1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.919
Caalaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.519
Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Behind

3
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.480
the scenes here this is actually take two. I started

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.839
to go down a rabbit hole. There is an article

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.839
in the Daily Mail, the headline Kevin Harten crisis, staff

6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.760
goes scorched earth to expose secrets, Empire crimbles and sex

7
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.920
scandal refuses to die. And as I just started going

8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.559
through it, I'm like, I don't even know what we're

9
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.159
talking about here. I don't want to get in a lawsuit.

10
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.880
I don't want to have an opinion. But just as

11
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.039
I did the story, I'm like, this doesn't feel right

12
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.960
for the show. But if the exciting headline gets your attention,

13
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.399
I'll let you read it for yourself. In the Daily Mail,

14
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.320
let's talk about Jimmy Kimmel, who did an interview with

15
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.679
Vulture that headline, Jimmy Kimmel would stop if he could.

16
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.520
Trump wants him out late night, is dying and he's tired.

17
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.000
What does the end look like? The article walks through

18
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.520
Kimmel's career, including the early struggles of Jimmy Kimmel live

19
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.840
some of the stuff that has not aged particularly well.

20
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.480
Kimble says he is willing to apologize for things he

21
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.120
believes crossed the line the quote, I don't consider apology

22
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:08.920
to be a defeat. I think it's the very basis

23
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.640
of Catholicism. But we learned that Kimmel is passed the

24
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.000
point where he can be persuaded to apologize or something

25
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.840
he doesn't think is wrong. Quoting Kimmel, one of the

26
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:17.920
things we talked about when I first got suspended was

27
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.159
that I can't do the show if I'm going to

28
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.480
be micromanaged. They got into the end of the Late Show,

29
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.040
Jimmy Kimmel said, I feel a little bit defeated by

30
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.319
it in a lot of ways. I feel like I'm

31
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.519
looking at my own future. If you look at the

32
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:30.799
number of views me and my colleagues get online every day,

33
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.480
and add in our linear television ratings, he says it's

34
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.040
silly to call the format less relevant. However, says we're

35
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.120
not just dying of natural causes, We're being poisoned. He

36
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.319
questioned the idea of the Late Show with Steven Colbert

37
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.599
losing forty million dollars a year, pointing out that they

38
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.439
had offered Colbert a five year contract and then two

39
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.200
years later, we're like, yeah, no, we don't need this

40
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.760
show anymore. Jimmy Kimmel said it mighty believed that over

41
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.040
the course of those two years they suddenly started losing

42
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.359
forty million dollars a year. Those are just made up numbers.

43
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.599
He adds, it's not like when Johnny Carson or even

44
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.760
Jay Leno were raking in the dot. But he's been

45
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.840
told by ABC that Jimmy Kimmelive is profitable. Last December,

46
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.080
Disney extended Kimmel's contract for one year, more than the

47
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.439
typical three year renewal. Jimmy Kimmel said, everything is so

48
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.560
tumultuous that seemed to make sense. It's definitely not how

49
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.280
it's gone in the past. The current contract expires May

50
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.240
twenty twenty seven. Kimmell says it's important to me to

51
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:21.719
be responsible. I know I could go out in a

52
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.599
blaze of glory and get a lot of applause for it,

53
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.360
but it would be a very selfish thing to do.

54
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.159
Kimmel is thinking about the end of the show. He

55
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.439
told Vulture six years ago, I told him I thought

56
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.360
I was done when Biden was president, but he wants

57
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.599
to end on his own terms. Kimmel's producer Aaron Irwin

58
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.080
said he's been talking about leaving for a while. She'd

59
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.960
like to see the show continue through the twenty twenty

60
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:41.599
eight election, but I don't know if Jimmy can do

61
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.159
it for that long. He's tired. Kimmel will take a

62
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.759
break this summer. Johnny Mack has said, I think that's

63
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.000
a strategic mistake, and you should grab the Colbert diaspora.

64
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.240
But maybe Kimbill doesn't care. If he's thinking about ending

65
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.919
the show, I don't know I would have him on

66
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.560
this summer. His break will start after the Knicks win

67
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.960
the NBA Championship. Kimill's break starts after the NBA Final

68
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.479
on June nineteenth. Normally, renewal conversations would be underway by now,

69
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.960
but as of late May, they haven't begun. Kimil said,

70
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.319
I don't know what ABC is going to want to do.

