Speaker 1: o's there in humor one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten,
Speaker 1: oh's in humor. A fourth person blasted Conan O'Brien's absolutely
Speaker 1: feeble monologue. Several awkward moments of silence from the audience
Speaker 1: after the jokes. The Irish star happy Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1: They seem to be a little gossipy. They talked about
Speaker 1: Conan on the Red carpet, They said, ConA looked dapper
Speaker 1: in a classic black seat while he took pictures alongside
Speaker 1: his wife, who stunned in a sleeveless dress. The late
Speaker 1: night host appeared to oblige photographers and stand for photos,
Speaker 1: but quickly was ready to wrap it up amid all
Speaker 1: the snaps. When photographers kept calling his name, Conan appeared
Speaker 1: to get more antsy after his red carpet pictures came
Speaker 1: to close. He reportedly said go away before saying all done,
Speaker 1: seeming to be fed up with posing. According to lip
Speaker 1: reader n Jay Hickling, I'm not familiar with lip reader
Speaker 1: n Jay Hickling, but i have been following comedy for many,
Speaker 1: many years. I've never heard any such behavior out of
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien. I've heard things about people. I've never heard
Speaker 1: a negative word about Conan O'Brien. I've never heard anyone
Speaker 1: no love working with Conan O'Brien for Conan O'Brien, with
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien, So that would surprise me, although if it
Speaker 1: did happen, to be fair to ConA O'Brien, he did
Speaker 1: kind of have to go inside to host the Oscars,
Speaker 1: and you might want to get your head into that space.
Speaker 1: This article as well goes to social media. By the way,
Speaker 1: sidebar I talked about this, maybe it was on Saturday
Speaker 1: Show about how sometimes you just sit down and do
Speaker 1: a show and you find a through line. I didn't
Speaker 1: set out to do the reads the way that I'm
Speaker 1: doing them today, and you kind of stumble into something
Speaker 1: that's working and you go with it. That's the beauty
Speaker 1: of doing this every day. Sidebar over. Fans on Twitter
Speaker 1: were quick to react to Conan's interaction with those photographers.
Speaker 1: One wrote, ConA being the most confused man in Hollywood
Speaker 1: while simultaneously being the most talented person in every room
Speaker 1: he wants into is my favorite gender hashtag oscars. Someone
Speaker 1: else wrote, Conan O'Brien looks sharp tonight out of his classic,
Speaker 1: stylish and totally red carpet. Ready, I just checked the clock.
Speaker 1: We have a lot more to do, so this is
Speaker 1: going to be break at number one, and before we
Speaker 1: do that, if you like the program without commercial diruption,
Speaker 1: one thing you can do take out the Apple podcast
Speaker 1: app click that batter. It says uninterrupted listening, and then
Speaker 1: for five bucks a month, you don't have to deal
Speaker 1: with this The L eight Times writes all heil Conan O'Brien,
Speaker 1: who could host the Oscars forever, and we wouldn't mind.
Speaker 1: They write the question this year, as it is every year,
Speaker 1: is how this Oscar's night was different from any other
Speaker 1: Oscars night. With Conan O'Brien returning his host, the ceremony
Speaker 1: was much in the spirit of twenty twenty five, except
Speaker 1: this was all at all livelier, funnier show. Not perfect,
Speaker 1: of course, as the only program to ever occupy three
Speaker 1: hours of television without flagging was Sabato Chagante, But gag wise,
Speaker 1: the Oscar Broadcast is fundamentally a comedy with speeches. It's
Speaker 1: hit to missus. Ratio was good or better than your
Speaker 1: average SNL episode. I think everything about that paragraph is perfect,
Speaker 1: and they write and they nailed this too. Conan O'Brien,
Speaker 1: whose persona is equal parts madness, sincerity, self love and
Speaker 1: self hate, would seem to be a perfect host for
Speaker 1: broadcast that needs to take things seriously, but not so
Speaker 1: seriously that it alienates anyone who doesn't belong to the
Speaker 1: community at cele It's a show that exists both in
Speaker 1: the world of Hollywood and the world outside the industry. Well,
Speaker 1: well said Nicki Glazer gave the show a review, and
Speaker 1: my initial reaction to that was, who asked you? Well?
