00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.279
Caloroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.880
Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news, a

3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.079
daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry.

4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.039
So much to get to today and tomorrow and tomorrow

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.920
is going to be very political. Consider yourself quite warned.

6
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.559
Let's start with Nicky Glazer. Now, last night she hosted

7
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.760
that Time one hundred most influential people. Think we'll get

8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.280
to that over the weekend, but she was also on

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.920
Good Morning America, and I want to start here and

10
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.320
all let's listen together as we hear all the cool

11
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.640
get totally sucked out of Nicki Glazer. You can just

12
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.359
feel it rushing out of here as she talks to

13
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.920
the folks on Good Morning America. Let's listen. She has

14
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.240
a new standard special called Good Girl.

15
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.119
Some people think I'm bath. I just want to be like, well,

16
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.119
there's like, you know, this material in the special is

17
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.120
like it shows you both sides of it of like,

18
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:06.920
you know, growing up as a woman, you're just told

19
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:08.640
like you need to be a good girl and behave

20
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.799
and fall in line. And then there's this part of

21
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.760
me that's always just loved speaking freely and openly and

22
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.079
saying my truth. But then you know, sometimes that just

23
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.040
makes people think like, oh, she's naughty, she's bad, you know,

24
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.000
like even coming on here, they're like, you know, this

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.480
is a PG show, and I'm like, like, you know,

26
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.400
like they don't know what I'm gonna do because I've

27
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:27.719
been bad before, but I can.

28
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:32.359
Yeah, just.

29
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.840
Star somewhere's the Sweating bowet.

30
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.079
Can we take a look at a PG version clip?

31
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.519
Yes, I think we found one.

32
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.680
Okay, it was hard, But.

33
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.760
What I don't want when I get a facelift is

34
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.159
anyone being like, that's so sad she did that? Why

35
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.719
does she do that? And the answer is is because

36
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:54.480
it's gonna lead to a better life for me. I'm

37
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.159
on TV a lot, I'm gonna look amazing, I'm gonna

38
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.439
get better roles. I'm gonna get paid more for those roles.

39
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.959
I'm gonna get fire emojis from Kristin Cavaleri, Like it's

40
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:06.959
do you know how good it feels to have Boen

41
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.319
Yang write DIVA with nineteen a's underneath the picture of

42
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.759
you looks like he just fell asleep on the keyboard

43
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.039
because I was so slay.

44
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.919
I get that once again, so relatable. Oh my god,

45
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.400
so relatable. Right, I've got more from that whole interview,

46
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.599
But boy, that does not sit well with me. It

47
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.599
just it's so forced. Nicki's new special, Good Girl is

48
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.960
out on Hulu today. Now you know my take on

49
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.159
the Hulu specials. The Hulu specials, the one you get

50
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.159
when you're slightly past peak. Prove me wrong down the list,

51
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.639
tell me the one that doesn't count. Nicki said, I

52
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.159
couldn't be proud or of my fifth hour special, Good Girl.

53
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.560
I put everything I had into this hour of material. Luckily,

54
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.520
for me, so did everyone who worked on it with me.

55
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.280
I truly saved the best for fifth Good Girl was

56
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.120
developed and honed over two years on the road. It

57
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.840
over two hundred and fifty shows, and it was one

58
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.159
of the best nights of my life to get to

59
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.599
perform this show for the very last time in my

60
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.879
hometown of Saint Louis in front of family friends. And

61
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.039
I already missed these jokes, so I can't wait for

62
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.240
them to have a second life again. Eddie Murphy was

63
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.800
honored at the fifty first AFI Life Achievement Awards at

64
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.439
the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. A lot of people

65
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.639
showed up for him. Kevin Hart opened up the tribute

66
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.039
to Eddie Murphy, saying he's our power, he's our friend,

67
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.039
and even you white people think he's your friend. And

68
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.039
he's done a lot to show you he's different. He's

69
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.360
given us the gift of laughter across generations. Stevie Wonder

70
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.360
got a standing ovation and said Eddie finds our common

71
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.719
funny bone and allows us to show how much we're alike.

72
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.800
We found each other because he would imitate me. On

73
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.199
Saturday Night Live, he made fun of a blind man

74
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.240
and he made the world laugh. Stevie then did an

75
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.120
impression of Eddie's impression of him, which got big laughs

76
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.960
from the crowd. Chris Rock said that without Eddie, many

77
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.520
of the people in the audience might not exist. He said,

78
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.879
like Brendo, you're the first black man, and just be cool,

79
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.719
to just be yourself. It was just you. Mike Myers

80
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.840
came out in Shrek makeup and said, I never got

81
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.680
to work with Charlie Chaplin, I never got to work

82
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.960
with Alec Guinness, I never got to work with Peter Sellers.

