00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.560
Callaroga Shark Media. Johnny Mack is Grouchie Today and Hello,

2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:15.199
I am Johnny Mack with your daily Comedy Newsy Daily

3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.559
briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the company industry,

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.600
which is a freeze. You might say, if you were

5
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.960
retraining the Spotify algorithm, but we don't have time for

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.679
that right now. I don't know if you're aware. As

7
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.000
we head to twenty twenty six, there are new rules

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.519
for podcasters, and podcasters must broadcast all statements from the

9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.119
President of the United States. So let's get that out

10
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.960
of the way, ladies, a gentleman, the President of the

11
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:35.640
United States.

12
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:41.479
All amigos, Joe sois sinolo precidento and Senor Donaldo. Jay Trumpell,

13
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.640
your Expresidental Signor Maduro is no longer your Presidental. Anyway,

14
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.920
we're gonna make Venezuela grande again, Muca grandell, bigger, yell,

15
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.000
better than ever before.

16
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.000
Late Night had a lot to say about that, Jimmy

17
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.320
Kimmel said, after months of escalation, Trump decided Maduro how

18
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.320
to go, And yeah, he's a criminal and a dictator

19
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.799
who's driven his entry into financial ruin while he and

20
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.239
his family of line their own pockets. But Madorio's no

21
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:09.439
saint either. Great joke. Colbert said, Oh, Venezuela, evidently when

22
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.480
he says in America first, he means alphabetically Jimmy Kimmel again,

23
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.519
he can't even run the country he runs. This is

24
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.280
like if J. C. Penny decided to buy Sears. Kimmel,

25
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.760
if you're wondering how bad the Epstein files are and

26
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.640
turns out there invade Venezuela bad. Great joke. Fallon said, Yeah,

27
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.400
the news took everybody by surprise. When I heard there

28
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.760
was an operation to extract a president. I just assumed

29
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.319
Trump got stuck at his tanning bed. Fallin again, yep.

30
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.400
Trump ordered the operation without getting congressional approval, and he

31
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.879
watched it from a Mara a Lago situation room, which

32
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.239
means there's a chance Vanilla Ice knew about the mission

33
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.480
before Congress did. The President and I don't agree on

34
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.400
all the issues. One of the issues we do agree

35
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.760
on is make Late Night great again. And here's some

36
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.519
more Kimmel versus Trump stuff, But on this one, I'm

37
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.640
going to side with the President, and I'll tell you why.

38
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.879
Kimmel was talking about the ratings for Trump hosting the

39
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.680
Kennedy Center Honors, Kimmel said, after boasting what a great

40
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.159
host he is and how much better he is than

41
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.840
I am, and how huge his ratings would be. Trump

42
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.920
hosted the lowest rated Kennedy Center Honors telecast of all time.

43
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.319
Let me tell you something. I'd hate to be the

44
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.319
White House intern who had to tear that headline out

45
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.240
of all the papers and eat him. You know, as

46
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.919
I recall, he would step down if this happened. He said,

47
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.000
if I can't beat out Jimmy Kimmel, then I don't

48
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.759
think I should be president. Well, hey, deal's a deal.

49
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.960
Back to MORLOCKO you go. Now here's where I sided

50
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.680
with the president. Jimmy Kimmel has never hosted the Kennedy

51
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.520
Center Honors, so, as far as we know, Trump is

52
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.240
indeed better at hosting the Kennedy Center Honors than Jimmy

53
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.719
Kimmel is. Jimmy, You're gonna have to host the thing

54
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.520
and see if you can beat him. Team Trump on

55
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.840
that one. We'll get out of Late Night in a second.

56
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.080
But Late Nighter did report that Jimmy Kimmel Live will

57
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.840
only host the musical guests twice a week. I'm not

58
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.159
a regular watcher of that show. Were they doing bands

59
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:50.120
every night? That's crazy? Why would you do that even

60
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.159
twice a week? Seems crazy. Back in the days of

61
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.319
Late Night with David Letterman, I didn't like what he

62
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.919
had bands on. Kimmel backstage at the Critics' Choice Awards

63
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.639
said there will always be late nights shows, but discuss

64
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.879
the evolution. There are some shows that are called late

65
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.840
night talk shows that aren't late night talk shows, that

66
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.560
still have the same format, and maybe we need a

67
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.840
different term for them. But it seems to me it's

68
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.080
one of the cheapest forms of broadcasting. CBS might disagree,

69
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.680
and it would be very surprising to me if it

70
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.639
went away entirely. CBS might disagree. Maybe it won't be

71
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.719
as big, Maybe there won't be a big band welcoming

72
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.000
the host of the stage, maybe there won't be fifteen writers.

