00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.839
Oh my god, I'm so upset. Every time I do a zoom call,

2
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.360
it resets the audio levels. Like
I work to make this thing try

3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.000
and sound good. And I caught
it before I recorded today, and I

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.560
adjusted the levels. And then as
you hear, I'll get into this big

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.399
thing about pizza in the second half, and I stopped the file to see

6
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.640
how long the show was, and
I'm like, oh, everything is too

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.559
hot, so I'm gonna have to
do some surgery on the audio here.

8
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.480
So if the first fifteen minutes or
so sounds a little wonky, that's what

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.519
happened. Then after the pizza story, I caught it. Ah, this

10
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.719
is so annoying, but I have
my good fastball today and I don't want

11
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.200
to redo the whole show. I
hope you understand, all right, let's

12
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:47.560
hit it. Callaroga Shark Media.
Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

13
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.359
company news. There was obviously some
sort of Trevor Noah news embargo. I

14
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.520
prepped the show early on Wednesday because
I had to do an airport run.

15
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.679
And then I came back and I'm
like, let me see if there's anything

16
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.000
new, And there were fifty million
triv Noah stories all of a sudden,

17
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.959
so that Adam Bargo must have run
out. At ten a m. The

18
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.640
Hollywood Reporter caught up with Trevor.
He's hosting any Grammy Awards for the fourth

19
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.519
time. He's hosting it on Sunday. Back in twenty twenty, Trivor was

20
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.719
not the host, but he was
nominated for Best Comedy Album. Again.

21
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.640
Longtime listeners know this. Trevor Noah
doesn't have a comedy album. He has

22
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.159
a comedy special that was released,
but the Grammys and I how define albums

23
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.200
differently. I wish they were a
Trevor Noah comedy album. I would play

24
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:30.920
it on Live one, but there's
no such thing. Even though he got

25
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.920
a nomination for her Best Comedy Album
at the twenty twenty Grammys, we lost

26
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:40.000
to Dave Chappelle's Sticks and Stones,
which really isn't an album either. That

27
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:45.040
one, at least Chappelle put out
like nine copies on vinyl, so theoretically

28
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.079
it was an album. This year, Trevor Noah is going up against Chris

29
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:53.159
Rock's Selective Outrage Special not an album, Wanda Sykes I'm an Entertainer Special not

30
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.079
an album, Sarah Silverman's Someone You
Love special, not an album, Jenny

31
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.879
Mack. What's an album? An
album is something that's preferably audio for,

32
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.079
but at least has an version of
it that I can buy, like on

33
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.599
a CD or a cassette or vinyl
or an MP three and just listen to

34
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.319
it. These things don't even get
repurposed these days anyway. Trevor Noa says,

35
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.879
I'm nominated alongside my heroes one of
Psykes, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle.

36
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.960
I don't ever take those moments for
granted. I think to myself how

37
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.719
crazy it is to even be in
the same category as these people. When

38
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.199
I was thinking of doing comedy,
Dave Chappelle was a ready and accomplished comedian.

39
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.159
When I was thinking of starting to
maybe tell somebody joke, Chris Rock

40
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.479
was already one of the biggest comedians
in the world, and I guess he

41
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.199
realized, oh, I'd better say
something about Wanda, and the same goes

42
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.280
for Wanda Sykes. Nice save Trevor. So. I've never been somebody who's

43
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.719
in a rush to win or be
thought of as the best at anything.

44
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.400
I'm really, really, really not
even saying this just to be humble or

45
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.120
anything. I'm really happy and grateful
to just be in that company. Trevor

46
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.280
is nominated for I Wish You Would, which is a special non album,

47
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.960
while Dave Chappelle is nominated for What's
in a Name, which is a special

48
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.159
not album. Trevor says, I'm
glad it's happening in my fourth year hosting

49
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.719
the awards, because I think in
my first year that would have been an

50
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.599
emotional overload being nominated for a Grammy
so ohm amentas that, I don't know

51
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.719
how you could focus on hosting a
show at the same time, and hosting

52
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.719
the show is so much stress.
There's so much that's happening live that you

53
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.000
don't want to be distracted by this
idea that you may or may not win

54
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.840
an award. This may be the
perfect time for it to happen a lot

55
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.800
more Trevor Noah over the next few
days. Like I mentioned at the top,

56
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.759
there's a zillion articles all of a
sudden. Rolling Stone says that they

57
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:27.400
can exclusively reveal that Sebastian Maniscalco will
break the record for most consecutive comedy shows

58
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.560
at Madison Square Garden. He's added
a fifth night to his New York City

59
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.520
stand. He sold out shows September
eighteenth through the twenty first. He has

60
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.000
now added a fifth show September twenty
second. There was a press release.