83
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.120
But is my absolute honor to say and be but

84
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:01.599
to tell my kids that I got to work with

85
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.000
Eddie Murphy. Eddie himself said, I just turned sixty five.

86
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:06.840
Sometimes I'll let you wait until you're really old to

87
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:08.680
get this award. Mel Brooks was eighty six when he

88
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.919
got it. Francis Ford Coppolo was eighty six as well.

89
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.159
The oldest person ever get up here was Lillian Gish.

90
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.319
She was ninety two. She was very gracious when she

91
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:17.639
came out and got the ward. If you made me

92
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.560
wait until I was ninety two, I would have come

93
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.160
out here and said, if everybody Dave Chappelle gave a

94
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.160
nice speech, this is a little long. I've made a

95
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.199
couple of minor edits for language, a little.

96
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.079
Cultural inside baseball.

97
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.279
I know this is true for me.

98
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.040
I think this is true for many Black people. Often

99
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.319
have fear for their heroes. You worry about them because

100
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:45.759
so many of our heroes a persecuted or or shot down.

101
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:51.120
When I was fourteen years old, Role came out and

102
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.959
I would go in and would watch it every day

103
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.800
after school like I was taking a class, like I

104
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.120
knew somehow this this was something really important in my life.

105
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.160
Throughout my wife Eddie Man, I kept my hole on you.

106
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.279
You would the ball I was washing, You would the

107
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.160
hero that I worried about.

108
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.240
Man, when you came up, it looked lonely.

109
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.680
It was just by yourself.

110
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.639
It was you, It was Michael Jackson, it was Rick James,

111
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.040
and it was Prince all of whom all home on deceased,

112
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.360
and somehow, somehow.

113
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:34.279
You survived Tonight. When I came into the theater to

114
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.959
do this thing, man, I saw a bunch of my

115
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.120
hero for Saul Martin and our sit here with Robert

116
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.120
Towns and all these people and for my life, and

117
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.160
saw you, Chris, and I'm like, man, this is crazy.

118
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:46.759
All the.

119
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:55.720
Sole survivor. As I'll circle back to Dave in a second.

120
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.920
Bill Burr also got up there also along also edited

121
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.560
for language.

122
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:08.399
Reverse diversity, higher for the evening staying at backstage, I'm

123
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.759
going on after Stevie. Wonderful. This is what I get

124
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:22.399
for going over to Hulu. I'll never forget this. Right

125
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:28.000
here is my entire comedy Smithsonian Library. I've been watching

126
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:29.000
him since day one.

127
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:29.560
Eddie.

128
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.439
When I first I want your first album, I didn't

129
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.480
even know who you were yet the rose behind your

130
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.199
ear and I had been listening to Richard Pryor and

131
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.279
I was just like, well, here's another black guy, he

132
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.040
must be funny too, So I bought it and I

133
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.839
became a fan. And a lot of people don't know this,

134
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.319
but I actually saw Eddie on the Raw tour.

135
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.360
I was only eighteen years old and I was really

136
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.199
getting into stand up, but I never thought it could

137
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:57.759
be a comedian.

138
00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:58.920
It was the day's before the.

139
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.240
Internet seemed a million miles away, and I went to

140
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.839
go see like the Weather Girls opened up, I remember that,

141
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.240
and I went with my boss from the warehouse and

142
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:09.079
he did a bunch of.

143
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.160
Blows and he thought he was gonna have a heart attack,

144
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.160
and he's like, I gotta get out of here, and

145
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.360
I'm like, well, we're not missing Eddie's you gotta ride

146
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:25.600
this shopping. So so, like two weeks before I went

147
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.160
to see Eddie, I saw Rodney Dangerfield the same place,

148
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.959
a break Woods Universally Antitheater, and it was an all

149
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.399
white crowd, which didn't strike me as weird because I'm

150
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.959
white as hell. And I just sat and I watched him.

151
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.000
It was all good. And I remember when Eddie did

152
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.480
his show, I immediately noticed that he was making everybody laugh.

153
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.279
And I hadn't even thought about being a comedian. But

154
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.560
then it would get stuck with me, and I was thinking, like,

155
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.240
you know, this guy's he's doing it, he's making everybody laugh.

156
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.240
If I haven't become a comedian, that's what I'm gonna do.

