1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.640
Callaroga Shark Media. The Daily Comedy News podcast is like

2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:14.599
real life. If you didn't listen to the Weekend. It

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:16.600
was a lot of fun. The Weekend was silly and

4
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.920
there was some alcohol involved. But now it's Monday morning,

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.559
and Monday mornings are kind of like, uh, I hate

6
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.039
Monday morning. So we're gonna talk about politics. Hi, I'm

7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.640
Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Roywood Junior to

8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.280
Rolling Stone. They were curious, politics in America can feel

9
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.560
pretty bleak right now. How do you even begin to

10
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.799
make it funny? Roywood Junior said, I think you make

11
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.560
it truthful first, and from there fuddy will follow. There

12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.920
are a lot of things happening right now that you

13
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.960
can't necessarily go, well, what's the funny part of all

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.280
the deportations? But if you go, what's the funny part

15
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.759
about the policies or the hypocrisy of it, or National

16
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.920
Guard troops sleeping in public because you sent them there

17
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.799
without hotel accommodations, you can find the moments of truth

18
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.479
in the midst of all this calamity, and through that

19
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.039
you're able to find the humor. Roy said, there's always

20
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.439
some injustice. There's always somebody dead that shouldn't have dined.

21
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.119
I've been doing comedy for twenty seven to twenty eight

22
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.240
years now, so there isn't some sort of oh, what

23
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.159
they're doing, what now? Well, let me really dial in

24
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.760
and make it funny. I don't think any comedian that

25
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.799
tacks issues in this world is doing anything different than

26
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.239
they were ten or fifteen years ago. John Oliver, John Stewart,

27
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.799
Bill Mard, take your pick. They're doing what they've always done,

28
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.599
but feels different, affects you differently. Water tastes different when

29
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.000
you're thirsty. I don't think any comedian sits down to

30
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.840
write the joke that's going to heal you. I see

31
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.680
you're in pain, Try this joke. We're here to provide

32
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.680
escape the solutions. That's not our responsibility. Joe Rogan, who

33
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.319
might not be the sharpest tool in the shed. I've

34
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.079
got a story that I haven't been able to get to.

35
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.120
Maybe tomorrow. Joe Rogan suggested President Trump should replace Gavin

36
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.359
Newsom as governor of California and fix California after Trump

37
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.640
finishes his second term as US President. Rogan said, just

38
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.719
take over California and fix it. It'd be hilarious. If

39
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.120
he did, it would be one of the funniest things

40
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.760
of all time if an eighty two year old man

41
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.519
steps into the office of governor of California. Brogan said

42
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.040
he recently spoke with a friend who he's leaving Los

43
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.480
Angeles because that friend can't stand the state's politics anymore.

44
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.920
Rogan said, it's like everybody went crazy. It's like there's

45
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.760
something that happened because of the pandemic and the Black

46
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.079
Lives Matter protests and the riots and all the chaos.

47
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.439
Whatever the temperature of the society was, it hit societal

48
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.199
global warming where it's like it's time to investigate greenland,

49
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.759
It's time to move north, Like this is a bad climate. Now,

50
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.919
this sucks. Now as why is this? Joe Rogan may

51
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.280
or may not be. There is a flaw in his logic.

52
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.240
You see, the next California gubernatorial election is in twenty

53
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.120
twenty six, so Trump wouldn't be able to run until

54
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.439
the twenty thirty election, at which point President Donald Trump

55
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.520
would be eighty four years old. News we caught up

56
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.000
with Leslie Jones. They covered a whole bunch of topics.

57
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:32.879
One thing I thought was interesting, She says, I don't

58
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.759
think it is now. But I think when I first

59
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.599
came out, it was harder for women to have blue

60
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.439
comedic material. I think now it's more open for us

61
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.840
just to be as dirty as the men. New topic,

62
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.599
Leslie feels there has to be a change in Late Night.

