Conan Daytime Talk Idea, Matt Friend's BOMB and Rob Schneider gets destroyed

Show Notes
Transcript

Nikki Glaser joked about Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriends at the 2026 Golden Globes, told Jimmy Fallon she sends flowers to joke targets, and said DiCaprio replied with three baskets of pasta. Conan O’Brien riffed about buying late-night NBC airtime, then joked about launching a syndicated daytime talk show; Jeff Ross confirmed a past, previously unreported meeting for a 30-minute daytime pitch. Mac plays a CNN “America Laughs” clip of Matt Friend that he says bombs, then contrasts it with a Mateo Lane clip trashing a 2019 Springfield, Massachusetts club; MGM Springfield and the mayor declined comment. He discusses Netflix Is a Joke Festival emails promoting free popup tickets amid reports of slow sales and checks ticket availability/prices for several shows. Other items: a Defector review of a boring, politically tinged Rob Schneider set; David Cross says he won’t do more Alvin and the Chipmunks films; Lisa Lau’s debut special; Emil Joaquin’s upcoming Netflix special; a Portland dog-based dating show; and WABE’s interview with Funny AF contestant Daniel Llano.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.720
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.880
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:14.880
and daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.320
comedy industry. A sentence the Algorithm loves. I've been having

5
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.800
fun doing the show lately. I mean, I always enjoy

6
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.000
doing the show, but I feel like different names have

7
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.039
been coming up, except for me talking about Nicki Glazer

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.079
every day. But you know, like yesterday, I had just

9
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.160
like different people in the mix. That always freshens it

10
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.640
up for even me. But let's talk about Nicki Glazer.

11
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.359
She was on the Tonight show because of course she

12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.880
was her PR team getting it done, the agent's getting

13
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.600
it done America saying we're done. I think, I don't know,

14
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.640
kind of getting that vibe anyway. Nicki Glazer name dropped

15
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.000
Leonardo DiCaprio, as one does. At the twenty twenty six

16
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.439
Golden Globes. Nicki Glazer said, what a career, Leonardo DiCaprio

17
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.399
has had countless iconic performances, You've worked with every great director,

18
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.960
You've won three Golden Globes and an Oscar And the

19
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.880
most impressive thing is you were able to accomplish all

20
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.560
this before your girlfriend thirty, which is a fantastic joke. Well,

21
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.959
we learn that Nicki Glazer sent Leo flowers. She told

22
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.439
Jimmy Fallon after I do it a joke. I always

23
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.200
send flowers to everyone that it made fun of. That

24
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.239
was a good sport about it, which shows everybody just

25
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.200
to say thank you, because it's part of why I'm

26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.560
successful at it. The only person who sent something back

27
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.719
to me was Leonardo DiCaprio. He sent me three baskets

28
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.680
of pasta as a thank you. So funny, so good,

29
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.159
and part of me was like, does Leo want to smash?

30
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.120
Which is discheeing up a joke, because no, Nikki, you're

31
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:36.280
over thirty. Conan O'Brien started joking about returning to NBC.

32
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.040
Conan was kind of goofing around with the idea that

33
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.599
CBS is selling Stephen Colbeer's soon to be former timeslot

34
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.599
off to the highest bidder. Conan said, well, wait a minute,

35
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.439
you're saying I could go back to NBC. They'd probably

36
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.680
let me go on at like three in the morning

37
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.439
if I bought the time. His producer Jeff said, nif that,

38
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.560
and ConA said, okay, four in the morning, I could

39
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.040
give the Farm Report. Can my production company by the

40
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.120
four o'clock time slot on NBC and create her own

41
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.640
show and sell all that sweet advertising money that would

42
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.480
be coming in at four am. Conan took that a

43
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.879
little further and said, I think I'd be great in daytime.

