Conan O’Brien’s ‘Greaser’ Hair, David Letterman in Montreal, and Kevin Hart’s ‘72 Hours’

Conan O’Brien’s ‘Greaser’ Hair, David Letterman in Montreal, and Kevin Hart’s ‘72 Hours’

Poolside host Johnny Mac covers fan reactions to Conan O’Brien’s slicked-back “Greaser Conan” hair on his podcast with Molly Shannon, including jokes likening him to a drug lord. He reports on David Letterman’s Montreal Comedy Festival appearance featuring Paul Shaffer, a big Canadian flag, “O Canada,” jokes apologizing for American leaders, remarks that Canada is not for sale, guest Will Arnett (SmartLess, Arrested Development, BoJack Horseman), a Will Arnett-themed top 10 list, and a closing singalong of “Takin’ Care of Business” including French lyrics. Mac notes Netflix’s Kevin Hart film “72 Hours,” Hart’s barbs at LeBron James, and Cosmo/Hola interviews with Ben Marshall and Marcello Hernandez about the movie and comedy. He previews Weird Al’s tour setlist and the Just for Laughs schedule, makes Comedy Stock Market “buys,” and plugs upcoming Rory Scovel and Whitmer Thomas specials plus Brian Bates’ new special.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.839
Calorogas shark media, Conan O'Brien is being compared to a

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.119
drug lord. Hello from poolside. I'm Johnny Mack with your

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.960
daily comedy news. You VNDX of nine eighty five degrees out.

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.719
We are by the pool. Did you watch Conan O'Brien's

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.359
podcast with Molly Shannon? People are like, what's with the hair? Conan?

6
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.839
You know he is the pompadour. His hair is usually poofy. No,

7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.320
it was slicked back. What's with that? One fan asked

8
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:32.359
in the YouTube comments, we all click for the hair

9
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.079
and there's no explanation. Slick back hair was called greaser

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.799
Conan by fans. The comments section was awesome. This reminds

11
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:41.079
me maybe we'll do it tomorrow to go into the

12
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.520
bill Burg comments section, which is differently awesome. Social media

13
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.240
user comments included what does he look like? I'm about

14
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.920
to be sold to used Kia Sarrento. Pretty sure this

15
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.079
guy drives a New York cab. Hey, I got Conan's

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.240
hair wrong. Conan is dead. This is his doppelganger, Conan

17
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.159
looking like your Irish uncle who shows you how to

18
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.200
steal guests from car and gives you a flick knife

19
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:02.880
and tells you to keep it a secret from mom

20
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.840
straight off hoour moos closing has led to Conan's pampador

21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.280
deflating and greez er Conan isn't real, he can't hurt you.

22
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.359
Page six says Conan O'Brien's rep did not immediately respond

23
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.920
to their request for comment. Meanwhile, David Letterman he used

24
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.200
to host twelve thirty on NBC. So did Conan O'Brien.

25
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.599
For some reason, Seth Myers so said these days that

26
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.959
doesn't make any sense right, No, make twelve thirty great again.

27
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.719
David Letterman was at the Montreal Comedy Festival and the

28
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.040
folks at Beats ninety two point five were there. They

29
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.040
say the room was buzzing from the start, but things

30
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.319
escalated quickly when our good friend Paul Shaver pointed to

31
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.760
the ceiling, prompting production to lower a massive Canadian flag

32
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.239
over the stage. Paul Schaeffer and the guy from the

33
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.040
Montreal Canadians who sings the anthem led the audience in

34
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.239
a version of O Canada. The guys from ninety two

35
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.920
to five tell us Letterman was in prime form, leaning

36
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.560
into his signature dry wit, He jokingly offered multiple apologies

37
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.120
for their American leader. Send your letters to David Letterman.

38
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.159
He is, after all, a letter man. Get it. Yes? Aha.

39
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.519
Dave delighted the local crowd with pointed, humorous remarks, reassuring

40
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.479
everyone that Canada is not for sale. We'll say outcomes.

