1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.560
daily comedy news. Tomorrow on this program, one of two

3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.480
things is going to happen. Either I'm gonna tell you

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.120
my guest today is Matthew Bissard, or I'm gonna tell

5
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.399
you how Matthew Bisard canceled. And I have no reason

6
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:22.239
I think he's going to cancel. Well, that's a plan

7
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.719
for tomorrow because I'm taping him in about an hour.

8
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.199
Matt Riife's book came out this week kind of quietly.

9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.079
It took two days for anything on Google to show up.

10
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.320
I had kind of forgotten. I don't know what to

11
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:36.920
make of that, but now he seems to be doing

12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.840
some press. The book is called Your Mom's Gonna Love Me,

13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.920
and he talked about his change in looks. Did Matt

14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.600
Rife have plastic surgery. He claims it was simply puberty

15
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.439
that led to an accelerated appearance change. He writes puberty,

16
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.719
after its sweet time for more than twenty years, finally

17
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.320
decided to hit me square in the face. He claims

18
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:56.880
he went from looking like a thirteen year old to

19
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.280
an actual Grownish man. He says his wider and more

20
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.439
prominent features were all from a bizarrely stunted journey through puberty.

21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.200
People who have accused him of getting classic surgery have

22
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.120
a frightening lack of common sense, and claims that his

23
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.920
attractiveness has negatively affected his career. In the book, he says,

24
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.359
is a comic, you're supposed to make the audience like you, right, Well,

25
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.879
who the f likes attractive people? No one? Okay. He

26
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.719
did an interview with US Weekly. He says he has

27
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.359
no regrets about anything. It's comedy. Sometimes you don't hit

28
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.480
the mark. Plenty of people think I did. He was

29
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.200
referring to the controversial joke in his November twenty three

30
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.400
special Natural Selection. He says, to me, the joke was

31
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.079
just that, a joke. I wasn't trying to make some

32
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.480
kind of profound statement about the state of society. I

33
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:37.760
was trying to set the tone for the rest of

34
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.680
the show via personal spin on a classic joke. He

35
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.000
wrote that practically overnight, and he went from a TikTok

36
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.640
sensation to basically canceled. Maybe it wasn't dear taste. That's fine.

37
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.920
That happens, not to me very often, but it happens.

38
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.200
But that doesn't make me a support of domestic violence.

39
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.879
I mean I grew up with an abusive stepdad. Verbal abuse,

40
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.280
psychological abuse, fiscal abuse I experienced at all. He says.

41
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.439
The only negative thing about the special is that people

42
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.920
were upset. He says it's inevitable with almost any comedian.

43
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.680
We're in the business of making people happy. But I

44
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.400
gotta be me. The immense positivity I received at the

45
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.879
very beginning of my career can't last forever. It sought

46
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.360
me to respectfully not give a hoot. I know my intentions,

47
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.840
I know where my heart lies. Matt turns thirty in

48
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.960
September of twenty five and said this was the perfect

49
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.120
time to release a memoir and show fans the real hymn.

50
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.599
Not only did I feel it necessary to explain more

51
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.479
about my life and everything it took to get here,

52
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.719
but it also feels like I've already lived a lot.

53
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.439
So much of your life when you're in the public

54
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.199
eye is open interpretation. Gave me a chance to tell

55
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.800
my story on my terms. Matt Riife went on the

56
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.599
view Whoopy Goldberg said the book is wonderful and asked

57
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.400
if he recorded the audiobook version. Raife said he did

58
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.199
the audiobook a little lazy, but I respect it. Joy

59
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.919
Behar said the comedians are runner attack now. Raife pointed

60
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.360
out that his close friend Nate Berghetzi, I didn't know

61
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.120
those two were friends. That's fascinating. He says. Nate doesn't

62
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.080
come under the same fire for his jokes, which are

63
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.000
less raunchy. That's where you'd have to decide how much

64
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.400
you want to be yourself and how much you want

65
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.280
to pander to a community that might not even care

66
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.240
about you in the first place. Whoope, Goldberg greed, telling

67
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.960
Rife on the panel that comics are always under fire.

