not sure? I told j Alright, So the writer strikes over late night

(07:28):
shows, we'll be back soon.What's the actors strike is over? We
should be back to normal and hollywoo. Man. I was listening to the
Strike Forced five podcast and it's StephenColbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel,
Seth Meyers, and John Oliver andthey were doing a podcast to support the
writers strike, okay, and therewere whatever sponsor reads they were having done

(07:50):
that money was going to go totheir staff. So it's kind of cool.
But man, there was so muchin episode one. It was just
like a lot of bad zoom connections. It was just a lot of it
wasn't structured really at all, andit was just kind of a free for
all and it was fine, butit wasn't very good. And my friend
Nina, she told me, hey, give another shot, and I did,

(08:11):
and she was right, it's verygood. Yeah. So I've got
a couple of things I would callthem highlights, and I'll start with this.
Here's Stephen Colbert talking about the timehe was asked if he wanted to
do a sponsor read and he's like, yes, I love doing voicehover stuff
because you don't have to be there. But he had to decline it.
And here's why I turned down aBudweiser campaign to be the voice which is

(08:33):
like the dream. I turned itdown because the product was Budweiser Energy.
It was a caffeinated beer that's illegalcalled b which and they wanted to call
it B to the E. Thead copy was things like, you know
your friends are heading home and you'rejust getting started B to the E.

(08:54):
You know, so alone's got toget up in the morning. Not you,
because you're not going to bed Bto the E. You're gonna chew
the inside of your mouth off Bto the eat. And then at the
at the bottom it said please drinkresponsibly, And I'm like, do I
read that line too? The onlyway to read that line would be of
this like, you know your friendsare all going home, but you're just

(09:15):
getting started. BE to the E. Please frank response away you're either really
please right? Okay? Oh yeah, sure enough. Looked it up.
Total fail. They actually did launchit and it did not go well.
Caffeine beers a legal speedball, dudebeer. Sometimes if i'd if I do

(09:41):
a couple of day beers, itseems like a good idea, and then
yeah, it puts me in thetank and I'm tired. B to the
E. You're gonna chew the insideof your mouth off. All right,
Well, thank you, Kevin.All right, Mike's a roight here for
b to the EU. It's anew Budweiser energy drink. We appreciate,
thank you. No, I don'tthink like that. It sounds like a

(10:03):
terrible idea, but apparently it was. Yeah, this is the time they're
talking about. Colbert did Second Cityin Chicago and Jim Belushi was one of
the guys at the time, andhe said, there's a time said Jim
Belushi always liked to like slap peopleand like dy like physical bits, but
it's really just kind of a jerk, and no one likes Jim Belushi.

(10:26):
And this is Kimbell sharing the storyof the time Jim Belushi and mister T
nearly gott in a fight once inthe early years of the show. Mister
T was my co host and JimBelushi was the guest, and they did
not hit it off, and misterT was doing his tough guy thing and
Belushi wasn't, you know, youjust go along with mister D's mister T,
you know, and Belushi was notgoing along with it. What resulted

(10:48):
was the two of them facing eachother and kind of grappling a little bit,
and they were about to fight,and it became apparent to me right
away that Jim was going to beable to overpower mister T and that that
would be the end of mister Tfor I mean really like because mister T
is not that tall, right,He's not that tall, and he's a

(11:09):
good deal older. I think that. But they almost fought on the show,
and I had to like calm themdown a little bit to get who
was it fault? Who would youif you were a cop who came on
the situation and had to arrest oneof them? I wasn't there, and
I already know. Is that yourbest day as a cop if you get

(11:30):
called the scene and it's Jim Belushiand mister T. Is that literally like
why you became a cop? Actuallydid call the cops? And you know
who showed up, Ericastrada on aMotorcuse. I didn't realize that. But
when we think about it, yes, Jim Belushi way younger than mister T.
Yeah, I didn't think about misterT being short. Though that twenty
seven seconds was funnier than anything thathappened on their first episode. There's no

(11:52):
doubt I'm just shocked at these handicapperssaying Belushi is a favorite over mister T.
They said he had huge hands.He said it was evident. And
mister T is seventy one now andhe's five ten. I'm taller than this
was in Second City days. Thisis twenty years No, he said,
this is at the He said,this is at the beginning of Kimmel's show.

