00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.000
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey Aaron, Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.000
comedy news. Ronnie Chang specials out on Netflix Today. Friend

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:15.960
of the show, Jason Zinnemann of The New York Times

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.359
has it ranked as his number one I'm looking forward

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.359
to watching it tonight. Love to Hate It was taped

6
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:24.320
at the historic Hawaii Theater in Honolulu, where he had

7
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.079
a five nights sold out show. In Love to Hate It,

8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.559
Ronnie talks about the indignities of the IVF process, the

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.000
pitfalls of being a man on the Internet, American politics,

10
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.119
and the place of the older generation in today's world.

11
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.200
He had written a piece for The Wall Street Journal

12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.960
and said his first exposure to American comedy was watching

13
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.119
Jerry Seinfeld's stand up intervals on the Seinfeld sitcom. You

14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.280
also watched The Lead Show with David Letterman, right, we

15
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.600
like the same kinds of comedy, he wrote. I watched

16
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.159
because stand up looked interesting. Comedians would walk on stage,

17
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.159
talk to the audience and make jokes, and people laughed,

18
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.479
including me. Interview magazine got a good interviewer. The interviewer

19
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.799
was Harry Seinfeld, the subject Ronnie ching. Ronnie said, I'm

20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.719
surprised you agreed to do this. Jerry said, you know

21
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.640
something about you. You just want to say, yes, you

22
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.480
got that thing. I have it two you know? And laughs?

23
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.280
How you doing ching? I'm okay, I'm actually in la.

24
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.519
I just did Kimmel. I heard he did Fellon. I

25
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.799
did well. They tell me how busy you were and

26
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.840
how much I should be thankful that you've decided to

27
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.400
speak to me. I'm still not over it. Seinfeld said,

28
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.439
I think it's time. I used to get this thing

29
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.319
I would call a twenty four hour talk show virus.

30
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.280
You do a talk show, no matter what it could be, fantastic, mediocre, whatever.

31
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.840
You don't feel good for twenty four hours. Do you

32
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:33.840
have that, Ronnie? Now? I think I probably have the

33
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.079
forty eight hour one. I get it twenty four hours

34
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.719
before the interview and then twenty four hours after. I'm

35
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.840
sick the whole time. You don't go on and be sincere.

36
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.599
You want to be funny, but you don't want to

37
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.000
just do a set. Jerry, Yeah, I went and did

38
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.640
a set and it felt terrible about it. And I

39
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.280
watched you tell a story about the night of the election.

40
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.799
I thought that's what I should have done. I don't

41
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.760
have any stories though. I don't understand these shows. What's

42
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.519
going on here? Are we worthless or valuable? Chang says,

43
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.359
I get my kicks from connecting to people I only

44
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.519
know from watching on TV comedians. We a lot of

45
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.359
reverence history. There are institutions that I'm just happy to

46
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.760
be able to touch once in a while. That's why

47
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.359
I do it. I'm like all my heroes used to

48
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.040
do this, but then I didn't know if I should

49
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.159
do so much press. You're the one who actually told me,

50
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.919
what are you talking about? Do all the press? Jerry? Absolutely, Ronnie,

51
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.479
So just to be clear, you're also doing this for press, Jerry, Yes.

52
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.199
I like to think back to my early days of

53
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.039
doing clubs, when I didn't even ask how many days

54
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.599
I worked here, how many shows they did? Whatever you

55
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.120
told me was fine. The club owner would say to me,

56
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.759
I want to do an extra show, and I'd go

57
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.840
an extra show, and it'd say, what's the difference? All

58
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.280
you do is talk? I came from that. Now the

59
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:31.960
comedians are like, well, we want to know what makes

60
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.439
you tick. I've watched the you know, go from zero

61
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.479
all the way to this insane place that it is now, Ronnie.

62
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:38.840
Do you think it's gonna go back to where they

63
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.360
don't care about what makes us tick anymore? Jerry, Yes,

64
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.240
I do. We're in the red zone now. I think

65
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:44.960
tact is gonna have to come back, and what will

66
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.000
make it come back is aging. When you're in your fifties,

67
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.680
you don't care about anybody else's problems. Ronnie. The thing

68
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.599
that irks me is they don't actually care what makes

69
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.960
you sick. They're just asking because they're trying to feel

70
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.759
words in a column or keep the interview going. Most

71
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.240
people don't care, Jerry. I have a new line in

72
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.080
my set that I just started doing. It's unbelievably gratifying.

