Callaroga Shark Media. That sound you Here is all the

2
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.199
coolness oozing out of Jim Gaffigan's body. Hi, I'm Johnny

3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.280
Mack with your daily comedy news. Jim Gaffigan announced he

4
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.199
will perform and film a whiskey focused stand up set

5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.640
in Louisville and October. Jim, Let it Go, Let it

6
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.000
Coach Jim. We're told the shows are twenty one plus

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.880
and three sets are scheduled over three days October seventh

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.399
through the ninth. All three shows, titled Jim Gaffigan A

9
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.719
Bourbon Set, comprised new material for the comedian on social media,

10
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.079
Jim Gaffigan Set. It's a bourbon set. If you're a

11
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.119
whiskey fan, you'll definitely want to check this out. Jim's

12
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.719
been howking the whiskey for the last year or so,

13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.840
and uh yeah, let me cut to John Oliver here.

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.880
I think sums it up cool. Jing Gillis hosted the

15
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.119
SPS last night. It was volleyball night and then I

16
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.240
went to the bar, so I will recap that for

17
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.039
you tomorrow. Prior to the sb's he caught up with

18
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.599
the Athletic and they were curious how much of the

19
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.439
sb's would just be Notre Dame in Eagles highlights, Jane said,

20
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:09.959
if I have any control over it, that'd be great.

21
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.560
If I could pick the highlights, it will just be

22
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.719
the Eagles, Notre Dame in some Phillies. That would be nice. Shane,

23
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.359
why did you want to host the SP's, He said,

24
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.560
The reason I wanted to take it on was Norm MacDonald.

25
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.079
He's the best ever, and he did it, and his

26
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.280
monologue was one of my favorites. I can meet a

27
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.680
famous actor or a famous comedian and I'm usually pretty

28
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.519
relaxed about it, but then I'll meet Michael Phelps on

29
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.040
a plane, I'm like, oh my god. The first time

30
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.840
I met Aaron Judge, I couldn't talk. I don't know

31
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.560
why I get starstruck by that. I didn't think Caitlin

32
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.040
Clark was going to get starstruck. I was, which was

33
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.200
pretty funny. Steph Curry, that was awesome. But there's another thing.

34
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.159
Once you get to know these guys, you start feeling

35
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.079
like you're less of a fan as far as like,

36
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.439
I'm not going to ever sit around and be like

37
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.640
that guy sucks. I hate that guy. Before I would

38
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.359
say that because I didn't know anybody. Even before the

39
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.560
Steph Curry thing, I was like, I don't like Steph Curry.

40
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.079
Then you meet him, You're like, oh, Steph Curry's incredible.

41
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.719
So there's a little bit of it. You're going to

42
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:56.400
make fun of this athlete. Probably not gonna make fun

43
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.239
of somebody who's dedicated to life to something. I'm not

44
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.280
going to go up there and say you stink the

45
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.760
athletic asked Shane Gillis, is there anybody you haven't met

46
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.159
that you want to? Tom Brady would be cool to meet.

47
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.599
I just recently met Charles Barkley. That was awesome. He

48
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.680
was the one I always wanted to meet. And why

49
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.759
is Shane's the one of sports? I was just raised

50
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.479
that way. My dad watched sports every day, and what

51
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.240
else is there to do? I don't get it, we're

52
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.919
watching sports. Patton Oswald has recorded what is being referred

53
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.680
to as an audio only special that's known as an album.

54
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.479
Patton Oswalt, we used to have these things called comedy albums.

55
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.280
What you do is you would record your comedy material

56
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.280
and release them via audios, sometimes on vinyl, sometimes on cassette,

57
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.479
sometimes on compact disc, sometimes as an MP three file,

58
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.879
But Patten has invented the Audio Only special, this one

59
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.319
called Black Coffee and Ice Water. He filmed it last

60
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.680
week into New York City. He told CBS Mornings, it's

61
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.120
a combination of experience my sadness and experience my confusion.

62
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.199
The times are so rapidly insane right now that there

63
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.479
are times as a comedian where you're like, this insane

64
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.120
story that I'm gonna tell in a month is not

65
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.680
gonna seem insane anymore based on what people are going through.

66
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.280
The Audio Only Special, which totally is not an album,

67
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.080
also talks about raising a teenager and the inside Oh,

68
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.919
she either got that from me or some of this

69
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.759
is inborn. How can I change this? How do we

70
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.280
make this better? Sounds like Patten has a great relationship

71
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.479
with his daughter. He said, I don't have the teenager

72
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:16.919
that doesn't want to hang out with me. She actually

73
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.520
digs hanging out with me and my wife. But we

74
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.360
do have a teenager who's always slightly disappointed in us.

