00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.440
Caalaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:12.919
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news, daily briefing

3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.280
on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry. Well,

4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.559
here you see, Bolts said, We've got a bit of

5
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.760
a rough one. I'm coming up. I want to talk

6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.839
about the killing of Alex Pretty in Minnesota, and as

7
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.719
with all news stories, I'll apply it through a comedy lens.

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.399
I'm recording this slightly before noon on Monday. Not really

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.439
seeing a lot of comedian reactions yet. I'm sure we'll

10
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.159
see some in late night on Monday night, but we

11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.079
did see Saturday Night Lives pretty much lack of reaction.

12
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:46.280
The cold open was James Austin Johnson's increasingly drifting President Trump.

13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.960
They need to just stop with it. It's not working. I'm

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.280
seeing a lot of backlash on social that people are

15
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.479
just like, can you stop with the James Austin Johnson Trump.

16
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.359
It was the Trump Awards, and during the monologue, James

17
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:01.880
Austin Johnson as Trump slightly dressed this situation with ice

18
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.439
and no pay really close attention to this clip. This

19
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.200
is unedited, obviously, other than the heads and tails that

20
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.879
I clipped, but listen to the absolute silence this joke

21
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.680
gets like, this was noticeably silent. Listen to this carefully,

22
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:19.120
I thought, I.

23
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.680
Need more awards, and after where all my little freaks

24
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.560
and psychos and Ice have been doing, I need more distractions. Look,

25
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.359
everything's gold and shiny, and what a crown we have tonight?

26
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.079
I mean, wow, not even a laugh The reaction, and

27
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.840
I agree, is that SNL missed the mark. On Saturday Night,

28
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.239
Michael Jay got in one joke obviously told better by Chay,

29
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.719
But that joke. I get that ICE agents or people allegedly,

30
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:45.480
and I have a job to do, But at some point,

31
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.719
when you're Pepper spraying old ladies and shooting at a nurse,

32
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.760
do you ever stop and ask yourself? Are we dis

33
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.400
which okay, but again kind of missed the top story.

34
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.760
I did do a sweet to see if any comedians

35
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.959
were really tweeting about it. I did see something from

36
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.840
Patton Oswalt and something from Bo Johnson. Let me just

37
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.879
jump in here. If today's the first day you're hearing

38
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.120
this program, it's usually not this serious. Patton Oswald on

39
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:11.039
threads discussing the killing of Alex Pretty. Patton had posted

40
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.000
he was protecting a woman they shoved to the ground.

41
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.960
They pepper sprayed him, beat him, removed his legally permitted

42
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.919
gun all caps from its holster, and then a nervous

43
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.639
ice goon fumble fired a shot into his back, and

44
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.960
the rest of them panicked and also started shooting. Then

45
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.080
they all scurried away, one of them clapping and bouncing

46
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.080
up and down, all on video multiple angles. Bo Johnson

47
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.319
posted generally input politics into my jokes on here threads,

48
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.520
but there isn't much I feel like joking about tie.

49
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.000
The evil being committed by ice. Tearing families apart is evil.

50
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.400
Murdering two innocent people is evil. If you like my

51
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.439
comedy and your reality is dissorted, there is time for

52
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.360
deep introspection. Well more likely if you're just finding out

53
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.080
a hate government sanctioned murder and don't like that. I

54
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.039
hope the venue doesn't give you a refund of my show,

55
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.879
and you know I'll be paying my bills with your money.

56
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.800
The podcasters had not weighed in yet as of Monday,

57
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.280
but as I was putting together the show, I did

58
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:01.960
find a few things, and I want to be fair

59
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.759
that And I can't believe I'm saying this sentence out loud.

60
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.199
These are comments after the first Ice shooting, that the

61
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.319
shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Earlier this month, Andrew Schultz

62
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.599
addressed that shooting on the Flagrant podcast. The article I'm

63
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.680
cribbing from is from the twenty third. Alex Pretty was

64
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.560
killed on the twenty fourth, So again, I just want

65
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.120
to put the timeline here, and again, this is a

66
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.080
comedy show, Schultz said. I think because we don't see

67
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:27.919
it in New York like we're somewhat detached from it.

