1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Jenny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.039
comedy news. I am warmed up. I just did about

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.079
a forty minute discussion with Dylan from the Facebook group,

4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.600
which is daily Comedy News podcast group feeling courts to join.

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.359
He had seen Mitch Hedburg live, so I wanted to

6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.920
talk to Dylan about Mitch Hedburg, and then we wound

7
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.800
up talking comedy for another half hour after that, so

8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.079
we'll run that later in the week. My plan this

9
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.600
weekend is to have two specials about Mitch Hedberg, who

10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.280
passed away twenty years ago on Sunday. But let's start

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.240
with happier things, or maybe not if you're Nicky Glazer.

12
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.000
She's a little worried about making political jokes. She told

13
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.880
reporters on the red carpet at the Conan thing, like

14
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.119
you're just scared that you're gonna get docksed and death

15
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.560
threats or who knows where this leads, like detained. Honestly,

16
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.799
that's not even like a joke. It's like a real fear.

17
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.880
So it's unfortunate that that's true. But I'm not gonna

18
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:01.560
lie and say I don't think about that sometimes Ago,

19
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.320
Oh God, can I just say, I hope they'll know.

20
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:04.959
I can be up on the gallows and say I

21
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.439
was just joking. I'm a comedian. I hope that's a defense.

22
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.319
Did you see the whole thing with the leaked war plans?

23
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.120
Via text ver Das got in on this. This from

24
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.840
the Hindustan Times, your home for comedy news. On Instagram,

25
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.680
Vir shared a series of messages he received from a

26
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:25.239
person who referred to themselves as Donald Trump. In the exchange,

27
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:31.519
the sender aka Donald Trump called ver Vivek. The Exchange,

28
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:36.000
DJT writes, bro, we're planning another assault you in Vir

29
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.280
text back, I'm sorry, who is this? The sender responded,

30
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.079
Trump Baby. Then an invite comes in. You want to

31
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.680
come watch some drones this weekend? Elon's ninth kid bailed.

32
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.200
We have a spare share in the situation room, Via

33
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.040
writes back to DJT, No, sir, this is verr Das.

34
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.840
DJT writes, what the f is a Verdas. You're a

35
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:59.120
brown dude. You're not Vivek. The exchange then says, there's

36
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.079
two effing me any of you, man. This is why

37
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.879
I need Vivek. Furdasan jokes that Vivek's number might be

38
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.760
above my name and your contact list. Quote unquote, Trump

39
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.000
writes back, Wait, you're a comedian, you have a podcast.

40
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.280
You have forty eight hours to leave the country. Mega

41
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.840
Das signed off, Yes, sir, no sir, and I'm a

42
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.919
stay funny bit. Whatever's going on there. Don Al Rawlings

43
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.520
did a really a fantastic interview with Baltimore Positive dot

44
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.919
Com the subject Elon Musk. Remember that time Elon showed

45
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.120
up at the Dave Chappelle show. Donell told that story.

46
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.479
We did the show in San Francisco a few years ago.

47
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.680
At that time Chappelle, I'm not gonna say it was friends,

48
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.520
but you know, I'd be in conversation with Elon and

49
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.759
then he'd come to shows. And I think Elon had

50
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.199
an idea of wanting to do stand up, but I

51
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.319
don't think in front of a twenty thousand seed arena

52
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:44.800
is a good place. And this was right after he

53
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.560
laid off all those people in San Francisco. He went

54
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.199
on stage and they booed the hell out of him.

55
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.360
And you know, there's an iconic catchphrase I use on

56
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.520
Chappelle's show, which would have been perfect for Elon. I

57
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.479
was like, yo, you gotta say it. He said say what,

58
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.599
and I said, you gotta say I'm rich. But then

59
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.240
he said it and he butchered it, and I said, no,

60
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.960
you gotta say like yes. He didn't get it, and

61
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.639
that was the end of his comedy career. Godfre E

62
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.520
tells Fox News that the word racist is worn out

63
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.840
and used too loosely. Godfrey says people accuse him of

64
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.919
being racist for jokes in which he mentions the race

65
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.960
of a person. They go, you're racist, and I go, well,

66
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.960
I can't be. I didn't stop you from going to school.

67
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.800
I can't be a racist. Just because I talk about

68
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.080
a racist doesn't mean I'm racist. You see what I'm saying.

