00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.679
Hello, Johnny Mack, I am psych for today's show. We

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.839
had a couple of big surprise appearances on late night,

4
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.519
and I can't wait to tell you about story number two. Well,

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.000
let's start with the Daily Show. A surprise guest walked on,

6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.039
got a big I mean big ovation, and here's a clip.

7
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.760
I've clipped it down for pacing, but you'll recognize this voice.

8
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.439
That young John Oliver. Can you here to offer America

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.000
your wisdom and council? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, John,

10
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.799
I'm here to gloat. Had it's little fun, didn't you

11
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.600
experimenting with democracy? You fought so hot to get a wife,

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.840
was acting up, throwing all that tea into the harbor.

13
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.439
You still owe us for that. By the way, you

14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.200
told everybody that you were going to be different, you

15
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.079
were gonna turn out. Look, you mean old dad, who's

16
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.600
so horrible to you when you were growing up, So

17
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.399
we saw back. Well, let you spend your wild teen

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:08.280
years experimenting with your ridiculous ideas of checks and balances,

19
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.760
because deep down we knew that once you've got that

20
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.640
nonsense out of your system, you'd be backed. In fact,

21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:22.400
if I may sing from Hamilton. I'd really, I'd appreciate.

22
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.120
Not that's fair. What I'm saying is, let me be

23
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.120
the first to welcome America to its monarchy era. Congratulations everyone,

24
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.879
you can now take your place in the pantheon of

25
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.959
great empires alongside the British, the Roman, the Klingon, Wakanga

26
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.280
whatever one. Babar the Elephants was the ruler of if against.

27
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.200
Everyone on to say, don't fight being a monarchy, embrace it.

28
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.920
Kings get stuff done? Is it stuff you want done?

29
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.959
Not necessarily, but they do move quick. They taste cooming

30
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.560
at lunch and take over an entire continent by dinner time.

31
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.319
That's how the British rule for everyone else there not

32
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.439
like us. I see what you did there, country that

33
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.120
doesn't want to be an empire, You're doing a pretty

34
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.879
effing good impression right now. Invasions, economic exploitations, and now

35
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.960
suggesting turning Goss into a beachfront casino. Even King George

36
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.639
would have been like, I don't know, guys, feel like

37
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.840
the situation is a little bit more complicated than that,

38
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.840
and I'm literally dying of medieval breen disease. Meanwhile, on

39
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.439
The Tonight Show, with Jimmy Fallon. David Letterman showed up

40
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.560
and was the David Letterman that I'm a fan of.

41
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:32.039
This was Dave deconstructing loose like classic Dave, even though

42
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.280
despite the gray hair and the beard, reminded me of

43
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.639
NBC Dave more than CBS Dave. I've clipped this down.

44
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.000
A lot of it is visual, especially at the end

45
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.919
they start throwing stuff at the stage. You'll hear. There's

46
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.759
also a bit where Fallin asked Dave if he wants

47
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.919
to read any jokes. I've clipped out where Dave flipped

48
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.520
through a whole bunch of Q cards going no, no, no,

49
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.560
no no. But let me give you a taste of this.

50
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.919
This is David Letterman on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

51
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.360
David Letterman, what are you?

52
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:02.599
What are you doing here?

53
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:06.199
Is this the twenty third hour of the Today Show?

54
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.639
No, no, no, this this is this is the Tonight Show.

55
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.840
Jimmy, yeah, my, Paul, what are you doing here?

56
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.120
You know it's a funny story.

57
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.560
How you've ever taken too much ambient and you know

58
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.840
you wake up somewhere with no clue how the hell

59
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.039
you got there? Wow, you've been reading my diary. Listen,

60
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.520
Paul and I Right, Paul used to do a show.

61
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.479
Sure did pretty much exactly like this. Yes, yeah, wait,

62
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.360
we didn't do the Chuck E cheese crap, but we.

63
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.080
Thought there was something.

64
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:41.159
It's very similar.

65
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.560
Since this is your here, would you like to tell

66
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:44.120
some jokes?

