00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.839
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.919
Pinner. Welcome to year seven of Daily Comedy News. I'm

3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.679
Johnny Mackis. Thing started in twenty nineteen, and somehow I

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.719
did it all the way through the pandemic with nothing

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.519
to talk about, plenty to talk about today, and lately

6
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.440
it's been super busy. Hey. Remember Tony Hinchcliff, He's hosting

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.480
WWE Late Night on August second in Anglewood, New Jersey.

8
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.920
Well not anymore. The event has been removed from the

9
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.200
WWE Events page. Refunds are being offered. The event was

10
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.799
going to be hosted by Tony Hinchcliff and WWE star

11
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.119
Cody Rhodes had been officially advertised for the show, although

12
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.280
the only WWE star. I guess we're using particular language there.

13
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.600
We can't just say wrestler anyway, Cody Rose was the

14
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.960
only one who was announced. According to wrestle Tics, less

15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.520
than nine hundred tickets had been sold as of early July.

16
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.399
Less than nine hundred. Yikes, So if you're planning on

17
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.959
seeing Tony Hitchcliffe on the second, you're not. David Letterman

18
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.719
has officially weighed in on Colbert Gate on Letterman's YouTube channel,

19
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.519
David Letterman was the guest on the Barbar Gaines Show.

20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.480
David Letterman, who's seventy eight now. Yikes, Then again, I

21
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.200
guess he was forty when I was a kid, right.

22
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.799
David said, it's all very strange, it's very complicated. But

23
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.599
it was a bit of a surprise, wasn't it. Letterman

24
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.599
speculated the Paramount is capitulating to new owner Ellison, who

25
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.480
might not want any trouble from that guy. Dave did

26
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.879
an impression of Paramount executives going, not only we're gonna

27
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.400
get rid of that guy, We're gonna get rid of

28
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.319
the whole franchise. You don't have to worry about another guy.

29
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.560
It's gone, buddy. Dave said, I think it's sad, But

30
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.120
what this indicates is Ellison doesn't want any trouble along

31
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.799
the lines of freedom of the press or free speech

32
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:47.879
or freedom of expression. They don't want to get their

33
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.000
hands dirty. They don't want the government going after them.

34
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.280
I don't think it was money. I think it was

35
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.760
to make sure that Ellison was stolid spending Dad Larry

36
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.120
Ellison's money. You're telling me losing this kind of money

37
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.799
happened yesterday. I bet they were losing this kind of

38
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:00.319
money a month ago. I bet they were using this

39
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.239
kind of money six weeks ago, or they've never been

40
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.000
losing money. Take a look at the CBS News. It's

41
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.359
still in business and I'm not certain that's a profit center.

42
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.360
They did not handle Stephen Colbert, the face of that network,

43
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.599
and the way he deserves to have been handled one

44
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.400
day of not today. The people at CBS who have

45
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.919
manipulated and handled this are going to be embarrassed because

46
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.479
this is gutless. Dave joke that Colbert has become a

47
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.159
martyr and said, now we've all got to kiss Stephen

48
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.080
Colbert's ring. You may be seeing a lot of headlines

49
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.599
about Jay Leno weighing in on all this. Now, Jay

50
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.560
did comment about Late Night, but he had made the

51
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.719
comments before the Colbert announcement was made. Just over the weekend,

52
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.240
somebody noticed it and it kind of bubbled up on

53
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.400
YouTube and then everybody wrote articles about it. I don't

54
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.680
think it lessens what Jay said, but he did say

55
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.520
it before Colbert Gate. Jay Leno, who's seventy five now,

56
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.080
was interviewed at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. David Trulio,

57
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.039
the president and CEO of the Foundation had noted that

58
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.000
Leno's jokes were equally bounced between mocking Democrats and Republicans. Again,

59
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.000
this before Colbert Gate. Leno says, I got hate letter

60
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.080
saying you and your Republican friends, and another saying I

61
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.759
hope you and your Democratic buddies are happy. That's how

62
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.479
you get a whole audience. Now you have to be

63
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.319
content with half the audience because you have to give

64
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.719
your opinion. Ronnie Dangerfield and I were friends. I knew

65
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.639
Rodney forty years and I have no idea if he

66
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.240
was a Democrat Republican. We never discuss politics. We just

67
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.000
discussed jokes. I like to think that people came to

68
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.879
a comedy show to get away from the pressures of life.