69
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.639
If I go, well, white people do this a lot,

70
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.039
White cops do this to black and it cuts off there,

71
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.680
they go, you're racist. No, they're racist because they were

72
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.919
stopping me, stopping frisking black people. Godfrey says, the critics

73
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.840
are mad just because I'm telling you the truth. I'm

74
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.639
just describing a white person. You know, racist is when

75
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.520
you stop people for buying houses. You can't come in

76
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.360
our neighborhood. You know, you can't have this job because

77
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.879
of the way you look, that's racism. It's an actual

78
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.960
institutionalized method to stop people from progress just because I go, oh,

79
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.240
there's a white guy, there's a black guy. It's not racism.

80
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.680
I'm just describing. You see, there's a difference. It's a

81
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.240
thin line. Godfrey says sometimes people say to him, stick

82
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.240
to comedy, not politics, and I go, well, politics affect me,

83
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.000
I pay taxes. What do you mean stick to comedy

84
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.759
because they're mad at my opinion. So many people are

85
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.319
moist nowadays. Moist is a fantastic word. Comedian Charlie Barns

86
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:11.639
is involved in somebody Else impersonating Charlie. Charlie told Contact six,

87
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.280
a news organization, if you get a DM from me

88
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:19.000
asking for your favorite fishing spot, that could be legitimate. However,

89
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.759
in March, a six year old woman thought she got

90
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.680
a message from Charlie on TikTok. She asked about his

91
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.959
upcoming shows. The scammer offered to get her tickets. Then

92
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.639
the scammer suggested they move the conversation off TikTok. She

93
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.199
was told she needed to get a fan card to

94
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.680
get backstage access. To get one, she had to put

95
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.800
five hundred dollars on an e gift card at Walmart,

96
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.399
because you know that's the system. You buy a comedian

97
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.959
an E gift card at Walmart for five hundred dollars,

98
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.759
and then you get to go backstage. By the way,

99
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:54.040
can I tell you all, backstage is boring. Nothing happens backstage.

100
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.720
Whatever you think is happening backstage, even at rock shows,

101
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.000
is boring. I will tell you a story. When I

102
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.800
was at the old place, so you can all drink,

103
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.639
I was in what I called the Springsteen Mafia. I

104
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.680
got to know the Springsteen camp a little bit. So

105
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.399
one time I got to go backstage at Giants Stadium.

106
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.720
I think it was the old stadium, might have been

107
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.680
the new stadium, doesn't matter. Right after the Springsteen concert,

108
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.279
so I go back and there's Bruce and the guys,

109
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.560
and what do they do. They go, all right, Steve

110
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.839
see tomorrow and they get in their cars and drive home.

111
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.439
That's it. There's no party, there's no babes, there's no drugs.

112
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.279
I mean, I'm sure to Guns n' Roses show in

113
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.040
La thirty years ago, stuff was going on. But you

114
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.519
go backstage with Larry the Cable guy and Jeff Foxworthy,

115
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.160
they're just sitting there having a beverage, and by beverage

116
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.199
I might mean glass of water, perhaps a beer, and

117
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:43.360
just kind of talking the way friends too. Anyway, backstage overrated.

118
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.800
Definitely don't pay five hundred dollars on an e gift

119
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.199
card at Walmart to get backstage. Charlie says, have a

120
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.120
lot of empathy for people because it's getting harder and

121
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.120
harder to decipher what is true and not true online.

122
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.600
One red flag in the case the scammer's TikTok name

123
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:02.279
was Charlie Burn's one twenty seven's official account is Charlie Brenz.

124
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.360
He shares, if there's any numbers behind my name on

125
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.279
any of these things, that's a no go, which reminds

126
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.920
me John m'laney is raising money for charity. Send money

127
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.040
to John mlani on you three, four or five at

128
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.759
no kidding. The woman that says the scammer got to

129
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.360
you friendly, calling her my dear and saying, I guess

130
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.839
I've been around and waiting for you. She wrote back.

131
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.000
Why in the world would the world famous Charlie Brenz

132
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.759
tap the brakes of the world famous I'm not even

133
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.480
sure I'm saying his last name correctly. World famous is

134
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.480
a little little exaggerated there. But why in the world

135
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.639
would Charlie reach out to a complete stranger and sweet

136
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.800
talk I got news, Reela. If you think comedians are

137
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.720
reaching out on social media and sweet talking women, you're

138
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:51.000
not paying attention. Lisa Schiller is with the BBB serving Wisconsin.