68
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.000
New Yorkers will not be going with this stuff at all.

69
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:31.800
One of the co hosts said, oh it did it

70
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.039
happened on Canal. Schultz said, I assume this is a joke. No, no, no,

71
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.759
on canal because on Canal we got to clean some

72
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.759
stuff up as part of my research for today's episode.

73
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.560
An article from June twenty third, twenty twenty five from

74
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.800
the New York Times. The New York Times actually posted

75
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.560
an article titled Andrew Schultz podcast bro might be America's

76
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.439
foremost political journalist. Boy that aged well. That article, just

77
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.800
to be clear, not by friend of the show, Jason Zennemann,

78
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.240
New York Times. Yikes. Dudes, Tim Dillon on episode four

79
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.080
seventy eight, which came out two weeks ago, addressed Ice.

80
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.919
Tim on that episode, and again everything Tim says is

81
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.400
half sarcastic. But Tim said, these are not well trained

82
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.199
law enforcement people in Ice right now. We're talking people

83
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.240
that did backyard wrestling. The people that are in Ice

84
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.759
right now. I mean, this is like your cousin who

85
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.399
was in backyard wrestling. This is not the cream of

86
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.079
the crop. You know, the guys that kidnapped Maduro, the

87
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.279
Delta Force Navy Seals. This is not them. This is

88
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.480
not the Delta Force Navy Seal people. This is people

89
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.600
on their third grade report card the teacher wrote has

90
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.560
violent tendencies. It just is what it is. Tim did

91
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.199
release an episode over the weekend. I listened to it

92
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.720
Sunday morning. I don't believe he addressed the shooting at all,

93
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.519
and I believe I have no facts of this, but

94
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.399
I believe he had recorded it before any of this

95
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.480
went down. Just as someone who listens to Tim every week,

96
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.680
I can't imagine that he didn't lead off with it.

97
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.439
Episode four p eighty was titled Jared Kushner Trump's Obsession

98
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.439
and Healing through Hate. The description on an Apple podcast,

99
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.519
as Tim discusses the recent Beckham family drama and the

100
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.720
no contact phenomenon, trump Sport of Peace, Jared Kushner's creepy

101
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.839
PowerPoint presentation on the New Gaza, how the world heals

102
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.199
through hate, and a food delivery robot that was run

103
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.439
over by train in Florida. So again I have to

104
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.000
assume team tape that maybe Friday Night from Media Height,

105
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.079
Media eight took a look at Joe Rogan's podcast, which

106
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.279
came out on Thursday, again before the killing of Alex

107
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.079
Pride in Minnesota. Trying to be fair here with the

108
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:27.120
timeline to these comedians. Rogan's guest comedian Asan Ahmad. Rogan

109
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.199
was discussing the shooting and killing of Renee Good. Rogan said,

110
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.839
imagine one of these people, like do they're asking me

111
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.560
to come like this awesome? Now I'm in America, I'm

112
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.000
gonna get a good job, I'm going to be able

113
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.360
to support my family, and then all of a sudden,

114
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.360
you have these effing dudes in bulletproof vests looking for

115
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.000
you on the streets. Like I thought you said it

116
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.759
was okay. I thought the Red Cross gave me a map.

117
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:43.920
I was like, you gave me the fing cell phone

118
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:45.759
and now you're hunting me. But now imagine the ICE

119
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.319
agent's okay. Rogan said it was like a recent clip

120
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.600
of mine that got highlighted when his criticizing Ice. One

121
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.240
of the things you don't think about when you're into

122
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.079
this is just like regular police interactions. The one that

123
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:56.959
you see online are the horrible ones. You think all

124
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.160
cops are horrible. What you miss is the millions of

125
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.759
interactions of people with cops like you doing today. Sir,

126
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.480
can I see paperwork? Sure? Here it is? You in

127
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.360
a hurry, I'm late for work. You know, all right?

