00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.480
Calaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.759
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.880
I'm gonna start with a long clip. I usually don't

4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.199
play a clip this long, but it is far and

5
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.800
away the best thing out there today. Kevin Spacey has

6
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.920
revived his House of Cards character Frank Underwood. Why would

7
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.280
he do that to promote Tim Dillon's new comedy special

8
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:28.640
makes a lot of sense to me.

9
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:37.439
Let's listen, you podcasters think you've inherited the kingdom. Hold on,

10
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.640
I'm gonna have to call you back. Whispering in ears,

11
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.880
swaying elections, spinning the truth like it was cotton candy,

12
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.520
when in fact you owe nothing but a bunch of clowns,

13
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.880
juggling Bonu pills and hair tonic. Frank Underwood, I thought

14
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.159
you were dead. I'm as dead as John McCain. He

15
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.640
is dead. Excuse my ignorance. I meant Hermann k He's

16
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.319
also dead, Dean Kane. To be honest, I don't know. Well,

17
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.920
it doesn't matter anyway, because I'm back. And that's why

18
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.840
I need you to go on your little podcast and

19
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.480
say this. I don't do political endorsements. I think you're

20
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:21.079
going to do exactly as I ask, mister Dylan door

21
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:26.400
dash orders made from inside a five stars steakhouse while

22
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.599
at a hotel in Milwaukee in twenty twenty three. You

23
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.319
called a taco bell just to talk. And you once

24
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.480
paid six thousand dollars to have a Carville ice cream

25
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.719
cake overnighted to a theater in Norway and then returned

26
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.879
it for a refund because it wasn't cookie puss.

27
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.959
Jesus Christ, Frank, I'll read it, but first you gotta

28
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.319
plug my comedy special.

29
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.120
Oh Jesus, it's good. I filmed it in Austin. I

30
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.079
don't care if you filmed it on Mars with Elon Musk.

31
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.359
I'm not here to help you.

32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.840
These photos you gave me, I've posted them all.

33
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.239
I'm on the Internet. We don't have blackmail, we have

34
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.759
content world demons from hell, you son of a bitch.

35
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.400
There is no limit to your duplicity, to your panderin,

36
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.599
to your shameless and desperate desire to cling to relevance.

37
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.439
You are you are, I'm what my kind of bestard?

38
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.560
You have my endorsement, mister Dylan, Well, I appreciate that, Franken.

39
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.039
I read ads for Morgan and Morgan Law firm. I'm

40
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.360
sure I can endorse the Daily Wires new musical.

41
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.639
It's really good. Oh, by the way, which network is

42
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:45.639
your comedy special? On Netflix? You found Lonesome, Evil Little Cockroach?

43
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.080
But I love it.

44
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.319
I made a few minor edits there for language. I'm

45
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.199
mad that I could have had this in yesterday's show.

46
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.439
I had seen Tim Dillon's tweet, but the text of

47
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.599
it was, hey, watch my new special, so I just

48
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.879
assumed he shared the trailer. I didn't click on it,

49
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.639
and then I was like, oh, I missed out on this.

50
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.360
What a fantastic job. Why Kevin Spacey did that? I

51
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.759
don't know how Netflix is going to feel about it.

52
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.960
I don't know. And I say that because if you

53
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.879
put on Netflix and they promote House of Cards, they

54
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.639
never ever, ever, ever, never, never ever never show Kevin Spacey.

55
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.159
They act like he wasn't even on the show. I

56
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.759
enjoyed Tim's special. It's a perfectly nice, forty one minutes

57
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.039
constant entertainment. At no point am I like, oh my god,

58
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.680
this is a great special. Ever, But at no point

59
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.199
was I bored either. It moves along for forty one minutes.

60
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.520
It's like Tim strung together a bunch of material he

61
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.960
had sort of worked out on his podcast, which is great.

62
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.960
I like his podcast a lot, and it therefore makes

63
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.680
my top tier of comedy specials of twenty twenty five.

64
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.240
It's already April seventeenth, and boy, it has not been

65
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.719
a good year for comedy specials. Right now. The top

66
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.120
tier is number one. Burt Kreischer is Lucky, and if

67
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.599
Lucky is the best special of the year, that's not

68
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.280
gonna be a good year. And then Tim Dillon's I'm

69
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.759
Your Mother is the number two special of the year

70
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.960
so far. According to one idiot in his basement recording

71
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.560
a podcast, I have in my middle tier Roy Wood,

72
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.759
Ri Severe and Gabe Iglesias, and I have nothing else

73
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.079
on the list yet. Fourth quarter tends to be when

74
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.800
many of the bigger specials come out, so we'll see.

75
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.560
But a really slow start to twenty twenty five anyway.

