Johnny Mac covers comedy news including Rob Schneider clarifying his social media comments supporting a mandatory draft with no exemptions to deter wars and stop “other people’s kids” from dying. Jon Stewart critiques the White House Ballroom Project after a New York Times report describing odd design elements, and contrasts Trump’s detailed ballroom defense with his war answers; the press secretary says it will cost taxpayers nothing. Whitney Cummings jokes about leaked FBI Director Kash Patel emails. Billboard’s February 2026 top touring comedians list has Nate Bargatze at #1 (six of seven months), followed by Jo Koy, Katt Williams, Bert Kreischer, and Jim Gaffigan; the script also notes a New York Times headline calling Andrew Schulz a major political journalist and details his new film role. Other items: Andy Samberg’s rom-com “42.6 Years,” John Mulaney’s Graceland story, Netflix airing AFI’s Eddie Murphy tribute May 31, a Comedy Night for Immigrant Rights lineup, Wanda Sykes on truth in comedy, Maria Bamford and Jackie Kashian interviews, TJ Miller teasing a new Deadpool idea, Melbourne comedy events, and “Comedy Survivor” voting targeting Sebastian Maniscalco.

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.000
Caloroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:14.400
daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy,

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.199
comedians and the comedy industry. Rob Schneider has jumped on

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:23.399
social media to clarify his comments about the mandatory draft.

5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.640
He posted, you are missing the point. Missing the point

6
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.120
in all caps Schneider's theory if nobody is exempt from

7
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.119
military service, then poor and wealthy families alike would have

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:38.039
a shared military connection. Don't worry, Rob, someone will be exempt,

9
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.000
and it won't be the poor. Schneider said Congress would

10
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.640
think long and hard before sending American troops into another

11
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.280
far away war that isn't vital to our national survival.

12
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.079
Rob Rob, Robert, Rob, Rob, Rob. Are you paying attention

13
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.560
to the news. Do you think Congress does anything about anything?

14
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.479
Do you think Congress isn't going to have figured out

15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.960
a way so their kids don't have to go? Come on, man,

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.640
Rob said, no more cavalier decisions, No more other people's

17
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.799
kids dying while their own kids stay safe at Ivy

18
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.840
League schools or in Beverly Hills. Schneider said, then the

19
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.280
nation might stop treating itinst the military like disposable chess pieces.

20
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.760
I'm with you there, Rob, but uh yeah, let me

21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.719
know when Congress does anything. John Stewart ripped into the

22
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.400
President of the United States. Not over the war, No,

23
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.640
John Stuart was more interested in the White House ballroom project,

24
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.519
which it seems increasingly clear is just a cover story

25
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.439
for a new bunker being built. The New York Times

26
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.040
had reported over the weekend that designs for the ballroom

27
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.319
show fake windows on the north side and columns that

28
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.719
would block the interior ballroom view. There's also a grand

29
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.040
staircase that does not lead to an entrance. John Stewart

30
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.200
on The Daily Show said, okay, woke New York Times.

31
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.920
When mc escher does that, it's art. Well, but you

32
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.799
put it on an actual building and suddenly it's this

33
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.359
doesn't make any sense, and I appear to be trapped

34
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.200
if you ours. After the Times report, President Trump spoke

35
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.560
to the press. He was on Air Force One reporters,

36
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.599
I'm fighting wars and other things, but this is very

37
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.799
important because this is going to be with us for

38
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.799
a long time, and I think it'll be the greatest

39
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.879
ballroom anywhere in the world. John Stewart responded to that

40
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.599
and said for the ballroom, Trump will put in an

41
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.560
all nighter for a point by point rebuttal, but for

42
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.639
the war, he literally doesn't have the focused answer one question.

43
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.479
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Livett said, President Trump and

44
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.240
his lead architect have built world class buildings around the world,

45
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.360
and they're ensuring the People's House finally as a beautiful

46
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.120
ballroom that's been needed for decades at no expense to

47
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.639
the tax payer. Remember that last part there, Whitney Cummings,

48
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.319
she's getting political. She was guest hosting the view. She

49
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.319
was discussing how FBI Director Cash Bettel's emails had been leaked.