63
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.240
When you look at Late Night, all you see is

64
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.080
white men in blue suits. And I'm not saying that

65
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.479
they're not bomb. I love Jimmy, I love Seth, I

66
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.639
love Stephen Colbert, but it's all we've ever seen. Wait,

67
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.319
which Jimmy's you love? She said, I love Jimmy, I

68
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.759
love Seth, I love Stephen Colbert. Now in that order,

69
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.479
Seth is on? In was her brain thinking NBC? Does

70
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.960
she love Jimmy Kimmel but not love Jimmy Fallon? Should

71
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.159
I start a controversy? Leslie's view is that the Late

72
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.240
Night's shake up includes better writing and a woman host,

73
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.919
ideally a black woman like herself, and more love coming

74
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.439
through the TV. She's asked about the new season of

75
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.360
SNL and said, when you leave SNL, you don't pay

76
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.719
attention to what's going on. I do know they don't

77
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.360
have a black woman on there. That's one thing I

78
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.560
have paid attention to. Peacock announced the official premiere for

79
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.479
Tiffany Hattish Goes Off, a new docu series out November thirteenth.

80
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.599
The new series follows Tiffany Hannish and her childhood friends

81
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.560
as they explore the continent of Africa. Six episodes. The

82
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.000
women travel to places including Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe,

83
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.639
and Zanzibar. We're told throughout the trip they take on

84
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.520
new adventures, deep in their lifelong friendship and explore personal

85
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.319
connections to the continent. The raw, vulnerable, and unpredictable version

86
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.919
of Tiffany Handish will leave the viewer crying with laughter

87
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.120
and sobbing from heartfelt, relatable and real time self healing.

88
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.639
Bert Kreischer had Sebastian manascalgo on. Sebastian recently played the

89
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.520
Rhea I Comedy Festival. This was on the Two Bears

90
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.680
One Cave podcast. Now, I haven't had a chance to

91
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.080
listen to this yet, but I was curious. Did Bert

92
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.280
Kreischer ask Sebastian about the reod comedy Festival? But I

93
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.439
did a search on the transcript. Now, how I do this?

94
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.280
As I open up on my desktop computer, and I

95
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.680
phrased it that way because I'm from nineteen eighty On

96
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.600
my desktop computer, I opened up the Apple podcast app

97
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.399
and I did a search for find. I searched for

98
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.519
the word Riod. Nothing came up. I searched for the

99
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.040
word Saudi. Nothing came up, and I was like, hmm,

100
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.879
perhaps search isn't working. I should test this. So I

101
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.240
searched for the word pasta, and pasta did come up

102
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.079
in context in the transcript. I don't know who's saying this,

103
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.560
but the words are they go out to dinner and

104
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.639
you're like, hey, can we get the pasta with it? Oh,

105
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.360
we don't do that anymore. You don't do that anymore.

106
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.240
It's like you get upset that you can't share that

107
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.879
experience with somebody else. So that's what they talked about

108
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.800
on the podcast. Bert Kreischer was very very excited about

109
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.680
this interview with Sebastian Maniscalco just back from the comedy

110
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.800
Festival that he shared this hilarious clip. It was phenomenal.

111
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.360
I love where you shot it so good. It's expensive.

112
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.519
You're such an ability to make me giggle that I

113
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.399
can't figure out You and Ny Pargott to the two

114
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.639
people who can make me laugh, and I can't figure

115
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.160
out how to replicate what you do. That's it. You're done.

116
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.160
Do you need to do anything else? What are we doing?

117
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.240
What else do you have to do on top of

118
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.600
the stand up comedy? I mean, you're you're a guy

119
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.839
who's dabbling in a lot of facets of entertainment. How

120
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.279
long is this going to go on? I'm sure you

121
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.480
guys are all asking you, like, how long we have

122
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.399
to come to this house? I s's probably finished the

123
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.319
Jim Gaffigan Bourbon article right otherwise it'll be like December thirtieth,

124
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.160
and I'll want to have pre taped the day and

125
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.160
you'd be like, John, you did three quarters of that

126
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.600
article four months ago. Why is this coming up today?

127
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.319
Did you pre tape today? And the answer will be yes.

128
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.199
But instead I'll just clear it out right now in

129
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:55.920
case you missed the weekend, and you should go back

130
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.759
and listen. Because Johnny Mack was entertaining himself. Jim Gaffigan

131
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.040
sat down with Garden and Gun and I'm still confused

132
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.240
why the website is called Garden and Gun and the

133
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.000
topic is Jim Gaffigan's love of bourbon. We also learned

134
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.920
yesterday Jim Gaffigan is afraid to offend anyone. Lest he

135
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.000
lose even one person in the audience, he'll couch everything safely.

