00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Time, Johnny Max, today's my least favorite day of the

3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>year with your comedy news forgot to say that part.

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 2>So recently my daughter asked me, what's your favorite holiday?

5
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 2>And I said, Thanksgiving? Why? Dad, Because everybody celebrates Thanksgiving,

6
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I just like it. Everybody takes the

7
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>day off. We all kind of do the same thing,

8
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the same basic tradition, turkey football, go to somebody's house.

9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Details may differ, but you know, the basic thing. Kind

10
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>of everybody in the country celebrates it. But then I said,

11
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>except me. I'd rather just stay home, play video games

12
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 2>and get a pizza. So we continue that conversation. I said,

13
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 2>my favorite moment of the year is Friday afternoon into

14
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>Memorial Day weekend because you have the whole summer in

15
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>front of you. The possibilities are endless. There's long sun,

16
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>so you know, around five oh one on that Friday,

17
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 2>it's like, oh, it's summer. This is so great. Today,

18
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>the day after Labor Day, is my least favorite day

19
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>of the year. We are as far from summer as possible.

20
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>You can't listen to the Beach Boys. Shomy Buffett doesn't

21
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>sound right anymore. You gotta go back and hard rock

22
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>winter music. And if you have a job, job, and

23
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a job job right now. Boy, the

24
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>bosses always are like, okay, back to work fall initiatives,

25
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's just like, I don't want to be here, dude. Anyway.

26
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>THEO Vaughn claims he was so paranoid about using the

27
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>bathroom when he interviewed a former President Trump that THEO

28
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>decided to urinate in a cup. Why he thought the

29
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 2>secret Service agent might think the sound was some kind

30
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>of secret message, THEO said, some super scared there. He

31
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>ended up just being into a cup. They had a

32
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>red solo cup that I brought in there and peed

33
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>in it, and then I just bought it into the toilet. Dude,

34
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 2>like along the side of the toilet walls. It'd be

35
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>real quiet, you know. I just kind of think I

36
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>was getting super paranoid. I think super paranoid is an understatement.

37
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Phil Wang's new special is out today. Apparently I source

38
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 2>this from The Fordian, which is like The Guardian but

39
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>a typo Phil Wang? Are you excited about your new

40
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>stand up special? Wang? In their Baby arriving on Netflix today,

41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Phil Wang said, I am I don't know, he said, more.

42
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Apparently because of my previous one, Philly Philly Wang Wang

43
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 2>was affected by the pandemic. That was a really good special.

44
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>That last special was covid Wang. This is normal, actual whang.

45
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's nice to have an exclamation point in the title,

46
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>like Oklahoma. It gets you going before we even started.

47
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 2>It was filmed at the Sam Wannamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe.

48
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>How's that? Phil said? So cool beautiful, the only completely

49
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 2>candilit venue in London, if not the country. Right now,

50
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>stand up is being consumed in very intimate ways, often

51
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>on phones, so it plays into that the combination of

52
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>wood naked flames adds an extra frisen. Johnny Mack has

53
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>to look up the word frisen. Anybody out there know

54
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 2>what frisen means. Frisen, also known as esthetic chills or

55
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 2>psychogenic shivers, is a psychophysiological response to rewarding stimuli that

56
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>often induces a pleasurable or otherwise positively balanced effective state

57
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and transient paresthesia, sometimes along with pilo erect and my dresses.

58
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm still not sure what that means. I think it

59
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>means like, oh, the environment feels cool. Prison is the

60
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>French word meaning to shiver or to have chills. The

61
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>BBC has an article called Frison why music can give

62
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>you chills or goosebumps, Just say goosebumps. Boston Magazine asked

63
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Dane Cook the question that anyone would ask Dane Cook. Dane,

64
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 2>do you believe the old saying time plus tragedy equals comedy.

65
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly the first question I would ask Dane Cook.

66
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Danefield it and said absolutely. I'm doing a documentary right

67
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>now talking about putting my brother in prison during what

68
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>was the most harrowing time of my life and career,

69
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 2>was at the height of my comedy career, in the

70
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>depth of personal tragedy and betrayal. And in the documentary,

71
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>not only am I laughing at some of the things

72
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 2>I went through, but I'm enjoying being entertaining telling people

73
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 2>how I got clobbered, literally eviscerated by that betrayal. Boston

74
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 2>mag fought up, does comedy come from a place of

75
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>anger or pain? Dane said, no, I've never subscribed to that.