50
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.240
She said, I mean, if Cash wanted his emails not

51
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.360
to get released, he should have just c sed Jeffrey

52
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.039
Epstein on them. That is a great line and a

53
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:51.280
great point. Moving away from politics. Finally, John Billboard has

54
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.360
published the February box Score Report to see who the

55
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.639
top touring comedians were for February twenty twenty six. Do

56
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.800
you want to guess? Yes, you were correct? Number one

57
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.000
again Naprighatzy. He has led for six of the last

58
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.159
seven months. The only month he wasn't number one was

59
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.199
in December when John Mulaney took the crown number two,

60
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.400
Joe Coy three, Cant Williams four, Bert Kreischer five, Jim Gaffigan.

61
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.319
Andrew Schultz, who once appeared in the headline in the

62
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.719
New York Times June twenty third, twenty twenty five, Andrew

63
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.280
Schultz might be America's foremost political journalist. That's right, The

64
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.680
New York Times said, Andrew Schultz might be America's foremost

65
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.840
political journalist. This is a real thing that happened in

66
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.360
the New York Times. It's I know you're like John,

67
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.360
It's April Fool's Day. No one is gonna believe that's

68
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.039
the story that appeared in the New York Times. They're

69
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.120
not crazy. No, I'm telling you this is not an

70
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.280
April Fools joke. On June twenty third, twenty twenty five,

71
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.800
they wrote the headline, Andrew Schultz might be America's foremost

72
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.560
political journalist. He also, I'll add, might be America's foremost actor.

73
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.280
That's right. He's going to appear in a new film.

74
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:55.639
It's called Clashing through the Snow. It's described as planes, trains,

75
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.199
and automobiles for the gen Z generation. It centers on

76
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.000
two rival coworkers at a book publisher who are forced

77
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.400
to travel cross country when bad weather grounds all available flights.

78
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.800
They should just rewrite this and say the TSA lines

79
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.960
are fourteen hours long, and they decide to drive now. Yes.

80
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.879
Andrew Schultz, possibly America's greatest political journalist, will play Walder,

81
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.959
a janitor with a close personal connection to the character

82
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.959
played by Christopher Briney, who is a type A commerce

83
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.959
focused editor. Zarni Guard plays Gail, whose unexpected god in

84
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.120
steers a character played by Michelle Randolph, a creative, freethinking

85
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:33.639
editor in a pivotal direction during the trip sounds very complicated.

86
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.000
Can't wait for it? Mack Packer Andy Samberg. He will

87
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.160
start in forty two point six Years, a romantic comedy.

88
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.600
Samberg was originally going to star opposite Gene Smart. Gene

89
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.759
has now pulled out of it and has been replaced

90
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.639
by five time Oscar nominee Annette Benning. In forty two

91
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.519
point six Years, we follow ben played by Mack Packer

92
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.279
Andy Samberg, who, after an experimental procedure leaves him cryogenically

93
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.160
frozen for forty two point six years, sets out to

94
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.600
reconnect with his ex girlfriend played by Anette Benning. He

95
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.800
has an age today. She's lived an entire lifetime without him.

96
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.959
John mulaney was a guest on The Late Show with

97
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.720
star Trek Ruin or Stephen Colbert. Laney told a story

98
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.920
about visiting Graceland. As the story goes, John mulaney says,

99
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.240
his son, Malcolm, who's four, is a huge fan of

100
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.240
Elvis Presley, because of course he is. John said, and

101
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:22.720
I said to him, do you want to get a

102
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.519
tour of Elvis's house? And he was like, elvis House awesome.

103
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.120
Laney says, we're walking through, and the guy goes, we're

104
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.480
gonna show you some special spots because you're performing here

105
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.279
at Graceland. My son goes, I want to go on

106
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.000
the roof. They weren't able to visit the roof. However,

107
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.160
they were able to visit Elvis's jungle room. Malaney said,

108
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.240
we're looking around and Malcolm goes, Dad, can I meet

109
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.360
Elvis now? And it never come up. While listening to

110
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.439
hound Dog, you don't go, son, you know this guy's dead.

