Callaroga Shark Media.

00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.199
Hey Air, I'm back. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

3
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.119
comedy news, a daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.039
and the comedy industry. Which is a sentence you would

5
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.480
say if you were trying to train the Spotify transcription algorithm.

6
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:21.960
But we don't have time for that right now, because

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.120
Dave Chappelle has released a surprise special. Yeah. The other night,

8
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:27.559
it's a Mill of the Night. I wake up with

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.239
the Mill of the night, go to the bathroom like

10
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.160
us old guys do. Then I gotta settle myself. I

11
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.079
pull out my phone and I'm like, Dave Chappelle released

12
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.920
a special. Yeah, there was this boxing thing on Netflix,

13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:37.359
and then in the middle of that, they're like, oh yeah,

14
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.000
after the show stick around, there's a Dave Chappelle special.

15
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.600
What stop doing that. We'll talk about that in a minute.

16
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.479
Some people are saying this is the greatest Dave Chappelle

17
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.880
special of all time. I don't agree.

18
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:48.399
Now.

19
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.679
I put this thing on and I was psyched for

20
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.200
it because Chappelle's always great and this is a very

21
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.039
good special, but it's not number one. But i'd seen

22
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:58.880
some early reviews of it and people were raving about it.

23
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.320
I'm like, oh, okay for this thing, and I hit

24
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.200
play on it, and it just looks great. It looks

25
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.680
like a big time comedy special should look like, like if

26
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.040
you compare it to the hilarious Kamil Nanjiohanni, it's a

27
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.799
guy on a stage that that just kind of shot.

28
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.480
This looks specials, This looks big time. This looks like

29
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.719
one of the old HBO comedy specials. And Dave comes

30
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.680
out and he's throwing heat, and to me, it felt

31
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.640
like one of those nights when you're watching a baseball

32
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.840
game and the starting pitchers out there and you're like,

33
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.120
this guy's gonna throw a no hitter tonight. No one's

34
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.200
gonna touch him. He's gonna strike out fifteen guys. This

35
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.560
is one of those nights. This guy's untouchable. And that's

36
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.400
how I felt about Chappelle for probably the first half

37
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.040
of this special, and then by the end, I feel

38
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:38.840
like it's one of those nights where that same picture

39
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.480
eventually gives up a hit and why is it throwing

40
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.319
seven innings and giving up two runs, which is a

41
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.959
really good start, but not what you had in mind

42
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.959
an hour ago. Does that make sense. I feel like

43
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.519
the special just didn't land at the end, but the

44
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.319
front half pretty strong. I don't understand the timing of

45
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.400
the release. Don't understand the strategy at all to announce

46
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.359
something in the middle of a fight that hey, this

47
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.680
thing's coming out in a couple hours, So you wind

48
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.560
up getting press on the Saturday before Christmas, which I

49
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.039
think if you tried to time it, you couldn't do worse.

50
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.800
How they even shot this thing without word getting out

51
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.000
is kind of surprising. Maybe they shoot every Chappelle show,

52
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.159
and the cameras did seem like they were a little

53
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.680
far away and zoomed in and not the usual handhelds

54
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.439
in the middle of someone's face, and maybe they were

55
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.039
able to hide it that way. But I just don't

56
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.240
understand even the Netflix strategy of hey, here's a surprise drop,

57
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.080
like why not tease it the Saturday before Christmas is weird.

58
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.719
Like even if you host a comedy podcast, it's like, dude,

59
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.159
it's the Saturday before Christmas. I have to spend time

60
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.319
with my family. I'll try and watch this thing tonight,

61
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:41.919
which is what I did. I found time around five

62
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.120
o'clock on Saturday to watch it so none of that

63
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.280
makes sense to me. So yeah, in the middle of

64
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.039
the night, Dave Chappelle jumps on Instagram posts. I wanted

65
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.080
to shout out to my hometown Washington, DC and think

66
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.000
everybody that came out in October to support me at

67
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.639
the show. Just want you to know the show will

68
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.479
be streaming on Netflix tonight. After the fight, my new

69
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.080
special drops and I hope you love it. Thank you

70
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.400
very much. Okay. The special is one hour fifteen minutes.

71
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.400
The description Facing a World Gone Sideway is comedy Icon.

72
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.400
Dave Chappelle delivers bold truths and potent punchlines and this

73
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.719
no holds barred special it is Dave's eighth special with Netflix.

