<v Speaker 1>Caalaruga Shark Media. Hey man, sometimes you just gotta hand

2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 1>it to somebody. Hello. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. Congratulations to Jim Gaffigan. His whiskey brand Father

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.719

<v Speaker 1>best New Bourbon at the twenty twenty six San Francisco

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Father Time website. Jim Gaffigan said, I'm obviously not a

10
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 1>bourbon expert. Oh, Jim, I disagree. You are an award

11
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>winning bourbon maker. I salute you, sir. I fall on

12
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 1>my sword. I made fun of you. You are the man.

13
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Jim Gaffigan said, I'm obviously not a bourbon expert, but

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 1>I did do my research and I know what I like.

15
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I handpicked the bourbon and personally signed every bottle of

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Father Time. And no, this isn't some big spirit company

17
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>behind this adventure. It's just me and a buddy from college. Well,

18
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>congrats to Jim and the buddy. The Caboose is a

19
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.599

20
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.319

21
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.280

22
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.760

42
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 1>so they started making more and then CBS was like,

43
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 1>do we even need Stephen Colbert. The answer apparently no.

<v Speaker 1>Fluffy Iglesias. Byron Allen said in a statement, Funny You

66
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Should Ask is a comedy game show with a simple premise.

67
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>For every question, there's a funny answer. Congratulations to Seth Myers.

68
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>His day drinking segment will be presented on Peacock as

69
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.400

00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody and everything day. What happens next? We're going to

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Marceller R and Eds is funny. This is an awful episode.

73
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>You'll find day Drinking with Seth Myers on Peacock Now.

74
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 1>As at the time of this recording, the collection includes

75
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>all but one of the show's seventeen installments. The mystery

76
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 1>holdout episode is Seth Myers. In twenty twenty two with

77
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>post Malone, I saw on the Spotify comment somebody got

78
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>mad at me that I often take shots at Seth

79
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Myers make twelve thirty great again? And as I wrote, look,

80
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a home for Seth and maybe it's Peacock, But

81
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to make twelve thirty great again. And I

82
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>need somebody willing to throw watermelons off a tower, maybe

83
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 1>have a bear masterbait. And I keep coming back to

84
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Chris Fleming. Wouldn't Chris Fleming be a wonderful host of

85
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Late Night with Chris Fleming twelve thirty seven, whatever it

86
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is on NBC, Wouldn't that be great? And then like

87
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Seth Myers could be on like Peacock or something. I

88
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>think that would be awesome. Continuing today's theme of Johnny

89
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Mack is wrong about everything, Jimmy Fallon continues to trail

90
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Kimmel's summer guest host and even lost some ground.

91
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Kimmel Live Minus Jimmy Kimmel averaged one poin five

92
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>seven four million viewers the week Coleman Domingo hosted. That

93
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 1>same week, Fallon did one point four to two million

94
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 1>In the eighteen to forty nine s Kimmel Minus Kimmel

95
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.120

<v Speaker 1>Allen Show Keeps Doing Byron Allen Things. The final week

100
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 1>of Show after Soccer starring James Corden, properly titled FIFA

101

105
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Show is taking August off. I guess I

106
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 1>can't blame them. Meanwhile, over at Comedy Central, they've announced

107

<v Speaker 1>launch exclusively on the Comedy Central stand Up YouTube channel.

110
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Interesting that it's going to YouTube and not actually Comedy Central.

117
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.319
<v Speaker 1>golfing pal Lebron James, who is now a Philadelphia seventy

118
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>six er. There's a video of them playing golf together.

119
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>There were a lot of naughty words, so I can't

120
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>play it for you, but Kevin Hart started using a

121
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of Philly lingo to keep Lebron updated on how

122
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>his new fans talk. Bron said to Kevin Art, you

123
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>back on your Philly lingo, young bull. So I am frustrated.

124
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 1>If you work with me long enough, I will roll

125
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>out of bed and have an idea and like I

126
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>have no patience, I'm like, let's do it now. So

127
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday I was hanging out on the deck poolside

128
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I should do a YouTube live

129
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and then I was like, yeah, the family's around, they'll

130
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 1>just distract me. I'll do it Monday. So Monday one

131
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 1>o'clock I went live on YouTube. And if you caught it,

132
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>thank you. And if you didn't catch it, you're not

133
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna catch it. And here's why I'm frustrated. You know,

134
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm a newbie. I don't know what I'm doing. And

135
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 1>the audio of the live stream cut off after four minutes.

136
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I did like fifteen minutes and a cut off after four.

137
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>It was just me talking about stuff, including the death

138
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of my friend Vinnie Passtoor. Hold On, my wife wants

139
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to know if I want Chinese food. The answer is,

140
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>of course yes, Do you want to order with me?