69
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.159
I love political humor, don't get me wrong, But people

70
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.280
wind up cozying too much to one side or the other.

71
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.639
I don't think anybody wants to hear a lecture. Why

72
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.560
shoot for just half an audience? Why not try to

73
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.400
get the whole. I like to bring people into the

74
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.879
big picture. I don't understand why you'd alienate one particular

75
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.840
group where just don't do it all. I'm not saying

76
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.280
after three support on one side, but just do what's funny.

77
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.000
The Hollywood Reporter has a little more about that Chris

78
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.759
Rock mystery set that I told you about on yesterday's show,

79
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.960
Currently Rock, when an hour joked about quote everything from

80
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.039
abandoning Love Island and divorce by promoting his ex wife's

81
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.360
attorney to wonderful halle Berry and the infamous Oscar slap.

82
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.680
Regarding this slap, a source told The Hollywood Reporter that

83
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.520
Chris Rock broached the subject only after an audio member

84
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.960
lobbed a question about the incident. Rock answered with several

85
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.759
hilarious responses. The source said it was a night everyone

86
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.319
who attended will long remember and call the set remarkably brilliant.

87
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.560
It remains unclear what Chris Rock is up to. Very

88
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:20.240
interesting out on Netflix today Dusty Slay's new special Wet Heat.

89
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.319
Dusty hasn't done any press yet that I've seen, but

90
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.600
he said the specials says Hot is a July in Alabama.

91
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.079
I do think it's my best work yet, and I'm

92
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.000
very excited for people to see it. We're having a

93
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.680
good time, that's his catchphrase. Craig Robinson was a comic

94
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.279
con over the weekend. He addressed the stunt last month

95
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.879
where he said he was quitting comedy. He was asked

96
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.800
if he had fooled anybody he knows, He said one

97
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.600
thousand percent everybody. My father was like, what's going on.

98
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.680
I was like, I'll call you back because I didn't

99
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.800
want to taill him. Robinson said, I'm not quitting, gone back.

100
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.800
You're welcome, Yes, dad, dad, I'm still in comedy at

101
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.279
just for laughs. Ryan Reynolds presented Rob Mack with the

102
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.000
Generation Award right after the Lifetime Achievement Trophy had been

103
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.920
given to George Wallace. Ryan Reynolds said Rob second place

104
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.439
to the Lifetime Achievement Award amazing. Reynolds praised Rob Max,

105
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.519
saying Hollywood could be an insipid craphouse of around the

106
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.800
clock shamelessness. You have to willing to be excited to

107
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.480
grind and push a dream up a hill and have

108
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.040
the wherewithal to do it on your own. Nobody does

109
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.360
seventeen seasons of a TV show with the same cast

110
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.000
and crew and also happens to be a D word

111
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.920
jerk fase. And without Rob, there would be no Donkey

112
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.040
series called Welcome to Wrexham. Max said him here because

113
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.240
of Ryan Reynolds who not only took my career into

114
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.879
the stratosphere, but also flew here to give this to me.

115
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.920
Fortune Fimester and May Martin were there receiving the podcast award.

116
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.560
May Martin said, this means a lot to me because

117
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.120
I'm comedian. Fortune added for our community. Representation is still

118
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.040
very much needed, wanted, and it's cool to be talking

119
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.399
about these different topics. George Wallace of the Lifetime Achievement

120
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.199
Awards said that means you've been around for a while,

121
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.160
know a few things, and I know a few things.

