00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.000
Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Matt

3
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.599
Riife surprised everybody he shared that he got baptized earlier

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.000
this year. Rife was on the History Hyenas podcast and

5
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.920
said I got baptized in August in a dude's pool.

6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.239
Raife told Hosciannis Papas and Christa Stefano that he didn't

7
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:27.600
grow up in a religious household, but he'd occasionally attend

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.760
church with friends a few times a year. Rife said,

9
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.679
I've never been a super religious person, but when my

10
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.000
grandpa pasked away, something hit me that was like, I'll

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.719
never see this person again, so something has to exist.

12
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.159
I skewed Christian so I started going to church a

13
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.039
little bit more. But he says, I hate church. I

14
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.159
find it excreminatingly boring. But I want to believe in

15
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.520
God and it's obviously a huge part of the process.

16
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.000
Matt Rife, if you're listening, and I know you are,

17
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.159
I'm gonna recommend Deacon Mike's podcast. Deacon Mike's podcast is

18
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.920
called Question of Faith, and Deacon Mike and the crew

19
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.520
they found a good way to like just be like

20
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.560
normal person from the community who also attends church, Like

21
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.480
they did a whole thing in the summer talking about

22
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.680
the church softball league, so it's not like preachy question

23
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.680
of faith. Back to the comedy John, Nicki Glazer was

24
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.799
on CBS this morning earlier in the week. She's getting

25
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.840
ready to host the Golden Globes on January fifth. Nicky's right,

26
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.120
a big wave of press right now. Her PR team

27
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.840
is taking on Nate Bergetzi's a PR team in the

28
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.200
or Super Bowl this weekend. Nate's team put up three

29
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.680
touchdowns yesterday. If you heard yesterday's podcast anyway, here's Nicki

30
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.159
Glazer reached.

31
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.519
Out to Ricky. He called me right away to give

32
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.799
me advice. Within like two minutes of me sending an

33
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.000
email being like, would it be okay if you maybe

34
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.560
copped on the phone for ninety seconds he called me.

35
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.879
I'm like at an airport, ducked in a corridor being like,

36
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.760
oh oh yeah, trying to hear his advice. And his

37
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.599
advice was just be yourself. You're not one of them.

38
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.840
Don't try to walk out there acting like you're an

39
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.799
a lister just because you're invited. You wouldn't be if

40
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.120
you weren't the host, which is a very heals so real,

41
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.840
it's so real, and that's really important. And he also

42
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.239
wrote me and had great advice of you know, their

43
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.439
advice that I chair so much that can only you

44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.120
would only get from someone who had done it was

45
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.360
that the room is super noisy, they're all talking. Don't

46
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.599
try to quiet them down because the audience at home

47
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.800
can't hear them. And I thought that was very valuable

48
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.599
because I would have been out there. I'm not used

49
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.560
to performing for a crowd of people talking. Still, I

50
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.360
would have been like, can everyone take your seats? The

51
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.039
show has begune, you know, And now they just saved

52
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.919
me from that moment, which would really possibly have been

53
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:29.719
an awkward moment.

54
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.360
Yes, if you're a fan of me, I'm the guest

55
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.960
today on the Letterman Podcast. Mike Chisholm and I talked

56
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.599
to comedy for about an hour and a half The

57
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.800
Letterman Podcast wherever you get your shows and if you're

58
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.280
too lazy to click on that, that will be the

59
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.520
January first episode on this feed. But why don't you

60
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.960
give Mike the download no listening. You can listen to

61
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.639
my version, but give them the downloads. It feels good

62
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.360
about himself. There's also a video version of that. If

63
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.919
you want to see how boring John sitting in the

64
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.879
basement looks, you can go on YouTube and check that out.

65
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:03.199
I wouldn't your usual mental image of George Clooney sitting

66
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.560
in a Chase lounge with a microphone recording off Lake

67
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.879
Como in Italy. That's the image you should keep. You

68
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:10.599
don't want to see what this show actually looks like.

69
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.479
There's a reason this is an audio only podcast. Speaking

70
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.560
of David Letterman, he did an interview with GQ and

71
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.800
we learned Dave does meditation. Dave said, yeah, I do

72
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.759
a little meditating. Sometimes I just meditate hoping I fall asleep.

