Comedy Ratings, Kyle Kinane’s Phish Weekend, and Colbert’s Reported CBS Tensions

Johnny Mac’s Daily Comedy News recaps late-night jokes about the war, including Seth Meyers on Mar-a-Lago security and Stephen Colbert’s “Epic Fury” anagram. He cites Deadline streaming numbers: Katt Williams’ latest Netflix special drew 7.1M first-week views; Dave Chappelle’s Sticks & Stones leads Netflix US debuts, while Shane Gillis’ Live in Austin tops on YouTube; he also notes Amazon and Hulu special performance and how platforms count views differently. Kyle Kinane describes doing comedy during Phish’s Cancun takeover and his outlook on “micro happiness” and the difference between fame and success. Johnny mentions Vulture’s profile of Chris Fleming and People’s interview with Nate Bargatze denying he’s quitting standup. He summarizes a New York Times piece on arena comic Max Amini’s crowd-work-driven, globally accessible shows and ends with Comedy Survivor voting, Radar Online’s report on Colbert’s ratings and workplace tensions, Jimmy Carr’s renewed Am I the A-Hole, Trump attending the White House Correspondents’ dinner hosted by mentalist Oz Pearlman, and Johnny criticizing an unpolished Jim Gaffigan clip.

00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.599
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy hews,

3
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:15.199
A daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.760
comedy industry. A sentence the algorithm loves. On Late Night,

5
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.839
they were talking about the war. Did you see the

6
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:22.920
President was running the war out of mart Lago over

7
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.399
the weekend? Because you know, why would you run it

8
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.519
out of the White House? Seth Myers said, I had

9
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.480
a more secure room when I was trying on jeans

10
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.160
at Old Navy. You started a war in the Middle

11
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.960
East and you didn't even go to the office. You're

12
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.799
gonna work from home? It How am I going to

13
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:36.679
get my writers to come into work when the President

14
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.399
of the United States treats war like a team's meeting.

15
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.799
Stephen Colbert said, fun fact epic fury is an anagram

16
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.320
for forget Ebstein. An interesting article in Deadline about how

17
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.679
these comedy specials are doing in the ratings. They say

18
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.560
Kat William's latest special, The Last Report, released on February tenth,

19
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.799
has gotten seven point one million views in its first week.

20
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.079
That's up ten percent from Kat's previous special, twenty twenty

21
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.719
four's Woke Folk. It is the eleventh biggest US debut

22
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.799
for any Netflix special going back to twenty seventeen. Some

23
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.640
other info, Dave Chappell's twenty nineteen Stix and Stones has

24
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.040
the biggest US viewership of any Netflix special in the

25
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.319
last decade, plus thirty five point three six million debuts. However,

26
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.120
that trails Shane Gillis Live in Austin on YouTube and

27
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.359
fifty two million plus views. Shane's Netflix special twenty twenty

28
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.519
three's Beautiful Dogs has twenty eight million views on Netflix.

29
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.640
Deadline points out YouTube counts thirty seconds of streaming as

30
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.719
a view. Netflix divides the title's total hours by its

31
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.200
runtime to calculate views. Over on Amazon, Jim Gaffigan's twenty

32
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.319
nineteen Quality Time sixteen point four million views. Nate Berghatzy's

33
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.680
Hello World thirteen and a half that came out four

34
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.560
years later than the Gaffigan one. Eliza Slessinger Is a

35
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.200
Different Animal came out last year one point three two

36
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.920
million views so far. The biggest on Amazon this year

37
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.879
is Kathleen Matdogunce The Family Thread, which came out in

38
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.640
November of last year, that has one point two eight

39
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.919
million views. On Hulu, Kamail Nanjianni's Night Thoughts, which came

40
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.759
out late last year, is the Streamers number two special

41
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.400
in the fifty two weeks ending February fifteenth, twenty twenty six,

42
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.400
Hul's third biggest specials since twenty twenty four, trailing Jim

43
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.280
Gaffigan with The Skinny and Bill Burrs the Drop Dead Years.