73
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.680
But I think there'll be some version of late night

74
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.479
talk show, and in a way, maybe it'll be better

75
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.000
because maybe there'll be more opportunities for more people of

76
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.800
various backgrounds and ages and niche programming that I think

77
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.400
it'd be a lot of fun to watch. New topic

78
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.879
from my San Antonio Dot com They got my attention

79
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.080
with this headline. A unicorn, a cow, and an Eric

80
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.520
Cartman impersonator walk into a bar or protest outside a

81
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.560
comedy club. It seems people down in Austin, Texas are

82
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.960
not enjoying Joe Rogan operating a comedy club, and they're

83
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.840
all wigged about it, and this is how they spent

84
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.599
their New Year's Eve protesting the existence of Joe Rogan's

85
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.039
comedy club. Reddit user apologize to the Bees posted a

86
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.159
video of a crowd of peace people gathered outside Joe Rogan's

87
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.960
comedy club, decked out in costumes with anti Rogan signs.

88
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.439
The protesters were joined by people wearing a South park

89
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.000
At Cartman costume, a Unicorn costume, and also an inflatable

90
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.199
cow at Connor Cage twelve wrote funnier than anything inside

91
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.439
the building. Another redtour wrote, I hated these a holes

92
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.160
from out of state. Rogan moved in and claimed the

93
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.839
entirety of the Austin comedy scene. The dude owns one

94
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.399
comedy venue, not all of them. A different user encourages

95
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.160
us to suport venues like Cold to Town and Camp City,

96
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.879
adding keep Austin funny without Diet Alex Jones out today

97
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.680
on Netflix. Marcelo Hernandez American Boy. At this point in

98
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.360
the script, I would tell you some stuff about Marcelo Hernandez,

99
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.079
but there didn't seem to be any advance press about it,

100
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.879
and I did. Look, we'll see if Marcelo did anything today.

101
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.000
There was a profile late December in the New York

102
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.839
Times that was kind of boring. I've looked at it

103
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.040
three times and can't find any interesting to pull out

104
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.560
of it. Anyway, Marcelo Hernandez on Netflix today, I'm sure

105
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.680
you're looking for that. This weekend, Nicki Glazer hosts The

106
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.759
Golden Globes, her second time hosting the program. Last year,

107
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.720
she did not make any terrible horrible jokes about Taylor Swift.

108
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.959
Who's NICKI finding funny these days? She told Upworthy, as

109
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.240
of late Rachel Feinstein, David Spade, Martin short Is, Jimmy Glick,

110
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.240
Tim Robinson, and Chris Fleming could pick on Chris Fleming there,

111
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.800
I also love Jim Norton's latest special on YouTube, Unconceivable,

112
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.920
Upworthy asked Nicki Glazer, no matter how popular you get,

113
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.519
is there one thing about you that will never change?

114
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.160
Nicki said, I don't think people really ever change. I try.

115
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.240
I'm always holding out hope that I'll somehow conquer my

116
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.160
imposter syndrome and overall low self esteem. I know some

117
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.240
artists and comedians argue that it serves their work to

118
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.000
be depressed or anxious, but I feel like I've already

119
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.120
mind all my insecurities for material in the first two

120
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.480
decades of my career. I like to change it as

121
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.879
someone who's more confident. But don't we all. I don't

122
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.920
want to ever think that I'm better than anyone else,

123
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.399
but I'd like to lose the core belief that I'm

124
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.240
worse than others. I think Nicky's going to have a

125
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.279
good weekend with the Golden Globes In this week's Comedy

126
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.120
stock Market. She has announcedate tour. The Stunning Tour will

127
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.600
take Nicki Glazer around North America as well as Paris, London,

128
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.240
and Dublin. Kicks off the sixteenth at the Coliseum Theater

129
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.000
at Caesar's Palace, then off to Paris, London, Dublin and

130
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.199
Atlantic City. Imagine going through Paris, London, Dublin and then

131
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.959
Atlantic City. That's a bit of a letdown, I'm telling you.

132
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.000
The tour wraps up in December. On the second at

133
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.519
the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston. I'm getting old.

134
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.560
I don't know what we're doing anymore. There's too much

135
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.600
media out there. Bert Kreischer was on the Dumb Blonde

136
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.439
podcast speaking to Bunny Xo. Chryser's fifty three, so he's

137
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.160
not that much younger than I am. Bert just started

138
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.519
talking about his sex life. He said, Leanne's gonna kill me,

139
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.279
but I told her. I was like, Yeo, porn wasn't

140
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.279
doing it for me. I think it's because she's so

141
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.120
authentically her and the things that she has turned me on.