74
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.520
I'll give you a couple vibe spoilers here, then I'm

75
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.039
going to get into specific spoilers. So if you haven't

76
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.919
watched the special yet, I'll warn you one more time

77
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.439
before I do it, but you might want to bail.

78
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.719
In the second half of today's episode, i'll talk about

79
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.759
bon Yang. Did Dave joke about transgender people? He did

80
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.680
in one segment, and I think it's the best joke

81
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.240
of the night. I don't want to spoil it, but

82
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.439
he didn't ignore it, nor did he dwell on it.

83
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.120
Dave puts some facts into evidence along the way that

84
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.919
I'm not sure I agree with his premises. I do

85
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.719
appreciate that Dave always has something to say. Now I'll

86
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.199
get into specific spoilers. So again, if you haven't seen

87
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.639
the special and you would like to watch the special

88
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.439
without Johnny Max spoiling it, why don't you hit stop

89
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.120
on the podcast right now. I don't want to ruin

90
00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.800
it for you, but I am about to spoil it.

91
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.560
In three two and one spoilers ahead. Dave Chappelle did

92
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.360
discuss his appearance at the ri Odd Comedy Festival. That's

93
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.039
set up some pretty strong materials, some of the strongest

94
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.360
material of the night. But here's Dave Chappelle himself talking

95
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.079
about it. I did edit an effer at the very

96
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:18.800
top of this clip. The rest is intact.

97
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.079
These mothers act like because I did a comedy festival

98
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.480
in Saudi Arabia, I somehow betrayed my principles. Well, no, no,

99
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.040
I know, I didn't. I know, no, no, no, no, no.

100
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.120
Let me come on, everybody, let me do this, and

101
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.160
I'm sure i know I'm all right. Now, everybody calmed down, now,

102
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.800
I'm sure I'm right. First of all, what did they

103
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.360
say they sent they said, well, they said well, they said, well,

104
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:52.439
Saudi Arabia killed a journalist and rest in peace, Jamal Kashogi.

105
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.879
I'm sorry that he got murdered in such a heinous fashion,

106
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:04.560
but and that, but like you know, period. Also, I mean, look, bro,

107
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:10.720
Israel's killed two hundred and forty journalists in the last

108
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.720
three months, so I didn't know y'all was still counting.

109
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.079
Dave continues to joke about Riod and says, you know

110
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.839
what my new job is, I sit by the phone

111
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.759
and wait for the Arabs to call me a great joke.

112
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.600
At one point, Chappelle calls out Bill Maher and says,

113
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.839
you know Bill Maher, the famous comedian unknown Bill since

114
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.399
I was like eighteen nineteen years old, and I never

115
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.480
said this publicly, but f that guy, so effing tired

116
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.639
of his little smug cracker ass commentary. Chappelle was upset

117
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.040
with Bill Maher commenting on Dave playing Riod. Now, Dave

118
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.399
makes some points. He says, two years ago, I almost

119
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.040
got canceled right here in the United States for transgender jokes.

120
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.160
But I got to tell you something transgender jokes went

121
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.839
over very well in Saudi Arabia. Chappelle also does a

122
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.319
chunk about Charlie Kirk being compared to doctor Martin Luther

123
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.040
King Junior. Some good laughs out of there. Chappelle breaks

124
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.279
into an MLK impression, saying, and I won't do it,

125
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.439
but smash that like button and subscribe follow me for

126
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.480
more content like this. I believe all black people should

127
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.199
be free change my mind. Very good segment there. Chappelle

128
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.600
then moves on to Jimmy Kimmel's cancelation free speech, government

129
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.399
control Puffy Combs, and then Dave kind of stops down

130
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.800
and says he's going to do the longest closer in

131
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.600
the history of his career. He asked the audience to

132
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.560
stay quiet and focused and says he'll do two closers,

133
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.560
one for the d C crowd and another that he

134
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.439
had performed in Saudi Arabia. GQ explains no spoilers, but

135
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.879
what follows as a wild odyssey spanning nineteen ten to

136
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.680
twenty twenty four that manages to fold in American history,

137
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.879
legendary zeitgeist moments, and his own lore well described watch

138
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.920
a special let Chappelle tell it Chappelle closes the show

139
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:41.600
by telling the crowd, no matter how much of this

140
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.240
government or anyone else puts pressure on you, keep your

141
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.120
wits about you. I'm here just to remind you that

142
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.560
we're a community and we will stay sane together. We'll

143
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.439
take care of each other, and we will wait.

