mean, I'm surprised even Nate makes the

35
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.960
list. Nate is still on the
rise. I'm not ready to put them

36
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.199
in the Hall of Fame yet.
UCB and Matt Besser are back with a

Conan's new travel series in the featured session.

46
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.000
Conan O'Brien must Go, I've been
talking about that one for quite a

47
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.240
while. Conan on what's it coming
out? We'll deep dive on that next

48
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.000
week because the big story today,
Adam Sandler's Spaceman is out. I've got

49
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.879
a night of TV plan. I'm
gonna watch Spaceman and then I'm gonna watch

50
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.319
David Cross on YouTube. That is
the plan for tonight, my friends.

51
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.280
Sandler was on Conan's podcast and talked
about Taylor Swift. Now, what's surprising

52
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.560
to me is on Thursday, as
I put the show together, there were

53
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:58.560
a million articles about Sandler talking about
Taylor Swift, which is weird to me

54
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.400
because the podcast came out on Monday
and I hadn't seen a thing about this

55
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.639
in three days. I didn't even
realize Sandler was on Conan. Believe me,

56
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.800
I would have talked about it.
I've pulled the transcript for it,

57
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.719
and if I get a minute,
I'm going to go through and talk more

58
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.519
about that interview. Candidly. I
was running out the door Wednesday night heading

59
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.959
to Eighties Trivia Night. Oh my
god, we finished thirteenth. I'm so

60
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:25.519
embarrassed. I'm like, mister nineteen
eighties thirteenth. I can't blame my teammates.

61
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.160
I just didn't know the answers.
I'm very embarrassed by this. I

62
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.480
did laugh though. The trivia guy. He showed up at a Mets satin

63
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.639
jacket, and I almost pulled out
my Mets satin jacket to go with an

64
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.439
eighties theme. I also considered pulling
out my nineteen eighty three Tom Siver jersey,

65
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.680
but it was cold, so I
didn't do either of those anyway.

66
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.800
So I was running out the door, and then Richard Lewis passed away,

67
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.199
so I had to cram out a
quick bonus episode two days ago, and

68
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:54.240
then yesterday putting together the Richard Lewis
Tribute episode ate up most of the mornings,

69
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.600
so when I get a minute,
I'll go through the Conan transcript,

70
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.079
and as I've talked about before,
I'd like to listen to the episodes before

71
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:00.360
i go through the transcript, so
I know what I'm looking for. But

72
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.879
I'm just gonna need some time anyway. Adam Sandler was on Conan's podcast,

73
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.720
and Sandler said, Taylor Swift because
what she means to my kids, I

74
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.560
get a little jumpy, just because
I don't want to blow from my kids.

75
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.800
So I'm a little like Taylor Taylor, like I talk a little loud

76
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.720
or something. I don't stay as
cool as I can. Sandlor Air said

77
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.639
he also understands the comparisons between the
Beatles and Taylor Swift. He says,

78
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.439
people talk about the Beatles of it
and all I mean, so many smash

79
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.040
hits. There's not a word my
kids don't know. I know them too,

80
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.959
by the way, but they know
them inside now. But it just

81
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.959
remember the Beatles. Every song on
the record, you know that's Taylor Swift

82
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.920
too. There's not a song you
skip you go. That one's pretty damn

83
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.879
cool. Adam Sandler was at the
premiere of Spaceman and he was asked if

84
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.480
he went to space for real life, what kind of junk food would he

85
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.600
take with him? That's a weird
question to randomly ask Adam Sandler. Sandler

86
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.240
said, oh, that's good.
I guess now a marathon BORI you ever

87
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.720
have one of those? They don't
make him anymore. Maybe they only make

88
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.600
a few. He was asked if
there's a secret factory making them for Sandler.

