1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.599
Kalaroga Shark Media busy one today and there is a

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.439
pretty large Stephen Colbert interview in GQ. I will cover

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.920
that tomorrow because it's election day. And hello, I am

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.879
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Please vote today.

5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.160
I don't care who you vote for. You gotta vote

6
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.960
or I'm gonna yell at you tomorrow if you didn't vote,

7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.800
So go vote. Hit stop on them. Why are you

8
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:28.800
even listening to me unless you're on your way to vote?

9
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.200
Go vote. As a big New York City mayoral election today,

10
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.840
Harry Condobolu told nola dot com he doesn't think there's

11
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.520
much of a Condobolu bump, but Harry Condobolu has made

12
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.840
an endorsement in the New York City mayor's race. He

13
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.039
is supporting Zoran Mumdanni. You may be familiar with Mumdanni

14
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.280
from such things as Rama Yusef playing him on Saturday

15
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.679
Night Live. We'll get into that. He's a young dude,

16
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.159
a progressive, making a lot of noise, and will probably

17
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.439
be in New York City's next mayor. Now, if you

18
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.079
don't like mister Mumdanni, go vote and vote for one

19
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.159
of the other candidates see how this works, and then

20
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.680
if you don't vote, you don't get to be mad

21
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.239
about it. Harry Condobolo said, I've known Zoran since he

22
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.560
was like eighteen years old. He went to my alma

23
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.079
mater vote in college in Maine, and his mom asked

24
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:14.400
me if i'd tell him what the school was like

25
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.920
before he went. During his four years, we kept in touch,

26
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.400
and we kept in touch after that. I did a

27
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.200
fundraiser for him when he was running for assemblymen. I've

28
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.319
known for a while this kid was special, but I'll

29
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.319
be honest, I didn't think he'd be mayor now. Harry's

30
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.000
gotten involved with New York area politics before. He has

31
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.640
told a story about AOC reaching out to him. In

32
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.519
twenty seventeen, she sent the ever so serious Harry condoboulu

33
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.760
who a direct message on Twitter. This was before she

34
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.719
was famous. She shared that she was running a grassroots

35
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.439
progressive campaign to represent Ports of Queens and the Bronx

36
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.519
and would Harry collaborate with her. He wrote back, I'm

37
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.120
pretty busy right now. When he get back to me

38
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.400
next year. He also called her Alexis in the message. Oops,

39
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.879
she won, and he said on the night she won.

40
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.760
He direct messaged her back, you did it. I knew

41
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.760
you'd win. Harry says, when candidates reach out now, I'm

42
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.439
likely to say yes when they're asking me to do it.

43
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.640
Did you watch SNL? It was a pretty good episode,

44
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.400
by far the best of the season. It opened up

45
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.240
with a mock New York City mayoral debate. Miles Taylor

46
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.199
played former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Romy Yusef was

47
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.000
Zoe ram Mandani. He joked, happy to be here, and

48
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:20.960
I'm ready to spend the next hour hearing my opponents

49
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.159
pronounce my name in ways you couldn't begin to imagine.

50
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.800
I'm probably getting it wrong. And then, shockingly to me,

51
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.840
and people don't seem to be making a big deal

52
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.800
of this, I think this is a big, big deal.

53
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.800
Shane Gillis played Curtis Sliwa. You know, the Guardian Angel

54
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.599
guy with the red beret. If you're from New York City,

55
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.319
you're like, yeah, John, we know. But maybe if you're

56
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:40.439
in an other part of the country, you don't know

57
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.759
this guy. Back in the eighties, when New York City

58
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:47.280
was basically hell, the Guardian Angels were like guys that

59
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.879
would ride the subway wearing red berets and would stick

60
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.680
up for you if bad guys were trying to do things.

61
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.520
So Curtis, like to New Yorkers, has been known forever.

62
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.520
I met him once when Bob Grant's time WOR Radio ended,

63
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.599
Curtis came by to help Bob Grant move boxes. This

64
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.560
is the only time I met Curtis Leiba on that

65
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:11.159
particular day. He was cool, But I digress. Shane Gillis

66
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.919
on SNL like it's nothing. You may recall he was

67
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.840
on the cast and then not on the cast. That's

68
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.400
the thing that happened. So I don't understand why the

69
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.280
world was like, oh yeah, Shane Gillis was on SNL,

70
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.280
like that's a big deal. Also a big deal. Now

71
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.159
here's the opening sketch. We've got Keenan Thompson as the moderator,

72
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.400
and just Keenan proves Saturday Night he is the glue.