76
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>There's certainly something to be said for overcoming trauma and

77
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>overcoming challenges. You know, a lot of good comedies come

78
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>from being bullied or minimalized. But I gin it's really

79
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 2>more about understanding people and interpreting those clunky human moments

80
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>that we all experience. Dane, when was the last time

81
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>you snorted from laughing too hard? Yeah, I put a

82
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>comment there. I don't know what you're accusing Dane Cook of,

83
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>and I'm definitely not. I just find the choice of

84
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 2>the word snorted interesting, Deane Cook said, probably just lying

85
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>in bed with my wife. We were both scrolling TikTok

86
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>showing each other things. That's still the funniest thing in

87
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>the book when the guy comes out on his front

88
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>porch and he doesn't know the whole porch is black ice.

89
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>He just takes a header and ends up halfway down

90
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>the driveway. I'm a sucker for slapstick. I was also

91
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>listening to some old Patriso Neil bits and I laughed

92
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 2>out loud. On the same day some old Opie and

93
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Anthony clips of them playing the male Gibson tapes where

94
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 2>he's yelling at his wife, and it was all just

95
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>so twisted and demented. I had a good long day

96
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of laughing at all that content. Opie's got a podcast

97
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and he's been playing old Opie and

98
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>Anthony clips on that one Vulture caught up with Langston

99
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Kerman and John Mulaney the question that everybody's asking, will

100
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 2>there be more episodes of Everybody's in la Mulaney said,

101
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I think we'd like to figure out how to do more.

102
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>It was a very interesting experiment in this confined amount

103
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 2>of time. Definitely open to it. We had lots of

104
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>bits that we didn't get to. Langston said, yeah, I'm

105
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>into it, but I'm not in charge of that. By

106
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 2>the way, speaking of John Mullany, and I shared this

107
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend, I'm play it again here. It was

108
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 2>a really good conversation with John Marco Sarasi, and in

109
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>it he slipped into a Mulani the discussion you'll hear

110
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>the extended discussion. I said that I hadn't realized that

111
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 2>his vocal range was in the same range as mulaney,

112
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and then here listen to this.

113
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Milani's is just in a certain kind of range and

114
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>register that I think is just feels right when I'm

115
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>joking with my friends, if I'm trying to have riff

116
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>off with them, It's just the place that I do

117
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit presentational, it's really clear. It helps

118
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you make a clear setup, and you different to the

119
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 1>setup for the punchline because he changed the often.

120
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>So that's Saturday with John Marco Langston. Do you happen

121
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>to know any friends in comedy who are the subject

122
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>of rumors that one day they'll host the Oscars? Length

123
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>had said, what do you want me to do? You

124
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 2>want me to nudge him? Listen? I didn't get a

125
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>single joke on in twenty sixteen. Langston was a writer

126
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that year. Chris rocketed everything I offered, and I respect

127
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>that choice. He was doing the right thing for him,

128
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and John hosts a lot of cool stuff. I'm sure

129
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>he'll figure it out if that's what he wants to do.

130
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Melandy said, I think I'm not hosting. I said, no,

131
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>people are telling me I'm not. Yeah, I'm not doing that.

132
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Vulture asked Josh Johnson how the Daily Show has felt

133
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 2>since John Stewart came back. Josh said, I think we're

134
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>in a beautiful place. I think we're doing one of

135
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 2>the most historic election seasons the country's ever had, and

136
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>I think we're doing with a team that's been tested,

137
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>having to go through so many different guest hosts, a

138
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 2>testament to the agility of everybody to work with different

139
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>voices and have a real sense of what the show

140
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 2>wants to do and what the show has to do

141
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>outside of just one person. So now we have John Back,

142
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't have this amazing news team of people rotating

143
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that all have very distinctive voices, and they all have

144
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>very different comedic takes on sometimes the same topic. One

145
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 2>of the ways to keep people engages to mix up

146
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>both the delivery of takes and the takes themselves, and

147
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 2>it helps keeps the show fresh and the people excited.

148
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Let me jump in here. We have on here on

149
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 2>the Callaaruga Shark Network Ballot. That's our ten minute daily

150
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 2>show ish kind of program, and I contribute to the writing.

151
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 2>It's been a lot of fun fun lately that show

152
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>has found its voice. So Ballot's ba at Doublelot wherever

153
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>you get your shows. There's some shows with similar titles.

154
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 2>It's the one with a cartoon drawing of an elephant

155
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 2>with Trump like hair and a donkey with Kamala like hair.

156
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Josh says, I think the daily show feels more exciting

157
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>because I'm coming from the Trump years where we'd have

158
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>a show ready and then Trump would do something at

159
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>three and would be like, we should probably include this.

160
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 2>So things don't rattle to me at all. I think

161
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.519
<v Speaker 2>it's more sort of the unprecedented events where're like, what's

162
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the best way to talk about this, where we'll look

163
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>back and be really excited that we took the opportunity.