142
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.480
I said, hey, I need close up pictures of your

143
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.160
body parts for me. So I've a hidden folder and

144
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.480
they're just pictures. You can't see Lean's face, but they're

145
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.240
pictures of her body parts. You know. Amy Schumer might disagree,

146
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.319
but some things in a marriage are just between the

147
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.120
people in the marria. You don't have to go into

148
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.600
podcasts and tell us that. Bert said, I didn't think

149
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.480
I was going to be attracted to someone like Leanne.

150
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.360
When I got naked with her for the first time,

151
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.639
I'd never experienced that feeling. I don't know if it

152
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.800
makes total sense, but it felt like she was sharing

153
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.519
a cecar with me. I felt like she didn't get

154
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.480
naked with a lot of people. That energy I liked.

155
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.759
I think we're past peak Chriser now. I just have

156
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.839
that sense. As we all know, Kevin Hart likes to work,

157
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.839
isn't afraid of finding a way to make money. Well,

158
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.360
listen to this one. Kevin Hart announced a deal with

159
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:33.120
Authentic Brands, giving Authentic Brands the rights to license Kevin

160
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.720
Hart's name. Heart and ABG will co manage the quote

161
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.319
Kevin Hart unquote brand, bringing it to new verticals and

162
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.160
business areas, including consumer products, digital platforms, and live experiences.

163
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.319
Kevin Hart, in a statement, said, this partnership is about acceleration,

164
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.480
growth and diversification. I've spent years building businesses and creating opportunities,

165
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.879
and joining Authentic gives me the platform in global infrastructure

166
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.759
to take my brand to the next level. Becoming a

167
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.319
shareholder allows me to co own some of the most

168
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.199
recognizable IP of all time while building my own brand legacy.

169
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.160
Kevin Kevin, Kevin, listen to yourself. You're talking about IP

170
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.920
and brand legacy. Listen to yourself, dude, all the cool

171
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.920
just went out of the room. It's gone. You have

172
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.160
enough money. This might actually be worse than playing Riodd.

173
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.800
At least Riodd. You're doing a comedy show and you're

174
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.160
getting paid. What are you doing here? Kevin said, I

175
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.040
want the Heart name to live on for generations to

176
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.680
come and be something that my grandkids and their grandkids

177
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.800
will be able to be proud of. Then there's some

178
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.839
quotes here from the city. I can't even with this.

179
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:31.240
Ugh.

180
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.320
Actually I was gonna bounce this next one, but it

181
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.399
fits very nicely here. This was an opinion piece on Vulture.

182
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.799
They wrote, remember the Riodd Comedy Festival back in September,

183
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.639
It was all anyone interested in comedy talked about. There

184
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.559
was David Cross's blog post calling out Riodd performers like

185
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.559
Dave Chappelle, Luis c K, Bill Burr, and Jim Jeffries

186
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.000
Cross asking how can any of us take any of

187
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.559
you seriously? Again? Andrew Schultz firing back at David Cross

188
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.960
by referencing an instance of David Cross using the N word.

189
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.480
Bill Burr's rant on Conan o'brine needs a friend, where

190
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.559
we refer to people criticizing festival performers as sanctimonious sea

191
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.279
words who don't give a hoot. This piece then gets

192
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.320
into other beefs, Mark Maren calling out the Rogan verse

193
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.559
while promoting his new special, Andrew Schultz going after Andrew

194
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.080
Santino on Rogan for simply saying he didn't like the

195
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.679
Austin comedy scene. A video called Mark Norman's Problem with

196
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.200
Eric Andre has four hundred and thirty thousand views. Schultz

197
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.399
labeling Maren an ahole on Rogan by telling a story

198
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.679
about Maren being mean to John Stewart in the nineties,

199
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.879
a story Maren himself has been sharing freely and openly

200
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.919
since twenty thirteen. Vault Writ's. One of the most memorial

201
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.200
reactions to the re Odd Comedy Festival came from twenty

202
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.440
twenty six as Comedian of the Year John Marcos Serresi,

203
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.360
who posted a stand upset which he said, I hope

204
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.440
the one who gets in trouble is Gabriel Iglesias. He'd

205
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:47.519
be like, you can't be head me my next two Fluffy.