(12:13):
So twenty years ago. Yeah,yeah, twenty years ago. Yeah,
Belushi's sixty nine, two years youngerthan mister T. Belushi's also,
do we have a height on him? Because if mister T's five ten and
Belus she's like six four, thenthis would make sense. He Belushi probably
had fifty pounds on him. JimBelushi five eleven, okay, just a

(12:33):
little bit taller. Maybe mister T. Show we're not a grower, five
ten. Maybe Jim Belushi just Chicagostrong, just a big old hunk of
meat. I don't care. I'mon team mister T. Right. Well,
yeah, I'm on team mister T. But like I mean, I'm
taking T side unseen in a matchupwith Jim belief should give me mister T

(12:54):
at a plus number. Well,I am empty in the account run under
the window. Sometimes it's who's moreangry. It feels like jim Blush might
have been the more angry guy.Now this is Jimmy. Kim also telling
a story about On they were kindof talking about the first weeks of their
shows, and they talked about howmuch of a disaster Sith Meyers had a

(13:16):
good note. He's like, Lauren, Michael was like, you're just going
to take your show about eighteen monthsuntil you know what your show is.
And he was talking about, nowto take me six months, and sure
enough he realized, yeah, Laurenwas right again, it does take about
eighteen months to even get in theflow of something here. That for sure,
right, And then we're on thenine week Player. I mean,

(13:37):
they're just talking about all their disasterfirst show stuff, and Kimmel said,
we had The Rock again twenty yearsago, but the Rock week one and
the Rocks fighting with his producers aboutsomething. The first week of the show.
We had The Rock on, whoat the time was mostly known as
a wrestler, but he's about tostart his movie career. And it was
blizzard night on ABC. They hadblizzards happening all through prime time so every

(13:58):
show featured a blizzard, and wedecided we're gonna have blizzards on a blizzard
on our show. We got thissnow machine. The show was live,
and then the Rock was The producerswanted him to come out on a sled
with a sled dog, you know, on like a sled, and he
didn't want to do it, andthey had a big fight that resulted in
the Rock not being on our showfor quite a lot. Sled dogs eight

(14:22):
hundred dollars. I guarantee you atleast you gotta reverse. I gotta reverse
to that. We had Mariah Carryon my show one time, right around
Christmas. Last minute. She decidesshe wants me to interview her in a
sligh. Now, I will justtell you, guys, this the hardest
time to rent a sleigh in NewYork City, right around Christmas last minute.
How stupid is that? Can Ihave a sligh? No, that

(14:45):
does sound like a Mariah Carry lastminute. I gotta be honest with you.
For the first two thirds of thataudio clip, I thought that they
were running some dairy queen promotion.That is the first Blizzard I thought of
it. Yeah, yeah, Blizzard. It's weird, right, yeah,
that sounds delicious. By the way, right now a blizzards cookie blizzard was

(15:07):
turn it over. Let's go showme that it's sticking in there. Oh
yeah, it's so turn it backover now, fightinglicious, Stop chewing the
inside of your mouth now. Theyalso something they used to do their show
live, which I felt like Iknew that, but maybe I didn't.
Kimmel like we did it live always. Colbert was not from the era of

(15:28):
doing it live. But Kimmel backthen, he goes, Yeah, we
did our shows live at night onthe West Coast because we would know what
this what happened, you know inthe world before you know that. Actually
it's three hours different than when everyoneelse is on and recorded. We'll go
live because it's seven o'clock for us. It's not ten thirty at night,
you know on the East Coast oreleven thirty a lot of times on these

(15:50):
coasts. You did not decide tostop doing it live. No, the
network decided that we needed to stopdoing it live because an actor named Thomas
Jane said the word like nineteen timesin a row and the sensors couldn't keep
up with it. Delay wise,and a bunch of the affiliates were upset,
even though after ten pm technically youcan say or do anything you want.