164
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to host? I'd be open to it,

165
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>but right now I'm happy to be learning. I'm excited

166
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to be doing my chats and going out in the field.

167
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm just learning the differences between writing and being a correspondent,

168
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>and the differences between performing for the studio audience and

169
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>performing for people at home, and how to get more

170
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>and more comfortable out in the field. Mike Cannon will

171
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>have a new special add on September fifteenth. It is

172
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 2>called A Traumatized Animal, a little premiere on Chris de

173
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Stefano's YouTube channel. Chris also served as the specials producer

174
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 2>tape last April at the New York Comedy Club in Stamford.

175
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Traumatized Animal irreverent and honest look at parenting as a

176
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>millennial father looking to break the chain of generational trauma

177
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and an hour jam pack with jokes and stories. Mike

178
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>candidly speaks about his own mental health struggles and love

179
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>for his child one on the Way, as well as

180
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>deep dives into his own childhood while breaking down how

181
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 2>it's impacted his approach as a father. There's a relentless

182
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>and refreshing, authentic hour of comedy from a comedian that's

183
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 2>ready to launch. And I love this article from Slate.

184
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 2>It's about Adam Sandler, they write, it needs to be

185
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>said that despite his current rehabilitation on the pop culture

186
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 2>for Mint, Adam Sandler has mostly starred in slop. I,

187
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 2>like almost every other thirty three year old white guy

188
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 2>on the planet, retained some fawnas for the schlocky eighty

189
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 2>eight minute comedies who produced in the late nineties and

190
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>early odds, Billy Madison, The water Boy, Big Daddy. But

191
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.440
<v Speaker 2>my affection for those films has more to do with

192
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>my wistfulness for a bygone, outrageously y two K form

193
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 2>of cable TV osmosis that's impossible to replicate in the

194
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 2>streaming age. It's ten PM on a summer night, you

195
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>and your friends are a six pack deep and crushed

196
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 2>into an unventilated basement den, someone flips on Spike TV,

197
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Happy go on, Life's never been better. This is the

198
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>world which Adam Sandler became a superstar. And I think

199
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I speak for a lot of people when I say

200
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I haven't revisited much of his work since I left

201
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 2>for college. The jokes weren't great then, and they've only

202
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>gotten worse since. People are coming around. Have you noticed

203
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 2>now where what five years into this podcast? You can

204
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 2>go back? There are tons of episodes with me putting

205
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>in the title Adam Sandler's not funny or something like that,

206
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm on the record on this. People are coming

207
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 2>around to Johnny Max's corner of Hey, maybe Adam Sandler

208
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 2>is not funny at all. Seems like a nice guy.

209
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>He's a good dramatic actor, uncut gems, the Basketball one,

210
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the Space one. He can do it. But some of

211
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 2>these things awful, Jack and Jill, come on, he'd be

212
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Halloween seriously s late right. Sandler put us all through

213
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 2>a truly grotesque late prime. I think even in his

214
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>most ardent, defenders would struggle to go to bat for

215
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>click or pixels. We're grown ups and grown ups two

216
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>those have ten eight percent of rotten tomatoes, the Sandlor

217
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Cinematic four Mammeeler war thin Quickly. There were a lot

218
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 2>of fart jokes, a lot of poof jokes, had a

219
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>potentially lethal dose of Rob Schneider, and Yeah. As Sandler

220
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>enters his late fifties, all of his crimes have been

221
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>miraculously washed away. Last year he won the Mark Twain Prize.

222
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>His recent special bolstered by strong endorsements from needle movers

223
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>like The New York Times. The Comedy Specials being framed

224
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 2>as the next chapter in Sandler's ongoing cultural coronation. Meanwhile,

225
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>halfway through it, Sandler concludes a story about a genie

226
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 2>who only grant him three wishes if he does a

227
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker 2>favor for a man who just suffered explosive diarrhea at

228
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>an airport bathroom. Has he changed? Have we skipping ahead?

229
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Nearly all his peers, particularly his nineties era SNL compatriots,

230
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>are heavily invested in what they perceive as a war

231
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>for the soul of comedy. It's led to some exhausting,

232
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>redundant seminars posting as stand up specials. I never needed

233
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to hear Chris Roxay, the word woke. Sandler should fit

234
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 2>the same mold. He's a man in his late fifties

235
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.840
<v Speaker 2>who can credit much of his success to the low

236
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 2>browed territory in which his filmography treads. Instead of fighting

237
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 2>in culture war, he's dedicated as craftmanship to becoming astonishingly

238
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 2>effective telling the same penis poop and Ford jokes he's

239
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 2>been telling for decades, trimming the fat, reforging their elements.

240
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 2>Tell the land with something you could call grace, and

241
