00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.119
Callaroga Shark Media make twelve thirty great again. I'm Johnny
2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.640
Mack with your daily comedy news David Letterman, who's on
3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.679
the wrong side of all the issues these days. You know,
4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.199
he's supporting Seth Myers, whereas the President and I are
5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.480
aligned that NBC twelve thirty could be a lot funnier.
6
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.600
Letterman also out there letting Adam Sandler believe he's the
7
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.519
least bit funny. You know, I don't know what to
8
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.079
do with this. I'm actually getting increasingly mad with Mike
9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.240
from The Letterman Podcast, and I'm in his ear that
10
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.399
he needs to rebrand his show as The Conan Podcast
11
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.880
and celebrate the true greatness of twelve thirty comedy now
12
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.240
that Dave has just lost his way. And you know,
13
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:44.920
I don't know what Jimmy Fallon did on that show
14
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.799
and Seth forget about it. So Mike the Conan Podcast
15
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.880
think about it. I think you need to consider it.
16
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.000
David Letterman is still out there putting out work. Dave
17
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.799
has announced another season of My Next Guest Needs No
18
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.399
Introduction with David Letterman, season December sixteenth. Michael B. Jordan
19
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.519
is the guest and my wife has the haunts for
20
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.239
Michael B. Jordan, so I'm not gonna tell her that
21
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.480
episode even exists. Then I find this interesting mister Beast,
22
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.719
and then they tell us mister Beast's real name is
23
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.760
Jimmy Donaldson. I thought your guest needs no introduction. Hmmm,
24
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.640
which is it? David Letterman and Jason Bateman will be
25
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:25.079
the final guest of the wopping three episode season. For
26
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.280
some reason, the Saandler episode not part of the official season.
27
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.560
I don't know how many of this works. I don't care. Dave,
28
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.879
come back home, Dave, you want to press me. I
29
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.680
don't care about the return of Eddie Murphy. Here's what
30
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.840
I want Dave to do. David Letterman, I'm calling you out.
31
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.680
I want you to find a tower somewhere and throw
32
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.959
a watermelon off it. Just one watermelon. That's all I
33
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.599
need out of you, Just to know that my David
34
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.120
Letterman is still in there somewhere now. The original five
35
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.480
story tower has been torn down, but I'm sure we
36
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.000
can find another five story tower if you want. If
37
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.400
you want to come over to my house and throw
38
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.280
a watermelon off the house at me, I'll let you
39
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.439
do that as long as I can record the audio.
40
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.560
You know, in these trying times where some things are
41
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.480
getting worse, some things are getting better, Sesame Street has
42
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.039
found its fastball. I'm really excited about this. You know,
43
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.599
Sesame Street is on Netflix right now. Yeah, no more PBS.
44
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.960
It's on Netflix and they're doing a cross promotion to
45
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.719
promote this knives Out movie that I think it's out today.
46
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.599
If you've ever seen a knives Out movie. Daniel Craig
47
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.000
plays ben Wan Blanc. Well, he plays Benyet Blanc on
48
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.360
a knives Out parody on Sesame Street. Let's listen, someone
49
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:39.199
e't me tripleberry pie? Ha ah, No one touched my
50
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.319
sardine pie. This a mystery only the world's greatest detective console.
51
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:54.719
What have arrived to this street of Sesame on a
52
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.719
sunner day? Turn cloudy? We have a culinary culprit in
53
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.240
our mites, and to solve this confectionery conundrum, we must
54
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.759
look right in front of our googly eyes at cookie Monster.
55
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.360
Oh we're not doing that whole gasp thing. It makes sense.
56
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.360
Cookie Master does love silm chills. Yeah, yes, now that
57
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.319
was pretty good, and like most things on modern Sesame Street,
58
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.919
it got ruined Byomo. I mean that is just the
59
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.800
story of him. Well, President Trump, why don't you do
60
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.560
something about Sesame Street? You know, I don't know what
61
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.240
you're doing all day. Appreciate you helping to make twelve
62
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.000
thirty great again, and I applaud your efforts there. You
63
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:37.719
and I are not aligned on all the issues, but
64
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.919
you've done nothing about Patton Oswalt and Star Trek so far,
65
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.120
and I think you need to do something about Sesame Street.
66
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.039
Sesame Street in the seventies was wonderful, and then Elmo
67
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.400
came along, and you should do something about that, mister President.
68
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.319
I digress. Some people want Knives Out filmmaker Ryan Johnson
69
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.000
to make an official Muppets version, which would be epic.
70
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.879
This probably as close as we'll ever get. Johnson had
71
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.599
the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter podcast that respects both the
72
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.879
Muppet movies and Knives Out to mix them. He says
73
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.039
that now come back in twenty years when he needs
74
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:10.879
a paycheck. He says, the reality is, if you put
75
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.120
Muppets in a Ben wa Blanc movie, it would feel
76
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:17.199
totally wrong because they would be getting murdered. The alternative
77
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.120
is just to stick Ben Wy into a Muppet movie,
78
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.120
which admittedly would be very fun, but will kind of
79
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.319
break the reality of what Blanc is, which is to say,
80
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.839
I'd love to just do a regular awesome Muppet movie.
