Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.080
Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news

3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:15.560
is tonight at the start of the new era of

4
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.960
late night, It's Goodnight with Ben Gleb making its YouTube premiere.

5
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:22.719
I'm not sure this will have the same impact as say,

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.320
a four day a week eleven thirty five network show,

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.440
but who knows Goodnight with Ben glee will become the

8
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.839
first late night type show launching on YouTube, made exclusively

9
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.640
for YouTube, we are told Glebe's weekly series is designed

10
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.399
to evolve the traditional celebrity focus late nights base, offering

11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.079
chats with the usual suspects, while broadening in scope to

12
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.759
include top thought leaders, creators, experts, entrepreneurs, wellness and financial experts,

13
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.520
relationship coaches, AI futurists, and psychologists. Shows a tape of

14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.799
the night before as in Last Night, and we'll debut

15
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.159
on YouTube every Thursday at ten Eastern. Not sure why

16
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.640
they pick that time. There's a live studio audience, a

17
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.200
wall of screens showing the first global virtual studio audience.

18
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.280
Bill Carter said. There will be a band, and each

19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.359
week we'll also feature a post show after party episode

20
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.640
where glebe dives deeper with his guests and additional curated invitees,

21
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.879
often over drinks and candid conversation. All right, I come

22
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.319
with an open mind. We'll check that one out. Pete

23
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.000
Davidson and John mullaney talked a little bit about how

24
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.400
some people hosting Saturday Night Live aren't that good during

25
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.200
the Netflix as a Joke Festival, John mulaney reflected on

26
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.040
his time as a writer and he said, when I

27
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.280
was twenty five, I'd tell Oscar winning host I'd right

28
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:37.840
there monologue. I'd be like, yeah, I got to say

29
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.280
all that, it's got to go great, and then that

30
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.159
tank eight times out of ten. Pete david said laughed

31
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:43.920
and said he too would tell hosts they crushed it

32
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.519
even when they didn't. Lene said, they'll have actor face.

33
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.000
They sort of don't get it because they're just an

34
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.159
actor and they'd be like, hey, was that good, and

35
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.879
you're like, no, do you have ears? Pete said, it

36
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.560
off and tell the hosts you're really performing for the

37
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.280
people at home. Lane added, play for the camera the audience.

38
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.599
They're just there to help you, but they're not going

39
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.959
to laugh a lot. Pete and I don't always go

40
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.120
their chores. They wait outside they try to win a lottery.

41
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.640
Half of them probably don't even speak English. They do,

42
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.800
they're big fans of the show. They camp outside. Mlaney

43
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.960
recalled an instance when a very big comedy star bombed,

44
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.639
saying it was the comedy store's own fault because it

45
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.639
was very difficult writing the monologue. But when the famous

46
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.800
comedy star checked in, when Mlaney, m'laney said, it's bad acoustics, Melanie,

47
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.319
that's pointed out it's famously one of the best Mike

48
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:26.800
sound studios in the world that used to be the

49
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.680
home to the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Speaking of symphonies, Josh

50
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.520
Johnson Symphony was I did this by accident. I just

51
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.680
I didn't plan this at all. These two stories is

52
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.120
happen to be in this great back to back Josh

53
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.960
Johnson Symphony his first ever HBO comedy special. He wanted

54
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.280
it to be timeless, he told Emmy's dot Com. No

55
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.479
interesting that Emmys dot Com interviewed Josh Johnson. HM keep

56
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.719
an eye on that when the Emmy nominations come around.

57
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.560
Josh told Emmys dot Com, I really want people to

58
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.000
be able to look back and enjoy this thing I've

59
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.719
done with HBO for years and years and years. That's

60
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.759
why I didn't make any topical references. I'm just talking

61
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.360
about things that feel particularly universal, at least to me.

62
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.639
I haven't gotten to it yet, as I've mentioned a

63
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.199
couple times on the shows in London last week and

64
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.240
now that they are Knicks games, and then four as

65
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.080
a Horizon six came out and at James Bond video game,

66
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.199
So you know, I haven't really been in TV mood.

67
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.879
In Symphony, Josh comes out and he takes a moment

68
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.520
to look at the audience. D Emmys were curious, what

69
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.759
are you doing, Josh said, He's trying to form a

70
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.960
connection with them. It's also taking a second to take

71
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.039
stock of what's happening. Let's say you're fully locked in.