157
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.000
So a few years later I become a comedian and

158
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.360
I'm like, I'm gonna be like I'm gonna go out

159
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:02.319
before of a black crow.

160
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.639
And I went.

161
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.959
Up when I did my thing, and I got off

162
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.360
stage and I was like, I am.

163
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:11.360
Never gonna do that again.

164
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.519
Black people are me. They don't let you get to

165
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:21.480
the stage. They already heckle. They are going to have

166
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.439
a good time with or without you.

167
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.519
That is what I learned well.

168
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.399
In that education that you gave me, and for me

169
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.480
as a comedian that I wanted to make everybody laugh.

170
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.200
You've been such an amazing, amazing inspiration. I totally think

171
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.519
you're ardably the most talented guy who's ever been in

172
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.600
this business. I don't think there's anything you can't do,

173
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.480
and I'm looking forward to more of your work. I

174
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.320
love you to death. Thank you so much. And who's

175
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.440
an honor to work me? The brother Charlie Bressing piece,

176
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.960
good night, Thank you.

177
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.759
Enan Thompson said for me personally as someone who grew

178
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.080
up dreaming about making people laugh. Eddie wasn't just an

179
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.679
influencious proof, proof that you could come in young, take

180
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.440
big swings, streuss your voice, and leave a mark the

181
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:02.000
last decades. Tracy Morgan said, one of the greatest performers

182
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:03.720
ever is going to be playing in a sketch with me.

183
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.320
My god, what if he's funnier than me? And as

184
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.960
we all know, Eddie Murphy does an incredible Tracy Morgan,

185
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.879
Eddie Murphy did more for red leather outfits and cowboy

186
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.519
boots than any black man in history. Now, I said,

187
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:18.240
I'd circle back to Chappelle. Dave talked about bringing back

188
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.440
Chappelle's Show recently.

189
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.440
I did an interview that made head last because I

190
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.679
said I was considering doing Chappelle's Show again. And I

191
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.279
told him, I said, if you'd asked me that a

192
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:29.360
year ago, out and say, you.

193
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.600
Know, Chappelle's Show was a very difficult.

194
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.679
Show to do, but it was one of the greatest

195
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:35.679
experiences in my life.

196
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.600
And one of the reasons that it was great was

197
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.000
your brother Charlie.

198
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:46.600
Yeah, and I don't do this bit, but.

199
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.480
Charlie used to tell us stories all day about your.

200
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.840
Ascension fame, and I.

201
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.879
Just want you to know, man, every time he mentioned you,

202
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.679
he always said how cold he was A he man,

203
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.759
he said, I done, you know, And and Charli met

204
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.159
the world to everybody on the said A couple of

205
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.399
weeks ago on when I reached out to Eddie and

206
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.519
asked him if I could come by and businessman and

207
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:13.960
I went.

208
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:14.320
Through his house.

209
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.519
I didn't know it was the day after his sixty

210
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:17.279
fifth birthday.

211
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:23.600
What was beautiful His grandkids were outside of playing in

212
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:27.000
the pools, laying and laughing like like you know children.

213
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:28.159
Was pure joy.

214
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.840
And me and Eddie for the first time talked about

215
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.559
Charlie since he passed. I hadn't seen him or really

216
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.120
had an occasional to speak about it.

217
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.840
And in the midst of the conversation Eddie, Eddie was.

218
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.440
The one that said, thing you should do like a

219
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.000
Chappelle show movie.

220
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.559
Or something like that.

221
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.720
And I said, and I said, man, that would be

222
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:55.440
tough that your brother, so let it. If I do it, Man,

223
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.840
do Charlie Parks.

224
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.159
And that job away.

225
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.320
Can you imagine if Chappelle's show comes back and Eddie

226
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.039
Murphy is on it, that will be amazing. In other news,

227
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.320
Netflix and Stavros Alkiis they announced a deal. Stavros will

228
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.639
do a comedy special titled Uncle Stove. He'll tape it

229
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.639
in Baltimore tonight and tomorrow. That was quick. John Mulaney's

230
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.840
wrapping up a week in London. The folks at the

231
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.879
Times went to go see him. They compared this show

232
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.240
to the previous show Baby Jay, which detailed how mulaney

233
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.399
had been leading a double life of drug addiction. The

234
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.879
Times writes, this new show, mister whatever is the sword

235
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.240
had settled in, I hate to say it lesser what

236
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.720
came next spoilers. John gives a quick topical overview of

237
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.000
his homeland that suggests great things ahoy and amusingly mean

