Las Culturistas Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers Olympics podcast

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.160
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny
Mack if your daily comedy news. I'm

2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.919
thinking ahead to the weekend and the
interview I have with Alex Bennett. Alex

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.960
is a friend of mine, longtime
a radio personality, and he's up there

4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.760
in years, and we got into
a friendly disagreement about old jokes, and

5
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.640
as you'll hear Alex say, he
doesn't appreciate them. And then when we

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.839
got into this, this was pre
debate that we recorded. This is I

7
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.439
was saying, I like a nice, harmless Joe Biden is so old joke.

8
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.719
I just had the late bot running
some and like, to me,

9
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.320
these are harmless jokes. I like
stuff like this. Joe Biden so old

10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:44.359
his birth certificate is written in Roman
numerals. Joe Biden is so old his

11
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.240
Social Security number is one. See
that's funny. Joe Biden is so old

12
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.399
he remembers when rainbows were in black
and white. Like. So those jokes

13
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.640
aren't really about Joe Biden. They're
just silly jokes using age as a premise.

14
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.399
But Alex really had a problem with
it. You'll hear about that in

15
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.719
Saturday's show. And it's just top
of mind on this side of the debate

16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.640
here on July second. We're seeing
the news slow down already. Don't worry.

17
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.959
I've squirrelled some stuff away. But
as you'll hear today, it's just

18
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.319
a bunch of oh yeah, we
announced a couple things right before the holidays,

19
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.280
So let's dive in. Bowen Yang, he'll have an Olympics podcast.

20
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.560
I suspect this will do really well. I personally have bow and fatigue right

21
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.760
now. I really enjoy him on
SNL, but I don't know. It's

22
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.920
starting to be a little much Bowen, But I have no doubt this podcast

23
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.400
will do really well. Bowen Yang
and Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas say this

24
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.439
show will offer a different take on
the Olympics, with each episode featuring a

25
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.879
dose of the host before diving into
the games. Bowen says, we're going

26
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.719
to get around to the Olympics.
It's called two Guys, five Rings,

27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.159
so you're going to have to get
through us before you get to the Olympics

28
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.159
part. It will be fifteen episodes. Yang and Rogers break down the top

29
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.239
storylines, discuss the athletes to watch
and the results, Obsessed over Paris culture,

30
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.280
and find out what really goes on
in the op village. They have

31
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.079
put out one episode that you do
that to seed your feed and you can

32
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.159
climb the charts a little bit,
but the main thing will run July twenty

33
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.080
sixth through August eleventh. Meanwhile,
Colin Jost will serve as an NBC Sports

34
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.039
reporter for the Olympics surfing competition.
He won't be in Paris, though surfing

35
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:23.080
is being held in Tahiti. NBC
calls Colin Jost an avid surfer. Jost

36
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.599
will report live from Tahiti. Olympic
Surfing kicks off Saturday, July twenty seventh

37
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.039
at twelve fifteen am Eastern. Jost
will be on site to interview athletes and

38
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.120
report on the conditions. Pro surfers
Joe Turple and Mike Parsons will handle the

39
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.599
play by play and analysis. Joe
said, I'm honored to get to watch

40
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.919
the best surface in the world compete
on one of the heaviest waves imaginable and

41
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.719
help showcase the rich history of surfing
in Tahiti, and my Writer's Guild Health

42
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.919
Insurance is excited to see what the
coral reef does to my back. Now,

43
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.479
if you're wondering why Tahiti apparently the
Sian River is not the best for

44
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.080
surfing there in downtown Paris. But
you've heard the phrase French Polynesia. It

45
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.240
all makes sense. Yeah, so
it's France, but you know France over

46
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.759
there, I guess Joe said,
as you could tell from this in no

47
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.639
way doctored photo. I can't wait
to get to t he to cover the

48
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.240
twenty twenty four Olympics surfing competition and
maybe even seriously get injured trying to surf.

49
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.479
Jimmy Fallon will co host the closing
ceremony. Love this spin after NBC

50
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.599
Sports Mike Turico invited him while guesting
on the Tonight Show. As if Tarico

51
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.560
ad lib this, as if Mike
just went on the Tonight Show and was

52
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.919
like, you know what, I'm
just gonna ask Jimmy Fallon to do this.

53
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.560
What if he says no on live
to tape television, Mike Turico,

54
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.560
I'm not buying your story. Is
Jimmy Fallon gonna be like no, no,

55
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.960
no, Mike Urico, I don't
want to do that. Are the

56
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.479
bosses at both NBC and the Olympics
going, wait, they asked Jimmy Fallon,

57
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.639
Oh shoot, don't try and hogwash
this guys How Fake Stop with Your

58
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.879
Spin. Keenan Thompson will also co
host a highlight show with Kevin Hart on

59
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.080
Peacock. Kevin Hart Never Afraid to
take a gig Leslie Jones will also be

60
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:01.520
doing some work for NBC slash Peacock. While would you like some Boneless Wings?

