1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.199
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, it's Johnny Mackets, some barking

2
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.960
dogs trying to tell you about today's daily coming news. Look, dogs,

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.440
I gotta record this thing. I'mount of time. I gotta

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.600
get move in here. It's a Tuesday, but there doesn't

5
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.280
seem to be a big Netflix special this week. I

6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.879
think they've cleared the runway so John mulaney can have

7
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.519
all the attention and the PR team working on that

8
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.120
high dogsky. I wonder if you guys can hear them

9
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.799
or not the noise cancelation may or may not have

10
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:35.520
gotten rid of them. I'll find out by listening back,

11
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.039
just like you did anyway. Bert Kreischer is the Netflix

12
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.600
special next week. Friday did a big profile with Bert Krescher,

13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.640
and they were curious, Hey, Bert, do you ever still bomb?

14
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.280
Where it said I don't have to bomb if I

15
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.679
don't want to. Sometimes it's good not to bomb, per se,

16
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.759
but to not lean on those little tricks that ensure

17
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.960
us to do well. Chris Rock's a perfect example. Chris

18
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:55.840
Rock works out new material. He doesn't do any of

19
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.799
the preaching on stage, the walking back and forth. Though,

20
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.920
let me tell you something, none of that he's really

21
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:01.799
he almost reads it off like a book to find

22
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:03.960
out if the material really works. I'll do a version

23
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.719
of that. There are jokes that don't work, there are

24
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:07.239
stories that don't work that I commit to you and

25
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:08.840
tell the whole thing anyway, just to see if there's

26
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.400
anything in it really, really insightful answer there, Bert, do

27
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.280
you ever go to alt comedy rooms and find it

28
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.519
more challenging? Bert said, yes, of course, I haven't done

29
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.200
it in a while. I always think I would have

30
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.319
done better in those alt rooms because I'm a storyteller,

31
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.560
and that's a more alternative approach to comedy. It feels

32
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.159
easier to swallow at the Largo or U se Be

33
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.680
or typewriter Dynastate, whereas at the comedy store you have

34
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.760
guys doing crowd work and set up punchline, and when

35
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.120
you tell stories sometimes it confuses the audience. I always

36
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:32.640
wondered how I would perform at those places, but I

37
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.439
didn't do it enough to be honest. A variety mentions

38
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.920
minor ish spoiler here, I won't ruin it for you,

39
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.519
but there is a political comment in the special, and

40
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.319
they asked Bert about that. I won't get into the specifics.

41
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.000
Bert explained, I don't have a problem telling you I am.

42
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.920
I don't want to alienate you if you come to

43
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.120
my show and preach politics. I also don't mind telling

44
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.519
you I have two little girls and a wife, and

45
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.000
I stand for women's rights, so I think that's undeniable.

46
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:54.760
I don't mind telling you I own a couple of guns.

47
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.599
I'm not going to preach my views on the NRA

48
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.359
on stage. I'll just tell you a story about having

49
00:01:58.400 --> 00:01:59.879
a gun. I'll tell you my daughter thinks I'm a

50
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.799
misogynists and make a joke about it, or tell an

51
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.159
abortion joke. There should be a joke. If you go

52
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.480
out and start preaching politics, sometimes you lose me. It's

53
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.400
sexier when I don't know your politics. I like when

54
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.159
a comedian's politics are assumed. So I like to stay

55
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.080
away from political comedy, but I'm not afraid of it.

56
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.080
Interesting follow up here, Variety. I heard you send a

57
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.280
custom Berg Kreischer calendar to people around Hollywood? Is that true?

58
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.840
I do what's in there. It's all my sexy pictures.

59
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.159
Will get you one if you want, Variety. I'm intrigued anyway.

60
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.919
What's the vibe around Hollywood? These days. In terms of

61
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.360
pitching projects, Bert said, it's the gold rush right now.

62
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.280
Hollywood is re envisioning the way they make TV and movies.

63
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.439
You look like in a place like Netflix that invests

64
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.120
maybe two hundred and fifty grand on a special for

65
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.360
the majority of comics and sees a wild return on

66
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.719
that money. Hollywood's now going let's step it up a bit.

