1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.640
Caalaroga Shark Media are there. I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.359
daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy,

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.960
comedians and the comedy industry. Frank Calando, there's a name

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.000
you don't hear as much as you did, say twenty

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.199
years ago. He was red hot for a while there

6
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.800
when I was back at Sirious. He's in Naples, Florida's

7
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.359
to Night doing a couple shows if you want to

8
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.719
go see him. Kalando said he heard that John Madden

9
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.479
never liked Frank Callando's John Madden impression. John Madden might

10
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.640
be the only person who didn't like it. Calando said,

11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:37.520
I finally met him at a Super Bowl in Dallas.

12
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.759
They were at a four Seasons hotel, and Kalando said

13
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:45.280
it made Madden's grandchildren laugh, but Madden got it somewhat.

14
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:47.840
Kaliando says it helps to have a deep voice to

15
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.159
do impressions, adding that some voices take years to perfect.

16
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.079
Some voices are similar, like Leonardo DiCaprio and John Malkovich,

17
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.799
or Kermit the Frog and Fozzy Bear. Calando explains, it's

18
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:00.880
just kind of manipulation of those muscles or whatever it is.

19
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.399
In your throat and having the muscle memory to go

20
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.719
back to it. He also studies the eyes of celebrities

21
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:07.799
because the eyes tell you the way the person thinks.

22
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.680
For example, Jeff Goldbloom has eyes to dart back and

23
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.200
forth like a painting in a haunted house. Callando promises

24
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.719
clean comedy and impressions of famous people from Madden to

25
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.480
al Pacino to Morgan Freeman. Says, I'm PG at the

26
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.840
dirt Calliando says, I'm PG at dirtiest. There's no f words.

27
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.079
I'm real team. If you're in Naples, Florides at the

28
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:32.599
Off the Hook Comedy Club tonight and tomorrow speaking with impressionists,

29
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.400
I just moved the story up. I originally didn't have

30
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.280
these two period, and I'm like, oh, these go together.

31
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.760
Hanka'saria says he is contracted to voice characters on the

32
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:44.000
Simpsons for three more years. He told USA Today about

33
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.760
the Simpsons, I'm not announcing the end of it. We

34
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.840
might go beyond that. That'll make season forty. Every year,

35
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.760
I think a new crop of tweens discover the show,

36
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.000
and that keeps us relevant. Back in February of twenty five,

37
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.640
Frank Azaria till the New York Times. I imagine that

38
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.159
soon enough artificial intelligence will be able to recreate the

39
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.120
sounds of the more than one hundred voices I created

40
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.400
for the characters on The Simpsons over almost four decades.

41
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.079
It makes me sad to think about it. Oh hey,

42
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.840
I no doubt could do that. The conversation turned to

43
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.000
impressionist Matt Friend, who does Howard Stern, Stanley Tucci, and

44
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.840
Michael Boublay. Matt Friend first did an impression for Hank

45
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.680
Azaria when Matt was fifteen. Turns out Hank Azaria was

46
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.919
college roommates with Matt Friend's father, Bill. That's wild. As

47
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.599
for that first meeting, Azaria said, I had never heard

48
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.360
anyone at any age be more brilliant vocally than this kid.

49
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.719
And he asked me for advice, and I give him

50
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.599
a lot of advice. He really did take it. And

51
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.439
I think Matthew's so talented he would have made it

52
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.039
no matter what. But I think I probably said to

53
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.360
him a lot of time in telling him what to

54
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.360
do and what not to do. You need to have

55
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.039
plastic vocal cords, you know how some people like cilantro

56
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.759
and for some people taste like soap It's kind of

57
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.120
like that, you can either do it or you can.

58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.560
With Matthew, some he got right away and some he's

59
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.680
developed over the years. Same for me. The Simpsons is

60
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.000
coming up on its eight hundredth episode next weekend. They've

61
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.400
announced the guest stars for that episode. They include Quinta Brunson,

62
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.800
Kevin Bacon, and Questla, also stars of The pitt Noah Wiley,

63
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.240
Catherine Lanassa, and Taylor Dearden will play medical personnel in

64
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.759
the episode music by Boys Two Men, Sure Why Not?

65
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.240
In Irrational Treasure, the Simpsons travel to Pennsylvania, hence all

66
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.840
the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh icons lending their voices to the episode.