61
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:44.360
I'll get to split the press release
here. All these quotes are attached to

62
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.960
Sebastian Manuscalco. The first quote attached
to Sebastian. I think he might have

63
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.479
said, I am sincerely humbled and
filled with gratitude for the unwavering support of

64
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.919
my fans granted me the extraordinary opportunity
to perform five consecutive historic knights at the

65
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.759
world's most famous arena, New York
City, especially MSG has shown me so

66
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.280
much love. Maybe he said that
I've worked on some presh releases in the

67
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.400
past. I could see. Maybe
a publicist wrote that in as Sebastian,

68
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.080
Hey, you're right with this quote
and him going yeah, this next part,

69
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.800
yeah. Maybe he said my only
goal when I got into this business

70
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.439
was to perform for a living,
and since it's taken me for ride,

71
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.560
I've only dreamed of breaking my own
personal record. Here is not just a

72
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:24.920
milestone, but a testament to Sebastian
use the word testament, but a testament

73
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.000
to the amazing connection we share and
love for comedy. Thank you for the

74
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.319
overwhelming support and making this journey unforgettable. All right, maybe he said that,

75
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.600
But here I have in my show
notes I wrote ridiculous quote. Are

76
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.199
you ready for a ridiculous quote?
This ridiculous quote is attributed to Sebastian Maniscalco,

77
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:45.319
who supposedly said, quote, brace
yourselves for an elevated comedy tour,

78
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.279
a unique experience unlike anything I've embarked
upon in the past. From roasting today's

79
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:55.839
absurdities, non existent manners, wallet
wincing prices, and the social media circus.

80
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.839
We'll all laugh at the wrongs in
this shameless world. Nice that as

81
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.680
he was giving a quote, he
even used the press release rule of three.

82
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.199
There come on, guys, the
other thing that all of a sudden

83
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:10.160
has a ton of press. Curb
your enthusiasm. Also back on Sunday,

84
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.959
Larry David announced a short tour.
He will join a Mystery Moderator in Washington

85
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.519
on March twenty ninth and in Boston
on April first. Tickets for a Conversation

86
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.279
with Larry David and Mystery Moderator now
on sale. Larry said, Hi everyone,

87
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.600
it's Larry. I'm really looking forward
to seeing you all. Just so

88
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.480
you know, I've recently had plastic
surgery on my face and the doctor,

89
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.680
which everyone raved about, totally watched
it, leaving me a devoid of all

90
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.600
expressions. So if I seem more
sour than usual, that's the reason.

91
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.000
But don't let it stop you from
having fun. Now, that's a quote

92
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.160
that sounds like Larry David actually said
that, or at least wrote it.

93
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.319
Larry will also headline a Palyfest on
April eighteenth with the Curb Gang, including

94
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:54.040
Jeff Garland, Suzy Smnd, Cheryl
Hines, JB. Smooth, Richard Lewis,

95
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:59.399
and Ted Danson. And how about
this Friday through Sunday, Max HBO

96
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.000
Max HBBO Max Max Max HBO Max
will stage a real life version of Latte

97
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.720
Larry's the Spike Store Cafe at the
center of Season ten. I'll give you

98
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.040
the address in a second Get Out
of Pen if you're in California. Latze

99
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.360
Larry's will be serving up hot cups
of spie and extra dry scones in Culver

100
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:20.800
City twelve four to thirty Washington Avenue

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.879
Sundays, seven am to four pm. The menu features vegan options, and

102

stores will carry limit edition manates,
carby Your Enthusiasm, collaborative t shirts and

103
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.399
mugs, plus a special Blends signature
roast of latte Larry's Beans. There's a

104
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.360
limit of one coffee and scone per
customer while supplies last. That's fun.