44
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.080
I think housewives would love me. Now, this is interesting,

45
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.080
His producer said, Conan had that opportunity. Ross reminded Conan

46
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.599
before we went to TBS, we took a meeting with

47
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.039
these guys at Debmore Mercury and they wanted to do

48
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.039
a daytime show. When we learned that Debmore Mercury's past

49
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.680
and present daytime TV titles include The Wendy Williams Show

50
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.840
and Sherry, Conan said, I'd be so lovable and fun

51
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.000
as a daytime talk show host. A different producer said,

52
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.080
as you've aged, your audience has stayed very young. You

53
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.479
have a very young, mobile, digital first audience. Conan said,

54
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.240
how dare you tell me of aged? This makes me

55
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.400
want to shut down the podcast on the HBO Travel

56
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.840
Show immediately because I'm very reactive. I'm launching a daytime

57
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.680
talk show. This is hilarious. God, it said, It's syndicated,

58
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.960
and yes it'll do terribly, but we get to own

59
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.280
how terribly it does. I'd kind of love to see that,

60
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.199
wouldn't you. A late night er spoke to Jeff Ross

61
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.360
on the side. Ross confirms that the previously unreported meeting

62
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.879
did indeed happened. The pitch would have been for Conan

63
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.240
to host a thirty minute syndicated show. So it's been

64
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.400
coming up on the show lately, the topic of bombing boy.

65
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.520
Listen to this. This is from CNN's America Laughs with

66
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.560
Matt Friend. Dude, America did not Laugh with Matt Friend.

67
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.120
In the Facebook group, Jeff and I were going back

68
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.479
and forth wondering if this was an example of the

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.120
crowd being micd or not. And I've gone back and

70
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.560
I've listened. The crowd is miked. Here off this first joke,

71
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.360
you will hear a laugh. It will be the last

72
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.159
laugh that you hear. And I also suspect, just having

73
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:41.000
been in studios for thirty years, I think maybe perhaps

74
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.840
possibly that's a producer laughing extra loud to goose the room.

75
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.479
I've done that personally, I've clapped extra loud to gooser room,

76
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.080
and I think that's what's going on here. But here,

77
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.919
please suffer with me as we listen to America does

78
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.639
not laugh with Matt Friend from CNNA political comedy special,

79
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.000
Who boy listen to this?

80
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.840
I am gen Z. We cannot go to war. I

81
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.120
look like if Pickleball was a person. Okay, I look

82
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.319
like the youngest Kushner brother. I look like I'm in

83
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.879
a business club with Baron Trump at NYU. I am

84
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.040
not equipped for battle. I had an anaphylactic food allergy

85
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.560
as a kid. What am I supposed to fight with

86
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.399
my EpiPen like? I'm not afraid of a grenade. I'm

87
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.279
afraid of cross contamination. Not a terrorist but a loaf

88
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.560
of bread. We have no iconic Americans to send to

89
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.279
war either, gen Z, Like previous generations sent Elvis Presley

90
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.000
and Clint Eastwood to war. But who do we have?

91
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:43.160
Benson Boone and Timothy Shallomey backflipping and Iran? My generation,

92
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.879
every moment is an opportunity for content, Like we would

93
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.319
do a fit check at the battle when it starts.

94
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.800
I'd get there. Hey, guys, just got to Iran. Check

95
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:58.120
it out. Custom camera pants Dara, Yes, bullet proof vests,

96
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:04.720
thrifted boots from Sheen. It's giving dystopian sleigh. Yes, we

97
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.959
would find out we're drafted through an Instagram reel or

98
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.480
a TikTok like I'd be naked on my couch doom scrolling.

99
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.319
Nothing beats a jet too, holiday, You're going to war

100
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.360
next week? What is happening right now?

101
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.079
Yikes? Okay, now, how can we dust this off? Do

102
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.160
you have anything actually funny? John I do? Mass Live

103
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.759
noticed that Matteo Lane had posted on Facebook now here

104
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:32.800
Matteo Lane is saying mean things about Springfield, Massachusetts. Mass

105
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.839
Live tells us that the references here are to the

106
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.240
Roorer Comedy Club at MGM Springfield, where Matteo Lane performed

107
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.399
for four nights back in twenty nineteen. Check your calendar. Apparently,

108
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.959
the Rorer Comedy Club is a refurbished armory inside the

109
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.240
Casinos Plaza. This is the opposite of mad friend. This

110
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.199
is funny. I did make an edit here to eliminate

111
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.000
a word that rhymes with maggot.