111
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.279
Right then I realized all his grandparents aren't alive, and

112
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.240
he's never had a goldfish, and he doesn't know he's

113
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.319
about to find out in the jungle room at Graceland

114
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.519
that everybody dies. Laney explained to his son, Elvis is

115
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.160
in heaven now. His son said, why. John Mulaney, as

116
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.199
he tells the story, said, sometimes when people are in

117
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.160
their early forties and they have a job at a

118
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.839
schedule a lot like daddy, and some of the same

119
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.680
issues as Daddy, they go to the bathroom and they

120
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.439
go to heaven. Wow, that's pretty good. Eddie Murphy winner

121
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.439
of the fifty first AFI Life Achievement Award. Well Netflix

122
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.519
will televise the fifty first AFI Life Achievement Award, a

123
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.519
Tribute to Eddie Murphy on Netflix May thirty first. The

124
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.759
award will be presented to Eddie Murphy in LA on

125
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.839
April eighteenth. According to the AFI, Eddie Murphy is the

126
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.000
most commercially successful African American actor in the history of

127
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.519
the motion picture business and as one of the industry's

128
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.680
top five box office performers overall. W Camal Bell, Melissa

129
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.800
Via Signor, and Joel Kim Booster are going to perform

130
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.680
in San Francisco. They'll be at the Immigration Institute of

131
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.600
the Bay Area hosting the tenth annual Comedy Night for

132
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.360
immigrant rights. April thirtieth is that event Want of Pikes

133
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.839
was on Charlemagne, the God. Charlemagne said, the thing I

134
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.720
used to love about the Chris Rock Show, it was

135
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.519
just full of uncomfortable truths. Even that whole era was

136
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.879
full of uncomfortable truths. Right, do you think comedy's still

137
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:04.879
a ought to be that honest? Are we in an

138
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.920
era now where everybody wants jokes but they don't want

139
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.199
the truth that comes with it. Wanta said, no, you

140
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.759
know what, I think You're allowed to do it, but

141
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.079
it's just who wants to do it. You know what

142
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.560
I'm saying. If I'm trying to fill an arena, you

143
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.560
know what I'm saying, you can't be that common. You

144
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.639
gotta appeal to the masses. And sometimes right now with

145
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.240
the masses want to hear it's ugly, you know, want

146
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.519
to continue it to a lot of people like to

147
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.160
be the critic. They want to be the police. It's like,

148
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.600
if you say something it might offend you, but you

149
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.319
got to look at where that person's coming from. You know,

150
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.040
maybe their life, their perspective is different from what you know. Yeah,

151
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.279
you're offended, You're not standing in my shoes you don't

152
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.120
see it from my perspective, so I think that's what

153
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.759
we've gotten away from. I always try to punch up,

154
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.800
but that's me. However, she said, if you punch down

155
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.839
and it's funny, I'm gonna laugh. Apparently, the Shepherd Express

156
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.240
is your home for comedy news. We've got back to

157
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.480
back stories from The Shepherd Express. In story number one,

158
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.480
they caught up with Maria Bamford. She said, I think

159
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.319
I have a trimmer and it makes everything seem like

160
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.399
I'm nervous. But I don't feel nervous. I just look

161
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.319
like I'm afraid. Bamford said, I need to entertain myself,

162
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.480
so that's a shell just keep myself from being bored.

163
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.360
She also added, my friendship with my sister. I stopped

164
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.160
doing jokes about her and now we're best friends. Next thing,

165
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.319
Maria Bamford would love to accomplish. I'd love to be

166
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.240
on a TV show for five lines a week in

167
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.439
a wig. Meanwhile, Jackie Kashin also caught up with these

168
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.600
Shepherd Express. Jackie said growing up she wasn't thinking of

169
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.959
being a comedian. She said, I wanted to act. I

170
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.040
think I certainly played a lot of what a FUNSI

171
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.879
was on the Starship Enterprise and acted out of all

172
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.600
the parts I'd watch that, I vaguely remember answering that

173
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.040
I wanted to be a lawyer or a teacher of

174
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.480
Forrest Ranger. When asked, I went to UW. Madison. There

175
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.039
was a comedy club. We went to it. I went

176
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:33.759
to open Mic three weeks after seeing the show, and

177
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.240
I was hooked. I don't know how to explain it,

178
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.159
but it felt like I was looking for stand up forever.

179
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.360
She recalls a night in nineteen eighty four she went

180
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.960
to a Madison comedy club, got drunk, heckled the comedian

181
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.799
on stage, and he couldn't shut me up, and sally

182
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:46.559
for the rest of the audience. I wasn't kicked out.

