00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:08.599
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:11.359
Hey there, I'm Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news.

3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.519
I think Jim Gaffigan actually won the Grammy's Ny for Gietzi.

4
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.079
He's got a super Bowl commercial, and of course Inny

5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.640
Schumer wants us to talk about her. Let's start with

6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.800
the Grammys. You may have heard there was a rather

7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:26.039
big basketball trade over the weekend that led to this joke.

8
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.239
During the break. I don't know how to say this.

9
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:35.000
Trevor Noah was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. So I

10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.719
know this is a shock, but I am now your host.

11
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.200
Really great stuff from Jim. I'll circle back to Jim

12
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.640
in a second line of the night. I'm going to

13
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.359
give to the John Westlang from Threads who wrote congratulations

14
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.679
to FX as the bear for their Grammy win for

15
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:54.119
Best Comedy Album. Best Comedy Album actually went to Dave Chappelle.

16
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.759
I'm really impressed three in a row. First of all,

17
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.159
you have to put out three albums three years in

18
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.840
a row to even win, so that speaks to the

19
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.079
quality of the work that Dave's been putting out. I

20
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.719
haven't seen the reaction pieces yet, I guarantee either coming

21
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.200
about Dave and punching down and on the transgender topic again.

22
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.799
I have no doubt those are coming later in the week,

23
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.599
but for now, he's the Tom Brady of comedy. Three

24
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.799
straight Grammys for Best Comedy Album. Nobody's gonna do that

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.120
anytime soon. Nicki Glazer was on the red carpet. She

26
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.120
says she is not signed to host the Golden Globes.

27
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.239
I will take Nicki herself over the reporting, and I've

28
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.879
been a part of that reporting in the past, but

29
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.719
let's hear it straight from Nicki Glazer.

30
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.040
You know what, it felt so good because the goal

31
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.959
going in was you know, I made like a mission

32
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.959
statement before I began preparing, I was like, Okay, what

33
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.799
I want to do is I want to be funny,

34
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.560
but I want when I watch a ward show, I

35
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.000
just want to feel like I'm in good hands. I

36
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.760
want to watch someone go. I want her to watch.

37
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.040
I wanted to leave that Award show and have people go.

38
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.439
I want her to host more things that was comfortable

39
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.400
to watch. I wasn't nervous for her, and that's what

40
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.599
it came away with. All the reviews were like, she

41
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.680
looked like she was in the pocket. She we like

42
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.319
her to host more things. I was like, oh yeah,

43
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.079
cheat my goal. I just wanted people to have a

44
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.840
fun time and not feel like I was going after anyone,

45
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.560
but like having some fun, like I thought, I really.

46
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.240
I worked hard to hit that tone, and I felt

47
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.680
I succeeded. I keep seeing headlines that are like, She's

48
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.360
got a deal to do three more. I haven't heard

49
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.680
about this yet, but I think I think it would

50
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.840
be I think I like them as much as they

51
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.680
like me, and I would like to keep this relationship

52
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.039
going because I had a blast doing it. It was

53
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.039
hard work, but it was the best job I've ever had.

54
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.599
I'm ready to come back and host the Golden Globes again.

55
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.840
It was truly the most fun night I've had in

56
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.280
so long. And I didn't have a Christmas because of it,

57
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.479
but I don't need a Christmas.

58
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.520
Nikki also talked about Taylor Swift.

59
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.000
I forget that I hosted the Golden Globes. I'm just

60
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.000
here as like, am I allowed to be here? I'm

61
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.199
a comedian. You feel like, if you're not a musician,

62
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:45.599
you've kind of feel like what am I doing? Even

63
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.800
though I was nominated for a Grammy this year, I

64
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.039
still feel a little bit like out of my element,

65
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.159
like a snuck in. I'm just trying to fit in.

66
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.199
But yes, I feel good.

67
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.719
Okay. Want to ask you how much did you really

68
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.080
spend on those Taylor Swift shows?

69
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.560
I mean, I'm gonna say probably what, cause I would

70
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.400
fly my friends in, I would put them up, I'd

71
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.120
pay for their tickets, I'd buy them merch So I

72
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.159
would say seventy to one hundred, like it was a lot.

73
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.199
But I again, I just want to remind people. I

74
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.919
don't have kids, I don't have a house. I don't

75
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.400
have a nice car. I don't buy handbags. I wear

76
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.680
a Lulu Umon fanny pack. Like I spend my money

77
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.800
on experiences, and that's the number one thing to me.