73
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.360
GQ was like, does that work? I can tell you

74
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.919
firsthand it works, but Dave said, yeah, sometimes it does. Yeah,

75
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.639
it's pretty good. When I was working, I would meditate.

76
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.240
Because you're doing five nights a week. You go out tired, sick, lonely, happy, scared.

77
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.240
You gotta go out, Dave, you're doing four nights a week.

78
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.120
There was Friday Night videos for a while, and then

79
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.800
I think when you went to five Days on NBC,

80
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.599
one of the days was on tape and the CBS

81
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.080
Friday night shows were clearly pre tape. You doubled up

82
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.879
one day a week, you gotta go out, and the

83
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.479
meditation sometimes would give you a boost of energy. But

84
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.280
I found when I did it religiously, it just gave

85
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.759
me more energy to be angry. So I thought, well,

86
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.560
this might not be what they're talking about. Dave also

87
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.560
said he took medication. Yeah, yeah, medication. Doctor. The guy

88
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.159
who saved my life begged me to go on an

89
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.879
SSRI because he used to get so upset. And we

90
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.240
had an office, an adjunct office, an office in the office,

91
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.280
I'm sorry, a closet in the office full of telephones

92
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.520
because if things went wrong, I pick up my telephone,

93
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.360
yank it out of the wall and heave it across

94
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.040
the room. And so we had to deal with Westinghouse,

95
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:17.560
and people used to make the phones that have a

96
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.360
regular delivery stops applying us with phone. So that was

97
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.600
a cue that maybe I needed help, GQ. And you

98
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.360
don't have that feeling anymore. I urged your hurl of phone, Dave.

99
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.920
How have I been today, GQ? I haven't seen him

100
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.439
throw one phone? Davey retired? Send me retired? What's a deal?

101
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.040
Dave said, retirement is a myth. Retirement is nonsense. You

102
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.560
won't retire. The human mechanism will not allow you to retire.

103
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:39.920
What do you do? Sit there and wait, give me

104
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.759
the name of the show, Judge, Judy to come on.

105
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.759
As long as you're healthy, you still want to produce,

106
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.720
and you'll find ways too. Once I stopped doing the show,

107
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.519
took me a couple of years to figure it out. Ah,

108
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.519
this is a completely different rhythm, and without the rhythm

109
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.360
that you're customed to, largely unsatisfying. So you gotta find

110
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.720
something that's important to you. Hello, Dave, Hi, I'm podcasting

111
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.639
in the basement for that very reason. I understand. I'm

112
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.439
on the back of my career now, I get it.

113
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.560
But I like doing this show. This show is a

114
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.439
lot of fun, and it gives me a rhythm to

115
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.240
my day. I hear you, David Letterman. Dave, do you

116
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.240
think about the show in general these days? Dave said,

117
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.839
from the day I stopped doing it till last night,

118
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:13.519
two or three times a week I have an anxiety

119
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.959
dream related to the TV show, and it's maddening. It's

120
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.319
just manning the dream is I show up and here

121
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:19.920
I am I'm read do the show. I'm on the

122
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.879
old show's schedule. I've been a rehearsal, I've been a

123
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.240
hair I've been to makeup. I come down and it's

124
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.000
people I don't know looking at me, saying, Okay, we'll

125
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.079
get to it. But what about the audience. I guess

126
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.920
they're here, So it's me in the same mode everyone

127
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.240
else is incomplete, and it's anxiety. It usually wakes me

128
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.839
up at a start. What does he think it means?

129
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.480
I think, as it came to the college, dream of

130
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.720
Oh I forgot where the English building is, or it

131
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.600
could be some sort of psychosis Davis seventy seven. How

132
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.199
much longer will he work for I don't know. Like

133
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.839
I said, I'm surprised at the number that I'm still

134
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.560
doing it now. I think if I start in the

135
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.120
middle of talking to a world famous guest, I fall asleep.

