00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:12.800
Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news, A

3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:15.720
daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry.

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.239
A sentence which the algorithm really likes. Because we don't

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.160
say it, the numbers go back down. If you missed

6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.280
yesterday's episode, or if you balled and you're like, I

7
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.760
don't care about Kermit the frog with this episode sucks.

8
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.879
The last story in yesterday's episode is so much fun.

9
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.519
Make sure you go back and at least listen to

10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.679
that one. Today will be a little more serious in

11
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.399
a second, as we get into Andrew Schultz. But let's

12
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:38.399
start with this story. You may have seen it. This

13
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.960
hit the mainstream press. From the SmartLess podcast, Will Arnett

14
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.240
revealed that a quote very famous comedian that Arnett describes

15
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.920
as an fing rank a hole was kicked off SmartLess.

16
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.640
Arnette said, we cut him off after ten minutes and

17
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:55.399
said thanks so much and ditched him. He joked, you'll

18
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.039
be blown away by who it is because you'll be like,

19
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.439
how did you get Bill Cosby? It's not Bill Cosby.

20
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.600
People are speculating on who it is and the timing

21
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.959
of it. The internet is speculating that the answer would

22
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.319
be Chevy Chase, that Chevy would have been recently promoting

23
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.719
his documentary, and Chevy does have a reputation. Again, I

24
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.599
don't know Ornette didn't say, but the internet seems to

25
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.079
think Chevy Chase. That's not a bad guess. Andrew Schultz

26
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.519
seems to have some evolving opinions on the President of

27
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.799
the United States. Got a few articles discussing mister Schultz

28
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.079
evolving opinions on the President of the United States. But

29
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.359
let's hear from Andrew Schultz himself. He was a guest

30
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.000
on Charlemagne's podcast. There is some salty language in this clip.

31
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.280
Not not too bad, but some salty words that I

32
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.640
normally don't use on the podcast, but in this case,

33
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.920
I'm gonna let them go. If you don't like salty language,

34
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.200
you've been warned, but I'm pretty confident you can handle it.

35
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.640
Here's Andrew Schultz talking to Charlemagne.

36
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.920
Look, I know I had Trump on the podcast, you know,

37
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.079
and I'm away explaining that, but let me let me

38
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.000
just clarify, because I think it is important to say, like,

39
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.000
I know how I had him on the podcast, and like,

40
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.040
so I when I'm talking out about this. I'm not

41
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.760
doing it to like, you know, get people to be like, oh,

42
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.319
you's a good guy or whatever like that, or trying

43
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.599
to get anybody on my side. I understand that this

44
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.199
is a horrific event that happened. I objectively want to

45
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.960
talk about it. I'm not trying to like win anybody

46
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:16.400
over in this.

47
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.439
You understand, you know, it just me right and wrong right, wrong.

48
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.599
And there's a difference between like respecting and honoring the Constitution,

49
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.879
the backbone of our country, and then completely shredding it.

50
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.879
And this is completely shredding it. And now they're realizing

51
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.400
that people have noticed it, and now they're.

52
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.080
Trying to backtrack it. But by the way, he's been

53
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.479
wiping his ass with the constitution.

54
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.240
Sure, and I've been on a record a million times saying,

55
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.879
like whenever when he said we should terminate the Constitution

56
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.000
to overthrow the results of an election, she liked, that

57
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.039
got to be disqualifying if you run O for president.

58
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.680
So here's a for example. So it's like, I know

59
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.039
that there are people sounding the alarms about this. When

60
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.639
I saw these last few weeks in minnesot I didn't

61
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.280
think this was possible. Happen in United States in America.

62
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.800
I'm being one hundred percent here to white people, no,

63
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.000
to anybody, but you've seen it happen to black people.

64
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.039
Yes, yes, to white people no, no, no, it is no.

65
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.000
I don't I mean, I didn't know that this was

66
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.080
possible to happen in the United States of America when

67
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.080
I'm specifically talking about with this situation here and like

68
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.800
not only this one, but also what we've seen ICE doing,

69
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.319
like entering homes without warrants, like arresting people. It is unconstitutional.