78
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.599
Does Taylor know this? Does she acknowledge your like fandom?

79
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.560
No, but I think she's probably a little bit like

80
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.639
Yike's lady, you know, like I know, come on, I mean,

81
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.520
I'm sure she's she loves her fans, so I'm sure

82
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.240
she's like that's cool, But I don't. I'm not waiting

83
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.919
for anything from her, like I truly am. Like I

84
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.199
come at it from like I just am a fan.

85
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.439
I like watching her perform I'm not trying to angle

86
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.199
for any like. I wonder if she'll give me a

87
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.479
letter or something, you know, right, I just I like,

88
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.120
I like to sit back and watch her shine.

89
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.120
Taylor did not make any jokes about Joe Koy, which

90
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.560
is a shame. Back to gaff again, Jim was on

91
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.319
the Red carpet and this is pretty painfully unfunny.

92
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.639
It never gets old. But I like to thank a

93
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.039
time Grammy loser. Yeah, you know, no, I am so

94
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.479
thrilled to be nominated, but I uh, it's yeah, it's weird.

95
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.240
I don't have an expectation of winning. But that's also

96
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.560
you know, that's the better vibe to carry into the event.

97
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.639
I'm so excited to be here, and I'm dressed like

98
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.120
a Batman villain, so that's all you need to do.

99
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.199
Your category step too with your friends.

100
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.680
Oh absolutely, and people are having incredible years and there's legends,

101
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.319
so it's it's it's really just cool to be included. Well,

102
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.360
for the record, villains usually do dress better than the hero,

103
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.399
so that's right. That yes, so maybe maybe since I'm

104
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.600
dressed like a villain, maybe I'll win, you know, I

105
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.199
like that, I'll steal it be weird. It'll be another

106
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.800
thing to get used to winning, because I've never really

107
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.920
I mean, i've won, you know what I mean at

108
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:53.120
being nominated.

109
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.399
We're going to change the telepromver so fast in the

110
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:57.279
event that you win.

111
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.959
If I win. Yeah, now I'll do it where I won.

112
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:02.600
I can't believe I won.

113
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:04.279
What does this mean to you?

114
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.360
It was so great and I feel like, you know,

115
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.000
I'm just so humbled by all of it. And now

116
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.959
we'll do it where I have to split it with someone.

117
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.519
Okay, where we splitting it with Nikki Trevor.

118
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.160
I think it's Nicky all right here, We're gonna do

119
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.920
it where. I'm like, I'm so happy for Nicky Nikki one.

120
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.199
And you know, I'm so happy also for Trevor for

121
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.000
winning because he you know, he's been part of the Grammys,

122
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.439
and I think he was great tonight. I'm so happy

123
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.920
for Ricky, you know what I mean. It's like, it's

124
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.560
good that he's being acknowledged. And I'm and I'm thrilled

125
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.519
for Dave because finally he's he's winning something. I mean,

126
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.639
he hasn't ever lost, but I'm so happy that Dave Chappelle,

127
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.959
a legend, is here to take every single award from

128
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:48.720
every comedian.

129
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.680
Aprigetzi will start in a super Bowl ad for door Dash.

130
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.720
Now what's interesting is usually they released the Super Bowl

131
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.560
commercials early. They didn't release the commercial, they released a

132
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.600
teaser for the commerce. So let's listen when.

133
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.040
We say five dollars on that takeout order, five dollars

134
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:04.879
saved on my.

135
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.319
Six hours and savings all crucial order.

136
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.680
That to consider Corofesion starters.

137
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:14.519
Equals that's a fifteen that I trimmed a little bit.

138
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.680
The ad during the super Bowl will be a thirty.

139
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.759
Nate told Variety, I used DoorDash regularly. I used it

140
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.800
two nights ago. I'm only not using it right now

141
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.680
because I'm in a hotel, and then I'll be back

142
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.680
at it. DoorDash approached him after hearing Nate joke about

143
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.720
DoorDash during his most recent SNL appearance. Of producing commercials,

144
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.800
Nate says, it's like, you know, making a mini movie.

145
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.839
There's not a live audience or anything, but it was

146
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.279
all still enjoyable. I'm in trouble if I ever go

147
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.279
to something that's not going to be fun. He had

148
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.519
hoped to keep his super Bowl project quiet. He debated

149
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.399
whether or not he should tell his parents. He did.