136
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.199
I was doing some show for Netflix a couple of

137
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.759
years ago, and the schedule was ridiculous. We were doing

138
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.720
three shows a night twice, and then three shows another

139
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.720
night twice, and it was insane. And the stage manager

140
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.600
came up to me between one of those shows and

141
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.759
she said, you're gonna have to sit up straight and look,

142
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:04.319
I know you're ehausted, can you sit up straight? And

143
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.560
I thought, ah, maybe that's a sign. So does that

144
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.000
mean he's not doing anything more for Netflix? Interesting anyway,

145
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.480
if you want to hear me talk about Letterman Letterman podcast. Today,

146
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.439
the La Times asked Ronnie Ching, do you think comedy

147
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.240
has the potential to become part of that extremist algorithm

148
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.480
when it comes to how some people view the world

149
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.160
socially politically? Ronnie said, yeah, but that goes both ways,

150
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.680
politically right, some of that type of content can influence

151
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.560
you to go left or right. There's comedy for everybody,

152
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.079
so it can influence you in any direction. I think

153
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.240
what's sadder is guys, and I can speak to straight

154
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.680
men because I'm a straight man sometimes have legitimate grapes

155
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.839
that get kind of focused on and exaggerated by being

156
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.800
on the Internet too much. It's not even about politics,

157
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.439
about losing your mind. It's not about conservative or liberal.

158
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.279
You could lose your mind as a liberal, you could

159
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.240
lose them as a conservative. I think just losing your

160
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.639
mind is very scary. In the new special on Netflix,

161
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.360
which is one of the top of the year, I

162
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.519
will share my Top Specials of the Year list on

163
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.600
the twenty seventh. But Ronnie in this special has a good,

164
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.800
strong political chum. Hilarius has their second special out today,

165
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.680
this one Alana Glazer. They don't seem to be pushing

166
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.560
this one all that much. And that's not me being

167
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.720
catty at the Hulu publicist who won't get back to me.

168
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.399
I'm just not seeing much at all. This is Glazier's

169
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.519
second stand up special. It's called Human Magic on Hulu today.

170
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.720
The only press I had seen was with NPR, and

171
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.680
even that wasn't really about the special, but something interesting

172
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.040
in that interview in PR asked are you good at

173
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.439
knowing when something should end? And Alana said, yeah, I

174
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.720
am with broad City. We had signed a contract of

175
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.519
seven seasons and then we both came to the decision

176
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.959
and ended after five. Abby and I Comedy Essential was like, huh,

177
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.839
but yeah, that's something I would say is elegant about

178
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:45.199
me knowing when things are at their end. CBS has

179
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.959
picked up the pilot for Zorna Zarni Gorg's multi camera comedy.

180
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.160
The sitcom is called Zorna and in Zorna Zarna, Gorg

181
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.879
plays Zarna, a pron immigrant woman who's been raising her

182
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.480
American born kids on Indian values, but now that they're

183
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.519
getting older, it's time for her to focus on her

184
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.720
own American dream. Amy Schumer had a project called kind

185
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.639
Of Pregnant, a comedy movie. It's now scheduled for February

186
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.399
twenty twenty five on Netflix. It follows a woman wearing

187
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.720
a fake baby bump because she's jealous of her best

188
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.040
friend's pregnancy, and leads her into awkward comedic situations. Amy

189
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.120
Schumer has a producer credit, as does Adam Sandler. So

190
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.800
you know it's good. I mentioned yesterday that I've pre

191
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.319
taped a bunch. You know, Holiday's Jonny Mack wants to

192
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.399
take a couple days off, so you probably won't hear

193
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.840
me talking about all in Comedy About Love. That's the

194
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.440
Broadway show that's starring John mullaney. So you'll see a

195
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.360
lot of John Mullaney press next week. So if I

196
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.919
don't talk about it, it's because I pre taped. Malini said,

197
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.960
I like every single thing about Broadway. I like that

198
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:47.799
if you're not on the crew that should move a chair,

199
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.799
you can't move a chair. I like that you run

200
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.000
into everyone else doing shows. I like every single part

201
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.039
of it. Malanie also talked to the Red Carpet about

202
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.639
how fatherhood has changed his comedy. Let's listen to John

203
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:58.600
and we'll take the break.

204
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:03.240
Oh it's much less precise. Oh my god. There used

205
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.559
to be limitless time in the day and tons of

206
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:11.639
sleep to remember every little nuance and syllable of every

207
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.639
little joke that's gone. So I think in some ways

208
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.240
it's benefited from that ten percent less clever, but perhaps funnier.

209
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.200
Kevin Hart will tape his next comedy special Tomorrow and

210
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.480
Sunday at the Adrian Orsch Center for the Performing Orts

211
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.720
in Miami. Ian Lara is taping his special Lapo Swan Rouge.