41
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.560
Will Arnett's the guest. They'd talked about his comedy career,

42
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.439
the SmartLess Podcast, his time on Arrested Development, his time

43
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.599
being married to Amy Poehler, and the existential depth of

44
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.680
his character on BoJack Horseman. We also learned that his

45
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.199
father used to be the CEO of Mulson Brewery. Hey,

46
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.919
it's Scott the Neighbor. Hi, Scott the Neighbor. I'm recording

47
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:32.120
my podcast. Scott's cleaning up some trees out there. I

48
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.039
told you it's a poolside edition. Will Arnett came out

49
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.639
and capped off the night with a classic late night

50
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.080
top ten list of things that sound cool when Will

51
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.680
Arnett says it. Will Arnette then read the top ten

52
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.479
phrases in his infamous Will Arnett voice. Paul Schaeffer comes

53
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.280
back out leads the audience into a performance of Bachmann

54
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.479
Turner Overdrives taking care of business. Then they did a

55
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.479
second rendition with French lyrics I won't butcher those for you.

56
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.520
Ninety two five gives it a ten out of ten.

57
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.639
You know it's out on Netflix today. Hey, is Kevin

58
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.039
Hart's seventy two Hours. This is the movie in which

59
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.719
Kevin Hart, who's forty seven years old, pretends to be

60
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.439
forty and gets invited out for a weekend with some

61
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.520
young guys, including Marcelo Hernandez. Why the character has to

62
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.280
be forty and not forty seven, ask Kevin Hart. Before

63
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.960
we get to that, Kevin Hart has been trading barbes

64
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.800
with NBA star Lebron Jeames. Kevin Hart was on The

65
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.120
Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and said bleep him and

66
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.360
meaning Lebron James, not Jimmy Fallon. Why would he curse

67
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.120
out Jimmy Fallon of Lebron. He's a cheater, He's a

68
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.520
dishonest golfer. I had more love for Lebron before he

69
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.599
started all this. I'm adding another year. I'm going to

70
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.560
another team. I don't care what that man's doing with basketball.

71
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.520
He's messing up our golfer team. I don't want to

72
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.719
play basketball at all because he's messing up our schedule.

73
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.919
He's messing up our schedule. Man, This whole new team

74
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.879
thing's gonna throw a schedule off. In seventy two Hours,

75
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.879
in which forty seven year old Kevin Hart plays a

76
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.319
forty year old hanging out with young guys like Marcelo

77
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.520
Hernandez and Ben Marshall, Ben Marshall got a nice fluff

78
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.840
piece from Cosmo, a glow up. I will call it

79
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.680
nice job, Ben Marshall's agent. Ben Marshall tells Cosmo it's

80
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.719
boring and obvious, but I really just love comedy. I

81
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.639
love laughing with my friends. I feel so lucky that

82
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.280
I get to make stuff with people that I like

83
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.960
and laugh all the time. I'm trying to think of

84
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.719
anything else I could tell you about myself that's remotely interesting, Cosmo,

85
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.240
said Seth Myers, who, for some reason as a twelve

86
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.600
thirty show I don't understand either, pointed out how often

87
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.920
you were shirtless this past season on SNL and shirtless

88
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.160
in the seventy two Hours trailer. Cosmo was like, you're

89
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.399
trying to get a Cosmo centerfold like Burt Reynold's voice

90
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.279
of the comedy stock Market. Ben said, Yeah, everything was

91
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.800
very calculated. Now. I never imagined myself taking my shirt

92
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.600
off in anything. Then it just kind of happened. It

93
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.680
was funny shooting seventy two Hours where we knew that

94
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.480
we had our shirts off, but we were shooting that

95
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.199
part toward the end of the summer, so all summer

96
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.439
we were obsessed with what we were eating and working out.

97
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.399
We learned that Ben Marshall likes basketball and used to play,

98
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.920
but picked theater over basketball. Ben said, I guess there

99
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.720
was a moment in high school I was like really

100
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.120
getting into making videos on YouTube and photography, so I

101
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.439
switched to this arts high school in Savannah called Savannah

102
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.879
Arts Academy. I didn't really do much theater or anything

103
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.959
we had, but it would always act in videos that

104
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.720
we were making as for seventy two Hours, He says.

105
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.560
Kevin Hart is the nicest guy in the world. It

106
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.519
was kind of crazy. He was improvising so much and

107
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.199
setting us up to improvise. Sometimes older comedians don't give

108
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.120
it up as much, but he really gives it up.