44
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.360
Nola caught up with Kyle Kinane. Kyle was recently asked

45
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.639
if he wanted to perform comedy during Fish's four day

46
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.520
takeover at a Cancun resort. Kyle was like sure and

47
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.879
ended up seeing Fish three times that weekend. He said,

48
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.639
I'm like, well, I've kind of made my mark on

49
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.000
that community and they don't like me. Anytime I need

50
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.599
jerk reaction is like this is gonna suck. I kind

51
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:42.840
of have to do it. If it sounds like a

52
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.520
bad idea, well why don't you go find out for

53
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.759
yourself instead of just from a distance pointing your finger

54
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.639
and judging. So I said yes to it and woind

55
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.960
up having a great time. Kyle told the gambit try

56
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.199
to find the micro happiness because the world will not

57
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.639
make you happy. The universe is crappy, so try to

58
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.560
be a champion of yourself and find the happiness in

59
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.280
your own little microcosm. Kyle says, over the last couple

60
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.680
of years, I'm realizing that fame and success are different.

61
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.599
I've accomplished what I want to. I might not be

62
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.120
outwardly successful in terms of what other comedians have, but

63
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.120
I'm grateful for what I do have and appreciative of

64
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.800
the friends and what I've gotten from comedy. Johnny Mack,

65
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.439
you never talk about Chris Fleming. I know, right, Vulture

66
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.159
did a big profile of him. Have you watched the

67
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.520
special yet? It's really good, Vulture says. Chris Fleming arrives

68
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.439
at the hotel and an absurdly tiny, sea foam green car,

69
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.240
a Nissan Figaro, an obscure nineteen fifty style convertible with

70
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.039
chrome detailing and tiny around headlights and a right side

71
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.639
steering wheel. Fleming is six y to two, and when

72
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.400
he sits in the driver's seat, his knees falled up

73
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.199
to his chest, so they started driving around. The writer says,

74
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.039
this is like Seinfeld doing comedians and cars getting coffee.

75
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.039
Fleming says, f that's a huge problem. If this is

76
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.560
what this is giving off, damn it. Chris is asked

77
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.879
if he cares about cars in general. Is this a hobby?

78
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.400
Oh god, no, this is pure esthetic. I love it.

79
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.319
I got to look up now, I'm curious what this

80
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.719
car looks like Nissan figure O. Oh yeah, you gotta

81
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.039
look this thing up. This thing looks like it belongs

82
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.680
in a retro movie, said in like Europe somewhere. This

83
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.759
thing is tiny. What a cool looking car? Though, we

84
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.000
learned in the profile, Chris Fleming's mother realized his talent,

85
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.479
and when Chris was sixteen, mom drove him to his

86
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.000
first open mic. Flemming remembers mom saying, you want to

87
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.839
be like Robin Williams. Right, well, you got to do

88
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:21.959
stand up mf R. I was like, oh, I don't

89
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.560
want to do stand up. Stand up sucks. I don't

90
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.319
like watching it. I wanted to be in movies and

91
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.639
I found stand up tedious. People Magazine profiled Nate Berghansey

92
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.240
as part of the game show Yeah it's Wednesday, It's

93
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.319
Scrubs Night, Trivia night, game show night, Schrodinger's Dree Duty Night.

94
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.120
And I'm a little worried as I record this on Tuesday. Now,

95
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:41.759
it was expecting they would tell me to call back

96
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.279
on Wednesday. They told me to call back on Tuesday nights.

97
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.480
I'm a little worried that they're gonna get me. I

98
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.839
might actually record two episodes while I'm sitting here in

99
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.040
the studio and actually home. Nate cleared up some other

100
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.600
rumors about him quitting stand up. He said, I'm not

101
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.000
quitting stand up right now. I got this current tour.

102
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.920
We're doing another tour, but there's gonna be a point

103
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.439
where it's gonna get hard to travel on the road.

104
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.600
Is We're creating so much stuff and making these movies,

105
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:04.720
and then I want to go help find the next

106
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.480
generation of comedians or actors writers. At least I wanted

107
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.120
to stand there and tell them I've done what I'm

108
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.480
asking them to do. Last week, Jason Zenniman, friend of

109
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.800
the show in The New York Times, he wrote, the

110
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.680
most popular comedian You've probably never heard of. That person

111
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.720
is Maximini, who I had never heard of. Remember, at

112
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.720
the end of the year, Deadline kind of was like, hey,

113
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.680
Maximedi's selling out places, and I was like, who, Well,

114
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.040
Maximedi is the most popular comedian you've probably never heard of,

115
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.439
Correctly pointed out by Jason Zenneman, of The New York Times,

116
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.160
Jason went to see Maximedi at the Garden. All this

117
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.560
before the current war. I just want to point that out,

118
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.480
Jason writes. Arenas like the Garden aren't built for crowd work.

