1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,799
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: Very busy one. Today, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

3
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,359
comedy news at daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians

4
00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:18,280
and the comedy industry. A sentence the algorithm loves. I'm excited.

5
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:22,039
Robert Smigel has launched a podcast in which he and

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,199
his comedian friends try to hush up the hilarity of

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:28,079
everything from a eulogy to a Tinder profile. Now, who

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
are Robert Smigel's celebrity friends? No, no Cone enlisted yet,

9
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:35,399
but he does have David Letterman, Bob Odenkirk, Ellie Kemper,

10
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:38,799
and Jim Gaffigan. As you may know, Robert Smigel best

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,240
known for his TV funhouse segments on SNL. I would

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,840
say he's best known for Triumph Maybe not anyway, He

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,799
is the host of Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends,

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,399
a weekly podcast. It premieres May eighth, so that's later

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,280
this week. I know the trailers already out because I've

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,679
subscribed to it. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends,

17
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,439
Smigel and a rotating panel of his friends assist people

18
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:01,799
seeking help been making something in their real life funnier,

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,719
Smigel told Variety. We've had several rabbis wanting help with sermons.

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,359
There was a woman who wanted to break up with

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,560
her mom group in a diplomatic way that was still funny,

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,079
he told Variety. The original idea was to do like

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,120
a writer's room of sorts. He said, the only dream

24
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:16,200
I had was how much fun I have in writers' rooms,

25
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:18,439
because almost the fun part and being in comedy is

26
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:20,879
just generating ideas. Then you actually have to execute them,

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,480
and that's where the pain comes in. There is a trailer.

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,959
I'll run some of it. I wish the trailer were

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,280
a little better. Being honest, Hello, I'm Robert Smigel.

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: I did lots of things, cartoons, ONSNL, Conan stuff, Triumph,

31
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:36,560
The Insult, comic dogs, some movies, but now I'm past

32
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:39,840
my peak. So I'm hosting a podcast Humor Meet with

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,599
Robert Smigel and friends. Each week, me and my favorite comedians,

34
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:47,159
writers and whatnots help regular people just like you, presuming

35
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:50,159
your regular who have some project or task that they'd

36
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:52,640
like us to help make funnier. You'll see guests like

37
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:56,560
Bob Odenkirk, Jim Gaffigan, David Tel, Mikey Day, Ellie Kemper,

38
00:01:56,599 --> 00:02:00,840
Pete Holmes, Alex Adelman, Bruce McCollough, David Letterman, David Letterman,

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,319
and many great writers dedicated to helping the less humorous.

40
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Netflix has announced the date for season two of Tom

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,879
Sagora's Bad Thoughts and It's Pretty soon, May twenty fourth,

42
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,560
will get six episodes. As you may recall, the series

43
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:17,879
follows Tom Sagoras. He navigates unthinkable situations and fantasies within

44
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,080
a cinematic world. Tom Sigori said, it was such a

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,360
thrill to get the opportunity to entertain in horrify audiences

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,280
with our very bad Thoughts on Netflix. We're all so

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,960
excited to push things further. Speaking of Netflix, Robbie Prau

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,479
and Tracy Podeska they are behind the Netflix as a

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,919
Joe Comedy Festival, and they got the fancy schmancy industry

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,960
interview in Variety. They asked, Robbie, what do you think

51
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:42,439
is the wackiest or most ambitious idea you'll pull off

52
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:44,479
this year. Robbie Prost said, I'm excited to see the

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,800
celebration of Peewee Herman as a Seinfeld dork. I'm excited

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,479
to see Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. That was last night.

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,199
The roast speaks for itself. As for the wackiest things,

56
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:55,240
I'm personally running a five K for the first time.

57
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:58,400
I assume that's the Tom Sagora Berd Krasher five K,

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,360
but you never know. Here's an interesting one. Netflix has

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
invested quite a bit in the podcast space. How's that going,

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,039
pra said, we can't speak to the whole strategy. The

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,719
podcast that our group has been working on is The

62
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:11,159
Pete Davison Show, and we're really happy with that that's going.

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,360
He's doing two shows that are going to sell out,

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,639
one with Nikki Glazer, one with John Mulaney. He was asked,

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,919
is John Malini going to do another season of Everybody's Live?

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,479
What did Johnny Mack tell you? Well, Robbie Prau admitted it, No,

67
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:25,919
we don't think so. No, John is on a big tour.

