00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.720
Callaroga Shark Media. Don't go calling what Mark Maren does

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.640
an interview show? Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with a robust

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.800
Sunday edition of Daily Comedy News. More from Maren with

4
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.679
the Hollywood Reporter. Maren's as it's not an interview show.

5
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:23.239
I needed to be in that show, and it was

6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.559
instinctial to insert myself into the conversations. It took some

7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.239
people a little time to adjust to that. They were

8
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.760
used to interview shows, and I've never ever seen it

9
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.759
as an interview show. They asked if Maren envies any

10
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.280
of the one hundred million dollar plus deals that some

11
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.719
other folks have gotten. Maren said, we did all right, definitely,

12
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.439
well enough for us to live the rest of our lives.

13
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.240
But those kind of deals come with extreme responsibility. Why

14
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.000
would I want to start scrambling now? The Holly Reporter

15
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.200
writes he'll mock the podcast industrial complex, but Maren's also

16
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.920
happy to play the mayor. Between a meeting in July

17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.920
and a phone call two weeks later, Maren guessed that

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.840
on no fewer than nine podcasts, the conversation changes to

19
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.560
you unnamed podcasters. But the Holly Reporter says, there's little

20
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.319
doubt he's talking about Rogan Schultz and THEO Vaughn. Maren says,

21
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.280
how they became the orbiters of what comedy shood or

22
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.560
shouldn't be as an effing nightmare. This anti woke idea

23
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.280
around free speech with comedians is bs. Whether they knew

24
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.719
it or not, they were being used by the right

25
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.000
to push this anti woke agenda which is now disassembling

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
every progressive policy. They're responsible. I can't let them off

27
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.599
the hook for that, even if some of them are

28
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.799
kind of backpedaling now. As for the future, maren says,

29
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.079
my social life has really been the podcast, mostly in

30
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.120
comedy clubs. I'll probably go back to AA meetings for

31
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.359
a bit of support to not spiral out with the isms,

32
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.159
as they call it. But I don't do dinner parties.

33
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.040
No one invites me anywhere. I don't vocation with friends.

34
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.760
I need to nourish more relationships. Does he want to

35
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.159
be invited out more? Yeah? I won't want to do it,

36
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.000
but once I'm there, I'll be good. I think that

37
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.200
some people like to have me around. Maybe this is

38
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.200
all the change talking. Maybe I'm just an old man

39
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.879
yelling at the burning sky helf. Cosmetics is catching heat

40
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.120
for including Matt Rife in their latest campaign. People are

41
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.959
bringing up Matt Rife's domestic violence joke from his twenty

42
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.719
twenty three Netflix special I will be honest here. I

43
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.879
had forgotten about that joke. People on social media are

44
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.919
mad at ELF Cosmetics for including Matt Rife, who they

45
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.199
claim does not respect women. One person wrote, bruh, not

46
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.120
matt Rife. I love y'all as a brand, but Matt

47
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.280
Rife is not a good person. Nicki Glazer told Variety

48
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.159
that society glamorized not eating. Nicki said, the most notable

49
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.080
thing you could do was to not eat or follow diet,

50
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.840
and I was like, Okay, finally I'm good at something.

51
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.560
But it started killing me. This next part's pretty serious.

52
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.240
In college, she said, I didn't want to get better.

53
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.759
I didn't have any reason to because I was like,

54
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.560
my life sucks. I kind of went off to college

55
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.360
to die. Was my path to suicide pretty much, because

56
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.759
I look so freakish. I just turned my personality up

57
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.199
real high because I needed to make friends. I was

58
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.599
more funny, more outgoing and always telling stories. I was

59
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.159
louder than I've ever been in my life. She started

60
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.319
to get feedback about how funny she was. There was

61
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.400
a poster for a stand up showcase. A friend took

62
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.240
the sign and ran into my dorm room, slammed it

63
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.680
on my desk and said, you're doing this. She started

64
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.879
doing research, came across Sarah Silverman. Glazer said, she gets

65
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.360
to be yourself and you want to be friends with her,

66
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.000
and she also seems like a nice person, but then

67
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:03.840
she gets to say these really weird, out of context,

68
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.680
terrible things, and he still like her. That fascinated me.

