00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.160
Callaroga shark media heavy Thanksgiving.
2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.679
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Jonathan Kite
3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:19.199
has been doing these impressions of Anthony Bourdaine. He posted
4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.719
them on threads at Jonathan Kite. He goes to actual locations,
5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.399
he dresses up like Boardane. He does a great Boordaine impression.
6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.280
He's got the body type to pull it off too.
7
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:29.960
I was watching this one that I'm about to play
8
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.640
for you, and I was like, even if I did
9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.679
a great Boardine, I don't have the right body type
10
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.799
at all. I could never pull off toll and Lean.
11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.640
But Jonathan Kite has this thing down. I'm gonna go
12
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:41.840
a little longer with this one than I normally do
13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.159
because it is Thanksgiving themed, and you know Kite's putting
14
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.840
He's up on social media, so I don't think he's
15
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.840
really trying to monetize them. I come in peace, really
16
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.960
like your work. But here's Jonathan Kite as Anthony Bourdain.
17
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.600
Welcome to America's Endless Harvest and the Feast of all
18
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.600
you can eat Golden Corral, where Pilgrim's progress meets the
19
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.959
Age of consumption. Because here Thanksgiving isn't a holiday. It's
20
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.760
a lifestyle, a face style. So buckle up, throw on
21
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:13.319
your stretchy pants. This is manifest destiny. It's the United
22
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.719
Plates of America, and at sixteen ninety nine ahead you
23
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.040
get liberal portions at conservative prices. As is tradition, we
24
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.879
begin with the bird, our annual sacrifice. The golden butter
25
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.159
soap turkey glistens under heat lamps that could tan a corpse,
26
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.560
and like Travis Kelcey's dating history, you can enjoy both
27
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.239
white and dark meat. The first Thanksgiving was a fragile
28
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.560
truce between worlds to survive the Hunger Games of sixteen
29
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.400
twenty one. Today we gather with loved ones just trying
30
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.480
to survive each other. Left wing, right wing. It's all
31
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.239
the same bird.
32
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.200
Absolutely fantastic. Jonathan Kite is his name, Give him a follow.
33
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.040
Sebastian Manuscalco, he spoke with us weekly. He had a
34
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.200
cooking show, remember that it was called Well Done with
35
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.560
Sebastian manusuks Alco on Food Network. And now in hindsight,
36
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.200
I'm realizing I didn't make nearly as much fun of
37
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.000
that as I should have. I should almost go back.
38
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.280
If we ever have another pandemic and I need a
39
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.759
bit like George Lopez Tacos. Maybe I'll just critique well
40
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.800
done with Sebastian Manascalco on Food Network. But hopefully we
41
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.759
won't have another pandemic and I won't have to do that.
42
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.400
But as you know, it's this is a food story
43
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.280
and it's Thanksgiving. I do put these shows together. A
44
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.159
Sebastian said, I became passionate about cooking around the time
45
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.400
I met my wife. I like cooking because it's similar
46
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.159
to comedy and that you're doing it alone and making
47
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.080
stupid faces for no reason. If it sucks, it's your fault.
48
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.280
If it's great, it's your fault. Same thing with stand up.
49
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.039
It's very therapeutic for me to go into the kitchen
50
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.120
and get lost in the sauce. I do a beautiful
51
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.360
French toast. The next thing I want to master is pizza.
52
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.120
Switching to comedy. You have to live in everyday life
53
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.919
to extract humor, and that's why I'm an active parent.
54
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.360
I drop my kids off at school, I go to
55
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.560
the soccer games. I'm taking my kid to gymnastics. You
56
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.759
find a lot of humor in those things. You do
57
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.879
have to be cautious about talking about some of the
58
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.919
fancy things you do. I went to the Oscars, but
59
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.759
my Oscar story is not one of fame and fortune.
