1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.880
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:16.640
comedy News. I'm gonna joke forgot to Swallow. Why don't

3
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.199
you do the open a second time? John, because that's

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.960
not fun. That's what actually happened there. I was so excited.

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.120
I think you're feeling where my mood has been lately.

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.559
I just want to do silly things after a month

7
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.879
of angst. So let's start with that guy, Jay Leonard.

8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.200
Remember Jay Leno, He used to host the Tonight Show

9
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.520
for like twenty two years, and then he'll pop off

10
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.640
as if he knows anything about late night comedy. That guy,

11
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.759
he is the worst. Listen to what he's doing. Now. Now,

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.520
this guy Jay Leno, he's gonna serve as the Grand

13
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.280
Marshal at the Harley Davidson Love Ride. Yeah, the November ninth,

14
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.320
Southern California. They're trying to raise money for the Wounded

15
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.000
Warrior Project and adopt the Arts. It's gonna feature music

16
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.399
from Gene Simmons from Kiss Robert Patrick, remember the guy

17
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.799
from Terminator too, the bad guy in Terminator two. Yeah,

18
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.320
he's gonna be there, and Jay Leno is going to

19
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.119
be the Grand Marshal. For the Love Ride, which has

20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.959
raised more than twenty five million dollars benefiting more than

21
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.480
a dozen charitable organizations. Let's know what Jay Leno had

22
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.840
to say. I've written alongside thousands a Love Ride for years.

23
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:13.799
I'm looking forward to doing it again. Cheers to making

24
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.200
Love Ride thirty four A memorable one. This guy the

25
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.640
nerve of this guy. All right, I gotta choose now

26
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.760
to Jim gaff again again or Joey did is John

27
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.319
Stewart's story. But the John Stuart story is political. But

28
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.280
I like to move the stories around. We did a

29
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.879
lot of gafficing yesterday, so let's do. Let's do John Stewart, Okay,

30
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.319
John Stewart, I was talking about did you see the

31
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.400
video last weekend? It was an AI video of the

32
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.000
President of the United States wearing a crown jumping diarrhea

33
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.439
on people. Did you see this one? Mike Chishen, did

34
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.519
you hear me going to the letterman delivery right there?

35
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.200
That was totally letterment when I did that. Did you

36
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.040
see this one? Total Dave flift? John Stewart said, I

37
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.079
think my favorite part of it was Republicans who were

38
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.640
asked about said diarrhea plane having to say things like, well,

39
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.599
you know, the American people know that Donald Trump speaks

40
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.799
his mine and they really appreciate his honest reaction of

41
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.959
the diarrhea plane. Stuart continued, Mike Johnson was the best

42
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.400
speaker of the House. Mike Johnson, what do you make

43
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.799
of the president showing a video of him dropping diarrhea

44
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.520
from a plane onto American people who were expressing their

45
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.120
dissatisfaction Stuart, as Johnson said, well, the President, you know,

46
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.520
he's very satirical. Stuart said, you know, I appreciate the

47
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.879
satire and I'm not offended, not as American but as

48
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.280
a comedian. What is this? What exactly is this? What

49
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.159
is the satire? I'm just curious. Oh, it's diarrhea from

50
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.199
a plane. I get it now, good one, sir. Stuart

51
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.639
joked that perhaps the diarrhea plane is a classified thing

52
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.360
that Trump shouldn't have talked about. Stuart said, I know

53
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.159
they have a diarrhea plane. I don't even know if

54
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.599
that was classified. That could have been classified information that

55
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.800
somehow got out. Someone's going to pay the price for that.

56
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.840
That's way worse than the signal chat all right. Jim

57
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.599
gaffickan Bourbon Time case you missed yesterday, I was entertaining myself.

58
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.960
Jim Gaffigan was profiled by Garden and Gunn, which continues

59
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.159
to just confuse me. Why is it called that I

60
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.000
went on their website and like thought I could go

61
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.039
to like an about page or they would explain, like oh,

62
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.639
in eighteen thirty four, James Madison something something. I have

63
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.759
no idea why it's called Gardening gun Tom Wilms spoke

64
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:10.199
with Jim Gaffigan, bourbon entrepreneur. Jim explains why the brand

65
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.719
is called father Time One word, Jim says. The joke

66
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.520
is that it's not father time as in the time

67
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.479
you spend with your kids. It's the time that a

68
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.199
father earns that the joy is earned. On the label

69
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.919
is my grandfather, who made dentures. He was the first

70
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.800
in our family to break the cycle of like working

71
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.199
in coal mines. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Jim,

72
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.599
making sure he doesn't offend the coal minor comedy fan.