69
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.639
She eventually winds up on Last Comic Standing and says,

70
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.599
I thought I had arrived. I thought things were starting

71
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.120
to come in, and they didn't. I had to move

72
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.759
back home with my parents. She did smaller rooms, appeared

73
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.840
on some podcasts, started participating in roasts and said I

74
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.639
didn't want to do another roast because I was approaching

75
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.240
forty and I don't want to get called an old

76
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.080
horse faced horror over and over. It hurt my feelings

77
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.439
every time I did a roast previously. Then she heard

78
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.120
about the Tom Brady roast and away we go. She

79
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.879
pitched herself as the Tom Brady of roasting and says,

80
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:36.879
I don't even know what that meant, but I stand

81
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.800
by it now because as I researched Tom Brady, I

82
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.759
learned how he was kind of underrated. He was good,

83
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.520
but like the one hundred and fifth draft pick. But

84
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.840
he trained perfectly and optimized every moment of his life

85
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.039
to make sure that when he stepped down on the

86
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.159
field he could be as good as possible, and he

87
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.000
didn't take any shortcuts. I always thought that talent was

88
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.840
something you were born with or not, but I've learned

89
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.360
you can be great at things if you just work

90
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.879
harder than anyone else. Not sure that's true. Part of it.

91
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.400
You got to have the charisma. I got to have

92
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.680
the look. I'm not sure I agree there, Nicki Glazer.

93
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.639
Nicki says Tom Brady changed my life. The next day

94
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.400
I started seeing headlines, started being recognized everywhere. Things went

95
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.639
back to normal within three days. But it was twenty

96
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.800
years to being an overnight success. Yep, you hear that

97
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.360
a lot with comedians. Glazer says, there's a lot more

98
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.199
interest in me from the industry over the past couple

99
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.680
of years. Now I'm in a position where people want

100
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.040
to develop things around me. One of her dreams is

101
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.120
to be on White Lotus. Leanne Morgan tell's time people

102
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.519
want authenticity and they want to learn who somebody really is.

103
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.040
I think that's my advantage. People accuse her of doing

104
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.959
a fake accent because they can't pinpoint where it's from.

105
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.600
Her first husband had suggested she get diction lessons. She says,

106
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.759
I know it's thick, but I think it's made me

107
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.120
stand out. Nate Pergetzi says her accent is her accent,

108
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.519
and that adds the flavor. As recently as twenty eighteen,

109
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.399
club owners were turning her way. She says. Club owner said,

110
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.160
we love her. She doesn't get drunk and fight in

111
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:54.639
the parking a lot, but we're not having her back.

112
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.600
She can't sell a ticket. She's happy that she got

113
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.879
famous in her fifties, but I'm too tired. Something awful.

114
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.480
Billboard talked to Sebastian Manascalgo about Pete Corielly the Gator.

115
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.759
Pete hates that nickname. Jim Brewer had tagged Pete with

116
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.000
that nickname when Pete was the co host on Jim

117
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.959
Brewer unleashed paraphrasing here, it's because Pete has big teeth

118
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.480
and he would all of a sudden come out of

119
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.279
nowhere and bite you with. He was like a sniper

120
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.800
on the show. Jim would tell ten twelve minute stories

121
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.680
and Pete would come in and say one line and

122
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.040
get the bigger laugh. Pete's fantastic, Sebastian said, we've been

123
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.399
doing the Pete and Sebastian Show about twelve years. We

124
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.519
started it out of the sheer enjoyment of calling one

125
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.439
another on the phone and laughing. I said, you know what,

126
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.360
we should record these phone conversations because if we're cracking up,

127
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.399
I'm sure other people would crack up. Pete's more of

128
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:43.560
a beer and peanuts Neanderthal, and I'm more of a

129
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.639
wan and cheese guy who likes the finer things in life.

130
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.360
That's a great description of Pete Corielly. At first we

131
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.160
were just doing audio. He'd be in a car inside

132
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.040
of Starbucks, ripping Wi Fi off the Starbucks, and I'd

133
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.120
be in a hotel room in Denver. It's not guest driven.