128
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.399
Man to slow down. Rogan said that happens too. Like

129
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.000
there's nice interactions with cops. There are people that save

130
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.959
people from bad guys. It happens all the time. There's

131
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.839
people that are thankful that they call the police and

132
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.920
they stopped the burglar who was breaking into their fings

133
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.040
mom's house or whatever it is. There's so many more

134
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.639
of those. But you're not seeing those videos with the

135
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.319
Ice thing. What you're only seeing and what you're hearing

136
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.519
about American citizens that have been arrested, the lady that

137
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.319
got shot. You're seeing all these negatives. What you're not

138
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.519
hearing about is a number of violent criminals that they've caught,

139
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.120
and it's a lot. It's in the thousands. On a

140
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.839
previous episode with Rand Paul, Joe Rogan said, you don't

141
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.560
want militarized people in the streets just roaming around snatching

142
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.319
up people, many of which turn out to be US

143
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.759
citizens that just don't have their papers on them. We're

144
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.759
really going to be the Gestapo. Where's your papers? Is

145
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.319
that what we've come to. Whitney Cummings was hitting my

146
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.560
social media feed a lot over the weekend. People are

147
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.759
upset with Whitney, who made some comments about Miss Rachel.

148
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.560
Miss Rachel, who creates educational videos for toddlers and infants,

149
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.120
had apologized for liking an anti Semitic Instagram comment last week.

150
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.800
Screenshots had circulated online showing Miss Rachel's Instagram account liking

151
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.879
a comment that read free America from the Jews. The

152
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.360
comment appeared under a now deleted post that read free Palestine,

153
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.600
Free Sidan, free Congo, free Iran. Miss Rachel posted a

154
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.160
screenshot of a follower alerting her that yo he had

155
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.319
liked an anti Semitic comment. Miss Rachel replied, deleted, how

156
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.240
horrible oh wait, let me check I did delete one

157
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.079
like that. Yeah, I believe I deleted that earlier when

158
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.680
I saw it. I hate anti Semitism. She said she

159
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.680
had meant to delete the comment, but instead tap the

160
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.000
light button and explain people are allowed to make mistakes.

161
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.879
I'm super sorry for any confusing it caused. I delete

162
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.720
anti semitism anytime I see it. I'm against all forms

163
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.480
of hate, including anti Semitism against the Jewish people. Back

164
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.800
to Whitney Cummings, Whitney had posted miss Rachel was always

165
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.560
off base, dude, Why does she talk to kids like

166
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.279
their deaf morons? And if you need to dress like

167
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.879
a toddler to trick them into liking you, that's information

168
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.319
to give a mental health professional. I believe Whitney eventually

169
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.120
deleted that comment as she got dragged in the comments

170
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.160
reading directly from Whitney cummings threads account. I did not

171
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.079
know Miss Rachel was specifically for neuro divergent children. Some

172
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.519
people say it's actually not slash. People are even fighting

173
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.000
about that. The show overwhelms my child maybe when he's older.

174
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.079
A lot of adults talk super intensely to kids and

175
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.560
it stresses them out. I thought it was just that

176
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.680
intense baby talk thing. I know how important a kid's

177
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.079
hero is to a parent, and I'm a new mom

178
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.000
and should have been more careful. Whitney, in a separate

179
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:23.879
thread at Post wrote, I'm new to being a mom

180
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.000
and a comedian. I'll probably make more mistakes. I'm not

181
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.720
surprised when Reddit bros attack me anymore. But the mom's

182
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.319
face is a curveball. I'll be more careful and get

183
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.639
thicker skin because i know how exhausted moms are and

184
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.120
how precious your kid's heroes are. If someone made fun

185
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.919
of Thomas the Train, I'm sure i'd be protective. Maybe