89
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.560
I feel like something's up here,
don't you. This is a weird

90
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.560
question to ask, and Sandler said
no, I don't. Well, maybe

91
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.120
I do. I'm Sandler, for
God's sake. I can get a marathon

92
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.639
bar, all right. The Daily
Meal reminds us marathon bars were discontinued in

93
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.399
nineteen eighty one. Marathon was a
combination of chocolate and caramel in a braided

94
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.600
link bar. The Daily Meal also
points out that Cadbury's Curly Whorli bars are

95
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.519
quite similar, but are scarcely available
in the US. Something's up there,

96
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.800
been doing this long time. Something's
up. At that same premiere, Sandler

97
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.160
told The Hollywood Reporter how the director
kept saying, I want to see none

98
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.480
of Adam Sandler in there. I
like this director. I agree. I

99
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.240
want to see none of Adam Sandler
in this either, and Adam saying,

100
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.199
I understand. I hear that in
my house too. I want to see

101
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.439
none of Adam Sandler. Hey,
Adam Sandler, and I agree. Sandler

102
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.560
said, I did my best to
prepare for the role. They did a

103
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.519
call with the astronauts at the International
Space Station. Sandler said, they told

104
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.800
us so many cool stories. We
got to watch them float around. I

105
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.759
was like, oh, I got
to look like that. They told me

106
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.240
about life up there, and what
their days are like and how to pass

107
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.120
the time, and what it's like
when they're missing home, and how heartbreaking

108
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.639
it is. Sandler added he tried
not to watch too many other space films

109
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.600
because he didn't want to rip off
anybody. All right, So is Spaceman

110
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.720
any good? Screen Rant seems to
say, Yeah. The New York Times

111
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.800
not so sure. Screen Rant reminds
us in twenty twenty when promoting Uncut Gems,

112
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.879
which as listeners know, is the
best Adam Sandlor film. And that's

113
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.680
not even me being sarcastic. That's
a solid movie in Sandler's best performance.

114
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.800
At that time, Sandler joked with
Howard Stern that if he were snubbed for

115
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.040
a Best Actor nomination at the Academy
Awards. He'd come back and do more

116
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:43.480
Netflix movies that were purposely bad.
Maybe he actually went through with that threat.

117
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.160
That explains all the stuff that's come
out. He's deliberately making horrible movies.

118
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.959
Now it makes sense. Screen Rent
writes, it's no secret that Sandler's

119
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:57.759
a very adepted comedy, and while
Spaceman is not meant to be a laugh

120
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.839
out loud rump, there's a subtle
comedy undertone, bolstered by the absurdity that

121
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.279
Sailor effectively plays into. There's a
lot for him to tackle, and much

122
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.600
of his performance feels unsupportive. The
narrative, ideas, and themes are obvious,

123
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.639
but there's a lack of consistency and
true depth. Spaceman's only draw is

124
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.680
Sandler. The movie remains a drift
for too long, showcasing its technical achievement

125
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.319
but neglecting to solidify what the film
is about. The characters despair, loneliness,

126
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.920
and existential crisis. The New York
Times buckle up the paper of record,

127
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.959
you know the thing people actually read. The New York Times wrote Spaceman

128
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.679
review, what happened here? Now
that's not me being sarcastic. That's the

129
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:41.039
Times. What happened here? Adam
Sailor and Carrie Mulligan's star in a baffling

130
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.840
Netflix misfire about a man in well
space reading from the Times. When was

131
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.519
the last time you looked at the
exquisite list of synonyms for the word baffled.

132
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.759
They may be among the best of
the English language puzzled, nonplussed,

133
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:01.480
discombobulated, flummixed, stumped, fogged, wildered, buffalo, the delicious,

134
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.960
delightful, full of consonants, evocative
of a very particular feeling. You're presented

135
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.799
with something that seems as though it
should be clear, but you can't make

136
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.720
it make sense. The occasion for
my bout of word nerdery is the Adam

137
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.799
Sandler movie Spaceman, and for that
I thank the film. It's not a

138
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.320
particularly confusing movie on its own in
port because we've seen its likes before.