81
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.319
No no, no, no, no, no no. Look, it's a movie.
82
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.519
We can all handle it. We can all understand that
83
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.079
there's no reality to this thing. We can handle it.
84
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.560
Make this President Trump, get on that. Burt Kreischer. I
85
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.680
like what Burke Kreischer is doing here. He will headline
86
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.079
the first Full Throttle Festival during the Daytona five hundred weekend.
87
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.879
Have you ever been to Daytona. I got to go twice.
88
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.560
I got what's called a hot pass. What a hot
89
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.399
pass is is you can be on pit road during
90
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.439
the actual race. So I would be standing at NASCAR races.
91
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.639
The series had the rights to a NASCAR and I
92
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.800
got to go to a bunch of races as part
93
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.199
of the cross promotional Blue Collar Radio. I found myself
94
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.040
in Talladego one day with Jeff Foxworthy. But you're standing there,
95
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.959
and because you have a past that says the word
96
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.040
hot on it, you have all access. It's like sitting
97
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.240
in the dugout in the World Series. So I was
98
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.079
there and I was like, I appreciate this. But I
99
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.360
know I'm not appreciative because I was looking at all
100
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.000
these people in the stands and I'm like, oh, boy,
101
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.360
if those people who like truly appreciate you know, I'm
102
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.399
from Queens. I didn't grow up a NASCAR. Those people, boy,
103
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:31.879
if they could be in my spot, they would lose
104
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.600
their mind. Again, I thought it was really cool, and
105
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.600
I was thankful, but I was just like, boy, this
106
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.399
is the equivalent of me sitting in the Mets dugout
107
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:38.920
in the World Series, Not that the Mets would ever
108
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.000
be in the World Series, but you know, I could fantasize.
109
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.199
I had a great time I met this dude. I've
110
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.600
got a great picture. He was dressed head to toe
111
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.120
in Budweiser gear. I guess he was a Dale Earnhardt
112
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.079
junior fan, and he had a cooler. And the other
113
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.079
thing about Daytona an hour before the race, you're allowed
114
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.600
to sit on the track. I've got a picture of
115
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.759
me sitting on the track drinking a Budweiser an hour
116
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.360
before or the race of Daytona five hundred. So I
117
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.040
love the Daytona five hundred. I have digressed again. Bert
118
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.360
Kreischer will headline the first Full Throttle Festival during Daytona
119
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.600
five hundred weekend, held February fourteenth, Happy Valentine's Day, Honey
120
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.800
at the Ocean Center. The festival will include barbecue, beer,
121
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.240
and NASCAR themed attractions. This sounds awesome. Tickets start at
122
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.959
seventy five bucks. Full Throttle Festival dot com touted as
123
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.199
an all night party that brings together live music, stand
124
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.800
up comedy, beer and barbecue under one massive roof. Kraser
125
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.680
will be joined by Leonard Skinnard and renowned DJ producer
126
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.959
and former Daytona Beach area resident Diplow seven pm to one.
127
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.600
Am Bert Kreisher said, Race Weekend in Daytona is the
128
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.839
super Bowl of speed, and for me that means going
129
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.879
absolutely massive. So I figured, why not partner with Nascord
130
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.519
build the biggest, wildest, greatest pre race party ever. We're
131
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.560
bringing a rock show, country show, comedy show, and the
132
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.040
kind of barbecue and beer that would make a pit
133
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.160
crew chief proud. Love it so much fun and to
134
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.560
wash all this down, as if this wasn't fun enough,
135
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.240
the Great American Beer Hall will feature an expanse of
136
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.759
craft beer program and domestic favorites with signature cocktails, available
137
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.560
at bars in the venue. Tickets to the Daytona five
138
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.759
hundred are not required to attend the festival. Sounds really cool.
139
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.519
Paul F. Tompkins has weight in on cake versus pie
140
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.360
and says cake will always be superior to pie. Yeah,
141
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.040
the truth hurts pie people. Cake will always be superior
142
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.399
to pie for one very simple reason, frosting. You all
143
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.439
forgot about the frosting. Every once in a while I
144
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.800
get some pathetic little pie person say something like, well,
145
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.600
you could put whipped cream on a pie. Whipped cream.
146
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.120
Don't make me laugh. You've embarrassed that both of us
147
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.680
with that answer. You put whipped cream up against frosting.
148
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.360
Love it. Here's how good frosting is when you eat
149
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.319
it directly out of can you feel shame must be.
150
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.399
It's pretty good because you're not supposed to eat it
151
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.240
that way. What are you gonna put pie filling up
152
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.879
against frosting? Patton Oswald, who is helping to ruin Star
153
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.160
Trek with his awful dug the Vulcan character, President Trump,
154
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.360
please get on this. Forbes asked Patent why the title
155
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.199
of his special Black Coffee and Ice Water does not
156
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.720
appear in the special and Patten said that he never
157
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.680
puts them in the special, and I was like, Yeah,
158
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.240
who does that? Nobody does that? Do people do that?