71
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.000
It's an unusual position to be in, but I do

72
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.759
still have a year left on my contract and that's

73
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.080
what I agreed to do. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel won a

74
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.560
Peabody Award and gave a speech Let's listen to Jimmy.

75
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.439
I've made some edits here for language and pacing.

76
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:23.479
I'd say I.

77
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.400
Felt pretty dumb a lot of times in my life,

78
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.960
but I've never felt dumber than I do right now,

79
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.639
being on stage with this group of people who expose

80
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.719
the horrors of ice on prison abuse and protests against

81
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:40.879
the Vietnam War teacher who took on Putin. I called

82
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:50.919
our president fatty shack and blobbed the builder and Leiger

83
00:03:51.000 --> 00:04:01.719
Woods and the hungry, hungry hypocrite, our fondling father Malardo Cintandella,

84
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.680
and no Stra dumbass, And somehow we.

85
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.159
Got a peabody out of that move.

86
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.199
Making jokes about the president in America shouldn't win you

87
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.720
a prize. We have the right guaranteed by the Constitution

88
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.519
to criticize and satirize our leaders, as is a right

89
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.360
that many of us take for granted. It's one that

90
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.680
I took for granted for the first fifty seven years

91
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.360
of my life until September of last year, when the

92
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.639
FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. But then I experienced

93
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.720
something that surprised me even more. I watched as millions

94
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.720
of people, even some from across the aisle objected. They

95
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:48.480
spoke up, they marched, they canceled, their subscriptions to Star

96
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.720
Wars because they refused to allow our freedoms to be

97
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.199
bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House.

98
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:56.680
They sent a message.

99
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.279
You sent a message that we do care, and we

100
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.600
will stand up, and that we will not stand by

101
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.120
when comedy and journalism and dissent are censored and regulated

102
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.439
and criminalized.

103
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.519
Jo Rogan was talking with Harland Williams about the roost

104
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.439
of Kevin Hart. Joe Rogan thinks some comedians.

105
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:18.560
I don't know.

106
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.800
I'll let him explain it. I'm pretty sure he's talking

107
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.439
about Chelsea Handler here, But you tell me. I've made

108
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.480
edits for both language and pacing.

109
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.720
To defend Tony to everybody. Yeah he's a great guy. Yeah,

110
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.720
he's a great guy. Yea, yeah, he's just like in

111
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.120
that world. You have to understand the roast world. That

112
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.680
is not the real world. Kids, That is you're going

113
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.480
for blood. You know, like if you're in a cage

114
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.720
fight and you elbow someone in the face, it's not

115
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.399
because you're a bad person. You have like that is

116
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.720
your job. That's the game we're playing. These are the

117
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.639
rules that we're under. And so when you see people

118
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.600
complain about it, see I understand the general public that's

119
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.120
not aware of what roasts are because the reality of

120
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.439
roasts are especially for like if you're a twenty two

121
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.600
year old kid, the last time they were roasts on

122
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.240
television before the Tom Brady Bros. Was literally ten years ago. Yeah,

123
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.240
like do you remember the Charlie Sheen Rose, the Donald

124
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.439
Trump Rose, the Comedy Central roast. They saw them all

125
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.040
the time, all the time. They were a long time ago. Yeah,

126
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.160
it's a long time in the zeitgeys, right, So those

127
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.639
things don't exist to kids. To kids, comedy is joking

128
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.160
about stuff. Comedy is Chris Rock, Comedy is Kevin Hart,

129
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.639
Comedy is Luis c K. That's what they think of

130
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.160
comedy as they don't under they don't even understand the

131
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.920
jokes like that this is roast. Jokes are mean. They've

132
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.959
always been mean. They could be cruel to personal, ruthless.

133
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.160
Go back and watch all those old Comedy Central roles.

134
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.399
They were brutal, they were brutal. Patrecea would just eviscerate

135
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.720
the entire stadium those things. The thing is, like, if

136
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.319
you're a person and you're not accustomed to roast and

137
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.079
you don't get why those jokes are so mean. I

138
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:57.560
get it. But comedians, comedians that are getting upset about

139
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.879
these roast jokes, you know what this is. You know

140
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.120
exactly what this. You're a trader. You're just using this

141
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.879
moment to try to boost yourself up, to try to

142
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.519
like knock down what's happening in these things. You could

143
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.199
disagree with the content, you could say, I think they

144
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.439
went too far with this. I don't think, but this

145
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.560
this pretending that these people are actual racists and Nazis

146
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.920
just because they're telling these jokes that are in a roast.