73
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.919
It's a long run about what's annoying in the world.

74
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.439
I say. I find that whenever people talk, it tends

75
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.520
to be annoying. At this point in life, the hardest

76
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.280
thing any of us have to do is not scream.

77
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.039
I don't care into the face of anyone that says anything.

78
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.759
In the audience totally loves it. Pete Davison told The

79
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.159
Hollywood Reporter he just wants to be known for doing

80
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.199
great work, but only every couple of years. Pete said

81
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.199
in the Sopranos. There's this line from Tony that's like,

82
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.599
you ever feel like you got into something of the

83
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.280
end when the good times are over. That's how I

84
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.680
feel about show business and being a celebrity. It's over.

85
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.479
When you're first coming up getting all these offers, it's

86
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.080
hard to say no because you're hungry. I made the

87
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.199
mistake of doing literally everything. Now I am older and wiser,

88
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.439
and I'm realizing that less is more. Like Christian Bale.

89
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.439
He does one movie every two three years, but you

90
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.360
go see it. Leo Dicabrio does one movie every four years,

91
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:43.919
but it's the biggest thing of the world. It's because

92
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.120
you miss them, people have to miss you. I just

93
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.680
want to be known for doing good work. I want

94
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.159
to be out there only when it's a movie, stand

95
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.400
up charity, or business ventures. That's what I want to

96
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.199
be seen. I don't want to be this loser who

97
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.240
just dates people. That's not who I am. But people

98
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.000
hate celebrities now. The media takes a handful of celebs

99
00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:59.840
every couple of years and they just destroy them for

100
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.599
some reason. I'm one of the people they choose to

101
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.840
go after. It's actually, in a way a blessing because

102
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.000
it's allowed me to take a step back and evaluate things.

103
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.639
Who do you want to be? Who are you? I'm

104
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.560
someone who's from Staten Island want to do stand up.

105
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.840
But if I got to do anything else because of

106
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.879
stand up, it's a miracle. Hmm. I can't speak for

107
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.199
other I know when I talk about Pete, I usually

108
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.519
come from a place of like, hey, dude, I'm rooting

109
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:21.319
for you because I see the struggles he's going through.

110
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.120
But I guess I see the celebrity gossip part of

111
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.160
Pete Davidson's dating so and so. Yeah, I've done that too,

112
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.199
I get it. Beete says he's very happy where he

113
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.319
is right now mentally, and feels lucky that he was

114
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.199
woken up about being hit on the face with the

115
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.600
Hollywood shovel right. I found out a little bit more

116
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.360
about Nabrigatzi's Christmas special, which is out on Thursday. The

117
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.720
Nate is about to be massively overexposed between the CBS

118
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.759
thing and his Netflix special. We're going to start to

119
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.439
get sick about Nate, I think, and I love him.

120
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.279
There is a trailer for the special where you know

121
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.480
the thing where he plays George Washington and says ridiculous,

122
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.120
and people ask questions and he gives answers, and you

123
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.000
know you've seen the sketcharent he's doing a version of

124
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.439
that where he's an angel or something like that. Meanwhile, Ways,

125
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.759
you know the map thing on your phone. I'm a

126
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.839
big fan of Ways. They tell us calling all comedy lovers,

127
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.680
buckle up and get ready to hit the road with

128
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.800
the hilarious Naprighezzi. As you're Way's driving companion. Nate isn't

129
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.519
just a comedian. He also happens to love driving and

130
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.040
is always ready with a joke or quirky observation to

131
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.800
make the miles fly by. No we don't want this,

132
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.759
No no no, no, no, no no no. Just tell

133
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:27.959
me in three miles of the highway splits and I

134
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.759
need to go left. That's all I need to know.

135
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.959
Nate's sense of humor takes the edge off your daily

136
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.839
commute no won't, and brings a smile to your drive.