67
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.240
Boys to Men will sing a new version of the

68
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.719
Simpsons opening theme. They'll also provide a new version of

69
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.240
the end to title music. Here's the plot. Marge's crusade

70
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.360
to get the family dog in better shape leads to

71
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.240
her entering Santa's Little Helper in canine agility competitions and

72
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.240
a trip to the National Dog Show in Philadelphia. There,

73
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.360
Homer suddenly find themselves and the dog mixed up in

74
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.479
a historical conspiracy adventure worthy of a National Treasure movie.

75
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.360
Episode eight hundred Sunday, February fifteenth. Now that's also the

76
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.039
day of the Daytona five hundred, which is also on Fox,

77
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.560
and the daytone of five hundred has a tendency to

78
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.520
get it either rain delayed or otherwise delayed. So set

79
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.360
your DVRs carefully. I gotta scroll back up here. I

80
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.039
did the stories out of order that I originally planned. Hey,

81
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.000
you know that guy, Jay Leno, Yeah, he's the worst.

82
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.000
I know, dostn't know what he's doing. Now he's taking

83
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.319
part in an all star comedy lineup for the In

84
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.280
the Spirit of the Game charity Awards dinner and auction

85
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.639
that takes place tomorrow at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.

86
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.639
It will benefit youth baseball players. The event is co

87
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.600
hosted by Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis and MLB Hall of

88
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.920
Famer Trevor Hoffman. Now you're like, Jay Leno, that guy's

89
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.759
the worst. Well, you know who else is doing this event?

90
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.920
Quote unquote breakout superstar Nicki Glazer. Oh yeah, now it's

91
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.600
cool right now Nicki Glazer is doing it. Now you're like, oh,

92
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.519
that sounds like a really important thing. It was dumb

93
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.519
five minutes ago. In the Spirit of the Game, Awards, dinner,

94
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.480
and auction benefits the Perfect Game Believe In Baseball Foundation,

95
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.319
which provides financial assistance to deserving young players, helping them

96
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.240
with costs associated with travel baseball, which could include coaching, training,

97
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.759
or educational opportunities. There's cocktails on a silent auction at

98
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.120
five thirty, dinner awards, and comedy performances at seven. It's

99
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.240
at the Laugh Factory tomorrow. So just another example of

100
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.720
Jay Leno being the worst person who ever lived. Hey,

101
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.600
Ted Lasso coming back for season four. The Gang's all back.

102
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.399
They convinced Jason Sadagas to do it. Hannah Waddingham is back,

103
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.920
Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift. They're all back.

104
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.879
In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his

105
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.360
biggest challenge yet, coaching a second division women's football team.

106
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.839
The log line is throughout the course of the season,

107
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.120
Ted and the team learned to leap before they look,

108
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.000
taking chances they never thought they would. Roywood Junior will

109
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.920
host these seventy eighth Annual Writers Guild Awards at Manhattan's

110
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.360
Edison Ballroom on March eighth. Royce Done all right, for himself,

111
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.480
betting on himself leaving the Daily Show, Royce said, it's

112
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.439
an honor to again be trusted with leading a night

113
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.439
of celebration, as we honor one of the most important

114
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.439
components in creating the content that gives us either an

115
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.000
opportunity to escape or to learn more about the world

116
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.279
we all share. Seth Meyers asked Stephen Colbert about running

117
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.199
for public office. In the past, I would have supported

118
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.600
a Stephen Colbert candidacy, but now that he's gone out

119
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.560
of his way to ruin Star Trek as the voice

120
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.519
of the announcements at Starfleet Academy, I do not support

121
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.319
anyone who destroys Star Trek, Colbert said. I mean, that's

122
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.879
something I have discussed with my faith leader and my family.

123
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.920
Colbert is Catholic, right, I find it atypical I'm Catholic

124
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.040
that he keeps saying faith leader. I went to Catholic

125
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.639
grammar school. I went to a Jesuit high school. I

126
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.759
never really heard the term faith leader. I just find

127
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.920
that interesting either here nor there. I'll ask Deacon Mike

128
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.600
about it. Let me text him. Hold on, all right,

129
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.519
I have texted Deacon Mike. We'll see if he gets

130
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.079
back to me before we're done recording. Today, Catherine Ryan

131
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.240
did a one off show in Los Angeles. While she

132
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.399
was out there, I hooked up with the La Times.