109
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.000
Cosmo asked Ben Marshall, and it seems like we're setting

110
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.399
him up to be a heart throb. I mean, if

111
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.639
we have him as a heart throb, and Marcelo Hernandez

112
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.319
is a heart throb. This is some movie, Ben, describe

113
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.560
your ideal date. Ben says, go to the loudest part,

114
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.000
or you can find no conversation, or see a long

115
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.519
film no conversation. Then you each go home to your

116
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.920
own apartments and you go to sleep early. He told

117
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.160
a story about dating my freshman year of college. I

118
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.720
was still dating my high school girlfriend, who was a

119
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.439
senior in high school spring break. I flew home to

120
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:39.759
go to prom with her, and she breaks up with

121
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.720
me immediately, but she still wants me to go to

122
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.680
prom with her. I'm like, this is crazy. I'm gonna

123
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.360
go play basketball, blow off some steam. Then I sprained

124
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.439
my ankle, so I met my old high school prom

125
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.800
with my ex girlfriend on crutches, hobbling around. Just the saddest,

126
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.480
most pathetic site. No hard feelings though, and if you're

127
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.279
reading this, you know who you are. It's all love.

128
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.720
Hold On Magazine asked Marcelo Hernandez what it was like.

129
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.879
We're with a generation of young comedians. Marcello said, from

130
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.480
day one all the way through the finish, they were

131
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.839
hungry comics and hungry comedic actors seizing an opportunity. It's

132
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.879
a great thing to be part of an R rated comedy.

133
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.120
It's been some time since we've been back in this space.

134
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.680
Kevin Hardy added, Oh my god, I can't believe I'm

135
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.439
doing a movie. Those are feelings I don't have as

136
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.079
much because I've been doing it for so long. But

137
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.079
it was refreshing to be around this new generation that

138
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.319
has it. It made me just hungry. Marcelo said of Kevin,

139
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.360
He's much more experienced than I am, so I wanted

140
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.759
to learn from him. Being around someone like Kevin was incredible.

141
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.839
I paid attention to everything he did because I wanted

142
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.800
to absorb as much as I could. Working with him

143
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.439
was a blessing. Now, you may recall earlier in the week,

144
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.079
Marcelo Hernandez did a Kevin Hart impression. Kevin Hart has

145
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.319
now done a Marcelo Hernandez impression, and he pretty much

146
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:49.720
captures it. No socks, no socks. I don't need socks

147
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:55.360
because I Dominican. I Dominican. We don't wear socks. We

148
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.560
don't need socks. Yep, nailed it tomorrow in Montreal. It's

149
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.680
that weird. Al concert Al had recently spoken to the

150
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.319
Pittsburgh City Paper. They credited Al with popularizing song parodies.

151
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.839
Al said, actually, Alan Sherman had three number one albums

152
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.800
doing parody songs. And our national anthem is a parody song,

153
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.680
you know now, I look that up. The National Anthem

154
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.519
is sung to the tune of a pre existing song

155
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.959
that was the theme song of a Gentleman's club. Interestingly enough,

156
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.199
but it's not really a parody song. It just uses

157
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.399
the melody. It's not like the Star Spangled Benner is

158
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.879
like goofing on some other song. Al said, I think

159
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.800
because I got that early leg up on MTV, I

160
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.720
kind of became the brand name of parody songs. The

161
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.319
Xerox are Kleenux if you will. Al's last album was

162
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.120
in twenty fourteen, Mandatory Fun. I remember the day that

163
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.399
came out. I went for a run. I remember listening

164
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.199
to it. I could tell you exactly where I was

165
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.199
when I was listening to Mandatory Fun way back in

166
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.959
twenty fourteen. Since then, Al's been focused on releasing singles.

167
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:52.519
He said, if I were to do parodies, it'd be

168
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.079
harder these days because we don't have quite the monoculture

169
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.759
we had in the eighties. And nineties where everybody was

170
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.279
finally a tune MTV and radio stations and Top forty

171
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.360
was still a thing. Well, if you go see the

172
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.920
Free Show on Saturday, I think we can get a

173
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.680
hint of what it will look like. We'll look at

174
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.399
last Saturday Night's Boston appearance of the Bigger and Weirder Tour.

