00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.439
Hey guys, it's John So let me do you straight here.

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:04.559
I teach a class on Thursday morning. I'm out the

3
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:07.519
door at six thirty in the morning, so I obviously

4
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:11.640
already recorded Thursday's episode. Now. Last night, around seven pm Eastern,

5
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.359
the Jimmy Kimmel story broke. In case you missed it,

6
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.000
the episode before this one in the feed is a

7
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.719
bonus episode of me reacting to the Kimmel news in

8
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.239
the episode you're about to hear now, no Kimmel at all,

9
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.679
I don't think, but definitely nothing about this story as

10
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.079
it was already recorded, and candidly, I had already recorded

11
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.320
Friday as well because Thursday is teaching day. But I

12
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.799
will come back this afternoon Thursday afternoon with a bonus

13
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.320
episode and catch up on the Kimmel News. But in

14
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:50.799
the meantime, here's this Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm

15
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.560
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I'll see if

16
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.840
my voice holds out. I just recorded over an hour

17
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.840
of the other show. I host Five Good News Stories,

18
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.359
and this weekend we start five Good News Christmas Stories.

19
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.040
I know it's September, but five Good News Christmas Stories

20
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.239
does really well, so if you're not hip to that,

21
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.760
I host to show five good news stories. It's five stories,

22
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.719
all of them. Good news comes out four times a week,

23
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.319
and as we're closer to Christmas, more and more Christmas

24
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.239
stories if you want to check that out. It is

25
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.799
a very busy week for comedy. So I had mixed

26
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.079
emotions when Vulture released their twenty twenty five list of

27
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.319
comedians you should and will know. This is a very

28
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.640
important list, and candidly I get a lot of content

29
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.719
from it, but I don't need the content this week.

30
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.400
So I'm just going to tell you that this exists

31
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.400
and start to talk about it, and I'll dive in

32
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.920
as the days go on. Vulture writes this year's list

33
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.159
features comedians who approach their craft from a wide variety

34
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.480
of perspectives, Originally hailing from places as disparate as Lebanon

35
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:50.560
and Estonia to various US cities. They specialize in musical comedy, clowning,

36
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.840
which is very underrated and I'm not being sarcastic there,

37
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.280
pitch perfect parodies of nuances of TikTok, and interrogating politicians.

38
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.159
Vulture explains to make the list, they reached out to

39
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.439
over two hundred of the top taste makers and gatekeepers

40
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.439
in the country, including comedy club bookers, production company executives,

41
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.800
major network talent scouts, streaming service curators, comedy record label owners,

42
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.719
and they asked them what comedians make them excited about

43
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.560
going to work each morning. This is always a great list.

44
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.560
It's always on point, and I'm recording a podcast in

45
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.439
the basement. But you know, I did spend a decade

46
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.879
plus as serious. I never ran into anyone who was

47
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:31.439
part of this list, so I don't know who the

48
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.840
two hundred taste makers are. That's not a shot at Vulture.

49
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.960
I'm just like, I've never met anyone who's been part

50
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.840
of this list, just mathematically I should have. And again,

51
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:43.960
that's not a digd Vulture because the list is really good.

52
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.520
This year's comedians are Natalie Alcar, Tessa Bell, Comedian CP,

53
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:56.199
Rachel Coster, Esther Fhallck, Jimmy Falley, and Kira O'Sullivan as One, comedian,

54
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:01.639
Adam Friedland, Adam Gilbert, Zanab Johnson, ray lao, Ismail Lufti,

55
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.759
Juliette Massley, Taylor Ortega, Eric Rayhill, and Meets a Raw,

56
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:13.120
Paris Sasche, Saheb Singh, Derek Stroup, Joe Sunday, and Jacob Boisak.

57
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.719
Now what's interesting is some of these folks have been

58
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.800
around for a while. When I saw the list, it

59
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.879
was like, oh, I will spotlight this on the show

60
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.039
I host on the Live One app, which is called

61
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.560
the Weekly Comedy Thing, And the app is Live one.