68
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.439
Inlander spoke to David Cross and I asked him about

69
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.439
the people he surrounds himself with. Is that important to

70
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.199
his own creativity? Cross said, well, it's less about importance

71
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.800
and just what I prefer. It's a great thing that

72
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.319
I'm able to do. I mean, I know plenty of

73
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.439
people who aren't creative, but creative people are more fun

74
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.599
to hang out with. He talked about his podcasts and

75
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.680
said for years I didn't do one. I had no desire.

76
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.039
I don't listen to podcasts myself. I have nothing against them.

77
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.240
I just don't occupy my time that way. Then I

78
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.319
started doing it. I loved it. It's really fun. It

79
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.759
is really fun, and they're just conversations. I would have

80
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.400
the why I approach it is what I tell people.

81
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.439
It's just like, imagine we're strangers and we're sitting next

82
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.560
to each other at a pub that kind of conversation. Wow,

83
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.400
it sounds like he went to podcast programming executive school.

84
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.439
One oh one. The amount of meetings I've been in. Oh,

85
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.639
you know, it's just a conversation. Cross, Do you get

86
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.560
annoyed by people who come up and recite arrested development lines?

87
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.719
Cross said, Oh, that's annoying. I've experienced pretty much everything,

88
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.120
and by far most people are cool and respectful, but yeah,

89
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.759
there are plenty of folks that aren't. Good question here,

90
00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:59.719
what's it been like seeing a decent chunk of the

91
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.759
commit landscape shift from alt comedy to alt rights comedy.

92
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.000
I don't know if I agree with the premise. It's

93
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.759
a good question, but there's It's not like alt comedy

94
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.800
went away. Joe Rogan opened a club and Tony Hinchcliff's

95
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.479
podcast took off. That's it, Relax everybody, Cross it Well,

96
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.800
I mean it's depressing because I've never really enjoyed or

97
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.800
take import in comedy that punches down and makes fun

98
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.399
of the disenfranchised or vulnerable out there. That's never been

99
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.759
my thing. So it's a bummer that it's so celebrated,

100
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.800
you know, financially rewarded. I mean, I don't make one

101
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.519
one hundred thirty amount of money that some of those

102
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.839
guys are. But I'm going to do my stuff and

103
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.160
always be me. I've always had a kind of stew

104
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.920
of different stuff. I have very silly jokes. I have

105
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.600
some that are kind of a little offensive. I have

106
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.920
stuff that's anecdotal. I'd say easily a third of the

107
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.160
set is just about anecdotal stuff. This thing happened to me,

108
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.480
or this thing I observed, And then obviously I dip

109
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.279
into the current state of affairs. And there's always going

110
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.279
to be a little religious stuff in there for people

111
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.279
who know my body of work, which there are literally

112
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.560
decades worth of specials and alms and stuff. It's that MOA.

113
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.079
Mayer's show is getting a season two. The show is

114
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.800
called mo. You may remember this one, the Netflix comedy

115
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.399
about a Palestinian immigrant attempting to secure Silomon Houston I

116
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.600
either didn't know or forgot they renewed it. I like

117
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.959
that show a lot. It was very good. The next

118
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.519
batch of episodes spoilers, we'll see Moe stranded across the

119
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.360
border and desperate to get back to Houston before his

120
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.000
family's asylum, hearing he's going to need all the hustle

121
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.000
and charm he can muster. Little does he know that

122
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.000
the journey home is just the start of his troubles,

123
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.680
and there's a new guy in town ready to steal

124
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.800
both his longtime love Maria and his Falafel Tago recipe.