67
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.120
Oh, I'm good. Thanks, all right, that's in see.

68
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.680
You, Dave.

69
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.039
What are you doing now that you're retired?

70
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:57.800
Oh?

71
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:05.159
Like, I need to tell you TikTok wite an enormous

72
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:06.439
deal with the Chinese government.

73
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.039
Yeah, how about we make a viral video right now?

74
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.479
Oh my god, I'm dreaming. Yes, let's do this. Can

75
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:13.080
you help us out?

76
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.840
Oh? This would be great, a viral video. Yes, there's

77
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.519
a viral video, exciting vertically.

78
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.439
Okay, what good?

79
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:22.839
All right?

80
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.720
But what I would really like to do is hit

81
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.040
you in the face with a tortilla.

82
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.000
Yeah you know.

83
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.920
Now wait a minute, I don't.

84
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.879
I'm not promoting violent No, it's a TikTok that and

85
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.240
typically I travel with tortillas.

86
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.240
Uh not tonight.

87
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.240
I left him in the corn. Anybody, do we have

88
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.360
anybody here with anybody have a tortilla?

89
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:48.759
Do we have it?

90
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:54.319
Okay, I'll get one.

91
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.000
You want to say that one's.

92
00:04:58.959 --> 00:04:59.800
Thank you very much.

93
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.959
Interesting one from The Campus Times, which is the University

94
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.519
of Rochester's student newspaper. A student went to see a

95
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.519
show and wrote, Michael Chase Winterfest set welcomes lackluster comedy

96
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.079
and announces his exit from SNL. Now let's tap the

97
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.560
brakes there. Chay, pretty much every year announces that he's

98
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.199
leaving SNL. That said, if you're going to leave SNL,

99
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.720
I think this is the year to walk off after

100
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.399
this big fiftieth anniversary thing this weekend and the rest

101
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.360
of the season, I think from here it's diminishing returns

102
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.800
Louren Michael's eighty as he's sticking around, I guess so.

103
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.439
But I could see some massive cast departures after this year.

104
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.920
I because he Bowen walking away.

105
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:39.560
You know.

106
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.560
On the one hand, if you're Jostin Shay, its steady,

107
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.279
works it there for another ten years. But on the

108
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.360
other hand, I could see them going, eh, it's time

109
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.759
to get out anyway. The Campus Times writes chase performance

110
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.000
was part of the big Winterfest weekend, which usually features

111
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.040
a big ticket performer as a featured performer. For this year,

112
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.639
there was an air of uncertainty about chase potential for

113
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.000
stand up comedy, since many a t had only seen

114
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.079
him on SNL. Still, as it was the big ticket performer,

115
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.480
the first floor was nearly filled with people. Does that

116
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.639
suggests there's a second floor that's empty and the first

117
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.120
floor was nearly filled? Yikes? I feel like the writer

118
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.759
here is inexperienced in comedy and means well next paragraph.

119
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.839
The event was slated to start around eight, but Chase

120
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.199
set foot on stage about ten minutes after the start time. Okay,

121
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.240
I mean that's not crazy. Have you been to a

122
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.920
live show? So he walked on what eight O nine,

123
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.959
eight eleven, it's okay? Jay began by talking about how

124
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.680
he wasn't used to doing stand up performances before starting

125
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.399
by making jokes about Rochester. He seemed at first to

126
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.839
be well received by the audience. The student right says,

127
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.279
I experienced his work live. I thought the performance was

128
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.720
relatively stereotypical in terms of subject matter topics running the

129
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.519
local environment, jabs at racism, hammed up personal experiences, cultural references,

130
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.040
sex jokes, and more. He seemed to have prepared a

131
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.519
few jokes, but around the middle of his set, his

132
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.639
jokes seemed to lose direction. Chase seemed to fill the

133
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.240
crowd silence with awkward laughs and rambled as a replacement

134
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.120
for unwritten ja ooakes. Sounds to me like Chay used

135
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.600
this as half a workout in a half empty room.

136
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.439
None of this is crazy to me, Campus Times continues.