144
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:51.199
Now.

145
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.639
As for the title of the special, you'll see it

146
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.959
slugged in the Netflix key art as the Unstoppable. You'll

147
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.800
see it referred to as the Unstoppable. Johnny Max is

148
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.839
going to refer to it as the Unstoppable. The full

149
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.120
name of the special is actually the unstoppable N word act.

150
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.439
I think this special is evidence of Dave Chappelle being

151
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.480
the best comedian in the game right now. Again, I

152
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.160
don't think it's the best special of the year. I

153
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.079
have it at fifth. My current list is Mark Maren,

154
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.879
Kevin Hart, Robbie Hoffman, Matt Rife, and Dave Chappelle at five.

155
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.759
Those are the top tier, and then a drop down

156
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.079
at Jin Jefferies and the rest of my previously discussed list. Again,

157
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.839
very strong, Chappelle has something to say. Chappelle as the

158
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.959
top of the class. But I just felt like the

159
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.600
second half of the special my thumb started grabbing my phone,

160
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.360
and that's always one of my tails. Whereas Kevin Hart Special,

161
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.279
I think is end to end laughs. Kevin Hart's not

162
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.279
going for art, Dave Chappelle's going for art, and I

163
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.959
think Mark Maren Special nailed the combination of laughs and

164
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.040
having something to say. Bowen Yang has finished up his

165
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.000
tenure on Saturday Night Live. Prior to the episode, he

166
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:57.879
released a statement in which he said, I loved working

167
00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.680
at SNL, and most of all, I love the people.

168
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.519
Was there at a time when things in this world

169
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.199
started to seem futile, but working at thirty Rock taught

170
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.120
me the value and showing up anyway when people make

171
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.000
it worthwhile. I'm grateful for every minute of my time there.

172
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.680
I learned about myself bad with wigs. I learned about

173
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.600
others generous, vulnerable, hot. I learned that human error could

174
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.519
be nothing but correct. I learned that comedy is mostly logistics,

175
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.000
and that it will usually fail until it doesn't, which

176
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.160
is the best. With Fors's, thank you to every single

177
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.120
person who shut up their friends and co workers and

178
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.639
audiences and hosts. Thank you to Lorne for the job,

179
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.000
for the standard, and for bringing everyone at work together.

180
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.839
They all care deeply about the people in the room,

181
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.159
any room, enjoying themselves. I can't believe I was ever

182
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.919
included in that the show doesn't go on because it's ready,

183
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.080
But shoot, I hope I am. During the final sketch

184
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.080
on Saturday, Bowen Yang got teary eyed. In the sketch,

185
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.200
various cast members came up to him posing as holiday travelers,

186
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.480
and it soon became clear that the skit was a

187
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.600
vehicle to send bowen Yang off. He told fellow cast members,

188
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:55.320
this is my last shift. It's sad. I'm going to

189
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.279
miss everything about this place. At one point, Bowyang broke

190
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.759
down while expressing gratitude, saying, it just feel so lucky

191
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.039
that I ever got to work here, and I just

192
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.399
wanted to enjoy it for a little bit longer, especially

193
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.919
the people I've loved. Every single person who works here.

194
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.960
Snl off for the holidays. We'll return on January seventeenth.

195
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.080
Other than that, bowen was lightly in the episode. It

196
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.720
was also the holiday joke swap between the Jay and

197
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.919
chose to maybe we'll get into that on Tuesday. Monday's

198
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.480
episodes already in the can. I normally don't record Sunday,

199
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.679
same day for Sunday. But you know, someone woke up

200
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:24.919
in the middle of the night and dropped a comedy

201
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.879
special on me. So here's my question for Bowen Yang.

202
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.080
Is this the Kate McKinnon trap? Like Bowen Yang is great,

203
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.679
but bow and Yang without SNL is the anchor. Let

204
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.879
me ask you some difficult questions. Are you going to

205
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.960
go see the bow and Yang movie? Is that something

206
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.559
that excites you, especially in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six,

207
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.480
where even going to the theaters isn't a thing anymore?