122
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.720
At the May Martin and Friends show, the folks from

123
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.800
Exclaimed Canada and Caught it Out. May did a set

124
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.839
of about thirty minutes discussing living in la buying a

125
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.560
house on soil that's actively trying to slide into the ocean,

126
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.079
and befriending a possum. Exclaimed says Martin was trying out

127
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.519
new jokes and they were all hitting. Next up, Nick

128
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.920
muhammed you knew him from Ted Lasso. He rolled on

129
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.040
the stage wearing a pair of vintage roller skates and

130
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.879
almost tripped a few times, did some material about the

131
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.199
absurdity of the twelve Days of Christmas, and then wondered

132
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.560
what if the song is cumulative, that's a lot of gifts,

133
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.120
even displayed a bar graph of the gifts as a

134
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.480
visual backdrop. Nina Khanti got up described as the UK's

135
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.800
Queen of ventriloquism, armed with a foul mouthed monkey puppet

136
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.759
and some terrifyingly realistic lip masks. It was very bizarre

137
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.519
and absolutely hilarious. Sabrina Jaylee's out next jokes about parenthood,

138
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.160
abortion and the semantics of Urdu and closing out the night,

139
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.600
Fortune Fimster also trying out new material at the festival

140
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.319
that is aggressive. Sounds like it was a good show. Friends.

141
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.000
For years, I spoke the truth about Adam sandler comedies.

142
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.839
I was out here all alone, taking on everyone, taking

143
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.839
on the mainstream media, shouting from the mountaintop Adam Sandler

144
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.360
comedies are terrible. Now, Adam Sandler is a good guy.

145
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.079
Everybody who works with them loves him. Never heard a

146
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.920
bad word about him. He's a family man. He's a

147
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.079
man who dresses so casual that he makes me look

148
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.240
like James Bond. And I say that right now. I

149
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.879
am wearing four reel, a yellow baseball cap, a slightly

150
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:28.000
too small shrunk in the wash purple volleyball shirt because

151
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.839
it's one of the shirts I don't mind getting chlorine

152
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.519
on when I clean the pool, and gray sweatpants and

153
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.120
Adam Sandler makes me look like a savvy dresser. Adam

154
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.920
Sandler solid dramatic actor, but he makes terrible comedies. Now,

155
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.639
I don't begrudge the man. If Netflix wrote you that check,

156
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.839
you would say yes. If Netflix asked me, hey, do

157
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.680
you want to be in Happy Gilmore three? You play

158
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.000
Adam Sandler's best friend. I'll be there right now. Or

159
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:50.959
are we filming in Montclair? I'll hop in the car.

160
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.879
I'll be there in twenty five minutes. Hey, Adam, great

161
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:57.120
to see it. Nice outfit. But all that said, Happy

162
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.600
Gilmore two is so bad that it is given others

163
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.600
the courage to speak truth to the reality of Adam

164
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:09.600
Sandler comedies. The Daily Beast has a wonderful review. It

165
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.360
may be the greatest movie review of all time. It's

166
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.560
titled Happy Gilmore Too may be the worst sequel of

167
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.560
all time. Now, I read it and I shared it

168
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.000
in the Facebook group which is Daily Comedy News podcast group,

169
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.879
And this review is so epic. I don't have the

170
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.360
gravitas to read it to you. My voice cannot bring

171
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.160
to life the majesty of these words. From the Daily

172
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.200
Beasts review, Happy Gilmore two may be the worst sequel

173
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.000
of all time. So I have used an ai voice

174
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.919
to read it to you because I want you to

175
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.639
hear it in all its majesty.

