Jerry Seinfeld - surfer? Jim Gaffigan oozes out some more coolness hawking bourbon

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.720
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Hunni Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.160
Kanye West apparently re entering the world
of film. This from Jimmy Kimmel,

3
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:21.559
specifically the world of pornographic film.
Jimmy says, that's the kind of business

4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.199
genius he is. You know what, the Internet could use some porn.

5
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.760
Ronnie Chang and I are aligned.
He was talking about the Biden administration's new

6
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.600
rules, which require cash refunds for
air travelers subjected to everything from canceled flights

7
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.079
to non working WiFi. Ronnie said, this is the greatest thing the government

8
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.399
has ever done in history. Thank
you, Joe Biden. Thank you for

9
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.479
making my life better. Now,
just bring back Roe v Wades. I

10
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.759
don't have to sit next to a
crying baby on the Red Eye. Just

11
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.240
did that two weeks ago, so
that touched a nerve there with me.

12
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.640
There was another kerf fluffle on after
midnight. The guest Gillian Jacobs. You

13
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.600
know her from community. She greeted
the crowd, explaining how to pronounce her

14
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.520
name. She said, yes,
I'm Gillian Jacobs. That's hard g soft

15
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:03.879
j. But the vibe is just
right. Okay, I'll read that to

16
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:07.040
you again in a second after I
tell you to set up here. So,

17
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.840
something weird happened with the close captions. I saw the clip, so

18
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.560
Gillian says, yes, I'm Gillian
Jacobs, that's hard G soft J.

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.120
But the vibe is just right.
But the caption's added the phrase, I'll

20
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.879
have to read it again just so
I could do it in context. The

21
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.120
caption version said, yes, I'm
Gillian Jacobs, that's hard G soft J.

22
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.959
But the vibe is just right.
I'm masturbating. What okay? Colin

23
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.840
Joe So the White House correspondent Dinner
tonight, eight o'clock c SPAN. He's

24
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.359
saying, oh, on Saturday night, to watch this thing. I will

25
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.280
recap it for you on Monday.
I did see a list of who is

26
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.719
invited on the different press pools.
Some interesting notes. ABC News correspondent Rosario

27
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.159
Dawson. CBS has invited Sidiqua,
Martin Green, and Wilson Cruz. They're

28
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.159
from that horrible Star Trek Discovery.
John Hamm and his wife are going for

29
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:04.599
CBS News. How does this work? CNN Rachel Brosnahan Deadline invited Kerry Russell.

30
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.360
NBC invited Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen,
Colin Joe says your host. Tonight,

31
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.319
he did an interview with NBC and
talked about when he does the joke

32
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.639
swaps with Michael Jay. Joe said, it's kind of crazy. There's not

33
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.960
a lot of live TV in the
world anymore. So the idea that you're

34
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.400
on live TV and you have to
say something that you don't know what it

35
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.879
is, that's pretty crazy and it's
usually not gentle. I'm someone who can

36
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.840
really be in my head a lot
of times, and it definitely gets you

37
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.560
out of your head. I really
like that. Joe just also wanted to

38
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.879
clear up that he's not planning on
leaving Saturday Night Live. He said,

39
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.719
I don't have a real timeline.
I mean I started a potentially psychologically brace

40
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.800
for the concept of leaving, which
I really hadn't done. I don't know.

41
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.400
Certainly, quarantine makes you appreciate having
any job, and I very much

42
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.080
appreciate having friends you get to work
with and enjoy seeing. He says he's

43
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.400
in no rush to leave. Colin, Your fairy is a disaster. You

44
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.199
got a steady gig, go talk
to Keenan sit at that desk for another

45
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.560
twenty years. Steady work is a
good thing. Jerry Seinfeld turns seventy on

46
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.319
Monday, so that makes me think
they'll problem probably be like a big time

47
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.439
celebrity birthday party, right, and
it's going to be Jerry in his pals

48
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.120
so to be Jim gaff again.
Amy Schumer is going to be at that

49
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.479
thing, right. Yeah. A
lot of Jerry press coming up the next

50
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.560
week. That Poptearts movie is out
on Friday. I've already got stories squirreled

51
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.240
away. So if you like Jerry
Seinfeld, you're gonna like this podcast.

52
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.680
G Q said, Jerry, you've
talked about how stand up is about power,

53
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.520
standing on stage alone, demanding the
people listen and have a physical reaction.

54
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.240
How did the power of being a
director compare? See a little trick

55
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.759
there. I didn't think we were
going there with that question, Jerry said.