119
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.720
In the upper balcony, you can't hear, let alone see

120
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.959
half the conversation. But this didn't stop a meeting who

121
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.480
made small talk with ticket buyers for twenty straight minutes.

122
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.120
Jason writes, the Maximini phenomenon reflects a transitional moment in

123
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.120
an increasingly globalized comedy scene, upending two common beliefs. The

124
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.439
firstes that fans just want great jokes some do. What

125
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.040
you see from Amini is an artist less interested in

126
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.600
putting together clever punchlines than in creating a sense of

127
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.160
an event, a warm vibe, a show that becomes a community.

128
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.439
On Sunday, when Dean Cook introduced Amini, he didn't trumpet

129
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.560
the younger comics funniness, but his ability to connect and unify.

130
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.439
Dean Cook didn't expect that name in this story. At

131
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.759
one point in drunk audience member hijacked the show and

132
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.079
another woman told a long story about seeing a medium

133
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.160
that almost no one in the arena could hear. I mean,

134
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.519
he got his biggest laughs, mocking the audience members, calling

135
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.199
back to them, weaving them into a story. What becomes

136
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.000
clear is they're not just seeing the show, they are

137
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.560
the show. Judging from the crowd of the garden, his

138
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.000
audience comes from nearly every continent, and a meaning made

139
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.240
sure that his material is accessible to them all. As

140
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.560
subjects were universal and bland, dating, family music, and he

141
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.560
never went deeper specific enough to confuse anyone. His examination

142
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.759
of Iranian culture often applies to other immigrant experiences. Again,

143
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.560
this show and the article are from before the war.

144
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.800
Jason Zinnemann wrote at that time, A Meanie's only really

145
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.600
challenging material came at the end of the show when

146
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.399
he stopped choking and told the crowd that thousands approacheds

147
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.319
had been killed in Iran and that what was happening

148
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.439
there was quote the biggest revolution in our time unquote.

149
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.079
Then he showed a series of short videos of scenes

150
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.519
of violence, protesters getting run over and attacked, and as

151
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.839
a narrator in towned freedom is not a punchline, don't

152
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.279
forget to vote someone off the island on Comedy Survivor

153
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.439
Regular Survivors on TV tonight too, so we got that

154
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.040
and Scrubs Trivia and I got a nixed the Nixer.

155
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.199
On tonight they're playing the champions Big Night Comedy Survivor

156
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.439
sixteen comedians one island. Half of them have already been

157
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.240
voted off by the listeners. What you do is you

158
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.959
go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group.

159
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.839
There you'll see a picture of me extinguishing the torch

160
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.240
of Kevin Hart from last week, and this week you'll

161
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.199
vote someone off the island. I took a quick look

162
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.800
this morning. I look like Burt Kraser is in trouble.

163
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.879
So if you're part of the Bert Krascher alliance, you're happy.

164
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.319
And if not, you guys want to form an alliance

165
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.800
and vote someone else off to save Bert Krascher up

166
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.079
to you. I don't care. It's just a bit all

167
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.480
that's up to you, guys. I'm just the host. Radar

168
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.800
Online says that Stephen Colbert's ratings are pretty bad and

169
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.639
the CBS can't wait for it to be over. The

170
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:10.000
phrasing from Raider Online is bosses are counting the days

171
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.240
until he's out, while telling him not to let the

172
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.079
door whack his behind on the way out. The series

173
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.240
finale is May twenty first. Then it can't come too

174
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.639
soon for CBS big weeks, who note that the comic

175
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.879
is facing his worst January ratings in the twenty five

176
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.120
to fifty four age group. Ever, with just two hundred

177
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.240
and eighty five thousand viewers, that is not a lot

178
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.159
of people. An insider said, the final show can't come

179
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.879
soon enough for most folks at the network. They're sick

180
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.200
to the back teeth of Colbert's reaching ego, his constant

181
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.200
attention seeking and petty historyonics. The feeling's pretty mutual, to

182
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.720
be fair, Steven's only going through the motions at this point,

183
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.639
but that makes for a lousy vibe, and it's doing

184
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.559
nothing to improve the shattered morale of his employees. Most

185
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.279
of them will be out of a job soon enough,

186
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.440
no thanks to him, the insider said. The fact his

187
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.120
ratings are in the pan does justify the decision to

188
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.000
cut Ties, but it also means the sharp decline in revenue,

189
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.240
and there are some folks at the network who were

190
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.679
flat out accusing Steven of sabotaging the show on his

191
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.039
way out the door. Whatever his motive, the next few

192
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.519
months can't pass soon enough. Wow, Jimmy Carr is getting

193
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.279
another season of his TV show am I The a Hole.