105
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.720
Bill Simmons as Larry David on the
newest edition of his podcast that I didn't

106
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.360
get to listen to it yet.
I did pull the transcript, and for

107
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.639
Today's Daily Comedy News, I just
pulled a part about the Jets because I'm

108
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.639
a known Jets hater, and I'll
go through the transcript and pull some more

109
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.000
stuff out tomorrow. I just didn't
have time to go through an hour of

110
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.120
transcript that I haven't actually heard.
When I've heard things, I make mental

111
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.160
notes like, oh, go to
the thirty six minute market, pull this

112
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.600
part. But I haven't listened to
Simmons yet. Anyway, The topic is

113
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.199
Larry David not watching Jets games live
because he golfs on Sunday, and he

114
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.319
says, I record the games and
after the first of second week, everybody

115
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.000
knows. Don't text me, I'm
gonna watch the game later on. So

116
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.759
this goes on until I send a
text out and go I don't give a

117
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.959
shoot anymore. Just tell me what's
happening. You can text me during the

118
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.480
game. It doesn't matter. It's
over. So Bill Simmons was like,

119
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.079
last year, what was that around
Week thirteen? Simmons says, it seemed

120
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.279
like there was a moment last season
where the Jets were gonna suck you back

121
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.399
in, that they were lingering and
maybe Aaron Rodgers would come back. Larry

122
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.399
said, I never believe that for
a second. That was ridiculous. The

123
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.120
Street with the loaded headline bud Light
partners with right wing comic fired for racist

124
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.360
comments. The subheading the comedian lost
his job at Saturday Night Line before he

125
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:53.439
even started you know it is now
and he also made homophobic comments and jokes.

126
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.759
Now, Annheuser Busch has leaned further
into politics by partnering with right wing

127
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.240
comedian Shane Gillis. Gillis and bud
Light shared the news on Insta. Shane

128
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.720
posted a picture of himself at a
brewery saying excited to announce partnership with bud

129
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.040
Light. Hashtag bud Light partner.
The Street reminds us in a bit of

130
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.079
a loaded way, while he's not
a household name. Gillis became more famous

131
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.959
for job he loss than any job
he's head. The comedian was hired in

132
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.959
twenty nineteen to join USNL along with
Bone Yang and Chloe Feineman. Just hours

133
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.639
later, a video went viral on
Twitter in which Gillis mocks Chinese people using

134
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.079
several racial slurs during an episode of
his podcast, and the now deleted YouTube

135
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.600
video, Gillis and his co host
shared a slew of racist to quote unquote

136
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.919
jokes against Chinese Americans, mocking their
accents and culture. I've never met Shane.

137
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.919
I found his special last year pretty
funny. While I've listened to his

138
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.519
podcast in modern times, I did
not listen to it back then, so

139
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.159
I'm not familiar with the bit.
And it's interesting that bud Light has now

140
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.960
pivoted from Dylan mulvaney to Shane Gillis. I guess they won't appeal to everyone,

141
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.759
so we've been having fun all week
with Remember, however, it was

142
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.799
phrased renowned comic or world famous comic
Bobby Lee, and then renowned comic or

143
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.559
whatever he was Joey Gatto. So
Fox Spokane wrote Tom Sagora, a widely

144
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.759
known standup comedian. Tom Sagora,
a widely known Stan up comedian, will

145
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:18.039
be headlining seven unforgettable dates Calgary,
Halifax, London, Ottawa, spoke Hanne,

146
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.759
Vancouver, and Winnipeg. It's all
part of the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival.

147
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.480
Fox Spokane tells US is first time
the festival will be making an appearance

148
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.639
in the States. They're using Spokane
as a test market, joining Tom Sagora,

149
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.399
widely known Sandwa comedian are Bobby Lee
no qualification there because I guess they

150
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:41.240
assume everybody knows who Bobby Lee is
and hilariously relatable comedian Jessica Kerson. All

151
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.600
right, I feel bad for Liz
m I shot her a note on the

152
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.279
side. She had bought me five
coffees on buying me a coffee dot com

153
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.159
slash Daily Comedy News, and was
looking forward to me saying nothing but good

154
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.960
things about Adam Sandler movies. Originally
I said I was going to do this

155
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.279
Saturday, but now I have all
this Trevor Noah and kurb stuff, and

156
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:05.200
just editorially, it doesn't make sense
for me to hand in a generic this

157
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.720
weekend and the next week in at
Super Bowl. So maybe on the seventeenth,

158
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.759
I will do it. Liz,
I hope you understand. Also,

159
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.480
cards up if I put Trevor Noah
in an episode title, it helps for

160
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.159
SEO because people are looking for Trevor
and Noah's podcast and they find this one.