76
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.040
A recommendation from me on Tim dillon I'm Your Mother

77
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.439
on Netflix, you should watch it. OutKick went with this

78
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.680
review headline comedian releases must watch offensive comedy special woke

79
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.120
losers will hate. That's a great headline, they point out,

80
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.319
Tim Dillon will make fun of absolutely anything, and he's

81
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.279
a great example of what comedy's supposed to be. Nothing

82
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.279
should be off limits. Let's say offensive jokes and don't

83
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.000
give Wokes a single inch. That's the mindset that has

84
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.600
made him a star. And then tap the brakes on

85
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.480
this next part. And his new special is a masterclass.

86
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.879
His new special is fine. His new special is pretty good.

87
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.560
It is not a masterclass. Tap that breaks OutKick he

88
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.920
resurrected just for laugh. SI is starting to announce some things.

89
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.279
They announced Roast Battle Canada and the Galas have been

90
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.720
renewed and will return to the twenty twenty five Just

91
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.639
for Last Montreal Comedy Festival this year July sixteenth through

92
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.079
the twenty seventh. I think I'm gonna go up there

93
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.720
see if I get hassled at the border a little

94
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.199
more than I have in the past. Usually they're like,

95
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.040
come on in, we'll see Rose Battle Canada judges Russell Peters,

96
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.519
Sabrina Jayley's and Kay Trivor Wilson. That's a great lineup.

97
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.800
The series brings together Canada's edgiest comics for a showdown.

98
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.800
The Galas will return. No names announced yet. We got

99
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.240
a little information about the Roast of wrestle Mania, which

100
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.920
is taking place Sunday. Tony Hinchcliff part of that. Not

101
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.680
many details known and it is not going to be

102
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.199
televised supposedly, but they did announce Gabriel Iglesias is now

103
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.879
part of the roast of WrestleMania. Let's stop off at

104
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.519
gossip Corner. THEO Vaughn was in Tuscaloosa. He was spotted

105
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.759
at the Waysider restaurant. The restaurant post that on Facebook

106
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.199
Theovann at the Waysider. Y'all can check them out at

107
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.839
the Amphitheater this weekend. Now this weekend is last weekend.

108
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.360
THEO posted a photo of himself and several University of

109
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.000
Alabama football players on Theo's Instagram with a caption, thank you, Tuscaloosa.

110
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.839
Jimmy Carr, one of my faves, is going to host

111
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.240
Am I the a Hole, the game show based on

112
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.240
that famous subreddit. This will air on Comedy Central UK.

113
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.199
But you know, some of us have our ways. I

114
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.800
have a really really fast plane that allows me to

115
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.199
watch British television and then I'm home two minutes later.

116
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.800
Nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean. Jimmy Carr's

117
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.920
AM I the a Hole invite members of the public

118
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:39.839
to come before the host and a panel of two

119
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.240
other comedians to ask controversial questions. The series will be

120
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.720
filmed late this spring will air later this year on

121
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.839
Comedy Central UK. Jimmy Carr said, there's an impressive number

122
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:50.639
of a holes in our country and they're finally getting

123
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.519
the recognition they deserve on national television. Amy Lee Would

124
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.800
has continued to speak about the SNL sketch that she

125
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.839
didn't enjoy. Hey, Amy, stop talk talking about and it'll

126
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.120
go away. We would have forgotten about this by Sunday

127
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.120
afternoon if he didn't keep talking about it. You may

128
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.639
recall she thought that the White Potests sketch was mean

129
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.360
and unfunny because of Sarah Sherman's interpretation of her character.

130
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.920
According to Wood, Sarah Sherman has sent her flowers. Wood

131
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.160
wrote on Instagram, thank you for the beautiful flowers and

132
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:26.759
tagged Sarah Sherman and added the holding back tears emoji. However,

133
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.680
TMZ is reporting SNL did not reach out to Amy

134
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.720
with a formal apology. TMZ writes we're told Amy may

135
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.360
have spoken to someone she knows on the show, Perhaps

136
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.199
Sarah Sherman, and they may have apologized, but no such

137
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.800
apology came down from SNL in any official or formal capacity.

138
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.720
Sources tell TMZ that SNL wouldn't feel compelled to apologize

139
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.199
to Amy because the show makes fun of everyone's appearance,

140
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.480
for example, Donald Trump's waste in the same sketch. Variety

141
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.279
reporting that Seth Rogan had made a crack about Donald

142
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.240
Trump during the Science Honoring break Through Prizes back on

143
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.079
April fifth, but if you didn't watch the live stream,

144
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.000
they've now clipped out some of the material. The organization's

145
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.279
full upload of the ceremony and other official clips of

146
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.600
Rogan's appearance alongside Edward Norton have been edited to exclude

147
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.040
a quip about attendees. Rogan had reportedly said in the

148
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.720
since cut remark, it's amazing that others in the room

149
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.839
under electing a man who in the last week single