75
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.039
We're hanging out and we're having fun. Then daddy realizes

76
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.840
what a goofball he is, or I'm realizing, oh wait

77
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.759
a minute, I would get embarrassed by my dad at

78
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.479
this That's what she's doing right now now. He was

79
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.280
asked why he wanted to release Black Coffee and Ice

80
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.719
Water as an audio special. Patton said, I miss the

81
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.439
times when comedians would put out an album all my specials.

82
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:41.960
I'm doing a thing now where I'm going back. I'm

83
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.039
putting them out on vinyl. It's about ego. There's this

84
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.520
less physical media being made. You could release it, you know,

85
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.800
as an album, but nope, It'll be out on audible

86
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.520
as an audio only special. Black Coffee and Ice Water.

87
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.759
November twentieth, Ronnie Chang and Hassan Minaj are touring together.

88
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.719
The name of the tour Hassan Hates Ronnie, Ronnie hates

89
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.360
a so on, That's fun the official log line. During

90
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.280
these divided times, many people believe that open dialogue and

91
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.560
discourse are the only tools to mend to divide a nation.

92
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.000
Comedians Hasan Minhaj and Ronnie Chang believe the opposite, hatred

93
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.719
is the answer. At each of the nineteen scheduled performances,

94
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.560
the duo will face off over race, war, the economy, immigration, presidents, family,

95
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.879
and dating, taking the stage only to rip each other apart.

96
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.920
That's fun to our kicks off October third in Seattle.

97
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:34.319
They're also hitting Houston, Tampa, Atlanta, Philly, d C, Toronto, Minneapolis, Chicago, Miami, Austin, Dallas, Boston,

98
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.920
New York City at the Beacon December second, So that's

99
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.000
after the festival San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco and

100
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.279
wrapping up December twenty sixth in Vancouver. Sarah Sherman is

101
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.839
recording her first comedy special this summer. She's taping two

102
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.639
shows August twenty third at the Bell House. She'll be

103
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.600
in North Adams and Massachusetts on the nineteenth, three shows

104
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.160
at Helium in Indianapolis, next week, three shows at Helium

105
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.560
in Philly and August, and the two Bellhouse shows. Ron

106
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.160
White has added two shows to his tour to help

107
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.600
raise money for the flooding in Texas. Ron White, a

108
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.480
Texas native, announced on social media all proceeds from the

109
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.040
shows in San Antonio and Austin will go to the

110
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.639
Guadaloupe Love Fund. The money will assist fire departments impacted

111
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.319
by the July fourth floods. Ron said in the video,

112
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:21.759
We're going to raise money for a couple of fire

113
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.240
departments that suffered major losses in this tragic event and

114
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.199
cannot sustain without them. Every penny you spend on tickets,

115
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.040
we're gonna go buy some fire trucks or something. We'll

116
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.519
find a way to spend it those shows or August

117
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.319
eighth and August ninth, This one I saw into the weekend,

118
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.800
and it's been quite busy, and then I forgot to

119
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.600
put it in the notes. So let me just point

120
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.120
out Dusty slayh shared on Instagram like Friday Afternoon, two

121
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.920
full albums out today. Listen while it's hot on iTunes.

122
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.920
Camill nan Gianni has joined the cast of Oh Mary

123
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:56.360
as Mary's husband. Now that's interesting because Oh Mary is

124
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.079
about Mary Todd Lincoln, an alcoholic, aspiring cabaret singer in

125
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.839
the weeks leading up to the sixteenth President's assassination. So

126
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.920
kamaille n Jeohnny is Abraham Lincoln. That's fun. Ralph Barbosa

127
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.600
will have a special for Hulu. It is titled Ralph

128
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.959
Barbosa Planet Bosa. Ralph shares his adventures in dating, controlling

129
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.800
his temper, working on cars, and his views on current

130
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.519
events that went out Friday, August eighth. Page six asked

131
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.439
Colin Jost how he feels about his wife, Scarlett Johansson

132
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.839
repeatedly kissing Jonathan Bailey on red carpets. Jost said, I

133
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.319
guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from

134
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:33.959
the raptor you never thought was there. Of all the

135
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.079
threats out there, wasn't thinking it was Jonathan. Mister Jos

136
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.319
pointed out that Bailey didn't seem like the biggest threat

137
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.079
to his marriage because Bailey is a quote out gay man.

138
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.120
I think it's going to be okay. Jose joked about

139
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.639
closing the loop by kissing Bailey. Bailey was asked about

140
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.560
this and said, I believe in being able to show

141
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.279
love in all different ways, and if you can't kiss

142
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.720
your friends, life's too short. Not too On gossip Corner,

143
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.160
Amy Schumer had to cut the listing price of her

144
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.000
five bedroom, three and a half bathroom Brooklyn Heights dwelling.

