00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:08.679
Callaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.560
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with an early release of

3
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.359
Monday's episode in Today's Daily Comedy News. It's about a

4
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.600
twenty pm Sunday night. I just watched Trevor Noah open

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.199
up the Grammy Awards, and, as they say in comedy,

6
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.960
he ate it. Not a good monologue at all. I

7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.000
had the laptop out and I was gonna pull clips

8
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.519
and there's nothing to pull. Really flat monologue. Now you

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.039
may recall Joe Coy hosted the Golden Globes with nine

10
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.359
days notice, if I remember correctly, and he didn't do

11
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.520
all that well, although he was much better than Trevor

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.399
was tonight. Trevor only got announced hosting this a few

13
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.159
weeks ago, so maybe there is something too needing to

14
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.600
work on these award shows for several weeks. But I

15
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.399
wish I had more to say about Trevor. I'm on

16
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.920
social media, people on Twitter and on threads and Facebook

17
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.439
as well. Nobody reacting well to Trevor and Noah's monologue.

18
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.600
It's still early. Maybe things look get better. The Grammy

19
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.359
for Best Comedy Album went to Dave Chappelle for The Dreamer,

20
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.799
his twenty twenty three New Year's Eve Netflix special. That

21
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.280
was the one where Dave joked I love punching down.

22
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.040
So I'm sure we will have Dave Chappelle reaction pieces

23
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:18.799
all week from the people who get mad that Dave

24
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.120
Chappelle even exists. This is Dave's third win in a

25
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.920
row in the category and his sixth win overall. So

26
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.319
right now he is the Tom Brady of comedy. I

27
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.840
mean six Grammys, three in a row, three peat for Chappelle. Yeah,

28
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.359
we'll break that down in the upcoming days. Nicki Glazer

29
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.239
was at the Golden Globes. She found out walking into

30
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.239
the arena she hadn't won. She said, I already lost.

31
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.400
I know what happens. They gave my award away already.

32
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.200
Dave Chappelle got it. There's no ceremony like televis so

33
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:47.959
I'm getting my hair and makeup done and it's already

34
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.319
been determined that I didn't win. The Comedy Album was

35
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.480
announced around five pm Easter and I saw it in

36
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.680
social media and Nicky said, no one texted me about it.

37
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.239
I just had the most random person in my life,

38
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.640
goes Dave Sappelle. Again, I go, what are you writing about?

39
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.239
No one on my team bad News wants to tell me.

40
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.760
They just want you to find out the hard way.

41
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.640
She was excited that Taylor Swift was gonna be there.

42
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.280
She said, Taylor's not performing, but she's presenting, so I'll

43
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.159
get to hear her talk and be poetic in that way.

44
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:11.919
So I'll take it. I just can't wait to see

45
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.599
what she's wearing. I can't wait to see her talk

46
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.400
and maybe reveal something. You know, we're used to her

47
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.800
announcing something. I'm so excited it's been a while. I

48
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.560
will not be bothering her. I'm gonna play it cool.

49
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.560
There's no need to be worried about what I'm going

50
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.439
to do, all right. More about the Grammys on Tuesday's episode.

51
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.199
In other news for US old people, Netflix announced that Eddie,

52
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.000
a new documentary about Eddie Murphy, will premiere sometime this year.

53
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.199
In Eddie, Eddie Murphy looks back on his extraordinary journey

54
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.759
and looks ahead at what's still to come. The film

55
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.520
chronicles his rise from teen comic phenom to SNL breakout

56
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.199
and stand up super nova to box office titan. I

57
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.879
wonder if Eddie will be at SNL fifty. I guess

58
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.159
he absolutely will. Especially if he's going to be promoting

59
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.719
something like this, which is a victory lap. The doc

60
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.680
illuminates the evolution of Eddie Murphy, the trails he blazed

61
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.879
and records he broke on his way from Brooklyn Upstart

62
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:02.319
to Hollywood. Icon can tell several publicists and probably an

63
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.120
agent and a manager worked on this paragraph. In the film,

64
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.759
the Oscar nominated actor opens up his home and dives