72
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.599
You could just run out there, start doing your first

73
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.240
joke and be thinking about outlands, thinking about last per

74
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.199
minute and everything, where you could take a quick second

75
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.280
to stop and not just enjoy, but really respect the

76
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.479
fact that these people are all here together for a reason.

77
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.599
I think it takes the moment of noticing to really

78
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.599
make yourself present and fully respect everyone was there. Josh

79
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.520
talked about his career. He's been doing stand up since

80
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.639
twenty twelve, but says I was pretty happy. We're gking

81
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.360
at the grocery store and doing stand up at night.

82
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.360
In a sense, I couldn't imagine doing what I'm doing now.

83
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.360
If you have a real love and curiosity for something,

84
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.319
then you can't help but give it a shot. When

85
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.039
I moved to Chicago, I landed and almost immediately try

86
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.560
to find an open mic pressure Billio's in Chicago. That

87
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.520
was the first open mic that I did. I had

88
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.439
five minutes and I didn't mention time well. I told

89
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.400
two jokes in a story and then kind of finished.

90
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.800
I really want to respect the light. Because I was new,

91
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.280
I didn't want to make enemies or anything. Emmy's was

92
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.639
curious about the sets Josh puts out on YouTube every Tuesday.

93
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.639
How do you handle that? Josh Johnson said, I've always

94
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.639
written a lot, a lot, a lot a lot. While

95
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.399
some things can be very funny and topical, they're just

96
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.000
not gonna be relevant forever. To me, it makes the

97
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.680
most sense to share those things so that those who

98
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.319
couldn't make it to the show get to enjoy it. It

99
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.319
also helps build some community. There are people who tune

100
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.040
into the live YouTube show every week and we chat

101
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.560
in the chat and I'm very thankful to the people

102
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.879
that made a ritual out of it. As for hosting

103
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.160
the daily show, Josh has said in the past he

104
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.800
compares a too boring of friend's car. You want to

105
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.079
return it without any damage. Josh spoke more about that

106
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.959
and said, I think it's important to consistently feel that way.

107
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.439
That's not the way that anyone has made me feel.

108
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.720
It's the thing I do out of respect for what

109
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.360
I get to do. I hope I don't lose that feeling,

110
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.120
not even for a little bit, because it's what keeps

111
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.879
me as intentional as possible. Muscle and Fitness caught up

112
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.279
with Tom Sigoura around the time of The Two Bears

113
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.639
five K. Sigura said, what makes that event work is

114
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.079
probably two middle aged fat guys not known for being

115
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.920
fit decided to do this, and that inspired a lot

116
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.560
of other people had never done it to try it.

117
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.199
I wish we had started eight years earlier. Zagora admits

118
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.199
that he takes the physical side of the event much

119
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.040
differently than his partner Bert. Bert's more of a winged guy.

120
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:15.800
I can't do that, so I started getting my miles

121
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.399
in months in advance. I kind of hate it, the running,

122
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.480
but I slowly start to embrace it as it gets closer.

123
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.160
I need to start up again. I've been really bad.

124
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.720
It was also four degrees all winter, Sigora said. I've

125
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:27.759
made physical health a priority. It also makes me listen

126
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.199
to my body in a way I never did before.

127
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.920
I'm more into mobility and circuit training now more than ever.

128
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.959
I don't think about big lifts like when I was younger.

129
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.680
It's so mental. We're all capable of more, but you

130
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.199
have to have the right mindset to prepare and go

131
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.480
through with it. I wake up around six thirty seven

132
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.079
and go to the gym most mornings to run a

133
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.040
mile and have a workout that's more circuit based lately,

134
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.600
so I get cardio and resistance in. I take days

135
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.160
off as I feel any of them. I don't plan

136
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.839
for them. That was the same way when I was

137
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.639
running a lot. Yeah, sometimes you just need that one

138
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.399
day off and then you feel a lot better. Eating

139
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.439
clean isn't that hard, says s Agora. Sleep can be

140
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.040
a real challenge with travel on the kids, but you

141
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.160
can't perform well in any physical activity if you don't

142
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.120
prioritize sleepe, don't overthe g it, just get it done.

143
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.680
It doesn't have to look good for it to count.

144
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.759
Do all the little min Dane stuff. You think it's

145
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.439
a waste of time. It's a difference between making a

146
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.480
full recovery and having lingering issues on race day. I

147
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.000
think we all want to beat each other. We're also

148
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.560
old enough to know we could hurt ourselves and after

149
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.959
the race drinking poroso straight up then cold plunge.

150
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:19.439
All right.