67
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.319
What if we allow them the freedom to say whatever

68
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.840
they want and maybe we could make a movie that

69
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.759
one day was thirty five million dollars, So let's see

70
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.479
if we can do it for seven million dollars. I

71
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.719
feel very lucky to be alive and working at this point.

72
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.759
TV and movies are about to explode in Hollywood in

73
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.240
a really fun and crazy way. It's going to be

74
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.439
a lot of streamers. I don't think we're going to

75
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.000
be going to the box office. But if you look

76
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.680
at Shane Gillis's show Tires that was made on a

77
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.400
minimum and it's a great show. Shane Gillis, without a doubt,

78
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.000
is probably the most talented comedic actor of our generation.

79
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.680
I think people are looking at him and going, if

80
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.400
Shane's there, then what about THEO Vaughn? What about Naper, Ghetzee,

81
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.479
what about Dan Soder. It's gonna be really cool to

82
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.159
see Ralph Barbosa's first TV movie or Renee Vakas first

83
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.680
TV show. Whatever they decide to do, they're gonna give

84
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.759
comics a lot more freedom. Us comics, we don't need

85
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.400
a ton of money. We can make money on the road.

86
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.680
We just want to make things for our fans. Look

87
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.319
what happened to radio and podcasting. Joe Rogan runs media.

88
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.919
In my opinion, he affected an election that was based

89
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.199
on an eight hundred dollars investment buying a zoomer corder

90
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.159
and two mics. It changed the media landscape, and I

91
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.400
think that's about to happen with movies and TV. I

92
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.680
don't think you're gonna be able to get a ton

93
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.360
of people in the movie theaters. You'll need ten pole

94
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.360
events to get people in the movie theaters. You're gonna

95
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.879
have to get Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Shaquille O'Neil, and

96
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.599
Shane Gillis. I'm someone who had a movie at the

97
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.159
box office and even I'll wait until it comes to streamers.

98
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.960
I have a screening room in my house. I want

99
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.159
to use my stuff. Netflix is a great place to

100
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.199
release stuf because they're so hands off. Tom Sigre has

101
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:55.879
a project coming out I think in April. If I'm

102
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.439
not mistaken, that was untouched by Netflix. It's gonna be

103
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.639
wild as s sires as Shane and John mckeebrew's fingerprints

104
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.159
all over it. It does look like Network Notes. It

105
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.520
looks like a bunch of boys trying to make their

106
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.800
buddies laugh. I think that's the direction comedy's going in.

107
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.120
Brady said, do you think we're in a comedy renaissance? Burt? Oh? Yeah,

108
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.280
stand up comedy right now is where it was when

109
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.800
Steve Morton, Rich Pryor, Sam Kinnison Andrew Dice Clay were

110
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.959
making specials. That's two different generations, Burt, right before they

111
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.040
took over the box office. Look at all these great

112
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.560
specials that have come out recently. Hollywood producers are getting

113
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.240
younger and younger and every day, and they're enjoying these

114
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.079
comedic voices. They're gonna be like, how do I get

115
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.879
you to do your thing for me? From the New

116
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.399
York Times Turn of the show Jason Cinnamon under the

117
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.319
headline is this British flamethrower the comic best suited to

118
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.720
take on Trump, he went to go see Nish Kumar.

119
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.519
Jason writes, this is not comedy that's trying to change minds.

120
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.199
Here he attacks manosphere podcasters like Jordan Peterson, the Canadian

121
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.120
professor turned popular anti woke guru, as a radicalizing influence,

122
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.720
and comedians like Jimmy Carr who enabled them for going

123
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.720
on their shows. He also criticized the left for fixating

124
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.759
on the wrong questions like whether people can enjoy good

125
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.759
art by bad people. We all do, he says, with

126
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.600
a refreshing conclusiveness, which is why he adds, this is

127
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.920
very f I have preread this. We should all thank

128
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.160
Russell Brand for never producing anything worthwhile. No one heard

129
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.600
those allegations of sexual assault and thought, well, how well

130
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.480
I enjoy get him to the Greek That is very funny.

131
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.600
Zennaman says. What makes Kumar stand out meet the moment

132
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.879
is his lack of caution. His funniest material can be

133
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.319
appealingly reckless. His most virtue, also, bit is an elaborate

134
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:23.279
consideration of the assassination attempt of famous person who's on

135
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.480
TV a lot from New York City and own some casinos.