112
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.399
The worst place I ever perform is anyone from Springfield, Massachusetts. Okay,

113
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.480
let's talk. So the people are trashed, the town is trashed,

114
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.680
the food is trashed, the cars are trashed. When the

115
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.079
clouds move over, the town. They become trash and I

116
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.920
was forced to work in this weird castle they converted

117
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.360
into a comedy show. It was also, by the way,

118
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.519
all castles are gay. Nope, am I wrong? Their castles

119
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.959
are gay. No, straight guys like I want to tolerate

120
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.560
that is a gay thing. And I love castles as

121
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.480
a kid. I like a lot of books on castles,

122
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:34.319
and they're gay. It's like Modes Wizard's Secrets. So anyway,

123
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.759
there I am at medieval times and I'm just remember

124
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.560
medieval times like, oh God, like I get okay, so

125
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.480
I know. So anyway, there I was, and I was

126
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:49.560
first of all, there was like sixty people in the audience.

127
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.000
There was in huge rooms like just echoey and terrible,

128
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.079
and I was gonna bomb and no one kneho I was.

129
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.160
So I did my stupid joke right the like mateial

130
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.680
Lane and I walk out. I'm like, hi, thanks so much.

131
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.040
I'm obviously gay. And then this guy just stood up

132
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:06.040
and went nope and walked out. I know, which is

133
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.480
fine if you want to be there, that's fine. But

134
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.040
the whole time I was on stage, I just kept

135
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.879
thinking myself, I'm like, what did you think I was?

136
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:21.839
Going to do for a whole hour. It's just thanks

137
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.399
so much and obviously gay.

138
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:28.000
Close the doors. Mass Live MGM Springfield declined to comment

139
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.360
on the video. According to mass Live, they also tell

140
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.759
us Springfield Mayor Dominic Sarno did not respond to a

141
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.439
request for comment about Mateo Lane not enjoying his four

142
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.600
nights in Springfield. Back in twenty nineteen, some people in

143
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.879
the industry are talking about this email that we got

144
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.399

Bears five K Thoms, the Goren Bird Krascher's thing at

157
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.040
the Rose Bowl. I can just claim tickets and join

158
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.639
that five K. Dimitri Martin is also a painter at

159
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.279
the Fairfax Art Gallery. You can claim tickets to that,

160
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.399
and then there's a big and so many more sections.

161
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.039
So not sure what's going on here. Some people are

162
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.279
suggesting that maybe Netflix just wants to take over the

163
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.679
city for a little bit. Now, this particular story you're

164
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:53.159
hearing right now, I'm recording on Saturday morning. I've previously

165
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.279
shared with you the Deadline noticed that tickets weren't going well.

166
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.240
Here's a random show Shane Gillison friends at the Hollywood

167
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.759
Bowl on Mayson. That seems like that could be cool, right,

168
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.960
let me pop on here. Yep, I'm on ticketmaster dot com.

169
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.080
If you want to sit in section five, Row ninety,

170
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.360
standard ticket fifty nine thirty and there appears to be

171
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.759
a lot of tickets available for Shane gillis not picking

172
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.240
on him, just Deadline had put this on my radar.

173
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.240
Let's see if he wanted to see Dusty Sleigh at

174
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.440
the Troubadoor just for a random show to click on.

175
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.200
That one is sold out, all right, Let's pick one

176
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.559
more random show. I want to say how my Flight

177
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.240
of the Concords are doing. Sold out at the Greek Theater.

178
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.440
I wonder how that's doing on the secondary market. Two

179
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.759
shows May ninth and tenth, both sold out. Now this

180
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.320
is interesting. Now, remember I had told you tickets were

181
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.600
six hundred and ten dollars, and I've been making a

182
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.799
big deal about that. Now I'm on sea geek here

183
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.440
and I can get into Flight of the Concords. It'd

184
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:46.639
be sitting all the way in the back, but I

185
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.799
can get in for ninety four dollars, so not six

186
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.720
hundred and ten. There are There is a six hundred

187
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.039
and seven dollars ticket available front and center. But you

188
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.600
could get into this thing for buck twenty five if

189
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.120
you wanted to row double e two tickets for one

190
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:05.320
hundred and twenty seven dollars including fees from Defector just

191
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.399
a wonderful headline. The headline is a Rob Schneider comedy show.