151
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.600
Bill Board put out the list of biggest comedy tours

152
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.920
for April. Number five, Berg Kreischer twelve shows, twenty five

153
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.759
nine hundred tickets, grows two point one million dollars. Not bad. Now.

154
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.360
I don't know what this one is. It's the We

155
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.160

159
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.040
They'll be at the win Trest Arena in Chicago on Saturday.

160
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.120
If you want to go, say how much tickets for

161
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.000
this thing are? Section two one row. J o'r on

162
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.759
you ninety dollars eighty five cents. Number three. Peter Kay

163
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.759
did five shows and gross to four million dollars. Matt

164
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.959
Rie did ten shows and grossed at nine point one million.

165
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.120
And the King of the World and we'll be talking

166
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.079
about him a lot later this week because he's got

167
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.319
a movie coming out. Naprighatzy fifteen shows gross to eleven

168
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.839
point two million dollars. Let me say that number again.

169
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.360
He grossed eleven point two million dollars. That's a gross.

170
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.800
It's not net, but still eleven point two million dollars.

171
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:27.319
Wow.

172
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.879
From The Guardian, the Department of Homeland Security has circulated

173
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.920
a be on the lookout alert to law enforcement nationwide.

174
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.399
All right, who are they looking for? They're looking for

175
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.920
a comedian. The subject of the alert is Ben Palmer,

176
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.000
the national based standup comedian and prankster who has created

177
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.160
a parody anti immigration tip website. I've shared some of

178
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.920
his calls before. If you're not hip to this, His

179
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.360
revealing videos of calls with members of the public who

180
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.639
thought they were reporting immigrants to US Immigration and Customs enforcement.

181
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.240
You know them as ICE, have garnered millions of us

182
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:01.560
on TikTok and YouTube.

183
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.040
I made a website for reporting illegal immigrants, and sometimes

184
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.600
people end up on the website thinking that it's real.

185
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.160
And somebody wanted to report a man that they suspected

186
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.480
to be an illegal immigrant that lives in their neighborhood.

187
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.319
So I reached out to see if I could help.

188
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.199
There is one person who comes and he's non speaking,

189
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:23.040
non English speaking, and he will come possibly, oh see,

190
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.800
maybe maybe you'll see him two weekends out of the month.

191
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.839
And it's not even for a complete weekend. It's you'll

192
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.120
come Saturday like a thief in the night at ten,

193
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.320
ten thirty, eleven thirty at night, and then leave Sunday

194
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.039
and he's gone. Okay, it's just very very suspicious while

195
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.000
he is here. When he pulled into the driveway. Yeah,

196
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:43.759
and the lights always on.

197
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:50.080
They're using electricity in the home, yes and yes, and

198
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.080
that is definitely suspicious.

199
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:53.440
Yes.

200
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.919
And they're also using the the driveway right.

201
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.039
And the light is always lit in the garage when

202
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.279
he comes, light stays on. We cannot see the basement

203
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.759
section from our kitchen window. We can only see that

204
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.600
there's a light lit, and that's the garage window that

205
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:11.759
we can see the light lit.

206
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.159
Yeah, and so just not being able to not being

207
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.039
able to see what the resident is doing inside their

208
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.840
own home, that's what raises the suspicions.

209
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.480
The bulletin was issued by the DHS Nashville Field Office

210
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.279
in February, about a week before The Washington Post profiled

211
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:34.279
Palmer after a kinderdgarten teacher reported one of her students'

212
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.519
parents to Palmer's supposed tip page.

213
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:38.879
And it looks like they have a child who was

214
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:43.159
born in New York, which makes them an American citizen. Yeah,

215
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:47.360
so we're looking to deport the parents and leave the child.

216
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.919
Right. Like I said, I don't know if they're here illegally.

217
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.080
I just think it's odd. You know, it's very odd.

218
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:54.360
What did you say was odd?

219
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:56.720
It's just odd for them even me here.

220
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.080
Like I'm a teacher at a school.

221
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:00.799
Schools.

222
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.039
I know the whole law about schools. I mean, they

223
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:04.360
seem like nice people or whatever.

224
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.399
But I looked them up.

225
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.240
In our files and I was like, oh, she.

226
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.279
Was born in Honduras and he's born in Alzabad or

227
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.039
so right there. It's like, Okay, maybe I'm on the

228
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.279
right path. You know, they drop off their kid every day.

229
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.679
So their kid is their kid a student at your school?

230
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.159
Yes?

