1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.960
Calarogashock Media. Hi there, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.720
Sarah Silverman's next special Netflix, May twentieth. It is called

3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.559
post Morte Men. She put out the trailer. Let's listen.

4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.920
My dad and my step mom Janie both died last May,

5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:30.239
nine days apart. And oh that one needs work. And

6
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.399
my dad was my best friend, and they both gave

7
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.520
me so much, and most recently about an hour of

8
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.079
new material. So let's do this. And this seems like

9
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:48.600
a good time to mention. I do have merch this tour,

10
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.280
but I just really feel like my parents would want

11
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.560
me to monetize this. Meanwhile, out today, Season two of

12
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.520
Conan O'Brien must go on, Max. Now you may recall

13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.040
they did some like funky things where they shortened the season,

14
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.519
and I bet they regret that now that there's been

15
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.400
the Conaissance, I mean, there's like a continual conaissance. But

16
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.680
I don't know why they had cut back the order. Anyway,

17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:16.120
We'll see Conan in New Zealand with Taike awaititd. Javier

18
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.400
Bordem joins Conan in Spain. Conan will also visit Austria

19
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.400
in this season. Max had tweaked the schedule after Conan

20
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.920
was tapped to host the Oscars. They shortened season two

21
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.159
to three episodes, but they gave the series a renewal

22
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.400
for a six episode season three. So maybe I have

23
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:34.959
it all wrong and they just wanted to get something

24
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.120
out there quickly. Anyway, it is on Max today while

25
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.159
we're talking Conan. I had seen this thing as I

26
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.159
was prepping the Palace Intrigue podcast because my Prince Harry

27
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.239
news tracker caught that Harry was going to be at

28
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.560
this thing in Vegas today. But Conan is there as well.

29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.159
You'll find Conan at the Venetian in haul A Level

30
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.200
two from ten to eleven Pacific. Join Conan O'Brien and

31
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.159
Jessica Williams as they the role of improvisation and comedy

32
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.799
in leadership. Together, they'll discuss how humor and embracing spontaneity

33
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.599
builds trust, leads to innovative thinking, and sharpens adaptability. Sounds

34
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.360
like a nice paycheck for Conan. Now. This thing is

35
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.120
called Knowledge twenty twenty five. It has been a convention

36
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.680
of shorts all week. Individual pricing started at twenty one

37
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.520
to ninety five twenty one hundred and ninety five dollars

38
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.439
gets you a full conference pass for all the learning,

39
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.400
inspiration and networking. You could even see Conan O'Brien if

40
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.319
you wanted to. A one day pass if you want

41
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.520
to head out there today is only nine hundred and

42
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.840
ninety five dollars if you want to see Codin O'Brien,

43
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.719
who's also on TV tonight. Nice money if you can

44
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.919
get it. Late Night are reporting. The final date, Four

45
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.960
After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson will be Thursday, June twelfth.

46
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.560
All week, I've been talking about Nate Prighetzi. They are

47
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.879
coming for Nate. The Industry Trades pulled a particular quote

48
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.759
and I share this screenshot in the Facebook group, even

49
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.680
though the article has been out for several days. What's

50
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.319
coming up if you google Daytzy is Nate Pergatzy on

51
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.800
Disney and Variety, Deadline, the Hollywood Reporter, and the Rap

52
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.639
all pulling up with Nate Bergatzy says Disney head doesn't

53
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.680
care about the audience. The poll quode from Nate. Now,

54
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.280
Disney is run by a guy that's just a businessman. Well,

55
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.639
that guy doesn't care about the audience. Now that this

56
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.120
has come up, as I was doing the Nate stuff

57
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.319
this week. I was coming away a little bit like

58
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.560
he seems less likable off this interview. I'm not sure

59
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.800
this Esquire interview helped him at all. And now I'm

60
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.199
feeling more strongly about that. I've always liked Nate, He's

61
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.719
been on my radar for at least a decade. But

62
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.960
this Esquire article, I don't know a little funky. Esquire

63
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:47.400
asked Nate about his influences. He listed four people, Jerry Seinfeld,

64
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:52.840
Judd Apatow, Walt Disney, and Adam Sandler. And this is

65
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.680
where the Disney stuff came into Esquire writes, recording in

66
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.280
to Berghatzy. Walt Disney, the man, not the brand, loved