139
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.519
I assume that's the better business bureau. Lisa says, I

140
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.079
think the thing with celebrity impersonation scams is people want

141
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.000
them to be true. They're going to ask for payment

142
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.160
and an untraceable method such as a gift card. See,

143
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.879
she's not funny there. She should have said untraceable method

144
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.079
such as a walmart E gift card. The laughter is

145
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.480
always in the details. You got to add the details.

146
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.160
So I'm going to modify her quote. They're going to

147
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.000
ask for payment and untraceable methods such as a walmart

148
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.879
E gift card or a litable card or wire transfer

149
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.920
or cryptocurrency. Sure you can come backstage to send me

150
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.879
one hundred thousand dogecoin. Jeff Dunham stepped and it let's

151
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.759
head on over to Gossip Corner. He was in Rochester,

152
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.079
New York, and the audience turned on him. Why Dunham said,

153
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.959
I got booed when I didn't know what a garbage

154
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.439
plate was. Somebody had asked the question, dear Peanut, have

155
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.279
you ever had a garbage plate? Peanut made a joke

156
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.079
and I said, what's a garbage plate? And people were

157
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.680
liking sense that I'm in Rochester, New York. I didn't

158
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.879
know what a garbage plate was, so we sent a

159
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.839
runner out to get one. Now, if you don't know

160
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.279
what a garbage plate is, and I only do because

161
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.120
this came up on the show at some point, I

162
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.839
feel like Paton Oswalt or somebody was randomly in Rochester.

163
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.279
This has come up before. The runner went to the

164
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.920
garbage plate originator, Nick Tahoe Hats on West Main Street.

165
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.199
You know the place, but it had closed for the night.

166
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.000
Then the runner went to Dogtown on Monroe and got

167
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.439
a junk yard plate, which done him dug into. During

168
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.120
the Facebook live feed. Before opening the container, he commented

169
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.399
about how good it smelled and said, I apologize right

170
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.279
now to Audrey, my wife, who looks out for my health,

171
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.519
because I have a feeling this is not that. So

172
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.759
what was on it? Macaroni salad, home fried potatoes, meat, sauce, mustard, onions,

173
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.879
a hamburger, and a hot dog. He said, I don't

174
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:29.480
know where to start on this thing. Gee whiz, this

175
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.799
looks good. This is every vegan's nightmare. He had a

176
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.600
taste and said, I get it now. Now I know

177
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.519
why the audience was angry with me for not knowing

178
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.519
what this is. This is savory. It is delicious. The

179
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.279
mustard and the onions, and the hamburger and the hot

180
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.080
dog and the potatoes. Yeah, how can you lose? So

181
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.120
I took the break there because I got out on

182
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:51.279
a funny note with the garbage plate story. But here

183
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.679
are some items that normally would be in the A block,

184
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.120
but I just split it for pacing. Kevin Hart never

185
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.559
afraid to work. He's got a new movie for Netflix.

186
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.600
It is called seventy two Hours. It stars Kevin Hart

187
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.600
as a forty year old executive. Kevin Hart is forty five,

188
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.039
so he'll be forty six by the time this comes out.

189
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.960
He's outrageously playing a forty year old executive who hopes

190
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.120
to save his fleiling career by joining a group of

191
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.600
twenty somethings on a wild three day bachelor party after

192
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.799
he's inadvertently added to their group text. So I guess

193
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.840
picture the hangover, except Kevin Hart's on it. You know

194
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.519
what the Netflix algorithm A're gonna stick it in front

195
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.360
of everybody. We're all gonna watch, including me. Yeah, it's

196
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.120
gonna work on your Netflix. Chelsea Handler. By the way,

197
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.240
it is ten fifty eight on Tuesday, and I'm recording

198
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.840
this early because earlier this hour I caught up with

199
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.759
Dylan from the Facebook group. You'll hear me tell it.

200
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.320
But I said to him, Igo, there was a day

201
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.679
last week where you hadn't watched one of the specials

202
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.679
yet I was worried about you. He has already watched

203
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.320
Chelsea Handler, which, as I record this has been out

204
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.120
for like four hours. It's morning and he's already watched Chelsea.