70
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.360
And they've done this weird thing where like they have

71
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.879
like a federally administrative warrant, which is some bullshit. It

72
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.360
doesn't even allow you to actually have access into a home. Yeah,

73
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.240
they're trying to find ways around the system. And what

74
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.919
that says to me, when you're willing to shred the

75
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.719
constitution to preserve your it's not only your power, but

76
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.639
your ideas of what should happen is incredibly Unamerican.

77
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.639
The Daily cos rights mega broadcaster Andrew Schultz seems to

78
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.280
have reached an epiphany. He's realized that Trump is a liar,

79
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.199
that ICE are a pack of unconstitutional goons who have

80
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.520
tried to break into people's homes and viciously shoot down

81
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.479
American citizens in the streets. Well, they execute their First

82
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.080
and Second Amendment rights. Shockingly, he doesn't like it. The

83
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.560
Daily Cos rights this conversion presents us with several questions.

84
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.159
How do weeds Democrats react to this? Option one? Do

85
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.159
we openly embrace it and welcome to the land of

86
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.520
the sane and rational? The coz gets into some previous

87
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.479
examples of things mister Trump has said, and they asked

88
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.000
the question why didn't Andrew and other magas realize that

89
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.120
he meant that stuff back then? Option number two? Do

90
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.879
we continue to flog Andrew Schultz for his previous Trump support?

91
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.800
Option three? Do we demand that Andrew Schultz grovel, genuflect

92
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.439
and apologize for his past transgressions? The Cos writes they

93
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.480
were willing to sell out their fellow Americans to gain

94
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.519
a larger piece of the pie for themselves. Do we

95
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.120
need them to explain that themselves and admit they were wrong?

96
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.519
Because if they don't, won't they likely to follow the

97
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.120
same circus trick again? Option four? Do we ignore Andrew Schultz?

98
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.480
The COZ writes, does it even matter what we think

99
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.360
of him? Does he really need a warm embrace and

100
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.079
a wet kiss from the already existing anti Trump crowd.

101
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.439
If he's insincere, he'll soon jump on the next bandwagon.

102
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.079
There's nothing we can do to stop him. If he

103
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.079
means what he's saying, he's going to still feel that

104
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.040
way whether we embrace him or not. He's a grown man.

105
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.480
He can make up his own mind. And it's nice

106
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.959
that he finally broke in our direction, But we weren't

107
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:04.879
the ones who finally convinced him to do that. And

108
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.399
option five is do we use Andrew Schultz writes the

109
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.279
codes their premise? On the other hand, could Schultz as

110
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.319
an influencer be a potential gateway to leading other magas

111
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.240
out of the wilderness, regardless of how we feel and

112
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.199
react to him. Could he be a pied piper directing

113
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.240
many others away from the evils of mega madness? Should

114
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.600
we encourage this because many more megas are more likely

115
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.959
listen to him questioning and leaving the cult rather than

116
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.680
listen to us. I know this is heavy. I'll remind

117
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.800
you I did ten minutes on Kermit the Frog yesterday.

118
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.519
Andrew Schultz, on his own podcast, was discussing the Epstein list.

119
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.240
Schultz said, if you bring up another fing pedophile about

120
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.639
deporting and you're not releasing the Epstein list, just shut

121
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.279
the f up, all of you. Yeah, I don't want

122
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:43.639
to hear anything else about Oh hey, we got to

123
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.160
deport the pedophiles. They're right here, there's a list of them,

124
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.279
and you're not exposing it. Corract writes we shouldn't punish

125
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.600
Andrew Schultz for turning on Trump, but that doesn't mean

126
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.759
he gets a pass for his part in Trump's resurgence.

127
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.879
Their premise, schultz way too recent epiphany naturally has the

128
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.360
Internet ragging on him and reminding him of his throated

129
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.519
an endorsement of Trump during the last general election. But

130
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.839
does the anti Trump fashion of the comedy community really

131
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.360
want one of the most successful and influential podcasters in

132
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.759
the country running back to the other side. Kathy Griffin

133
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.040
called out Joe Rogan for platforming right wing people and

134
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.600
pushing conspiracy theories. I'll remind you I did ten minutes

135
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.680
on Kermit the Frog yesterday. Okay, just go back here. Listen.