67
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.400
everything he made and cared about his customers. The quote, Now,

68
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.479
now Disney is run by a guy that's just a businessman. Well,

69
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.080
that guy doesn't care about the audience. Burghetsy cares deeply

70
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.840
about his audience. He sees himself as their servant. None

71
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.199
of this happens without them, he says of his career,

72
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.800
I think one thing that came out in this interview

73
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.399
is some frustration by Nate that his career took longer

74
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.759
than maybe he thought, Now, there are a lot of

75
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.639
eighteen year overnight sensations in this industry. Just about everybody

76
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.160
you've heard of other than the TikTok comedians have been

77
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.519
doing this for a while, So I don't know. It

78
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.040
seems a little at a pace with his peers. Here,

79
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.079
Esquire writes, while he was still grinding it out, lost

80
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.000
in relative obscurity, he'd see his peers or mark on

81
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.160
a controversial issue, often something political. Quoting Nate, they would

82
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.839
skip a bunch of steps. Now they're mentioned everywhere because

83
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.040
they said something crazy. Now Netflix called them and they

84
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.160
got a special burgets. He was tempted. He considered going

85
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.040
that route, but he resisted the urge otherwise he might

86
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.839
lose his audience's trust the more I dive into this.

87
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.439
This is just a carefully created, a friendly harbor piece.

88
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.519
In Esquire, Nate says, the hardest thing to do is

89
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.480
stay that past because it's not as flashy. You just

90
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.040
got to sit in it. You just got to keep going.

91
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:10.560
And then he get to the point where I'm at Now,

92
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.560
I'm frustrated by an entire system that's like y'all were

93
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.040
just grabbing headlines when I felt like, why did he

94
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.920
not look at me More. He talked about nate Land,

95
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.000
which would be built on the site of the former

96
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.399
opry Land theme park, and Nate says, I'll be honest

97
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.600
with you, I bet we're closer than people think, but

98
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.480
it's still a little ways off. Apparently he's in the

99
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.720
market analytics phase of the project. Another weird take here,

100
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.360
and before I even saw the rest of the media

101
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.519
put up, I have in my notes here I wrote

102
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.800
the other day when I split up this article. Weird take.

103
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.920
Nate says, I don't think anybody's even trying to make

104
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.839
stuff everybody. Esquire writes to illustrate his point, BRIGETSI brings

105
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.240
up Succession. You know HBO Succession. Nate says, I did

106
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.399
not watch Succession. I know it's the greatest show to

107
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.519
ever exists. I'm not a mora on. Everybody understands is

108
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.279
the greatest show in the world. I want to watch it.

109
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.279
There's nothing to do with the show, but no one

110
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.319
watched it in the grand scheme of things, so yes

111
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.000
and no like. It clearly had buzz. But Forbes here

112
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.319
is pointing out the Succession finale hit a series high

113
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.399
two point nine million viewers, which Nate is correct, that

114
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.319
is not a lot. If you want to go back

115
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.680
forty years, the Mash finale had one hundred and six

116
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.000
million people watch it. Okay, that was a different time,

117
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.839
if you want to go back, still a long time ago,

118
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:25.800
but the Seinfeld finale had seventy six point three million viewers,

119
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.959
again at different time. The pit on Max apparently averaged

120
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:36.399
ten million plus viewers, and according to website USTVDB, the

121
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.279
ratings as of Thursday May first Tracker on CBS at

122
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.800
seven point six million. So if we want to find

123
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.839
something on par with succession, if we went down to

124
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.639
two point three million, basically as popular as Let's make

125
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.439
a Deal on CBS, which did two million, three hundred

126
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.279
and five according to this website. So Nate's not wrong

127
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.319
there about succession. Nate says, everybody has lives, everybody has kids,

128
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.040
everybody has stuff to go do. They don't want to

129
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.800
sit and worship your art. There's got to be a

130
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:07.279
balance of appreciating succession and appreciating king of queens. Those

131
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.240
worlds have to exist together. Now you have too many successions.

132
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.279
There's nothing that's a palide cleaner. Maybe the successions are

133
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.000
a little bit easier to make because you're making it

134
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.079
for such a specific audience. You get the runway to

135
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.439
make it for five six years because it's cool. What

136
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.160
if no one watches it doesn't matter. I think there's

137
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.199
no one trying to do it. People still go to concerts.