62
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.240
The app is free, the show is free. It's like this,

63
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.039
except I can actually play clips from comedians because of

64
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.120
you know, how royalties work. I can't really do that

65
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.120
on the podcast. But like somebody like Paris Sachet has

66
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.400
been around for ten years. She's got an album in

67
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.400
the system for twenty sixteen. But most of these people

68
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.199
did not have anything released on digital that was available

69
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.479
for play. I just found that curious. So they're really

70
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.479
new faces, which is great and a great job out

71
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.919
of Vulture there. Variety had done that big piece with

72
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.639
Andrew Santino, a lot of interesting stuff in there, and

73
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.240
just you know, with the Emmys and everything, there was

74
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:58.879
other stuff to talk about it for a couple of days,

75
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.240
but we learn learned that the sitcom Dave, which started

76
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.719
Little Dicky, is not coming back. Santino said, that's not

77
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.800
on pause. That thing is gone. I don't even know

78
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.599
why the narrative is out there. It's not true. We're

79
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.120
not doing the show. I think people said it was

80
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.000
on pause to protect the relationship of the show. Well

81
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.879
that's all nonsense. The show's done. We're all going on

82
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.199
our own way and doing our own thing. It was

83
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:20.879
a great run and we all enjoyed it very much.

84
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.800
It ran its beautiful little course and that was a

85
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.800
wonderful moment in time. I'm happy I was part of it.

86
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.000
But no, world, do I think the show would ever

87
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.639
come back. Sounds a little feisty there. I wonder what's

88
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.519
going on behind the scenes. So he was asked, was

89
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.800
it FX's decision to end it? Now, listen to this answer.

90
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.439
I was a hired gun that was between Dave Birrd

91
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.519
Jeff Schaffer in FX. I had no power over what

92
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.240
was happening. I kind of found out when everybody else

93
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.920
went out that it wasn't coming back. But people saying,

94
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.160
perhaps will pause it and come back. I know better.

95
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.240
Dad left to get cigarettes. He's not coming home. Sounds

96
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.519
like it sounds like there was strife or he's annoyed

97
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.319
or something sideways there, right, GQ did that profile at

98
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.160
Stavros Halkias, where the whole thing was about like being

99
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.600
manly man and man and man stuff and man and

100
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.240
being a man and be a man and manly. Such

101
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.360
a q aske Stavros, What are the most important things

102
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.639
we need to teach young men in these formative years?

103
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.680
Stavros said, I guess the lessons are twofold. First of all,

104
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.480
you're not a piece of crap for laughing at messed

105
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.519
up stuff. I quite cleaned that sentence up. Those things

106
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.560
are funny. We're not going to pretend they're not funny,

107
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.680
but understand they're just jokes and it shouldn't be the

108
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.639
way you treat other people in society. And then become

109
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.399
the best version of yourself. For me, that's really the

110
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.240
biggest lesson, right. It sounds so boring to say, be yourself,

111
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.680
but guess what. Some of you aren't gonna get jacked,

112
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.800
some of you aren't gonna be crypto billionaires. They dropped

113
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.120
a couple f's in that sentence. The way out of

114
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.879
being an incel is understanding you can be a loser.

115
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.879
You don't have to be the exact ideal, be the

116
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.720
ideal version of you, even at your worst there's more

117
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.800
people in the world that would want to have sex

118
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.120
with you than you'll ever be able to have sex with.

119
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.680
I'm quite cleaning this up. Truly, they're out there, you

120
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.439
just have to find them. The quickest way out of

121
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.279
being an inceel being a nice, good hang that cares

122
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.439
about other people, is empathetic. I promise you in the

123
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.639
long run, you'll have better results that way, by being

124
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.720
yourself and being nice and putting yourself out there. That's

125
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.120
pretty good advice. He goes on to say the time

126
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.279
I had the most successful with women, I was five seven,

127
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.920
three hundred and fifty pounds. You know what I mean.

