Jim Gappigan's Who Special is out today. Now I don't

3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:13.480
have Hulu. I might have to come over to your

4
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.800
house to watch this thing, or maybe pony up to

5
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.199
six bucks or whatever it is. The skinny out on

6
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.760
Hulu today, the first of the hilarious specials they'll put

7
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.519
out one a month. You probably know about Jim Special

8
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:27.839
because hey, you listen to my podcast and b he

9
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.359
is speaking to every magazine in the world. So that's

10
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.000
what the Hulu publicist has been up to. They shared

11
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.200
a clip on Threads. It's interesting here, it's a good

12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:39.719
joke and it gets a laugh, and then the laugh

13
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.200
turns into clapter. Stop with the clapter. Everybody just laugh.

14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:44.840
We don't need to clap. Here's the clip.

15
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.159
Because being a parent is like being a psychic who's

16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:01:04.079
constantly correct but always ignored all day. Every day. Parents

17
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.280
are like, let me look into my crystal ball. Oh,

18
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.319
it's pretty cold out there. If I want to grab

19
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:15.879
a coat. You're fat. You know, if you stay up late,

20
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.959
you may be tired in the morning. You're bald. Ooh,

21
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.000
I foresee economic hardship. When I kick you out of

22
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:23.560
this house.

23
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.400
Gaffigan was profiled by Men's Health and a bunch of

24
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.680
other places, giving me lots of content to pretape the weekend.

25
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.439
Thanks Jim. Jim has lost some weight, which is the

26
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.319
theme of the special, and he hasn't thrown away his

27
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.280
old clothes, he tells Men's Health, maybe I'm a pack rat,

28
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.200
but I'm like, I can't get rid of that. And

29
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.599
then there's something about the haunting. They're like, you're gonna

30
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.040
wear me again. Jim says he's gone down two pant sizes,

31
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.159
and he points out that many of his jokes were

32
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.280
scented around his weight. Yeah, he was the food joke

33
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.920
guy for years, right, hot pockets. Oh, by the way,

34
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.640
I forget, I keep forgetting to mention. I'm so glad

35
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.840
he stopped calling every single album some variation with a

36
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:03.599
pale joke in it. He was the pale guy for

37
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.439
a while too. Don't forget he was the pale guy

38
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.920
after he was the food guy. I'm glad he's dropped

39
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.360
all that. Jim says people always used to say if

40
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.800
you lost weight, you'd lose your whole act that nobody

41
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.479
ever said that, and that was never true. No one

42
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.319
ever said that, Jim, No one ever said that. It's

43
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.639
so strange because in some ways we're not the big

44
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.840
funny guy, are we. That's the role I'm supposed to play,

45
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.280
But also in some ways that may be the avenue

46
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.360
of our warmth. I never thought of Jim that way.

47
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.360
If you put a water pistol to my head and

48
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:29.960
said I'm gonna soak you if you don't answer, I

49
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.759
would have said he was a family comedian, playing kind

50
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.680
of in the same space as Tom Poppa. I never

51
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.560
thought of him as a food guy. I mean, I

52
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.599
know he did have the Hot Pocket Show. But Jim

53
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.039
is on weight loss drug Moonjarro, which works by reducing

54
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.759
appetite and improving how the body breaks down sugar and fat.

55
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.800
It is taken by injection in the thigh, stomach, or

56
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.840
arm ick, and it is FDA proved to treat type

57
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.439
two diabetes. Jim says, most of our lives have been

58
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.759
told just control your appetite, just stop being a pig.

59
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:57.680
The reality is we can't. Maybe our brains are a

60
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.479
little wonky or whatever. I think in some ways, the

61
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.360
appetites's presence, or the justification for people who have compulsive

62
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.439
eating that they're not weak, that some of it can

63
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.159
be fixed. In the profile, we also learned Jim is

64
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.919
growing vegetables and says, growing vegetables it makes you more

65
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.840
interested in consuming those vegetables, which makes you healthier, which

66
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.719
makes you kind of look at what you're consuming, which

67
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.000
makes fast food look like the crap that it is.

68
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.879
Wasn't it Father's Day when you were selling us bourbon, Jim?

69
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.520
How does that fit into this new vegetable diet. I

70
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.719
just have a question. Is that somebody in the audience

71
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.719
had that question. They wanted to ask you? So are

72
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.759
we not drinking a bourbon now? We're eating vegetables? Got it?