136
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.720
I don't need a visit from the fed types. I'm

137
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.160
just telling what Jason Zeneiman wrote. Chick it up with

138
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.800
that there's no doing it justice on the page, but

139
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.040
its rigorous justification of violent thoughts carried the spirit of

140
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.560
the ferocious comic Bill Hicks in a way that Jason

141
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.600
z Intimate hasn't seen in many years. Very interesting. If

142
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.480
feel listen to the show all the time, Niti's name

143
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.800
tends to come up. It tends to be a weekend items.

144
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.480
I usually moved the British stuff to the weekends, and

145
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.399
I see him breaking through over here. The Last Laugh

146
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.879
podcast caught off with George Wallace. I thought his comments

147
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.240
about Johnny Carson were very interesting. We'll get to that

148
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.160
in a second. George says, marketing is just another name

149
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.319
for BS. So that's why I knew Trump is a

150
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.000
bs er because it's what I do. All bs ers

151
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.839
know each other. We don't know each other, but we

152
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.240
know each other. You can see the BS coming from

153
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.759
around the corner. It's what we do. So Wallace talked

154
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.759
about being on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He

155
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.720
killed the first night and was invited back on the

156
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.879
show three more times, but he said he never got

157
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.879
the wave over to the couch. As George tells it,

158
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.720
I never got invited over to the couch, but I

159
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.040
found out something. He recalls a story he heard from

160
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.720
the manager of band leader Doc Severnson. So, as the

161
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.040
story goes, Carson quote didn't get along with unquote people

162
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.000
of color. Wallace started to notice that he wasn't the

163
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.959
only black comedian who do not get called over to

164
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.920
the couch. He points out that Red Fox never guest

165
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.959
hosted the Tonight show to fight the fact that the

166
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.839
studio was next door, and shares a story about being

167
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.079
backstage with What's Happening star Shirley Hymnfel when she got

168
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.879
bumped from a scheduled appearance. She said f Johnny Carson

169
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.040
as loud as she could and chatted, I'll never do

170
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.240
this effing show again. Wallis recalled that with a laugh

171
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.439
in the shake of his head. Did it bother Wallace

172
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.680
when he realized he may have been treated differently by Carson?

173
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.040
Of course it did, because when you do in the

174
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.600
show and you get nineteen applause breaks, that warans you

175
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.560
to say hello. At least. I just find it interesting.

176
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.480
I have no idea what the breakdown of comedians waved

177
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.040
over to the couch is or not. Will reach out

178
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.759
to Mark Malcoffee, used to do the Carson podcast. I

179
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.240
will do that as soon as we're done recording here.

180
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.879
You know, out of one hundred comedians, did two get

181
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.639
waved over? Did five? Did ninety nine? I don't know

182
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.800
of the two, five or ninety nine that got waved over.

183
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.199
I don't know what gender they were. I don't know

184
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.160
their background. I don't know the religion. I don't know

185
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:41.560
what state they were from. I don't know if they

186
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.319
were British, I don't know if they were. Drew carry

187
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.360
with classes he got waved over, but so I don't know.

188
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.839
I also don't know, never mind getting waved over what

189
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.720
the booking look like. So that's a fair question. Caleb

190
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.079
Heern did a show at the University of Arkansas and

191
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.519
The Arc Traveler caught up with him. Caleb explained, the

192
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.839
politics came to me so early and so naturally because

193
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.920
I up fat, gay, and poor in Missouri. Casual racism

194
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.480
and homophobia made him political at a very young age.

195
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.199
Politics dictates the whole of our lives, especially if you're

196
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.439
somebody who has marginalized identities. He says he focuses on

197
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.600
causes rather than candidates. He works with housing and the

198
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.879
Kansas City Tenant Union here and explains, I think hopelessness

199
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.639
is a very privileged perspective. I don't really have time

200
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.439
for hopeless people. The people I know that of the

201
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.120
most hope are doing the most, and that's what you

202
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.680
need to do, especially if you have more privileged identities.

203
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.639
We get to this one. I've bounced this a few times.

204
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.240
The show's been so busy, and I just bumped four stories.

205
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.440
Right now, let's hit gossip corner. Apparently there was some

206
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.720
speculation regarding Jamie Fox, who I used to work with.