147
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.560
I'm gonna be careful with this next one because I

148
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.399
don't want to visit from anybody wearing sunglasses. George Lopez

149
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.519
made a joke about a very very famous person like picture,

150
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.639
like a really famous person that's in the news all

151
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.000
the time. And George Lopez made a joke about that person.

152
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.079
A few minutes after the joke, he received a phone

153
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.720
call telling him expect a visit from guys in sunglasses.

154
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.439
You know I'm talking about those guys. Here is George

155
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.480
Lopez talking to Shaquille O'Neil. I've made some edits because

156
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.079
I don't need to be visited by anybody.

157
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.680
I was with Cedric and his daughter at the chateau

158
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.160
for a birthday, drinking some champagne. I leave, I get

159
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.480
in the car. I turned my phone on Instagram had

160
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.319
said this was probably like maybe four and a half

161
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:04.399
years ago. Allegedly Iran had offered an eighty million dollar bounty,

162
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.519
and I put in there, we'll.

163
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:08.959
Do it for half.

164
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.399
And I wasn't.

165
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.360
I wasn't even home yet.

166
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.800
I wasn't even home, and my publicist school whenever round,

167
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.720
my publicist calls, it's just like, oh, I said, hello,

168
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.240
where are you? I said, up in the car. But

169
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.240
but but where were you? Where have you been? And

170
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.600
I told her man and uh, she said, it's it's big,

171
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.840
like it's big. And Fox had these people that you know,

172
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.480
he should be arrested. Of course, yeah, so I had.

173
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.600
I had it on Fox occasionally to see. And then

174
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.159
one day I get up in the morning, I walked

175
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.559
by it. I stopped against my attention and said, George

176
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.759
Lopez should expect a visit early next week. And uh,

177
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.039
five minutes after that, my phone rang and I said, hey,

178
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.759
George Lobe, you should expect the visit early next The

179
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.240
same thing that was all the thing. They told me,

180
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.600
and they came over. Attorney with me and they come

181
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:04.120
to the house.

182
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.159
Ronnie Chang was at Harvard class day and unleashed on AI.

183
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.879
He said, can I say fai fi fai? He didn't

184
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.240
say f he said the full word there. Chang said,

185
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.240
it's stupid. It's so stupid. If you tried using it,

186
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.840
it's always wrong. AI says that Harvard has a fifty

187
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.039
six point nine billion dollar endowment and that the Harvard

188
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.000
Graduate Students' Union is on strike to try and get

189
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.159
a liverable wage increase to twenty five dollars an hour.

190
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.639
There's no way that's true. I mean, that's ridiculous. How

191
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.960
bad are these AI hallucinations? Getting? The mission of your

192
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.840
generation is to destroy AI, kill it. Ronnie Chang explains,

193
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.759
the creating is the fun part. The best part in

194
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.840
comedy writing is figuring out the puzzle pieces of a

195
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.200
joke and getting the self regard from having accomplished a

196
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.440
different thing. Why would I want AI to take it

197
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.600
away from me? On mattin Sheen's Secret podcast, The Guys

198
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.639
discussed communism. Here's a clip I've made an edit for language.

199
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.720
Watch the Little documentary on Mals dung.

200
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:57.039
What's he up to?

201
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.120
He's dead, but he killed a lot of people in

202
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.120
the way out a lot. It's important to study communism, yeah,

203
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.639
because you know the youngsters these days, they think it's

204
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:08.559
far out and fly.

205
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:09.879
Yeah, it's really weird.

206
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:14.279
It's not usually results in about fifty million people dying.

207
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.320
Doesn't work typically, Yeah, it's no, it's pretty I mean

208
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:19.559
that's you know again, I've been making the YouTube debates

209
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:21.120
spear watching that and that's a big one, Like how

210
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.600
you uncomfortable calling yourself a communist if that many people died?

211
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.440
And it's like, well, it's because it sounds nice, you know.

212
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:28.240
It's like, no, we shared.

213
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:32.679
It's like it starts with the seizure of private property exactly.

214
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:33.480
That's crazy.

215
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.600
Yeah, it is funny where it's like built on It's

216
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.679
like it's not really sharing.

217
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:42.240
It built from the government taking everyone's property. Well, the

218
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.440
government's terrible. Yeah, I don't trust them with anything, it'd

219
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.240
be horrible. Why do people want to give them more power?

220
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.600
New England Patriots fans not happy with Matt Rife. Why

221
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:57.039
quarterback Drake May held a celebrity softball game on Sunday night.