137
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.639
Expect witty commentary, relatable anecdotes, and a healthy dose of

138
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.360
Southern charm. What Ai wrote that sentence, This Ways experience

139
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.720
is all about enjoying the solitude of the open road

140
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.480
and embracing the unexpected turns of life. Is it the

141
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.040
open road or is it my commute? Pick a narrative here, guys,

142
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.240
as you hear Nate put it. Shout out to everyone

143
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.199
driving with a list of errands from their spouse. There's

144
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.120
no time let on these errands. Okay, you could be

145
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.720
gone for months. Make sure you have the latest version

146
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.040
of Ways and look for the Nate forgets thee Benner

147
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.240
in the left side column. Any of the app No thanks? Uh.

148
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.120
Dane Cook is starring in the dark comedy thriller Boris

149
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.759
Is Dead. Boris Is Dead follows a struggling actor working

150
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.000
as a waiter played by Dean Cook, who unwittingly becomes

151
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.439
involved in a violent Heights gone wrong where his boss,

152
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.279
deep in debt, has been stealing from employees and running

153
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.199
the restaurant is a front for the mob. Oh no.

154
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.319
Josh Blue is that comedy works downtown. This week he

155
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.519
spoke to Colorado Public Radio. They were curious if his

156
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.600
timing and delivery have changed since he started, and Josh

157
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.600
Blue said, I feel like I've always had impeccable timing,

158
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.240
even as a kid. I could just zip something in

159
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:38.920
with the teacher and the whole class would laugh. I've

160
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.480
always had that gift, but I feel like it's definitely evolved,

161
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.480
and I've gotten more comfortable in the silence. I'll let

162
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.439
something ride longer the laughter go, and then when I

163
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.120
do hit them, it's even harder. What's beautiful about stand

164
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.040
up is I'll never figure it out completely. Every time

165
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.879
I think I've got something pinned down, something new in

166
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.600
the world happens, or something in my brain puts a

167
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.040
new connection together. There's no end to this. I have

168
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.360
a bit where somebody would get up to go to

169
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.560
the bathroom and I'll be like, where you go, And

170
00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.759
they go to the bathroom, and I'll be like, you

171
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.160
want to wait? And then I will wait the entire

172
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.959
time they're gone. It gets a laugh without me saying anything,

173
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.600
and I mean minutes go by without me saying something,

174
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.120
just a facial expression or body movement, and I can

175
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.399
get it. When they come back. It's like a standing

176
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.720
ovation that people are so happy this person came back

177
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:19.199
from the bathroom. It's really fun. Josh Blue nineteenth through

178
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.959
the twenty first It comedy works downtown. All right, you

179
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.680
need New Year's Eve plans. Here's something I guess you

180
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.560
could go with NBC announced the day Drinking with Seth

181
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.160
Meyers New Year's special. It's an hour look back at

182
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.000
Seth Meyers's drunken interactions with Rihanna post Malone, Kelly Clarkson

183
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.399
Blah blah blah it Al air from eleven thirty to

184
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.879
twelve thirty five AM on New Year's Eve. It is

185
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.319
unclear how they're going to handle the whole midnight thing.

186
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.600
Not that hard. You could just do an insert somewhere.

187
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.600
You could time the thing out. I've pre recorded some

188
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.600
New Year's Eve specials in my radio career. It can

189
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.319
be done. Quick story there. Before the merger, when it

190
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.560
was just serious, I used to do a New Year's

191
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.879
Eve special, rowd Dog's Effing New Year's Eve, and we

192
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:02.839
would time it out so it aired at midnight. But

193
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.959
we learned from the engineers for the signal to go

194
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.600
from the computer up to space and back to your

195
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.120
radio was twenty three seconds. But I can do math,

196
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:11.639
so we used to time it out, so we would

197
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.399
play at eleven fifty nine thirty seven and then hit

198
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.480
your radio right at midnight. And it was kind of cool.

199
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.639
And then we merged with XM, and XM had different

200
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.519
technology and so there was no way to do it anymore.