68
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,639
There's no talk of him doing that right now. Told

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,360
you so. Any interest in Stephen Colbert, Tracy Pocosta said,

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,520
we haven't talked to Steven. We talk about how much

71
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,439
we love him. We're big fans of Stephen Colbert in

72
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:39,520
his show, but nothing specific. All right, What about the

73
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:41,759
roast of Kevin Hart. Robbie Pross said, it's going to

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,719
be a real night of surprises. You have Shane Gillis

75
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:45,680
hosting and Kevin Hart is the roasty. Two of the

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,840
biggest comedy superstars of all time. Might be a little

77
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,319
early to put Shane Gillis on the list of biggest

78
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,800
comedy superstars of all time. I think we need a

79
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,039
little more work there. You know, if you were a

80
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,240
baseball player, he's in like season four, Like, relax a

81
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,680
little with that. He's great, but relax, you know what

82
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:05,520
I'm saying. Don Maddingly didn't make the Hall of Fame.

83
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:08,879
Keith Hernandez not in the Hall of Fame. Robbie Prost says,

84
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:11,000
there has never been a comedian at Kevin's level that

85
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:12,400
has been in that hot seat. He's going to be

86
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:14,199
ruthless at the end of this roast, and I'm excited

87
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,480
to see it. Now, I'm going to fact check that

88
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,000
my gut is telling me. I'm doing this live. My

89
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,839
gut tells me that is not true. Let's see celebrity

90
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,519
roasts of comedians, because he got the Dean Martin ones.

91
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:28,879
All right, let's start with the Comedy Central roasts, Drew Carry,

92
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Jerry Stiller, Rob Runner, Hugh Hefner, Chevy Chase, Dennis Leary, Foxworthy, Family, Anderson, Williams, Shantner, Flavor,

93
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:42,399
Flave Saggott, Cable Guy, Joan Rivers, David Hasselhoff, Trump, Charlie Sheen,

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,279
Roseanne Barr, James Franco, Justin Bieber, Rob Low, Bruce Willis,

95
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,199
Alec Baldwin. You could argue Kevin Hart is bigger than

96
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,839
all of those guys. There was a TV show called

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,000
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, Governor Reagan, Hugh Hefner, Ed McMahon,

98
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,959
William Conrad Kirk, Douglas, Betty Davis, Barry Goldwater, Johnny Carson.

99
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,120
You want to put Johnny Carson up against Kevin Hart

100
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,800
in a battle, It's at least a discussion, right. The

101
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,600
roasters on that were Jack, Benny, Joey, Bishop Foster, Brooks,

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,680
George Byrns, Ruth, Buzzy, Truman, Capoti, Dom Deluiz, Red Fox, Rich,

103
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:18,439
Little Bob Newhart. For nineteen seventy three. You know, I

104
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:21,879
don't know man heads ahead that lineup in nineteen seventy

105
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:24,560
three with Johnny Carson versus whatever they're gonna throw up

106
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,000
Sunday Night. It's at least the discussion. Wilt Chamberlain, Hubert Humphrey,

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,199
Carol O'Connor, Munty Hall, Plugman and Randall, Jaja, Leobta Roscher, Truman, Capodi,

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Don Rickles. It could be Ralph Nader, Jack Benny red Fox,

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Bobby Riggs, George Washington is portrayed by Jan Layton. That's different.

110
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,160
Rowan and Martin Hank Aaron, Joe Namath, Bob Hope. Okay,

111
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,680
please understand, Bob Hope is on the mount Rushmore of

112
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,000
comedy like an eight decade career. I know a lot

113
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,160
of people judge him by the work he did after

114
00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:57,920
turning eighty, but watch the young Bob Hope. He is

115
00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:00,319
solid on that. Neil Armstrong, who's the first next man

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,040
on the Moon? Johnny Bench, Jack, Benny Milton, Burrow, Foster Brooks,

117
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,399
Howard Cosell, Phillis Dillars, Jajah Rich, Little, Ronald Reagan and

118
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,120
a governor at that point in seventy four. I would

119
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,279
assume Don Rickles and others. Telly Savalis, Lucille Ball, want

120
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,319
you want to go head to heead against Kevin Hornt

121
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Lucy Jackie Gleason, Sammy Davis Junior, Michael Landon, Evil Knievel,

122
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,160
Valerie Harper, Muhammad Ali not a comedian, Dean Martin, Dennis Weaver,

123
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,600
Joe Garagiola, Red Fox, Danny Thomas, Angie Dickinson, Gave Kaplan,

124
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:34,079
Tad Knight, Peter Marshall, Dan Haggerty Sinatra not a comedian, Clugman,

125
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:39,000
Betty White, Jimmy Stewart, George Burns, Suzanne Summer's, Joe Namath,

126
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:41,480
Joan Collins, Mister t In nineteen eighty four, and the

127
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,959
last one on December seventh, nineteen eighty four, Michael Landon,

128
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:49,319
I have quite digressed. The premise was Robbie Prost saying,

129
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,720
there has never been a comedian at Kevin's level that

130
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,959
has been in that hot seat. I propose to you,

131
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:58,160
Johnny Carson, we have digressed. They asked Robbie prow about

132
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,560
Louis c k. You remember Louis was canceled at one point,

133
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,920
but now everybody loves Louis. Come out to the Hollywood Bowl,

134
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,120
come see him. Pros said, when it comes to Louis,

135
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,879
part of the job of my team is we listen

136
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,800
to the type of stand ups people want to see.