139
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.639
Spaceman, alone in the inky blackness, goes little nuts and also gains clarity

140
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.679
on his life back on Earth.
What's flummoxing about Spaceman isn't what it is,

141
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.039
but why it is. I love
this. Some bad movies were never

142
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.200
going to be good. Other bad
movies never even tried. But Spaceman is

143
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.320
that exquisite, rare third thing.
An awful movie, a very bad movie,

144
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.840
indeed whose lousiness was almost certainly not
apparent while it was in production.

145
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.360
Perhaps this sounds fun bad to you. It's not fun bad. It's maudlin

146
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.039
bad, but labored bad and also
pretty boring bad. Can I jump in

147
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.799
here? Did we not know that
this movie with Adam Sandler talking to se

148
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.559
Alien that was really There's not no
way it was gonna be good? Rated

149
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.519
R for some scary space stuff,
language and a spoiler. Come on New

150
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:13.279
York Times. Running time one hour, forty seven minutes on your Netflix.

151
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.440
So after I watch that, I'm
gonna shake that off. On my quest

152
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.639
to find a comedy special, I
actually like David Cross. I'm counting on

153
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.759
you. He spoke to Consequence of
Sound about his new special, Worst Daddy

154
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.519
in the World. Like many specials, Worst Daddy in the World was edited

155
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.799
together from two different performances recorded on
the same night in Chicago. Consequence writes,

156
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.000
unlike most stand up specials, where
the editing ideally creates the illusion it's

157
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.639
one performance, there are multiple points
where the artifice is abandoned, which Cross

158
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.080
says was not a calculated approach.
He says that just appeals to me.

159
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.440
I don't like anything too slick.
This sticks out minor spoilers here, as

160
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.240
Cross invites slowing down in case you
don't want to David Cross. Spoiler as

161
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.399
Cross invites audience members up to the
stage to perform a scripted scene with them,

162
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.240
and the editing flows between the two
different versions. Cross says, if

163
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.840
nothing else, it shows you I
did this every night, every show,

164
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.240
so I like that, and it
allowed me, once I established it,

165
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.200
to take the more interesting takes from
each person. So you still doing the

166
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.320
script as is. But I also
definitely want to include the whole thing where

167
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.879
the guy didn't understand how to read
that one line. I thought it was

168
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.360
funny, so it's the best of
both worlds really. Cross says, bringing

169
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.919
audience members on stage is a fun, sketchy, theatrical kind of element.

170
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.440
You never know it's going to go. Some people had to stop and ask

171
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.200
them to leave because they were either
too drunk or two obnoxious, so they

172
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.120
were trying to punch it up.
Some people are too nervous, even though

173
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.679
they volunteered. Who was asked to
rate the two audience members featured in the

174
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.240
special. Cross said, I thought
the lady did a good job. I'd

175
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.159
give her a seven to seven.
I think the gentleman was a little less

176
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.279
in tune with it. I'd give
him a five eight. As I put

177
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.480
together the show, I was on
Twitter because that's what we call it,

178
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.159
and I saw Dan Soder tweeted on
the Road New special this Friday three to

179
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.960
one on my YouTube ten am eest. Please subscribe. Here's a clip.

180
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.440
In nineteen ninety seven, the United
States enacted the deadbeat Dad Law, which

181
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.559
meant if you didn't pay child support, you were going to going to jail.

182
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:09.120
My dad died in nineteen ninety seven. On that same Twitter search,

183
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.960
Joe List said, just release some
CrowdWork on YouTube. Here it is.

184
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.080
Oh, something else funny just happened. Oh, I wanted to make a

185
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.000
Matt's joke about people saying you gotta
have a kid. He had that joke

186
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.200
before I had a baby. I
wanted you because I didn't want you guys

187
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:30.240
to be like, oh, they
talk about Joe, babies bring no joy,

188
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.919
no fulfillment. Did you guys forget
though? It's like one minute ago?