73
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.879
Johnny Feisty Today, I know the words come out. I

74
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.120
don't know what to tell you. Hey. Bill Burr is

75
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.000
stepping down from his role as CEO of All Things Comedy.

76
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.280
He and one of his longtime business partners, Mike, are

77
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.639
launching North Hill Productions, a new production company with an

78
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.840
emphasis on film and TV. All Things Comedy is named

79
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.759
new co CEOs. Bill remains on the board. Bill's two podcasts,

80
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.400
the Monday Morning podcast than Anything Better? I didn't even

81
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.840
know he had it, and What's anything Better? Am I

82
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.080
stupid that I've never heard of this? Anything better Bill

83
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.520
Burr and Paul Versey seems to be one hundred and

84
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.840
seventy episodes, and each episode since September has been with

85
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.000
NFL Picks. Now, look, I don't have to admit to

86
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.959
not knowing about this, but I'm admitting to don't know

87
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.199
about it, haven't heard of it, maybe even told you

88
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.879
about it once when they launched it. But I'm on

89
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.879
the internet, believe me, sixteen hours a day, and when

90
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.519
I'm not prepping a comedy podcast, I'm working in the

91
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.800
podcast industry, and this thing has never hit my radar.

92
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.839
I look at charts, It's never hit my radar. I'm

93
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.920
stunned to find out this exists. Again. You can flame

94
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.839
me on social media and be like, what kind of

95
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.680
idiot doesn't know Bill Burr has a second podcast? This

96
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.160
kind of idiot. I'm not saying it sucks. I'm just

97
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.120
telling you had no idea. I like football, I like

98
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.879
Bill Burr. I will check that out. Personal friend, Larry

99
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.040
the Cable Guy is touring Nebraska. I'll start the tour

100
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.519
in January. It's called Larry's Nebraska road Trip. Proceeds from

101
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.360
the tour will be donated to a local charity. In

102
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.199
each market. Cable Guy says, I've spent a lot of

103
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.079
time traveling the United States. There's nothing like sharing some

104
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.240
laughs with folks in small towns across Nebraska. The people

105
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.319
have been my biggest supporters, and I can't wait to

106
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:11.839
put on a great show and get back to the

107
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.680
places that shaped me. I have spent a lot of

108
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.800
time with Larry the Cable Guy slash Dan Whitney. He

109
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.560
is an awesome dude. I know some people I roll

110
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.720
his act. You know, some comedians have acts. For example,

111
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.160
Gilbert Godfried had an act. You ever meet Gilbert Godfried

112
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.839
in real life? Very soft spoken man. Was not the

113
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.759
same as the PERSONA cable guy is an awesome guy.

114
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.560
He'll kick off the tour in Kearnie, Nebraska, January twenty third.

115
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.040
He's also going to Wahoo. That's awesome. Wow, Look at

116
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.199
these venues. Wahoo High School, then Central City High School,

117
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.000
Pawnee City High School, Falls City, then Norfolk where he'll

118
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.839
play the Norfolk High School, Johnny Carson Theater, York High School,

119
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.839
and the Midwest Theater in Scott's Bluff, Nebraska. Wow, that's awesome.

120
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.680
All right, I'm gonna hit up as publicist I want

121
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.240
to talk to him about this sometime in the next

122
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:02.959
two months. I will do that as soon as I'm

123
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.879
done recording today. I told you yesterday I watched Adam

124
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.160
Ray's special on Netflix, This is the Doctor Phil, one

125
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.839
that like I didn't get, Now I get it. Oh

126
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.759
my god, that was so much fun. I was laughing

127
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.079
out loud, which I don't always do with comedy specials.

128
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.079
And as the time went on, I was texting my friends.

129
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.240
I texted my son, I made my wife come down.

130
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.879
I was really enjoying this thing. It does have diminishing

131
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.439
returns as the hour goes on. There are some special

132
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.519
guests who appear. I don't want to totally spoil who

133
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.279
shows up, but the front half of the special fantastic.

134
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.040
It will make my end of the year list, but

135
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.600
in that tier two part I won't go down the list. Today.

136
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.560
The only Times caught up with Adam Ray. They were curious,

137
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.639
what made you decide on doing a special with Netflix

138
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.079
Is Doctor Phil rather than doing a standard specialist yourself.

139
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.920
Adam said, yeah, Netflix came to us once the show

140
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.000
That's the live show at Comedy Store got as big

141
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.600
as it's gotten. Shows were selling out months in advance

142
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.800
of the Comedy Store. Then we added theater shows and

143
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.959
those are all twenty five hundred to five thousand SEA

144
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.600
and those started selling out well in advance. So it's

145
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.240
just one of those things where the people in comedy

146
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.759
over at Netflix got wind of it and had been

147
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.120
tracking it. We've had big names in the comedy game.