136
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.439
Jim said, what I've learned through my stand up is

137
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.120
that when I come up with material while I make

138
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.680
fun of something, I'll then go do that thing. I

139
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.519
made fun of hiking, I enjoy hiking. I made fun

140
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.000
of grapefruit juice. I love grapefruit juice. Now maybe he

141
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.480
should start making fun of not calling people back who

142
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.439
helped his career early in the serious days. Sorry, I digress,

143
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.959
Jim said, I'm from the Midwest, and one of those

144
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.680
was making fun of all those Midwestern dads with basement bars.

145
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.759
And now I have a bar I constructed, but share

146
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.879
a drink with my brothers and their spouses in that bar.

147
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.279
It's one of my favorite moments. Now. Tom Wilms, who

148
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.120
for Garden Gun, asked Jim gaffigin all these questions, they

149
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.839
did a lightning round. Question number one, what's the best

150
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.399
time of a bourbon? Jim, I'm not a day drinker,

151
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.959
and usually like two and done. Oh, he's a lightweight.

152
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.079
But if I'm here in Louisville and we're sampling, and

153
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.959
it's a whole different thing. Question number two, neat rocks

154
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.000
or cocktail Jim. I'm a big rock guy, but I

155
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.079
like it neat and has to be of a certain

156
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.000
quality to be neat. I do like things cold. I

157
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.480
mean I look like a snowman. I should like ice.

158
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.439
Hilarious Jim. Question number three, what's your best worst dad joke?

159
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.519
Jim Gaffikin said, Here's the thing about dad jokes. The

160
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.720
enjoyment that a father feels and doing a dad joke

161
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.120
is the discomfort inflicks on the child. It's not about

162
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.839
it being funny. Like eight year olds, they think it's funny,

163
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.199
they're figuring it out, they're dumb. But it's about the

164
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.120
annoyance it provides to a teenager. It's the punishment of it.

165
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.279
Spinal Tap is back yet again. No, this isn't a rerun,

166
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.560
this isn't a three month old episode. This is new

167
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.560
news about spinal Tap. They've announced a concert movie, Spinal

168
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.519
Tap at Stonehenge, the final finale. Good title you see.

169
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.800
Spinal Tap at Stonehenge the Final Finale captures a secretly

170
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.199
staged concert at the famed megalithic structure in England. It

171
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.800
features appearances from Shania Twain, Eric Clapton and Josh Grobin.

172
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.879
It'll be on IMA twenty twenty six. It is described

173
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.720
as the first ever rock concert at the historic English

174
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:10.279
Heritage site. Some fact trekkers pointed out, dude, the Thompson

175
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.360
Twins played there. Bleeker Street CEO Kent Sanderson said in

176
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.720
a statement, I'm sold. This is it. They're really serious

177
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.759
this time. Well, this is ostensibly the end. How fitting

178
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.079
it is that the actual probab will send off a

179
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.199
shot historically at Stonehenge, the mysterious landmark that we now

180
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.800
know must have been erected thousands of years ago purely

181
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.879
to serve as the setting for the last act of

182
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.919
spinal tap. Congratulations to bj Novak, you know him from

183
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.919
the office. Well, Fox has taken an equity stake in

184
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.039
his chain food service. Do you know this chain started

185
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.759
as a West Hollywood parking lot pop up in which

186
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:49.120
a Michelin star chef crafted homages to nostalgic chain restaurant classics. Yeah,

187
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.200
they did collabs with Taco Bell. You know, I could

188
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.720
go for some Taco Bell today. Maybe I'll take a ride.

189
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.840
Sometimes Taco Bell hits the spot like I teach on

190
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.799
Monday nights and for some reason at like eight forty

191
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:01.879
five five pm on a Monday night driving home. No,

192
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.960
I'm gonna watch Monday night football, the like super basic,

193
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.360
Taco Bell, Beef, Taco Soft, nothing on. It just hits

194
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.159
the spot. I know some of you think it's like

195
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.440
meat like product wrapped in paper, but it hits the

196
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.639
spot sometimes. Anyway, with collabs with Taco Bell and Beizza

197
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.080
Hut Jack in the box, we need some jack in

198
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:20.759
the boxes on the East coast. Oh, I was just

199
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.799
out in la In and out Burger is the jam,

200
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.720
you guys. We got to get that. In New Jersey Pepsi,

201
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.519
Duncan and Banda Express on the menu. Chain pop Ups

202
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.919
became one of the hottest tickets in town. Now, what

203
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.679
is this development deal? I don't understand it either. Apparently

204
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.399
Chain Media gets a first loop development deal at Fox

205
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.080
with the potential for original content placement on Gordon Ramsey's

206
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.080
food content platform Bite and in vertical videos on Holywater.

