1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.480
Caalorokashock Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.519
It's incredible. There's like six things today that normally would

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.839
just be a lead story. But let's start with THEO.

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.399
Vaughn Is fans are worried. Last week, THEO was recording

5
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.000
his Netflix special at the Beacon Theater. It is being

6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:31.000
described as a brutal showcase filled with gaffs and embarrassing moments.

7
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.320
People in the audience said THEO halted his performance as

8
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.640
many as ten times throughout the nights, that THEO frequently

9
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.159
left the stage, asked a producer to remind him of punchlines,

10
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.600
and THEO struggled to finish stories. Some people that were

11
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.479
there said a third of the crowd left before the

12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.799
show ended. And again, this isn't just a regular show,

13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.200
this is a Netflix taping. There are clips on social

14
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.600
media circulating. I'm choosing not to play it, but in it,

15
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.000
the THEO says I'm having a long month and I'm

16
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.439
trying not to take my own life. It's unclear how

17
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.520
serious he was or if he was joking with the

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.239
audience and everyone, remember, if you're struggling, you're not alone.

19
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.319
Help is available, call her text the Suicide and Crisis

20
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.719
Lifeline at nine to eight eight anytime, day or night

21
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.959
come and shared with Men's Journal called the night a

22
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.200
roller coaster. One audience member said THEO had to pause

23
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.480
the show to ask for the punchlines several times. Another

24
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.000
audience member said he seemed unrehearsed and disorganized, repeating bits

25
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.400
multiple times, clearly trying to get it right for the camera.

26
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.959
This killed the vibe in the theater. Another said it

27
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.519
took THEO six times to get through one anecdote and

28
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.400
that THEO appeared exhausted and anxious. Hope everything is okay there.

29
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.000
David Letterman was on the Barbara Gains Show. That is

30
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.840
the uh deliberately simply produced YouTube thing that Dave will

31
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.200
pop on. He called Jimmy Kimmel's first monologue word perfect,

32
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.799
describing it as funny, powerful, and moving. Letterman then turned

33
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.040
his attention to President Donald Trump, who had called David

34
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.760
Letterman overrated and a loser. Dave had this to say.

35
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.879
But boy, the cowardice that is on display now and here, now,

36
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.360
this is just my thought. Do you want to hear

37
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.120
any of I do? And I can't verify this. This

38
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:13.599
is just how I feel. This is just what it

39
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.360
looks like to me. People seem to be stunned when

40
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.240
things like this happen, and I am so tired of

41
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.759
people being stunned by things like this, because we have

42
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.639
a pretty good history of being stunned by this guy.

43
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.000
And the reason he continues to behave this way not

44
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.080
because he wants to stun us, but because he's a dictator,

45
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.599
and dictators do things like this. I think the question

46
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.199
we need to ask ourselves now is what exactly are

47
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.280
we going to do about this.

48
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.240
Nimesh Patel pulled out of the Riodd Comedy Festival. He

49
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.400
posted this on social media. I've got some comments on

50
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:51.039
the back end.

51
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.039
Hey, it's me Nimesh Patel. Asalamlekam.

52
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:54.400
No.

53
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.680
I am not attending the read Comedy Festival I was

54
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.000
stated to attend. I initially had accepted the offer, but

55
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.199
I canceled last week after having a change of heart.

56
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.639
I was going to cancel quietly, but then the event

57
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.639
went viral in the last two days and now I

58
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.240
feel like people are tagging me. I have to explain

59
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.599
myself at least a little bit. No, I'm not attending.

60
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.360
I just figured you know what, I'll just do forty

61
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.759
shows that I had not planned on doing here in

62
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:25.479
the perfectly clean moral above everyone else, United States of America.

63
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.039
I'm tired just thinking about it to make up for

64
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.719
the lost bag. So that's what I'll do. I'm gonna

65
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.840
do forty shows that I had not planned on doing

66
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.560
that I haven't even been launched yet that we're now

67
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.919
trying to figure out between now and the end of

68
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.319
the year to make up for the lost bag before

69
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.280
my theater tour kicks off. So if you want to

70
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.560
hear my rationale, come out to those shows whenever they are,

71
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.400
or come out to the theater tour in joke for them.

