1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.640
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.039
daily comedy News's got some more information about sen Gillis's

3
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:18.199
sixty second Super Bowl ad for bud Light. The campaign

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.640
will introduce the big men of cul de Sacs. Some

5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.800
of the big men are Beton Manning, Post Malone, and

6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.960
Sheen Gillis. These are regular folks who enjoy grilling in

7
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.000
the backyard and talking in the driveway. The ad will

8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.280
air during the Super Bowl at pays tribute to those

9
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.520
neighborhood parties that are happening across every backyard every culd

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.320
de sac in America. A bud Light spokesperson says, we

11
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.039
hope our fans can see themselves in this. I have

12
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.840
a clip for you. I have to cut it short

13
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.920
because the ad uses the Huey Lewis song Power of Love,

14
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.920
and if I let that play through, I'm gonna get

15
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.359
flagged by the people that flag things. So let me

16
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.359
just play a little bit of Shane here at the top.

17
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.119
You wanna go fishing the one? I got a cole

18
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.479
and ask me tomorrow. Pete Davidson will also be in

19
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.880
a Super Bowl ad, this for something called hex Clad.

20
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.880
In the ad Gordon Ramsey is tasked with having to

21
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.799
prepare a meal for a newly discovered alien species at

22
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.280
Area fifty one. The twist spoilers the alien is actually

23
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.840
Pete Davidson playing himself. Pete Davidson jokes all famous people

24
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.200
are aliens. I see what the company says about the

25
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.319
Pete cameo. We had a small list and Gordon was

26
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.680
the one who was like, I want Pete Davidson. It

27
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.239
wasn't a hard sell. Pete was a gem. And the

28
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:23.599
two of them on the set, I mean the only

29
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.120
time there was a second take is when they were

30
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.000
cracking each other up. There was great chemistry. Amy Schumer

31
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.400
wants us to talk about her. She's got this movie.

32
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.760
What is it, uh, something pregnant? I could just look

33
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.239
it up and make an edit here. What is called

34
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.560
kind of Pregnant? I think it's out on Wednesday. You

35
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.239
can tell I'm excited about it. Amy went on Howard

36
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.480
Stern because she thinks it's nineteen eighty five and that's

37
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.000
a good way to promote things. She said. According to Amy,

38
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.040
her porn Teacher's Sketch from the October tenth, twenty fifteen

39
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.359
episode of Saturday Night Live is SNL's most viewed video

40
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.799
on YouTube. Amy said, can you believe that the most

41
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:00.920
viewed SNL sketch of all time is me and Kyle

42
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.239
Mooney the porn teacher. I want to bring it back

43
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.560
for the fiftieth where I'm like a reeltar or something.

44
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:06.959
I was shocked to hear that, and then you're like,

45
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.479
of course, everybody's a pervert. Howard asked who wrote the sketch.

46
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.680
Amy said, oh, some pervert. You know, we just did it,

47
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.800
thought nothing of it. It's like one hundred something million.

48
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.319
It has more than cow Bell. You know, the most

49
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:21.080
classic people really are perverts. A couple comments here, I'm

50
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.280
not claiming I know everything. I have no idea what

51
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.599
this sketch even is. I'm sure people are watching it

52
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.479
on YouTube, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

53
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.400
And she's comparing it to the cow Bell sketch, which

54
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.120
I absolutely know and probably use the phrase more cow

55
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.680
Bell four times a week. So sure, maybe it's got views.

56
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.759
Plenty of things on YouTube of views, but this is

57
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.159
not an iconic sketch. And Amy, if you think Lorne

58
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.000
Michaels has time for you, a non SNL cast member

59
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.240
at this big fiftieth anniversary thing where he's got to

60
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.039
squeeze in a lot of people and a lot of

61
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.439
people that are more famous than you. Good luck. Reps

62
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.759
for Saturday Night Live did not respond to Entertainment Weekly's

63
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:01.240
request for clarification on which writer wrote the sketch. Writers

64
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.960
for season forty two included Chris Kelly, Sarah Schneider, Brian Tucker,

65
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.560
and Ken Sublette. Other staff members at the time include

66
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.680
Michael Ja, Colin Jost, Julio Taurus, and Sudie Green. According

67
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.560
to Entertainment Weekly, more cal Bell has only twenty eight

68
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.960
million views on YouTube, whereas porn Teacher has one hundred

69
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.639
and six million. However, e W says these counts don't

70
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.960
reflect takedowns and re uploads by SNL. More cal Bell

71
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.960
was only uploaded five years ago, despite being a twenty

72
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.840
year old sketch. In case you're curious, second Place is

73
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.800
a Black Jeopardy sketch from twenty sixteen featuring Ssher Zamaa,

74
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.719
Leslie Jones, Keenan Thompson, and Tom Hanks. Amy also said

75
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.039
she often gets a mistake in my fans for Rebel

76
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.199
Wilson and Melissa McCarthy and she doesn't correct them. Amy

77
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.719
says people come up to me and even though one

78
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.639
hundred percent of the time they're sure that I'm Melissa

79
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.360
McCarthy or Rebel Wilson, I don't correct them. I just go, Yeah,

80
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.400
Bride's may totally change my life. I should be so lucky.