159
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.680
I hope not? Batton explain, And it's kind of the
160
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.079
overall mood at the title is more of the mood,
161
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.600
but you never hear anything with the title in it.
162
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.639
Batton explain. I usually generate about an hour and a
163
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:16.560
half of material every year, and I'd just done a
164
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.199
ton of films and TV shows, including Ruining Star Trek,
165
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.319
and a lot of traveling, and my life wasn't focused
166
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.439
on stand up for a while, maybe a little less
167
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.759
Dug the Vulcan and a little more stand up, just
168
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.639
saying and along with that was how hallucinatory and logical
169
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.879
the world has been coming around us. And as a comedian,
170
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:32.960
how do you take a step aside away from that
171
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.480
and go, I'm gonna go make fun of this thing
172
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.200
that's already kind of comedy proof in a weird way
173
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.840
because it's already so messed up. So there's a lot
174
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.000
of that feeling in this. And on top of that,
175
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.919
this was not a visual special, that's right, this is
176
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.200
an audio special on Audible. I was so much freer
177
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.679
to perform and just have it being the material. We're
178
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.600
doing a special. All you think of the camera angles,
179
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.519
the wardrobe lighting, how does it look? You have all
180
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.600
that in mind. It's everything but the material. But this
181
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.799
is just me. People are gonna hear my voice and
182
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.039
hear the audience and how we're both relating. Being that
183
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.000
stripped down and that simple for me, it was just fantastic.
184
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.240
Get your nominations in for Comedy Survivor. What we're going
185
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.399
to do in January is every week we're going to
186
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.840
vote one comedian off the Island. So I need your
187
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.759
nominations for who should be on Comedy Survivor. And again,
188
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.639
remember the point isn't who wins, it's the journey. So
189
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.919
give me good names so I have material to work with.
190
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.120
Go to Facebook Daily Comedy News podcast group and three
191
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.679
names in. I'll reveal on Monday who's going to be
192
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.720
on the Island. Comedy Gives Back as a nonprofit that
193
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.080
acts as the safety net of the comedy world, they've
194
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.279
announced a new annual fundraising effort, the Very Good Person
195
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.320
Year End Giving Campaign. Donations will address the challenges faced
196
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.519
by comedians, including mental health struggles, physical health, and financial
197
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:45.279
instability through various initiatives, including therapy grants, financial assistance programs,
198
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.519
recovery meetings, and educational workshops. The org aims to ensure
199
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.720
that stand ups at all stages of the career receive
200
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.759
the support they need. Zoe Friedman is the organization's executive
201
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.000
director and co founder. As Zoe said, people know the
202
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:58.879
Kevin Harts and the bird crisis of the world, But
203
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.679
for every household name, there are hundreds of working comedians
204
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.600
you've never heard of who are grinding it out to
205
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.679
bring laughter the world. Those are the comedians Comedy Gives
206
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.240
Back exists to support. Zoe was a guest on episode
207
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.320
one hundred and eighty five of the still titled Letterman
208
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.960
Podcast Again. I'm hoping Mike will rename this the Conan
209
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.360
Podcast and accept the greatness of twelve thirty. And you know,
210
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.440
sometimes I got to leave people behind. There was a
211
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.840
time when Rudy Giuliani was America's mayor and everybody in
212
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.440
New York City loved him. A couple of years went by,
213
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.240
things change. Giuliani started supporting Adam Sandler comedies and saying
214
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.279
Seth Myers was funny, and you know some other stuff.
215
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.519
And now people don't like Juliani as much as they did, say,
216
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.200
you know, in the early nineties when they were in
217
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.080
their early twenties living in New York City. I mean
218
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.279
times change. So Mike, please rename your podcast to the
219
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.480
Conan Podcast, and you know, give you some other stuff
220
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.759
to talk about. Comedy Gives Back has granted one million
221
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.200
dollars to over one thousand working comedians experiencing hardship since
222
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.639
twenty nineteen. Nice job there, folks. Also a nice job
223
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.399
by Tracy Morgan, who said he has fed over nineteen
224
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.240
thousand families. Tracy told people he has donated more than
225
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.240
two hundred thousand dollars to support vulnerable households through his
226
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.360
work with the Hacketsack Meridian Health Foundation. Tracy says, it's
227
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.080
fun to get the love and support, but it's better
228
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.559
when you give it back. That's what I want to
229
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.600
teach my children more than just a great education. I
230
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.679
want Maven and her brothers to be empathic. Tercy has
231
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.080
a great point of view. He says, at this point
232
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.200
in my life, spending time with my children, that's it.
233
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.039
I don't care about nothing else in the world. Listeners
234
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.720
to this program know that Marcelo Hernandez does two things. Well,
235
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.720
those two things are the character he does on SNL.
236
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.000
Every single sketch he appears, it's I mean, you can
237
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.279
call it Domingo, but it's all the same character. And
238
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.120
his Sebastian Manascalco impression. Well, now we'll see if Marcello
239
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.519
has a third thing he can do. He's going to