Speaker 1: The answer to who asked Nicki Glazer's e news? But
Speaker 1: all right, suddenly we care what Nicki Glazer thinks about
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien hosting the Oscars relaxed Golden Globes host Should
Speaker 1: we ask Joe Koy what he thought of Kimmel? Nicki
Speaker 1: Glazer was on the Gray carpet at the Vanity Fair
Speaker 1: Oscars party aka Hollywood has accepted her. She's now an insider.
Speaker 1: This all sounds like I'm shading Nikki. I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: just analyzing the news here. Nicki gave Conan O'Brien an
Speaker 1: a plus. She said he killed it last year. I
Speaker 1: knew he was gonna kill it again this year. I
Speaker 1: got a chance to see his monologue about a week
Speaker 1: ago and he got off stage, and I really meant
Speaker 1: it when I was like, that's a plus. Changed nothing.
Speaker 1: But she did say Coonan did tweak some stuff. She explains,
Speaker 1: things come out of the news cycle and they don't
Speaker 1: work anymore, so you have to keep updating it. Wait,
Speaker 1: two Golden Globes that we're treating her like she's Billy Crystal. Now, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna throw up. He Knews relaxed with this.
Speaker 1: The stand up star also compared Conan's work to her
Speaker 1: own hosting experience, noting that while the Golden Globes feels
Speaker 1: more like a comedy club, Oscar Night is a different
Speaker 1: room for comedy than any other. She explains at the
Speaker 1: Academy Awards as a comedian, that's a tough room because
Speaker 1: they're far away. It's very stuffy. They haven't been drinking,
Speaker 1: they haven't been eating. They're hungry, and they're tired, and
Speaker 1: they're sober. So it's a hard room to kill in.
Speaker 1: Nicky felt. Conan rose to the occasion, adding with that
Speaker 1: a play I was like, God, he killed it. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nicki Glazer. Ricky Gervase was asked would he
Speaker 1: like to host the Oscars. Well, he can't because it's
Speaker 1: Conan's job for life. Ricky went on Twitter and responded
Speaker 1: to a fan account named the Ricky Gervay's Clips. Fan
Speaker 1: account The Ricky Gervay's Clips posted repost if you wish
Speaker 1: Ricky Gervaise was hosting the Oscars tonight, Jervase himself quote responded, writing,
Speaker 1: if that you may recall Ricky Gervay's host of the
Speaker 1: Golden Globes in twenty ten, twenty eleven to twenty two,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and twenty twenty. If you were at the
Speaker 1: Oscars you found snack boxes under your seats? Yeah? Hey,
Speaker 1: did you catch that? That yeah thing? That is a
Speaker 1: total lift from Conan O'Brien that I subconsciously did. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure it's subconscious. I might just do it, but
Speaker 1: I was listening to the edit and I caught myself
Speaker 1: do it. So what Conan will do is he'll say
Speaker 1: something like the sky is blue, yeah, scientists say. And
Speaker 1: as I was watching the Oscar Sunday night, I saw
Speaker 1: him do it. I pulled a clip where Conan does it.
Speaker 1: So in a second, I'm gonna play Conan doing it,
Speaker 1: and then I'll go back to where we were before.
Speaker 1: I jumped in here. But just I heard the yeah move,
Speaker 1: and I just thought i'd jump in and comment on it.
Speaker 1: I was in a movie this year, Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: in a movie. If you were at the Oscars you
Speaker 1: found snack boxes under your seats? Yeah, Conan O'Brien wrote
Speaker 1: a note that was found in your box, which also
Speaker 1: included a sketch of Conan O'Brien. The note read, and
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy this Conan O'Brien moderately happy meal
Speaker 1: these snacks. It may not look like much, but in
Speaker 1: any movie theater that run you eighty five dollars. Good
Speaker 1: luck tonight, have fun and remember that loud, enthusiastic laughters
Speaker 1: good for your health in my ego. The notes were
Speaker 1: addressed to dear nominee Slash plus one slash seat filler
Speaker 1: in the box, a bag of popcorn, a bottle of water,
Speaker 1: and either Mike and Ikes or Junior Mints. If guests
Speaker 1: were hungry, they could go to the lobby to grab
Speaker 1: some trail mix, and guests could also snack on dehydrated
Speaker 1: vegetables during the ceremony. Apparently, snack boxes have been a
Speaker 1: tradition for several years. In twenty twenty four, Jimmy Kimmel
Speaker 1: provided soft Philly style pretzels. Last year, Conan provided Swedish fish,
Speaker 1: a pretzel and water. Hours before the Oscars took place,
Speaker 1: some movie posters showed up in Los Angeles. These movie
Speaker 1: posters were fake, and they mocked President Trump. Activist group
Speaker 1: Everyone Hates Elon posted images across the city. Some of
Speaker 1: them spoofed the movie one Battle after another as a template.