238
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.879
takedown if Jeff Bezos celebrates how billionaires are now at

239
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.440
least blatantly bad on the surface. But after that electric opening,

240
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.600
the show proper rarely finds topics as fertile, The Times writes,

241
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.519
even comic greats can lack perspective. That happens here a

242
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.879
few times. He segues Niffley from a story about a

243
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.159
son's birthday party at a trampoline park to a routine

244
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:02.000
about RFK junior, but even with moments of insider gossip,

245
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.960
but all goes on too long. He over commits to

246
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.919
a neat but niche rumination on the way demonic possession

247
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.559
is handled it in horror films. Likewise, this big finale,

248
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.720
comparing his terrible but terribly expensive new washer dryer to

249
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.759
the old machine he grew up with, feels like a

250
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.080
Reddit post run a mock Yikes. The domestic stuff drags

251
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.159
after awhile, no matter how powerhouse his performance. Meanwhile, Mullaney

252
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.840
races too fast over his bigger, less domestic ideas about

253
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.039
baby boomer entitlement. The crowd, whatever their accents, gave it

254
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.120
a huge response at the end, but mulaney is a

255
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.240
wildly gifted comic and this is far from his best show.

256
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.320
Three stars out of five. John is at the London

257
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:47.639
Palladium through tomorrow night.

258
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:50.919
Comedy stock Market.

259
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.519
Thank you, Burt Reynolds. Now every week on the Comedy

260
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.600
stock Market, we try and find value, we buy low,

261
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.600
we sell high, and boy, I really wish I could

262
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.559
be positive and have some by recommendations for you, but

263
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.080
nothing is exciting me this week. I actually have some

264
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.720
cells and we're gonna get political here. Our first sell

265
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.080
Joe Rogan, and I'll pare them up with THEO Von.

266
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:17.519
I'm gonna put them together, especially with THEO I have

267
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:18.960
here in my notes. I'll just read you what I

268
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.279
wrote my notes. And this is the thing about me

269
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.840
in real life. I have no patience for stupid people.

270
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.000
And that Theovaughn is out there now, like and we'll

271
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.519
get into this tomorrow and tomorrow's very political episode. That

272
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:33.080
Theovann's out there now, like, gee whiz, I can't believe

273
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.080
this is all happening. Dude, do you remember who the

274
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.639
president was before Biden? Come on, man, you can't act

275
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.840
like you didn't know. And same note on Joe Rogan.

276
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.919
So I want to sell THEO sell Rogan, and I

277
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.679
also want to sell Nicki Glazer. I just the coolness

278
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.879
is just oozing out of her. With all the press

279
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.320
he's doing right now, she'll have a little bomb. People

280
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.399
will be like, oh, Nikki's special, It's so funny, but

281
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:58.399
the cool is just leaving. So a pretty negative comedy

282
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.960
stock market will sell Joe Roban, can sell the Ivonn

283
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:04.639
and sell Nicki Glazer. I'm behind on a couple of stories.

284
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.519
I had a pre tape a few episodes during the

285
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.240
week to accommodate my colin oscoby. The results were good,

286
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.919
by the way, no issues at all. I encourage you

287
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:16.440
to get one. Stay healthy. The preps sucks understatement, the

288
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.879
klonoscopy itself. The anasthesiolost comes in, you're out one second later.

289
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.519
Suddenly it's half an hour later, and then you go

290
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.759
to McDonald's and get a two cheeseburger mule. Oh, there

291
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.799
is nothing better than McDonald's after colonoscopy. Joe Rogan is

292
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.960
one of the stories have to catch up on. Last weekend,

293
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.159
he was in the Oval Office with President Trump. Rogan

294
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.120
stood directly behind the President, who was seated at the desk.

295
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.399
The President signed an executive order to ease restrictions on

296
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.840
medical research and treatments using psychedelic drugs. I'll let Joe

297
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.879
Rogan take it from here.

298
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.360
I want to tell everybody how this happened. I sent

299
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.240
President Trump some information. We have a giganta gopia proplem

300
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.639
in this country. Obviously, in twenty twenty four, more than

301
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:02.000
eighty thousand people died of overdoses, horrible number. And there's

302
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.360
more than five million people that are addicted to opiates.

303
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.320
Right now in this country, with one dose survivor gain

304
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.360
more than eighty percent of people are free of that addiction.

305
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.720
With two doses, it's more than ninety percent. I sent

306
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:19.519
him that information. The text message that came back sounds great.