61
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.960
One of my favorite comedians, Jimmy
O Yang, is working with Popeyes.

62
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.840
Jimmy O Yang, apparently known for
his skepticism about boneless wings, has

63
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.959
teamed up with Popeye, promoting six
mouthwatering varieties like Classic Honeylemon Pepper, and

64
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.040
Signature Hot Well what are the other
three? Now? I have to go

65
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.639
to popeyes dot com. You got
your click, but come on, I

66
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.199
mean it's only six. Tell me
what they are? All right? It

67
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.480
took a lot of clicks. According
to popeyes dot com slash menu slash section

68
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.160
E four, there are five sauces, not the six mentioned in the press

69
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.319
release. The five on the actual
Popeye's website are Sweet and Spicy Sauce,

70
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:46.920
Honey Barbecue Wing sauce, Roasted Garlic
Parmesan wing sauce, Signature Hot Wing Sauce,

71
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.800
and Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce. Well
what's the six sauce? Hmm.

72
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.360
Mel Brooks still out at about and
you can join him at the Peacock Theater

73
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.360
Saturday, July twenty seventh for a
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Blazing Saddles,

74
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.639
we got a trailer for the best
Christmin Pageant ever and inspirational comedy starring

75
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.120
Judy Greer and Pete Holmes. The
Best Christmins Pageant Ever centers on the Herdman

76
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.439
kids, who are the absolute worst. They lie, they steal a bully,

77
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.000
and they've hijacked the town Christmas pageant. As the rowdy and Rocus siblings

78
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.680
force themselves into all of the lead
roles, they drive the pageant's director,

79
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.199
Grace played by Judy Greer, and
other members of her family, including husband

80
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.680
Bob Pete Holmes up the wall.
How Adam Sandler's not in this? I

81
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.879
don't know. I know what an
Adam Sandler plot sounds like, and this

82
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.120
is one. But through their misfit
mischief I like that writing there, these

83
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.920
unlikely messengers might turn out to be
the ones to deliver the town sensational and

84
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:48.279
moving portrayal of the true meaning of
Christmas. Ronin Hirshberg has yet another special

85
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.959
out today, Comedy Dynamics releasing it
Could Have Been Better. It'll be out

86
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.759
on album form on July fifth.
It Could Have Been Better is Hirshberg's fourth

87
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.560
special overall, his second in the
last two months. He released one on

88
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.160
June twentieth that I watched over the
weekend and told you it's okay. I

89
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.720
don't hate it. I don't love
it. It just is. That one's

90
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.800
called Brave. You'll find that on
YouTube. Comedy Dynamics also announced the acquisition

91
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.639
of Tony Rock Rock the World,
the debut special from a comedian, Tony

92
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:20.160
Rock. You may have heard of
Tony's brother, Chris, also a comedian.

93
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.480
Among Tony Rock's credits, he has
been seen on the series Everybody Hates

94
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.279
Chris. Jason Zenneman from The New
York Times. We all like him right

95
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.519
now, we all know who he
is. He cut up with Keith Robinson

96
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.800
and wrote with the changes to his
movement and speech, Robinson's stand up has

97
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:40.240
new gravity and pace. After considerable
speech therapy, Robinson can tell jokes but

98
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.480
must work harder to be understood.
Keith says everything has to be more precise.

99
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.519
Now everything counts I can't depend on
movement. After his second stroke,

100
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.040
which was far more debilitating than the
first, Robinson briefly thought he'd have to

101
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.040
quit performing and become a writer.
Chris Rock hired him to help with Rock's

102
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.319
recent special, but Robinson missed being
on stage, hang out with comics,

103
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.160
and most of all, busting chops. Drew Carrey wants to keep posting the

104
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.120
prices right. He says, I
do have a goal. I want to

105
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.600
keep going until I die. This
is my eighteenth season. I've got to

106
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.759
get to the thirty five and forty
one year mark so I can catch Bob

107
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.160
Barker and Pat Sayjack. Drew says, once I hit ten years here,

108
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.319
I was like, wow, that's
the longest I've ever had a job in

109
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.680
my life. It's just such a
great part of my day, my year,

110
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.680
my life. I can't imagine giving
it up. I don't like CBS

111
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.879
to know that. But it's going
to be a few years till my next

112
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.160
contract negotiations, so maybe forget I
said this. I can quit any time

113
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.000
I want. Amber Ruffin came out
on social media. She wrote, and

114
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.439
what will come as a shock to
exactly zero people, I'm using the last

115
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.519
day of pride to come out be
proud of who you are. Little babies.

116
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.519
I know I am, and I
can't wait to be discriminated against for

117
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.879
a new reason. And that is
your comedy news for today. See if

118
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.439
you can figure out what the sixth
the sauce is and let me know.

119
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:46.360
See you tomorrow