125
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.639
Mo back on Netflix January thirtieth, Moa Mara says, I'm

126
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.120
thankful to continue to tell a universal story of struggle

127
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.920
that relates to so many refugees and millions of underrepresented

128
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.279
humans trying to be seen around the globe. Sarah Silverman

129
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.800
was politically active this fall, supporting the losing candidate. After

130
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.480
the electoral College numbers came in, Silverman said, I thought,

131
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.120
oh God, what am I doing? Why am I on

132
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.959
the road right now? I want to go home, But

133
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.879
being on the road has made her feel better about

134
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.720
the future. Sarah says, it's been really for whatever it's worth,

135
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.920
a bit of a solve. I don't know what fresh

136
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.800
air we're in for, but to be together in a

137
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.839
big group of people at night, it's been nice. Having

138
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.120
that kind of feeling connect on a local level has

139
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.439
been oddly comforting. The optimist in me feels like community

140
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.560
is going to be our savior. Being on tour feels

141
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.920
like the beginnings of that for me. Bill Maher, who's

142
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.560
totally not going to quit his HBO show, Stop dude,

143
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.480
listen to yesterday's podcast, mar is taping his next special

144
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.040
tonight and tomorrow at the CIBC Theater in Chicago. Defector

145
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.519
wrote an article that caught my attention. The headline crowd

146
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.519
work isn't a substitute for comedy? Right there. I love

147
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.839
the article because they've already nailed the premise. Defector writes,

148
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.560
I hate to say it, but the biggest laugh in

149
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.680
James Acaster's new special, Heckler's Welcome, comes from a hackle.

150
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.720
I made it seven minutes into that special, or was

151
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.199
it eight? I can't remember. I think I made it

152
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.160
seven into Jesly Neck and eight into a caster. Either way,

153
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.000
a total of fifty minutes between the two. Didn't enjoy

154
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.639
either one Defector writes fast forward about thirty minutes into

155
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.360
the latest special on the punch line to another a

156
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.160
Caster joke as a guy yelling to a bunch of

157
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.720
bullies that their parents don't love them, to which one

158
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.000
audience member pipes up, my parents are dead. A Caster

159
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.920
is so impressed by the callback that he says, lovely

160
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.399
to have a Heckler in here who appreciates stretcher to

161
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.639
be fair to the audience. Heckler's welcome is in a

162
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.360
Caster's best work. From the title on the setup, you'd

163
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.360
expected to be quite a bit of intervention, and maybe

164
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.879
that's what he was expecting, but there isn't a ton

165
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.600
Yeah that was I can't even get out of sentence.

166
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.160
I'm so perplexed by the special. Yeah, I was watching it.

167
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.480
I'm like, where are the Hecklers, what's going on? Where's

168
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.480
the comedy? And I bailed that life is too short.

169
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.879
I got too much to watch. If you can't get

170
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.160
to it in the first seven eight minutes, I gotta

171
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.319
move on, Defector, right. So I wonder if ay Caster

172
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.240
thought it'd have more to work with by opening the

173
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.160
floor to the Hecklers, But he was a little thrown

174
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.519
off by the relational change to his audience. I'm not sure,

175
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.680
but I know he's usually a lot better than this,

176
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.079
and they recommend that you check out his previous special

177
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.560
Coldasignia Hate Myself nineteen ninety nine for an example. Matt Rife,

178
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.920
that browie comedian who sells out arenas and looks like

179
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.680
he was manufactured by a chad machine. Hey, look, Matt

180
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.720
Rife did not have plastic surgery. He's made that clear. Okay, defector.

181
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.480
He became TikTok famous about six years ago off his

182
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.879
crowd work. I mean, fine, he's quick, but the recurring

183
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.720
Nazi punch lines also seem a little overly available to him,

184
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.560
and explains that these clips allowed you to promote your

185
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.639
gig gun Law without ruining it for anybody who actually

186
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.399
pays to come. It's kipping ahead. Despite CrowdWork being leveraged

187
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.279
in the past by older comics like Todd Barry, who

188
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.519
in twenty fourteen released the crowd Work Tour, newer comedians

189
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.720
say they're expected to produce content incessantly, and releasing audience

190
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.279
interactions allows them to do that without burning material or

191
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.319
SNL Writer and comic Vanessa Jackson sold the new York Times.