134
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.160
We've had maybe twelve or thirteen guests on our show

135
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.879
over the course of twelve years. It was just two

136
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.680
guys talking. We're not making a dime, but it's always

137
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.759
been a passion project for us. Yelly Times talked to

138
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.199
Charlie Day about shaving off his beard for a gag

139
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.439
in the current season, it's always sunny. It's having a renaissance.

140
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.839
It's like they turned back time. This feels like a

141
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.480
vintage season. I don't know what happened. A lot of

142
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.600
people think it's because they did the podcast and it

143
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.079
got them revisiting the earlier seasons. But you know, I

144
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.879
wonder what we have to season seventeen, the Ireland season

145
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.399
was off but COVID and last year was okay. There

146
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.639
were a couple funky seasons, but this season's On point

147
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.120
of shaving, Charlie Day said, it was horrible just to

148
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.319
see how old the man is under the beard. Once

149
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.759
you take off the eyebrows, that's when it really starts

150
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.399
to look freaky. We had that idea, and we knew

151
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:39.720
we had to shoot at last, because if I was

152
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:41.759
gonna shave, that'd be the last thing we're gonna shoot.

153
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.879
Right after we wrapped, I went on a little vacation

154
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.240
with my wife and son and I rarely got recognized,

155
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.920
which is funny. Every now and then people were fans

156
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.759
of the movie Pacific Rim because I didn't have a

157
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:52.800
beard in those movies, they'd be like, Hey, where you been?

158
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.240
Were you not working? The funny thing is I couldn't

159
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.160
unlock my cell phone with that look because I look

160
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:02.160
so different. All right, let's click on this. Vulture did

161
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.000
a list of the best comedy specials of twenty twenty

162
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.079
five so far. This was last updated on August six.

163
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.120
Let's just fly through it real quick and see what

164
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.959
they're into. Mark Maren Panic. Yep, but I have that

165
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.920
at the top my list for this year. Steph Tolev's

166
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.680
filth Queen didn't do it for me. Let's go at

167
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.720
Kotska's father was okay. I liked your previous special better,

168
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.199
Mike Berbiglia The Good Life. I just don't enjoy the

169
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.519
Mike Berbiglia specials. I liked it twenty five years ago

170
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.439
when he just did stand up. But I get if

171
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.519
people like Burbiglia, Brent Weinebox popular culture is on YouTube,

172
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.680
I've not seen that one. Vulture writes for every new

173
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.519
cohort of clubby Punchline comedians and truth telling trauma explorers,

174
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.600
somewhere a weirdo rises. In this case, it's Wineboch doing

175
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.720
a bizarre smattering of impressions. With no coherent design except

176
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.439
that they're all odd mashups and off center angles, regularly

177
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.759
designed as setups with little payoffs. That sounds like my

178
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.360
kind of special. I will have to get to that.

179
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.160
I also have to watch Borbosa. I also have to

180
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.199
watch Jim Jeffries on Dropout, Cameron Esposito's Four pill I

181
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.680
haven't seen that because it's on Dropout. I do like Cameron.

182
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.800
They have Bill Burr's Dropped Dead Years on Hulu. I

183
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.240
didn't think that was good at all. Rosebud Baker's The

184
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.360
Mother Load on Netflix. I didn't enjoy that one because

185
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.519
of the back and forth between the two different sets.

186
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.240
I get the gimmick, but it didn't do it for me.

187
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.480
Roy Wood Junior Lonely Flowers. That's way back in January.