65
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.000
deep into his eclectic, nearly fifty year career. In his

66
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.039
own words, he talks about entertaining three generations of fans

67
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.759
with a filmography that spans comedy, action, drama, animation, musicals,

68
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.560
and family fair Friends. Co stars, directors, and fellow comics

69
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.039
offer insight into Murphy's singular life and career and the

70
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.439
influence that has had with breakthrough stand up films like

71
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.280
Raw Eighties Megahits, Beverly Hills, cop coming to America and

72
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.639
trading places through nineties classics like The Nutty Professor, the

73
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.520
Shrek franchise in the two thousands, to his Oscar nominated

74
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.680
performance in dream Girls. We kind of skipped the last

75
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.879
twenty years there, I see. Dream Girls came out in

76
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.000
two thousand and six. In case you're curious. I don't

77
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.719
know if you know this. Amy Schumer has got a

78
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.520
movie coming out on Wednesday, and Amy Schumer wants us

79
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.000
to talk about her, so we will. Now, how will

80
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.800
Amy get us to talk about her? Today? With this headline?

81
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.479
Amy Schumer reveals harsh joke she told Adam Sandler after

82
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.879
Adam Sandler fled from the wildfires. Now, I have the

83
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.680
clip from the tonight show. I'm going to play it

84
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.639
for you. I want you to pay close attention here.

85
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.199
Pay close attention to poor Jimmy Fallon trying to pretend

86
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.480
this is funny there with a visual Jimmy Steward that

87
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.240
the poor guy is just faking it. Here, let's listen.

88
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.600
Adam Sandler, who is I mean, the greatest.

89
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.480
What was it like working with Adam Sandler?

90
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.040
He's such a perfectionist, Like he's like, it's just what

91
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.439
you hoped it would because, I mean, obviously everyone like

92
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.839
we've all grown up watching all of his movies, and

93
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.120
it's like, don't you quote his movies like twice a

94
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.600
day by accident? Yeah, of course, no conditioner is better

95
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:44.920
like you.

96
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:47.160
Every day.

97
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.120
I did make a joke to him the other night

98
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.720
that I don't know how this is going to go.

99
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.600
But he was just you know, his family is like,

100
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.720
you know, some some people, one of the people who've

101
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.000
been affected by the wildfires, and you know, and he's

102
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.680
sitting at this dinner with us. She's like, yeah, I

103
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.879
just had to grab like two shirts and get out

104
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.959
of there. And I'm looking at his shirt and I'm like,

105
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:08.279
and you grabbed that one?

106
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:08.920
You know?

107
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.040
Did you see the Hawaii And.

108
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.639
I'm like, is that that's some one new outline? Does

109
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:19.800
you gotta make you gotta make your friends laugh? He laughed,

110
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.680
he's a good, good audience.

111
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.000
Well, we all need comedies. So we got to watch

112
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:24.480
this movie.

113
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.600
Only two more days until Kind of Pregnant. Amy Schumer's

114
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.600
movie is on Netflix on Wednesday. Can't Wait. The Sydney

115
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.639
Morning Herald caught up with Eliza Selessenger. She's going to

116
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.079
be at the Sydney Comedy Festival. That's not until April,

117
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.439
but she was doing some early press. Eliza explained, to

118
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.879
be a successful comedian, you have to come up with

119
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.040
funny observations that people can relate to. But they've never

120
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.079
heard anyone say before. She explains, we're all thinking the

121
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.199
same thing, so it's about tapping into the things people

122
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.399
were too afraid to say. How you know, it's a

123
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.680
good joke because when people confess after oh my god,

124
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.199
I also shaved my big tail, where I've also had

125
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.480
those weird thoughts about our principle or something like that.

126
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.079
The more vulnerable and honest we are as humans, the

127
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.720
more we realize just how weird and connected we all are.