Speaker 1: The acting credits at the fake movie poster were attributed
Speaker 1: to President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary of Defense. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying Secretary of War because that's not officially the title.
Speaker 1: Despite what the White House says, Secretary of Defense Pete
Speaker 1: Hegseth and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Nett Yahoo a
Speaker 1: fake quote from Jeffrey Epstein reads a great distraction with
Speaker 1: the words from the directors of the Gaza Genocide. On
Speaker 1: the fake poster, where you would normally see Leonardo DiCaprio,
Speaker 1: the pranksters replaced Leo's face with Trump, scenes of war,
Speaker 1: an explosion of fire and smoke, and a war torn city.
Speaker 1: A spokesperson for Everyone Hates Elon said, after promising no
Speaker 1: foreign wars, it turns out Donald Trump wants one battle
Speaker 1: after another. The group added spoiler, you already know who
Speaker 1: dies in this film, and it's not just the bad guys,
Speaker 1: it's American service people and schoolgirls in Iran. The White
Speaker 1: House was not happy with Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel was presenting
Speaker 1: the award for Best Documentary Feature. At one point he
Speaker 1: said the following line. He didn't say who was referring to,
Speaker 1: but what Jimmy said was, oh man, he's going to
Speaker 1: be mad. His wife wasn't nominated for this. It is
Speaker 1: assumed that he would be Donald Trump and his wife
Speaker 1: would be Milania, who had a documentary that was not
Speaker 1: nominated for Best Documentary Feature. White House Communications director Stephen
Speaker 1: Chung fire off a tweet. He shared a clip of
Speaker 1: Kimmel's joke and called Jimmy Kimmel a classless hack who
Speaker 1: was self projecting his depression and sadness onto others. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure I agree with that assessment. The White House
Speaker 1: Communications director had more to say about Jimmy kim Well,
Speaker 1: writing he lives a pathetic existence where nobody, not even
Speaker 1: his family, enjoys his miserable company. The only people giving
Speaker 1: him any attention are Hollywood elites, and then all caps
Speaker 1: bye bye. At the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel spoke to Variety
Speaker 1: and said he was exhausted by having a comment on
Speaker 1: the President on a show each night. Kimmell said, we
Speaker 1: live in a ridiculous country. We always lived in a
Speaker 1: ridiculous country, but it was always ridiculous in a fun
Speaker 1: mister T kind of way. Meeting the guy from the
Speaker 1: A team in Rocky three, Kimmell said, now we've got
Speaker 1: a different mister T. Ver Dawes was on Instagram, he
Speaker 1: answered a not asked question why does an India do
Speaker 1: a Gervais or even a Conan style hosting of a
Speaker 1: major film awards? Well as someone who wrote the script
Speaker 1: from many Indian awards for five years, Here's why. The
Speaker 1: point of having comedian host en roast the Oscars or
Speaker 1: Film Awards is that for night a jester would humanize
Speaker 1: the most beautiful chosen people in the world since they
Speaker 1: were being celebrated already. That's what any joke is a
Speaker 1: punch up here, meaning India story goes won't take a
Speaker 1: joke from anyone not at their level. Ironically, the big
Speaker 1: of the star who hosts the trigger it's gonna be
Speaker 1: because like three people are at that level. So a
Speaker 1: huge star hosting works for the people in the room,
Speaker 1: just not always funny for the people watching, simply because
Speaker 1: the power balance is off. Since it is Saint Patrick's day,
Speaker 1: I do want to get this story in. We'll clear
Speaker 1: this out. Conan was on Kimmel last week and shared
Speaker 1: how a recent trip to Ireland and the story of
Speaker 1: his great grandfather gave him a new perspective on immigration.