60
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.879
It's me sitting up at the third balcony while everybody
61
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.439
from Greenbrook is accepting the Oscar. When I was announced
62
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.199
on the red carpet, it was a bathroom break for
63
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.479
the photographers. They were cleaning their lenses. Ryan Seacrest was
64
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.280
there with his camera guy in lights on a pedestal,
65
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.319
and they take me all the way down to the
66
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.120
guy who's a one man shop with his iPhone and
67
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.360
is from the Ecuador Times. So four dot com spoke
68
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.080
to Fortune Femmester about taking care of Biscuits. That's the
69
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.199
name of her tour. She said it came to me
70
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.919
as something that lets people know they're in for a good,
71
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.400
silly time. She said, Now, at all the cities I
72
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.639
go to, people are dropping biscuits off, and I'm grateful,
73
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.199
but I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have to name my
74
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.280
next tour taking care of Salads, because it's a lot
75
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.879
of biscuits right now. One Instagram video showed Fortune in
76
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.879
her green room. The room was filled with biscuits from
77
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.960
heart Ease Biscuit shaped pillows custom merch. She said that
78
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.199
was all a surprise. My writer is so boring. I
79
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.599
literally asked for water, ice and a cup. I used
80
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.439
to have big, extravagant green rooms, but then I was
81
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.919
never hungry, and I felt like I was being super
82
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.199
wasteful because normally I either eat before or after. The
83
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.919
show asked for her biscuit preferences. Her favorites are a loaded, savory,
84
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.159
yummy biscuit with fried chicken, pimento cheese, and a little honey,
85
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.280
or just the opposite, just a jelly biscuit. I'm trash,
86
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.400
so I love grape jelly. If Fortune Feamster could only
87
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.000
eat one thing twenty four seven three sixty five, it
88
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.960
would be pad thaie. She says, I went to Thailand
89
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.399
and ate pad tie for a week and a half
90
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.879
straight and did not get tired of it. I love
91
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.399
it so much, I think I could do it. I
92
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.560
could just eating it forever. I usually get it with chicken,
93
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:23.879
but if I were gonna eat it every day, I'd
94
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.680
try to switch it up, try some shrimp or tofu
95
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.279
or bounce back and forth. All right, Fortune was the
96
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.920
first thing you learned how to cook grilled cheese. But
97
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.800
I learned by doing it wrong. I was babysitting and
98
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.519
the kid won a grilled cheese to turn the oven on.
99
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.120
And he was like, why are you turning the oven on?
100
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.759
And I said, I don't know baking it. He told
101
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.360
me just throw in a pan or the toaster oven.
102
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.519
It was too much for me. You don't need to
103
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.240
go throw that for a grilled cheese. But he was right.
104
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.160
I was pretty old to learn that. Like sixteen more
105
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.199
food stories from Fortune. It's Thanksgiving, you know, she said.
106
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.920
Grilling is brand new for me. I never had a
107
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.519
grill until I got this house, and it came with
108
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.079
a grill, and I was determined to learn how to
109
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.199
use it. Getting beef to the right temperature is the
110
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.079
trickiest part. You don't want it to be too rare
111
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.560
or red or too cooked and dry. I'm learning the
112
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.040
happy medium there. And there's an editor's note pun intended.
113
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.360
Fortune told Savor I'm a dessert gal. I have such
114
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.600
a sweet tooth. I'm near a cheesecake factory. I will
115
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.399
hit up that Adam's peanut buttercup fudge rippled cheesecake. That's
116
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.040
a real treat. Any foods from your childhood that you
117
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.079
liked Grandma's chicken and dumplings, so comforting and classic. Biggest
118
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.160
flex to impress guests. Fortune said, I love some good
119
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.879
scented candles. They're inviting warm then all you eat is
120
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.839
good food. I don't have a signature scent yet, but
121
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.000
I love holiday candles all the time, so we're getting
122
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.759
closed to the holidays. I'm pumped because the ones that
123
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.079
I love smell like Christmas trees. Jim Gaffigan spoke to
124
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.000
The Today Show. They were curious how Jim's wife and
125
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.319
kids feel about being in his comedy. Jim joked, I
126
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.600
don't care. Then he got a little more serious and said,
127
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.160
the good news is that my children all the things
128
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:46.800
I say, I don't have to feel guilty because they
129
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.040
have no interest in my comedy. I'm more concerned about
130
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.079
accidentally posting a photo where they appear in it on
131
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.839
Instagram than me saying something in my stand up. Obviously,
132
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.480
I try to be respectful, and I think anyone who's
133
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.879
apparent is aware. We've all made mistakes. But parenting is
134
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.279
you try your best and then as a parent, become
135
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.519
their septacle for all the blame. Kathleen Madigan spoke to
136
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.120
the La Times about her family and the stuff they
137
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.560
bring over. She's proud of the chicken salad or stuff
138
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.839
they bring over like tunicast roles, and they're very into
139
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.800
hardy grandma type food, meaning fattening, which I'm all in on.
140
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.920
She talked about a Midwestern sensibility and said everybody's got
141
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.759
their little things, like I would have a big fight
142
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.399
about their corn being better than anyone else's stupid stuff.
143
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.560
But to us, it's what's happening. It's what we're talking
144
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.240
about sports. Everybody's got their thing with the packers and
145
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.360
that kind of stuff, but it's not anything we were given,
146
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.920
like the ocean, the mounts of Colorado. Don't know, we
147
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.920
don't have that either. That's why when people say, oh,
148
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.319
do you like where you're from, or always like, yeah,
149
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.839
it's fine. We know it's not great, but it's not horrible.
150
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.680
It's fine. I love when people say Saint Louis is
151
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.920
that kind of by Chicago, well kind of four and
152
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.600
a half hours down the road to find kind of pie.
153
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.040
That's what I say about my coastal friends. It's what
154
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.639
they've been given. I mean, someone made it all the
155
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.399
way out there, so I give those people credit, but
156
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.399
the Midwest is like, you're gonna get bored driving around Kansas, Nebraska.