136
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.480
Kathy was in Your Dreams with Owen Feel Apparently that's

137
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.720
a podcast and Kathy Griffin recounted an interaction with a

138
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.560
critic on the street. The critic on the street tried

139
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.000
to convince me of all Joe's conspiracy theories and all

140
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.879
of his weird supplements and his popping veins. I knew

141
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.360
Joe back in the day when he had hair and

142
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.040
was a comic, and I liked him and he was nice,

143
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.319
and now he's turned into this really powerful very much,

144
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.639
but he doesn't say it right wing guy who platforms

145
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.319
right wing people, and bros really believe him. The straight bros.

146
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.079
They're not getting vaccinated because of doctor Joe Rogan. All right, John,

147
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.680
make this fun, okay, switching gears completely. Heidi Gardner explained

148
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.399
she was fired from Saturday Night Live. She was on

149
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.279
Mike Birbigley's podcast. Birbiggley was riffing with Heidi Gardner and

150
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:02.959
said the thing would crush me is if I worked

151
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:04.839
on something and then someone was like, you can't do it.

152
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.720
Gardner agreed that getting sketches cut was hard and said

153
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.319
I ended up getting cut. I feel like more than

154
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.360
anyone in the world when I was doing it. After

155
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:12.720
a while, you get to a point where you're like, well,

156
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.600
I'm comfortable here I'm good, I'm comfortable, like I get

157
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.720
just have fun. But no matter what, you're always stressed.

158
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.439
It's high stakes and you care so much. It was

159
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.040
always like the worst thing that could happen, or the

160
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.680
worst thing that could happen was not getting to do

161
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.199
your thing that week, And it was just there were

162
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.160
so many worst things that could happen. At least one

163
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.000
of the worst things would always happen. Now people are

164
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.279
looking at Heidi's quote where she said, quote, I mean comma,

165
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.120
I ended up getting cut. Now, as I read that,

166
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.480
I'm taking that to mean her sketches were cut. However,

167
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.399
The New York Post had reported that Gardner's contract was terminated.

168
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.959
Dana Carvey had previously said that he'd heard Gardner was

169
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.079
not asked to return for The New York Post had

170
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.240
quoted an anonymous insider who said Heidi's contract was not renewed. Quote,

171
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.079
it's time for a new cast, which reminds me the

172
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.600
internet has decided, and I agree. Ashley Padia is the

173
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.800
new star Saturday Night Live and she's not even main

174
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.360
cast yet, but she will be. She's the breakout star.

175
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.639
Snl UK has a premiere date this from Late Night

176
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.800
Er SNL UK will premiere Saturday, March twenty, first airing

177
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.920
on Sky streaming on Now you'll find me in international

178
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.360
waters if you know what I mean. I want to

179
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:22.079
check this out. Season one is just six episodes. The

180
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.319
cast has been revealed. I don't recognize any of these names,

181
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.040
but I'm sure they're wonderful. SNL UK lead producer James Longman,

182
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.800
who used to work for Cordon and said the UK

183
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.200
is absolutely packed with incredible comedy talent right now. In

184
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.200
this cast represents the freshest voices we have. They're bold,

185
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.879
exciting and of course incredibly funny. Same format as SNL

186
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.799
USA live study, audience opening monologue, sketches, live music, and

187
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:52.440
some version of weekend Update this weekend on this very program.

188
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.759
Tomorrow super Bowl preview a lot of comedians doing funny commercials.

189
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.480
At least I hope they're funny. We'll talk about the

190
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.639
tomorrow and then Sunday I have an interview with comedian Ismo.

191
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.960
He'll be at the Vancouver just for a Laughs Comedy festival.

192
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.120
He's really cool. Talk to him for about half an hour.

193
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:13.240
I SMO. If you've got a minute, google Ismo Conan.

194
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.159
He's got a bit about the word ass, which is brilliant.

195
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.519
And then he's got a full Netflix special up from

196
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.639
eight hundred Pound Gerilla that I watched that last Sunday,

197
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.399
very very funny. He's Ismo, and I think you'll come

198
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.320
out of Sunday show going Hey, I like that guy.

199
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.440
It is Friday. It is time to hit the comedy

200
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:42.120
stock market. Take it away, Burt Reynolds comedy stock market.