Speaker 1: One year ago today, I was in Dublin at the
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day Parade. It was fantastic. They are much
Speaker 1: better at the Saint Patrick's Day Parade than the New
Speaker 1: York City one. Love it from New York, but it's
Speaker 1: just cops and firemen and bagpipes and more cops and
Speaker 1: more firemen and more cops and more bagpipes. The one
Speaker 1: in Dublin is more like the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. It
Speaker 1: was tons of fun with like really cool floats. I
Speaker 1: digress and the show's long enough. Freddy today, John, get
Speaker 1: to it, okay. Coda O'Brian said, I went back to
Speaker 1: Ireland and I saw a great genealogist who said, I
Speaker 1: found where your great grandfather's home was. No home is gone,
Speaker 1: but he found the little spot where he lived near
Speaker 1: the Gallbali Mountains. He said, I'll go there and I'll
Speaker 1: show it to you, and I said, we'll do it
Speaker 1: on camera. Conan said, I was expecting have these jokes
Speaker 1: loaded up, we had props and funny things we were
Speaker 1: going to do. But I got there and I didn't
Speaker 1: expect this because I'm not someone who wears my emotions
Speaker 1: on my sleeve. But I got emotional. It was very powerful.
Speaker 1: There was this very small plot of land. He was
Speaker 1: a tenant farmer, so it wasn't his. He didn't have money,
Speaker 1: and he needed to move on because it wasn't working,
Speaker 1: probably not enough to eat, couldn't sustain, so he left
Speaker 1: and went to America and here I am a couple
Speaker 1: generations later. What's amazing to me is when you have
Speaker 1: that experience and you stand there, I have incredible empathy
Speaker 1: for people who have immigrated to another country. Takes an
Speaker 1: entire lifetime to go to a country where often people
Speaker 1: don't speak the language. They have to spend their entire
Speaker 1: lives just getting things started for the next generation. It's
Speaker 1: a whole lifetime that you're feeding into the process. I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about this guy whom I'll never meet,
Speaker 1: who had to do that. I think he was overcome
Speaker 1: by the fact that there's a lot of sadness, and
Speaker 1: that's story, and a lot of these stories people leave
Speaker 1: not because they think, Hey, I just want to go
Speaker 1: a fun in America. They leave because they have to.
Speaker 1: We're coming up. Mark Norman has a special out today.
Speaker 1: We are long enough today. Boy, some other time, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you about when I went up to Belfast. It
Speaker 1: was really, really emotionally moving, and the Conin story just
Speaker 1: reminded me that also on my mind. Michael B. Jordan
Speaker 1: going to In and Out Burger after the Oscars ball
Speaker 1: or move love it. In and Out is fantastic. I
Speaker 1: got a nice note on the side from one of
Speaker 1: the listeners, and this note really really means a lot
Speaker 1: to me. The gist of the note was this person
Speaker 1: listens to the program every morning and finds it a
Speaker 1: nice distraction from the news, maybe not that story I
Speaker 1: did about the fake billboards, but finds it a nice
Speaker 1: distraction from the news, and thanked me for doing the
Speaker 1: show every day. And look, guys, this show is nothing.
Speaker 1: This is just a lunatic rambling in the basement about
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler unless you guys actually listen to it. So
Speaker 1: I really truly appreciate that you listen, and I love
Speaker 1: getting notes from that. I'm not asking everyone to write
Speaker 1: a note, but I do those notes mean a lot
Speaker 1: to me? And I think the big takeaway for me
Speaker 1: is what I'm going for is nice enough guy, mildly amusing,
Speaker 1: easy on the ears. That's all the shows really designed
Speaker 1: to be, you know, ten, twelve, fifteen, or today thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: you know, help kill the morning commute or however your
Speaker 1: reason today, And again I appreciate it. I also forgot
Speaker 1: to pull. I got a nice note apparently I mispronounced
Speaker 1: the way you're supposed to say the name of a
Speaker 1: fish in the Steve Harvey story from over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Got a nice note on Facebook about that. I'll try
Speaker 1: and remember to put that in tomorrow. But I'm not
Speaker 1: being a jerk. It was a nice note. It was
Speaker 1: well phrased. Was like, hey, man, just want to let
Speaker 1: you know, and I was like, okay again, kid from
Speaker 1: Queen's I don't know too much. Mark Norman has a
Speaker 1: special out today. There was a point where this was
Speaker 1: the lead story today's script. But here we are like
Speaker 1: a half hour in titled none Too Please. It's on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Filmed at the Boulder Theater in Boulder, Colorado. Mark Norman
Speaker 1: turns married life, fatherhood not button topics. It's too rapid
Speaker 1: fire punch lines and this witty free for all or
Speaker 1: nothing is off limits. Mark said, actually got caught going
Speaker 1: a strip club recently by my wife, but on how
Speaker 1: she caught me, I only talked about it on four podcasts.