73
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.479
I know, we all know this, but he's so good

74
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.919
at everything, steady, reliable, keeps the trains on time. So

75
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.479
he's the moderator. And then we have in the three

76
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.520
shiny spots the guest toast okay, that's fine, and two

77
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.879
people that aren't on SNL, and I'm sure somebody could

78
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.520
do a Curtis Sliwa. It's not like Shane Gillis nailed

79
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.080
the Curtis Sliwa impression, So the whole thing is weird

80
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.560
to me. Laurene Michaels, do you not trust your cast

81
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.719
because you're not using them? Towards the end of the sketch,

82
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.280
j Sames Austin Johnson came out doing his increasingly drifting

83
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.800
Donald Trump impression. He actually addressed his Trump impression with

84
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.039
The Hollywood Reporter recently and said the Sands shift he

85
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.159
used to be not as terrifying when he had moderate

86
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.960
people around him who were trying to stop him. Now

87
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.319
they're all gone, and his enemies are powerless and paralyzed

88
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.040
to stop any of it, which all comes across as

89
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.680
super dark. How do you find what's funny within that?

90
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.519
James said, I'm just trying to find new things happening

91
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.920
with his speech and his brain and definitely the darkness,

92
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.800
which is not easy with a guy who's been dominating

93
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.519
every single day for almost ten years. He says, the

94
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.160
subtlety is where the secret to his impression lies. He

95
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.680
explains Hamlet is not saying I'm gonna kill myself because

96
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.560
I suck. He says he's thinking about rivers and bones

97
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.639
and ghosts. Amid all the soliloquies, you pick up on

98
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.199
an undercurrent of really complex moral struggle. I don't want

99
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.079
to call what I'm doing Shakespeare, but I'm trying to

100
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.600
find the deeper forms of Trump, Who's a rich text.

101
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.959
People were upset with Colin Jost once again. Colin told

102
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.000
a joke about the President and wife Milania walking out

103
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.920
to the White House's Halloween festivities playing the song Thriller.

104
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.720
Joe said, my favorite part is when Trump and Millennia

105
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.199
made a grand entrance to the song Michael Jackson's Thriller

106
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.519
just the perfect soundtrack to lore kids to a famous mansion.

107
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.680
Some wonder if that's a joke joke. Others wonder if

108
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.040
that's some sort of Epstein commentary. I didn't write the joke,

109
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.399
ask SNL Like I said. Good episode. Miles Teller was

110
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.680
really good. The Property Brothers sketch was really good, and

111
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.519
James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump was really good. In

112
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.759
case you missed it, Miles Teller played both Jonathan and

113
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.160
Drew Scott. The Property Brothers stars of the HGTV show

114
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.120
Property Brothers. In the sketch, they were helping Donald Trump

115
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.920
build his new White House ballroom. There was also a

116
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.600
very funny NHL sketch based upon that there are three

117
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.920
teams in the NHL. One is the Rangers, one is

118
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.920
the Kings, and the other is Predators, and a lot

119
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.079
of the humor came from Predators. I don't want to

120
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.000
spoil it too much, but that's the setup and you

121
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.839
should watch the sketch. They're all online. I set them

122
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.839
out to my family on Sunday night when I finally

123
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.600
caught up with the episode between Football and More Football,

124
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.600
and I thought it was a pretty good episode. ALRP said, up,

125
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.199
Michael Jay. Now this wasn't on SNL. This was on

126
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.839
Instagram and Chay was commenting on snap benefits, which you

127
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.759
may know as food stamps. Chay wrote, this, Snap Freeze

128
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.560
is really fed up and I keep seeing a lot

129
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.839
of racist videos celebrating mostly black families not being able

130
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.720
to buy groceries. There's this weird idea that's in some

131
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.120
people have taken advantage of welfare benefits in the hood.

132
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.759
Nobody should receive help at all. Jay continued this country's

133
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.360
built on greedy mf ors, taking shortcuts and gaming of

134
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.560
the system to their benefit. But for some reason, when

135
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.600
poor people find a way to turn nickel into a dime,

136
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.560
they're judged more severely, especially blacks. I know the whole

137
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.279
hustle is to hate each other here, so we can

138
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.399
fight in the comments and upburn engagements, but let's draw

139
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.600
the line to feeding the poor. I grew up on

140
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.560
free cheese and powdered milk and waiting for your friends

141
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.000
to leave the store so they won't see me pay

142
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.120
with stamps. That's not as glamorous as it sounds, I promise. Yes,

143
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.279
we are very political today it is election day, and

144
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.680
I put all the politics things in today's show, and

145
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.240
then tomorrow no politics. So that's why I moved the

146
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.399
Colbert thing to tomorrow. Now, as you listen to the show, May,

147
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.319
I could understand if you were, like, you know, John,

148
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.000
sometimes I don't think you're down with President Trump. Well,

149
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.160
I have newsview. Sometimes President Trump and I are quite aligned.