145
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.839
She had purchased it back in twenty twenty two for

146
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.279
twelve point twenty five million dollars. They've now cut the

147
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.519
listing to twelve point seven five million dollars. Life is rough.

148
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.720
Amy Schumer joke to The Wall Street Journal that their

149
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.600
son got into a good school and we're too lazy

150
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.399
to commute forty five minutes to take our son to

151
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.920
school every day. We loved what we moved into, but

152
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.839
we've definitely made it our own. Some of the changes

153
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.399
they apparently made were an overhaul of the backyard just

154
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.800
for laughs. Day two. Nick Briseo is the head of programming.

155
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.839
He was asked how much talent it will be at

156
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.439
just for laughs, and he said, how do you measure that?

157
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.959
Is it by weight? In that case, there is one

158
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.120
point twenty six tons of comedy. Getting a little more serious,

159
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:44.959
he said, we're doing a lot of different programming to

160
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:46.759
have something for everybody. If you have any kind of

161
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.680
funny bone in your body, we have something for you.

162
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.079
The galas are really the crown jewel of the festival.

163
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.560
Someone isn't sure what chose to check out. Your safest

164
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.920
bet is to go to a gala. It's like a

165
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.959
tasting menu of the best comedy out there today. We

166
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.600
have classics from festal past, and our calling card is

167
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.680
the new faces of comedy for those who want to

168
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.000
know the stars of tomorrow. You've heard me talk about

169
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.759
that for years on this podcast. It's such a rite

170
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.399
of passage and all the greats have done it, from

171
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.480
Kevin Hart to Amy Schumer. We put a lot of

172
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.639
work in a scouting those comedians, and then we even

173
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.519
have programming with YouTubers and content creator stars. I'm surprised

174
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.639
the new Faces list still not out. You know, we're

175
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.720
under a week now, Guys, where is it? Nick pointed

176
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:26.519
this out, and he's absolutely right. He said, if you're

177
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.319
in a comedy club anywhere in North America and even

178
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.879
across the world, it's the festival is referred to as Montreal,

179
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.720
but they mean just for laughs. I have to remind

180
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.480
myself to say just for laps, because I'll tend to

181
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.200
just call it the Montreal Comedy Festival, or like Nick says,

182
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.080
people just go Montreal. Are you going to Montreal? If

183
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.120
you say that to me, I know exactly what you mean.

184
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:45.759
Are you going to Montreal? Yeah? I think I hit

185
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.519
Montreal this summer. Nick says, I think any good comedy

186
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.000
festival and any good event really embodies the DNA of

187
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.960
the city in Montreal is a city unlike any other.

188
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.840
There are a few festivals in the global footprint like

189
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.960
Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, but I think

190
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.360
Canada being such a Comedy Home in Montreal, all being

191
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.559
such a renowned stand up place the comedians want to

192
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.279
go now. It's part of the zeitgeist. Just for Lass,

193
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.960
i'd been catching some strays in the press about I

194
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.279
guess not being as awesome at video as some think

195
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.799
they should be. Well, they just inked a twenty million

196
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.759
dollar deal. I don't know if those are Canadian or

197
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.039
US dollars. Either way, it's a lot of money. Fifty

198
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.759
hours of programming are part of the deal. It includes

199
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.519
Roast Battle Canada season five, a bunch of French shows

200
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.240
on some French language networks. The CBC will have Roywood Junior,

201
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.519
Michelle Btchau, Fortune Fimester and Mikey Day Galas. That's pretty

202
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.320
good programming right there. All right, let's see what's going

203
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.679
on tonight on a Thursday. Plenty of French shows. I

204
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.320
will focus on the English shows for the duration of

205
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.320
the festival this summer. This is an English language comedy podcast.

206
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.440
I totally supported the French comedy, but I don't know

207
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.799
how to pronounce the words. Just for last Culture Show

208
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.519
at seven o'clock, Best of the Fest also at seven o'clock,

209
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.960
the Sketch Show at eight thirty and The Nasty Show

210
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.279
at nine to thirty. I already forgot what I said.

211
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:06.519
I want to see if we can do Best of

212
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.519
the Fest and Sketch Show. Best of the Fests at

213
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.840
seven and Sketch Show was what eight thirty we could

214
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.799
do that? That would be tonight's plan. Where are we

215
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.559
in Montreal? But we are not in Montreal, but I

216
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.519
hope to get up to Montreal. I don't have a

217
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:23.080
timetable yet. I'm negotiating with the family. Apparently people were

218
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.679
like Dad's around, Dad will handle it, and Dad's like

219
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.879
Dad was planning on being in Canada. So I have

220
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.600
to figure out that whole thing while I'm thinking of it.