189
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.320
Also out today, Angela Johnson Reyes
has a new comedy album called Technically

190
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.919
Not Stalking. That's via eight hundred
Pound Gorilla. Ashley Ray has a new

191
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.960
comedy album called ice Cream Money.
That's via Blonde Medicine. Adam Newman has

192
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.440
announced a fifth stand up comedy special
called Juwe Versus the Volcano that'll be on

193
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.399
YouTube March twenty second. This one
sounds interesting. It's structured loosely into three

194
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.159
acts where promised music, magic,
horses, butt stuff, and more.

195
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.000
The first act offers a classic stand
up check in about where he's at now

196
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.480
recently married, traveled, barreling out
of a pandemic. The second is the

197
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.840
age old tale about losing one's virginity, featuring an appearance by RIM's Mike Mills

198
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.759
and a visit to the emergency room. The third and final act brings us

199
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.200
to what Adam Newman has been planning
all along, coming out as a guitar

200
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.159
comedian, offering up catchy songs about
everyone's least favorite dictator and him. This

201
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.919
will be free on YouTube, also
available as a comedy album in both digital

202
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.200
and double vinyl formats. And let's
go to the political part of today's podcast,

203
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.600
where I'm gonna annoy everybody because we
don't all agree on anything. From

204
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:50.840
the Jerusalem Post, Michael Rapaport showed
up on an Israeli current events oriented comedy

205
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.600
show. He did a sketch about
how Hollywood stars are ignoring the plight of

206
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.279
the hostages held by Hamas playing himself
hosting the Oscars. He joked in the

207
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.840
opening sermon on monologue that the one
hundred and thirty four remaining hostages, as

208
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.639
something in common with the Tinseltown royalty
attending the show, neither had eaten in

209
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.360
four months. His joke next year, the hostage diet will be bigger than

210
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.480
ozempic another joke amas makes Harvey Weinstein
look like Peter Pan. He also made

211
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.480
fun of several Jewish actors for their
silence. He named the actors. I'm

212
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.519
not familiar what they did or not. My hesitation here is he called out

213
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.639
someone who I've already mentioned in this
podcast, but this article says that person

214
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.440
actually did sign a petition in support
of Israel, so I don't want to

215
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.600
be unfair to the people named there. You can find that in the Jerusalem

216
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.799
Post if you'd like more information.
The Daily Dot says, thanks to a

217
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.480
resurfaced screenshot Twitter, because that's what
we call it is having a field day

218
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.559
with the fact that Robert F.
Kennedy Junior once congratulated a gay comedian on

219
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.559
being ungayed. The comedian in question, Tim Dillon, who is gay,

220
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.440
posted a photo of himself and writer
Anikachayan on Instagram and Twitter and said the

221
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.919
pair had just gotten married. Dylan
joked homosexuality was a phase. Kennedy responded,

222
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.159
saying that Anna was a beautiful angel. Easy to see how she ungayed

223
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.799
you. It is unclear if rfk
Junior understood the joke. Former President Donald

224
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.360
Trump recently told a town hall that
now is not the time for him to

225
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.039
be a comedian. He told an
audience in South Carolina, I really don't

226
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.639
want to smile. I want to
smile when we complete the task and make

227
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.879
America great again. Fox News share
the clip. Laura Ingram said, you're

228
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.919
extremely funny. I mean, you
have a fantastic sense of humor. And

229
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.480
I was curious, is Trump a
good comedian? So I asked the chatbot

230
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.879
to write a Trump joke, and
I thought it did a good job.

231
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:37.919
I'd like to hear Don say this
one. I don't have a Trump impression

232
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.200
for you. I don't even have
a half assed Trump impression for you,

233
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.879
but the joke would go like this. You ever notice how airline food is

234
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.600
like a box of chocolates. You
never know what you're gonna get, but

235
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.799
it's always disappointing. I mean,
seriously, if I wanted something frozen and

236
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.240
tasteless, I've gone to a rally
in Iowa. Sorry, Iowa. That's