207
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.879
I'm not going to say we were best friends or anything,

208
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.720
but I clearly worked with him and in the room

209
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.519
with him. I had many conversations with him. Anyway, there

210
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.799
was speculation about an alleged illegitimate son. On March third,

211
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.919
Jamie's nephew p J Stick to his Instagram account and

212
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.679
shared a story indicating that Uncle Fox has no son.

213
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.039
Jay also added the decline this person of being called

214
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.240
a son would be him and no one else. I

215
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.600
don't remember Jamie having a nephew, but I have not

216
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.399
worked with Jamie in probably fifteen years at this point,

217
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.039
so PJ. I don't know how old PJ is, but

218
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.559
he could have been three. You know, is now eighteen

219
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.799
years old. So that I don't remember a nephew doesn't

220
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.159
mean anything. I'm just telling you my personal experience, because

221
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:21.480
if you listen all the time, you know that I

222
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.720
kind of sort of know Jamie a little bit. Anyway.

223
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.240
A man on Twitter had alleged Jamie to be his

224
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.720
father and accused him of not being a nurturing parent.

225
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.799
Now that I will speak to having been around Jamie

226
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.279
and family members, he's a family guy. Just trust me

227
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.159
all that. I'm not going to tell you things that

228
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.879
were probably private. I've seen it with my own eyes.

229
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.679
Jamie Fox, Eric Bishop is a family guy. PJ began

230
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.600
his video laughing over the rumors, suggesting they're all baseless,

231
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.360
but there's a twist. Currently, after pj's video, the accuser

232
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.240
took to his own YouTube channel, suggesting that Fox to

233
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.600
go over a month's respond to the claims, further adding

234
00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:59.720
that he is grateful that PJ and Fox cleared this

235
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.960
up because he was joking about the alleged marks. He

236
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.679
shared a video of an apology for Fox and his family.

237
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.039
I don't know what's going on there. James Acaster has

238
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.480
confirmed that his Channel four show was axed after a

239
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:15.279
disastrous pilot and says everything went wrong. A castor hosted

240
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.360
a sixty minute episode of People Person. On that show,

241
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.840
a panel of comedians guess which member of the public

242
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.320
from a lineup is the answer to each question. A

243
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.720
castor said he did well on social media, but will

244
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.200
not be turned into a full series. He explained, it

245
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.080
was three hours of filming and I'd say everything went

246
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.679
wrong that could have gone wrong. At one point I

247
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.320
said to the audience, I think what they should do

248
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.960
is just take these three hours, cut them up in

249
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.519
a six half hours in real time, and put it

250
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.360
out as a series. He elaborated the pilot episode and

251
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.200
went from having four members of the public and four

252
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.759
panelists having twenty members of the public on stage behind

253
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.000
me as well. Several things went wrong, including wrestler breaking

254
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.600
a sugar glass vase too soon, which led to retakes

255
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.080
in the Need for First Daid that caused Phil Wang

256
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.159
to laugh with quote tears streaming down his face and

257
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:01.559
out of Austin The Adults comedy animated series Fellowship will

258
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.879
be presented by Starburns Industries. You know Starburns. They have

259
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.879
created things like Community and Rick and Morty. Starburns Industries

260
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.960
will provide the screenplay fellowship winner, industry guidance and an

261
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.960
inside look to Starburns Industry's development process through a six

262
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:19.399
month fellowship program. It's also a five hundred dollars cash prize.

263
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.559
That's an interesting number, right. I wonder if there's some

264
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.960
reason they have to do five hundred to five hundred

265
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.799
dollars cash prize and up to five hundred dollars an

266
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.320
airfare and up to five hundred dollars in lodging travel

267
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:33.039
allowance to attend the twenty twenty five Austin Film Festival

268
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.759
October twenty third through the thirtieth. Starburns Industries reps will

269
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.360
read the category's top scripts to determine the winner and

270
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.440
provide feedback on the winning script. Pretty cool. That is

271
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.440
your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,

272
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.480
tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

273
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.559
It's been busy lately, which is great for me. You know,

274
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.679
it's always good to bounce stuff from the script. Then

275
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.519
they have to go, all right, let me google Nikki Glanzer,

276
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.480
Bill Burndichappell. It's much easier to do it this way,

277
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.960
so I'm having fun. See Tomorrow.