176
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.360
Arguably the least inspired film in the actor's canon, if

177
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.279
not all, of movie history, director Kyle Nuachek's follow up

178
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.639
is a cinematic abomination, devoid of imagination, skill, or purpose,

179
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.600
floundering about for a criminally long one hundred and fourteen

180
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.080
minute in search of a single laugh. Even for a

181
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.600
star who's made his fair share of duds. This is

182
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:11.559
Sandler's nay Deer, a cash grabbed nostalgia fest that pairs

183
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.600
terrible new jokes with stale old ones, as well as

184
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.320
piles on cameos from family members and famous friends who

185
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.720
were ostensibly tricked by their love of the original into

186
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:28.879
participating in this Hindenburg grade fiasco. There isn't a person

187
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.960
alive who's ever wondered what became of Sandler's early manchild heroes,

188
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:39.039
and yet Happy Gilmore too, nonetheless opts to answer that

189
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:44.840
question regarding its title character. Happy Gilmore's humor stemmed from

190
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:49.600
Sandler's rage Aholick Bruin's loving protagonist trying to fit into

191
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.960
the prim and proper golf world. But nearly three decades later,

192
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.639
the headliner doesn't radiate anger so much as slovenly inertia

193
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.960
has proven by every aspect of his recent output. The

194
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.840
leaden direction, the half hearted writing his trademark baggy Jim

195
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:14.559
Attire laziness is now Sandler's cinematic brand that clashes poorly

196
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.440
with the spirit of Happy, who here feels like a

197
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:21.399
sleepy approximation of his former self, going through the motions

198
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:28.200
out of begrudging obligation rather than impulse. Virtually every notable

199
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.240
bit from Happy Gilmore is redone, and almost always without

200
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:37.360
a novel twist. Apparently, Sandler and company believe fans have

201
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.919
only been waiting for the same thing, except in sloppier form.

202
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.440
Happy Gilmore too has no courage to be its own thing,

203
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:51.200
and its story involving Happy squaring off against Safti's energy

204
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:55.000
drinky ringers who've had hip surgery to enhance their swings,

205
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.120
its story is so dreary and tossed off that it

206
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.120
feels as if it's actively trying to make viewers tune

207
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:07.679
out between its wooden non actors, squandered comedians, and flat relatives.

208
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.120
It's a mix of the bad, the bad and the bad.

209
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.759
As Sandler has grown into a more accomplished actor see

210
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:21.600
the Meyrowitz stories, hustle and uncut gems, he's lost any

211
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:26.320
trace of his hilarious fastball. His goofiness has grown stale

212
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.799
and dispirited with age, and to date he's failed to

213
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.320
compensate by finding a different register in which to be funny.

214
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.000
With all due respect to grown ups two The Ridiculous

215
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.440
Six and Sandy Wexler. Happy Gilmore Too is the bottom

216
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.320
of the Sandler barrel, a grim disaster that not only

217
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.080
sullies the good name of its ancestor, but so badly

218
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.840
flails on its own limited terms that it suggests the

219
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:57.200
a Lister should concentrate on dramatic parts and leave the

220
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.440
immature comedy to.

221
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.320
Others now As the King of Fairness. Not every review

222
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.679
is that epic. Some are just mistaken. They're well meeting,

223
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.320
but they are mistaken. For example, in Esquire, Brady Langman writes,

224
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.559
and there are spoilers here, but you've had four days

225
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:17.480
to watch Happy Gilmore Too spoilers. Brady writes, I gave

226
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.279
in sometime after Happy Gilmore Too killed Julie Bowen with

227
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.200
a golf ball and dropped Tuesday's Gone for the first yes,

228
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.879
first time, but definitely before the Master's Champion, respected mental

229
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.559
health advocate and generally sweet irishman Rory McElroy was on

230
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.200
the receiving end of I'll Clean Up a Purple Nurple. Actually,

231
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.759
you know it was when Bad Bunny looped up Travis

232
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.480
Kelcey with honey and invited a cgi bear to eat

233
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.759
him alive. That's when I silently told Adam Sandler that

234
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.399
he had won and that, no matter how many times

235
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.279
he'd drink booze from a cucumber across Netflix's sequel to

236
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.960
nineteen ninety six is Happy Gilmore. I would shut up

237
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.759
and enjoy it because I live in a world where

238
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.279
President Big Mac is about to throw hands with Eric Cartman,

239
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.240
which means that I'm entirely allowed to enjoy one uncomplicated

240
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.679
screening of Happy Gilmore Too. We need Heppy Gilmore Too, No,

241
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.960
we absolutely did not. I'm I happy that it exists.