206
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.960
I think Chappelle's performing there tonight. I think it'd be

207
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.720
funny if he got in trouble because he wouldn't stop

208
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.279
talking about trans people. And then, of course, on December nineteenth,

209
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.879
Dave Chappelle released a Netflix special in which he discussed

210
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.320
the Riodd Comedy Festival. I was going to bounce this

211
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.519
one too, but it fits the theme, Mark Maron, talking

212
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.639
to Consequence of Sound, he asked if Joe Rogan still

213
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.559
a comic or is he some sort of lifestyle show

214
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.440
that deals with information. Maren said, I'm not some radical

215
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.279
progressive out in the world ranting about political impropriety. I'm

216
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.080
a comedian. So when I said what I said about

217
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.039
what was happening in Austin around the sphere of comics

218
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.600
in that audience, was to make a point, because they've

219
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.600
created this audience of what was primarily not comedy fans

220
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.279
and created this new breed of, you know, pseudo radicalized

221
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.120
comedy fans around anti woke comedy. What's interesting about comedy

222
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.279
and what's great about it is there's an expansive bunch

223
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.279
of voices, both vulnerable and angry. And there was this

224
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.039
thing that was happening where they were assuming the last

225
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.159
word about what comedy was, and it was a fairly

226
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.120
unnuanced and very hackneyed repetition of two or three ideas

227
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.720
that were primarily right wing talking points. So that's why

228
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:47.799
I did that. It was for comedy, not for me,

229
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.639
not for the left. It was for comedy. Okay, maren Ah,

230
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.960
here's one I bounced a couple times last week, but

231
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.960
it fits the theme of where we've landed in this

232
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.840
particular episode. So there's Robert de Niro and he's sitting

233
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:02.879
near Rob Schneider during the fiftieth anniversary special. Schneider told

234
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.759
The Epoch Times that he did see DeNiro two rows

235
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.399
of Adam, and he didn't want to ruin de Niro's

236
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.480
evening because Schneider supports President Trump. However, they did run

237
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.919
into each other. Schneider said, I bump into him and

238
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.879
he turns around. He has that particular expression that I

239
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.679
think everybody knows, and he says, Agony supports that guy.

240
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.399
I've cleaned that up a little. Schneider said, you could

241
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.519
choose not to have conflict and instead of getting into

242
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.000
a political debate, he said to Robert de Niro, I

243
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.320
love you. I'm still grouchy, not over yet. On the

244
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.919
Facebook group, you can vote for Comedy survivor a lot

245
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.200
of people voting. I'll talk about the voting in a second.

246
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.720
But Mike posted this thing. Mike's all into this. He

247
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.639
posted an analysis. He said he asked Jim and I

248
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.480
AI to help build a narrative to help him vote

249
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.440
off a comic weekly. It broke them into tribes, which

250
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.720
Mike says he can't argue against. You will find this

251
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.159
all of the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group.

252
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.559
But here's what the AI came up with. Tribe number

253
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.039
one The Titans Too Big to Fail, Adam Sandler, Kevin Hart,

254
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.480
Sebastian Maniscalco, and Jim Gaff Again. As for Gaff, again,

255
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.559
the AI analyzed everybody likes him. He's unproblematic, reliable, and

256
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.519
has a new Bourbon special. He will float to the

257
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.399
final three. If you aren't careful that that's good analysis there.

258
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.679
Try two The Roasters, High Risk, High Reward. The Roasters

259
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:20.639
include Nicky Glazer, Seth Myers, Sarah Silverman, Ron White, and

260
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.879
I like this line. Ron White is threatening to retire

261
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.840
and quit the game every week, but he never leaves.

262
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.559
Try three The wild Cards. The chaos agents include Bert Kraser,

263
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:35.279
Joe Coy, Leslie Jones, and Amy Schumer. Tribe four the Storytellers,

264
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:41.039
John Mulaney, Otsco, At Kotzka, Tig Nataro, and Jay Leno.

265
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.799
As for Otsco, the AI says she's the sweet player

266
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.360
who will stab you in the back of the final

267
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.000
tribal council. Very good analysis there, Mike, Thank you for

268
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.639
posting that again. It's in the Daily Comedy News podcast group.

269
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.960
Andrea was wondering why Nate Pergatzy wasn't on the list

270
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.679
when we did the nominations. Nobody nominated Nate. See how

271
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.759
the voting is going so far? Sandler Sandler, set Sebastian Sandler, Leslie.

272
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.840
All right, I don't want to tip the scales. Go

273
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.720
to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. Scroll down.

274
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.799
There's a cartoon image of Comedy Survivor in there. Vote

275
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.679
someone off the Island. Voting continues until end of day Thursday.

276
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.320
I'll record an episode on Friday, which you won't hear

277
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.320
until Monday. That's how that's going to work. Production wise,

278
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.919
I want to do these things on Friday. Publication wise,

279
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.639
they'll come out Monday's at noon as their own separate episodes.