56
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.639
Being a director feels like running a
ranch in the West. It's kind

57
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.439
of a mess. You've got horses
and cattle and chickens and broken fences and

58
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:39.520
filth. You've got a lot of
people and a lot of physical things.

59
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.919
Stand up is a pure experience.
That's why I'm so addicted to it.

60
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.879
The only other thing in life that
I truly idolize is surfing. I watch

61
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.400
a lot of Instagram surfing videos,
and when somebody catches a great wave and

62
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.599
they're just sliding down, it just
hypnotizes me. That's how it feels when

63
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.479
you're having a good set, like
you've caught this gigantic energy and are just

64
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.039
sliding down it. There's nothing pure
in making a movie flow. It's highly

65
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.159
complex and messy. We're all wondering, does Jerry Seinfeld surf? No?

66
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.960
I tried. I did it for
about a week twenty years ago. You

67
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.840
have to dedicate yourself to these great
things. I don't believe in being good

68
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:12.919
at a lot of things, or
even more than one, but I love

69
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.599
to watch it. I think if
I get a chance to be a human

70
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:16.839
again, I would do just that. You wake up in the morning and

71
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.480
you paddle out, you make whatever
little money in each five That seems like

72
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.399
the greatest life to me. They
asked Jerry about the Midwestern vibe in the

73
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.560
upcoming pop Tarts movie What's an Unfrosted? I can't remember that. I just

74
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.839
keep calling it pop Tarts. They
asked him, what was the Midwest like

75
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.680
to you? Jerry said, hilarious, John Updike had of the greatest line,

76
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.600
new Yorkers think anyone who doesn't live
in New York is in some sense

77
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.920
kidding. That was me. It
felt like, let me go to this

78
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.319
place and show them what we're like, and they'll pay to see that.

79
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.199
And I still feel like that's what
I do. Let me show you what

80
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.879
a New York is like. I
think you'll find it interesting. Good follow

81
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.240
up here about Seinfeld, GQ said, that's what I think of as the

82
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:55.079
Seinfeld paradox. It's so specifically New
York and so specifically Jewish, and yet

83
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.079
there's a station where I live in
New Orleans that, as far as I

84
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.639
could tell, only play. Seinfeld
twenty four to seven said, let me

85
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.759
solve the mystery for you. It's
Jason Alexander, Julia, Louis Dreyfus,

86
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.399
and Michael Richards. Those three people
transform this very small, idiosyncratic thing which

87
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.160
should have always been small a niche. They made this unrelatable material accessible.

88
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.360
There's no other way it would have
happened. Follow up. Didn't you feel

89
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.480
like you were part of it?
Jerry said, I was part of it,

90
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.560
but I wasn't on their level.
I did what I could to help.

91
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.959
All Right, So I want to
cover this, but I also don't

92
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.199
want to lose the audience. Jim
Gaffigan on The Today Show, Hawking is

93
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.439
Bourbon. I've spoken about this quite
loudly. We have to do an intervention

94
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.240
for Jim Gaffigan. So as a
journalist, I'm not a journalist. As

95
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.319
a journalist, I need to cover
this, but I don't want to lose

96
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.160
the audience. So here's what I
want you to do. I want you

97
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.000
to take out your phone and hit
thirty seconds skip twice so you don't have

98
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.560
to sit through this clip. Okay, you've been warned. Don't delete the

99
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.600
podcast and be like this podcast sucks. I'm telling you. I know that

100
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.360
the next minute sucks, but I
have to as a journalist. I'm not

101
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.160
a journalist. I have to play
this clip for you so you can experience.

102
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.600
Jim Gaffigan on The Today Show.
All Right, last warning skip skip

103
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.040
all right, this is on you. You're still here if you're hearing my

104
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.959
voice or now you didn't hit thirty
seconds skip. I tried to warn you.

105
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.319
Father time Bourbon. Father time.
Well, you know, since it

106
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.199
is bring your child to work,
I thought that I would bring in my

107
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.680
baby. I don't know if they
have. If we have it out here,

108
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:25.240
we go, yes, this is, this is it's it's I think

109
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.319
it's a beautiful bottle. And it's
called father Time. And so oh,

110
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.360
I said father time. It's father
time. It's father time. So it's

111
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:40.720
not the guy with the beard.
It's about this time that a father,

112
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.800
like the tagline a father, it's
called a father's joy is earned because being

113
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.120
a father is thankless. And by
the way, I do believe that the

114
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.120
mom is the heroine. Anyway,
I'm going to sign this because each bottle

115
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.800
is signed, and I'm going to
charge you guys for this bottle. Anyway,

116
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.439
Oh my good, this chim I
just feel the coolness just oozing out

117
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.199
of you. Every time you listen, you talk about the bourbon. That's

118
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.079
only half the clip. I will
play another minute of that clip tomorrow.