150
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.920
He's now excited for more people to see him, he said,

151
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.560
not a lot of people. It's gonna be a big,

152
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.279
big surprise that it's happening, and I can't wait to

153
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.000
see what people think. John Stewart lost a bet and

154
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.600
he had to go to the next game. At Madison

155
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.319
Square Garden. Decked out in Philadelphia Eagles gear, John was

156
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.439
booed by the Nicks. Faithful John had a bet against

157
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.800
Nick star Jalen Brunson. They had bet on the Eagles

158
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.439
Giants game and the Giants lost. John had to pay

159
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.720
up in a Saquon Barkley Jersey. Saquon used to play

160
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.560
for the Giants, now plays for the Eagles. Jalen came

161
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.920
over to compliment John's fit. Also at the Knixt game,

162
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.800
Amy Schumer, who wants us to talk about her. She's

163
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.079
got a movie coming out Wednesday, and boy, Amy, for

164
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.199
the amount of press you've been doing, for the amount

165
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.519
of stories's been sharing, this movie better be good. Because

166
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.120
if it's not good and you've used your entire arsenal

167
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.519
promoting it, I don't know where that leaves you. You know,

168
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.920
During halftime at the Knicks Lakers game, the Knick City

169
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.120
Dancers invited Amy to the court. The cheerleading squad called

170
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.839
out Amy, who pretended to be shocked at the gesture

171
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.560
and then flawlessly executed a dance to Uptown Girl by

172
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.199
Billy Joel. She was recreating an iconic scene from her

173
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.399
film train Wreck, which came out ten years ago. The

174
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.959
coordinated number featured Amy Schumer front and center. The dance

175
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.560
ended with a group pos Amy blue kisses to the crowd.

176
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.560
The crowd included Lebron James of the Lakers, who was

177
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.959
also in train Wreck. She also was given the title

178
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.160
Rookie of the Year. In a feature on the Nick

179
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.399
City Dancers Instagram, Olivia Munn went on Amy's instat and wrote,

180
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.639
this is iconic. Chelsea Handler added yes, Katie Couric, who

181
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:19.240
was at MA, she wrote, so glad I was there

182
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.319
to witness this go Amy. Amy has revealed that she

183
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.120
called Kim Kardashian to get permission for a joke that's

184
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.959
in the new movie. Amy was on a satellite radio

185
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.560
program and said, I want to make the show where

186
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.920
I'm reading a kid instead of a bedtime story at Tabloid.

187
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:33.960
I pitched Kim a couple jokes. I asked if she

188
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.159
would mind. She didn't mind. How cool is she? Spoilers

189
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.000
in case you're excited about Amy's upcoming movie. There once

190
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.679
was a family of beautiful princesses called the Kardashians, and

191
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.440
they lived in a palace that their dad bought them

192
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.480
by defending a murderer. According to Amy, Kim had no

193
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:51.519
issue with the joke about her father, Robert Kardashian. Amy said,

194
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.279
She's like, yeah, I do the one about my dad

195
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.639
defending a murderer. She was that chill. She's such a

196
00:08:55.639 --> 00:09:00.279
good sport kind of pregnant. Out tomorrow. Are you excited? Yeah?

197
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.519
So you need something to watch tonight. Good news Hulu

198
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.519
has acquired the rights to Stavros Haukias's Let's Start a Cult.

199
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.519
That was the Indie Dirk comedy co written and executive

200
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.039
produced and storing Stavros. It is out on Hulu now.

201
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.240
Pete Davidson has revealed how many tattoos out of his

202
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.480
two hundred he will keep. Pete told Jimmy Fallon, maybe

203
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.559
like two or three. Pete told Felon that he probably

204
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.759
had like two hundred tattoos, most of which are almost gone.

205
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.039
Now I've been burning them off. They burn off the

206
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:30.759
layer of your skin. Then it has to heal for

207
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.679
six to eight weeks. You can't get in the sunlight,

208
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.679
and then you've got to do it like twelve more times.

209
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.919
Fallon was curious why he had gotten so many tattoos.

210
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.200
Pete said, I don't know. Everybody was getting tattoos like

211
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.159
five years ago. Remember that Fox Business reported on Matt

212
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.759
Rife digging the Rhode Island suburbs. Raife said, there were

213
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.600
three things on my checklist. I wanted to get what

214
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.679
I was actually paying for. There was a massive place

215
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.840
that was probably the same price as a two bedroom

216
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.960
with no yard in La I needed to have some

217
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.639
kind of comedy scene, and Providence has the comedy connection

218
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:00.960
out there. Great Club Boston's forty five minutes away, an

219
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.559
amazing comedy scene and convenient for travel. Providence is like

220
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.720
my Burdbank Airport in Boston is like my lax. How

221
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.000
did he find Rhode Island? You know what I mean?