128
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.480
The article tells us she's had six Netflix specials today

129
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.600
six and has built up a fan base so passionate

130
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.079
that some make art based on her work. Eliza said,

131
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.879
to see my art digested and given back to me,

132
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.040
presents it on someone's shirt or in a painting or drawing,

133
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.160
It's an incredible exchange. Although she has champions some liberal causes,

134
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.560
she explains, I think you might have an idea of

135
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:27.800
how I vote, but I kind of run down the

136
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.560
middle politically at this stage of my career. When you

137
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.439
buy a ticket to see Eliza Selesznger, you're buying a

138
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.040
ticket to escape and to feel seen, not to come

139
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.439
to a political rally. We'll save that from my online rants.

140
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.720
I definitely have the freedom to say whatever I like,

141
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.839
but because it's your freedom and you're right, doesn't mean

142
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.399
it's always a good idea. I think people have to

143
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.160
understand the intention, both the people being offended and the

144
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.240
people enjoying it. My intention is always to entertain and uplift.

145
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.839
It's never hurt anyone's feelings. When people don't watch the

146
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.319
full joke or someone's full hour, they remove intension and

147
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.399
then we're all just defending each other. I find that

148
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.279
the people most nervous about the woke stuff tend to

149
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.800
be white men who are tired of being told that

150
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.240
they're wrong. The truth is, setting out to find anyone

151
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.399
for a cheap laugh, you're probably gonna be okay at

152
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.000
the end of the day. We could all consider each

153
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.279
other a little bit more. However, on the other side,

154
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.480
I think people need to tough it up so per usual,

155
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.199
right in the middle and take no side. James Austin

156
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.360
Johnson was on Seth Meyer's show. He broke out an

157
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.319
impression of Kamala Harris. Let's listen, this is Kamala Harris

158
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:20.399
hosting a cooking competition.

159
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.560
Here we go, let's try it. I think what the

160
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.519
American people want to know is can the remaining five

161
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:33.319
chefs take these family food classics cheeseburger and fries, meat

162
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:39.120
loaf and mashed potatoes, vegetable lasagna and utilize those ingredients

163
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.680
to create a five star gourmet meal for Debbie May's

164
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.079
our Bobby Fla and Michael Rappaport. You have three hours

165
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:47.560
not bad.

166
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.319
As we recently discussed in the Facebook group, which is

167
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.120
Daily Comedy News podcast group, feel encouraged to join us

168
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.040
in conversation there. His Trump has been drifting a little

169
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.519
bit the kamala urright. I don't know what you do

170
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.000
with it, especially at this point, but okay. The La

171
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.319
Times asked Gabe Iglacy as how he got involved with

172
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.160
Funko pops. Gabe said, I wasn't a fan of them

173
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.240
at first. I didn't know what they were. Someone pulled

174
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.839
me aside and they're like, these are really popular, and

175
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.720
I'm like, it's weird looking. I started looking into it,

176
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:12.959
and the next thing I know, we make a phone

177
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.000
called a funk Go and said, hey, you guys have

178
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.240
TV Funko pops, you have movie funkel pops. You don't

179
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.160
have comedians. You guys should have comedians. There's a lot

180
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.000
of funny comics out there. I told them I'm interested

181
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.720
in being the first, and they're like, well, we know

182
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.600
who you are, but that's not a thing. Two years

183
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.279
later we tried again. They said, well, we know who

184
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.079
you are and we're not interested in licensing, but if

185
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.399
you're serious, we'll produce the figures for you, and you

186
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.080
have to buy so many and you sell them. We

187
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.279
won't even carry them in our stores, but we'll make them,

188
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.799
Gabe said, The founder of Funko, later admitted to me

189
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.759
they should have licensed my doll when they could, because

190
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.279
I sold so many. I think we're on model number eleven. Now.

191
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.759
It's about persistence. I think a lot of times people

192
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.639
give up easily. And you know, if for first you

193
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:51.759
don't succeed, try try again. From true to old Jermaine Clement,

194
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.159
you know him from Flight of the Concords, by the way,

195
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.200
I don't know if you know this. At some point

196
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.440
in my life I switched to universes. I can't explain this,

197
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.879
but like I became a slider. I'm from the universe

198
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.320
where the guy on Flight of the Concords his name

199
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.759
was Germaine. There was an R in his name at

200
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.279
some point where I'm from. But now I'm in this

201
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.000
universe where I sit in the Basement and I host

202
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.360
a podcast. But where I'm from, his name was Jermaine

203
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.480
Clement and the woman from Game of Thrones was Lena.