137
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,000
We also spend a lot of time looking at who's

138
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,319
selling tickets around the world. Louis is at a really

139
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,399
impressive run for the last two years, and it's a

140
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:17,240
great special right now, so we're excited to see it

141
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:20,399
on Netflix this summer, Variety did follow up, you must

142
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:23,920
have anticipated backlash given his twenty seventeen sexual misconduct scandal.

143
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:27,120
How much does that factor in? Pros said, When our

144
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,839
members sit up and open up Netflix, they have a

145
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,800
decision to make of what they want to watch. Oh,

146
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:32,800
that's not a good answer. This is about giving them

147
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:35,040
an option to see a really popular comedian that they

148
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:38,040
may want to watch, who's still putting out great stuff. Sure,

149
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:40,639
that opens the door to and I'm not gonna go

150
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,560
there put up anything. I'll let you use your imagination

151
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,079
as to what anything is. You don't have to watch it,

152
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,319
Like if there's the hate speech show, you don't have

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600
to watch it. That's not a good answer. I'm sprised

154
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,439
the pr people let that make it. Ato Variety, that

155
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,839
is not a good answer. Oh here's a fun one.

156
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,079
They asked, what do you make of Hulu push into comedy? Now,

157
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:02,800
if you listen to this show and I've got some

158
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:05,839
stuff I slept for tomorrow's episode. I don't like Hulu's

159
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:07,959
nail on this at all. Right, he's phrasing, what do

160
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,000
you make of Hulu's pushing to comedy. They've been able

161
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,319
to secure big names for specials, some of which i'd

162
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,480
imagine you also fought for. Do you view Hulu as

163
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,480
a threat? That's hilarious? Bekostas said, I don't know about

164
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,560
that part. But look, competition is always good because it's

165
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,959
good for the comedy community. It means people are working,

166
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,319
getting exposure and getting to tell their stories. See that's

167
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,279
a good answer. I don't know if it's working or

168
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,360
out for them. I know we continue to be in

169
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:31,720
the business with a lot of the people that were

170
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:33,600
on Netflix that have gone to do specials at Hulu.

171
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,799
Because we offer an extension on the stand up brand

172
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,559
for these comedians, We're able to work simultaneously with them,

173
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:41,120
whether that be on the scripted side, on the future side,

174
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,559
or what have you. Me Save some more of this

175
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,559
for tomorrow, as we are already getting along. Because John

176
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:48,840
read you a list of everybody who's ever been roasted.

177
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaking of Louis c k, he was on Jim Norton's podcast.

178
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,440
C K was talking about visiting India as part of

179
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,679
his tour, which is called Ridiculous. In a free Wheeling

180
00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:02,159
check Ye with Jim Norton, Louis c K opened up

181
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:05,399
about what he saw in India, comparing it to how

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,600
he sees poverty, specifically in New York City. Let's let

183
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,240
Louis c K tell you here's a clip.

184
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,519
Speaker 4: Feeling in India is like the and I am ignorant.

185
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,639
Speaker 2: So I just saw what I saw.

186
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 4: Nobody's on the street looking like shit, right, nobody's on drugs,

187
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,519
and nobody's living homeless, do you know what I mean?

188
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:26,039
Like the way in the streets here in New York. Yeah,

189
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,600
I see guys with a little bubble sting like they're

190
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,519
really they really like street syringe. I see guys shooting

191
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,039
up broad daylight all the time now. And then you

192
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:34,799
see guys you.

193
00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: Know that bent over it the way. Yeah this thing.

194
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 4: I didn't see a single person like that. And any

195
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,919
of the places we went to in India. From the hotel,

196
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,039
we could see this area that was like corrugated steel

197
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,559
uh cubes, yeah, with tarps over them, but like a

198
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,159
whole city block. So there's there's a functioning poverty there

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,799
and and there's many levels of housing that are way

200
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:07,240
way cheaper, whereas here we have like a standard. But

201
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,240
if you fall below it, if you're if you can't

202
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:12,840
afford a home in New York City, you're on the

203
00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:16,480
street and you freeze to death, and you're and uh

204
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:20,120
and nobody looks at you, and there's no job for you. Like,

205
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,360
you can't you can't get a job if you don't

206
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,240
have a credit rating in this country. You can't. If

207
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,919
you don't have like a credit card and a real

208
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,360
like identity, you can't just like hustle and see what

209
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,919
you can get done. If you do, you probably live

210
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,320
on the street. You probably live under a tarp somewhere

211
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,480
in a in a really uh not in a group.