73
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:34.919
Jim says, but his work made it possible for my

74
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.680
father to go to college. I like to say that

75
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.039
my father sacrifice made it possible for me to tell

76
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.599
diarrhea jokes. Wow, I didn't even plan this back to

77
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.240
back diarrhea stories. Welcome to Daily Comedy News. How's your

78
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.919
Sunday going, Garden and Gunn said, Bourbon is associated with

79
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.000
the South, but of course it can be made anywhere

80
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.240
in the US. Jim, do you have thoughts on Bourbon's

81
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.120
sense of place? Jim said, Because I get to tour

82
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.520
around doing stand up, I've been able to acquire a

83
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.919
bourbon from all fifty states. The thing I've come to

84
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.879
understand is that, particularly in the Southeast, there's a shorthand

85
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.280
knowledge on bourbon. If you go to a bar in

86
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.599
Charleston or even Charlotte and asks for the whiskey list,

87
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.919
it's going to be much more extensive. Obviously, they are

88
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:12.919
great whiskey bars throughout the country. Yeah, Jim, you don't

89
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.560
want to offend people not from the Southeast. There could

90
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.000
be like some Southwest bourbon fans who are also coal miners.

91
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.240
Be very very careful, Jim Gaffigan, You don't offend anybody. Ever,

92
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.560
It's very careful to point out here there are great

93
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.759
whiskey bars throughout the country. Okay, you got it. Jim's

94
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.759
not saying only the Southeast has good whiskey bars and

95
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.279
He's fine if you're a coal miner, all right. Jim

96
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.079
is not here to offend you. But Jim says, what

97
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.519
people think is an extensive whiskey list in some northern

98
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.800
cities would be laughable in the southeast. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

99
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.480
I'm from New York City. How dare you insult our

100
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.319
whiskey list? Jim Gaffigan, Wait until I tell him my

101
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.399
uncle was a coal miner. The nervous is this guy's

102
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.920
worse than Jay Leno Guardian and guns. Jim, you towards

103
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.000
some bourbon material in Kentucky. I can go back to

104
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.319
talking about the Rio Comedy Festival if you wired. I

105
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.720
just I just want to do this. Jim. You had

106
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.839
toured some bourbon material in Kentucky and Tennessee earlier this year.

107
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.319
Jim said. The tour was called the Bourbon Whiskey Run,

108
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.360
and it was prompted by a few things. My three

109
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.600
brothers wanted to do another trip, so we hit places

110
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.240
like Chattanooga and Owensboro that we hadn't visited yet, and

111
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.560
we did it by bus. Wait are you trying to

112
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.639
tell me Jim Gaffigan was on a bus. He's gotta

113
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.439
have mine. He's gotta fly private, right, Jim Gaffigan private plane.

114
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.560
Let's see what comes up. Seems like he doesn't. Jim

115
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.800
tweeted twelve years ago, anyone have a private jet in Columbus, Ohio.

116
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.600
I'm trying to get to Chicago from my show tonight.

117
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.160
I wish I was joking. All right, So Jim flies commercial,

118
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.000
and apparently sometimes Jim Gaffigan takes the bus with his brothers. Yeah, sure,

119
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.920
that's how the story goes. Jim said, the bus trip

120
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.600
coincided with my son's spring break, and he opened for

121
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.959
me a few times. I understood it would not have

122
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.720
as broad appeal as my other stand up. I've always

123
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.040
prided myself on having stand up that appeals to diverse

124
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.160
ages and mentalities. But this is more of a twenty

125
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.639
one and up material. It helps if you're over thirty

126
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.639
and out of shape, guardian and gun or whatever that's called.

127
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.839
Ask Jim, is there anything different about developing a bourbon joke?

128
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.480
Does bourbon help? I'm sure bourbon helps. Jim once again

129
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.680
does not want to offend anybody. He's very careful with

130
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.000
this answer. He says, obviously, both men and women drink bourbon.

131
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.360
You don't want to exclude anyone, Jim, be very careful.

132
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.560
You could lose, you know, zero zero one percent of

133
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.000
your fan base. Obviously, both men and women drink bourbon,

134
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.000
but I think the male relationship with bourbon being bourbon geeks,

135
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.879
if you want to call that, is unique. Whoa you

136
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.639
misogynist bourbon drinking? This guy's worse than Jay Leno? Jay said,

137
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.959
I've Jay leave it in. Jim said, I've joked about

138
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.879
this with other guys who were into bourbon because my

139
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.560
wife considers it kind of a midlife crisis, and I'm like,

140
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.319
this is better than having an affair. It sure is.

