00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.600
The Wwees roast of WrestleMania has leaked online. The Sportster

3
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.679
reports that various footage from the show has been leaked

4
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.760
by those in attendance. I went looking for the clips.

5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.280
They were pulled down by the time I got to them,

6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.519
But if you circulate the internet long enough, you'll find

7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.760
a ten minute compilation of clips from the roost. It

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.520
begins with Paul Hayman, who reportedly was the star of

9
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.920
the show, laying into Tony Hinchcliff and then going after

10
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.920
Gabe A Glacias. After Hayman gets done with a Glacias,

11
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.880
Triple H shows up. It seems that Triple H cut

12
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.079
off Tony Hinchcliff just as he made a joke about

13
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.320
while logan Paul is allegedly banned from Japan. I don't

14
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.000
know what that reference means as someone else. The first

15
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.840
thing Triple H says once he's on stage suggests that

16
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.039
he came out to stop Tony from saying anything else.

17
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.079
Now you never know, and I haven't seen the clip.

18
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.119
Is this a work? Is it a bit? Is that

19
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.239
what really happened? Who knows Triple H then makes some

20
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.480
jokes about Nia Jackson Pat McAfee, claiming that he came

21
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.319
out to rescue McAfee so he can sober up, before

22
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.359
appearing on ESPN the next day. Some criticism of the

23
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:14.959
Rose set. The whole point of a roast is to

24
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.959
pick on people who were there so that they can

25
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.040
fight back. Jacks did the opposite, going after Rick Flair,

26
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.040
Cody Rhodes, and Michael Cole. None of them were in attendance.

27
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.200
Who knows. We'll keep an eye on that. Hey, did

28
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.799
John mulaney take my notes? At the beginning of Wednesday's show,

29
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.920
there was a cairon that alluded to celebrities not knowing

30
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.359
what to do when they're on the show and not

31
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.760
knowing what to talk. I thought mulanie's episode Wednesday was

32
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.519
far and away the best that he's done because he

33
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.959
went single guest with Conan and they were able to

34
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.519
get into a rhythm. I mean, that's the way to

35
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.200
do it, and that's what I've been preaching about. Conan

36
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.319
comes out, it's just Conan and m'laney. They have some chemistry.

37
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.640
They're doing it. Then Io came out as the second guest,

38
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.760
typical late night talk show dynamics. There, everybody slides down

39
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.200
the couch. We all know what to do, we know

40
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.000
how to do this. The show worked much better for

41
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.719
the callers, and I'll talk about that in a second.

42
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.599
I was wondering if the caller about dinosaurs was staged.

43
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.639
If not, it was Comedy Gold. Regardless, it was Comedy Gold.

44
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.240
Consequence of Sound had somebody in the audience. They thought

45
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.479
it was interesting that Malania went with Q cards rather

46
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.919
than a teleprompter. Consequence ads it's pretty staggering to see

47
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.120
an hour's worth of handwritten card stacked together. It's much

48
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.080
bulkier than you'd expect. The Q Card team filed into

49
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.800
the studio at around six fifty five pm Pacific time.

50
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.479
As we know, the show starts at seven o'clock. Richard

51
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.000
Kine took his position with forty five seconds to go.

52
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.000
Consequence of Sound writes, the applause sign works hard all night,

53
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.039
they write, sometimes, of course, in audience applause because they

54
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.159
want to. But when filming live TV, you might need

55
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.840
to nudge them a bit, say with a light up

56
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.919
sign that flashes when the production team wants collapse. What

57
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.360
struck me most was that the applause sign flashed on

58
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.240
what they felt like was a very planned way, and

59
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.400
other times was operating what it seemed like it wanted to.

60
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.319
That is not uncommon for an applause sign. I remember

61
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.599
seeing Letterman who was forty years ago. Yeah, it's forty

62
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.520
years ago. Oh wow, I remember seeing Letterman that they

63
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.280
had an applause signed back then. The caller I alluded

64
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.439
to before, doctor Jack Horner, who called in about the dinosaurs,

65
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.400
was actually the technical adviser in the first five Jurassic

66
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.759
Park movies. Consequence of Sound tells us the band Mets

67
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.000
were so loud that they gave everyone ear plugs. Consequence

68
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.400
Rights have been too many studio tapings before, but being

69
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.680
handed earplugs before the show was a new one for me,

70
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.560
and even sitting in the back row was grateful for them.

71
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.840
We found out why Rita Moreno didn't make her appearance.

72
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.439
She has vertigo, a spokesperson told Entry to me Weekly.

