1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:13.960
comedy news. And if you're paying attention on Friday, you

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.120
heard me drop two good stories on the fly while

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.800
I've moved them here to the top of Monday's episode.

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:22.879
Congratulations to the folks at the eight hundred Pound Gorilla.

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.480
They've done a deal with Nate Brighetzy. They will become

7
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.800
the official audio and video distributor for the YouTube specials

8
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.840
of Nateland Entertainment. The partnership with the eight hundred Pound

9
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.000
Gorilla puts the Nateland Specials second window distribution of comedy

10
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.520
specials from Aaron Weber, Nick Fohn, and Greg Warren. The

11
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.119
Gorilla has similar deals with Kevin Hart's Laugh Out Loud

12
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.439
Network and All Things Comedy, which is Bill burn Almetricle's company.

13
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.399
One of the Gorilla suits said, with both of us

14
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.799
calling Nashville our home base, teaming up with Nate Brighetze

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.320
and Nate Land felt like the obvious move. Nate led

16
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.759
the global comedy touring numbers last year, and he's mapping

17
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.399
out even bigger plans as Nate Land's audience grows. We're

18
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.479
excited to be partners and helping propel that growth. Amen, Nate,

19
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.479
don't give up the comedy, because I'm telling you, in

20
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.159
about ten years, i'm gonna be doing a story. We're

21
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.840
gonna sit down, it's gonna be daily coming news. I'm

22
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.959
gonna be like, I can't believe they made Happy Gilmore seven,

23
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.519
and I'm gonna be like, uh yeah, Nate. Remember when

24
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.760
Nate Pergetsy was gonna open a theme park. Whatever happened

25
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.200
to that, Remember that that's coming, that story. You just

26
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.959
got to wait a decade, all right. Website The National

27
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.560
caught Bill Burr and Abu Dhabi. Now this was a

28
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.640
week ago Saturday, and I bumped this a couple of times.

29
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.519
I don't know if you noticed. Last week the episodes

30
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.879
were quite long as it was, and I figured this

31
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.680
could wait a minute. Spoilers if you're planning on seeing

32
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.359
Bill Burr overseas anyway. A lot of quotes from Burst

33
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.519
set here that i'll do in my again. It's a

34
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.640
it's not at all intended to be a Bill ber impression.

35
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.560
It's what I call on the show, a half ass impression.

36
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.000
I'm not really trying to do Burr's voice, but I'll

37
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.000
try and match his Cadence the best I can Burst said.

38
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.280
Every four years, the billionaires in my cuntry figure out

39
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.319
how to blame immigrants. You lose your job, you farm,

40
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:56.719
you can't buy a house, and I'll tell you it's

41
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.680
because some guy float in on a mattress from Cuba.

42
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.439
We always believe it because the white guy telling us.

43
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.239
We think, oh, white guy, I'm a white guy, the

44
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.599
same skin, same team. But it's not the same team,

45
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.000
not the same team at all. Racists white people have

46
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.479
to say, I don't have a problem with immigrants as

47
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.039
long as they come here the right way. Oh yeah,

48
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.120
did we The immigrant should leave and come back in

49
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.439
wooden ships and bring some COVID lace blankets. A bird

50
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.840
then started talking about Donald Trump. Burr said that Burr

51
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.000
does not understand what's going on with the leadership of

52
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.520
my country right now, and then started talking about Elon

53
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.879
Musk and that salute of sorts that mister Musk did

54
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.240
at one point, Remember that one. Burr said, there's a

55
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.240
moment in America if you did a Kaitlyn jennichoke, you

56
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.120
were taking your career in your hands. Five years later,

57
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.240
the sky has Nerd salutes not once, but twice once

58
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.439
to the front, once at the back. People try to

59
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.000
play it off with something else, and he didn't get

60
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.360
in trouble. What's happening. Burr then started talking about how

61
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.280
the achievements of ancient Egypt are questioned in Western discourse.

