WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Here's the meal. If you like Seth Myers,

2
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna like today's podcast. If you don't like Seth Myers,

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>hit thirty second skip, I don't know ten twelve times.

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>I got a lot of Seth today. Hi, I'm Jinny

5
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Mack with your daily coming. He was Seth Meyers dad

6
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Man Walking out tonight ten pm on HBO. Yeah, they're

7
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>still doing that thing where they think I'm gonna sit

8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 1>around till ten o'clock and then watch the thing live.

9
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 1>That's over HBO. What planet are you on? Just put

10
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it up. Seth Meyers dad Man Walking dives in a

11
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Myer's personal life with stories about raising three children, living

12
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>in New York City, and reflections on his family dynamics.

13
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Seth did like a group press conference rather than individual interviews.

14
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Walt had a recap of that. He told a story

15
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 1>about laughing hard at SNL Table Reads. He said, Andy

16
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Samberg wants that to meet the press sketch where Beetlejuice

17
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>was filling it for David Gregory as the host. It

18
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 1>was such a ball attempt by Andy to do his

19
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Beetlejuice impression on SNL. I laughed, very hard, and I

20
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>think Lorn laughed. Not at all toughest hosting gig to

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>kill at, he said, Weirdly, the Emmys was the toughest.

22
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought the SPIE's would be really tough. But the

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>fun thing about the SPI's I realized that no one

24
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>there actually cares if they win ANESP or not. So

25
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 1>if you have good jokes about sports, you can crush.

26
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Where is it the Emmys? I felt a Titanus there.

27
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Dumbest weekend update joke, Seth, I will tell you the

28
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>dumbest joke that definitely didn't work. A man in Washington

29
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 1>State was arrested for animal cruelty after he was caught

30
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 1>having sex with the family dog. Even worse, it was

31
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>makeup sex. Seth says, What I love about that's a

32
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>good joke. What I love about that joke is every

33
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>time I tell it, no one groans until the punchline.

34
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>So even after sex with the family dog, the audience

35
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 1>is still like, okay, we'll hear the man out. The

36
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>delayed groan is why I will never tire of telling

37
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that very dumb punchline. Best Lorne Michael's advice, Seth. When

38
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I started late night, he said, it'll take you eighteen

39
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>months to figure it out. I thought that was too

40
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>much time, but he was one hundred percent right. I

41
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 1>think it was almost eighteen months to the day that

42
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 1>I realized I shouldn't be standing for the monologue. He maybe

43
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>has a reputation for being an impatient person, but I

44
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>think he does appreciate the process and that you sometimes

45
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>need to learn by doing worst. Lauren Michael's advice seth

46
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>my first summer on SNL. He told me that I

47
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 1>should take tap dancing lessons because he thought that would

48
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>give me more confidence as a performer. In fact, it

49
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>was so important he told someone else to tell me.

50
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I never took those tap lessons, but maybe I should

51
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 1>now do something special for him. At the fiftieth Ultimate

52
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Andy Samberg writing Hack, have him say a very dumb

53
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>thing with total confidence. Ultimate Amy Pohla writing Hack. She's

54
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>very funny when she's frustrated and trying to convince people.

55
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>She's right. Most effective trick to make a boring talk

56
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>show guests seem interesting. If you can project to an

57
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 1>audience that you're listening, they'll also want to listen. You

58
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>can't get caught looking like you're thinking about your next question.

59
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Most important lesson he learned about running a writer's room.

60
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're rewriting anything, don't pitch lateral moves. If a

61
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 1>writer's put all his time into writing a piece and

62
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>they have a joke, you can pitch a joke if

63
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>it's twice as good, but if it's as good, they'll

64
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>probably want to use their own joke. Seth was asked

65
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>if he will aboard his bait in the fiftieth aniverse

66
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>of SNL. Let me answer for him. Yeah, like he's

67
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 1>not gonna go. What kind of question was that? Seth said,

68
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I just officially received my first reach out from Lorne

69
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 1>saying would you be available in February should we need

70
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a hand. Seth was on Andy Cohen Show and was

71
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>asked to rank his top five favorite SNL characters, a

72
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>list with which I really disagree. He sets list number

73
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>five Rachel Dratch's Debbie Downer for Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat that

74
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>is a good choice. Three Kate McKinnon's Colleen Rafferty, two

75
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Will Fortes mcgruber, and number one Bill Hayter's Stefan, a

76
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 1>character I never got. Did you listen to Stavro's hockeyist.

77
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>On Neil Brennan's Blocks podcast, Savro said, I don't know

78
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 1>if you have this, but I definitely had the it's

79
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>going to end tomorrow disease of like for the first

80
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>time I started doing well and started making money, I

81
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 1>was like, we're gonna lose all our subscribers tomorrow. And

82
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>then I got a little internet heat, but no one's

83
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna watch my special to like, all right, the YouTube

84
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>special did well, but no one's gonna watch the Netflix special.

85
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I could sell out comedy clubs, but I don't think

86
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>my agents are wrong. I'm not going to sell theaters.

87
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 1>And it's like I just finally allowed myself to be like,

88
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you're fine, pretend it's a different guy's career that you're analyzing.

89
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to fall apart tomorrow. And so once

90
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 1>I kind of did that, I was like, Okay, I

91
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have to say yes to everything. I'll only do

92
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 1>stuff that I think is cool from now on, Like,

93
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 1>I'll do my own stuff and I'll do anything that's cool.

94
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But I've turned down a couple, like some acting stuff.

95
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I've turned down some other opportunities because I'm like, I

96
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>just don't want to do it. I just want to

97
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>hang out. I recognize that I kind of won a

98
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 1>generational lottery of like a guy with my skill set

99
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>born five years earlier, host born five years later. I'm

100
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>trying to make man on the street. Tiktoks, you know

101
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. But I was in the sweet spot

102
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 1>where we might have been the first comedy podcast on Patreon.