175
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.040
The guys from Boston dot Com. We're there, they say,

176
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.560
Balladeerian Clown Puddles Pity Party kicked off the evening by

177
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.240
giving new energy to rock classics including Crazy Train. Al

178
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.240
comes out and he opens with Tacky. Let's take a

179
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.720
look at the setlist. Tacky mission statement, that's a deep cut.

180
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.959
If you know you're out, that's a good one. Poke Mania,

181
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.879
everything you know is wrong? One more minute smells like Nirvana.

182
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.360
Dear to be Stupid than at Medley Party in the CIA,

183
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.440
It's all about the Pentems, Bedrock, anthem, my Bologna, Ricky

184
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.879
O to a Superhero, I love Rocky Road, Eat it

185
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.919
like Assurgeon, word crimes and Canadian Idiot. Then onto fat

186
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.240
full version. It's my world and we're all living in it.

187
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.519
Captain Underpants theme song. Now you Know Happy Together, a

188
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.200
cover of the Turtle song not a parody. Puddles Pity

189
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.159
Party came out to sing the other half of the duet,

190
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.559
Skipper Dan eBay stop forwarding that crap to me, White

191
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.639
and nerdy and amish Paradise Nice fish Al then pretended

192
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.360
to leave and then came back out because there was

193
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.159
an encore. We all have cell phones. The saga begins,

194
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.440
and Yoda Boston dot Com said it was weird and

195
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.320
it was great on Saturdays during the summer, I'm doing

196
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.960
these deep dives. Tomorrows will be about the Joe Rogan experience,

197
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.919
and because of that, we'll do two days of the

198
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.120
Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival schedule. On Friday night,

199
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:27.039

204
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.679

205
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.799
to make it to the Mike berbigli A gala at

206
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.120

Al nine o'clock at the Place Day Festivals. I know

216
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.679
that place well. You find yourself at the Place To

217
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.600
Festivals quite often if you're at the Montreal Comedy Festival

218
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.240
at nine thirty these the Gabe Iglesias galap but you

219
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.840

show at nine thirty and then again midnight Surprise. Comedy

222
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.639
stock marketine. Thank you Bert Reynolds. If you were new

223
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.000
to this. The comedy stock market works like the real

224
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.360
stock market. You try and buy low and sell high.

225
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.159
We try to find value here and make some hypothetical

226
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.039
money on the comedians. I got a whole bunch of

227
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.399
buys that once four by six, eh buys no cells.

228
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.200
Johnny Mack, you're in a good mood. Hey, I'm sitting

229
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.679
by the pool watching neighbor Scott clear up the branches

230
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.159
from that recent storm, a terrible storm. All right, we're

231
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.120
gonna buy Marcelo Hernandez. John what you killed Marcelo Hernandez

232
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.000
all week long? And now we're buying Marcelo Hernandez. Yeah,

233
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.320
just if everybody else is gonna make this guy the

234
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.080
next Adam Sandler, I'm not gonna fight it. You guys

235
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.559
are all stupid. He's not funny, he is good looking,

236
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.879
he does one thing well. But let's buy some Mare

237
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.639
Solo Hernandez. I mean, this is all about making money. Sure,

238
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.559
we'll buy Marcelo Hernandez. Let's also buy some Ben Marshall.

239
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.440
I'd like that Cosmo preview I just read to you,

240
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.679
and you know, maybe he breaks out a little bit

241
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.000
standing next to Kevin Hard Marcello Hernandez, and people go,

242
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.320
who's that. Oh, yeah, that's the guy from Please Don't Destroy.

243
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.120
I could see Ben Marshall stepping up in class here.

244
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.360
Let's buy Shane Gillis. It's kind of like buying stock

245
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.840
and apple. You look at it and you go, it's

246
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.679
so absurdly high. How can it go up? And it

247
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:55.679
keeps going up and up and up. So even though

248
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.159
Shane Gillis is really high value, I'm buying in just

249
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.480
no stopping this guy right now. And he's very funny.

250
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.759
Let's also buy Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart likes to make money.

251
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:08.120
He's everywhere, he's got a new movie. Everything he does

252
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.519
is pretty popular. Let's buy some Kevin Hart. All right,

253
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.919
some names that might be off your radar. We're gonna

254
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.679
buy Katherine Blandford. Who's that? Just a comedian whose name

255
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.159
you should know, Catherine Blandford. This is what we do here.