73
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.639
Happy to report nothing serious, she's bummed. Variety caught up

74
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.560
with Pete Davidson the topic tattoos. What made you decide

75
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.080
to remove those tattoos, Pete. Pete said, I started during

76
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.719
COVID in twenty twenty, and it's going to take me

77
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.120
another ten years. My arms are pretty much gone. On

78
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.759
my hands meca gone, but instill my torso and back

79
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.159
was really because I wasn't taking care of myself. I

80
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.479
used to be a drug addict and I was a

81
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.439
sad person. I felt ugly and that I needed to

82
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.520
be covered up. And I don't think there's anything wrong

83
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.159
with tattoos, but mine. When I look at them, I

84
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.120
remember a sad person that was very unsure. So I'm

85
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.439
just removing them and starting fresh because I think that's

86
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.120
what works best for me in my brain. When I

87
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.080
look in the mirror, I don't want the reminder of, oh, yeah,

88
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.599
you were a drug addict, like that's why I have

89
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.319
SpongeBob smoking a joint on your back. They should have meaning,

90
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.639
not that it was just high watch a Game of Thrones.

91
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.120
Pete explains it's a six week healing process each time

92
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.680
you get a tattoo removed. Each tattoo is ten to

93
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.759
twelve sessions. That's sixty weeks of your life right there

94
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.319
on just one tattoo to remove, So it's pretty horrible.

95
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.279
It's like putting your arm on a grill and burning

96
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:31.879
off the layer and then you got to do maintenance

97
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.439
and let it heal properly, and it's pretty tough. It sucks.

98
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.040
I'm not gonna lie. They were curious how much money

99
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.240
this is costing Pete Davidson. He says, it's a pretty

100
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.399
uncomfortable amount of money to disclose. But I think one

101
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.399
of the tabloids leaked it. I've already spent like two

102
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.000
hundred grand that I'm like thirty percent done, So it's

103
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.160
gonna suck. Friday asked about the ferry that Pete ball

104
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.959
with Colin Jost. What's going on with that. Pete says,

105
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.680
we have one floor done out of the four and

106
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.759
we're holding events on the first floor and we're partnering

107
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.079
with a bunch of people to get a plan going,

108
00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.439
which is kind of a secret. But we're gonna have

109
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:00.920
a couple of restaurant. It's a nice bar. I'm going

110
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:02.680
to maintain the integrity of the ferry and have the

111
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.439
old ferry stuff still be there, just be a little refurbished.

112
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.560
People don't understand this is like a five to ten

113
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:09.879
year project. People are like, I guess nothing's happening with it.

114
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.240
We don't know anything about boats so we're figuring it

115
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.879
all out. It's been really fun. We're having a good

116
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.199
time and it's at a good place, and we have

117
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.480
a couple of fun events planned for the summer. Brett

118
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.319
Goldstein special came out on HBO last night. He spoke

119
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.160
to the La Times. He explained he's been doing a

120
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.600
version of this show, building off bits from the twenty

121
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.839
eighteen Fringe show. He toured it for fourteen months around

122
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.759
the States that at some point someone said you have

123
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.800
to film this and stop doing it, and I said, okay.

124
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:34.920
I think stand up keeps your brain sharp in a

125
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.480
way that nothing else does, because you have so much

126
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.199
pressure when you're standing under the lights in front of

127
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.839
a crowd. You have to come up with something in

128
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.639
a way that you don't when you're in a writer's room.

129
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.040
What I really love is that there's no committee. I

130
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.240
don't have to discuss it with anyone. It's amazing making

131
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.199
TV and film, but it's a huge thing that involves

132
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.120
tunre people and you have to communicate everything to everyone.

133
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.199
You have to compromise and deal with execs. And we

134
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.240
do stand up. It's like, hey, here's this idea. I

135
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.240
thought of this afternoon and I'm saying it. Tonight, wcm

136
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.240
out Bell visited Castle mind On High School in Oakland.

137
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.160
Fresh off his win on Celebrity Jeopardy, Bell announced that

138
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.480
the recipient of the one million dollar charity prize goes

139
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.759
to donor's choice. They are a fundraising platform similar to GoFundMe.

140
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.920
The teachers used to purchase stuff for their classrooms. Bell said,

141
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.040
I feel like I was raised here in Oakland, California,

142
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.800
so I hope it helps you. Brad Williams was at

143
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.680
the NFL Draft. He pitched the commissioner on an idea

144
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.600
to stop the tush push. You know, the tush push.

145
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.800
We all go up to the line and we meeting

146
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.160
the Philadelphy Eagles and they all run forward and they

147
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.680
get the first down like every time. Brad Williams, who

148
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.240
if you don't know, is a little person, told Roger Goodell,

149
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.279
the NFL commissioner. Obviously, one of the big hot topics

150
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.360
over the season is the tush push. The brotherly chef

151
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.439
Williams ask Goodell, my question is the late football coach

152
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.360
Mike Leach. It was recently discovered that he had suggested

153
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.040
putting a little person in the backfield and actually tossing

154
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.079
him over the line for short yardage situations. Everybody laughed.

155
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.920
Goodell stood up and shook Brad's hand and said, you're

156
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.839
in Brad's I have a job. But you know what,

157
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.639
that's not a crazy idea. I mean it's a crazy idea,

158
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.160
but it would work. First down, Joe Rogan was happy

159
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.240
with his meal. It was fresh elk, he had fried it.

160
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.279
He topped the elk with some fresh cheddar and some jalapennios.

161
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.920
He went on Instagram to show it off. Joe said,

162
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:20.680

would probably take it to the next level. And that