205
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.399
I have not gotten to it yet. Chelsea till the

206
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.120
l eight Times. The point of her special was who

207
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.240
were you before the world really besmirched you? When you

208
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.799
were untouched and unscathed, when you haven't had your heart

209
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.240
broken or been disappointed or experienced a big tragedy yet,

210
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.559
who were you? Then? That's really the essence of who

211
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.279
you are. As for herself, and she also has a

212
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.279
book she said, I'm at a place in my life

213
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.639
where I try not to put that kind of pressure

214
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.159
on myself. I wanted to make sure that even if

215
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.799
it wasn't number one, that'd be grateful and gracious and

216
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.159
not be so competitive with myself or with others. To

217
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.039
find out that it was number one when I'd accept

218
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.679
it might not be was the best news. I'm so

219
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.080
proud of myself for never falling into getting married or

220
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.200
having a baby when I know these things aren't natural

221
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.519
to who I am. I am valuable without a husband.

222
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.679
I'm a queen with or without a husband, and so

223
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.120
are all women. I firmly believe that. And she speaks

224
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.879
truth here in this next chunk. When you hate your fifties,

225
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.879
you return to who you are. You start caring a

226
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.559
lot less about what people think, and you're also much

227
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.159
more present. Amen and Amen. The past is not a

228
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.600
preoccupation like it was in my twenties, worrying about what

229
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.919
I'd done, if I'd said something to embarrass myself. I

230
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.240
do that a lot less. I do that less often,

231
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.320
so there is less to be regrettable about. One piece

232
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.720
of advice that I have taken a heart. It's from

233
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.360
Kylo Wrenn, you know the bad guy from the Star

234
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.919
Wars sequels. But he's got a line of dialogue which

235
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.440
is let the Past Die. And I think it is

236
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:15.080
great advice album. Can I signbar? So I was in

237
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.320
Ireland last week. This is related to stay with me,

238
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.240
nothing to do with comedy, but to do what I

239
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.200
just talked about. So I went up to Belfast and

240
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.120
I took what's called a black cab tour, so I

241
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.360
was driven around. My family and I were driven around

242
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.519
by a man who had grown up during the troubles,

243
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.399
and he showed us the neighborhoods and they still to

244
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.279
this day locked the gates between the Protestant neighborhood and

245
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.360
the Catholic neighborhood at ten pm. And he showed me

246
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.279
how the fence is right up against the Catholic side.

247
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.000
So if you're on the Catholic side and he wanted

248
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.960
to throw something over the fence to hit the Protestants, well,

249
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.720
the Protestant houses or like forty fifty feet back from

250
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.000
the fence, so you really don't have the angle to

251
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.120
throw such a thing. Whereas if you're on the Protestant

252
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.799
side and you want to lob something over the fence.

253
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.759
It's pretty easy to hit the Catholic side, And it

254
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.279
was just the whole thing was powerful. I was honestly

255
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.679
choked up for like the entire hour and a half tour.

256
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.080
But one thing he said was, you know, was never

257
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.919
about religion. It was just about economic stuff and they're

258
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.200
leaving it behind. And he explained about the gates. He goes,

259
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.879
it's not a great solution, you know. I could see

260
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.279
that you might think it's strange because it's working for us,

261
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.399
and it works fine. Another thing I heard a lot

262
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.200
over there was how the Irish feel about the British,

263
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.759
which is totally different from how Grandma felt about it.

264
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.279
Their attitude is, you know, what stuff happened one hundred

265
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.879
and fifty years ago. Let the past die. Get back

266
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.519
to the show, John Okay. Chelsea Handler enjoys hosting the

267
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.440
Critics' Choice Award and says, I love making fun of

268
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.679
celebrities and getting drunk with them afterward. It's kind of

269
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.600
the perfect evening for me. Now, will she get a

270
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.159
talk show again? In twenty twenty five? The easiest way

271
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:45.639
to get a late night talk show as a woman

272
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.360
is to get the creators of hacks to write a

273
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.600
fictional story about it. John Mulaney shows on tonight your

274
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.200
guest Pete Davidson, Lunel Macpacker, Henry Winkler and a funeral

275
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.279
director and music from Mannequin Pussy. And that is your

276
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.440
comedy news for today. If you join the program, tell

277
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.759
a friend about it, they might like it. To see

278
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:03.240
you tomorrow.