212
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.600
Did I get my friends right there? I'll leave it

213
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:40.120
in close enough? Who knows? I don't know. Ian Lara

214
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.799
is taping his special Saturday at that place in New

215
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.679
York City. Vince Vaughn's Bad Monkey is getting another season

216
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.679
from Apple TV. You know, I like the Apple guys.

217
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.240
You watch one of their shows, and all their shows

218
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.679
are actually pretty good. They have a pretty good track record.

219
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.879
Plus they renew things onlike Netflix, which you get into

220
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.600
something and they're like, eh, we're not making any more

221
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.279
of it, Well, like Shane Gillis's Tires, Like that's like

222
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.080
ten minutes to make no offense to the writers, but

223
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.279
that wasn't like It's not like they made an Indiana

224
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.039
Jones movie. It's guy sitting around a tire shop riffing,

225
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.399
and they only made six of them, make sixteen episodes

226
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.120
of Tires. Well yeah, anyway, bad Monkey, we'll come back

227
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.960
to Apple TV. It stars Vince Vaughan. They got a

228
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.080
tax credit, so they're gonna film in California. I don't

229
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.039
know how that's gonna work. It's supposed to take place

230
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.480
in Key West. Who knows. The Toronto Guardian caught up

231
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.080
with Kyle Bergstresser. He's been told his comedy style is

232
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.159
a mix of Rory Scovel and Pete Holmes, but describe

233
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.440
it without referencing someone else. I'm like a guy who

234
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.720
does so many stupid act outs that it's basically sketch comedy.

235
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.360
Some of his influences include some Canadians that I haven't

236
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.879
heard of. I'm gonna guess you haven't either, Tim Gray Royan,

237
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.279
Ashdana Smith. Right, you don't know who those are? Andy Samberg,

238
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.279
Nick Kroll, Tim Robinson, Chris Locke, Maria Bamford, Tim Heindeker,

239
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.559
Connor O'Malley, just anyone getting up there and being a

240
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.120
crazy ass. Favorite comedian growing up, here's a curve ball

241
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.399
Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor. I knew I wanted to

242
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.559
smoke cigarettes and be a truth teller just like them.

243
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:04.879
And he says, now it's embarrassing and weird, but my

244
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.960
parents played it pretty safe. For the first comedy I've

245
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.120
ever heard was a Jeff Foxworthy CD that was all

246
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.840
about marriage and rednecks. I listened to it like a

247
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.799
thousand times and showed all my ten year old friends

248
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.919
and we all somehow found it relatable. Also, some cassette

249
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.159
tape in my dad's truck of a Christian comedian, what's

250
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.080
a bit about how God made it so Vegetable's only

251
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.399
taste good when you cook out the nutrients. He was like,

252
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.120
ain't our Lord and save your funny that way? And

253
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.519
I was like, yes, Mark, and I'd like to do

254
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.639
this someday. His favorite comedian now John Mulaney, which is

255
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.000
tough because he showed his behind a little bit in

256
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.360
the last few years. But I've decided that I don't

257
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.799
need my comedian to be coke free or great husband's.

258
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.440
As long as they're not total monsters, I still love them.

259
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.399
Wait did you say that out loud? We're not supposed

260
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.720
to say that out loud. What's your pre show ritual?

261
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.200
Two iced coffees? All right? I like it here, I'll

262
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.159
shake one for you by me a coffee dot COM's

263
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.960
last day like comedy is fift for five push ups?

264
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.200
Not doing that, not even doing five push ups, not

265
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.840
doing one push up, screaming to a bunched up sweater,

266
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.879
do the happy dance, check the hair, quick granola bar,

267
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.000
middle finger to the sky for all my dead friends,

268
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.440
and never bothered to catch a show. Kiss my wife,

269
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.080
put on my show shirt, big glass of sprite, dirt

270
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.320
off the shoulder, dance wife gets another kiss, Give her

271
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.440
the kiss she's begging for more. Big fat sun is

272
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.279
right there. She's got a cool off. He's a very

273
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.360
curious boy. I tell her she's getting it later tonight.

274
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.919
I kneel down. I tell my big Sanchi's perfect just

275
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.360
as she is. I shove him over to remind him

276
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.039
who his boss. Middle figure of the sky again for

277
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.120
all the times God did not provide a shadow box.

