Callaroga Shark Media.

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.320
Hey, Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news. Yesterday was

3
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.480
a little angsty, but Johnny Mack is here to bring

4
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.039
the fun back. And who's more fun than Joe Cooy.

5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.079
That's right, Joe Cooy is recording a Netflix special this weekend.

6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.000
That's pretty cool. Two shows tonight somewhere at eight o'clock

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.079
at the Adventist Health Arena in Stockton. Jason Perry is

8
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.479
the general manager, and he said, to have a globally

9
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.399
recognized comedian and choose our arena in our community for

10
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.240
a project of this scale speaks volumes about the market,

11
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.640
the fans, and the experience we deliver. Now, if you're

12
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.479
saying to yourself, Johnny Mack, Joe Koy, that name sounds familiar.

13
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.200
Who's he again? Can you remind us? So? Sure, I'll

14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.520
remind you. Joe Coy hosted the Golden Globes for one year,

15
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.119
and when he did, he just told this horrible, mean

16
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.439
joke about Taylor Swift. She did not appreciate this vicious,

17
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.039
horrible joke at all. She made a stoneface, didn't laugh

18
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.039
the way Leo DiCaprio did it jokes about him. No,

19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.880
she let Joe cooin O, this is not funny. As

20
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:04.239
you know.

21
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.079
We came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference

22
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.680
between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves,

23
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.680
we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift.

24
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.680
I saw this on threads. Somebody posted Bill Burr's audience

25
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.680
is still roasting him NonStop in his YouTube comments over

26
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.680
that comedy show in Saudi Arabia. His videos get about

27
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.120
four times as many dislikes as likes now and I

28
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.040
was curious about this, So let's start with the comments.

29
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.879
I'm here on YouTube. It is Bill Burr's episode titled

30
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.200
Siantle EarPods Drugs from one nine to twenty six. One

31
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.560
commenter wrote, damn lost thirty thousand viewers l L. Another

32
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.719
wrote Bill thinks he's George Carlin, but he's really George Costanza.

33
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.959
Another bill never forgot what was like to be on

34
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.120
the streets because whenever he moves up a floor, he

35
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.480
buys a stronger telescope. Another comment one point five million

36
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.560
dollars from Trump and Bill will be performing for the

37
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.920
oil rig workers in Venezuela in no time. Wow, Bill

38
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.920
Burr is everything he made for one of ten years ago.

39
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.159
Total lack of self awareness. Next, Old Billy, Keep ignoring

40
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.400
it and it'll go away, Burr. Next one, This is

41
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.840
brutal every time. Just address it and move on. Next, Bill,

42
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.280
stop acting like you're a blue collar person. You get

43
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.199
the idea. So I looked at the numbers again. The

44
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.280
premise of the Threads post is that his numbers are

45
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.560
quite down, so I went back. Now, understand that a

46
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.840
video will have a long tail, right, so the longer

47
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:26.680
that it's up, people will discover it more and more

48
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.639
over time, So it makes sense that an older episode

49
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.080
has more views than a newer episode, and these are

50
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.759
YouTube views. Probably know on the audio side, Bill Burr's

51
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.240
podcast numbers are way up. They could be ten times up.

52
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.319
We have no way of knowing that, but I just

53
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.039
randomly needle dropped on a few episodes from February twentieth,

54
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.479
twenty twenty five. That video has sixty three thousand views.

55
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.560
One from June ninth has forty two thousand, one from

56
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.240
November seventh, which should have a long tail by now,

57
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.159
has twenty two thousand, and the January ninth video had

58
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.479
twenty thousand and change. So make of that what you will.

59
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.479
I was curious how other podcasts do Again, the January

60
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.520
nine Bilburg has twenty thousand, and I was like, how

61
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.599
does Nateland do. The nate Land podcast from January fourteenth

62
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.439
has thirteen, eight hundred and seventy five yews, which is

63
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.319
not a lot, like really really not a lot. But

64
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
as part of that I found out maybe everybody else

65
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.280
knew this already. I somehow missed this. The Nateland podcast

66
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.000
is ending. Nate Burghetzi is stepping away from the Nateland Podcast.