188
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.160
That one was pretty good, right all right? So that's

189
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.240
Vulture's list of the best so far. I might as

190
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.959
well open up mine real quick, since we're talking about

191
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.920
it all right ready. Top Tier, Mark Twain, Price Cut

192
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.799
On O'Brien, Shing, Gillis, ESPN Monologue, Tom Sigorre Bad Thoughts,

193
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.720
Mark Marin, Four Tires five, Justin Willman, Magic Lover, Dusty

194
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.120
slay Bert Krascher, Brett Goldstein, Sarah Silverman Voice Mag's been

195
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.000
talking to folks at the fringe. Susan Harrison said the

196
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.120
fringe has definitely gotten bigger and more expensive as the

197
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.120
years have gone on. That means my approach has been

198
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.159
to wait for six years until I could afford it

199
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.960
again financially, but also in terms of energy and time

200
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.519
spent preparing and self producing. I keep saying this every

201
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.159
time I do these fringe stories, inches sounds like a nightmare.

202
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.720
Why does anyone go? It just sounds terrible. You're staying

203
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.200
in like hovels, spending all your money. I don't get it.

204
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.240
For what I mentioned on the back end of a

205
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.159
summer Sunday Daily Comedy News episode, is it worth it?

206
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.679
Her show? Is? Should I still be doing this? At

207
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.039
the Gilded Balloon Appleton Tower PIP at seven point forty,

208
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.240
Eric Idols spoke to The Guardian. They think in the

209
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.960
Python TV shows and movies he seems to be enjoying

210
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.679
himself the most. Eric Idle said some things in Python

211
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.320
were very enjoyable and some were not. Holy Grail was

212
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.279
cold and miserable sometimes that makes it funny. One of

213
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.320
the worst things you could have in comedy is enough money.

214
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.679
Python was quite a lot of arguing and fights, and

215
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.480
good work is often like that. The best thing about

216
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.399
show business is when it's over. I think if you're

217
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.759
enjoying yourself, then you're non acting or giving. You're just

218
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.840
having a good time. Well that's not funny. What was

219
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.679
his favorite project? The Ruddles and spam Alot were both

220
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.879
just fabulous times. One of the things I talk about

221
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.120
in the show I call mock and roll because we're

222
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.200
all the same generation. The art school kids went into

223
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.919
music when we went into comedy. My theory is that

224
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.039
Python is the first group of mock and roll because

225
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.159
we ended up in the Hollywood Bowl just like the Beatles.

226
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:05.720
And I think the second group in mock and roll

227
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.679
was SNL. On the first show I hosted, John Belushi,

228
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.759
impersonated Joe Cocker to his face. They sang together, there's

229
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.360
something magical about that. Eric Idol, are you happy to

230
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.799
be captured by AI for posthumous performances and royalties? Idol

231
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.799
said they don't pay royalties. I always felt we ought

232
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.200
to protect our images. After I saw that tacky commercial

233
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.799
with Fred Astaire and the vacuum cleaner, feel very bad

234
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.639
about that. So I felt that the pythons ought have

235
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.840
done something to protect our image in a way that's appropriate.

236
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.240
But I don't think there's a way that's appropriate. I

237
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.240
have had my image done on one of those extraordinary

238
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.799
machines where forty cameras captured from every angle, was for

239
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.399
a film they wanted to make. But it worries me.

240
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.200
I don't trust AI. I mean, look how many times

241
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.159
you have to correct a word it completely misreads you.

242
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.639
Chat GPT writing essays really bothers me. The point is

243
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.559
to find out what we think, not what the machine thinks.

244
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.240
And that is your comedy news for a summer Sunday.

245
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.559
If you'd like the program without commercials. If you're on

246
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.279
Apple Podcasts, click that banner. It says uninterrupted listening and

247
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.320
for five bucks a month, which is like seven eighteen

248
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.879
cents a day, and listen Scott Beckett, I know you're

249
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:04.720
too cheap to give me seventeen cents. I don't even

250
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:07.720
get the full seventeen cents. Apple keeps thirty percent. So

251
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.039
what's thirty percent of seventeen cents? I don't know. I'm

252
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:11.759
not gonna do math. Let's say, and what is that

253
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.159
like five cents, so there's eleven cents left. And now

254
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:17.960
that math didn't work, leave it in, so there's like

255
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.720
eleven cents left, and then I have to split that

256
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.039
with my partner Mark. I'm getting like a nickel from you.

257
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.279
Scott Beckett Click the Manner uninterrupted listening, Just do it man,

258
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.080
See tomorrow