194
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.600
Car said of UK's Comedy Central, We're bringing back am

195
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.840
Id a Hole and I'm hosting again a guest Comedy

196
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.120
Central figure. When it comes to a Hole's game recognizes game.

197
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.480
On m Ida Hole, judges judge members of the public

198
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.159
on their questionable behavior and morally dubious actions. For example,

199
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.519
say you played the Riodd Comedy Festival, they would say, hey,

200
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.080
are you an a hole? And then the judges would

201
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.039
decide whether or not that was something that would make

202
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.799
someone an a hole? But hey, at checks at check right.

203
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.120
President Trump has announced on social media that he will

204
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:48.360
participate in this year's White House Correspondence Association dinner. In

205
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.080
the past that was hosted by comedians who would roast

206
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.919
everyone in the room, including whatever person was the sitting president.

207
00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:00.279
This year's host is celebrity mentalist Oz Perman. I'm not

208
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:04.639
familiar with mister Pearlman's work. Perlman was profiled apparently by

209
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.159
The New York Times back in October. The headline on

210
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.720
that article said, it's not cheating, it's reading minds. Oz

211
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.519
Perlman has revealed Joe Rogan's atm CODE on air and

212
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:20.360
entertained NFL stars. Now the Mano Sphear's favorite magician wants more. Okay,

213
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.879
that's all I know about this person. And now he's

214
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.000
hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner, which will be attended

215
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.679
by the President of the United States, who posted on

216
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.440
social media during the war in honor of our nation's

217
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.399
two hundred and fiftieth birthday, and because these correspondents now

218
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.279
admit that I am truly one of the greatest presidents

219
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.799
in the history of our country. The goat wait is

220
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.639
the President, saying he's only one of the greatest presidents

221
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.200
in the history of our country. I thought he was

222
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.399
the greatest according to himself. No, he's only one of them.

223
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.320
I wonder who else is on his list. Anyway, the

224
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:56.559
President said he will help make the dinner the encaps greatest, hottest,

225
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.879
and most spectacular dinner of any kind ever. White House

226
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.519
Press Secretary Carolyn Levit, taking a break from answering questions

227
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.480
about the war that Congress did not approve, posted will

228
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.679
be fun. And I'll leave you with this today. I

229
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.399
put this last on purpose. Listen to me, because I'm

230
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.480
going to prove it, and you're you're going to struggle

231
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.919
to make it to the end of today's show. But

232
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.519
this will prove my point. This is why I put

233
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.480
it last. When Jim Gaffigan is not doing polished written material,

234
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:27.000
he is horribly, horribly unfunny. I will prove it to you.

235
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.840
Jim Gaffigan went on social media. He had a message

236
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.360
for you. I defy you to make it to the

237
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.120
end of this clip.

238
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:38.279
Hey everyone, it's Jim gaff again. I just want to

239
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.919
let you know that my forehead is still large. I

240
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.960
do have some kind of exciting news coincidence. I don't know,

241
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:58.879
maybe conspiracy theory. Recently I passed a million subscribers on YouTube.

242
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:03.320
Now I'm not saying that had anything with the Supreme

243
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.519
Court overturning the tariffs, but it seems a little like,

244
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.120
you know what a coincidence, right? You know, It's like

245
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.879
stock market reaches fifty thousand and then it goes down,

246
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.320
Big coin goes down. You know, all those ships are

247
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:29.080
moving to you know, the you know in position in Iran,

248
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:34.919
you know, and then my YouTube subscriber goes up to

249
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.519
a million. I mean I don't anyway, Thank you if

250
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.519
you have subscribed and watched the Bourbon.

251
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.879
Side Jim Gaffigan, Holy cow, that was bad. Not your

252
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.360
comedy news for today. I think I've got to record

253
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.240
Thursday while I'm here. I got a bad sense about

254
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.080
this Jerry duty call, so so let me make sure

255
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.039
you have a show so I could see you tomorrow