141
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.600
That would be terrible if he broke up his marriage.

142
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.120
Obsessing over bourbon and wanting to complete your collection is

143
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.439
I'm not gonna say it. It's healthy, but it's more

144
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.000
productive than doing something reckless and more accessible than collecting cars.

145
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.600
Is that a shot at Jay Leno? I could understand

146
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.319
taking a shot at Jay Leno who collects a lot

147
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.800
of cars, because that guy, he's the worst. Did you

148
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.000
hear him comment on late night television as if he

149
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.639
knows anything? Gaffigan said, some people collect action figures, and

150
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.480
I joked that bourbon bottles are like action figures filled

151
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.240
with liquor. Oh there is more to this article, but

152
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.839
I will move on because I can spidy. Since you

153
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.120
guys going, will you cut it out? Okay, I'll cut

154
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.399
it out. I can talk about Therio on Comedy FESTIL

155
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.360
if you want. Michelle Wolf said. Someday, I'd really like

156
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.920
to play Red Rocks out in Colorado. I think that'd

157
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.160
be really cool, especially because some great people have performed there.

158
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.319
She told TV Insider. I'm also a very outdoorsy person,

159
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.759
so combines all the things I love. I want to

160
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:42.600
get into some writing. I want to do some scripted things.

161
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.600
I don't have any desire to host any award shows

162
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.279
just because I don't think i'm the favorite person. Look

163
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.199
if they asked me to do it, I'd be like,

164
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.000
these are the kind of jokes you're gonna get. I

165
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.160
played her Saudi material on Thursday's podcast. If you missed

166
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.399
that and want a taste of that. But today we're silly,

167
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.680
Michelle Wolf said. The last time I hosted something with

168
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.639
the Correspondent's dinner and they were like, we weren't expecting that.

169
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.120
I just like to let you know what you're getting

170
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:04.560
because that's what I'm going to give you. I'm not

171
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.439
necessarily going to give you a song or dance, but

172
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.759
I'll tell you what I think about it. There's some

173
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:10.439
shows I want to write, and hopefully I'll get to

174
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.079
do those in the near future. Eliza Slessinger, she's out

175
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.959
there hawking the Jeep grand Wagoneer. Bunch of articles about Eliza,

176
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.639
who's clearly trying to sell you a jeep. We're told

177
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.040
the Jeep grand Wagoneer, this is not a commercial, this

178
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.639
is me having fun. Is just sixty five thousand dollars, rugged,

179
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:31.759
refined and has enough room for growing families. We're told. Slussnger,

180
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.600
one of the world's premiere female comedians I guess that's true,

181
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.320
is known for her sharp wit and stand up comedy.

182
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.159
It includes insightful commentary on relationships, motherhood, and society comedy

183
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.480
Rule of three. Eliza Slessinger said, I'm excited to work

184
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.919
with the Jeep brand on this unconventional Jeep Grand Wagoneer

185
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.720
ad campaign. I love that they went for something different

186
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.919
and we're open to paroting traditional vehicle reveals. The Jeep

187
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.559
grand Wagoneer is beautiful, spacious and hopefully after seeing this film,

188
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.559
there are more babies in the world ready to fill

189
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.240
out those three rows. You think she said that, or

190
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.159
you think somebody over at Jeep sent that over and go?

191
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.080
Can you prove this quote? So I've been doing this

192
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.039
a long time. People approved quotes. Ol of our friends

193
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.039
saw is the global chief marketing officer and said developed

194
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.919
to run across only the Jeep brands social media channels.

195
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:21.480
The family SUV featuring comedian Elizas Leusger does follow our

196
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.440
underlying Jeep brand ethos, and that is to be memorable

197
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.200
and put a smile on their faces. Speaking of putting

198
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.360
a smile on people's faces, this put a smile on

199
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.759
my face. I was working on some behind the scenes

200
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.799
stuff here and running some data. Somebody asked me, hey,

201
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.000
can you pull some stats? And pulled some stats and

202
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.080
ran them through the chatchept there, and here's what we

203
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:46.679
learned about you, not me. You. Here's who's listening to

204
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.440
daily community is, according to artificial intelligence, the audience scus

205
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.159
mid career to early jen X professionals and dads who

206
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.559
grew up on Letterman, John Stewart and talk radio. Well

207
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.039
from the host chair being oh eighty to eighty five

208
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.440
percent of you or in the US. Then there's Mike Chisholm,

209
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.120
who listens in Canada. He's the entire Canadian fan base.