67
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.039
He told listeners that after roughly five years and nearly

68
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.039
three hundred episodes, it's time to focus on his next

69
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.080
act movies, TV, and yes, the theme park. I think Nate

70
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.240
is crazy, but you know, I'm doing this in the

71
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.800
basement and he's building a theme park, so maybe I'm

72
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.360
the crazy one. Nate says, everything I'm trying to do

73
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.280
going forward is I want you to be able to

74
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.520
do it with your family. As I record this, there

75
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.360
should be one more Nateland with Nate coming and then

76
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.479
the rest of the gang I think is going to

77
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.000
continue on the same feed, but with a new name

78
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.840
on the podcast. Speaking of podcasting, ego Nuotam Will host

79
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.280
the twenty twenty six iHeart Podcast Awards at south By

80
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.960
Southwest in March. Yes, once again celebrities will take over podcasting.

81
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.840
People are still all I rate that Amy Pohler won

82
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.600
the Golden Globe when now it's the iHeart Podcast Award.

83
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.759
Nominees for Podcast of the Year include Amy Poehler, The

84
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.360
Reakfast Club, The Mel Robins Podcast, and Pablo Torri finds

85
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.319
out The Daily The Rest is History this past weekend

86
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.480
with Theo Vaughn call Her Daddy, Heavyweight, and Giggly Squad.

87
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.040
I'm going to root for. Pablo Tory finds out the

88
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.519
best Comedy Podcast. The nominees are good hang with Amy Poehler,

89
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.560
The Toast, Handsome, The Basement Yard, and something called Distractable. Now,

90
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.519
if the rest of you were like, yeah, John, we

91
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.480
all know distractable. What is wrong with you? I had

92
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.079
to look it up and I'll remind you as much

93
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.199
as I suck. I host this every day, and I

94
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.399
work in podcasting and blog and write and consu and

95
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.360
everything about podcasting all day long when I'm not doing this,

96
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.920
And I was like, what is distractable? And apparently it

97
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.800
is a comedy podcast with guy's name Mark, Wade and

98
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.920
Bob and it's a space to have thoughtful discussions about

99
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.959
funny out there or otherwise interesting stories from everyday life.

100
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.519
They've got almost a million followers on YouTube. Let's see

101
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.160
how they're doing versus Bill Burr. Okay, their most recent

102
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.319
episode from six days ago has one hundred and thirty

103
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.920
four thousand views. One from three weeks ago has one

104
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:34.519
hundred and seventy thousand views. So distractable is I don't know.

105
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.120
Somebody do the math? Seven times as popular as Bill

106
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.120
Burr right now? Is that what we're saying? Anyway, Congratulations

107
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.519
to those guys on both being successful and somehow never

108
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.319
coming up once in seven years of show prep on

109
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.680
this show. There were a lot of shows out there.

110
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.240
I'm gonna root for them. Hope they win Best Comedy,

111
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.160
Best Ad Read nominees Conan Call Her, Daddy, my Brother,

112
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.480
my Brother, and Me, Dudes on Dudes, and Distractable, Okay,

113
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.079
Best Host, Amy Poehler, Pablo Torri, Alex Cooper, Emma Chamberlain,

114
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.199
Caleb Hron, Yougo, Pablo XXL caught up with Josh Johnson.

115
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.439
They were curious how hip hop influences the comedy world.

116
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.399
Josh said, a lot of comics wish that they were rappers.

117
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.000
Even the trouble you see comics getting into. Sometimes you'll like,

118
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.319
you're trying to be a rapper, that's what's happening. There's

119
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.160
no reason for a comedian to get shot. Their comedian

120
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.120
is getting caught up like they're really about that life

121
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.160
and they're like, why you do jokes? How are you

122
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.360
moving that you ended up getting shot in the thigh?