201
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.360
So then we just started doing approximately midnight there, up

202
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.319
and back was not twenty three seconds, it was a

203
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.639
different number. And then they started with the Internet and

204
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.279
the internet delay was a totally different number. So when

205
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.000
is midnight? We had four different answers. Last year NBC

206
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.799
aired Sunday Night Football. Before that, they were doing the

207
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.840
Lorne Michaels thing. Remember Pete Davidson was part of that. Yeah,

208
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.720
that went away quietly. In case you're curious, CBS has

209
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.000
a five hour country music special out of Nashville. ABC

210
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.039
has Dick Clarks New Year's Rock and Eve with Ryan Seacrest,

211
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.279
and over on CNN, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen will

212
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.759
probably have a couple beverages, as they tend to do.

213
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.559
On her podcast, Samantha Bee talked about Luigi man GEONI

214
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.080
you know, the guy accused of killing the guy She

215
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.159
was asked about, where's the line? She says, how do

216
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.559
you know when you've gone too far? I'm not a

217
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.240
person who finds murder amusing in the least. That's a

218
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.159
hard limit, no matter how bizarre or engaging the details.

219
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.960
Are You ever watch darts The World of Darts Championship

220
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.639
is going on right now. You'll find it on YouTube

221
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.399
if you're in the States. It is the most entertaining

222
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.879
thing at all. Basically, these guys walk up the Brits

223
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.639
right now are like, we know, but the Americans don't

224
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:27.159
know anything about the darts. They don't know it. Let

225
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.679
me explain it to them. Okay, So because everybody does

226
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.960
this for a living, the commentators are like, oh, he

227
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.200
needs to hit a twenty twenty and a triple seventeen

228
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.559
to get to whatever the number is. These guys just

229
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.600
walk up to the line, like you know, when I

230
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.480
play darts at the bar, I stand there for a second.

231
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:41.879
These guys just walk up to the line. They're like

232
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.320
whoa who who and they're just you know, they're pros,

233
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.039
but they're great. And then announcer will be like, all right,

234
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:48.919
this guy needs a triple sixteen and a bulls eye

235
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.480
and it just moves now the crowd. The crowd dresses

236
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.360
up like they're on let's make a deal. And everybody,

237
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.440
I think they've all had a couple beverages. So this

238
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.799
whole thing is fun to watch. I recommend on. So

239
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.279
a guy's been walking around dressed up as Ali G.

240
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.799
It turns out it's Jack Whitehall who posted the Darts

241
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.039
the Greatest show on Earth. Wish I still had the

242
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.480
stamina for it, and he shared some pictures of himself

243
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.600
dressed as Ali G getting in the spirit of things.

244
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.480
It's a lot of fun. I was in Australia one

245
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.039
time for Christmas and just started channel surfing because it

246
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.639
was nighttime and wasn't anything else to do. Everything was

247
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.720
closed and I came across darts and I'm like, this

248
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:29.039
is amazing. British comedian Russell Howard will premiere his new

249
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.679
stand up special Russell Howard Live at the London Palladium

250
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:36.080
as a global streaming event January fifteenth. On the Drift platform,

251
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.240
Drift is spelled with two eyes. I think my eyesight

252
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.840
isn't that good anymore. But that looks like or iiftes

253
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.399
drift or no drift. I don't know how you pronounce it.

254
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.000
Drift just spell things normally. You're making things too difficult

255
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.759
on yourself. The sixty minutes special was recorded during Howard's

256
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.000
international tour. The stream will include Off the Cuff, a

257
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.240
bonus program featuring exclusive content totally random. Did you watch

258
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.600
the Yellowstone finale. I won't spoil it here. I have

259
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.919
so many questions. And I was hanging out in the

260
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.120
reddit and somebody said like, Hi, I'm Chris Hardwick. Welcome

261
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.879
to Talking Yellowstone. And after that finale we needed Talking Yellowstone.

262
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.720
I'll give you a couple of days to watch them.

263
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.919
But I have so many questions. All right, maybe Friday

264
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.759
I'll ask you about Yellowstone. All right, did you watch it?

265
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.639
Hit me on the Facebook group and that's your daily

comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell

267
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.240

268
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.960
them about it like in the middle of January when

269
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.120
the comedy news is back. Today wasn't filler. I actually

270
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.320
bounced stories today, so today was not filler. Take that back.

271
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.320
You can tell them today. Hey, there is this show.

272
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.960
This guy talks about darts and Yellowstone. You're gonna love it.

273
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:38.960
See you tomorrow.