103
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Calm down when we started, and it was like I

104
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>just got in on podcasting. I thought podcasts were dead.

105
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I had the wrong business. I was like, well, marin

106
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>this American life comedy bang bang, those are the only ones.

107
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And then like god, we were wrong. Joe Rogan on

108
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 1>his podcast set, I remember the first check I got

109
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a real check. I got a development deal from Disney,

110
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>of all people, I guess I was like twenty six,

111
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was the first time I ever had a

112
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 1>good chunk of money, like six figures in the bank.

113
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And I felt like the weightlift that off me, like

114
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a physical feeling because my whole life I was like,

115
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>how am I gonna eat? How am I gonna pay

116
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>my rent? Then all of a sudden, I don't have

117
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to worry about that anymore. Cristelle Alonso was upset with

118
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a comedy venue in her hometown of McCallen, Texas. She

119
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 1>shared a story on Facebook. As Cristella tells it, she

120
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 1>was backstage at the local theater and then the staff

121
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>kicked her out at midnight. She was in the middle

122
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 1>of a meet and greet. Her family was there. She

123
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 1>said that there was no warning that she needed to

124
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>leave by midnight. She had to pack up everything and

125
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>ask her fans to meet her outside the building. That's awkward,

126
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Alonso posted. The disrespect is something I'll never forget. Then

127
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>once we were outside taking pictures, they came to apologize

128
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and said we could go back inside. No, thank you.

129
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 1>I will not go back inside when you forced us

130
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 1>to leave, I will not go back inside that building again.

131
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when I'll come back to McCallan, but

132
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to figure out another solution. The fans

133
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>were great. The venue sucked. Sounds to me like a

134
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 1>junior staffer was enforcing the midnight rule and not knowing

135
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>how to deal with talent. Didn't look the other way.

136
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>That would be my guess. I did see a recap JD.

137
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Vans with THEO Vaughn. They talked about cocaine THEO said,

138
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it'd be sober if this stuff

139
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>weren't killing people. To be honest with you, I know

140
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that's sad to say, but it keeps me out of

141
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the risk of it. JD said, makes it a little scarier. THEO. Yeah,

142
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's also sad that somebody. I mean, this is

143
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous to say, but you know, you can't even do

144
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 1>cocaine in this country anymore. You know that seems like

145
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a crazy thing to say, And don't say that, but

146
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I said it. JD left and told THEO he was

147
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna steal that line. But after the election, I've got

148
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 1>to win first. As I keep mentioning, it's going to

149
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>be hard not to do politics these next ten days

150
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 1>or so. Are you in Texarcana here, it's a good

151
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>place to drive a truck in a trans am. Bring

152
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>some cores back east? Jay Leno's there tonight. Jay said,

153
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just a comedy show. There's no lecturing, there's no

154
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I think, you know. Rodney Dangerfield and I

155
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 1>were friends for forty years. I have no idea if

156
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Rodney was a Republican or Democrat. I had no idea.

157
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>We just used to talk about jokes, and that's what

158
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll be doing, no obscenities or anything like that. While

159
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in town, he's serving as the Grand Marshal for the

160
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Four Estates Auto Museum's annual Fall Auto Show. Jay said,

161
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>so I'm one above normal marshals. I'm the Grand Marshal, which,

162
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>of course I have the right to arrest or detain

163
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>anyone for any reason at any time. He says he

164
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>enjoys hanging out with fellow car enthusiasts. You know what,

165
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>when you're in California, I meet like one or two

166
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 1>guys and each have like one hundred cars. And when

167
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you go to Texas, Oklahoma, you meet one guy who's

168
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>at a car he's been working on since he got married,

169
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 1>and he put it away when the kids went through school.

170
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 1>And the kids are in college now, so now he's

171
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>back working on fifty seven Chevy. So it's kind of fun.

172
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoy it. If you're in Texarcana the auto

173
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 1>show today from eight to four, Carlos Mencia told Denver's

174
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>six thirty khow if you're easily offended, please leave. It's

175
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 1>because I care. I care about your time, I care

176
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>about you. I care enough to know that I'm not

177
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.639
<v Speaker 1>for you, that's who I am. Once you buy into it,

178
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it's such a beautiful, cathartic thing to watch everybody just

179
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.319
<v Speaker 1>give into the laughter and see the difference between comedy

180
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and anger, between racial and racist. All this stuff becomes

181
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 1>comedic fodder. And I think that's where I'm living right now,

182
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think people need that. People need to be

183
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 1>told out a bad person because you laugh. It's a

184
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 1>mechanism that we use. The host brought up Dave Chappelle's

185
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.879
<v Speaker 1>War against the Woke, and Sea said, think about the

186
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>phrase itself, punching down. It assumes presumes that you either

187
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 1>place me above those people or I do. And I

188
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:15.959
<v Speaker 1>don't understand punching down. I don't get it when I

189
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>do my jokes about me or my family. It's okay.

190
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Self deprecating humor can be just as hurtful sometimes as

191
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>anything else. I can go up there and talk about

192
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>how I'm overweight, but the midnight I talk about how

193
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 1>you're overweight. That's where the line gets crossed, and that's

194
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the hypocrisy. We the truth tellers, are needed. We're also

195
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the valve for people who are angry, who are taking

196
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.759
<v Speaker 1>life a little too seriously. And that is your comedy

197
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 1>news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a

198
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>friend about it. They might like it too. If you

199
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.039
<v Speaker 1>would like the show without commercial interruption, you're run out podcasts,