192
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.199
The younger crowds, I think enjoy authentic content more than

193
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.319
something that's crafted. Wow, I'm just gonna build a cabin

194
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:25.920
up here on Old Man Mountain then and listen to

195
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.399
Old Kamedy. Colin Jos is out there promoting what is

196
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.800
it pop culture Jeopardy? I keep wanting to say celebrit Jeopardy.

197
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.360
It's pop culture Jeopardy. I actually misspoke that in the

198
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.519
Wednesday episode. Now to use the AI to replace my

199
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.519
own words, you'll hear someone say pop culture jeopard if

200
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.600
you want to go back and hear that at it.

201
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.360
Joe said, I found pop Culture Jeopardy harder than regular Jeopardy.

202
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.799
I was really impressed. You have to know different erarors

203
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.480
really well. You know, I got a trivia on Wednesday night,

204
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:53.360
and part of it is, you know, my crew and

205
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.879
I were reasonably smart and reasonably educated. It depends what

206
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:58.879
the trivia guys pick. Like some nights they hand in

207
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.960
I just called them arian and gro questions and I'm like,

208
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.519
we have no chance tonight because whatever they're into, like

209
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.440
twenty ten's music and I'm like, we don't know any

210
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.320
of this. And then other weeks they ask a lot

211
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.000
of eighties questions and we crush and we went a

212
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.279
T shirt. Joe said, I was fascinated when no one

213
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.159
would know something from the nineties, or no one would

214
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.320
know something from the early two thousands. Maybe that's just

215
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.879
generational because there were a lot of younger groups competing.

216
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.399
Pop Culture is so different for everyone in what sticks

217
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.519
with them, and especially in modern things can get very

218
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.480
divided because in almost in an algorithmic way, your experience

219
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.320
with culture is so fragmented. Joe says, I promise, in

220
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.080
no way am I trying to steal Ken Jennings's job.

221
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.039
He's very good at his job. I also have a job.

222
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.879
He and I texted during the Pop Culture Jeopardy tapings.

223
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.960
Actually he was supportive. What he was saying is true.

224
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.600
There's almost no one that knows what it's like to

225
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.759
host the game. You know, all those crazy specific things

226
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.120
you have to do in every game and we keep

227
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.000
track of. In addition of just what seems like normal

228
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.919
hosting stuff, the gameplay of it is so specific and

229
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.159
fast and precise that it's just an experience that almost

230
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.080
no one gets to have. It's like talking to someone

231
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.399
who used to host Weekend Update. It has its own

232
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.879
vocabulary and its own experience. That's very specific. He used

233
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.039
to host Weekend Update. Well, he has released a deluxe

234
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:10.960
edition of his Holiday Seasoning Christmas album. He added nine tracks. Now, Jimmy, dude,

235
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.639
what if I bought this thing three weeks ago? Say,

236
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.679
I spent fifteen bucks and now you're like, here's nine

237
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.799
more tracks. I mean, I have Apple Plus, so I

238
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.679
don't care. It's all unlimited streaming for me, except for

239
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.240
that pesky monthly payment. But you know, if I had

240
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.279
actually bought a CD or a cassette or an a

241
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.759
track and now you drop nine more songs, come on,

242
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.879
that's not cool. Who did this? The new tracks are

243
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.240
called Christmas Alone. The Elves are unionizing Broadway. Do you

244
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.759
remember today at Christmas time? Remember Christmas with Lang Lang,

245
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.559
Elvis on the Shelvis Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, and

246
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.120
Holiday with the Jonas brothers in el Cooljay. And that's

247
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.039
your comedy news for today. All right, tomorrow Matthew Brissard

248
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.039
or not, so come back and find out what happens now.

249
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.200
I have no reason to think that he's going to cancel.

250
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.600
Sometimes with these tape things, the comedians forget and it's

251
00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.879
all good. I understand. It's a dude in the basement

252
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.240
recording podcasts, and they forget. I feel like I'm throwing

253
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.360
Basarda under the bus. He's done nothing wrong. I don't know.

254
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.519
It's one o two pm and I'm recording with him

255
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.240
at three point thirty. Anyway, come back tomorrow and we'll

256
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:10.600
find out what happened. See you then,