150
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.480
handedly destroyed all of American science. It's amazing how much

151
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.279
good science you can destroy with three hundred and twenty

152
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:32.200
million dollars and Orfka Junior very fast. The Breakthrough Prizes

153
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.360
have confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that Rogan's joke was

154
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.159
one of several edits to the show. They're reasoning I

155
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.960
was made in order to meet the originally planned runtime. Yeah,

156
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.039
because you know, this is the Internet. You know how

157
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.919
long today's podcast is. It's however long it is. That's

158
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.240
how the Internet works. Variety comments and on the originally

159
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.879
planned runtime excuse and says this seems unlikely as the

160
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.279
ceremony would not have had to conform to any broadcasting

161
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.559
scheduling requirements as it was not aired on TV networks. Additionally,

162
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.600
the standalone clip of Rogan and Norton's on stage presentation

163
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.639
seems unlikely to have had an originally planned run time.

164
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.279
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Rommy Yusef has a new

165
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:19.120
television show out today, Happy Family, USA, and an animated series.

166
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.120
You'll find it on Amazon Prime. It takes place around

167
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.279
nine to eleven. Rommie says to bring in the events

168
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.399
of the early two thousands felt important in the sense

169
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.399
that it's something we talk about all the time. It's

170
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.720
part of what we're currently experiencing. It's never gone away.

171
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:32.720
And when I think about how long those themes have

172
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.200
been directly part of my life and the lots of

173
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.000
people that I know. To get to step into a

174
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.759
period of time that I don't think has escaped us

175
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.960
in any way, unfortunately, And to do it in a

176
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.159
style that's familiar in terms of trotting on political things

177
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:43.960
that can feel a little difficult and undercuts them and

178
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.879
doesn't make them feel so viatile. To give this kind

179
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.840
of family that treatment is exciting, and to go at

180
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.120
this through an unexpected and very silly lens. Maybe that's

181
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.120
where the hope feeling comes from. The Times pointed out

182
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.960
there's a title card at the top of every episode

183
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.879
that warns that the character should not be taken as representation.

184
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.600
They asked Rami, yusef, why are you so uncomfortable with representation?

185
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.639
Rommy said, when we put out Rami on Hulu, I

186
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.000
remember seeing a headline that was like Muslims, here's the

187
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.360
show for you, and my heart sinking going no, no, no.

188
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:12.960
We're two billion people and a lot of them are

189
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.039
not gonna like what I'm doing, and they shouldn't because

190
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.639
I'm a guy from New Jersey who thinks this type

191
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.879
of thing is funny. Putting the representation warning was a

192
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.240
cathartic thing of being like, listen, this is not speaking

193
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.279
en mass at all. I know you guys didn't elect me,

194
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.840
and also to be like, hey, I agree with you.

195
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.879
This is not a slice of what it's like for everybody.

196
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.240
Good couplet of questions here from the time so they

197
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.559
asked Rommi, does it feel like tinder comedy is harder

198
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.200
to get made than caustic comedy? Good answer here. Bad

199
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.360
news spreads faster than good news. No one's like, hey,

200
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.799
we recycled a lot. It's not really headline. Talk to

201
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.919
any Netflix executive. Any Netflix execs secretly will be like, hey,

202
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.840
can you throw a murder into your show? Can you

203
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.200
throw some sexual assault in? But also people used to

204
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.559
get together, watch public hangings. We're sick times caught up?

205
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.120
Is that really a thing someone said to you? Can

206
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.399
you throw a murder in there? Rommi said they're not

207
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.480
explicitly asking, but they would never moump. The Guardian also

208
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.120
spoke with Rommy, who has a theory, the more effed

209
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.360
up the climate, the stupid or television must be. You

210
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.879
need something dumb to cut through the tension for relief.

211
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.360
The Guardian piece points out that Happy Family USA is

212
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.200
a prime video production. Amazon donated a million dollars to

213
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.480
the Trump Inauguration Fund. Does Robbie believe this show would

214
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.480
be greenlit today. He says, this feels like a glitch. Honestly,

215
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.200
if I walked in pitch this today, they'd say, no,

216
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.679
what are you talking about? They'd literally say, what the

217
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.440
hell are you thinking? Would be told it's too polarizing

218
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:34.120
for now. Happy Family USA Prime Video. It is a

219
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.840
big day at the moonte Er Comedy Festival, so I

220
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.840
better get to it. There are thirty one different shows

221
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.480
listen on the website. I'm not going to go through

222
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.759
all of them. At five o'clock The Goblin Happy Hour

223
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.120
with John goblecan I recently mentioned I had never heard

224
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.639
of this until I don't know whenever I mentioned it

225
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.200
on the show three four days ago last week. John

226
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:57.759
GOBLECN is a beloved Internet sensation metal band frontman, insurance salesman,

227
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.159
published author, and podcast host. As the lead singer of

228
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.919
the band Necro goble Con, John has starred in several

229
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.080
viral music videos, leading to sold out tours across North America,

230
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:10.360
Europe and Australia. Is philosophy be less mean, be more green,

231
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.039
don't be a troll, be a Goblin? All right? This

232
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.559
seems like fun. Maybe I'm just late to this, and

233
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.679
the rest of you were like, how do you not

234
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.679
know what? John goble con is, I didn't know, sorry,

235
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.200
Friend of the show, John Marco SIRESI is doing his podcast.