231
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:27.600
Yeah, okay, so now you want to get his parents deported.

232
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.720
Well, I'm just saying, if they're taking up resources from

233
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.279
our county not into illegal people being here.

234
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.799
Then the be on the Lookout was shared by the

235
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.519
Illinois State Police to a distribution list of state and

236
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.200
local law enforcement agencies. The alert on Palmer was obtained

237
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.960
by the nonprofit Injustice Watch. It's not immediately clear how

238
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.080
many other law enforcement departments around the US may have

239
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.000
shared the federal alert to be on the lookout for

240
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.879
Ben Palmer. At the bottom of the Bee on the

241
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.320
Lookout alert, the dh acknowledges that the comedian does not

242
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.759
pose a danger. At this time. There appears to be

243
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.960
no direct threat to life or infrastructure. A DHS spokesperson

244
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.879
said there is no investigation into this individual. This document

245
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.399
is an internal memo shared for awareness purposes only, adding

246
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.360
that law enforcement and civilians should be aware of potential

247
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.679
websites and individuals impersonating federal law enforcement. Palmer said he

248
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.879
found out about this from Injustice Watch. He called it

249
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.480
a badge of honor to be honest. For me, it's

250
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.279
the best of both worlds. I don't get arrested, but

251
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.159
I still get to say that the Department of Homeland

252
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.519
Security created a document about me, which is in my

253
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.120
line of work. I was looking at these things more

254
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.080
like certificates, badges of honor. The government wastes a lot

255
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.120
of time and SAX dollars for sure, but when you

256
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.000
have your own little section on that, I kind of

257
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.399
feel honored. HBO Max has confirmed the premier date of

258
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.600
a new six episode Australian led comedy series called Make

259
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.080
That Movie. I love the two people in this They

260
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.759
are Sam Campbell and Aaron Chen. I recently played some

261
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.159
clips from Aaron on this program and Sam Campbell you

262
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.440
may know from Luk. Created by Sam Campbell, Make That

263
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.039
Movie follows a chaotic, high concept premise. A self assured

264
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.000
filmmaker travels across the country searching for everyday people with

265
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.120
ideas for future films, before attempting to bring those ideas

266
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.840
to life in just three days. Sam Campbell starts as

267
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.559
the fast talking director. Aaron chen plays Sebastian, an intimacy coordinator.

268
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.399
They're all fab I think that'll be good. A partner

269
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:27.559
Naturla talked to Joy sauce. They were curious if she

270
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.840
needs the audience's approval. Apart I said, even if it

271
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.919
feels like a one way conversation, it ends up being

272
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.960
a dialogue. Some audiences may be more or less receptive.

273
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.960
Whatever you're bringing to them is fully in your control,

274
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.840
and you can adjust your material based on what lands

275
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.399
or whatd feedback you get. The best part of stand

276
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.240
up comedy is you don't have to fit someone's version

277
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.080
of how you need to show up. You can show

278
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.320
as much or as little of yourself as you'd like. Personally,

279
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.320
I approach comedy from the inside out perspective versus outside.

280
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.200
In her recent hour on Dropout called hopeful, Potato was

281
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.360
informed by the break I took from stand up at

282
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.799
a time spent writing my book, as well as the pandemic.

283
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.679
Now I'm in my forty, he said, it's a time

284
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.440
when women start experiencing mental, emotional and physical shifts. It's

285
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.399
a reckoning with yourself and a second adolescence. If you're

286
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:07.879
at a place where half your life is done and

287
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.679
you're lucky half lies ahead, what do you want to

288
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:12.320
do with that time? And I will I ask myself

289
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.240
that question every day, sometimes to take a four hour

290
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.639
train ride to Scotland. Culture had caught up with BJ Novak,

291
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.919
you know him as Ryan from the office. They did

292
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.559
some rapid fire BJ. What's something people get wrong about you?

293
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.440
He said? I have no idea what they think about me,

294
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.480
and whatever it is, they might well be right. If

295
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.600
anyone's wrong about me, it's probably me. I'm too close

296
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.600
to it. When's the last time you laughed hysterically, Bj Novak?

297
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.360
He said, The fact I can't remember tells me I

298
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.440
need to change my life, and for that I generally

299
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.799
thank you. Cultured magazine questionnaire will keeps you up at night? Bj?

300
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.320
The coffee I drag at three pm? And who do

301
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.399
you call the most? He said? Call my parents every Friday.

302
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.200
Everyone else I text. And that is your comedy news