148
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.439
But once we booked the real Doctor Phil, the Netflix

149
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.600
people were like, all right, this is upthing special Phil

150
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.920
and Phil together is really cool. Let's do it. It

151
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.160
all came together really quickly. The only time said had

152
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.079
you even get the idea to dress like Doctor Phil?

153
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.120
Of all people, Adam said, it got a point where

154
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.399
I was getting it into a monotonous routine of auditioning,

155
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.759
stand up podcasting, waiting to be on people's stuff, all

156
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.360
good noke plates, but I was losing some joy for

157
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.800
what I was doing. If I'm not creating, I'm not happy.

158
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.680
I just got tired of waiting around. Was thinking if

159
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.839
I could have my show, what would it be. I

160
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.199
thought releasing a pilot would be a way to challenge myself.

161
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:40.560
So I was like, all right, I'd love to play

162
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.680
three different characters in a dysfunctional family show. There was

163
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.879
a son a grandma, and one was a gay hairdresser

164
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:47.600
with a fat suit, A bald guy that left his

165
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.439
wife became gay open to salon. The makeup took four

166
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.360
plus hours. We shot it over a weekend. I got

167
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:53.959
a bunch of favors from friends who are in it.

168
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.439
One of my friends was playing a salon client in

169
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.360
it and told me I sort of looked like Doctor Phil.

170
00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:59.720
So that night I was like, I should just go

171
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.959
do stand up in this outfit. I figured I should

172
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.160
milk it and get a little more content. After getting

173
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.920
into makeup for that long, I hit up Joel McHale

174
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.560
was over at the laugh Factory. It's almost going to

175
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.399
come by, and Joel said it'd bring me up as

176
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.040
Doctor Phil. I went up as him and we were

177
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.639
messing around with the voice a little bit. People were

178
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.560
eating it up. That's awesome, and this was pre pandemic,

179
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.680
Adam said. When COVID hit Jeremiah Walkins, who plays a

180
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.959
different character in every show, and I were talking about

181
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:23.399
trying to find a safeway to have some fun. We

182
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.439
were in to the little studio space and did these

183
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.879
lost Doctor Phil episodes where Phil would interview one of

184
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.519
his characters when it provised for two hours and put

185
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.120
around forty minutes of it on YouTube. That's where I

186
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.720
got to find what the version of the character was

187
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.480
for me honing it and getting reps from doing it.

188
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.799
I found this kind of likable yet abrasive guy who's

189
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.480
still trying to help these people. The actor strike hit

190
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.600
shortly after we got back from COVID. It was like,

191
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.600
I need to be throwing more darts. I was already

192
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.720
doing these Adam and Friends shows at the Comedy Store,

193
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.399
but there were a bunch of these type of shows

194
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.919
that started popping up, so it kind of made me

195
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.919
feel as doing what everyone else was doing. Burr had

196
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.120
a cancel on one of my shows, but he was

197
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.799
committed to do the next date no matter what, and

198
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.639
I was like, Okay, now would be a good time

199
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.519
as any to try this out. I was like, Bill,

200
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.080
instead of doing a stand up show and thinking of

201
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.320
doing Doctor Phil the monologue, some CrowdWork and we'll do

202
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.000
an interview and then play a game. He could have

203
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.759
been more excited about it. That really gave me the

204
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.559
juice to do it and went really well, sold out

205
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.440
in a day and became a challenge of all right,

206
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.399
let's do more of these, and let's play with the

207
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.559
elements of it. Changes all the time. We found a

208
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.320
really good groove. Next thing, you know, we're doing the

209
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.360
Netflix special and live streaming it and that was a

210
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.559
huge success and got the show to people outside my

211
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.879
normal fan base. There's a lot more here. I'll pick

212
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.440
up on that tomorrow. But watch that special. It is fantastic.

213
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.519
You know what's good news if you me when you

214
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.879
cut an Adam Ray story in half and bump four

215
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.679
things before the commercial break. That means you have enough

216
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.679
stuff to pretape the weekend. Ha ha, Look I app

217
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:40.240
that weekend. What do you want for me? I don't

218
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.279
do this seven days a week. I do it four.