278
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.240
My wife shows me over a little playfight that gets

279
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.320
it out of her systems. She'll still get it later

280
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.879
and out the door by seven twenty. The Toronto Guardian said, Okay,

281
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.919
what is it? Really nothing? I usually just get diarrhea.

282
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.279
He's funny, this guy. I have a joke about the

283
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.360
joker and how seriously we take him. I think it's

284
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.600
a pretty good observational thing. But my favorite right now

285
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.759
is a very stupid alternate reality bit about how I'm

286
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.559
protesting Shopper's Drug Mart for selling one kind of toy

287
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.360
and a different kind of toy. That's like a flashlight.

288
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.320
Either know what I mean or you don't. I love

289
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.759
what it says about a certain type of men's right sky,

290
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:59.360
and I love seeing long it takes for the audience

291
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.559
to realize that I'm not actually like that. Sometimes they

292
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.120
never do. How does you find new comedians? You gotta

293
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.240
go to live shows. There's so much pausing and eye

294
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.879
contact and references to earlier sets and slight adjustments to

295
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.240
the vibe that you can't put into recording. No one

296
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.200
will ever be as good in an album or special

297
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.600
or stupid forty five second clip as they are live.

298
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.000
I like this guy a lot. He is Kyle berg Stresser.

299
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.200
Let's keep an eye on him, all right. Christmas is

300
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.960
coming up. Johnny Mack has pre taped a couple episodes,

301
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.000
so put this one on your calendar. If you're in

302
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.600
San Francisco and you're not doing the Christmas thing. On

Pay what you wish level four thirty five bucks, and

325
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.679
then there are tiers. Okay, so it's a pay what

326
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.799
you wish starting at thirty five, and the top tiers

327
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.720
has suggested eighty one. At least that makes sense. I mean,

328
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.960
if you want to be generous, great, But if we're

329
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.759
just charging eighty one dollars for live stream, that's a

330
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.720
little nutty. If you're in Daton, you might want to

talk about Yellowstone for a second. So if you haven't

338
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.679
seen the Yellowstone finale, you don't care, You could check

339
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.120
out and I'll see tomorrow. But for the Yellowstone fans

340
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.240
who saw the finale spoilers coming up, what was that?

341
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.240
I'm not even talking about like what happened to the

342
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.679
Dutton ranch? Fine, kind of saw that coming for three seasons. Now,

343
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.039
yah with shit with that. But let me ask you this.

344
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.399
So John Dutton was the governor and his death is mysterious.

345
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.200
Then on the show, is it what three days day later?

346
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.480
Four days later, the governor's son, who's also the attorney general,

347
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.759
he's missing. So if we're the investigators who haven't actually

348
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.279
seen the show, we think the governor's son has beaten

349
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.480
up his sister and then disappeared. Eventually they're going to

350
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.559
find that he's dead. Now don't you think the governor

351
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.879
were dead and his son, the attorney general, were dead

352
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.120
within three four days? Because I'll remind you, we see

353
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.120
John Dutton's funeral, so it's only been like three four

354
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.200
days in the show. It hasn't been like three months.

355
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.480
I don't think it's a couple days later, maybe a

356
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.279
week later. The governor's dead, his son is dead, the

357
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:20.399
daughter slash sister, she's all beat up and then leaves town. Meanwhile,

358
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.279
the guy that has openly been trying to acquire the

359
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:28.120
ranch to build a casino has somehow acquired the ranch

360
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.399
for a dollar twenty five and acre right after the

361
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.480
ranch owners found dead. The son is dead, and the

362
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.000
sister is beat up and leaves town, and this guy

363
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.120
somehow controls the ranch. It sounds like a mafia thing,

364
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.480
doesn't it. No, we've watched the show. We know Rainwater

365
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.399
didn't do anything wrong. But if I'm an investigator, I'm

366
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.080
looking at Rainwater going, wait, what what on here? Your

367
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.480
enemy is dead, his son is dead, the daughters all

368
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.799
beat up, and let's not forget about the drive by

369
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:57.240
with the attorney who was shot in the car. Taylor Sheridan.

370
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.519
I think he left some loopholes there at the end. Anyway,

371
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:02.159
it was a good show till it wasn't, and I

372
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:07.880
enjoyed hate watching these last six seven episodes. What a mess? Alright,

373
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:08.880
see you tomorrow.