128
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.160
I was in horrible shape, but I did believe in myself,

129
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.079
and now I'm trying to get that together. It's about

130
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.040
constant growth and it's about always improving yourself. But that's

131
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:16.839
the way out of being an incel. You do have

132
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.160
to hold yourself accountable, but don't blame other people. Don't

133
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:20.800
complain if you're not trying to find a solution. I

134
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.040
think that's literally an Ornold Schwarzenegger thing. I think that's

135
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.480
the lesson I would give to them, because if I

136
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:26.800
can do it, brother, you can do it too. I

137
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.439
was twenty two, I'd hooked up with one girl as fat, bald, broke,

138
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:30.839
living at all with my parents, and I turned it

139
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.600
all around. You can turn it around too. Giqi was

140
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.759
curious they couldn't just let this go? Who tell you that?

141
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.639
Who tell you how to be a man? Starfro said,

142
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.600
I said it, but bleeping Arnold Schwarzenegger. Action movies, sports movies.

143
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.319
You know what I mean? As corney as it sounds,

144
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.000
sports are big for me, Rocky the Underdog Story. Obviously

145
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.120
my father had male role models or whatever. But I

146
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.480
think sometimes their dads can give these incomplete versions of

147
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.160
what it means to be a guy, and maybe sometimes

148
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.360
you can learn off their mistakes a lot lot more there.

149
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.079
All right, we gotta talk about the Emmys a little

150
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.959
bit more. Remember the other night, Hannah Einbinder said, f

151
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.079
ice and free Palestine. Well. On Twitter, Ricky Gervase posted

152
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.079
a throwback to his Golden Globes monologue back in twenty twenty.

153
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.240
He made some comments. Jervase had said back then, if

154
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:15.839
you do win an award tonight, don't use it as

155
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.040
a political platform to make a political speech. You're in

156
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:19.759
no position to lecture of the public about anything. You

157
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.560
know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent

158
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.040
less time in school than Greta Tunberg. Well, Ricky has

159
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.439
removed that from his Twitter account. Critics claimed he had

160
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.480
rethought his intervention in the context of the War of Gaza.

161
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:36.199
Jervase also unshared a post that directly commented on Einbinder's remarks.

162
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.399
So what happened was during a backstage Emmy's press conference.

163
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.560
Einbinder said she had an obligation as a Jewish person

164
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.000
to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Responding to

165
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.360
a video of the comments posted by Variety, one Twitter

166
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.399
user cited another quote from Ricky Gervais's monologue, in which

167
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.399
Jervase had said it back in twenty twenty, if Isis

168
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.000
started a streaming service, you'd call your agent, wouldn't you.

169
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.680
Gervais retweeted the comment, but on Tuesday remove the tweet.

170
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.519
He has, however, shared old bost about his Globes monologue,

171
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.439
including a video clip posted in August that contains the

172
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.439
don't use it as a political platform to make a

173
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.120
political speech rant. We'll see if Ricky comments some more

174
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.240
about what is in the spirit of his social media actions.

175
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.480
This week, Vulture wrote about Nate Brighetzi and said, reference

176
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.959
award show host is not a natural position for a

177
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.720
comic with Nates everyman persona. He's the type of comic

178
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.279
who jokes about loving McDonald's and Walmart, and his down

179
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.919
earth affect clashes with the unrelatability and self indulgence of

180
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.159
an award show. Even if he were to uncritically lord

181
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.480
over the proceedings, he's incapable of communicating a genuine belief

182
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.279
that award recipients are deserving of all this pomp and circumstance.

183
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.679
Another comedian Burghatzy's position might embrace this that use their

184
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.519
outsider status to their advantage to deliver monologue jokes that

185
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.919
poke at the ceremonies artifice, or make political jokes that

186
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.919
can textualize its insular nature. But these also aren't Burghetzi

187
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.000
strengths in his stand up the closest he gets to

188
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.360
compativeness on stage by recounting confusing interactions he's had with

189
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.279
his wife for customer service people he doesn't even curse.