123
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.199
I mean, that's not funn Why are you laughing, Johnny Mackle,

124
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.079
someone got shot in the thigh and you're laughing. You're

125
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.079
a jerk. Johnny Mack's the worst. He's no Jay Leno,

126
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.399
but he's pretty bad. XXL asked Josh. What about hip

127
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.560
hop inspires your approach to comedy. Josh said, I approach

128
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.600
comedy the way I imagine a lot of rappers approach

129
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.360
hip hop. It's a very narcissistic endeavor to get up

130
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:51.839
on stage and feel like you have the most to

131
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:53.839
say and you really deserve to be there. You have

132
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.759
to believe it's true. Even if you have a humble

133
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.480
approach to the craft, you have to believe that you're

134
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.000
one of the best to do it and then put

135
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.600
that belief into your work. As for rappers that you

136
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.959
think would make good stand up comics, Eminem for timing,

137
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.279
he's good at timing, fifty cent for content. The way

138
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.000
he roast, it's like it's coming from a place that's

139
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.399
so deeply funny. When he goes in on somebody, it'll

140
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.079
be like, Wow, this is crazy, this is what a

141
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.519
comic would do. Good interview there, Dan Soder. He's friends

142
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.360
with former Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, and Dan Soder

143
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.480
is really upset at Troy Aikman. Soder was on the

144
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.199
Soder podcast Let's see how that's doing all right? The

145
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.839
Dan Soder podcast, episode one fourteen, posted two days ago,

146
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.360
has one hundred and seventy one thousand views. So back

147
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.000
to the original premise of Bill Burr Wow, or maybe

148
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.079
people just don't like Bill Burr's podcast. I don't know

149
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.040
something's going on. Everybody else has numbers way bigger than

150
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.920
Bill Burr. Right now, I digress. Dan Soder was on

151
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.839
the Soder podcast Good Booking, and he ripped Dolphin's owner

152
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.600
Stephen Ross, calling mister Ross an old F word and

153
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.680
claimed that Troy Aikman, who's been brought in as an

154
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:04.319
unpaid advisor for Miami's GM search was behind Mike McDaniel's firing.

155
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.160
Soder said of his friend McDaniel, in fact, I think

156
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.240
he's better off because I think it's a crappy organization.

157
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.759
He said. McDaniel has been his buddy since the seventh grade.

158
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.480
As for the Dolphins, I think it's ran by an

159
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.399
old f that stabbed Mike in the back after he

160
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.079
told him he was gonna be right for another season

161
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.120
and f the Dolphins. Mike McDaniel coached the Dolphins for

162
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.639
four years. He went thirty five and thirty four, did

163
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.000
not win any playoff games. He was fired sixteen months

164
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.120
after he signed a three year extension. He'll be okay financially.

165
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.480
I guess wonder how much money made. Let's look that

166
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.759
up Sports Illustrated reports. While exact figures are unknown, it's

167
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.600
estimated to be at three and a half to four

168
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.759
and a half million dollars, with some reports saying eighteen

169
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.320
million dollars. As part of his extension internet account. mL

170
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.600
Football broke it down and according to them, Mike McDaniel

171
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.320
will make thirty plus thousand dollars per day to not

172
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.639
coach football games. They broke it down again. I don't

173
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.279
have then and trusting these guys per month nine hundred

174
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.919
and sixteen grand per minute, twenty dollars and ninety three cents.

175
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.600
So while you're listening to this podcast today, Mike McDaniel

176
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.799
made a couple hundred bucks, so he'll be all right,

177
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.600
Dan Soder, you gotta let this one go. Now, how

178
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.720
is Troy Aikman to blame for all this? Soder said,

179
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.279
when you watch football as a fan, you notice when

180
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.559
broadcasters are slanted for or against you. Having a friend

181
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.720
that's an NFL coach, you listen more and people talk

182
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.759
about your friend, and Troy Aikman craps on McDaniel in

183
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.799
a way that's like he doesn't like Mike. Now, apparently

184
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.759
Troy Aikman was critical of the Dolphins strategy during a

185
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.399
recent Monday night football loss to the Steelers. The Dolphins

186
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.799
lost that game at twenty eight to fifteen as they

187
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.399
trailed Haul of Famer. Troy Aikman, who has won three

188
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.799
Super Bowls themselves, said this is just a bizarre last

189
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.840
few series. They don't go hurry up. Now they're going

190
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.440
hurry up and calling timeouts. It's hard to understand exactly

191
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.360
what the philosophy is or what they're trying to do.