186
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:40.600
when he's older, Miss Rachel will be our thing, but

187
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.320
right now it's overwhelming thanks to those who aren't looking

188
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.039
to intentionally understand. Someone gave Whitney a hard time about

189
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.960
deleting her comment. Whitney wrote, not sure why it's dirty

190
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.080
to delete it again. If this is your first time listening,

191
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.720
the show's not normally this series, regular listeners will notice

192
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.320
I'm not even using my regular delivery today. Stephen Colbert

193
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.879
is scheduled to You're on seth Myers tonight. I'm sure

194
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.480
they'll find something to talk about During Thursday Nights Jimmy

195
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.519
Kimmel monologue, someone yelled out Jimmy for President. Jimmy Kimmel

196
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.679
crossed himself and said, let's pray we can do better

197
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.919
than that. Netflix has released the first images from the

198
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.879
Fifth Wheel. This is a female Deriven comedy directed by

199
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:24.480
Eva Longoria. It stars Kim Kardashian and Nicki Glazer. I'm

200
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.480
wondering if this is going to be Nicki Glazer's flew

201
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.639
too close to the Sun moment, like if I just

202
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.120
tell you off the bat. It stars Kim Kardashian and

203
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.679
Nicki Glazer. Do you think that's gonna be good? Are

204
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.440
you thinking, like, oh, Netflix, Yeah, no, right, I know

205
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.320
you got a floor while it's hot, but I'm not

206
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.559
sure this is the right move for Nicki Glazer. The

207
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.279
Fifth Wheel follows a group of high school best friends

208
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.559
as they attempt to reconnect during a weekend haunt to

209
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.240
Las Vegas. But when a hot outsider, the Fifth Wheel

210
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.600
played by Kim Kardashian, crashes their weekend, they're forced to

211
00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:00.039
face their messy lives, bad decisions, and unraveling friendships. I

212
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.279
know about that. Are you excited for the Super Bowl

213
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.039
I'm really not. I really like football, but just this matchup,

214
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.679
I'm like, you know, Okay, I mean it's a super Bowl.

215
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.120
I'll make some wings and I'll watch it, but I'm

216
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.879
not like, yeah, I can't wait for the super Bowl.

217
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.279
One of the events a Super Bowl Weekend Dave Chappelle

218
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.840
headlining and already sold out show at the Chase Center.

219
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.960
Circling back to SNL, Colin Jost will return to host

220
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.840
the second season of Pop Culture Jeopardy. The show has

221
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.360
moved from Amazon to Netflix, Colin Jost staying on board.

222
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.519
Interesting note from Late Night about SNL. The other night,

223
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.200
Marcelo Hernandez appeared on Weekend Update. He had some commentary

224
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.159
about the evolution of Generation Z slang in the aired version.

225
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.120
Marcelo explained, basically, black people start saying something, young people

226
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.799
think it's cool, so they start saying it. Then white

227
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.360
people say it. Then once Elon Musk says it, it's over.

228
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.440
According to people in dress rehearsal, the tag was not

229
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.759
Elon Musk. The tag was once Jimmy Fallon says it

230
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.799
it's over. That got laughs on the room. It's unclear

231
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.120
why that was changed before air. Voting is now open

232
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.639
for Comedy Survivor Week four. What you do is you

233
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.759
go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group.

234
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.840
You will find a cartoon of me extinguishing the torch

235
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.720
of Joe Coy In there host a name of who

236
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.919
you want voted off this week Comedy Survivor Daily Comedy

237
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:14.919
News Podcast Group. A couple of people hit me on

238
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.679
the side saying the mel Brooks documentary is really good.