150
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.079
For example, President Trump posted on social media about Late

151
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.879
Night with Seth Myers. Why does NBC waste its time

152
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.480
and money on a guy like this? I agree? Why

153
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.879
does that show exist. Who's it for? Who's watching it?

154
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.639
It has about seven more viewers than I have listeners.

155
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.879
I don't know what this is for. So if you're

156
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.120
like Johnya never backed Trump on anything, I'm backing him

157
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.160
up on this. Trump declared that Seth Myers may be

158
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.720
the worst to perform live or otherwise. Again, sometimes the

159
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.360
President and I are aligned, sometimes we're not, the President continued,

160
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:38.920
I watched the show the other night for the first

161
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.360
time in years. In it, he talked endlessly about electric

162
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.120
catabults on aircraft carriers, which I complained about is not

163
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.879
being as good as much less expensive steam catapults on

164
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.519
an Anyway, it truly deranged, lunatic. I don't think Seth

165
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.000
Myers is deranged, and I'm not an expert on aircraft

166
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.560
carrier catapults, so I'm not able to comment on that.

167
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.519
The President continued, Why does NBC waste its time money?

168
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.399
And I like this no talent, no ratings, one hundred

169
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.560
percent anti Trump, which is probably illegal. I'm not a lawyer.

170
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.199
I'm just a guy in the basement with a podcast.

171
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.759
I don't think it is illegal at all to be

172
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.839
anti Trump. Radar online sourcing Rob Shutter, who has a

173
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.240
sub stack. They're suggesting friends of Jimmy Kimmel would like

174
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.600
Jimmy Kimmel to run for president. That would be all

175
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.240
sorts of interesting politics aside, just as somebody who hosts

176
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.959
a podcast in their basement about comedians please do now.

177
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.720
I am familiar with Radar Online because when I'm not

178
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.279
doing this, I write for the Palace Intrigue podcast, and

179
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.879
I find that Radar Online tends to be more gossipy

180
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.720
than some other websites Anyway. Supposedly, insiders say that Hollywood

181
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.799
elites see Jimmy Kimmel as a fearless contender for the

182
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.720
twenty twenty eight presidency. A source says they're pitching him

183
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.639
as smart, funny, fearless, but it's a tiny bubble casting

184
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.240
this role, not thinking about real voters. Another insider said

185
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.360
of Jimmy Kimmel, he's starting to believe maybe they're right,

186
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.000
But to real Americans, Jimmy Kimmel and the White House

187
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.080
sounds more like a late night punchline than a serious plan.

188
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.480
It is election day. Did I mention that why are

189
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.320
you still listening to me when you should be voting?

190
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.200
And then you know you could be like, yes, we

191
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.000
need more of this or less of this, and you

192
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.039
could do something about it. Do not sit home today.

193
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.840
I will scold you. Recently, John Stewart did that live

194
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.240
conference with David Remnick from The New Yorker. They shared

195
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.279
a full transcript. Remnick asked John Stewart, why do you

196
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.799
think Trump won? Stewart said, because of the dissatisfaction of

197
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.519
an analog system. In a digital world, the distance between

198
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.279
how you feel about the world and the actual world

199
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.159
has never been larger. We're victims of the circadium rhythms

200
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.840
of social media, and social media is incentivized to what

201
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.720
not to connect us. I've seen the Facebook commercial, and yes,

202
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.799
it's true, if you do like a certain kind of cat,

203
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.000
there'll be other people who like that certain kind of cat,

204
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.080
and you will connect with one another. But the purpose

205
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.360
of social media to keep you on his platform. That's it.

206
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:55.320
That's all these companies care about. They want you on

207
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.039
that platform. They want you there as long as they

208
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.159
can possibly have you. And the way they've rigged our

209
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.080
brains to figure out is that outrage and anger and

210
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.960
hate and hostility are much stronger drivers of engagement than

211
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.039
anything else. On the flip side of that, won't answer here.