161
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.960
If you're a new listener, Hi, push that plus button on your

162
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.919
Apple app there and follow the show. So, Liz, I hope you

163
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.080
understand. And Liz's kids be nice
to mom. Will Yeah, your mom

164
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:35.639
is pretty cool. On Gossip Corner, Joe Coy visits Benny's Pizza in Beaumont.

165
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.919
Twelve News Now tells us Joe Coy
was at the Parkdale Mall. He

166
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.799
decided to visit several businesses inside the
mall. The founder of Benny's Pizza is

167
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.559
Brandon. He was in for surprise
when a celebrity showed up to his store.

168
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.320
That celebrity Joe Coy. Brandon says, I got a phone call from

169
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.440
the store saying they needed to get
inside of our showcase that a customer wanted

170
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.039
to buy something. When I arrived
to open up the showcase, it was

171
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.000
him and I said, hey,
Hey, that's Joe Coy. Apparently,

172
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.639
Brandon owns a place called Vault four
O nine. In case you're wondering why

173
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.320
the Pizzeriha has a showcase, they
don't. I left that part out.

174
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:15.120
Let's see what Vault four o nine
is here him on the park Dale mal

175
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.279
website. Vault four O nine is
the best in caps fashioning for him in

176
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.200
the four oh nine housing brands such
as Liberty and Kicks, Supreme, Bape,

177
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.879
Yeezy Jordan, and much more.
So. It seems that mister Cooy

178
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.440
was interested in sneakers or something.
While I'm on the website, one of

179
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.559
the taps says, eat so Joe
Koy, he got pizza. I'll get

180
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.720
back to the pizza, but let's
see what else he could have gotten.

181
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.759
There's a place called Seafood Corner that
could be a segment on this podcast.

182
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.480
Let's hit Seafood Corner and see what's
going on. They don't have a menu

183
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.759
up, they don't even have a
logo. It's just plain text Seafood Corner.

184
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.080
They're open from eleven to seven and
there were no deals at this time.

185
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.000
Please check back later. Other places
Joekoy chose not to eat LVA Ho

186
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:03.320
Tony Mexican grill, Auntiani's Pretzels always
good choice are Taco McDonald's. By the

187
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.840
way, if you like McDonald's,
we're doing a podcast called The Weekly Mac

188
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.679
that's about McDonald's in fast food.
It's strangely amazing. The Weekly Mac wa

189
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:18.440
podcasts sense Japanese cuisine, Domino's at
a mall, Las Mocha heades. Another

190
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.879
Mexican restaurant, the Mellow Mushroom with
pizza in their logo. Let's see what

191
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.360
they got. Mellow Mushroom makes the
best pizza in Beaumont. Old ingredient combinations

192
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.200
on a homemade crust make Mellow Pies
the most delicious around. Now in the

193
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.039
Moon for a pizza, order a
calzone, hoky sandwich, burger or Mellow

194
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.279
salad. See how care goes in
every item on the menu. They're open

195
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.200
at eleven am every day. If
you're curious, No, I want to

196
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.360
know why Joe Coid didn't get his
pizza there. Then there's Benny's Pizza,

197
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.320
which we're gonna come back to.
La Cantina Mexican Grill. A third Mexican

198
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.799
option here at the Haarkdale Mall.
Chinese Gourmet Nothing, Bunt Cakes, chat

199
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.120
Cha Tea House, Taco Bell in
case. The other three Mexican places weren't

200
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.200
doing it for you, Burger King, Buffalo Wild Wings. Benny says,

201
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.840
they're bringing the best pizza to the
four oh nine, delivering specialty made pizzas,

202
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.320
appetizers, and drinks you'll not find
in your average pizza shops. Seems

203
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.960
like there's little pizza rivalry. These
guys are open ten to eight, except

204
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.159
Sundays they close at six. Anyway, when we last left, isn't my

205
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.440
podcast ridiculous? When we last left, owner of Brandon was opening the showcase

206
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.159
at Vault four oh nine apparently,
and before JOKOI left, Benny told him,

207
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.159
you need to try a slice of
Southeast Texas at Benny's Pizza. I

208
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.320
wanted to change from what the old
pizzai had, add my crazy flavors like

209
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.799
brisket, garlic, parmesan, shrimp, just a bunch of different flavors that

210
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.879
the city probably hadn't seen before.
Benny tells us he absolutely loved the pizza.