221
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.799
If you need something to listen to, Craig Ferguson's podcast,

222
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.240
which is called Joy. The episode with Jim Rash, you

223
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.320
know Jim is the dean from Community, was a lot

224
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.360
of fun. Took them a minute to get rolling, but

225
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.039
once it clicks in and that's a lot of fun.

226
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.440
If you need something to watch, a half hour stand

227
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.840
up comedy special presented by the Are You Garbage Podcast

228
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.360
is on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla tonight seven o'clock

229
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.120
Central Time. Also out today on Vive says Eddie Peppertone's

230
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.279
new comedy special, The Collapse to This One, produced by

231
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.440
Patton oswall Well, Paton said, Eddie Pepatone is the Pixies

232
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.480
of modern comedy, working class but aching for utopia, quiet

233
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.279
and then loud, and then quiet again, willing to take

234
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.799
the twistiest route to the most uncomfortable, hilarious truth. His

235
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.080
audiences don't just laugh, they are upt in cackling disbelief

236
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.679
that Eddie sang the things he's saying that out on

237
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.639
beeps today It'll be a comedy album. On August fifteenth,

238
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:25.120
the Television Critics Association nominated some shows for Outstanding Achievement

239
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:30.279
in Variety, Talk or Sketch. The nominees are The Daily Show, Mulaney,

240
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.600
Hot Ones, Kimmel, Seth, Colbert, Last Week Tonight, SNL separately,

241
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.399
SNL fifty, the Anniversary Special. The TCA Awards will be

242
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:44.120
presented virtually later this summer. In twenty thirteen, two comedians

243
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.399
started arguing in the parking lot of the Comedy Store

244
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.120
in LA Two comedians broke up the argument and said

245
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.440
they should do the insults before a crowd. It was

246
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.639
an instant hit and roast battle was born. The next week,

247
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.759
people came back thinking was going to happen again, and

248
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.720
then over the course of time, any two comedians who

249
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.679
had an issue with each other or even friends would

250
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.440
just go at each other and we kind of staid, wait,

251
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.360
this could be something. Roast Battle was picked up by

252
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.559
Comedy Central in twenty sixteen with Jeff Ross's host. There's

253
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.799
a UK version from twenty eighteen with Jimmy Carr. There's

254
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.360
one in Japan, one in Montreal, Vancouver, there's one in London,

255
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.039
there's one in Australia. It's everywhere, including tonight at the

256
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.879
New York Comedy Club on twenty fourth Street the tenth

257
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.039
annual Roast Battle. Two comics will take turns, dishing a

258
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.080
total of thirteen jokes per round for total of three rounds,

259
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.879
and if you're in plano six to four singles dive

260
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.000
back into the dating pool with a little help from

261
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.879
stand up comedians. This show is called The Big d

262
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.919
I'm gonna resist any twelve year old jokes and just

263
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.519
tell you that's what the show's called. Believe me, I

264
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.639
am tinted. Julie Golden is a stand up comedian and

265
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.080
a single divorced mom. She created the Big D in

266
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.039
October and said, I was told that Dallas is known

267
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.519
as the Big D not just for Dallas, but also

268
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.200
for divorce. Get your mind out of the gutter, everybody,

269
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.519
so perhaps I'm in the right city. During the show,

270
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.679
three comedians will interview each of the contestants for five minutes,

271
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.600
then they will be matched. After that, each couple answers

272
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.919
a series of dig card questions during their five minute

273
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.799
first date on stage, the audience votes who they think

274
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.240
is the best match. That couple with the most applause

275
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:19.639
wins one hundred dollars and maybe a second date, or

276
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.919
if that doesn't work out, they get fifty bucks each

277
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.159
and never have to see each other again. This is

278
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.000
at Mike Drop Comedy seventy three oh one lone Star

279
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.519
Drive in Plano. Thirty seven bucks to get in a

280
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.679
great Gutfeld, Yah, we're long again today, Greg Gutfeld. Let

281
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.799
me quote this directly via The Daily Beast. Okay, Johnny

282
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.240
Mack is quoting Greg Guttfeld. These are not the words

283
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.360
of Johnny Mack. Johnny Mack is quoting Greg Gudfeld. Are

284
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.279
you ready? Greg Gutfeld apparently said, you know what I've said?

285
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.519
This before. We need to learn from the blacks the

286
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.320
way they were able to remove the power from the

287
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.200
N word by using it. So from now on, it's

288
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.159
what's up my Nazi? Hey, what's up my Nazi? Hey,

289
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.840
what's hanging my nazi? Co host Kennedy blurted out, nazi please.

290
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.399
Greg Guttfeld said, thank god you did a hard eye there.

291
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.679
And that's what's happening on Fox on Gutfeld in case

292
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.600
you want to watch that, that is your comedy news

293
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.080
for today. How does let that Gutfeld story Stanford itself

294
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.159
see you tomorrow