212
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.440
By jud Stewart, we have a political system designed as

213
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.759
an analog. What is the Senate? It's the cooling saucer

214
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.159
of democracy. And what's Twitter? That's the thing that makes

215
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.840
you want to rip people's eyes out. You put those

216
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.279
together and it's not a good mix. And so Trump

217
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.799
was able to harness the anger and catastrophizing of that

218
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.519
as a way of taking over the other things that

219
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.080
we have. Remnick asked, and he didn't find Biden and

220
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.759
Harris a good remedy for that. John laughed and said,

221
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.519
I thought they were great. Stuart said, Look what's going

222
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.759
on with Zorain Maundani. You finally got a guy in

223
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.159
New York City who's getting people to vote in the

224
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.159
affirmative for his positions, which is inspiring people and giving

225
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.759
a certain amount of leadership. And what is the general

226
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.840
status call the Democratic Party do with that? That guy's

227
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.320
a communist like the party goes along with the characterture

228
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.519
of this man. Look, we're in a bad situation. It's

229
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.879
not just the crappiness of Trump. It's the passivity of

230
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.320
the Democratic Party to stick with a status quo that

231
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.440
most people felt were not working. It was a Legenday,

232
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.519
did you vote yet? We are political today, Yes, we are.

233
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.440
Stavros Halkias with Vulture. They were recapping the episode of

234
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.600
Stave's World with guest Caleb Hearin. That was the one

235
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.080
where Stavey said he was shocked and disappointed that Joe

236
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.960
Rogan endorsed Donald Trump. Alkias said, what surprised me about

237
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.000
Joe in particular is I do think we align on

238
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:14.480
a lot. I don't think he's a far right guy.

239
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.480
It was just shocking because he's an avatar for a

240
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.440
regular dude. A lot of people do swing wildly. He

241
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.960
liked Bernie like Trump. There's a lot more people in

242
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:23.879
America that are like that. To me, it was like, WHOA,

243
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.039
what the f How did Democrats allow this kind of

244
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.039
thing to happen? Because listen, I get being like, I

245
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.399
hate both these candidates. That was my position. I got

246
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.080
not liking Kamala Harris, but I did not, in any way,

247
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.399
shape or form understand being a free speech guy and

248
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.720
then being like Trump's my guy. That was really the

249
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.080
crux of it, and it was worse than even thought

250
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:46.759
obviously with these he said something quite unfavorable about Ice.

251
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.159
Ice people with mass and no due process in America,

252
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.159
and that's your freedom of speech. Guy. He was suing

253
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.639
journalists he didn't like before this. I just thought it

254
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.080
was a simplistic view of freedom of speech. That's like, essentially,

255
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.039
we shouldn't be able to say any slurs. They're not

256
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.720
worthy of it. Take him back. I would like du

257
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.720
process and bleeping out a couple effing words. Stavro says

258
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.360
also endorsed this Zooran Mamdani guy in the Mayor oal race.

259
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.440
Vulture was curious why Starvar said, I got not liking

260
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.080
either candidate in the twenty four presidential election because I

261
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.080
do think the Democratic Party does not offer anything right now.

262
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.960
Mamdani represents something that is exciting to a lot of

263
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.480
young people. Democratic leadership is like, how do we get

264
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.919
people excited after running the most bs consultant driven campaigns possible,

265
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.360
Whereas Mamdani is a guy who's effing thirty three and

266
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.799
who has just excited people. But the Democrats don't want

267
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.759
that because they're also bought and paid for. Starvo said,

268
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.039
I don't think they needed me. His campaigns really well run.

269
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.559
But that's where I'll be like, hey, if I can

270
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.399
make a difference in any way. Even if this helps

271
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.840
this much, I'll help candidates I believe in, or causes

272
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.600
I believe in, or fundraise for things I believe in.

273
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:46.759
But I'm not going to have the politics hour every

274
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:51.039
week on my podcast. That must be nice. I'm trying

275
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.159
not to, and I'm doing it twice a week now

276
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:57.919
at least. To go vote Please out Today On Netflix,

277
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.840
Leanne Morgan's Unspeakable Things. LeAnn Morgan takes on topics including motherhood,

278
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.000
trying CBD for the first and last time, navigating fame,

279
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.879
and the less glamorous side of family vacations. Jimmy Fallon

280
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.159
has a new Tuesday Night segment as part of the

281
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:17.720
NBA on NBC. This debut last week, but today's Tuesday,

282
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.440
and there's basketball on NBC tonight. The segment is called

283
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.960
the Tonight Show One Shot Jackpot. I was thinking about

284
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.919
Jimmy over the weekend. He's a survivor. You know, that

285
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.399
Cobert rating story came out and I was like, you know,

286
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:33.120
Fallon doesn't have the ratings and he also doesn't have

287
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.519
the respect. You've heard me. I stick up for Jimmy

288
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.080
more often than not, but he definitely doesn't have the

289
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.600
respect at all. It's just a weird spot to have

290
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.000
the Tonight Show in third place. And it's not like

291
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.960
people are like, yeah, the host of the Tonight Show.