137
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.959
At the beginning of the night, Chay mentioned that he

138
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.439
was sober, but by the end of the night he

139
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.439
reminded me of a rambling drunk, mumbling under his breath

140
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.199
and laughing to himself. Notably, Chay mentioned that he may

141
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.199
be leaving SNL. He had been considering leaving for several seasons,

142
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.079
but only publicly and definitively brought it up during the performance,

143
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.399
quoting Chay here, and we'll see if this gets media

144
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.000
pick up. This is my last season. I'm not coming back.

145
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.720
Don't worry. I'm done. It's over for me. It's been

146
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.319
so much fun. It's a little emotional. It's bittersweet. We learned.

147
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.160
The night was supposed to end at nine, but Chay

148
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.120
extended his stay for another twenty five minutes, talking to

149
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.480
the audience and going off on small tangents. But the

150
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.399
Campus Times writes, instead of being captivating, chase performance held

151
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.279
the concert hall captive as the whole emptied out. I

152
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.560
overheard shatter of how the end felt like Chay was

153
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.879
just running out the clock. While the set wasn't the

154
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.480
worst comedy I'd ever seen, in retrospect, it lacked of

155
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.560
uniqueness and dragged at the end unnecessarily. To me, it

156
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.879
sounds like Chay just was throwing, you know, three qu

157
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.199
order his heat in a not full room. Not crazy

158
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.519
to me? Will he actually leave SNL? Who knows? Amy

159
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.920
Schumer was on Bravo and had advice for Conan O'Brien

160
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.519
hosting the Oscars. Schumer said, my advice to him would

161
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.439
be to make sure there's no beef beforehand with people

162
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.680
like Chris Rock and Will Smith. Just maybe check that out.

163
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.879
That's the advice I wish I was given. And then

164
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:21.920
as I read that, so the first time I saw

165
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.959
the headline, my brain translated Amy into Amy Poehler, thinking,

166
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.120
Amy Pohlers out there, they're doing press, and you know,

167
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.680
she went on Bravo to promo on her podcast, and

168
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.399
then I was like, oh wait, this is Amy Schumer,

169
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.679
and then my brain really went, oh my goodness. Amy

170
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.960
Schumer hosted the Oscars like that's a thing that happened.

171
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.159
If I walked up to you today in twenty twenty

172
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.039
five and said, hey, you know who's hosting the Oscars,

173
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.720
Amy Schumer, wouldn't you look at me like I'm insane? Boy?

174
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.360
She has really fallen off a cliff, Like there's no

175
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.200
way in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six, Amy Schumer's

176
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.840
hosting the Oscars, No way, It's totally forgot that that happened.

177
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:56.919
I mean, you think of that night. You almost picture

178
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.600
Chris Rock hosting the night, because you know, that was

179
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.519
the big story in twenty twenty two. That was the

180
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.960
year Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes were the

181
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.440
hosts of the Oscars. Slash Film reports that Amy Schumer's

182
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.399
new comedy is number one on Netflix. Schumer number one

183
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.320
in forty eight countries, including the United States. Slash Film says,

184
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.480
in fact, in those forty eight countries, Kind of Pregnant

185
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.759
has been number one since its debut in thirty three

186
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.559
of them. As of Monday, kind of Pregnant was charting

187
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.080
in ninety two countries, well only Vietnam. Refusing to indulge

188
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.799
Schumer's comedy stylings, well oh, the Vietnamese did watch enough

189
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.919
to send it to the number eight spot for a

190
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.399
little bit. Kind of Pregnant is currently number two in

191
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:40.080
a further twenty four countries. Congratulations, Amy Schumer'd say, I've

192
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.519
got a story here about Pete Davidson and tattoos. Will

193
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.919
pump that to tomorrow. There's a lot of felipe as

194
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:47.799
spar as the stuff too. Let me hold on to

195
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.200
that because I want to dive in on this and

196
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.840
I think this might take a minute. Peter Kay, UK comedian,

197
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.279
seems to be embroiled in a little kerf fluffle, so