141
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>We could do this. She's getting Panda Express, hm hot

142
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 1>and orange chicken. Should I get that? There's like a

143
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>black in chicken? Oh update required, Come on, Panda express.

144
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to order. Let's say, how good my

145
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>internet is? I it loaded super fast. The fiosky came

146
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 1>by after the Storm's boy he hooked it up. My

147
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 1>internet is quick. Now I'm going to get a bowl.

148
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>It's this black pepper chicken. That's what I really like her.

149
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't get that. What kind of rice should I get? So? Good?

150
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Fried rice or white rice? I do? Is some fried rice?

151
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Why not? That's not going to be good for the

152
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>salt anyway. So I did this fifteen minute show and

153
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 1>I only have the four minutes of the audio. I

154
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 1>don't know what happens, so I'm very frustrated. I might

155
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 1>try that again on today Tuesday, assuming you're listening Tuesday.

156
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll see if my wife is around and how quiet

157
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 1>the house is or not. But I did enjoy doing

158
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to try it out anyway. I was talking

159
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 1>about Vinnie Passtdoor and a few minutes of the audio

160
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 1>did survive. So let me just drop that in here

161
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll pick it up. But I thought I

162
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 1>would start today talking about Vinnie Passdoor because I was

163
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 1>friends with Vinnie, worked with him on The Wise Guy Show.

164
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>At Serious Exam. I just was reading the press release

165
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 1>in March of two thousand and four, that show came out. Wow,

166
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>So that's do the math John twenty two years ago already,

167
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of crazy. Vinnie was a good guy.

168
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I was happy to see all the press that he

169
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 1>got where people were celebrating his career and his life

170
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and the fun guy that he was. So when I

171
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 1>worked with him, it was the wise Guy Show on

172
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Serious ExM raw Dog Channel. This was in the height

173
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>of Sopranos menia, and the idea for the show as

174
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.279
<v Speaker 1>designed by executive producer Steven van Zant, you know Stevie

175
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>as Silvio on The Sopranos and also from the EA

176
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Street Band. So he started the show to capture the

177
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 1>feeling of the back room at the bottom bing. That

178
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 1>was the idea there. So Vinnie was the star on

179
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the show. He played Big Pussy on The Sopranos, so

180
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>he was the star of the show. And he was

181
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>surrounded by some Italian American character actors, and they were

182
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>quite characters. They were actors, and some of them might

183
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 1>have known somebody and some of them might have been somebody,

184
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.039
<v Speaker 1>but they were always great to me. I enjoyed working

185
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>with them. So we would lock them in a room

186
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>for three hours. At first it was on Saturday. I'll

187
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>come back to that. And then we did the show

188
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.399
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday nights and Vinnie was the ringleader and we

189
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>would do segments like What's your Beef, have some celebrity

190
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>guests in, and it was just a really fun show

191
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>to work with. I remember one night we had The

192
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 1>Beach Boys on, and I'm a big Beach Boys fan.

193
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I was in the control room not quite pre sing

194
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 1>more the adult supervision keep the train on the rails,

195
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and I was talking to Mike Love, the lead singer

196
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Beach Boys, and Mike says to me, are

197
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 1>they real wise guys? And I just sometimes I just

198
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 1>nail things and say things the right way. So I

199
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>said to Mike, I don't know, it's kind of like

200
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 1>being a surfer. And Mike got what I was coming from.

201
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Beach Boys aren't expert surfers. They've been

202
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to the beach, you know, so he appreciated that. We

203
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>started the show it was on Saturdays, and I just

204
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>as I looked up at the press release and saw

205
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that it was in two thousand and four. That reminded

206
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>me of this house that I'm living in right now.

207
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I was on my way to see it. I was

208
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>with my wife and we were going to tour this

209
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 1>house and I got summoned in by one of the

210
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.399
<v Speaker 1>bosses for a Wise Guys show meeting. This was before

211
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the show had launched, on a Saturday afternoon. I was like,

212
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 1>are you kidding me? And I had I was still

213
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>new enough it's serious, and had been out of work

214
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 1>before serious for long enough that I wasn't able to

215
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>tell said, go host yourself. I'm not doing that. Later

216
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 1>in my career, I one hundred percent would have been like,

217
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing that. But in this case, it was

218
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 1>early enough in the run and I needed the gig,

219
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I said, okay, I'll be in. And my

220
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.440
<v Speaker 1>wife wound up looking at the house and you know,

221
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 1>said it to me, this is the house you want.

222
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>It's on a cul de sac and it as a pool.

223
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>And I took her word for it and took the

224
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>leap of faith. And We've been on this house that

225
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't seen and I've lived here for twenty something years.