192
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.399
Late Night are caught up with Rob Burnett. You may

193
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.080
know Rob from being the head writer and executive producer

194
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:01.279
on David Letterman's late show. Night Or asked Rob, if

195
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.879
Letterman was still at it during Trump two point zero,

196
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.519
what would Dave be up to? Rob said, I think

197
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.080
Dave would be part of the conversation. He's always been

198
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.159
a person to speak his mind. When we weren't doing

199
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.360
political comedy a lot, I don't think it was necessary.

200
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.919
I don't think politics occupied the consciousness of America the

201
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.519
way it does now. Interesting here that Letterman learned a

202
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.039
lesson when he tried to steer away from what America

203
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.120
was talking about. Burnett said, Dave didn't make OJ jokes.

204
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:27.440
Dave thought, I'm not going to make fun of a murder,

205
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.519
but it was what the country was interested in. It

206
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.879
hurt the show, and he started to make OJ jokes. Nowadays,

207
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.240
it's obvious what the country is interested in. Burnett said,

208
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:37.799
I don't know if I would be equipped to write

209
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.440
a Colbert Kimmel Stewart monologue, but someone would, and I

210
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.519
think Dave would be doing that. We'll come back to

211
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.639
OJ jokes in a second. But Late Nights commented on

212
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.720
did you see President Trump flipped the guy the bird

213
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.879
the other day? Yeah, the President was visiting a Ford

214
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.240
factory and flipped the middle figure at an auto worker

215
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.840
who called the president a pedophile protector. Steve on Colbert

216
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.360
and his writers with some grit eat stuff here. Colbert said,

217
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.519
the man could have shouted pedophile, but until the full

218
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.279
Epstein files released, that's just an unverified claim, whereas pedophile

219
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.080
protector is fairly in evidence at this point. And that's

220
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.519
the kind of attention to detail you can expect in

221
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:17.759
your f one fifty. Great, great joke, it's a funny tag.

222
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.480
The premise is great solid. That is a fantastic piece

223
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.720
of material. Colbert also said, we were told there would

224
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.039
be Epstein files. In fact, you Trump presumably signed a

225
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.480
law mandating that you'd have to release the Epstein files

226
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.399
by the middle of last month, but you still haven't.

227
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.679
It kind of makes you seem like, what's the phrase

228
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.440
a pedophile protector? Back to OJ jokes, Remember Jay Leno,

229
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.399
He used to make a lot of OJ jokes, and

230
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.559
that guy's the worst. No, I don't mean OJ, I

231
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.600
mean Jay Leno. I mean the way he comments on

232
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.720
late nights sometimes until Jo just bringing the fun back

233
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.320
today did. And this guy the way he just he

234
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.679
talks about late night comedy and takes care of his wife, Mavis.

235
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.200
They've been married for forty five years and she battles dementia.

236
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.240
This guy, he's the worst. Jay Leno told Maria Shreiver.

237
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.720
You take a vow when you get married, and people

238
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.840
are stunned, they're shocked when you live up to it.

239
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.840
My favorite thing. This is the most Hollywood thing. Guy

240
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.759
said to me, So you're gonna get a girlfriend now,

241
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.480
and Leno said, no, I have a girlfriend. I'm married.

242
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.279
We've been married forty five years. You know what I mean.

243
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.000
We're kind of in this together. You can't go, honey,

244
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.440
I'll be with my girlfriend. I'll be back, Leader Leno

245
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.000
till driver. He's just doing the right thing because you're

246
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.960
supposed to. That kind of used to be the norm.

247
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.600
And then when he strayed, that was the out of

248
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.600
the whack part. Now, the out of the whack part

249
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.679
is fairly common, and staying and doing what you're supposed

250
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.440
to do is stunning to people. Why don't you do that? Well,

251
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.679
we kind of made a deal. Jay shrugged off the

252
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.559
quote unquote toll that people assume it takes on Jay,

253
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.399
he explained, I really haven't been tested in my life.

254
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.600
I wasn't in the army. I didn't have to shoot anybody.