208
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.120
Like is a Bowen Yang movie exciting? Is a bow

209
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.720
and Yang sitcom exciting? Or are you kind of making

210
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.360
the critical face that I am. Now We're like, oh,

211
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.320
Bowen Yang's doing a sitcom? So then what some sort

212
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.600
of Netflix show, a variety show, some sort of James

213
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.080
Cordon esque type show. Yes, I know he has lost Culturistas. Yes,

214
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.279
I know this is the last Culturalista's Awards. Am I

215
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.799
a fan? Yes? Does he tells? Yes? But like in

216
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.480
twenty like, what do you do now? Like, what's Kate

217
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.960
McKinnon doing? She was fantastic? I'll make her the comp here?

218
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.559
What's Kate McKinnon even doing so. I don't know. I

219
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.440
wish Bowen well while we're here recording an extra episode,

220
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:23.399
let me get the lilt out of my voice, because

221
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.480
this is all kinds of horrible. The media is reporting

222
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.799
that Conan O'Brien stopped a friend from calling nine to

223
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.200
one one during the fight between Rob and Nick Reiner

224
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.919
at Conan O'Brien's holiday party last week. You may recall

225
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:40.480
multiple attendees I've reported witnessing Rob and Nick having an argument.

226
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.799
One source tells The Daily Mail that the fight was

227
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.159
so intense that at least one guest suggested calling the

228
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.000
cops to intervene. The insider says they gotten an argument

229
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:50.559
the father and son. I got so bad and loud.

230
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.519
Someone want to call the police report it, but Conan

231
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.200
stepped in and said, it's my house, my party, I'm

232
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.240
not calling the police, and talk them out of calling

233
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:01.360
the police. That's all kinds of horrible. A source close

234
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.000
to the LAPD said there were no nine to one

235
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.480
to one calls from Brian's house on last Saturday night,

236
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.440
and added only the murderer is responsible. But it must

237
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.320
be gunt wrenching for Conan to learn that this is

238
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.120
how things turned out. I'm sure that night is replaying

239
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.240
for him over and over. It's just so awful and sad.

240
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.080
I mean, what do you even say? They're all kinds

241
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.399
of horrible, and I feel like this is going to

242
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.320
be a big story that continues. And while we're here,

243
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.440
I did watch Kamil Nanjiohanni's special. It's pretty funny. I've

244
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.279
always liked his stand up. It's good to see him

245
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.440
back on stage. I right now have it at number eleven,

246
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.759
with Dusty Slay's special being better and Bert Kreischer's special

247
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.960
being slightly worse. So right now I have Maren Hart,

248
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.960
Robie Hoffman, Rife Chappelle, Jim Jefferies, Justin Willman's Magic Lover,

249
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.399
John Marco, Moe Ammer, Dusty Slay, and Kamil Nanjiohanny. So

250
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.440
I like the special lot, but it just had me

251
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.519
saying that these people that had that at number one, like,

252
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.440
oh my god, this is the most incredible special of

253
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.279
the year in a year where we had Maren never

254
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.759
mind Chappelle, because that just came out, But the people

255
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.080
who had that at number one, I really was wondering,

256
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.679
is Hulu paying people to review specials? Because there's just

257
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.679
no way, Like, there's no way that's number one. It's

258
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.360
a perfectly fine, funny hour, but like, just compared to

259
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.519
Maren Special, how could you possibly have Camail at number one?

260
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.240
It just boggles the mind. And I saw several sits

261
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.000
just raving about this special. Is it funny, yes, is

262
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:19.320
it good?

263
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:19.639
Yes?

264
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.000
But is it, like, you know, the greatest thing of

265
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.399
the year. Not a chance, So I don't know there anyway,

266
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.600
pretty busy for an extra episode on a Sunday or

267
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.039
earlier today. I thought today it was gonna be a

268
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.000
holiday weekend thriller kind of day, so I dropped Daily Comedy.

269
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.200
Who's unwrapped? These stories I talked about the most during

270
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.120
the year, And if you go back and you listen,

271
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:40.840
you'll even hear me say, hey, we didn't really talk

272
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.960
about Dave Chappelle this year, and I feel like we'll

273
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.320
talk about Chappelle a lot for the remainder of the year.

274
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.679
In a normal episode in the morning that I had

275
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.200
recorded on Friday, I don't even remember what I talked about. Okay,

276
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.559
I'm gonna go enjoy my weekend, Appreciate you, thank you

277
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.080
for listening. Go watch Chappelle's special. Watch Camil too. It's

278
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.320
really good. It's just it's not number one. Hularius. Relax

279
00:12:58.639 --> 00:12:59.279
see tomorrow