242
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.480
Absolutely while coming nowhere near the heights and ingenuity of

243
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.320
its predecessor. Happy Gilmore two is still a blast, with

244
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.240
every cameo tuned directly into Sailor's comedic frequency. Now you'll

245
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.960
probably see quite a few reviews dunking on Happy Gilmore too,

246
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.159
and as shameless Nossagia plays this weekend. To that, I

247
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.080
say two things, one fair and two. At this point

248
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.360
in Sandler's career, where we know we can bust out

249
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.679
an Oscar worthy performance at any minute, yet chooses to

250
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.159
make them possible to hate escape his comedy where great

251
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.600
his work not only on a curve, but by wholly

252
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:36.720
different benchmarks. My advice, let it wash over you. Enjoy

253
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.840
the sight of John Daily watching Love Island Australia basking

254
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.440
the vision of Ben Steelers's face super imposed on a

255
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.559
golf ball. Let Sandman do as only Sandman can do,

256
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.399
whiskey away from this doom planet for two hours to

257
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:51.279
laugh at M and M's fake beard. I have gotten

258
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.559
more feedback on my Adam Sandlor commentary over the last

259
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.799
few days than I think anything that I've ever done.

260
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.720
I heard from Justin Justin appreciate you listening. Justin said

261
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.399
I liked it a break from reality. With a healthy

262
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.799
dose of nostalgia. Happy gilmore I delivers It was made

263
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.080
for the audience he wanted to see it made period.

264
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.679
Heard from Paul, he wrote, Johnny Mack, I know you're

265
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.919
really against Happy Gilmore Io enjoy being fancy French, but

266
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.000
it's actually pretty good and Happy was a hockey player

267
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.360
pointed out he was making fun of my recent move

268
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:23.200
to Canada. I moved back to get away from the

269
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.960
monkey box, but boy, as a Canadian citizen there for

270
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.159
four days it was great and I do have to

271
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.080
leave you on a sad note. Tom Lair, the political

272
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.080
satirist and mathematician, died age ninety seven over the weekend.

273
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.279
Tom recorded and performed his own music, including his first

274
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.159
solo album, Songs by Tom Lair in nineteen fifty three.

275
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.440
He served in the Army for two years, then released

276
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.840
his second album More of Tom Lair and a live

277
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.200
recording and Evening Wasted with Tom Lair, both of those

278
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.120
in nineteen fifty nine. The next year he was nominated

279
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:55.159
for a Grammy for Best Comedy Performance Parentheses Musical. Then

280
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.080
he decided to quit touring and focus on teaching math. However,

281
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.720
he kept working on me usic on the side. He

282
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.240
did a weekly satire song for the NBC show That

283
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.519
Was the Week That Was. He later released a compilation

284
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.960
of those on That Was the Year That Was That

285
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.080
peaked at number eighteen on the nineteen sixty six Billboard chart.

286
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.480
He also wrote songs for The Electric Company. A beloved

287
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.399
song of my youth. If you're of my age, you

288
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.000
know the Electric Company. We should talk about that show

289
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.519
one time. I mean it had Morgan Freeman and Spider

290
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.120
Man guys. Tom Lair in two thousand said I enjoined

291
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.679
it up to a point, but to me, going out

292
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.360
and performing the concert every night when it was all

293
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.519
available on record would be like a novelist going out

294
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.799
and reading his novel every night. In twenty twenty two,

295
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.399
he announced on his website that he relinquished ownership of

296
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.039
his music to the public domain. He said, help yourself,

297
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.279
don't send me any money. Rest in peace, Tom that

298
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.120
your company used for today see tomorrow.