62
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.879
Burr said white people could accept that somebody could do

63
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.120
something they couldn't. If the Pyramids had happened in Italy,

64
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.560
they wouldn't be confused. They would say, today, we're gonna

65
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.560
try and figure out who built the Royal Colisseum? Was

66
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.240
it mermaids. Burr also discussed Jeff bezol thirty eight million

67
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.360
dollar wedding to Lauren Sanchez. Burr said, this guy's sewing

68
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.240
over his head. He spent thirty eight million dollars to

69
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.199
get married. Dude, you could have gone to Vegas and

70
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.919
got that for sixty nine bucks. You're giving a starter

71
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.439
lift ship thirty eight million dollars. It's because he's a nerd,

72
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.800
never had a girlfriend, he didn't play sports. It was

73
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.000
his an apartment playing on computers. He's not an idiot.

74
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.400
He's just then experienced. What's he going to get it

75
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.159
for a birthday? He read that a whole city, all

76
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.439
of Venice and if she even asked for that. He

77
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.000
probably wanted a Harry Potter theme leisure tag thing. She's

78
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.000
sitting there with her emotions looking out the window, saying

79
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.919
I was thinking maybe we could have a destination wedding,

80
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.120
and he's like, what do you mean, like Florida. He's

81
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:35.840
gonna be hanging out with the truck drivers. He doesn't

82
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.080
pay enough on the Amazon loading dock, saying I can't

83
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.680
make this woman happy. Burr said he would like to

84
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.000
go back, but says I'll come back in the winter.

85
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.840
That's when my wife will come. She'll support me on

86
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.800
the road, just not in July. That's pretty good material,

87
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.800
even with me half assed channeling it. You can tell

88
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.280
that some really good writing that is obviously performed a

89
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.000
trillion times better by Bill Burr. I'm just trying to

90
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.400
host a podcast here, serious case you knew. Not a

91
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.759
stand up comedian, not claiming to be a stand up comedian.

92
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.360
I've never tried to be a stand up comedian. I

93
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.039
don't want to be a stand up comedian. I'm not

94
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.719
saying I'm funny. I'm a guy in a basement reading

95
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.159
you comedy news headlines. That's all this is. Adam Sailor

96
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.160
Happy Gilmour two out on a Friday. Boy, I might

97
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:17.959
have to leave the country to avoid this whole thing.

98
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:22.920
Adam Sandler spoke to E Online about working alongside famous

99
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.879
Hollywood actress Sadie Sandler, who's nineteen, and Sonny Sandler, who

100
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.399
is sixteen. Adam told E News about the Sandler actresses,

101
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.519
once they do it, well, nothing feels better. As a parent.

102
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.000
It must be like when you're the parents of a

103
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.560
baseball player and you're at the game and they get

104
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.040
a hit. You just go thank God, just so much relief.

105
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.759
Acting is something the two kids love. My one daughter

106
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.720
study it in school and my other daughter studies it

107
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.480
while doing high school, and they love it. They talk

108
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.879
about it a lot, and he News tells us it's

109
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.720
not just storing in their dad's movies that excite Sadie

110
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.879
and Sonny. In fact, Jude Barrymore recounted a tender moment

111
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.920
of walking in on one of her children and one

112
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.959
of Adam's daughters watching their two thousand's rom com Fifth

113
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.279
First Dates, which, as you know as a frequent listener,

114
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.959
is one of the few good Adam Saylor movies. Drew said,

115
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.920
I was like, why are you guys watching this? Don't

116
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.560
you get enough of me and your dad? The Texas

117
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.560
Tribune Festival is coming to austin November thirteenth through the fifteenth.

118
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.240
I'm mentioning this because they announced influential voices who are

119
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.639
joining them. One of the influential voices who will be

120
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.079
at the Texas Tribune Festival in November John mulaney, and

121
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.040
the presser tells us mullany is a three time Emmy Award,

122
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:33.879
Critics Choice Award, and WGA Award winning writer, comedian and actor.

123
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.839
He's also a constitutional law NERD. So congratulations asterisk to

124
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.879
kill Tony. I saw the news media was picking up

125
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.600
claiming that kill Tony is now the number one podcast.