119
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.319
David Spain and Dana Carvey have some
thoughts about the upcoming Chris Farley biopic.

120
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.560
Spade said, I'm a little ambivalent
about it. I don't know. I

121
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.160
heard some whispers about this for a
long time. I've run into this guy

122
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.759
Paul Apparently that's actor Paul Walter Hauser, who's going to star as Chris Farley.

123
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:28.839
He's a nice guy. I think
he's wanted me to do this for

124
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.279
a while. Carvey said, in
all seriousness, I wish How's are the

125
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.240
best. But he says it's hard
to portray someone like Farley. It's one

126
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.839
off and charisma. It's very hard
to get used to it in a film.

127
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.399
Even the last Elvis movie Austin Butler
did incredible, but you never reach

128
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.519
Elvis. It's impossible what it was
the best. I've seen the same thing

129
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.439
with Will Smith when he played Muhammad
Ali. He was absolutely fantastic, But

130
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.519
the whole time you're going, but
you can't do Muhammad Ali. Spade said,

131
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.279
I wish him well. Like you
said, it's hard to capture the

132
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.279
highs and lows and the greatness and
just the pure likability and the innocence and

133
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.439
everything that was great about Chris Farley. Carvey says, Chris had so many

134
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.120
sub rhythms. There's a meal to
be had there. Matt Friend, you

135
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.519
might know his impressions of Donald Trump, which is okay, Howard Stern which

136
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.600
is really good, and I have
not heard his Mitch McConnell. He's getting

137
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.319
a podcast on Bill Maher's network.
It's called Friend in High Places. Friend

138
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.040
aims to be the intersection of mar
Graham Norton, Jimmy Fallon, and Sean

139
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.040
Evans of Hot Ones. He tells
Variety, there will be politics, but

140
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.240
it's gonna be lighter. There'll be
a variety showcase element to it, where

141
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.920
I might do a topical sketch or
comment on something in the news. I

142
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.160
misspoke, it didn't edit. I
said tropical sketch. I don't know what

143
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.840
a tropical sketch is, but I'd
watch it. But at the same time,

144
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.120
I'm going to be having longer conversations
with actors and athletes and politicians.

145
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.279
Blah blah blah. Let's see what's
happening in Sydney. Lara recoats A show

146
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.320
is called Little Tiny Wet Show Baptism, a surreal, partially interactive, dark

147
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.399
like Silly Dark, not Edgeloord,
dark and moving comedy show about what it's

148
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.240
like to live, what it means
to care for somebody for you always leave

149
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.039
them. Comedian Ashley Freeze has released
an album co written with Ai. The

150
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.519
album is called Monkey. Paul Cowboy
actually said, once I started playing with

151
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:03.320
the tool and seeing what it could
do. I think the album was inevitable.

152
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.799
Ashley wrote the lyrics to all the
songs, which are in the style

153
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.159
of country music. He says,
I've never particularly been into country music,

154
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.720
but it's clear that this is a
good genre for comedy songs. Let's listen.

155
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:28.879
The following tracks are written by and
all persons depicted are entirely fictional.

156
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:37.759
And while the lyrics tried a mimics
songs and singers quite ut comic. The

157
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:45.559
whole thing's just a party trick out
electronic and Jack Whitehall is continuing to go

158
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.360
at it with Prince William. I
told you I think yesterday Prince William did

159
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.679
a knock knock joke and said it
was like Jack Whitehall material. Whitehall released

160
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.600
an Instagram video of Prince William telling
the joke. I'm going to share the

161
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.960
audio. Whitehall doesn't speak during the
a video, but he is making faces

162
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.759
at the camera and at the end
he takes notes. But here is Prince

163
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.759
William. I am here with the
character talking about mailing my health and I've

164
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.720
been asked to produce a dad joke, so I'm kind of trying to channel

165
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.120
Jack Whitehall as the best of it. Jokes are pretty Badlike, that's fine.

166
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:22.679
I think what I'll do is,
I'm going to say a joke that

167
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.000
has Shotlet's favorite joke at the moment
that she keeps telling me. I'll do

168
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.480
that instead, but you're going to
have to interact me. It's not a

169
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:35.039
joke I can tell straight away,
not a lot interrupting caroten. No,

170
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:43.720
that's that's the Great's what I can
pick up the screen and broadcast as all