212
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:36,399
Speaker 3: You know.

213
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously there are people who build shanty towns

214
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,519
and uh, but the cops come and dismantle them all

215
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,000
the time once I call them.

216
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: The Alex Jones is not happy with this Tim Highdecker stuff.

217
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,120
By the way, Tim Hidecker and for worce people tap

218
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,679
the brakes. I'm kind of sick of it now. It's

219
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,000
a lot of fun for a couple of days, but

220
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:04,879
it's too much now. Alex Jones weight in he captured

221
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:07,720
the post appointed Onion news director and a vowed Satanist.

222
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:10,519
Tim Hideker melts down over the court ruling blocking a

223
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,360
transfer of Info Wars to the Onion. I am not

224
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,600
familiar with Tim Highdecker's choice of worship at all. I

225
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:21,320
don't recall seeing anything where he was an avowed Satanist.

226
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,559
I guess I get asked the internet, is Tim high

227
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:31,279
Decker a Satanist? Well, here is a video from YouTube

228
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,840
one week ago titled Tim Highdecker admits he loves Satan.

229
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,919
I guess we should listen.

230
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: I am going to make a big announcement right now,

231
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,480
and that might affect our relationship. And I am pledging

232
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,480
myself to Satan and to the Prince of Darkness.

233
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: Oh. I read about this last night on a WEBSDAYE.

234
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,919
I read about a fores dot com.

235
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been out there, and now I'm here to

236
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:56,320
confirm that I am a soldier for him. I am

237
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,279
a soldier for the Prince of Darkness, and I hail

238
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,200
him in a lot and respect the hell out of

239
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,600
the devil.

240
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: Okay, there you have it, the words of Tim Heidecker.

241
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,240
So I guess what Alex Jones said in that case

242
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,799
is accurate. A judge has scheduled another hearing from May

243
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:12,639
twenty eighth, so we'll keep an eye on that.

244
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 4: Boy.

245
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:15,279
Speaker 2: I told you there was a lot going on. I

246
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,840
even bumped like four things, which I love to do.

247
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,159
It makes the whole week. It goes so much easier

248
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,279
when I have too much to talk about. I was

249
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,000
actually strategizing with our publicist earlier in the day, and

250
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,480
I told her save some stuff for a week of

251
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,720
Memorial Day, because that's when it gets a little quiet.

252
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:32,360
I'm going to see if we get some press for

253
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,679
this little podcast here. A Radar Online reported there was

254
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,879
an effort behind King charles hilarious jokes. A source said

255
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,519
there was a conscious effort to sharpen the tone of

256
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,279
Charles's words and to make sure the jokes traveled across cultures.

257
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,879
It was less about improvisation and more about precision writing,

258
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:52,519
similar to how late night shows workshopped their material. Another

259
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:55,320
source said the King has natural wit, but this was refined.

260
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:59,159
Lines were tested, adjusted and structured to ensure they resonated

261
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840
in a highly str extu environment without causing offense. It

262
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,039
created the impression of effortless charm. Behind the scenes. It

263
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,639
was highly curated. Every beat was deliberate. The Netflix as

264
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,039
a Joe Comedy Festival continues in Los Angeles. The La

265
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:15,960

Bring old clothes, shoes, at accessories to donate. During the

273
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600
incredible comedy show, a pop up shop will be created

for you to take an item with you when you

275
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,080
leave for free. That's fun. Anything left over goes to

276
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:49,480
local charities. I like it. Let's check the schedule. We'll

277

00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,159
shiny shows, so just to be fair to Netflix. Jim

282

Gaffigan at the Dolby Theater at seven. Fourth biggest comedian

283
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:12,720
I've named it so far, maybe the third. Maybe you

284
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:14,519
think Gaffagan is bigger than Kat and I'm not sure

285
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:17,519
he is. Alana Glazer and romy Yuseffer at the Orpheum

286

go out to La of the like six seven shows

292
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:40,240
I already mentioned, which do you even go see? I

293
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,600
guess I'd go see Letterman. So you're blowing off Seinfeld

294
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:46,879
and c K however you feel about him and Caton Gaffigan.

295
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,720

00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:43,440
ten years. Is that true? Because maybe it is true

315
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,639
because the last one had like eight trillion cuts. Maybe

316
00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:49,720
that was just an album album. Here Comes the Whimsy

317
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,279