157
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.360
At least in Missouri. When you get south of Saint Louis,
158
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.000
we start to get big ills. We called them out,
159
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.079
and it's a hill. We have good lakes. Coastal people
160
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.920
don't like lakes because so like, yeah, that water is
161
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.319
a little still. I'm like, yeah, and there's snakes in
162
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.319
it too. She is hilarious, all right. No amount of
163
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.040
food stories. Uh. Stephen Colbiert had spoken to GQ. This
164
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.680
one is a bit of a leftover in the spirit
165
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.879
of Thanksgiving. They were curious, does he think the late
166
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.759
night format makes sense anymore? Do you think the times
167
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:23.480
for these shows has passed? Have you ever felt that
168
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.560
while doing your show, Stephen Colbert, He said, no, not
169
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.279
doing the show. I do the show with gratitude. We
170
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.879
have a really great time. We love doing the show
171
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.879
with each other. We love all pulling on the same rope.
172
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.800
I love being there with those four hundred fifty people
173
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.680
and the Ed Sullivan Theater, in a Broadway theater. We've
174
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.439
done our best to deliver something that the network can
175
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.040
monetize in some way. I thought we were successful at that,
176
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.360
so all things must pass. I think if there's a
177
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.199
business reason for this. I know there's been a change
178
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.000
in ad rates since the strike, and I know that's
179
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.079
really never recovered for that, so all that makes sense
180
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.560
to me. And I also know that these late night
181
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.360
shows are kind of like symphony orchestras. They need a
182
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.519
certain amount of personnel to do them. You can't relate
183
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.319
to a show and the Ed Sullivan Theatre eleven thirty
184
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.240
five on CBS with a band and sketches and field
185
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.399
shooths and stuff like that for the cost of a podcast.
186
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.480
And if you look and say, oh, well look, this
187
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.199
is what a podcast makes, and this is what these
188
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.199
shows make, then you're keeping these shows on because you'll
189
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.720
love the form. Why would shows like mine continue and
190
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.240
exist or Kimmel or Jimmy or whatever. Well, we're like
191
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.519
your friend who at the end of the day paid
192
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.560
attention to what happened today more than you did, and
193
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.000
we curate that back to you at the end of
194
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.199
the day. But it's really more about how we feel
195
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.040
about or I as the person who's the vehicle for that,
196
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.639
how we felt about it today. Boy, that speaks to
197
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.360
me as someone who does this show, Like, presumably at
198
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.800
some level you just kind of enjoy my voice and vibe, right, Like,
199
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.399
I don't think you're like this is the only place
200
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.519
I can get comedy news. But you know, we have
201
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.879
this relationship, you and I. You listener, me host, and yeah,
202
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.759
I feel what's Stephen selling here? He says. I share
203
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.519
those feelings with the audience, and they laugh or they
204
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.159
don't laugh, and there's a sense of community there. Quick
205
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.639
time out, it's a holiday, We've got time. I was
206
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.679
teaching my class one week ago today, and I was
207
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.279
teaching the college class about the concept of tribes and
208
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.799
building community around shows. And I started to explain to
209
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.159
the class how I almost always refer to one comedian
210
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.240
as dramatic actor Adam Sandler. You're in on the bit,
211
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.000
I'm in on the bit, and always saying dramatic actor
212
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:10.120
Adam Sandler reinforces the thought there with me as the
213
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.759
leader lowercase L of this tribe of comedy fans who
214
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.080
have gathered around this podcast and in the Facebook group
215
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.600
Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, please join us anyway. One
216
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.919
of the students starts agreeing with me and goes on
217
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.200
for like seven minutes about Adam Sandler is good in punch,
218
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.000
drunk Glove and in uncut gems. And I just stood
219
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.440
there mugging for the camera, making eye contact with students,
220
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.279
and just gesturing over at the student who just kept
221
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.519
going on and on proving my point of the power
222
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.879
of the tribe and of the community. And I high
223
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.080
five the student. I was like, you just proved my point.
224
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.960
So I get what Colbert is selling here. He says,
225
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.360
there's a sense of community and there are fewer, fewer.
226
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:51.759
I don't know who coined this term, but there are
227
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.879
fewer and few of what you would call third spaces
228
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.480
in our life. Have you heard this term three spaces?
229
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.679
This is John talking. My daughter taught me about the
230
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.519
sea off home, work, and then somewhere else you go.
231
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.559
For me, it's the brewery on trivia night, where I
232
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.360
see my friends every now and then. I'm tired. A
233
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.120
couple weeks ago, the night we want Actually, I was
234
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.919
kind of tired and I said to my wife, I go,
235
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.240
I have to show up or I won't have friends anymore.
236
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.080
I need to be with the guys. So that's my
237
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.440
third space. Colbert says, we need third spaces in our life,
238
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:19.840
not your home, not your work, but some other place
239
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.840
we get together, and these late night shows are for