190
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.840
He avoids talking politics unless it's a joke about how

191
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.720
little he understands it, and his jokes rarely take the

192
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.440
form of traditional setup punchline one liners, so where his

193
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.120
opening sketch might have traditionally given way to stand up

194
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.519
monologue burgets, he opted to forgo it and cut straight

195
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.279
to his logistical duties as master of Ceremonies. He devised

196
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.080
a plan to keep the show running on time. We've

197
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.080
discussed that, Vultre says. Every time the show cut back

198
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.840
to Nata's host, he made a point to crack a

199
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.919
joka too about the current donation total, which quickly grew

200
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.759
one note. Even the jokes forgets he made to introduce presenters,

201
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.639
some of which were well crafted, like when he put

202
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.080
on a denim tuxedo and pretended to forget why then

203
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.600
introduced Sidney Sweeney, failed to land because the donation total

204
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.840
bit sucked up so much airtime I was watching. I

205
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.279
noted that he was wearing a denim tuxedo, I heard

206
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.879
him talk about it, and then I didn't even make

207
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.159
the connection to the Sydney Sweeney thing. I don't think

208
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.039
he nailed that at all. I mean, seems like a

209
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.279
nice guy, but not a good job as Emmy's host. Sorry.

210
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.879
John Oliver was the guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live. They

211
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.759
were both happy that Stephen Colbert won. Oliver told Kimmel,

212
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.480
it was great. We're all very happy. You know. We

213
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.639
wanted him to win. The right thing to happen was

214
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.840
for him to win. But the funniest thing to happen

215
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.879
would have been if you, Jimmy Kimmel had won. Kimmel

216
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.600
laughed and said right. Oliver continued, most of me wanted

217
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.200
him to win. A part of me, the part of

218
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.159
me that I like more, just wanted to see your

219
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.639
face go oh no. Kimmel revealed there was a moment

220
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.000
when he thought that it was possible. He said one

221
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.320
of the drivers for one of the writers wasn't watching

222
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.360
the show and went on Chat GPT or something and

223
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.639
said who won the talk show Emmy, And for whatever reason,

224
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.279
Chat said we won, and they texted it to us

225
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.360
and I'm like, this is not right obviously, and then

226
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.960
I was like, oh no, do they know something? And

227
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.159
I was like, oh, shoot, if we win, this is

228
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.600
a disaster. Oliver found that funny going. You would have

229
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.720
been so bleaped. He had his whole staff there with him.

230
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.080
You would have been booed onto the stage, maybe stoned.

231
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.399
Why do you have to ruin everything. The first ever

232
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.559
cut away and the winner is Jimmy Kimmel. No Oh,

233
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:08.240
that's funny. Gossip Conna, Spoons in the street, Gossip Conna, Bobby, Bobby,

234
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:14.919
Gossip Conna where them is meeting with Johnny Mac. It's

235
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:20.720
ay's a tree. Let's enjoy Gossip Corner and the fun song.

236
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.360
Because the podcast after these next two stories is going

237
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.240
to get a little serious, so we'll start with Nick Kroll.

238
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.320
He's on Instagram. He's out for Vietnamese food in Vancouver.

239
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:34.399
He's a lunch lady, and he shared a photo. He wrote,

240
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:35.919
such a fun night and a great show at the

241
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.600
Outdoor Comedy Festival in Vancouver. Jason and Zach were in

242
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.879
town for a Greek festival, so I was glad I

243
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.440
was able to meet up with them. He posted a picture.

244
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:50.879
It's Nick Kroll, Zach Alfanakis, Mike Probiglia, John Mulaney, Fred Ormison,

245
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:55.759
and Jason Minzukis. Yes, the restaurant starves up Vietnamese street food,

246
00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:00.440
inspired by the late famed lunch Lady of Saigon. Meanwhile,

247
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.559
the quarterback of the Vanderbilt Commodores apparently has promised theovonn

248
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.679
that THEO could date his mother. Yes, Theovonn has revealed

249
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.799
that Diego Pavia has promised him a date with his mom.

250
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.080
If Vanderbilt beat South Carolina. Theovonn said, yeah, it's true.

251
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.759
She's a nurse, and my goal is that I'd like

252
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.799
to marry a nurse one day. So that's why he

253
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:23.759
was thinking about it. I'd like to be his friend,

254
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:25.600
not end up being like a stepdad, you know. So

255
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:31.039
we'll see what happens. Well. Vanderbilt thirty one, South Carolina seven.