256
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.000
Trust me. We're buying very low on Catherine. Keep an

257
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.799
eye on her. We're going to buy Mo Gilligan. He's

258
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.799
got that Netflix documentary Big Chicken coming out on August fifth.

259
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.759
It's basically supersized me but Chicken. But here's the thing.

260
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:35.759
And I can tell you this because I teach college classes.

261
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.639
This younger generation, you know, like you and me, we

262
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.240
knew all the old stuff, like even if we didn't,

263
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.080
like ever see a Humphrey Bogart film, we kind of

264
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.799
sort of knew who Bogart was, maybe because Bugs Bunny

265
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.440
parodied him, but we kind of knew about stuff. And

266
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.039
if you grew up in the seventies, he grew up

267
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.000
on black and white TV shows from the late fifties

268
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.080
and the sixties, so you knew the stuff that came before.

269
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.120
These kids today, unless it was on TikTok five minutes ago,

270
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.080
they don't know what it is. So they're gonna watch

271
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.120
Big Chicken. It'd be like, oh wow, this guy ate

272
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.600
one thing for a month, and us oldies are gonna go, Yeah,

273
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.480
Morgan Spurlock did that and supersize me in two thousand

274
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.840
and four, but these kids did don't know anything from

275
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.759
two thousand and four. Forget it. So we'll buy some

276
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.480
Mo Gilligan. We're gonna buy Rory Scovell. Why John, I'll

277
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.039
tell you a second. Let me finish the news, and

278
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.080
we're gonna buy Whitmer Thomas, Why John, same note, Let

279
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.440
me finish the news and I'll tell you why. All right,

280
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.360
So here's who we're buying. Marcelo Hernandez, Ben Marshall Kevin Hart,

281
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.399
Shane Gillis, Katherine Blanford, Mogillian, Rory Scovell, and Whitmert Thomas.

282
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.600
That is the comedy stock market for this week. Tomorrow

283
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.679
on this program will deep dive on the Joe Rogan Experience,

284
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.799
how it came to be and how it is so popular.

285
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.200
Saturdays this summer, I've been doing these deep dives so

286
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.639
I can actually hang out in the pool. You can

287
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.240
record pool side. You can't record pool in you know

288
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.480
what I'm saying. And I gotta tell you what today's show.

289
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.960
I came out. I wrote a bunch of scripts and

290
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.799
I was like, all right, I'll record pool Side today,

291
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.720
record a bunch of these. And then the guys who

292
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.840
come and do the gutters came and you know, they

293
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.159
had ladders and hoses and made the dogs bark, and

294
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:00.759
I'm like, all right. As much it's fun to record

295
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.240
with cicadas and planes and Scott the neighbor, you can't

296
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.279
record with all that. So I had to go back inside.

297
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.279
And now my wife texted me and she's almost going

298
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.840
to be home, so I'm only going to get to

299
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.399
record this one episode of pool Side today. It is

300
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.240
tough being a podcaster. I'll tell you that, all right,

301
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.200
why are we buying Rory Scovell. He's going to have

302
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.320
a new Netflix special. It's called Show Must Go on Tuesday,

303
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:23.039
August eleventh. It is his first new hour on Netflix

304
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.879
since twenty seventeen's Rory Scovell Tries Stand Up for the

305
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:29.120
first time. It was shot at the Neptune in Seattle, Washington.

306
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.000
We don't know what it's about yet. Interestingly enough, we

307
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.480
will buy Whitmer Thomas because he's getting an HBO special.

308
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.240
They keep dipping into the weird for what they're doing.

309
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.759
At least it's a brand unless you know, except for

310
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.759
the Mark Meron, everything else has been like weird and

311
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.000
quirky except Mark Marin. I don't know why Mark Maron

312
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.559
was on HBO other than he's great. It was a

313
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.320
great special. Now you might be like, who's Whitmer Thomas now?

314
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.879
Johnny Mack of course knew who Whitmer Thomas is, but

315
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.399
you know, just for your sake, I looked it up

316
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.320
just to explain to you who Whitmer Thomas is. I