255
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.840
So this is that thing. I'm glad of passing the

256
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:45.600
test because you never quite know what you're gonna do

257
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.080
in that situation or any situation. So I'd like to

258
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.960
think I made the right decision. As for Mavis, she's

259
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.840
not forgetting me. That hasn't happened yet. She seems extremely

260
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.679
comfortable now, and she seems happy, and she seems contented.

261
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.120
It's actually okay. It's good. I enjoy taking care of her.

262
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:06.000
Jay Leno the worst this weekend. On this the very program,

263
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.320
Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Podcast drops by Mike had

264
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.960
a list of the top ten late night hosts of

265
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.799
all time, and they wanted me to react to it,

266
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.039
and I reacted to it so much we wound up

267
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.080
talking for like two hours. So we'll split those conversations

268
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.000
in half. I can tell you how long the episodes are.

269
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.279
They're already loaded. Looks like you're getting about thirty eight

270
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.559
minutes on Saturday and forty minutes on Sunday, plus commercials now.

271
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.840
I always forget to do this. If you want the

272
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.600
commercials to go away, here's what we do. You on

273
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.639
Apple Podcasts and it'll say uninterrupted listening, and you click

274
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.840
that banner and then for five bucks a month, no commercials.

275
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.600
Great way to sport the show and the commercials go away.

276
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.240
You do have to use the Apple podcast hap, but

277
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.080
that's a great way to do it and even more transparent.

278
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.120
I can't auto set that. It's the bane of my existence.

279
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.120
My host and company refuses to set this up the

280
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:55.480
way some other hosts. Habita tries movie nanas. So the

281
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.759
show normally comes out of three oh five Eastern every day,

282
00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.960
but for the commercial free version, I have to make

283
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.840
annually do that. So when I get up in the morning,

284
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.840
the first thing I think is, oh, I got to

285
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.879
upload the show. My wife tries to talk to me,

286
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.720
and I go, I have to upload the show, and

287
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.600
normally it's there by like seven fifteen am Easter in

288
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.399
the commercial free versions anyway, So if you don't want

289
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.759
any commercials, do that Apple Podcasts click uninterrupted listening. Great

290
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.279
way to support the show. So this weekend, Mike and

291
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.480
I talk about his top ten late night hosts of

292
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.759
all time. Monday morning Normal episode, and then Monday at

293
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:29.440
noon Eastern Time, the Comedy Survivor results. Voting is now

294
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.120
closed for this week. And now let's check in with

295
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:43.240
Burt Reynolds and the Comedy stock Market. Comedy stock Markets.

296
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.320
I've got some new listeners to the show, so let

297
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.639
me just explain this once one more time. Here what

298
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.240
we do, so every week we buy and sell stock

299
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.519
in comedians. Now, this is not saying somebody is good

300
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.840
or bad. The idea of the comedy stock market is

301
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.240
to make a profit. Sell high, buy low. So that's

302
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:02.639
why we're going to sell Nicki Glazer. Oh she's fantastic,

303
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.639
she's at peak right now. But you sell hih and

304
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:07.720
you buy low. Let's get out on Nicki Glazer. Cash

305
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:09.480
in our money, go buy a beach house with her

306
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.840
Nicki Glazer money. We did really well there, but it's

307
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.759
time to sell Nicki Glazer. Now we'll take some of

308
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.639
that money and let's buy some Trevor Noah, the Grammys

309
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.759
are coming up. People haven't really noticed that Trevor Noahs

310
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.639
about to resurface. He's very charismatic. He always does a

311
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.519
great job. So let's buy a little Trevor Noah. Let's

312
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.879
sell bow and Yang. Do we even have any Bowen

313
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.559
Yang stock left? If we do, let's sell it. I

314
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:34.519
am not sure at all what his post SNL career

315
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.240
is going to be. I'm struggling to figure out what

316
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.039
it is. He's got lost culturistas. He had a bad

317
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.279
week earlier in the week when people tried to cancel him.

318
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.759
I'm just not sure where we were heading with Bowen Yang.