236
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.840
At six o'clock. Let's go on. Cotska at the Paramount

237
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.120
at seven. She is fantastic, one of my faves. Maria

238
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.600
Bamford at the Thompson Theater at seven. A show at

239
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.600
seven thirty called the Texans. I'm gonna guess what this

240
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.039
is about, and I like the premise. If I'm correct,

241
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.600
there's no description. I'm going to guess it's several comedians

242
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.519
from Texas. Somebody could have written a paragraph. Eight o'clock

243
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:53.519
at Sunset strip Redband's Secret Show with Brian Redband stars

244
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.600
in Bars at an Tunes at nine Almetrical Data, Gould,

245
00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.960
Todd Berry among the line up there. That's a good show.

246
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.200
Nine forty five, what's your effing deal? At the Vulcan

247
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.360
Gas Company? Big Jay, Ian Bag, Chris Porter, Orny Adams,

248
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.000
Josh Adam Myers. Ten o'clock, tag It at Sunset Strips,

249
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.559
Clark Brothers, Al Madrigal, Jackie Kation, li'sa Trigger, Dana Goule.

250
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:17.759
That's a nice lineup, and this thing stays strong through Saturday.

251
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.759
Bill Maher got into it with a reporter who questioned

252
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.799
Bill Moore meeting with Donald Trump. Bill Maher had said,

253
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:25.240
you can ate me for it, but I'm not a liar.

254
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.200
Trump was gracious and measured. I don't know, and I

255
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.000
can't answer, and it's not my place to answer. Just

256
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.840
telling you what I saw, and I wasn't high. Washington

257
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.840
Post columnist Josh Rogan said, I think you've fallen into

258
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.120
the trap. And I think I represent ninety nine percent

259
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.840
of the internet when I say this, You've played the

260
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.919
game of proximity is principle. I'm not questioning your motivation.

261
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.960
I'm questioning Trump's. Okay. Mar responded, you don't have to

262
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.000
patronize me, dude, I don't know, you've never met you.

263
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:49.960
Not everyone has to like it, That's what we said.

264
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.480
There are people who didn't want it to happen. You

265
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.240
sound like one of them. It's okay. Rogan tried to

266
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.120
talk over more in response, and mar said, you what

267
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.080
I just said. What's the alternative to not talking? Just

268
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.799
sit at your lunch table, don't talk to anybody. Rogan

269
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.960
didn't let up and said, I agree with the principle

270
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.600
of engagement. I'm just saying from Trump's perspective, all Americans

271
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.399
know that for him, this was a PR stunt and

272
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.600
in his view, you were a prop in that PR stunt.

273
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.519
Piers Morgan jumped into this conversation, he was a guest

274
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.039
on the same panel, and said, I don't agree with that.

275
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:18.799
If you go on social media for five minutes now

276
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:20.919
and you just have this treble fury raging all day long,

277
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.200
everyone's got to be implacably there, implacably here. And actually

278
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.120
most Americans and most Brits they're not like this. And

279
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.799
then the idea that Bill Maher is now going to

280
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:32.559
stop criticizing Donald Trump is preposterous. And let me do

281
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.879
you an update on Kunal Camera. Remember he was accused

282
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.399
of being a trader and got into some trouble over

283
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.879
there in India. Well, the Bombay High Court has granted

284
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:49.039
Canal Camra interim relief in the trader joke case. Doesn't

285
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.919
mean that he won't be in future trouble, but for

286
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.679
now they're looking into it. The comedian was under charges

287
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.399
of public mischief and defamation and was later transferred to

288
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:04.120
a Police Reports suggests that he didn't actually name the politician,

289
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.240
but some people in a different political party, if I

290
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.799
understand this correctly, said that he referred to the politician

291
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.559
as a trader. In response, a group of party workers

292
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.879
vandalized habitat studio where the comedian had performed. Twelve individuals

293
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.399
were arrested for that incident and granted bail. Comra said

294
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.480
he also received death threats following the controversy. And that

295
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.919
is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,

296
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:30.440
tell a friend about it. They might like it to you.

297

If you're on YouTube, you know, do the YouTube stuff, subscribe,

298

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.519
doing it. The other YouTubers will tell you what that's

300
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.559
all about. Just whatever they say to do, just do that.

301
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:40.320
See tomorrow.