292
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.759
But I guess Jay Leno didn't have that either, right,

293
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.159
but Jay Leno was in first anyway. The Tonight Show

294
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.879
One Shot Jackpot combines live game energy with the NBC

295
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.120
Late Night Show's classic audience participation vibe. Each week, as

296
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.919
Johnny Carson rolls over in his grave, one audience member

297
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.200
will get the chance to make a half court basketball

298
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.960
shot for ten thousand dollars. The jackpot rolls over if

299
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.799
no one sinks it. Last week, Maggie from Long Beach

300
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.600
was the contestant. She told Jimmy Fallon she does not

301
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.039
play basketball. She took a shot, the crowd cheers, she missed.

302
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.559
She got a consolation prize, a Tonight Show sweatshirt signed

303
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.919
by Jimmy Fallon and Atlanta Hawk star Trey Young, who

304
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.639
is there as part of this. Fallon said more money

305
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.120
will be added to the Tonight Show One Shot Jackpot

306
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.840
for next week. Next week is now, so somebody's gonna

307
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.519
take their shot out today. On the eight hundred Pound

308
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.039
Gorilla YouTube channel, it is Michael Yo's Snack Daddy, and

309
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.759
I never thought it's a double feature by Michael Yo.

310
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.039
The three to one to two Festival has kicked off.

311
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.759
Patrick war Button, that's Puddy. He's at Zani's Rosemont tonight

312
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.679
at seven a preview of three one two. The Chicago

313
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.200
Theater will have some of the bigger shows including Fortune

314
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.000
Fiemster there on the eighth, Ralph Barbosa there on the seventh.

315
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.759
Dusty Slay, one of my current favorites, also part of

316
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.039
the festival, So we'll start breaking that out every day

317
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.679
and then later in the week. It's the New York

318
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.519
Comedy Festival. Three one two was launched in twenty twenty three.

319
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.559
I thought it was around longer than that. I guess

320
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.759
I am wrong. It was launched by Outback Presents and

321
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.720
Outback's president Andrew Farewell said Chicago is a great market

322
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.919
for comedy. Yes it is. He said, comedy is hotter

323
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:25.960
than it's ever been. There are so many great acts,

324
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.320
such diversity, and we're really proud to bring so many

325
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.559
types of comedy across all the different sized venues, from

326
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.919
larger theaters to smaller clubs and everything in between. There's

327
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.159
a lot of great places to see comedy in Chicago.

328
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.519
One of the performers will be Pete Holmes, which is

329
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.039
interesting because he's also playing in New York. Pete will

330
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.080
be at the Riviera Theater at the Chicago Fest on

331
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.360
November eighth. Pete said, I'm very excited consider myself to

332
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.159
start in Chicago and hope I'm still in the fold

333
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.440
of Chicago comedy. It's always great to come back and

334
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.039
perform there and to be in this venue for the

335
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:53.879
first time at a city I love so much. Chicago

336
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:55.720
has always been a great comedy city because it's just

337
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.279
filled with smart people with sensitive of humor. You can't

338
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.240
ask for better than that. Oh, I'll ask for better

339
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.399
than that. You know what's better than that? The Chicago

340
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.440
Bears Miracle cover. Friend of the show, Scott Beckett got

341
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.240
me in this football pool and I had the Bears

342
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.559
and the Bears blew it lately and I was like, ah,

343
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.279
I'm not getting that one right. And then the Bears

344
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.279
pulled out a miracle victory. And more importantly the cover,

345
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.279
did Dallas win last night? Because if they did, I

346
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.080
won the week. If they didn't, I didn't. And that's it.

347
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:23.919
I'm going to tell you about Amy Schumer's weight loss.

348
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.039
Tomorrow has that for a really exciting tease. You're just

349
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.440
gonna sit around for twenty four hours and be like,

350
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:28.919
oh man, I can't believe it didn't tell us about

351
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.240
Amy Schumer's weight loss. I'm just gonna sit here by

352
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:35.440
my phone hitting refresh until he drops another episode. No, yes,

353
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.679
all right, see Tomorrow. Go vote