222
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.639
Some of the participants comedian Matt Rife Patriot's running back

223
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.240
Ramandre Stevenson. On one play during the game, Matt Riife

224
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.480
got a bad throat a first base after what looked

225
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.799
like a routine ground out, so Riife went to second base.

226
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.759
He got caught up in a rundown. Rife wound up

227
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.080
aggressively sliding into second base and took out the legs

228
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.120
of the Patriots running back. Can you imagine if you

229
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.480
lost your running back because Matt Rife slid into second base. Luckily,

230
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.200
Stevenson appeared to be okay after the play. John mulaney

231
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.279
has shared the new entry in his book Club. He

232
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.200
wrote on social media, it's on threads. If I recall correctly,

233
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.159
Hello from a wahwah somewhere outside Washington, DC. Mlanie reads

234
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:36.919
this month is all about the Left and the Lucky

235
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.200
by Willie Vlauton. M'laney says, I've read this in a day,

236
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.080
just in love with the characters. Very funny people in

237
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.639
some cases, very tragic, very human. Reminded me a lot

238
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.159
of one of my favorite movies, Joe by David Gordon Green.

239
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.039
I'm really a sucker for any story of an older

240
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.440
person taking a lost kid under their wing. This one

241
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.679
is electric. Buy it at your favorite bookstore. Meanwhile, Tig

242
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.600
Nataro has joined the cast of Beach Read. Character details

243
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.200
are under wraps, but in Beach Read, idealistic romance novelist

244
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:07.320
January Andrews and cynical literary fiction writer Augustus Gus Everett

245
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.840
played by Patrick Schwarzenegger, have at least one thing in common,

246
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.480
a serious case of writer's block. When they unexpectedly find

247
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.399
themselves living next door to each other in a small

248
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.000
Lake Michigan beach town for the summer, they strike an

249
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:21.679
unlikely bet to swap genres, and the lines between fiction

250
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:26.279
and romance begin to blur. Exciting. Huh all right, I

251
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.600
don't feel like playing the Gossip Corner song today, but

252
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.600
we are on Gossip Corner. This was on Threads. There

253
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:37.039
is an account called Assistance versus Agents. Their description the

254
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.240
next Generation of Entertainment. We can contact a team Warner

255
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.519
Bailey at United Talent dot com and we are told

256
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.960
there are jobs, news and interviews every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

257
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.240
Now on Monday they posted ever wonder what some of

258
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.799
the biggest comedians request on their writers? And I was like,

259
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.360
I do so I don't know is this one hundred

260
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.399
percent accurate or is this totally made up? We are

261
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.840
on gossip corner here. Use this information at your discretion.

262
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.360
But according to this post on threads dot com, Bill

263
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:10.159
Burr's writer asks for two Kind bars, two Cliff bars,

264
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.600
two Quest chocolate brownie protein bars, two Quest chocolate chip

265
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:20.120
protein cookies, two Deer packwater cases, six bottles of unsweetened

266
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.120
iced tea can be pure Leaf or Golden Peak. Dave

267
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.440
Chappelle's writer apparently includes American Spirit cigarettes, two Blue too black.

268
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.639
Kevin Hart He's never in the news. Apparently Kevin Hart

269
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.360
needs parentheses, thirty six parentheses, twelve bottles of spring water,

270
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.519
and then it says keep twelve bottles at room temperature.

271
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.159
So I'm guessing thirty six total, but twelve of them

272
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.559
room temperature and the other twenty four presumably cold. The

273
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.159
alleged Kevin Hart writer also asks for simply brand fruit punch,

274
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.480
half a gallon, simply brand lemonade, half a gallon simply

275
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.840
brand watermelon, half a gallon, a Curriig coffee machine, some

276
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.159
assorted k cups, two boxes of lit would iv any flavor,

277
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.840
but no strawberry, so that's not any flavor. It's any flavor.

278
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.919
Butt strawberry, a Canada dry ginger, ale x L dudewipes.