239
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.600
I started to watch it Friday night, and part of

240
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.519
it I was like four hours. Sometimes I just don't

241
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:25.879
like homework. You know what I did most of the

242
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:29.240
weekend when I wasn't watching football. James Bond movies on Netflix,

243
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.519
and again I have most of them on either DVD

244
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:33.759
or digital, but I'd have to go all the way

245
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.159
upstairs to where the Scrubs DVDs live that get us

246
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.799
through fascism. So next to the Scrubs DVDs are the

247
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.960
James Bond DVDs, but again you have to go up

248
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.440
and get them. There's just something really nice about hitting

249
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.480
play and they're right there on Netflix, and they've been

250
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.759
on very streaming services. There's just something about them being

251
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.440
on Netflix, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna watch these.

252
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.080
So I'm all the way through Goldfinger now, so that's

253
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.080
the first three. But anyway, the mel Brooks documentary people

254
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.240
are saying it's really really good, but I didn't want

255
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.759
to commit to four hours of homework. And when they

256
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.919
were showing the talking heads that were gonna appear, they

257
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.960
showed Amy Schumer and it was like Amy Schumer and

258
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.759
it just didn't interest me. I say, I don't want

259
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.279
to hear Amy Schumer talking about Molbrooks at all. But

260
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.279
maybe I'll circle back to that when I get some time.

261
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.879
I got like twenty three more James Bond movies to watch.

262
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.480
You know what I do with the Bond movies. I

263
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.120
treat them like TV shows. I hit play because I've

264
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.080
seen them all and I can probably recite half of them.

265
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.159
I hit play, and when I don't feel like watching

266
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.360
it anymore, I just hit stop, so I don't go like, Okay,

267
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.240
I'm watching two hours and ten minutes of James Bond

268
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:28.879
nowt I just watched James Bond till I've had my

269
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.919
Phillip James Bond. And then I hit stop and I

270
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.919
go back in and if the movie ends, I just

271
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:34.759
start the next one and do the thing with m

272
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.480
and que and moneypenny and get as foreard into the

273
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.399
movies I feel like watching and then I stop and

274
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.159
it just it takes all the burden neet of oh

275
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.679
I got to sit here and watch an entire movie

276
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.360
now because I have TV. Add if you would like

drive that, or you're just like, all right, no commercials

for thirty days that I'm not giving John five bucks,

289
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.679
so that's cool. I understand I'm cheap, but why not

290
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.679
do the thirty day free triut Now, if you were

291
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.679
to do that and get all the other shows, and

292
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.639
you were like, oh, I'll check out this palace intrigue

293
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.320
about the Royal family. You know, what do they talk

294
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.879
about there? You would get stories like this. A viral

295
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:32.720
TikTok rumor claiming that Megan Markle reacted awkwardly to an

296
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:37.240
introduction by Jimmy Kimmel is drawing attention online. However, there's

297
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.240
no evidence that it even happened. Oh, I love a

298
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.200
good Megan Markle story. Somebody posted on TikTok alleging that

299
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.159
Megan was on Kimmel and bristled at what she felt

300
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.039
was an underwhelming introduction by Jimmy Kimmel. The moment is

301
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.039
described as tense, with nervous laughter from the audience. However,

302
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.679
there's no video from the broadcast, no transcript, no recording

303
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.600
to support the claim. There's no public ren if Megan

304
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.639
Markle ever appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I've been writing

305
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:08.159
the Royals podcast for several years, including before they moved

306
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.399
to California, and believe me, if she were on Kimmel,

307
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.240
I would have covered it. Episode listings, promotional schedules, archived

308
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.039
interviews do not show a segment with Jimmy Kimmel on

309
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.320
Megan Markle, so it seems like it might be a hoax.

310
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.840
On Netflix Today, Mike Apps his new special Delusional. It's

311
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.879
his fifth foreign Netflix. In it, he discusses how a

312
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.080
little delusion and a lot of hustle has made him

313
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.799
a star. And that is your comedy news for Today

314
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.960
again if you're a new listener, I promise tomorrow would

315
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.639
be more. Actually I don't know because Late night's going

316
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.919
to weigh on on this Minnesota thing, so maybe not.

317
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.720
But welcome aboard, see all tomorrow.