133
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.199
They asked her about this whole Beckham thing. You saw

134
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.240
this The Beckham family is all fighting. We talked about

135
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.600
this the other day. Catherine Ryan said, it's a wonderful

136
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.879
reprieve from fascism. Ice in Greenland. Finally just some light

137
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.839
family draw that everyone can kick back and enjoy. I

138
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.240
feel like Victoria Beckham is such a treasure in the UK,

139
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.560
and I'm quite good friends with several Spice girls. I

140
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.040
went to Mailb's wedding earlier last year. I'm not close

141
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.319
with Victoria Spice, but obviously I'm a woman of that

142
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.800
generation where I learned to shake my booty to the

143
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.399
Spice Girls in nineteen ninety six, so I have undying

144
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.920
loyalties to her. There's this very interesting NEPO conversation to

145
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.519
be had, and her son, Brooklyn, was one of the

146
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.319
original ones. He was born at a time when in

147
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.360
the UK we were obsessed with celebrity. I was a

148
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.720
posed to now when we really hadn't figured out yet

149
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.360
how damaging it might be. To take an infant and

150
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.600
follow his entire life and commodify it as though he

151
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.519
was our own. But I'm definitely enjoying all the memes

152
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.680
and jokes. A lot of fans, myself included, have been

153
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.879
downloading Victoria's single on iTunes. We decided it was a

154
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.040
national travesty that she never had a number one hit

155
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.199
because all the other Spice girls have independently had number

156
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.720
one singles, and just yesterday victoria single Innocent Girl got

157
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.160
to number one on iTunes. The Eliot Simes said. So

158
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.079
as the controversy made Posh Spice feel more relatable, Catherine

159
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.199
Ryan said, I think it actually has been an incredible

160
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.759
vehicle for her. This is the most relatable she's ever been.

161
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.879
Vicky b drunk on the veno, being inappropriate at the wedding.

162
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.920
We love it. I think that the Beckhams have been

163
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.600
almost like royalty and quite untouchable. This has made her

164
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.879
really relatable. Having her son lash out at her like

165
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.600
this so publicly. I know in LA you really validate

166
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.519
everyone's mental health. I hope this is the end of

167
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.439
mental health. I don't want to talk about it anymore.

168
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.839
And this very privileged little boy claims to have mental

169
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.079
health problems and anxiety over his mom dancing with him

170
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:27.199
at a wedding. Comedy stock Markets, thank you, Bert Reynolds.

171
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.600
Every Friday we take a look at the comedy stock

172
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.320
market where I make some recommendations about which comedian stock

173
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.799
we should buy, which comedian stock we should sell. No

174
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.120
sells this week, but I've got to buy recommendations for you.

175
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.000
The first one, Buy some Ron Funches. I think that

176
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.720
Trader's appearance did really well for him, and he picked

177
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.919
up a lot of new fans. He's fantastic and I

178
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.559
see nothing but praise for him on social media. So

179
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.519
buy some Ron Funches stock. And let's buy some Trevor

180
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.919
Noah stock. Ahead of the Grammys. You know, there's been

181
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.120
some things in the news this week, and Trevor, I

182
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.799
think is the right guy to say it. He commented

183
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.799
last year about deportations, and I don't think Trevor will

184
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.679
pull his punch now. It's a tough spot because it's

185
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.720
the Grammys and it's not why anyone's there. But I

186
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.600
think Trevor is savvy enough to nail the middle there.

187
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.039
So let's buy some Trevor Noah and let's buy some

188
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.559
Ron funches and we might have to sell stock in

189
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.799
Deacon Mike, who has yet to text me back yet.