198
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.879
the Sun newspaper reports Peter's doing a show. He's repeatedly

199
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.399
interrupted by a heckler screaming out garlic bread, apparently one

200
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.720
of Peter Kay's catchphrases. Peter responds to the heckler, garlic bread,

201
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.960
kick him in the effing face? Will ya? Everyone around

202
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.080
you was thinking, jerky face cleaning that up. Peter then

203
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.799
demands a light to be put on the heckler, according

204
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.240
to the Sun newspaper, and points him out to security

205
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:21.000
guard Keith, declaring, give us a wave. Jerk face cleaning

206
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.919
it up again? Look at him? He doesn't know where

207
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.120
he is, and then leads a chant of your going out.

208
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.759
Peter encourages people to film the person and then calls

209
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.159
him garlic dead. Peter continues, he's not laughing now, is he.

210
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.840
At that point, a woman from the other side of

211
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.480
the arena starts yelling, prompting Peter to say, Christ Almighty,

212
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.840
bloody hell, I love. Saturday's all right, love, we heard

213
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.720
you take her out and all, and points her out

214
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.000
to the security guard as quote the woman in the

215
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.519
black and white top from Debenham's Blue Cross. The Sun

216
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.799
reports that at that point the audience stopped laughing. I'm

217
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.000
not sure what that reference means. I tried googling it

218
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.360
can't figure it out. I'm a dumb American. If you

219
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.559
know what that means, my email is in the show

220
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.399
notes or hit me up on the Facebook group. Would

221
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.639
love to know what the reference from Debenham's Blue Cross means.

222
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.080
It seems to be some sort of store. Anyway, the

223
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.840
audience stops laughing. Peter says, you're going to Flower now

224
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.039
and all. You've upset every bugger out there. Go on

225
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.879
on out, you pop. You've missed the ending and everything.

226
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.919
What a shame, you effing big gob drinking de icer

227
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.399
go on Lisa Riley f off. The woman appeared confused.

228
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.399
Peter k tells the crowd to cheer if she was

229
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.480
effing annoying, before telling the woman no refunds as she

230
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.200
was ejected. So the Lisa Riley reference. Lisa is an

231
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.879
English actress, comedian and TV presenter, best known for portraying

232
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.879
the role of Mandy Dingle on the ITV soap opera Emmerdale.

233
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.840
Lisa Riley responded to the joke. Riley posted on Instagram

234
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.080
a photo of herself that says, keep calm and laugh

235
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.919
It's funny. In a follow up post on Tuesday, she

236
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.320
told her followers she was not offended, saying she loves

237
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.360
Peter kay To Pieces. Please draw a line under this now.

238
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.519
I'm not offended, never was offended. I love Peter kay

239
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.279
to Piece's laughter is my favorite. Man Edison the Woman

240
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.960
the second Heckler, twenty five year old Meyer told the

241
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.600
Manchester Evening News, I do feel he was on about

242
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.559
my weight. I know Lisa Riley has lost a lot

243
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.039
of weight and she looks great, but she used to

244
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.000
be a bit bigger. I didn't used to be this big,

245
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.480
and I've put on a bit of weight on. I've

246
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.799
had a child. I'm self conscious about that, so to

247
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.120
go to a show and feel like you're having the

248
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.840
mick taken out of you because of your weight, I

249
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:22.000
was just a bit shocked. I'm annoyed and upset about it.

250
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.480
The whole arena was laughing. I think they thought it

251
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.480
was part of the show, but there was a nastiness

252
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.000
to his voice. It was like he was trying to

253
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.840
get the crowd against me. It just wasn't nice, to

254
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:31.879
be honest. I did have a cry about it after

255
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.960
I got to the hotel room. I was just so upset.

256
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.679
It was just a very rubbish situation. My whole family

257
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.120
was disgusted by it. On Tuesday, Peter released a statement

258
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.440
to Good Morning Britain. The statement read, she did look

259
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.480
remarkably like Lisa Riley. I didn't realize that was an insult.