72
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.240
I'll explain why I decided not to go because this

73
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:04.400
clip was not at all sincerity is so stupid. Man,

74
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.400
I gotta go prep for this checking in comedy festival

75
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.039
that I'm doing, all right. I enjoy the rest of

76
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.319
your doves, all right. I hope to see you. I'm

77
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.439
not going. Sorry to the people of Saudi. I very

78
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.319
much would have appreciated performing for you, guys. I know

79
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.279
you're all good people over there, and I know I

80
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.240
have some fans over there, and hopefully you remain fans

81
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.399
and hopefully you understand, all right, deuces.

82
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:36.800
Mister Prittel, that's a bad look. You're just I get it.

83
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.560
You want to get paid, then get paid. Don't don't

84
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.759
killed us that you got to do forty shows now

85
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.839
not a good look at all. By Nimesh Patel Otsco

86
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.240
at Conska revealed that she turned down the Riodd Comedy

87
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.160
Festival and shared the details of the offer. She went

88
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.079
on social media and posted a screenshot of the offer

89
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.800
she allegedly received her perform at the Riodd Comedy Festival.

90
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.399
In her post, Otsgo noted that the booking came with

91
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.319
censorship rules. She wrote, the money's coming straight from the

92
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.560
Crown Prince who actively executes journalists, people with non lethal

93
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.839
drug offenses, bloggers, et cetera, without due process. A lot

94
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.279
of the you can't say anything anymore. Comedians are doing

95
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.319
the festival. They had to appear to do censorship rules

96
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.160
about the types of jokes they can make. Otsgo shared

97
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.360
a screenshot of content restrictions from the alleged offer. The

98
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.759
document she shared reads artists shall not prepare or perform

99
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.279
any material that may be considered to degrade to fame

100
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.720
or bring into public distribute contempt, scandal, embarrassment, or ridicule

101
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.319
A the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including its leadership, public figures,

102
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.319
culture or people. B the Saudi Royal family, legal system,

103
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.319
or government, and see any religious religious tradition, religious figure,

104
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.759
or religious practice. Man, can you imagine a leader of

105
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.560
a country trying to stop comedians from making fun of

106
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.319
its leadership or public figures or certain people. Can't imagine

107
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.160
that happening, And I mean I live in the United

108
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.839
States America. That would never happen here. Tonight at the

109
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.600
Rio Comedy Festival, Ali Sadik brings whip smart storytelling. Expect

110
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.399
observational riffs, CrowdWork, and slow burning stories that land. Big

111
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.839
Pete Davidson was on Theo's podcast last week and he

112
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.639
called out the Internet for turning on Pedro Pascal. Pete

113
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.240
said two years ago, he's a hard working, great actor.

114
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.040
Everyone was like, he's worked so hard and has been

115
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.920
a struggling actor. He blows up. I'm paraphrasing as Pete

116
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.160
used several f words in this. Pedro blows up so

117
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.439
bleeping hard. Everyone's like, daddy, daddy, Yeah, daddy daddy. Then

118
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.399
a year later he's in everything now because he's hot

119
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.720
and big and everyone's like, go the f away, dude.

120
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.120
You got to give someone that time to adjust to

121
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.959
a new level of fame. He's been banging at it

122
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:41.639
for thirty years and now he's learning how to go

123
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.199
get a cup of coffee, or like deal with someone

124
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:44.800
that taps you on the shoulder while you have your

125
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.560
earbuds in and freaks you out. You got to give

126
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.839
that guy a second adjust It's like we build everybody up.

127
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.879
It's like so fast, turn on the celebrity. The turn

128
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.160
is crazy. Pete then suggested that the social media is

129
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.399
going to do it with Walton Goggins next. It's like

130
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.639
within months. Walton Goggins saw this and responded on Instagram.

131
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.399
Walton Goggins writes, I saw this article and had to respond.