279
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.799
So Kevin Hart was very thirsty and now he needs

280
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.080
some dude wipes. Are you familiar with dudewipes? If you

281
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.480
go to dudewipes dot com, they will tell you we

282
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.279
make flushable wipes, billions of them assembled right here in

283
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.759
the USA. They're tagline billions of butts wiped. That's on

284
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.519
Kevin Hart's writer. Where what else does he want? Pathwater,

285
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:31.440
Essentia or Icelantic water, twelve bottles of those four diet

286
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.879
Doctor Pepper twelve ounce or sixteen ounce. It's not like

287
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.360
Kevin Hart's Picky Sea. Four smart energy drinks are sorted,

288
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.440
and he's also down with the unsweetened iced tea pure

289
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.399
Leaf or Golden Peak. Gabriel Iglesias, his writer asks for

290
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.120
cold brew coffee Stumptown preferred. Joe Coy, he want host

291
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:49.840
of the Golden Globes. It made a horrible, mean joke

292
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.320
about Cheryl Swift. Wodn't have time for that. Joe Coy

293
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.159
is asking for six twenty ounce hydration water bottles. Essensia

294
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.519
can be a substitute Alisa Dieke would like two Celsius

295
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.759
Energy d Inks orange please, and six bottles of Mountain

296
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:07.080
Valley Spring Waters not sparkling. Hannibal Burrs would like kind

297
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.000
bars two of those. And our last writer is from

298
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.200
Tom Sigura, who, according to assistants versus agents, would like

299
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.720

00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.279
Go Marco macro bars, berry or lemon flavor preferred, and

00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:44.399
are six sparkling waters, Popochico lime or grapefruit please.

307
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:45.399
Can you mention?

308
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.519
Rob Anderson has his debut special. It's out on YouTube today.

309
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.120
It's called Are You Afraid of the Nineties. We are

310
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.480
told that Rob Anderson is known online as the King

311
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.039
of Nostalgia and has built up a cult following through

312
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.960
his celebrating and roasting of the most chaotic retro pop

313
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.320
culture moments taped during a sold out show in Vancouver.

314
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.720
The special revisits the movies, television and pop culture moments

315
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.559
that shaped the generation and Bill Cosby in the news.

316
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.519
An LA County Superior Court judge has denied Bill Cosby's

317
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.799
request for a new trial after Drury recently found Bill

318
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.399
Cosby was liable for nineteen million dollars in damages for

319
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.159
a civil sex assault case. Judge Bradley S. Phillips ruled

320
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.360
on Friday that Bill Cosby did not prove there was

321
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.200
any irregularity in the court proceedings that would have presented

322
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.240
Bill Cosby from getting a fair trial, and the damages

323
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.320
awarded to his accuser were not excessive. In March, a

324
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.360
woman was awarded nineteen point two five million dollars in

325
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.480
damages after she sued Bill Cosby in twenty twenty three,

326
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.320
alleging that Cosby had drugged and sexually assaulted her in

327
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.440
nineteen seventy two after escorting her to one of his shows.

328
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:50.919
Someday on this program, after the death of Bill Cosby,

329
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.919
I'm going to tell you a story all this month.

330
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:58.080
It's June. We're asking you we Who's we? John? Who's WII? I?

331
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.120
Don't know me. I I Hey, I'm asking you to

332
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.879
share the show. That's what we're doing this June. So

333
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.720
if you like the show, you're gonna go, Hey, buddy,

334
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.240
there's this podcaster. I kind of like him. He's weird,

335
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:10.160
but you'll dig it. It's called Daily Comedy News. And

336
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.000
I don't know what you do then, I don't know.

337
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.039
You grab the guy's phone and you download the show,

338
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.079
or or you're send him a picture. I don't know

339
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.079
what you do. You figure that part out? Who is

340
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:19.880
my dog barking at? Did Amazon?

341
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:20.200
Come?

342
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.599
I bet Amazon come? Can you hear the dog on

343
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.599
the microphone? You might not be able to, but boy,

344
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.640
I can hear the dog.

345
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:26.160
Dog.

346
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.079
I'm trying to tell the people to share the show,

347
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:30.640
and now they're all distracted because this is a dog

348
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.839
barking and I'm distracted. All right, just share the show.

349
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.279
That's what we're doing. Don't forget to follow the show

350
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.599
on Spotify. I've actually turned on the comments now, so

351
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.160
instead of me telling you, hey, what do you comment

352
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.680
and you're like, hey, idiot, the comments are off, you

353
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.559
can actually comment now. Thank you Justin for pointing that out.

354
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:50.200
At three forty two am in the morning and I

355
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.759
think that's it. Oh Nick, Tonight, Go Nix go. The

356
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.359
New York Nicks are in the finals. If you're looking

357
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.640
for me at a thirty pm Eastern time, I will

358
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.000
be in the comfy cheer Go Nix. See you tomorrow