219
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.960
Usually I do other things. Now, this next thing I

220
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.399
didn't plan. There just happened to be three things in

221
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.679
a row that are all British. Matt friend. He went

222
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.840
on Sky News and he busted out as Trump impression

223
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.480
and a pretty good King Charles. Let's listen.

224
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.480
You know, I went to the Churchill the war Rooms.

225
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.639
Churchill's a friend of mine. Two we golf last week

226
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.679
at mari A Lago. Just a great guy, little heavy set,

227
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.919
but a great guy. I don't know, it just happens.

228
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.720
You've been getting me out of the loop. Who's difficult

229
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.120
to impersonally? Have you ever given up?

230
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.559
Well, I'm trying to figure out other dialects.

231
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.159
You know. The King Charles is quite fun when I

232
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.480
come here in and I try out different voices and

233
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.399
it's more based off of the Crowns interpretation.

234
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.360
Now tonight in the UK is the twenty twenty four

235
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:34.039
Royal Variety performance. King Charles will be at this thing.

236
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.679
By the way, I wanted to crossroad. We have a

237
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.080
whole show called Palace Intrigue. All we do is talk

238
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.399
about the British Royal family. Now we do it as

239
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.960
New Yorkers, so we're not like respectful of the Royal family.

240
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.960
We're not disrespectful, but like we're not like, ooh, we

241
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.399
said the wrong thing, or we didn't call him his majesty,

242
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.960
we got someone's tud or we don't care. We're New Yorkers.

243
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.159
Oh my goodness, what a fun topic. If nothing else,

244
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.279
Harry and Meghan carry the show. Love you Harry, Love

245
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.799
you Meghan. Keep doing what you're doing because it's great

246
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.159
for downloads. That's called Palace Intrigue. Wherever you get your

247
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.159
shows anyway. The King his Majesty will be at the

248
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.799
Royal Variety performance tonight. Short Old did a preview from

249
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.879
a comedy standpoint comedians Ellie Taylor, Matt Ford, Scott Bennett,

250
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.000
who is a different person than the guy who doesn't

251
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.480
like my Joe Cooy joke is a different guy and

252
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.480
Larry Dean. We'll share the stage with an impressive lineup

253
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.279
at the Royal Albert Hall. You've heard of that, thanks Beatles.

254
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.000
Also at this show Elton john not a comedian, Magicians

255
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.440
Penn and Taylor kind of comedians. The Mischief Theater will

256
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.679
preview their upcoming West End show, The Comedy about Spies

257
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.159
that seems to be a comedy. Proceeds from the Royal

258
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.600
Variety Performance will benefit the Royal Variety Charity, which supports

259
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.320
those of the entertainment industry who are in need of

260
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:48.120
care and assistants. Meanwhile, the Times of London went to

261
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.399
go see Zanab Johnson. She's got a show in soho

262
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.759
That show's called his jobs off The Times right. She'll

263
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.080
often take one slightly wonky notion, then unpack its lack

264
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.840
of logic at length. The friend who were buy canned

265
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.360
food and postage stamps when the pandemic broke, say postage stamps,

266
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.120
or suggestion that the way to deter potential burglars was

267
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.919
to leave her male friends boots outside her door, making

268
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.600
every nonsense register on her expressive face as she keeps

269
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.159
up a kind of nothing condemned me hostess charm. She

270
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.120
carries the room the Big Stages Beckon four stars out

271
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.240
of five. She's at the Soho Theater through the twenty third.

272
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.080
If you're in Vancouver, it's the Little Weird Weekend, a

273
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.879
three night festival featuring ten shows by local comedians hosted

274
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.320
by the Little Mountain Gallery. The gold of the festivals

275
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.759
support local comedy while pushing the boundaries of normal formats.

276
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.039
Vancouver is Awesome, says. Some of the shows include a

277
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.840
local take on task Master, a show inspired by the

278
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.600
am I the a whole subreddit on Reddit, and an

279
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.879
interactive stand up comedy show that allows the crowd to

280
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.120
comment on the show while it's happening. Brent Constantine is

281
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.440
the executive director and says, we really like alternative formats

282
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.759
that are outside traditional stand up or improv. You know,

283
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.559
I don't forget if I mentioned that's why I liked

284
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.039
the Adam Ray Doctor Phil thing, because it was trying

285
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.960
to be something right. It was just whether it lands

286
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.519
or not, it went for it, and I love things

287
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.720
that go for it. Brent Constantine said, Our hope is

288
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.559
that this encourages people to put on different kinds of shows,

289
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.679
and also that some of these first time shows will

290
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:17.639
be successful and run regularly. Amen from Premiere Christian dot

291
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.759
com You're home for comedy news. Fern Brady has had

292
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:25.399
an advertisement for her tour band by the Advertising Standards Authority.