226
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>The Wise Guys show boy in the middle of Sopranos Mania,

227
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.679
<v Speaker 1>we took the show out to Las Vegas at one time,

228
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know again, I was just a guy along

229
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.919
<v Speaker 1>for the ride, literally along for the ride in the

230
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>limousine with some of the stars of the Wise Guys Show,

231
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>including Vinnie, including Steve Sharipa, who played Bobby Bakalan Sopranos,

232
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 1>and I was one of the humans who got out

233
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>of the limo. The crowds reacting to these people back

234
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of Sopranos media. It was insane. And

235
00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 1>I remember that Las Vegas show, particularly because the guys

236
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>were being a little ornery, as they would get sometimes,

237
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 1>and I remember Shrippa. I kind of snapped at them,

238
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 1>and Shrippa backed me up and was like, you tell him, Johnny.

239
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>And then once Sharrippa told everybody to stay in line,

240
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 1>they all stayed in line, and then the audio cut off, right,

241
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>So what I was saying was that Steve Shirippa told

242
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the guys, you know, hey, John's in charge here, snap

243
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 1>it back, and then all the guys listened. So that

244
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>was nice. And I'm checking my notes here because I

245
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>can't remember, you know, I told the full story, and

246
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember what you heard or not. All right,

247
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>it looks like you didn't hear the part about The

248
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 1>guests on that particular episode were Robert Goulay if you're old,

249
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.159
<v Speaker 1>you know who that is. If you're younger' like who

250
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I think mister Gulay may have had a beverage or

251
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>two or five or eleven, or maybe not at all.

252
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And Debbie Gibson, who was beautiful anyway. Vinny good guy,

253
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 1>had a temper. You can google some stuff about Vinnie

254
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 1>and it'll show up in the news, the temper. Sometimes

255
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 1>he'd be a little annoying to work with, but a

256
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 1>good guy, and I stayed friends with him after The

257
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Wise Guy showanded, and after I left Sirious and for

258
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Reels last week, I was thinking of reaching out to

259
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>him because I was talking to a friend about showbiz

260
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.759
<v Speaker 1>and how all these actors. When you work, you make money,

261
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>but when you don't work, you don't make any money.

262
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>And I was thinking about Steve Shriippa and Vinnie, and

263
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I almost reached out to Vinnie, and I did not.

264
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Vinnie Passtoor was eighty years old and a good guy,

265
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.919
<v Speaker 1>and I'm glad that people on the internet are remembering

266
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 1>him fondly. Let's do one more and get out of

267
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 1>here before the wife shows up with the Chinese food.

268
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 1>There's a trailer out for season two of Leanne. In

269
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>season two, we follow Leanne Morgan's character Lean as her

270
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>world is turned upside down, and it takes place after

271
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 1>the character's husband of thirty three years unexpectedly leaves her

272
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>for another woman. I wonder how her real life husband's

273
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna feel about that. Supported by her family, including her

274
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Ride or Die sister Carol, Leanne learns to embrace the

275
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.200
<v Speaker 1>chaos and find strength, laughter, and hope in the most

276
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:57.440
<v Speaker 1>unexpected places. Leanne tells people to see how Leanne navigates

277
00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 1>this new chapter of her life, handling a divorce, caring

278
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.279
<v Speaker 1>for each parents, dating at sixty. How old are her

279
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 1>parents if she's sixty and trying to make sense of

280
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>it all the way we all do. I hope people

281
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>find it both relatable and hilarious. Oh we learned. The

282
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>season opens with my elderly parents, Celia Weston and Blake Clark,

283
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.039
<v Speaker 1>moving into my house. And now how old are they?

284
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.759
<v Speaker 1>If Leanne is playing a sixty year old character, how

285
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.039
<v Speaker 1>old are these parents? Celia Weston is seventy four, so

286
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.639
<v Speaker 1>your mom is fourteen years older. Than you, and alright,

287
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 1>and Blake Clark held is Blake Clark. He's eighty all right,

288
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 1>so he was twenty when he had Leanne. All right,

289
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>then that works a little bit. John, It's a sitcom

290
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix. Why are you worried about if it makes

291
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.519
<v Speaker 1>sense or not? I don't know. Leanne says she can

292
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 1>relate to this feeling. Her own parents are eighty three

293
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 1>and eighty five. She says, they're still in their home,

294
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 1>but they need more assistance with each passing year. There's

295
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.320
<v Speaker 1>real tension that comes with everyone living under one roof.

296
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>We have to find the humor in it to get through. See.

297

<v Speaker 1>I forget my parents were a little older when they

298
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>had me. I probably quote unquote should have been born

299
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>in like nineteen sixty four, but I was not. I

300
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.799

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 1>That is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.