Speaker 1: That's in the trailer. I'm excited for this one. Mark
Speaker 1: spit around for a bit. Now not a household name.
Speaker 1: Good looking guy hangs out with the comedians who can
Speaker 1: accelerate his career. Joe Rogan, boy, you know everything is
Speaker 1: timing and maybe this one on Netflix will just really
Speaker 1: really pop. Mentioned yesterday about Bert Krasier's tour bus fire.
Speaker 1: The subreddit dedicated to the podcast Your Mom's House had
Speaker 1: some fun with it. These comments are amazing. One person wrote,
Speaker 1: now Bert has a second story to tell that is
Speaker 1: just amazing. Drop the MIC's or nothing's going to top
Speaker 1: that other people tried. One wrote, hopefully this tragedy doesn't
Speaker 1: make them become an alcoholic for the last twenty years.
Speaker 1: Another said you have to question if Bert did this
Speaker 1: on purpose to make a headline. That's how much of
Speaker 1: an attention where he is. I do find it interesting
Speaker 1: that the fire happened and then a couple hours later
Speaker 1: Netflix announced he got a season two of Free Bird.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying those things are related. Mark Norman with
Speaker 1: a really good line. Yes, the same Mark Norman with
Speaker 1: the special out Today, Mark Norman wrote something can stop
Speaker 1: the machine creat line. Tim Dillon chimed in. He wrote,
Speaker 1: of the wreckage looks like a photo of downtown Austin. Boy,
Speaker 1: I've got stories I can't even bump today. It's Saint
Speaker 1: Patrick's day. If I don't do this one now, when
Speaker 1: are you gonna do it? From The La Times, irishman
Speaker 1: David Nil feared public speaking before he found stand up.
Speaker 1: Now he won't stop talking. David's special Cultural Appreciation is
Speaker 1: two and a half million views on YouTube, but he
Speaker 1: said I wouldn't even call mine comedy specials. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to do performance, but I don't know how
Speaker 1: to talk. Growing up in Ireland, he struggled to learn
Speaker 1: he is dyslexia. I said, I came in the lowest
Speaker 1: five percent tile in the whole country of Ireland for
Speaker 1: spelling and I didn't even spell my name right on
Speaker 1: the test. His father offered to buy him a Super
Speaker 1: Nintendo for certain math scores. David didn't get those scores.
Speaker 1: Dad bought it for him anyway, and then David sold it.
Speaker 1: Bought myself a motorcycle even though I was fifteen and
Speaker 1: not legally old enough to drive. As an ireland your
Speaker 1: nature is just a default of funny stories, he says.
Speaker 1: American stand ups about taking a topic and make it
Speaker 1: funny for five minutes. Irish comedians say this thing happened
Speaker 1: to me, and I think that's funny. Let me just
Speaker 1: repeat it, he says. He prefers telling stories to just
Speaker 1: a few people. That's interesting and I love this too.
Speaker 1: He says, with comedy, the best part for me is
Speaker 1: that before show, I eat half a chocolate bar and
Speaker 1: I leave the other half in the hotel room. After
Speaker 1: the show, I get to finish it. That's true happiness.
Speaker 1: I also can't bump this story about Maggie Winters. She's
Speaker 1: got a special out today on YouTube. It's called Margarite.
Speaker 1: It includes Maggie Winter's performing stand up from her bedroom,
Speaker 1: as well as other videos and bits. She explained, I
Speaker 1: did improv for about five years, and at the time
Speaker 1: of my life, I was scared of stand up. I
Speaker 1: never actually thought I would do it, so I'm shocked
Speaker 1: that I'm here today. The theme of the special. It
Speaker 1: started as a joke but is fully The theme is Live, Laugh, Love.
Speaker 1: I talk about my life, I talk about my laugh
Speaker 1: and I talk about my love. The show is in
Speaker 1: three sections. One of the jokes is about all Irish
Speaker 1: Americans landed here, so now it's people who have the
Speaker 1: Irish flag tattoo but have never set foot in Ireland.
Speaker 1: And that is a very long daily comedy use today.
Speaker 1: Did you see why we didn't get into Sebastian Menascalgo
Speaker 1: and Marcelo Hernandez and snl UK and the New York
Speaker 1: Times writing about comedy and the Epstein Files. We had
Speaker 1: a lot to do tomorrow, but that's enough for now.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you see tomorrow.