210
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.320
Thank you, Mike. Some other listeners in the UK and

211
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.360
Australia would love to hear from you guys. Facebook group,

212
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.679
jump in Daily Companies podcast group. But I especially liked

213
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:19.159
the psychographic we are told you, dear listener, listen daily

214
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.519
for consistency, humor, and perspective. You prefer wits over outrage,

215
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.919
and this is what made me laugh. You respond to

216
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.879
clever grumpiness. Love it boy. I have so much leftover

217
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.080
stuff I might have to do just like an extra

218
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.440
episode just to catch up. Let's talk about Bob odenkirk

219
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.559
Men's journal ast Bob Odenkirk, could you have imagined the

220
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.440
setup of the Nobody films as a comedy sketch back

221
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.159
when you're doing Mister Show, Odenkirk said, I could certainly

222
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.440
imagine making fun of action movies. The genre has so

223
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.720
many cornerstone tropes that it's always fun to make fun

224
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.639
of any trope and any genre thing. You can make

225
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.639
fun of anything in a stylistically tropy way. You can

226
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.840
make fun of Wes Anderson tropes or anything people know.

227
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.360
I did a film festival David Cross once, and we

228
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.240
were there for something, but also to make fun of

229
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.320
one of Steven Seagal's films. We just sat in the

230
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.480
back and did the riff tracks thing. Is that where

231
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.559
we're calling it now the rifftracks thing? Because I would

232
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.759
have just called it the Mystery Science Theater three thousand thing.

233
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.080
I get that those two things are related, but do

234
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.080
people know what you're talking about if you say riff tracks?

235
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.960
Odin Kirk said, because I've done so much comedy, one

236
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:21.679
of the conscious thoughts that I had in this action

237
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:23.480
areas that you can't really make fun of the tropes

238
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.600
if you make an action movie. I realized, if I

239
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:27.159
want to make a real action movie and I want

240
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.720
to be judged and tested in this arena, I have

241
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.519
to commit to those things and not make fun of them,

242
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.279
because if I make fun of them, everyone who has

243
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.480
even an inkling of what I've done is going to go, ah, hey,

244
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:36.720
didn't mean it. But there are jokes in the films,

245
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.320
he says. Most of the jokes have to do with

246
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.559
the kind of fun that you can have when the

247
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.919
violence is really intense and really scary and kind of painful.

248
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.320
Then a small comment to like comment becomes very funny

249
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.000
in that context. An all subject comment becomes really hilarious

250
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.600
in the context of dead, cold, earnest, seriousness and pain.

251
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.080
And I will leave you with this. Aerosmith and young

252
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.200
Blood have shared a new version of My Only Angel,

253
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.279
featuring comment he legend Steve Martin. Yeah, why well, I'll

254
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:06.000
tell you you see. Inspired by the original track's emotional core,

255
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.879
Aerosmith and young Blood returned to the studio to explore

256
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:13.080
its more vulnerable side. During the session, Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler,

257
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.879
I met him once, tiny guy, I mean, not all

258
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.519
that tall, not all that heavy. Nice guy. Though met'm backstage.

259
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.679
Jones Beach was back there with Vinnie pass Story. You know,

260
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.000
the guy from this Pranos. Yeah, I've got stories. I

261
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.799
did some stuff. I wasn't always in the basement anyway.

262
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:32.639
During the session, Aerosmith singer Stephen Tyler, a longtime admirer

263
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.320
of Steve Martin. Imagine the distinctive sound of a banjo

264
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.240
bringing the songs so close. He reached out to Steve Martin,

265
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.039
who accepted the invitation and recorded his part remotely. The

266
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.879
addition of the Steve Martin banjo gives the new version

267
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.240
its defining final moment, a soulful ending that trades the

268
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.759
drive of the original for grounded, textured feel, with Steve

269
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.799
Martin standout bancho solo carrying the song to a finish.

270
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.759
Steve revealed on Instagram, I'm playing banjo on a Stephen

271
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.240
Tyler's song. Here's our text exchange. For no particular reason,

272
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.840
and that is your comedy needs to say, Hey, all right,

273
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:05.679
I'll see you tomorrow.