256
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.320
All right, we're on to the increasingly serious stuff. We'll

257
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.840
start with this weird one. I saw this on Yahoo.

258
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.720
They're answering the question did Adam Sandler share final text

259
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.960
messages from Charlie Kirk. The short answer is no. This

260
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.840
is a total Internet hoax. But as the hoax goes,

261
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.240
people were circulating a post on social media saying Adam

262
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.679
Sandler got the final text from Charlie Kirk. The not

263
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.759
at all true Texas part of the hoax would have said,

264
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.480
they're watching me. If I fall, don't let my voice die.

265
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.399
Why he would send that to Adam Sandler is unclear.

266
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:08.200
As part of the hoax, other clickbait articles show the

267
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.080
same thing, but instead of Adam Sandler will sub in

268
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.480
people like Chiefs Kicker, Harrison Bucker, Bruce Springsteen, Kelly Clarkson

269
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:23.799
and Alice Cooper. People are strange, increasingly serious. British comedian

270
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:27.360
Gina Yasher has sparked outrage after posting a rant about

271
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:31.039
the assassination of Charlie Kirk, apparently on Instagram. She wrote

272
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.639
that Charlie Kirk was xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, racist, misogynists and sexist.

273
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.759
That hate directly affected people. That is in political difference.

274
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:41.639
If you're preaching something that is directly going to get

275
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.039
me eradicated on the streets, that is in political difference.

276
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:48.039
As far as I'm concerned, that's terrorism. Gina added, Charlie

277
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.480
Kirk got what Charlie Kirk advocated for. He wanted more

278
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.120
guns on the streets. He didn't mind a few kids

279
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.279
being shot to death in their classrooms or the odd

280
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.960
democrat being murdered in their home. I don't believe in

281
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.320
heaven and hell, but just in case there is, Charlie

282
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.559
Kirk is going down there, and if he does, I

283
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.279
hope he gets dropped off by a black pilot. I

284
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.759
think at this point, it might be helpful that you

285
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.799
observe that Gina is black in case you're not familiar

286
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.000
with her. I'll also add my point of view, which

287
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.159
is no one should be murdered. Jamie Lee Curtis was

288
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.399
on Mark Marin's podcast. She said, I'm going to bring

289
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.559
up something with you, just because it's front of mind.

290
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.159
She misspoke and referred to Charlie crist meaning Charlie Kirk.

291
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.480
She said that was a slip of a tongue due

292
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:34.320
to Kirk's deep, deep belief in religion. Jamie Lee Curtis

293
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.279
fought through tears, telling Mark Marron I disagreed with him

294
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.279
on almost every point I ever heard him say. But

295
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:40.879
I believe he was a man of faith, and I

296
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:42.519
hope in that moment when he died that he felt

297
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.440
connected with his faith even though his ideas were born

298
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.000
to me. I still believe he's a father and a

299
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:48.720
husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever

300
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.559
connection to God means that he felt it. She talked

301
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:55.080
about the circulation of the video and said, we don't

302
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.639
know enough psychologically about what that does. What does that do?

303
00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:59.639
I don't ever want to see this footage of this

304
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.440
man being Yeah. I don't know if you saw it.

305
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.240
I saw it, just I'm on the internet all day

306
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.559
and wow, if you haven't seen it, you don't need

307
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.200
to see it. A couple other things haven't been able

308
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.679
to get to you. During the week, Drew Lynch praised

309
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.039
his Spokane audience for saving a man and the man

310
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.440
at the show had suffered a heart attack. Audience members

311
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.600
performed life saving measures until paramedics arrived. Lynch said, I

312
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.679
got to experience a group of people coming together to

313
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.879
revive someone, to give back someone their life. It was

314
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.360
a beautiful thing to witness because it restored hope for

315
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.960
whatever is going on in the crazy of this world.

316
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.240
You know what, I think. I'm gonna wrap there and

317
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.799
get out. On that note, the Toronto Comedy Festival kicks

318
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.600
off tonight, but I can talk about that tomorrow. See

319
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:42.840
you then,