293
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.919
The ASA ruled that the advertisement was offensive to Christians.

294
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.480
All right, John, what's going on here? Well? The ad

295
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.399
featured Brady appearing to squirt milk from her breast into

296
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.120
the mouth of a man dressed in religious clothing in

297
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.320
front of a stained glass window. Fern Brady argued that

298
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.080
the image was a satirical recreation of the Lactation of

299
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:47.360
Saint Bernard, which I'm unfamiliar with, but apparently is a

300
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.679
seventeenth century painting by Alonso Canou which depicts the Virgin

301
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.919
Mary sprang milk into the mouth of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.

302
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.879
Is that a real thing? Deacon Mike, where are you?

303
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.039
I need you? I should just call him. Um um, Yeah,

304
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.279
I'm doing a google here, and this is the thing.

305
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.919
I'm sourcing the University of Iowa.

306
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.200
Here.

307
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.519
They seem legitimate. According to a fourteenth century legend, Bernard

308
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.559
prayed before a statue of the Madonna Latins. As he

309
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.559
spoke the words show yourselves to be a mother. The

310
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.000
statue suddenly came to life. The Virgin placed her breast

311
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.600
into Bernard's mouth and nursed him as she did the

312
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.080
christ child. In many cases, this tale was illustrated with

313
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.159
Bernard and the Virgin standing at a distance from one

314
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.320
another as the virgin squeezes milk from her breast that

315
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:32.759
shoots into Bernard's mouth. John Reining in comedy show Remember Yes, Yes, Yes, Sorry,

316
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.240
I went down the rabbit hole there, Fern Brady parody

317
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.399
that in an ad, the ASA has ruled its offensive

318
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.840
to Christians. Fern said the ad was meant as a

319
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.840
contemporary interpretation aligned with her reverent comedic style, not an

320
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:51.159
attempt to mock or belittle its original religious significance. All right,

321
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.200
I'm a Christian. I'm not offended, and Fern, I don't

322
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.000
believe a word you said. You know what you're doing.

323
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.600
Come on. You know what you're doing. You know, don't

324
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.360
act like, oh, it's a contemporary interpreation. You know what

325
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.360
you're doing. Come on. Brady responded to the ban, reportedly

326
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.480
calling the person who complained some virgin on social media

327
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.639
and questioning why the ad was deemed objectionable. You know why.

328
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:15.639
And I'm not going out on that one. I can't

329
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.080
wrap up on that story. One more from Thrillist, they

330
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.879
caught up with a partner. Ninturla, the subject to travel

331
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.159
a porn has said, I grew up really enjoying to travel.

332
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.039
My parents were both doctors and that go to lots

333
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.200
of medical conferences in all kinds of cities. They brought

334
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.519
me along. We went to Hawaii once and I saw

335
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.919
my first woppin, which is the child of a whale

336
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.279
and a dolphin, And that really stuck with me. Is

337
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.399
that a thing that's not a thing? Is it? Boy?

338
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.480
This show's weird today, all right? I typed walpin in

339
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.559
and Google auto completed to walp in Hawaii. According to Wikipedia,

340
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.879
a walpin is an extremely rare cetacean hybrid born from

341
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.720
a mating of a female come and bottlenose dolphin with

342
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.159
a male false killer whale. That's a thing now. The

343
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.960
Guardian has a headline for twenty eighteen say don't call

344
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.799
it a walpin. First a rear sight of a whale

345
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.000
dolphin hybrid. What is this show? Today? From twenty eighteen

346
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.240
the Guardian, scientists are chauting the first sighting of a

347
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.320
hybrid between a melon headed whale and a rough toothed

348
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.360
dolphin in the Ocean of Hawaii. But don't call it

349
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.200
a woppin. They say. The melon headed whale is one

350
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.679
of the very species that's called a whale, but it's

351
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:21.279
technically a dolphin. Robin Baird is a research biologist with

352
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.960
Washington State based Cascadia Research Collective and says calling it

353
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.480
something like a woppin doesn't make any sense. I think

354
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.320
calling it a wopin just confuses the situation more than

355
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.639
it already is. Look at all the trouble you stirred

356
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:34.679
up upon in a trailer, but at least everyone has

357
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.480
forgotten about the lactating story I just did. And I'm

358
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:38.960
getting out there. See you tomorrow.