81
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.039
Those are beautiful women. Oh, we're gonna talk about Amy

82
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.360
every single day. Jimmy Kimmel was at the fire Aid

83
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.840
concert the other night. He took the stage late in

84
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.919
the show and said, Hi, I'm Olivia Rodrigo. He then

85
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.919
thanked the Benefits organizers and introduced Lady Gaga, who is

86
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.879
the evening's final performer. Ronnie Chang was celebrating Lunar New Year.

87
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.680
He told Forbes, the real tradition is centered around meeting

88
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.959
up with your family. That's the core. Everything else stems

89
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.079
from that. You're braving rush hour traffic to get back home.

90
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.600
Once you get there, you're supposed to have a dinner.

91
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.920
There's gifts exchange and stuff you're supposed to say, but

92
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.800
that all comes from getting family together. Forbes was curious

93
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.160
what sort of things one shouts out. Ronnie said, for context,

94
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.879
I guess the most auspicious things Americans might say, would

95
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.000
be happy New Year or Merry Christmas. For the lunar

96
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.279
New Year, we consolidate all of our well wishes for

97
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.639
the year. And it's connected to tossing the salad. That's

98
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.959
not a euphemism. There's an actual salad that gets tossed. Okay,

99
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.600
move on, good health, prosperity. There are Chinese idioms you're

100
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.480
supposed to shout out. If somebody said they were doing

101
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.800
a business deal, we would say, hope that you kill it.

102
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.920
Tonni Mack. You sure about the salad toss? Ronnie Chang explained,

103
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.959
we would always have roast pork and roast chicken, noodles,

104
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.839
rice and vegetables and snacks, apple tarts. You'll see mandarin oranges,

105
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.319
sunflower seeds, and peanuts. By the way, sometimes people ask me, like,

106
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.879
what do you talk about on this podcast? This and

107
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.600
their arranged in these very pretty containers and lots of red.

108
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.160
You also have to give red packets with money. If

109
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.120
you're married, you have to do it. If you're not married,

110
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.839
you kind of don't have to do it, which is nice.

111
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.279
It's always the older people to give it to the

112
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.800
younger people. Ronnie's not sure how much money he got

113
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.920
when he was younger, because in true Chinese fashion, anything

114
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.519
we got, we gave it to my mother, so I

115
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.959
don't know how much I ever collected. Ronnie was there

116
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.279
plugging some scotch, and thus the thinly disguised paid content

117
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.160
asked Ronnie who he would like to have a scotch with.

118
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.360
His answer, Bill Burr. He's an executive producer of my

119
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.480
latest comedy special Left to Hate It. He's the best,

120
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:47.240
always very supportive and entertaining. TMZ had an update on

121
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.480
the death of comedian Ken Flores, who passed away Wednesday

122
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.439
at age twenty eight. Ken had been dealing with heart issues,

123
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.600
according to the report, and been actively trying to get

124
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.319
healthy before he died. TMZ reports Ken had been suffering

125
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.680
from congestion of heart failure. TMZ further reports that Ken

126
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.800
had been using oxygen and oxygen tanks were found at

127
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.360
the residence. One of Ken's friends found him in his

128
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.639
home after can't experience cardiac arrest, called nine one one,

129
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.720
performed CPR on him. Paramedics arrived. He was pronounced dead

130
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.720
on the scene. Sources tell TMZ no drugs are found,

131
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.600
no foul play is suspected. Mark Marin is playing in

132
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.079
Monterey tonight if you want to go, He's at the

133
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.040
Golden State Theater. He caught up with Monterey County Now

134
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.439
and said, I'm a conversationalist, not an interviewer. I never

135
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.560
prepare a list of questions asked my guests. In fact,

136
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.000
I don't really do much prep at all. I just

137
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.480
looked for a way to kind of zone in on

138
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.040
some way that will result in an intimate conversation. I

139
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.439
try to make an audio portrait of somebody. As for podcasting,

140
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.399
Mark said, I was there at the very beginning, that's all.

141
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.040
It was pretty good cosmic timing and help with podcasting

142
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.319
on the map. None of us, myself included, anticipated this

143
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.000
level of success. It was a complete surprise. Early on

144
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.000
Robin Williams and some other big stars came on and

145
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.480
were being open like never before. It was and still

146
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.480
is just about having intimate, candid conversations about artists and

147
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.319
stars and the processes meant to emotionally and artistically. Maren

148
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.680
credits Sam Kinnison with helping Mark solidify his approach. According

149
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.079
to Mark, however wrong minded Sam was in some ways,

150
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.120
in other ways, he helped me learn about performing comedy

151
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.839
outside the standard envelope, doing something about his delivery. Way

152
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.639
beyond all the screaming. He had like a preacher like

153
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.680
intensity that I liked a lot. He had a special

154
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.680
kind of darkness. People's ideas about stand up are too narrow.

155
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.199
The only responsibility there is to get laughs. However, you

156
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:25.920
can do it. I dare you to tell me I'm

157
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.680
not still a stand up comedian. Well, if you want