260
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.879
There comes a point when dealing with repeated heckler simply

261
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.159
isn't enough. It's not something you ever want to do,

262
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.120
but becomes a point where it's no longer fair to

263
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.039
everyone around. An audience member said the audience was mixed.

264
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.559
Some couldn't believe it, and we're obviously annoyed. Others were laughing,

265
00:12:58.600 --> 00:12:59.919
either thinking it was part of the show or going

266
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.519
along with it. It was out of order and he

267
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:04.320
was clearly annoyed at something. There was no need to

268
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.000
escalate the situation of that extreme. Another attendee on Twitter

269
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:09.759
said I lost a lot of respect for Peter Ka

270
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.039
after the way he treated the heckler. No manners, a

271
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.480
huge waste of money. Another fan said Kay killed the

272
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.039
atmosphere in the arena. Peter Phillips, the first heckler, was

273
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.759
evicted alongside his son after shouting garlic bread. Peters told

274
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.159
Male Online it was me who shouted out garlic bread.

275
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.000
A lot of people just stood up and walked out

276
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.240
when they saw how we were dragged out. The first

277
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.879
half of the show, I shouted out garlic bread and

278
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.159
they zoomed in on the camera on me, and I

279
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.840
put my thumbs up and thought everything was okay. I

280
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.039
got no warning or anything. People around us were laughing

281
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.120
and joking. Then the second half of the show, I

282
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.080
said it again, garlic bread, and that's when the security

283
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.559
guards came over to me and said, you're gonna have

284
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.960
to leave. Peter Kay doesn't like people shouting out yet, dude,

285
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.159
you're not part of the show. Just watch the show.

286
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.000
You're not part of it. I said, you're joking, as

287
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.559
I thought they were gonna warn me off, but they

288
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.240
stood me up brought me to the stairs, which were

289
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.639
dead steep. I have massive bruises in my leg. I

290
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:57.480
haven't been able to walk properly at work today. My

291
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.559
arms are covered in bruises. Apparently some state and police

292
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.399
officers spoke to the heckler. I said to the officers,

293
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.279
We've just been thrown out brutally, and all I've done

294
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.320
is shout out garlic bread. If we'd done anything wrong,

295
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.399
the police would have arrested us. I just can't understand it.

296
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.480
All I said was garlic bread. That's my favorite joke

297
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.200
of his. I've loved Peter k forever. I've watched him

298
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.159
on car Share, I watch him on TikTok all the time,

299
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:17.919
and I've always wanted to see him live. I loved

300
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.120
watching him. People came up to us when we were

301
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.600
outside and sat on the steps, saying they left because

302
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.080
of that. I'm absolutely disgusted for comedian not even give

303
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.159
us a warning or bit of banter back. I never

304
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.159
said anything abruptly and when I did shout it out,

305
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.879
I waited until he stopped talking, not in the middle

306
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.000
of his joke or anything. There were so many thousands

307
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.320
of people in there, we were getting pinned to the

308
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.720
floor like rag dolls, throwing us around like pieces of meat.

309
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.799
As my friends said today, they're not a good comedian

310
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:40.679
if they can't handle a bit of banter or shut

311
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.120
someone down with a one liner. Dude, it's a comedy show.

312
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.840
Just go to the show and watch the comedian perform.

313
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.159
You're not part of the show. Some audience members agree.

314
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.759
One told The Mail Online the guy he chucked out

315
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.039
absolutely deserved it. He continued to make a nuisance of

316
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.159
himself as the show went on. For those of us

317
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.320
who sat beside him. He ruined the gig, as for

318
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.639
the lady who a few seats behind, and the people

319
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.600
she sat next, who also commented that she'd be in

320
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.840
a huge pain and was disrupting the show for others.

321
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.320
I'm glad Peter took a stand and removed them, as

322
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.000
the show is being spoiled for a lot of people,

323
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.840
And if people were so offended at the heckler's being

324
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.480
chucked out, wat did the crowd near them cheer loudly

325
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.879
when they were removed another audience member. We all clapped

326
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:19.279
when he got rid of them, and Peter, in his

327
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:21.480
own manner, dealt with it very well. I thought he

328
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.360
gave us what he wanted. It's what we all waited

329
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:24.200
over two years for.