132
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.480
Pete was talking about his own experience. Pete, we don't

133
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.199
know each other, but I appreciate the heads up. We're

134
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.160
ground one thing. Pedro Pascal isn't a good man. He's

135
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.519
a great man, a dear friend of mine. As a

136
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.000
fifty three year old, I'm acutely aware that every experience

137
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.120
has a shelf life. I appreciate so many of you

138
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.800
going on this journey with me. I imagine that a lot

139
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:24.600
of you, and I don't blame you, are tired of

140
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.279
hearing my homilies. Trust me, I'm tired of saying them.

141
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:28.839
Have a few things coming out that I have an

142
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.959
obligation to talk about, not for me, mind you, but

143
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:32.720
to honor all those that work so hard to bring

144
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.079
these stories to fruition. So if you see something with

145
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.000
my name on it, I encourage you not to click

146
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.319
on it unless you want to, and if you do,

147
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.959
I appreciate the sport. See to me, being included in

148
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.360
this headline isn't a curse, It's a blessing. How lucky

149
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.600
am I that this is even a possibility. I've had

150
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.480
the good fortune of engaging in so many interesting conversations

151
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.959
with so many of you, of collaborating with so many

152
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.639
top shelf people across so many disciplines over the last

153
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.680
couple of years, Way more than a poor kid from

154
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.319
Georgia would ever have the audacity to imagine. I wouldn't

155
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.560
take one back. So if saying yes in life more

156
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.199
than saying no is a crime, then I'm guilty as charged.

157
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.720
Walton Goggins had added, if this headline is a possibility

158
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.360
or an inevitability. If this is my fate, well f it.

159
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.040
I'm going to enjoy the all caps F out of it.

160
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.839
Heather McMahon, What are you doing?

161
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:16.600
So?

162
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.680
Heather McMahon was hosting like PGA coverage over the weekend.

163
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.920
She stepped away from Sunday's coverage and apologized to golfer

164
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:29.680
Rory McElroy for a vulgar chant. The PGAA of America

165
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.879
put out a statement which reads, Heather has extended an

166
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.480
apology to Rory McElroy and Writer Cup Europe and a

167
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.720
step down from hosting the first t of the Writer Cup.

168
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:42.000
You see, Heather McMahon was captured on social media starting

169
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.159
an F you Rory chant into a megaphone at the

170
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.360
first t of the event. She was trying to get

171
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.679
the US crowd amped up. What are you doing? That's

172
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.240
just stupid. You're there, you're hosting the coverage and you're

173
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:59.159
going to start an F you chant? What is wrong

174
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.039
with you? My dog is here. I got to tell

175
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.399
people about what's happening on late night TV. We can't

176
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.080
go out right now. We've been out three times in

177
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.320
the last hour. You got to chilax Conan O'Brien was

178
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.360
on Stephen Colbert last night. I got to tell people

179
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.759
about this doggie. Now, what am I supposed to do?

180
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.440
Are you gonna make me hit Paul this? But what

181
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.960
about Codon O'Brien on Stephen Colbert. Can't this way two minutes?

182
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:26.000
All right? I guess we'll be right back. I'm laughing.

183
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.399
I did pause that. I'm looking at the wave that

184
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.399
I can see these big giant spikes in the audio

185
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.399
where worry. Oh the dog did need to go out,

186
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.000
by the way, I'll leave it at that. Conan O'Brien

187
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.799
was on with Colbert last night. Now, that's an interesting

188
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.679
twist in the Late Night Wars and I'll cover that tomorrow.

189
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.480
I got to relax at the bonus episodes. I mean,

190
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:47.879
I don't want you guys to be like another episode.

191
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.480
So back to normal schedules here. But that's interesting in

192
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.000
the Late Night Wars because Jimmy Kimmel is in Brooklyn

193
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.519
this week. Now on Tuesday night, Colbert and Kimmel are

194
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.960
going on each other shows. Kimmel and Colbert will take

195
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.159
in Brooklyn. Then they're going to head to the ed

196
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.960
Sellivan Theater for Colbert's taping. So is Kimmel recording like

197
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.360
in the middle of the afternoon. That's interesting, right, because

198
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.399
Colbert probably tapes at five thirty, so we actually have

199
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.240
to record the show. He got to commute from Brooklyn

200
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.559
to Midtown Manhattan, no easy thing at rush hour. I

201
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.519
also am curious how that affects Colbert's prep right, because

202
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.919
you know, normally he'd be around right before the taping,

203
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.120
but he's going to head to Brooklyn, so he's got

204
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.919
to start his day earlier. But then he has to

205
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.960
change his mindset for two three hours and then get

206
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.360
back into hosting mode. That that's just interesting. As somebody

207
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.960
who's been in the media for thirty years. There is

208
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.240
something to be said for the mindset earthquake specialist that

209
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.120
out on Netflix today. It is called Joke Telling Business.