204
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.360
He'd lee there was an extra Ellen there where I'm from.

205
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.799
I don't know what happened. You might say Mendela effect,

206
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.240
but I'm telling you I definitely switched universes. Anyway, Jermaine

207
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.000
Clement from Flight of the Concords will star in a

208
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.840
Disney Plus comedy. All we know is it's a series

209
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.120
from the makers of Baby Reindeer. No details about the plot,

210
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.480
no details about the casting. Jeff Ross was at the

211
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.919
Creative Coalition's Washington, DC event honoring military service organizations, and

212
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.600
Ross ripped into some people who think that comedy should

213
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.200
be watered down. Jeff said, people they don't want their

214
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.480
comedy water down. They wanted potent right to the stomach,

215
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.720
and that's what I try to do. The reporter asked

216
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.279
or certain topics off limits? Jeff said, no topics are

217
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.440
off limits. Now. The kind of comedy I've always done

218
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.919
is okay for my fans. Roast fans are the most dedicated.

219
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.399
They don't care about what any fake rules are. What's

220
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.519
funny is funny. You know, there are always be people who

221
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.240
are going to pretend to be offended, but those are

222
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.120
the people that offend me, you know, hypocrites. Quick stop.

223
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.000
On gossip Corner, a source close to Pete Davison tells

224
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.840
people that Pete is still friends with pretty much all

225
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:25.000
his exes, including Kim Kardashian. The insider also shared that

226
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.679
nothing bad happened between him and Madelin Kline just ran

227
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.039
its course. He and Kim still talk occasionally. He's a

228
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.759
good guy and they root for him. Jeremy Piven's going

229
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.000
to be doing some stand up comedy this week at

230
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.200
the Arlington Improv on the seventh and eighth. Pivens says,

231
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.919
this has been an incredible journey. You have to face

232
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.000
your fears, and one of my greatest fears was stand up.

233
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.039
So for about a decade now been out there touring,

234
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.360
just getting up on stage, working through it. It's been amazing.

235
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:49.879
Being funny isn't enough. You can make people laugh, sure,

236
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.639
but standing up there alone it's a whole different game.

237
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.519
You learn real fast. Your material hast to land. You

238
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.320
have to connect. Once you get that first laugh, though,

239
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.840
it's like, okay, this is possible. He knows people think

240
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.039
they're coming to see Ari Gold. He leans into it

241
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.919
and he says, I tell stories about having guys come

242
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.879
up to me a urinal smacking on the back like

243
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.200
I'm a douchebag because of you. And he laughs and

244
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.120
says it's like, dude, I'm just trying to pee here.

245
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.440
That's your comedy news for today. If you join the

246
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.080
program and tell a friend about it and hopefully they'll

247
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.720
like it too. If you have discovered this on YouTube,

248
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.120
I set up a live twenty four to seven streaming channel.

249
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.399
It just plays like the last two weeks of podcasts

250
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.679
and some of the interview episodes in a loop. If

251
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.480
you're finding the podcast this way, hey, thanks for listening.

252
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.159
It's a daily podcast. As you figured out already, there's

253
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.480
no video. It's just audio. I get frustrated sometimes people

254
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.200
click on a thing on YouTube and there's no video,

255
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.759
and then they get mad at me that there's no video.

256
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.559
I'd never said there was a video. In fact, the

257
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.000
description even says audio podcast. But if you found this

258
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.000
on the loop, hey, welcome aboard, appreciate you. If you've

259
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.279
got a podcast app, that's a good way to consume

260
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.399
the show. It comes out at three five a m.

261
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.639
Eastern Time, seven days a week. And if you would

262
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.039
like the program without commercial interruption, there's a link in

263
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.440
the show notes how to tell you how to do that.

264
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:55.440
See here tomorrow
