29
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.800
In a shocking out of nowhere vote, the Facebook group

30
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.000
has a line to vote off Ron White. Ron White

31
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.800
went from zero votes to being voted off Comedy Island.

32
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.360
No one is safe. We'll take the break and we'll

33
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.599
come back and look at the analysis. Wow, what a

34
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.159
stunning result. The votes are in. Ron White eliminated. He

35
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.919
had no votes coming into this week, and then you

36
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.400
guys are like, he's out of here. I'm also fascinated

37
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.919
by the save Tignaitaro contingent. Well, they've become a voting

38
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.719
block and a lot with whoever the trendy pick is

39
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.240
to save. Very fascinating. I've seen some people hanging back

40
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.039
until later in the week to use their vote strategically.

41
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.879
So much fun. Ron White six votes four, Leslie Jones two,

42
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.520
A bunch of others got one. The AI says Tignataro

43
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.280
is now officially the recurring alternative and that the backup

44
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.240
target often becomes the main target the following week. However,

45
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.360
will people sacrifice Leslie Jones to save tig Nataro? Very

46
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:33.400
very fascinating. Legacy comics are vulnerable so far. Who's gone out?

47
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.520
Or Amy Schumer, Adam Sandler, Ron White and Joe Coy

48
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.280
one time, most of the Golden globes, So I don't

49
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.319
have time for that, The AI says, once the name

50
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.280
of pears, it keeps appearing. So that's interesting because we

51
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.520
had a few first time votes today. Organized blocks win.

52
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.159
You don't need the room, you need your people, According

53
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.400
to the AI, who looks safe right now Gaffigan, Nikki

54
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.840
Glazer Kevin Hart, Sarah Silverman, Sebastian Manaskalco. But I'm looking

55
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.879
back to last week's AI analysis and the AI said

56
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.039
Ron White was safe and thought the front runner for

57
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.240
being in trouble this week was Tignataro. Not too far

58
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.280
off the mark. The AI's guessed at who is in

59
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.040
trouble this upcoming week Tignataro, Leslie Jones, Jay Leno. If

60
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.000
the group finally decides it's time to pull the trigger

61
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.079
on Jay and we keep seeing Strevos for Osco at Conska,

62
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.319
here's what you're going to do. You're going to go

63
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.680
to the Facebook group. It's Daily Comedy News podcast group.

64
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.079
You're going to find a cartoon image of me extinguishing

65
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:37.040
the torch of Ron White in that thread. Vote someone off.

66
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.040
Please make it super clear that you're voting someone off.

67
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.360
All the side commentary is fine, but a nice clear sentence,

68
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.920
like my vote is makes it super easy for me

69
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.879
and the AI to check my work. The last thing

70
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.000
I want to do is have a voting controversy off

71
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.120
a silly once a week bit where we're just having

72
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.600
fun on Facebook. So let's try and avoid that. Do

Crystal clear votes Facebook group Daily comedy news podcast group.

This is so much fun to do. I love putting

75
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.399
it together. I don't like look at it and kind

76
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.199
of trend it. You know, I likely look at it

77
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:08.560
during the week just to be like, oh, look a

78
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.160
couple of Ron White votes. But I'm not keeping an

79
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.959
unofficial tally until I actually record the show in real

80
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.600
time as you hear it. If you're new to all this,

81
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.399
I'll give you the names real quick so you can

82
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.360
