and Richard votes for Kevin Hart. The listeners have spoken,

28
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.159
Kevin Hart has been eliminated from Comedy Survivor. We won't

29
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.199
need the AI to break the tie this week. To

30
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:51.800
take a break, and we'll take a look at what

31
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.960
all this means. What a fascinating result, because there have

32
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.879
been a few comedians who almost went home and did

33
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.800
go home. It's go at Coska is a Comedy Survivor.

34
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.520
She's in danger every week, but she is still here.

35
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.719
The AI analysis says this was not a subtle vote.

36
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.960
Kevin Hart didn't get clipped in a split. He got

37
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.879
a full multi line pileon now this is interesting. AI

38
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.080
is rating you guys. Are you ready now? If you

39
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:20.159
want to be part of this, If you want a

40
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.120
shout out, go to the Facebook group, Daily Company News

41
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.479
podcast group and vote this week. I didn't tell the

42
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.680
AI to do this. I'll tell you what I do here.

43
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.400
I do the votes live. I go to the Facebook

44
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.879
group and I hit all comments and I do it live.

45
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.520
Then I asked the AI to check my work. All

46
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.120
I wrote was tally the votes, and itally the votes

47
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.680
for me, and then I wrote quote, okay, give me

48
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.479
the AI analysis, and all on its own, guys, it

49
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.840
wrote who drove the vote? The power block right now

50
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.560
is if I say your name here, you're part of

51
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.280
the power block. According to artificial intelligence. The power block

52
00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:01.560
right now is Dylan an early anchor vote, Aaron momentum

53
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:07.000
and persuasion. Richard closer vote that legitimizes the outcome. I

54
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.080
love this. We are now focused on the listeners. Is

55
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.919
there an alliance between Dylan, Aaron and Richard to steer

56
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:21.000
the results of Comedy Survivor How Much Fun? Here's the

57
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:26.519
updated power rankings safe Tig Nataro and John Mulaney. I

58
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.920
can't recall have we had a vote for Malani yet.

59
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.000
If we had, we've had one strong position. Bert Kreischer

60
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.120
and Nikki Glazer. I don't think Bert has had a

61
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.680
vote yet. Still in trouble, Otsko at Kotzka and Leslie

62
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.399
Jones and Sarah Silverman has moved into the in trouble list.

63
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.120
According to the AI, here's what you're going to do.

64
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.279
You're going to go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy

65
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.199
News Podcast Group. You were going to clearly vote for

66
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.920
one person. You will say, I am voting this person off.

67
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.279
A couple of people were like super explicit about it.

68
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.439
Both the AI and I appreciate it. Be super clear.

69
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.800
We don't need controversies. I have enough stress in my life.

70
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.319
I might even have cherry duty. Yeah, it was a

71
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.560
two week district court thing. I might be sitting in

72
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.160