138
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:25.959
I do shows in front of fifteen thousand people who

139
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.079
are laughing and paying attention for an hour. I see

140
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.040
it in every single city. People want to go do something.

141
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.040
You're not just giving them something to go do. Very

142
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.040
interesting article. We'll see if there's more blowback during the week.

143
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.439
I also wanted to pick a little more at this

144
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.759
Bill Burr piece in The New Yorker. Burr said, my

145
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.360
thing is, I wish we could go back to if

146
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:44.920
you work forty hours a week, one hundred and sixty

147
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.519
hours a month, you can live comfortably. You can pay

148
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:47.839
your rent. I don't think anybody should be able to

149
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.360
argue with the fact that if somebody works one hundred

150
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:50.600
and sixty hours a month for you and they can

151
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.639
still pay their rent, you're not paying them enough. And

152
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.839
this thing, when they have to go out and get

153
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.079
a second job, spend time away from their children, that's

154
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.560
going to hurt this country and It's also an incredibly

155
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.959
callous and cold thing to do, somebody knowing that because

156
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.959
you want a bigger pool, they're going to miss out

157
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.000
on the greatest thing ever, which is watching their kid

158
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.959
grow up. You're stealing those moments away from them. Had

159
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.639
a friend of mine, he told me the story. Right

160
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.160
out of college. He got this job with a big

161
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.040
corporation who's living in New York. He gets the job,

162
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.000
he crushes it, and then they place him in San Francisco.

163
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.399
So he got to know somebody in HR and they're

164
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:18.519
having a beer one night and he goes, you know,

165
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.560
I don't understand. They have offices everywhere, live in New York.

166
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.040
Why they place me all across the country. And the

167
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.800
other guy goes, ah, they do that on purpose. They

168
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.600
want to move you away from all your family and friends,

169
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.680
so you're less likely to quit because you have no options.

170
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.600
And I always just want to be in that meeting

171
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.200
because you know, they talk around it. Did you ever

172
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.759
see what was that movie a few years ago, Zone

173
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.480
of Interest? The way they were talking about putting people

174
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.080
in ovens. They were talking about it like it was cargo,

175
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.679
and they were dressed nice, and they were clean, they

176
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.200
were having their little coffee, and they're talking about the

177
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.720
most evil thing ever, like the person who came up

178
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.720
with that got rewarded for that, breaking up families and

179
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.159
moving someone away from and that goes back to slavery.

180
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.440
It's terrible. They're constantly demonizing people with no power, like

181
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.799
the food industry. When they saw the heroin addicts, they

182
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.159
were jealous of heroin. They go, I wish people were

183
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.399
in our food like that. So what they call it

184
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.320
is we want our food to have a certain amount

185
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.519
of creveability. It's beyond evil. But because it's legal, and

186
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.840
because politicians are so underpaid and they're taking the money

187
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.600
from that, they don't do anything. A lot more there.

188
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.840
I'll pick up on that either tomorrow or Saturday. Adam

189
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.320
Sandler has got a movie he will co star with

190
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.840
George Clooney. It is called Ja Kelly. Will hit theater

191
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.799
is November fourteenth, before it streams three weeks later on

192
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.559
December fifth. So maybe we're getting the dramatic Adam Sandler here.

193
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.440
And I'm a big fan of Adam Sandler dramatic actor.

194
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.240
I think he's one of the best dramatic actors comedian.

195
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.320
He's terrible, but dramatic actor. I dig Adam Sandler. We

196
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.519
don't know anything about the movie other than George Clooney

197
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.720
plays Jay Kelly. Adam Sandler plays somebody named Adam Doherty.

198
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.679
If you're up near Jamestown, New York and you want

199
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.039
to meet Gabe Iglesias, he'll be at the National Comedy Center.

200
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.159
He's there to open the newest exhibit featuring his iconic

201
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.639
nineteen fifty nine Volkswagen Bus from his record breaking stadium

202
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.559
Fluffy Special. Gabe will be there to officially unveil the display.

203
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.679
The vintage VW bus from Gabe's personal collection is a

204
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.879
fan favorite centerpiece of his historic Dodger Stadium show. Admission

205
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.559
to the Comedy Center is free all day. I wish

206
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.759
I had known about this earlier. I would have I

207
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.440
bet they would have hooked me up. I'm friendly with

208
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.440
them and and I've worked with Gabe in the past.