319
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:49.120
So let's just sell out. Let's also sell Pete Davidson. Yes,

320
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.320
I'm upset that they're calling that thing a podcast. It's

321
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.600
not a podcast. It is a television show that you

322
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.559
watch on Netflix. In no way whatsoever is that a podcast.

323
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.480
But that beside the point. I don't trust Pete day Davidson.

324
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.639
I feel like Pete Davidson goes, hey, look at me,

325
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.120
and then everybody looks at him, and then he walks

326
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.639
away from things. I understand he struggles with mental health.

327
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.600
I wish the man well, but I don't trust that

328
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.000
Pete Davidson's about to host one hundred episodes of this

329
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.480
television show. So I want no part of it. Let's

330
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.080
sell our Pete Davidson, Let's sell our Tignataro. She's one

331
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.960
of the comedians, along with Genias Sheer and Patton Oswald,

332
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.000
who have helped to destroy the Star Trek brand. Tignatario

333
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.240
is on this horrible, horrible, horrible Starfleet Academy show. You

334
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.440
think I'm kidding about how goofed up that brand? Is?

335
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.120
I just looked they put the premiere episode up on YouTube.

336
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:39.919
It's got twenty thousand views, twenty thousand for Star Trek?

337
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.120
Are you kidding me? So, Tignatario, you're part of the problem.

338
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.679
We'll sell our Tignataro. And you know who we're gonna buy,

339
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:50.039
Joe Rogan. I feel like Joe Rogan has come around

340
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.759
and he sees what's going on, and he's realizing it's

341
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.320
all insane. And Joe Rogan's got a big enough platform

342
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.120
to say something about it. Whatever you think of Rogan

343
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.600
or not, he's got a big platform. And I feel

344
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:04.960
like Joe has seen the light. So we're gonna sell Nikki,

345
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:10.119
sell Bowen, sell Pete Davidson, sell Tignazaro by Trevor by

346
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:14.640
Rogan speaking of Tignatarro Out Magazine talk to her about

347
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.920
the horrible Starfleet Academy show. I guess Tig is now

348
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.480
a coach. She was an engineer in the Discovery episodes

349
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:22.319
that she was actually in, and then there'd be some

350
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.839
weeks her character, who is the chief engineer, just like

351
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.680
wouldn't be in it for some reason, conspiciously absent. I

352
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.240
don't know what was going on there. I guess she's

353
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.079
a touring comedian. Apparently she teaches it Starfleet Academy now

354
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.160
and Out magazine was curious how far is the particular

355
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.880
role of coach from the real Tignazarro. Tig said, I

356
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.720
always joked that I'm just tigging space. Oh, by the way,

357
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.039
she was on Kimmel the other day and she did

358
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.480
the Vulcan hand salute and she said she didn't know

359
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.720
what it was called, and I wanted to just smash

360
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:55.119
my television. Did Johnny mack takes his Star Trek very

361
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.920
very seriously? Tignataris said, I always joked I'm just taking space.

362
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.440
But the reality is I don't really like loud noises,

363
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:03.720
so whistle is out ALMOSTO a high school dropout, So

364
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.440
I think my teaching skills might be terribly lacking. Well,

365
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:09.200
I love the idea of being this confident, whistleblowing, clipboard

366
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.720
holding tough guy. Real life Meat would probably be like, yeah,

367
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.920
you're all doing great. I assume jet Reno her character

368
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.000
has real authority. I have quiet and dry observations. So

369
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.440
same tig at different galaxy, wildly different comfort level with

370
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.559
sports equipment. Tracy Morgan fans, pay attention. NBC woke up

371
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.119
out of bed and decided, you know what, let's do

372
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:31.000
a special early premiere of Tracy Morgan's new comedy, The

373
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:34.839
Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Yes, a hilarious new

374
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.640
comedy will make its debut Sunday at ten Eastern or so,

375
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.279
following coverage of the playoff game between the Los Angeles

376
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.759
Rams and the Chicago Bears. Then when you're all excited

377
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.000
about that show, you'll have to wait till Monday, February

378
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.279
twenty third, when they'll rerun that episode and then follow

379
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.440

00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.079
Rise of Reggie Dinkins. And that is your comedy news

381

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.359
Late Night ho that was a normal episode on Monday