201
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.279
We will keep it simple this week. Two recommendations for you.

202
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.559
We're gonna buy some Dave Chappelle. I feel like Dave Chappelle.

203
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.159
He's back, not just from the Rion Comedy Festival, No,

204
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.360
he's totally back. He's going to do that show in Minnesota.

205
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.440
He's paling around with John Stewart. These are times when

206
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.240
we need someone who is good with the words. And

207
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.720
I think the time is right for Dave Chappelle to

208
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.440
come out of hiding. Let's buy some Dave Chappelle stock

209
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.480
before he hits Minnesota. And the other person we're gonna

210
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.000
buy stock in is Ismo. I just told you why.

211
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.840
He's great. So Dave Chappelle and Ismo are our comedy

212
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.559
stock market picks for this week. We're not gonna sell anybody,

213
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:23.759
will keep it positive from page six. Industry insiders say

214
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.879
they keep seeing Adam Sandler on the Fox Lot. That's

215
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.639
where they film the mask singer. Is Adam Sandler going

216
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.360
on the mask singer? They don't think so. It is

217
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.279
believed that Adam Sandler has moved his Happy Medison offices

218
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.919
from the Pacific Palisades to the Fox Lot. Sandlor's company

219
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.399
had been in Palisades Village, which is one of the

220
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:46.799
rare stretches of land that escaped last year's fires. Sources

221
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.279
say Adam Sandler did not want to subject his staff

222
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.559
to the toxic fumes in the area. Also, and this

223
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.480
is a real thing. There's nowhere to get lunch and

224
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.399
I'm not saying that Flippandtly, a source close to Adam

225
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.879
Sandler says, you live seven minutes from the Fox Lot,

226
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.320
and he asked his employees is this closer for you?

227
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.159
He would have gotten a free deal over at Netflix,

228
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:05.879
but he wanted to make sure his employees are closer

229
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.639
to home and having an easier ride. Adam Sailor is

230
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.200
a good guy, a family man. I love the way

231
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.639
he dresses. Right now, I'm wearing sweatpants, a yellow hoodie

232
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.000
and a Knick's hat. So I'm sure Adam Sandler and

233
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.159
I could be friends. We only disagree on one thing,

234
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.480
and that one thing is he is terrible at comedy,

235
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.720
but he's a great dramatic actor and a solid guy.

236
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.960
Ben Bankis, that's the guy that made the jokes about

237
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.600
the fatal shootings in Minnesota. He's joked about both of them.

238
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:33.600
Do you want to go see his comedy? He's up

239
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.799
in Rochester tonight. He'll be at the Carlson Right off

240
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.919
Blossom Road. Two shows tonight, seven and nine, two shows tomorrow,

241
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.200
seven and nine. Thirty bucks. I'll get you in. And

242
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.639
Bill Cosby in the news. This is the story is

243
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.679
about a week old, but I just saw it. Bill

244
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:53.120
Cosby's longtime representative, Andrew Wyatt, is speaking out after Bill

245
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:57.720
Cosby allegedly confessed to refilling his colude prescription in hopes

246
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.720
of using them on women. Wyatt told Us Magazine, I'm

247
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.720
hurt and disappointed. He was like a father to me.

248
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.240
Broke my heart when I saw this today. The saw

249
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.360
this as referring to a TMZ report on January twenty eighth.

250
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.919
That report from TMC says that Cosby admitted under oath

251
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.759
that he had a recreational prescription for queludes and refilled

252
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.399
it seven times with the intent of drugging women to

253
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.960
have intercourse with them. Andrew Wyatt said, I was the

254
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.720
only one who visited him in prison. I was the

255
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.600
one who walked him out of prison, not his attorney.

256
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.440
I truly believed in his innocence. I believed in what

257
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.879
he was telling me. Someday I will tell you some

258
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.200
Bill Cosby stories. You're gonna have to wait for mister

259
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.120
Cosby to pass away for me to tell them to you.

260
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.159
But I have Bill Cosby stories for you, and someday

261
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.279
I will share them. That is your comedy news for today.

262
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.279
All right, Tomorrow super Bowl preview, and Sunday Ismo drops by.

263
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.519
You have an awesome weekend.