209
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.519
I I only saw this on Wednesday. If I known

210
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.120
a little earlier, could have planned my life. You know,

211
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.159
you got to pre record. Sometimes you're going to disappear

212
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.039
for an entire day. Oh well, anyway. Admission is free

213
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.240
to the Comedy Center's museum all day. There'll be a

214
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.720
fan photo op after the ribbon cutting at four thirty.

215
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:34.120
Attendees can RSVP at Comedycenter dot org, slash Fluffy and

216
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.480
did you see who's back? Father Guido Sarducci weighing in

217
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.840
on the pope stuff, he was on Colbert. You haven't

218
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.720
seen Sarducci in a long time, Serducci told Colbert, while

219
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.480
I predict, I think it's fixed. Benedict the sixteenth is

220
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.080
gonna be the pope again. That's my prediction. Colbert reminded

221
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.240
Guido that Pope Benedict is dead, and Father Sarducci responded,

222
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.159
that's what you think. It's a rumor. It's like Elvis.

223
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.039
It's a conspiracy. Colbert said, but we saw his funeral,

224
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.360
and Sarducci said, yeah, but no one has seen him

225
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.559
since his funeral. If you would like to keep up

226
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.080
on all the latest things, paople, don't forget. We've got

227
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.840
that podcast, White Smoke. I'm working on that one personally,

228
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.080
and we are doing daily updates about the conclave and hopefully,

229
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.840
well I mean not hopefully, but if they've picked a

230
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.240
pope between me recording this and you hearing it, well

231
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.159
that's what happened. Big. Netflix plans they're going to overhaul

232
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.840
the homepage design. The new layout is more clean and modern,

233
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.080
featuring visual elements for shows and movies, while also managing

234
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:37.120
to cram in more relevant information. Titles will receive callouts

235
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.440
that highlight popularity, awards, or other features. They're also tweaking

236
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.360
the recommendation engine to be more responsive to your moods

237
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.159
and interests in the moment. There will also be a

238
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:51.440
TikTok style vertical video feed featuring clips and trailers from

239
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.360
its shows and movies. Users can click and be taken

240
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.480
to the full episode or movie that's designed for mobile

241
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.879
viewing on the go. The tiktokization of the world continues. Also,

242
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.200
Netflix is partnering with the AI people on an AI

243
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.159
search tool. One of the suits that Netflix says you

244
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.480
could type in I want something scary but not too

245
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.440
scary and also maybe a little bit funny but not

246
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.639
like haha funny. Oh so like an Adam Sandler space movie.

247
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.679
I get it. There's a festival today, the Toledano Street

248
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.320
Comedy Festival in New Orleans. Founder Andrew Stevens wanted to

249
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.360
organize the festival like many music festivals, where attendees get

250
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.559
a day or week in pass and I have a

251
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.120
bunch of shows to choose from. That is always a

252
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.320
good model. The JFL Toronto had that, and I really

253
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.200
like that. This takes place in New Orleans at various

254
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.039
venues around Toledano and Magazine Streets today through the eleventh

255
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.639
tonight at Sports Drink. Is a rolling show as more

256
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:49.360
than thirty comics rotate through short sets. Andrew Stevens, the organizer, says,

257
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:51.320
it's like the funniest open mic. You can have lots

258
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:52.840
of comics. We'll do a quick set we can film

259
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.399
on a nice camera. Everyone does a three minute set

260
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.879
and it'll be a long, continually rolling show. This weekend's

261
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.960
lineup includes New Orleans native Sean Patton, He's fantastic, Shane Torres, Dulse,

262
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.879
Sloan Langston Kerman, and some others. Pretty good, mister Stevens said.

263
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.039
Kyle Kanaane said comedy is best performed in places that

264
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.320
violate the fire code. While we don't violate the fire code.

265
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.480
We love pushing up on it. It sounds like a

266
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.360
really good time and that is your comedy news for today.

267
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.399
If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

268
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.240
They might like it too. If you're on YouTube, Look,

269
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.759
I'm an old man. Do what the other cool channels

270
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.919
are telling you do, like hit the bell, like and

271
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.159
smash and all that stuff that the cool hipsters tell

272
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.080
you about. Just do that stuff, all right, Help the

273
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.240
old guy out see tomorrow