183
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.000
The club manager came over and said, open Mic is

184
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.960
on Sundays now, will you shut up? And I did.

185
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:55.799
The comic guy heckled Sam Kennison. How could Sam Kinnison

186
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.440
not shut you down? That seems hard to believe. I'm

187
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.159
not gonna pull up. That seems hard to believe that

188
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.039
Sam Kinnison couldn't slam a heckler. Jackie said, comedy right now,

189
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.399
it's crazy out in the world and there are two

190
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.759
kinds of comedy. I like seeing now very open about

191
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.480
the things we're all living through, mostly to relieve the

192
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.080
pressure and to make people know they aren't alone a crazy.

193
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.759
The other kind of comedy is just normal, driving, family,

194
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.879
food and relationship material, which is the kind of fun

195
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.399
comedy you just keep writing to matter what the situation. TJ.

196
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.840
Miller keeps talking about the next Deadpool film. I think

197
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.799
he wants to get back into that franchise. Supposedly, Ryan

198
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.639
Reynolds told TJ Miller about it. TJ said, I'll say

199
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.120
his idea for the next Deadpool film is like really good.

200
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.080
You know, it's really smart. He told me the idea.

201
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:38.399
I kind of got hair on the back of my

202
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:39.960
neck standing up because I was just like, I didn't

203
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.720
think you could do something that's even more different than

204
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.399
Deadpool and Wolverine. I don't know what's gonna happen, because

205
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.840
he's got a couple other projects going. I mean, I

206
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.240
always liked him and I always thought he's the funniest.

207
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.080
I mean, what are you gonna say, hey, Ryan, that's

208
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.399
a terrible idea. I hate your idea for the Deadpool movie.

209
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.559
I don't want to be at it, DJ said, Ryan

210
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.759
is really a powerhouse in terms of the comedy and

211
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.679
specifically Deadpool. He's coming to be a real friend and

212
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.240
he's at our back and I've tried to have his

213
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.320
because I mean, the Internet is just such an evil,

214
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.320
cruel place, so despicable. And let's see what's happening in Melbourne.

215
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.440
So I have to work a day ahead for you

216
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:16.159
Americans because the listener's down Under by the time they

217
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.120
get the show. If I'm not wearing a day ahead,

218
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.840
they're gonna be like, yeah, thanks John. That show started

219
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.320
at thirty minutes ago. So Thursday at eleven thirty in

220
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.720
the morning, it's the Class Clowns National Grand Final. Who

221
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.000
will be crowned Australia's funniest high school I like this

222
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.639
a month long search for the country's brightest young comedy talent.

223
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.960
Class Clowns is a national secondary school comedy competition inviting

224
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.840
young people to unleash their creative talents through stand up, sketch,

225
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.039
musical comedy or physical performance. And then if you'll need

226
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.639
something at night, how about six pm good time for show.

227
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.080
We can see a show and go home and go

228
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.639
to bed. That's great. It's Australia's Funniest Lawyers, featuring a

229
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:56.600
lineup of criminal prosecutors, barristers, government regulators and corporate solicitors who,

230
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.759
as you could tell, are the funniest people of the world.

231
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.279
With those jobs, we are teld the lawyers turn comedians

232
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.759
in this lineup of one and been nominated for numerous

233
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.759
prestigious festival awards, appeared on TV, and have sold out

234
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.120
festival shows nationally and internationally. That's right, it's America's Funniest Lawyers.

235
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.879
Oh wait, Comedy Survivor forgot to tell you. It looks

236
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:21.200
like Sebastian Maniscalco is in massive, massive trouble. As I've

237
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.080
been skiving the Facebook group, looks like he's going to go.

238
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.720
So if you're like, well, I want to save a

239
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.840
Sebastian Maniscalco, I would get about twelve of your friends

240
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.519
to vote for somebody else. But whoever you guys want

241
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.399
to vote it off is fine with me. What you

242
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.720
do is you go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy

243
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.799
News Podcast group and you'll find the little drawing there

244
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.440
and you'll see a bunch of people have written the

245
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.159
words Sebastian and Maniscalco. And then you and your twelve

246
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.720
friends are going to want to jump in there and

247
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.519
write down some other name. And that is your comedy