207
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.480
What's holy Water? Apparently it's an AI microdramas producer and

208
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:55.080
platform bj Novak said, food continues to define culture. It's

209
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.960
how we celebrate, it's how we remember, it's how we connect.

210
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.279
No one understands how to turn culinary storytelling into cultural obsession.

211
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.320
Like Fox Entertainment and studio Ramsey Global, we're excited to

212
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.559
work together to bring chain experiences to more people. Jud

213
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.720
Appetel joked that Adam Sandler, the great traumatic actor, blew

214
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:17.200
him off after booking SNL. Jud used to room with

215
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.000
Adam Sandler. Yeah, they were living together when Adam Sandler

216
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.080
auditioned for SNL. Judd said, it was a fun time

217
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.679
because all we were doing every day was trying to

218
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.399
write jokes and get up on stage of the improfit

219
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.600
night and tell those jokes. We were very focused. We

220
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.000
didn't have much more to our lives. We had no

221
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.879
responsibility whatsoever, and we were just hustling. We all knew

222
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.080
Adam was going to make it. He was just remarkably

223
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.679
funny to be around, really and had so much charisma,

224
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.759
so we all thought it was going to happen. We

225
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.600
were just interested to see how it was going to happen,

226
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:44.080
and then it did. One day Adam Sandler said I'm

227
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:45.799
going to go audition for Saturday Night Live, and the

228
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.519
next day he said, I got it. Then he left

229
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.600
me alone in the apartment. Jud has a new book,

230
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.000
Adam Sandler wrote a blurb before the book, saying, jud

231
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.240
Appatols put together an amazing scrap book of his life

232
00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.960
and career. The best part there's a lot of pictures,

233
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.840
and the stuff that isn't pictures you don't even have

234
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.759
to look at now. If you do read the words,

235
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.759
you'll be delighted. But again, personally, I didn't. And Amy

236
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.559
Schumer posted a selfie on Instagram while wearing a sports bra. Yeah.

237
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.759
She captioned it no filter, no filler, no clean mirror.

238
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.600
She was showing off her weight loss. And then it's

239
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.840
your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,

240
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.240
tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

241
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.960
If you'd like the program without commercial interruption, open up

242
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.879
Apple Podcasts. There's a banner there it says uninterrupted listening.

243
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.480
You click on that and then you get thirty days

244
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.639
free trial. Then what happens on day thirty one is

245
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.759
you go, ah, I forgot I even did that. And

246
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.799
then I charge you four ninety nine to get this

247
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.919
show on a bunch of others on a network commercial free. Well,

248
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.159
those first thirty or those are on me. Then you

249
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.879
give me money, so I get the five bucks. Then

250
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.440
Apple takes a third of it. I should actually do

251
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.320
the math on this. I think they take thirty percent. Alright,

252
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.679
so point seven times five, John, you're terrible at math,

253
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.799
and it's actually four ninety nine. Should we do Let's

254
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.360
just make it totally accurate while we do this. Sorry,

255
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.960
points seven times four ninety nine, three dollars forty nine

256
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:10.200
and three thousandths of a cent. Now my business partner

257
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.919
gets half of that. So there's a dollar seventy five.

258
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.200
We'll call it one seventy four sixty five. So that's

259
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.320
how much there is there. And then the government's gonna

260
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.039
like take tax out of that, right, what do they

261
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.840
take like twenty eight percent? I'm only gonna see what, uh,

262
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.840
seventy two percent of the dollars seventy four to sixty five.

263
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.200
So I get a buck twenty five if you click

264
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.080
that better and forget to cancel it. But seriously, it's

265
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:34.919
a great way to support the show. You get this one,

266
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.960
five good news stories and a bunch of other things

267
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.759
on the network, all commercial free, and believe me, a

268
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.720
lot of you do it, and it adds up. I

269
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.120
look at the big number and I'm like, ah, this

270
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:45.879
is great. I just forget to do the you know,

271
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.240
Apple takes a cut, Mark gets half and uh inc.

272
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.879
Of tax. Anyway, thanks for the buck twenty five. It's

273
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:52.480
see tomorrow.