280
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.440
Amy Schumer does like when we talk about her. The

281
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.320
New York Post has obtained property records that show that

282
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.799
Amy Schumer quietly purchased a corner condominium on Central Park

283
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.919
West for six point two five million dollars a year ago,

284
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.600
buying the three bedroom, three and a half bath apartment

285
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.519
under a trust. The deal closed roughly three months before

286
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.440
she listed her Brooklyn Heights townhouse property. The post sess

287
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.039
she would ultimately sell out a loss amid her divorce.

288
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.279
Last One Laughing UK has announced the cast for season two. Great,

289
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.919
great cast. If you haven't seen Last One Laughing season one,

290
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.720
you should watch it. It's really funny and it's a

291
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:04.759
fun game. You could play along at home because you

292
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.240
sit there on the couch and you try not to

293
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.799
laugh yourself and I couldn't do it. It's very funny. I

294
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.879
don't know all these names, but I know many of them.

295
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.200
They are David Mitchell, all right, right there, it's already great.

296
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:21.600
Diane Morgan, you know, Kunk Awesome, Romesh Ranga, Nathan Amy, Gledhill,

297
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.960
Mazy Adam Mel Gidroy Hope. I said your name right, Mel.

298
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.279
I haven't seen Mel's name in print before. Alan Carr, Gabema,

299
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:34.039
Sola Ikamello, Sam Campbell, who's fantastic, and Bob Mortener last

300
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.519
One Laughing, in which a brand new set of comedians

301
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.960
uses any means necessary to try and break their opponents,

302
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.519
but well, they do it all with a straight face.

303
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.000
Jimmy Carr returns as your host. Over the course of

304
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.200
the season, the comedians will use every answer their comedic

305
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.720
talents to try and break their opponents without cracking up.

306
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.879
The show is packed with comedy cameos, format twists, and

307
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.879
surprises design to elicit laughs from both players and viewers alike.

308
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.320
No date yet, but that should be really good. I

309
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.360
keep trying to imagine whether US version of it would be,

310
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.320
and maybe my brain is really small. I keep picturing

311
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.639
like it would be like the Chrysier Segura type guys

312
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.399
like I could see like Andrew Santino and Mark Norman there.

313
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:13.720
I think it would be more of like that kind

314
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.000
of scene. But still Jimmy Carr hosting. Hopefully they'll make

315
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.720
it someday. The twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year,

316
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.360
John Marco s Areisi, is in Japan. It's doing a

317
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.159
cool tour after Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia,

318
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.240
New Zealand and India, he told at Japan Time. Social

319
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:31.840
media has destroyed the fabric of society in so many ways,

320
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.399
but it's helped me a lot personally. There was a

321
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.320
time when as an American comedian you have to be

322
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:38.240
Chris Rock or at that level to come to Asia.

323
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.080
John Marco says he tries not to overload on information

324
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.639
and instead gets a feel for a place once he arrives.

325
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.320
I often find there's a lot of humor in just

326
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.240
sincerely learning about something, whether it's government or a custom

327
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.960
or some strange food that you tried. For crowd work

328
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.000
to be good, you have to sincerely be curious, and

329
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.080
I've always found the further away I am from home

330
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.879
more curious. I am, so I don't need to put

331
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:58.559
it on for Japan. It'll be a lot of fun,

332
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.200
he said. He was talking about the trip with Otsko

333
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.399
at Kotzka, who will be in Japan while Tremarco is there.

334
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.480
He said, we plan to go to karaoke. That'd be amazing.

335
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.879
He asked at Japan Times is there anything I'm not

336
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.399
allowed to say in Japan and explained he was advised

337
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.960
to curse lesson Singapore and his poster was deemed to

338
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.759
be too homo erotic for India. He said, I love

339
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.559
being a little edgy. I love having some teeth, but

340
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.559
those teeth vary depending on the country. What I might

341
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.440
think is teeth might not even be funny. It could

342
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.679
be hacky. That is your comedy news for today. All right,

343
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.039
I'm still kind of grutchy. Sorry, it's Wednesday. It's trivia night.

344
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.320
I gotta go see the trivia guys. Hopefully he has more

345
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.320
questions about comedy this week. There won't be if they

346
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.519
did that last week. This week's gonna be about Ariana

347
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.559
Grande and like the stuff. I don't know. My team's

348
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:43.080
just gonna fish twelve. They'm not even gonna try. I'm

349
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.440
gonna have the next game on my phone. All right,

350
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:45.159
See tomorrow.