307
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.720
Do you want FDA approval, Let's do it, And it

308
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:28.080
was literally that quick. These drugs are illegal not because

309
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:32.320
they're harmful. They're illegal because of the nineteen seventy Controlled

310
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.559
Substances Act that was passed by the Richard Dixon administration.

311
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.440
They did it to target the civil rights movement and

312
00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.840
the anti war movement. It's not because these drugs harm people.

313
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:48.879
And for fifty six years we've lived under those terrible conditions.

314
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.519
We're free of that now. We're free of that now

315
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.879
thanks to all these people that you see next to me,

316
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.320
and thanks to President Trump.

317
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.039
Now THEO vonn who just sold some of his stock,

318
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.600
he said this thing I'm about to play. You can

319
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.440
ask him what he's talking about.

320
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:04.639
Here.

321
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.600
I'm not even gonna comment. Here is THEO von talking about.

322
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.159
I'm not really sure. Here here's THEO.

323
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.000
I think that that's what I think.

324
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:12.600
Some people like it.

325
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.879
You get so like some people get so powerful or

326
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.639
like there's a lot of gay folks out there. I

327
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.000
think that they're they only veer into that or change

328
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.679
get in a different sexual like things that are outside

329
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.200
of what would be normal for them. Maybe that because

330
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.759
they get so much power, you know, like the Romans

331
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.480
did it, like you know, they say that they did it.

332
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.480
Or there's people like financial gaze power gays.

333
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.120
There's like I've heard that before.

334
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.240
Oh really, no financial gays and power.

335
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.440
Yeah, they get so rich they can afford to just speak, yeah,

336
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.440
or like blind gays.

337
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.039
Tonight on CNN, it's America Laughs with Matt Friend. Matt Friend,

338
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.240
known for his impressions of Donald Trump and other political figures,

339
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.440
headlines a comedy special from Washington, d C. On the

340
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.000
eve of the White House Corresponds Association Dinner. Those folks

341
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:05.000
do not have a comedian hosting this weekend, so normally

342
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.400
that's a big event on the comedy calendar. No longer.

343
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.039
Matt Friend said, we are an increasingly divided country and world.

344
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.440
From my show with CNN, I aim to poke fun

345
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:15.839
at everyone and allow room for all to laugh in

346
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.480
a Johnny Carson spirit. For decades, from Sid Caesar and

347
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.119
Carson to Norm MacDonald and Bill Maher comedians have helped

348
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.839
us reflect on public life in America. This is going

349
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:29.079
to be a truly fun, unpredictable night of impressions, satsire,

350
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.680
and surprises, and I can't wait for people to see it.

351
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.599
Being somewhat familiar with Matt Friend's work, I will be

352
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:39.480
shocked if it's unpredictable. Last weekend, during Kill Tony WrestleMania

353
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.839
in Las Vegas, the Undertaker showed up and dropped Tony

354
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.240
Hinchcliff with a thunderous choke slam. The wrestling news source

355
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.920
Your Home for Wrestling News said it didn't stop there.

356
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.680
As soon as Tony Hinchcliff hit the table, the Undertaker's

357
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.079
music blasted through the venue and the crowd erupted. Moments later,

358
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.680
Triple H rushed out, trying to revive Tony Hinchcliff as

359
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:04.279
the sea inspiraled into full WWE madness. The wrestling news

360
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.680
source tells us Kill Tony WrestleMania promised surprises, but no

361
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.039
one expected it to turn into a dead man ambush,

362
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.200
complete with a choke slam, interest music, and total chaos

363
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.680
that left Tony Hinchcliff wiped out. Yeah, that was completely unpredictable.

364
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.640
Who would have seen that happening at a wrestling event?

365
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.079
Out on YouTube today Zach Newey Tower's debut special, Twink Death.

366
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.599
Twin Death delves into towers religious Midwestern upbringing, the slippery

367
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.200
slope of sobriety and medication, why gay is always a compliment,

368
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.960
and his deep skepticism of marriage, especially when it comes

369
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.559
to the questionable return on investment of straight weddings. Twink

370
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.799
Death on YouTube and that is your comedy news for today.

371
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.559
Tomorrow very political. I've got some audio from the likes

372
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:50.200
of Dave Chappelle, Theo Vaughn, George Lopez. I've got some

373
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.480
comments from Jimmy Kimmel. I've also got some comments from

374
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:54.759
Fox News. So if you don't like the political stuff,

375
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.440
I will see you Sunday. I just consider yourself warned.

376
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.079
Everybody else see you tomorrow.