126
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.519
Now they are saying this because kill Tony showed up

127
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.680
at the top of the YouTube shorts and now this

128
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.600
is a whole thing in the podcasting industry. The easiest

129
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.639
thing to do is subscribe to the pod News newsletter

130
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.399
and subscribe to my substack, and you can hear us

131
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.759
going back and forth about this. So for us people

132
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.879
who live on Old Man Mountain, a podcast is what

133
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.879
I'm doing right now. It's audio. There are other things,

134
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.240
like an example, I'll use is Andrew Schultz interviewing President

135
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.920
Trump sitting on a couch and there's fake plants and

136
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.199
a four camera set up, and it's lit properly, and

137
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.199
all that YouTube thinks that's a podcast. And then somewhere

138
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.360
between what Schultz does and what I do is the truth. Anyway,

139
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.240
the YouTube charts include all kinds of things that US

140
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.680
old people might not consider podcasts. Now, do I consider

141
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.360
kill Tony podcasts? Yes, But in terms of audio podcasts,

142
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.720
what you listen to on say Apple podcasts or listen

143
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.439
to on your phone might be a better way to

144
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.800
describe it. Please understand, Joe Rogan is light years ahead

145
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.199
of everything else. Sometimes you'll see something show up at

146
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.600
the top of the charts, but the charts have a

147
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:52.680
recency bias based upon it's a regression of subscriptions and

148
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.240
listens within the last seventy two hours. So if you, sir,

149
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.519
start a podcast today and get I don't know, five

150
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.199
thousand of your friends to listen to it in the

151
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.160
next hour, you'll shoot up the charts. You won't stay there,

152
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.040
but you'll shoot up. So every now and then you'll

153
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.800
see something at the top of the charts. And I

154
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:09.839
always tell people, Hey, when you number one, take a

155
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.879
screen grab and tell everybody you're number one. So nobody

156
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.240
questions these things. So tap the breaks on kil Tony

157
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.959
having the number one podcast. If you're seeing that as

158
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.399
a headline, tap the breaks. He just might have had

159
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.079
a good week on YouTube and it's a good show.

160
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.439
Don't get me wrong. This just for last Montreal Comedy

161
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.439
Festival website is going to kill me. But things are

162
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.319
picking up here. As I look at tonight's lineup, looks

163
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.480
like the French shows have cleared out. I'm seeing a

164
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.079
bunch of things in English today. They include Ross Battle

165
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.360
Canada at five o'clock, The Culture Show at seven, there

166
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.360
is a French show at seven, the JFL Live Sessions,

167
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.199
probably an album taping at seven, another Rose Battle Canada

168
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.720
at eight, The Sketch Show hosted by Lou Lawrence at

169
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.199
eight thirty, The Nasty Show at nine to thirty, Double Threat,

170
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.319
Mark Little and Wally Barram at Tien at Ross Battle

171
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.600
Canada at ten thirty, Midnight Surprise eleven fifty nine. Okay,

172
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.639
so if we were in Montreal and I may have

173
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.000
to leave the country because of this Adam Sandler stuff,

174
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.759
so this might be my life very soon. I would say,

175
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.560
all right, at five o'clock, let's do Roast Battle Canada.

176
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.759
So that probably takes us to six thirty or so.

177
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.800
As we play this mental exercise, we've seen the Culture

178
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:17.639
Show ninety five times, so we don't need to go

179
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.319
see that. You know what, We should grab dinner and

180
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.519
then hit the sketch show at eight thirty. So we'll

181
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.040
grab dinner and a brew or two. Can I sidebar

182
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.319
slide bar for a second. Almost got alcohol distracted. I'll

183
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.559
come back to that. All right, eight thirty. Sketch Show,

184
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.279
will do that, and then let's see that's at the

185
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.360
Theater Saint Catherine. And so is the ten o'clock show

186
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.399
at the Theater Saint Katherine, Double Threat, Mark Little and

187
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.159
Wally Barram. So we'll see the sketch show and then

188
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.879
we'll walk across the hall to see Double Threat. And

189
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.360
then at that point, I've been seeing comedy shows since

190
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.120
five o'clock, and we've had a meal and I've had

191
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.720
a couple drinks. There you can go to midnight Surprise.