222
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:12.720
He said, I was performing on Vehican Son five shows

223
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.000
something like that. Mohegan Sun is a casino in Connecticut.

224
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.279
If you're not familiar with Mohican Sun. Thus northeasterns or

225
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.720
mohegan Sun was an hour away and we were on

226
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.320
I don't know Zillo and I was like, oh, I'll

227
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.200
peep this real quick, and we went and checked it out,

228
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:25.720
and I was like, this costs like one show at

229
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:29.639
mohegan Son. Awesome. Fox Business reports Rife's comedy tour grossed

230
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.919
more than most of the biggest names in comedy last year,

231
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.080
topping everybody but Nate. Nate's tour reportedly had a net

232
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.720
gross of eighty two point two million dollars last year,

233
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.440
selling over one million tickets. According to Billboard, rif's two

234
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:44.120
hundred and fifty six shows sold seven hundred and thirty

235
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.480
three thousand or so tickets, grossing fifty seven and a

236
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.639
half million dollars. Always good to hear from the listeners.

237
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.480
I heard from andres who reacted to my commentary over

238
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.679
the weekend where I explained I'm a slider. In case

239
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.519
you missed it, at some point, I'm from a different universe.

240
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.480
At some point I made the jump from where I'm

241
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.399
from to this universe where you guys spell the names

242
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.759
of certain celebrities differently. Where I'm from. The guy from

243
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.360
Flight of the Concords is named Jermaine Clement with an

244
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.639
R Andres roade, Hey, man, I heard what you said

245
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.600
about Jermaine. I'm not sure if it was specifically spelled

246
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.480
with a J or could have been a G, but

247
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.000
definitely had an R. On Flight of the Concords. Thank you.

248
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.320
Andres is currently where I'm from. A new book called

249
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.799
Fight Inside the Wildless Battle for the White House claims

250
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.039
that Elon Musk and Dana White convinced Joe Rogan not

251
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.200
to interview Kamala Harris. The book claims Harris's team wanted

252
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.480
to do Rogan and was willing to accommodate Rogan. Rogan's

253
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.360
team had insisted on doing the interview at Rogan's studio.

254
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.440
The only time Rogan has traveled for a guest was

255
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.840
in twenty nineteen to speak with whistleblower Edward Snowden. According

256
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.440
to the book, given Rogan's demands, the Harris team rearranged

257
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.960
her schedule to do a campaign event in Texas. As

258
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.159
the story goes, Harris's deputy campaign manager told Rogan, we

259
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.279
could do Friday, the twenty fifth. One of Rogan's reps said,

260
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.080
which we had known about the sooner because he has

261
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.799
the twenty fifth, blocked out as a personal day campaign person.

262
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.960
What about Saturday morning? Rogan's team only if it's before

263
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.720
eight thirty am, campaign manager, the Vice president of the

264
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:13.759
United States is offering to come to your effing show,

265
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.279
and you keep putting up more hoops. The Harris team

266
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.200
continue to try and make it work. Then Rogan was like, nah,

267
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.759
never mind. On October twenty fifth, the day that Rogan

268
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.519
had the personal day, Trump was in Austin. Who appear

269
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.840
on Rogan's podcast. I guess that makes sense that you

270
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.720
can't tell the Harris campaign that Trump is coming the

271
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.120
day that you want to do it, So that all

272
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.399
makes sense to me. Fun story regardless of that, is

273
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.840
your comedy news for today. If you are finding the

274
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.639
program on the new YouTube, a twenty four to seven stream,

275
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.960
what I've done is I've created just an audio channel

276
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.200
that plays, say, like the last two weeks of this

277
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.039
program on a loop. If you're finding this program this way,

278
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.360
there's no video. I know you figure that out by now,

279
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.799
but like people get mad and they're like, oh, oh,

280
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.960
there's no video Because there's no video. It's an audio

281
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.120
podcast that I stuck up on YouTube. But I appreciate

282
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.320
you sampling the show, and it does come out in

283
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.840
audio form seven days a week at three oh five

284
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.080
am Eastern Time. If you want to follow in a

285
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.879
podcast app. See you tomorrow,