330
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:25.639
All right.

331
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.000
In other news, Vulture has a long article on Lorden

332
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.879
Michael's I read it. I don't have anything to say

333
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:31.399
about it, but I did share it in the Facebook

334
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.360
group Daily Comedy News podcast group. On Monday, NBC announced

335
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.240
a lineup of former cast members who will be on

336
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.960
the special on Sunday Night. Those include Eddie Murphy, Tina

337
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.200
fe Seth Myers, Will Ferrell, Andy Samberg, and Adam Sandler.

338
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:47.159
Also returning Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, Geene Curtin, and Loraine Newman.

339
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.600
On Gossip Corner, Bill Belichick's girlfriend hung out with Nicki

340
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.320
Glazer at the Super Bowl. Just some pictures, no news

341
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:57.080
story there. On page six, Shaq wants the next roast

342
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.360
to be about him. He says, because I don't get

343
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.720
sensitive and that girl that killed Tom Brady, I want her.

344
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.679
What's her name? Her name is Nicki Glazer? Nicki, you

345
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.440
can say whatever you want about me, my mom and

346
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.639
my kids. Let's do it. Yeah, because I don't get sensitive.

347
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.200
I like to laugh. I think Tom got a little

348
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.000
offended with some of the jokes, but I can take

349
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.080
it all. Are you a fan of Green Day? While

350
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.679
they're making a new comedy movie inspired by their early

351
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.039
days touring before Dukie became a hit. The film is

352
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.559
currently in production in Oklahoma. South By Southwest previews some

353
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:31.039
of their comedy stuff that includes Scott Ackerman's comedy Bang

354
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.279
Bang Live podcast. I understand if that's super popular in

355
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.519
my comedy career. It's the only show that I've ever

356
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.200
walked out of because I was bored. I was there

357
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.600
with Mark, my host, and we were in Chicago, and

358
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.600
we were staring at each other and we're like, are

359
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.080
we gonna actually leave a show? Because we don't leave shows.

360
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.159
We actually and we were like, there's just not enough time.

361
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.720
It's just it was bad. I got people like it, obviously,

362
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.399
I'm not a fan. James Adomian, We'll play Elon Musk

363
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.320
in a show quote unquote. Elon kicks off this year's

364
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.320
Comedy Festival, joined by his most trusted advisors to share

365
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.519
his plans for the future of douge, social networking, and

366
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.920
whatever else you can think of. The south By Southwest

367
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.279
Press release goes out of its way to say Elon

368
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.599
Musk again, definitely not the real Elon. There's also a

369
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.119
spotlight on LA Comedy. They're going to celebrate the fiftieth

370
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.839
anniversary of the Hollywood Improv. Interesting choice of comediing here

371
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:24.720
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of LA's legendary Hollywood Improv returning

372
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.960
to the festival with snl Alum, Melissa via Signor and

373
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.200
other club favorites. I'm not sure Melissa's the first one

374
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.000
I think of when I think of as improv, but

375
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.559
who knows. The Allsioned Theater, the center of LA's bursioning

376
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:39.599
clown movement, is bringing their flavor of experimental, outrageous performances

377
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:42.680
to the Comedy Fest, and south By encourages you to

378
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:46.799
donate to the World Central Kitchens relief efforts. Definitely a

379
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:48.599
good cause there that I've talked about a few times

380
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.359
on my other podcast, Five Good News Stories, where three

381
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.680
times a week Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, I tell you

382
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.920
five news stories which are all good news. If you

383
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.680
want to check that one out, So I am familiar

384
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.799
with what the world Central Kitchen has been up to.

385
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.200
All right, that is your comedy news for today. Bounced

386
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.000
a couple of stories, but better that than, like you know,

387
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:06.480
earlier in the week. It was a little thin, so

388
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.599
nice to have a good, robust episode. We'll see you tomorrow.