192
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.919
I'm going to bed. So, speaking of alcohol, I forgot

193
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.159
to share the story the other day. So volleyball on Wednesday,

194
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.879
which why I didn't watch the SP's live. First of all,

195
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.360
so I'm not that good at volleyball. I play volleyball,

196
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.240
but I'm not that good. But I can kind of serve.

197
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.440
But one thing I do, and I nail this. I'm

198
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.919
so happy with myself. I'm humble bragging here. So Wednesday night,

199
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:17.200
it's game three. It's twenty three twenty three. First team

200
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.000
to twenty five wins, but you have to win by two,

201
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:23.320
and my serve comes up. I do this thing where

202
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.799
I make it look like I'm a lot better at

203
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.840
serving than I am. I'm a good server, but I'm

204
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.320
not like a Hall of Fame server. What I do

205
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.159
is I go up to the line and I really

206
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.919
slow down the game. My teammates know I do this,

207
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.000
and I look over and I just look down the

208
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.080
other team, and I make it look like I'm going

209
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.440
to place the ball exactly where I want. And then

210
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.159
I serve it short. And if I pull that off,

211
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.759
even if they return it, that's fine. But if I

212
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.279
pull that off, now it looks like, oh, I did

213
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.799
that on purpose. And then if I get the second point,

214
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.960
I'm in their heads now and I do it again.

215
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.399
So I got the first point. So it's twenty four

216
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.919
to twenty three. And I got the second point. And

217
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.440
what happens is because I hit the first one short,

218
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.399
they start to move up, expecting me to soft serve

219
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.600
because apparently that's what I do. I took my time

220
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.879
at the line and I did a hard serve and

221
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:10.399
I hate it right where the pin is because if

222
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.720
you hit it where the pin is, the ball doesn't

223
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.600
spin as much, and then when it does start spinning,

224
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.759
it drops immediately. And I went bam and it dropped

225
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.200
right between the four of them. Walk off when felt

226
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.799
good about myself. Then we went to the bar and

227
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:24.960
I didn't know BlackBerry cider is a thing. Why didn't

228
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.240
anyone tell me? BlackBerry sider is a thing. I know

229
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:31.000
about various siders, Irish American ances Stream. I've been drinking

230
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.279
ciders for decades. I love a nice cider over ice.

231
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.919
And the nice waitress was like, I was like, what

232
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.279
kind of sider do you have? She's like, we have

233
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.000
a BlackBerry sider. I'm like, BlackBerry sider, Okay, boys delicious.

234
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.840
I had two of those and I digress a new

235
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.559
special outs today on the eight hundred pound Gorilla. Paul

236
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.559
Foot's Dissolve is available for early access. Meanwhile, The Edinburgh

237
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.320
News had a preview of Seaton Smith, who had been

238
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.519
opening for John mulaney. Seaton is going to the Edinburgh

239
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.759
Fringe Fees and a lot of you know that. I

240
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.879
host the Weekly Comedy Thing on the Live One app.

241
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.519
The app is free, the show is free. The Weekly

242
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.759
Comedy Thing is like this. I talk less and I

243
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.960
play comedy bits in between, much shorter versus of the story.

244
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.039
I was playing some Seaton Smith stuff on this week's show.

245
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.360
Boy He is good. Let's keep an eye on Seaton Smith.

246
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.360
Like good, good Good. His show Trauma Bonding will be

247
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:25.440
at the Pleasant Courtyard Spoilers. The show opens with a

248
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.080
wide lens from plane crashes to presidential politics. Seaton Smith

249
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.519
dissects the news with a mix of sharp observation and

250
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.120
wide eyed disbelief. But it's not long before the spotlight

251
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.159
turns inward. His chaotic childhood, complicated dating life, and a

252
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.559
recent moped crash all tikes center stage. At one point,

253
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.039
Spoilers even ends up in a hospital after trying to

254
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.200
be Batman. It's a wild ride, but Smith knows what

255
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.440
he's doing. He weaves high energy punchlines through stories that

256
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.720
take strange, sometimes emotional turns. One minute, he's reliving a

257
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.840
mountain biking accident, the next, he's unpacking family trauma. Somehow

258
00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:00.000
it all holds together. Keep an eye on Seaton Smith. Okay,

259
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.639
that is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.