211
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.799
He actually bought some for his whole
team. He left well over four

212
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.360
boxes of pizza. We sell whole
pies, but he ended up buying eighteen

213
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.879
slices for him and his team.
Why would you buy eighteen slices. Why

214
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:00.960
wouldn't you buy two pies and two
slices? We're told Joe Koy went traditional

215
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.399
cheese slice, or as we call
it in Queen's Slice. I hate whant

216
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.200
to go to a pizzeria. I'm
just this isn't green to me as a

217
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.879
New Yorker. I'll walk in and
I'll go slice. And they asked me

218
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.039
what I want? I said slice. Slice means just a plan cheese pie

219
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.000
cut in an eate and give me
one eighth of the pie. That's what

220
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.200
a slice is. Just slice,
dude, Come on, Benny says,

221
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.919
it's an experience I'll never forget.
So this is the part where the audio

222
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.039
sounds the way it's supposed to.
That took the wind out of my sales.

223
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.879
I was having so much fun with
that pizza thing. There's no way

224
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.159
I can do that again. I'll
never do it as well. Who's its

225
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.240
sketch Fest? That was awful.
I knew the levels were wonky because of

226
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.080
the stupid zoom. Leave my levels
alone, will yeah, every time it

227
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.279
resets them. Okay. Sketch Fest
Thursday, February first, seven o'clock the

228
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.480
Bay Area pun Off sold out.
That sounds like a good time. What

229
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.399
is that? Some say it's an
affliction. We're gonna go ahead and call

230
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.600
it comedy. Sketch Fest invites you
to celebrate the contagious power of the pun,

231
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.720
the lowest form of comedy, the
highest form of intellect. Seven fifteen.

232
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.600
Eight sketch Fest also sold out.
Seven thirty The Bechdel Cast, Matt

233
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.000
Bronger, Those Different shows Mortified with
Jonason cool Ton, The Fast and the

234
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.039
Furious and musical parody I'm making you
go to that. There's nothing that would

235
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.159
be better than that South Asian af
Boy. That's a great show. There's

236
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.080
a lot of comedians on this,
so many tough choices. Eight o'clock Michael

237
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:26.480
Shannon and Friends play Ram's murmur That's
Weird. Eight fifteen. The wonderfully titled

238
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.720
Comedians with Disabilities Act nine point thirty. So say we all Vamp non Fiction

239
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:39.879
showcase blend's populist accessibility with an intense
literary boot camp to produce polished multimedia performances

240
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.480
of wild, absurd, poignant,
and hilarious true tales. All right,

241
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.480
if we were out there, I'd
really like to see the puns? Can

242
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.320
we do the puns? At seven
and we'll leave early and run across the

243
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.879
town. I don't know where these
are. Sketch Fest is pretty stretched out

244
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.000
across San Francisco. It's not like
the Montreal Comedy Festival, where most things

245
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.279
are within five blocks. If you
hustle, you can get from one or

246
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.960
the other. Seven o'clock is Puns. Seven thirty Fast and the Furious and

247
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.960
musical parody. I'm gonna have to
blow off puns and make you go to

248
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.279
Fast and the Furious. I love
the Fast and the Furious. That's like

249
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.159
one of my favorite things in life. So I'll drag you to that,

250
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.360
and then for a late show.
See, we're also gonna miss Comedians with

251
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.080
Disabilities act. Do we do puns
in that? I also want to see

252
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.159
the South Asian Show though, Nope, We're doing Fast and the Furious.

253
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.840
And then we'll do a taste of
Sketch Fast featuring a million Shetland Ponies,

254
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.799
Cam Wiley, day Trip, Liam
Harvey and Sage Houston. And that is

255
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.279
your comedy news for today. I've
got two stories, but they can wait

256
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.840
for tomorrow because I have no idea
what kind of levels I'm getting out of

257
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.039
my computer now. They look fine, but I'm so annoyed at that fifteen

258
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.960
minute stretch there. I apologize.
I will do a better job. Adam

259
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.240
Sailor is right, I make terrible
podcasts. See you tomorrow.