190
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.279
I mean, if we were watching football, he would have

191
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.240
gotten back to me seven times already. TV Insider asked

192
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.919
Bert Kraser, what does the Kraser family think of how

193
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.960
their characters are portrayed on Free Bert where it said, listen,

194
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.080
it's weird when someone uses your name and uses your

195
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.080
likeness and misrepresents you to the point where it never

196
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.039
really happened. Then you're like, wait, I'm sure that has

197
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:39.960
to be a sensitive area. At the same time, these

198
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.440
are fictitious takes on nonfiction parts of my life. I'm

199
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.000
hoping everyone's going to be on the same page and

200
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.279
see the art for what it is. At the same time,

201
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.600
it's their names, likeness. If they're not happy, I'll deal

202
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.879
with it. Then he discussed the opening scene minor spoiler

203
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.039
where Rob Low appears. It's a little set up for

204
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.720
the show. Rob Low asks him to just take a

205
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.639
shirt off again. Bert addressed it's saying, I think we

206
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.399
wanted to show that some people only see me as

207
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.440
the guy who takes off his shirt. We tried desperately

208
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.240
to make sure there was a fair representation of how

209
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.240
people see me outside looking in, and that's why I

210
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:09.720
feel the way I do on the series. That was

211
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.840
drawn specifically from a period in time in my life

212
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.840
where I did a corporate gig for Hedge Fund. They said, yo,

213
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.639
put the shirt back on, take it off, and tell

214
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.039
the machine, and I was like, Wow, this is what

215
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.440
I am to people. Then I think the question Rob

216
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.960
posts is the internal question for me, which is would

217
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.639
they show up if you didn't take your shirt off.

218
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.480
Once you get to that question, then what's my worth?

219
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:29.919
Was it easy to get Rob Low to do it? Oh?

220
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.720
It was awesome. Rob is so easy. I sent him

221
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.960
a text and he asked if we could shoot in

222
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.000
Santa Barbara and I was like, yep, he was in

223
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:36.919
and he gave us so much extra time. He didn't

224
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.000
need to give us. He was just the man. TV

225
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.720
Insider asked Bird Krascher, how was it doing scripted as

226
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.679
opposed to what you do on stage? But it said

227
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:45.159
it'd helped that I kind of wrote the script, so

228
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.600
I'd put it the way I'd say it anyway. There

229
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.200
were certain scenes where it was hard. I'm obviously not

230
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.759
an actor, but at one of the podcast companies, I work.

231
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.720
Sometimes they would ask me to do some lights voice

232
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.320
acting would be very generous, but they had some script

233
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.399
and he needed somebody to voice a cop and I

234
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:04.120
like struggled trying to stick to the actual printed words

235
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.120
because I was like, I don't speak this way, and

236
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.120
I would always ask if I could do an alter

237
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.679
to take and phrase things the way I phrase them.

238
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.840
I don't know what they actually wound up using, so

239
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.000
respect for Bert here who said there were certain scenes

240
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.240
where it was hard. There was a scene where I

241
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.720
was apologizing to the Vanderthal family. I'd just say the

242
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.679
same sentence four different ways. That was a tough one

243
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.600
because you can't repeat an improv because you're saying the

244
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.200
same thing but differently. That was a tough one. Then

245
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.039
some of the more emotional scenes were tough for me.

246
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:29.960
I think it was good as long as we're moving fast.

247
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.559
The listening was tough. And that is your comedy news

248
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.519
for today. All right, Deacon Mike did not get back

249
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.200
to me, So maybe sometime next week I'll backsell this story.

250
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.399
He'll eventually text, come on, Deacon Mike, what are you

251
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.679
doing all right tomorrow? On this program? I had recorded

252
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.080
some January weekend fillers, So if you're a new listener,

253
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.879
especially this time of year, the news is little lights,

254
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.840
so sometimes I do weekend filler that is tomorrow. What

255
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.600
I did was there's a website where you can take

256
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.000
a look at a particular podcast and see the audience

257
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.000
share between that podcast and other podcasts. I ran Daily

258
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.120
Comedy News through it, and it shows what you guys

259
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.200
are also listening to, and I just thought it was interesting.

260
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.679
So that's tomorrow's episode. Tomorrow's a little light. And then

261
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.639
on Sunday, Trevor Noah hosts a Grammys, so I'll do

262
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.600
a Grammys episode, and that means Johnny Mack can't pretape

263
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.440
Monday because I got to stay up for the Grammys.

264
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.039
But Monday will be a normal episode with Grammy stuff

265
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.519
up top. And then Monday at noon, Easter and the

266
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:25.000
results of Comedy Survivor Week four. Hopefully the sun will

267
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.960
come out at some point it'll be warm again. But

268
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.720
then eat the forecast right now. Stay warm, folks, See

269
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.240
you tomorrow.