192
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.960
Maybe long and expensive, but at least it's boring. Let's

193
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.000
unpack this. This was one of my favorite things. I

194
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:17.399
tried to get this in over the weekend, but it

195
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.519
was pretty busy. I've had this as the lead story

196
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.600
in episodes, but let's do this here. This is fun,

197
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.799
Defector Rights. On the afternoon of April ninth, twenty twenty six,

198
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.480
partisans of the Alberta Separatist Movement scored a major endorsement.

199
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.879
Rob Schneider posted on Twitter. I officially recognized the new

200
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.200
independent nation of Alberta and its separation from the People's

201
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.240
Republic of Canada and the socialist morons in Ottawa, Okay.

202
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.120
Defector Rights time has not been particularly kind to Schneider's

203
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.639
brand of catchphrase comedy. Like a lot of ostensible celebrities

204
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.519
in Trump Land, Schneider has become more valuable for his

205
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.200
political alignment than anything to do with his work. He's

206
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.919
like if kid Rock were funny, except he's also not

207
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.559
really that funny, Defector Rights. You got the feeling that

208
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:01.840
people tend to like them material because they aligned with

209
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.519
the guy. So it makes sense that a Rob Schneider

210
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.559
comedy concert would also feel like more of a political

211
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.080
event than a cultural one. I love this, Defector, writes Rivers.

212
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.240
Casino in Philadelphia is pretty close to my house, where

213
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.960
further away I might have hesitated to go see Schneider perform,

214
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:16.799
but my wife was out of town, and I had

215
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.240
accrude enough of the casino's rush rewards points to earn

216
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:20.919
a free slice of pizza and a bottle of beer,

217
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.720
So what the hell? The gig drew a mostly white,

218
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.679
mostly male, mostly middle aged crowd myself included lots of

219
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.480
guys wearing golf bolos woven in a range of moisture

220
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.919
wicking synthetics. One man sported the rare double wallet chain,

221
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.000
and more than a few with air jails spiking up

222
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.320
the last whists of gray hair, clinging to the front

223
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.519
of their domes, wearing sunglasses wrapped around the back of

224
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.159
their heads in case it suddenly got super sonny. At

225
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.159
eight pm in April in Philadelphia, Indoors Schneider took the

226
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.320
stage in a black fedora and a shimmering olive green

227
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.559
suit and saluted the freest country in the world, the

228
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.360
United States of America. Defector tells us. Freedom in this

229
00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.960
case was expressed with a battery of half form rip,

230
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.120
touching on stock stereotypes and some fresh racial prejudices. Fans

231
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.000
of voice comedy were treated to all the hits Mexican voice,

232
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:12.879
old black lady voice, Japanese man voice, Vietnamese manicurist voice,

233
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.600
Southeast Asian or East Indian voice, and of course everyone's

234
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.480
favorite gay guye voice. There were or slurs, f slurs,

235
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.679
dusty jokes about tipping. There was nothing about Alberta separatism.

236
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.720
The worst Obama impression I've ever heard was followed and

237
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.720
turned by the worst Trump impression I've ever heard. Greg

238
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.799
Gutfeld's name raised cheers. Robert de Niros Drew Booze. To

239
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.039
be fair, the defector guy says, I did laugh precisely twice,

240
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.480
once at a joke about single use straws, which Snyder

241
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.320
pointed out are not actually single use. You can drink

242
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.360
from them and they could choke a turtle to death. Okay, no,

243
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:49.080
not bad. Rob definitely told it better. And a second time,

244
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.919
when a long boring bit about self service Korean barbecue

245
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.360
restaurants paid off with a punchline about a Korean whorehouse.