210
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.919
He had a previous Dave Chappelle produced special back in

211
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.519
twenty twenty two. By the way, I've been googling, like

212
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.679
Bill bur Riod, Dave Chappelle Riod, no news coming out

213
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.440
of there, earthquake tells youatl dot com. There wouldn't be

214
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.799
no earthquake if it wasn't for Atlanta. Landa is where

215
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.440
I learned to tell a joke. I'm still eating off

216
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.320
the lesson of the blessings I received one there in

217
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.480
ninety one. I went to Atlanta because CNN said this

218
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.919
was the best place to come if you were an

219
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.279
African American looking for a good job to prosper. I

220
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:08.960
had never been to Atlanta. I just went off that

221
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.519
recommendation and stepped out on stage one day and kept going.

222
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.679
And I haven't gotten off since. He was initially frustrated

223
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.120
when one of the premier Atlanta venues for black comics

224
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.879
wouldn't let him perform. Mom suggested he open his own

225
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.440
comedy club. She said, you know when I told you

226
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.320
when you were little, if somebody don't let you rather bike,

227
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:25.960
go get your own bike. I told her I couldn't

228
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.039
have my own comedy club, and she said why not?

229
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.080
So that's what I did. He opened Uptown Comedy Corner

230
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.200
and Bucket in nineteen ninety two. Mister Quake is currently

231
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.399
developing a half hour sitcom based on his life for Fox.

232
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.559
And I've been telling you about the legion of cool comedians.

233
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.600
You know, these are comedians doing really cool things like

234
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.440
Jim Gaffikins selling bourbon or Tom Papa's bread products, or

235
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.080
even Sebastian Maniscalco hockeying pizza ovens when he's not at

236
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.759
the Riog Comedy Festival. Anyway, ben Stiller has gotten into

237
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:58.120
low calorie SODA's that's right, it's Stiller's soda. How cool

238
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.440
is that? Does he make a cola? Because you could

239
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.799
take some Jim gaffickin bourbon, maybe put a little colon

240
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.960
it and have like a really cool drink. Well, the

241
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.600
answer is stiller soda comes in lemon, lime, Shirley temple,

242
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.039
and root beer. So I'm not sure how that's going

243
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.840
to mix with the bourbon. We're told the collection brings

244
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.519
in inspiration from ben Steller's childhood growing up in New

245
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.200
York City, which makes it sound like Ben Stiller grew

246
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.240
up in the nineteen thirties. He's three years older than me,

247
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.320
so let's relax with the old timey sodas you grew

248
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.720
up drinking cans of coke, dude. Ben Stiller told people

249
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.279
that it was important him to create a drink that

250
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.320
tasted like soda, but where you don't feel like you're

251
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.200
putting bad stuff in your body. I don't drink, so

252
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.120
I love having an option for soda, for something to

253
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.320
drink for adults too when you're out. Ben Stiller's a

254
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.679
great dad, just like Adam Sandler. He got his kids

255
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.200
involved with the product. Ben Stiller said of his son

256
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.679
when he asked to have a second lemon Lime because

257
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.639
he liked it so much, I felt like we were

258
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.600
on the right track. We're told his daughter has tried

259
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.720
the sodas and approves of them too. Ben says, the

260
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:58.720
idea of having a healthy soda for kids, I think

261
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.200
is something that's important to a too, something the parents

262
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.320
can give their kids and not feel bad about it.

263
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.639
At twelve back of Stiller Soda thirty bucks. That's two fifty, akin,

264
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.799
Ben Stiller. Welcome to the Legion of Cool Comedians. And

265
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.600
that is your comedy news for today. See tomorrow.