246
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.960
His words were reminded where the client tell are invited

247
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.360
to do some things to themselves. Still, a pair of

248
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.000
chuckles is a pretty pitiable hit rate for a show

249
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.720
that's stretched to an eternity like ninety minutes. As some

250
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.600
of the audience petered out, others carried on full volume

251
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.919
conversations and some seem to actually nod off. David Cross

252
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.519
says he's not gonna appear in anymore Alvin of the

253
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.879
Chipmunks movies. David Cross has appeared in the first three

254
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.720
live action Alvin in the Chipmunks films from twenty seven

255
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.279
to twenty eleven. So I don't know if there's another

256
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.120
one coming. It's been fifteen years. You never know. They

257
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.679
could reboot it. But anyway, David Cross isn't going to

258
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.159
be part of this. In a new interview, he said

259
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.200
I would never work with any of those people again

260
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.679
for the rest of my life. They were just so

261
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.600
awful to me. I don't know what the deal was,

262
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.399
but right for the beginning, I was in London because

263
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:44.799
we've been asking for a year, like, am I going

264
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.799
to be another movie? Because they knew they were going

265
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.039
to do a third one? Am I going to be

266
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.159
in it? I was in pre production for a show

267
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:51.960
Todd Margaret, and I'm there with my now wife and

268
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.000
basically living there. We're writing when in pre production fifty

269
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.159
to seventy five people depended on me and the show's

270
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.120
going for their jobs, and we asked and asked nast.

271
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:01.200
We don't no, no, we're not sure. It could be

272
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.159
maybe we don't know. My phone rang I know that's

273
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.000
my manager, my agent, my lawyer, and this is only

274
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.759
going to be really good news, really bad news. There's

275
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.639
nothing in between. My manager goes, hey, you sitting down.

276
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.279
They're gonna use you in the third Chipmunks movie. They

277
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.000
need you to get on a plane on January third.

278
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.240
This is around Christmas. What that's in a couple of days.

279
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.399
It was just crazy. They were doing like crappy things

280
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.759
on purpose. Out today on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla,

281
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.879
Lisa Lau she'll have her debut special, Silky Smooth. It's

282
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.600
available for exclusive early access on the Gorilla Silky Smooth,

283
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.840
Lisa explores the chaotic stages of adulthood, scheduling fun plans

284
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.600
with tired friends, the unfair treatment of single people, being

285
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.519
attracted to silly men, and the fear of being a

286
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.200
role model to her pretend children. Emil Joachim, remember he

287
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.759
was on SNL. I kind of didn't realize he wasn't

288
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.759
on SNL anymore until I saw this article. He got

289
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.840
a Netflix special. They're gonna tape in October. Premiere date

290
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.039
to be announced. He will also be the Netflix as

291
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.519
a Joke comedy coming up very soon from Axios, your

292
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.279
home for comedy news. A new Portland dating show uses

293
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.039
dogs to make matches. I kind of hit the word

294
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.120
dogs there the way Norm McDonald would have. All Right,

295
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.679
here's how this works. If you're a Portlander who is

296
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:19.080
romantically and emotionally available and you have a friendly dog,

297
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.159
you can audition for about twenty slots at Migration Brewery

298
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:27.080
at the end of May. Comedian Andy Mann says she

299
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.120
is screening out psychos. Here's how it's going to work.

300
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.879
You're all gonna go to a farm later this summer

301
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.399
and all the dogs will be released at once. Matches

302
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.120
are made based on which dogs play and naturally vibe together.

303
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.159
Six people will be chosen to go on film dates,

304
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.679
plus you'll go under a makeover. Main said the dates

305
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.159
aren't necessarily meant to spark romantic love. It's just two

306
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.360
people who are meeting because their dogs brought them together.

307
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.200
If any long term relationships come from it, that's awesome.

308
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.080
And you're watching the Kevin Hart funny af thing? Is

309
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.279
that what it's called? John? You hosts the show. I

310
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.679
don't know Kevin Hart comedy competition thing Netflix. Wabe caught

311
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.360
up with Daniel and Delano, who's one of the contestants.

312
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.879
Daniel describes his own comedy as honest, sometimes too honest,

313
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.279
conversational style. There's so many great comedians in Atlanta, and

314
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.840
for them to pick me, I thought it was really cool.

315
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.240
It was an honor. He taped his set for Funny

316
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.080
af in Chicago. He said, it was my first time

317
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.159
in Chicago. It was cool seeing Kevin Hart there. It

318
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.000
was just a really fun experience. I'm doing this because

319
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:26.960
I enjoy what I like to do. I enjoy putting

320
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.919