(16:11):
That's what that's what did it.That was the end of being licked.
Yeah, I was bombed. Iwas very mum. We fought it,
okay, okay. So Thomas Jane, who played Mickey Mantle in HBO
sixty one, said the F wordnineteen times. Oh my god. The
sensors couldn't keep up. And thattakes me something that happened Monday on this
show. There was a little Itwas a couple of good old days nineties

(16:33):
cowboys references. When what's the numberforty? The Cowboys fullback? When he
got in there, you remember thosedays when you were a fullback moves?
I remember that, like thirty yearsago. Whoa dump? Jeez, How
does one get so comfortable that theyjust drop an F bomb. You're a

(16:59):
home It's like, it's not likeit's a guest, it's you. I'm
embarrassed. I'm meant to say creaking. He got embarrassed. It was amazing.
We'll turn it to a dog inthe corner over there. I couldn't
believe I said the he was lookingat me too, and he's just kind
of side the head tilted. Justtry just get making me laugh. We

(17:23):
were at a bar, We're atthe landing just like man, you know
the moves. They always got tobring Moose into it about the fullback position
in the nineties. No, you'rejust so good at full back and yeah,
it's just so comfy. There's twoguys at a bar. Yes,
Jeff, we heard it on thestreet. Everybody so good. Well,

(17:48):
we shouldn't do it nineteen times likeThomas Jane did. To make sure that
Kima has to pre recorded show now, Thomas Jane, the rest of development,
Yes, cameo in there. Thisis from episode two of this podcast
Strike Fource five and it came outabout two days before the Jimmy Fallon article
from the Rolling Stone hit where therewere multiple like double digit workplace compliance about

(18:14):
him being drunk a little bit andmaybe yelling at the staff a little bit,
kind of being a douche. Andsee if you can tell by their
subtle jabs that Jimmy Fallon might getcanceled even though I think they're just having
fun with it, but they knowthis article is coming. It's very clear
to be in a good way it'snot about wild swings, slowly raising what
your average show is. So thatI just got I just got a text

(18:37):
from a member of Strike Fource five. Is that the best way to do
it? I just I just gota text from a member of Strike Fource
five and it's it's from Jimmy Fallonunder the code named Steve Allen. It
says, I have to go.And I assume everyone got this at the
same five real one who wants tobe honest with our audience. But I

(19:02):
didn't know this. We're talking aboutshow business and all. But it was
going a little long. So there'sa limit. There's a limit to how
much you want to help the staff. I don't I don't know the protocol
is trying to say anything on sayit for the podcast. Where are you
going, jim You just tell uswhere I think that we might want to
consider renaming this Asfixiating Jimmy Fallon.That is what's happening right in front of

(19:26):
hold of our hope we don't getdown to Strike Force four. That's how
the episode ended, right when allof this. Two days later that article
hits Yeah, so they knew,Yeah, I mean, because I mean,
I mean, I listening to that, I guess I knew the article
it already happened, so when Ilistened to it, But it sure felt
like they knew because there's some comedypressure on that text thread YEA for the

(19:49):
strike Force fause self affixiated Jimmy Fallon, he's trying to get off. Here's
the last one here. This isa great story about just Jimmy Kilmel.
They he's almost killed. And italso leads into the plot of the movie
The Joker, whichy'all saw right,Okay for the almost supo they probably know.
You can read into it if youhave seen it. Kimball, When

(20:11):
and why did Batman Troy to killyou? We had an ice hockey game,
I think it was during the WinterOlympics, and Cuba Gooding Junior was
on a team of celebrities playing againstteam of superheroes from Hollywood Boulevard. These
are people, they're not actual superheroes. They dress as superheroes and they take
photographs with tourists. One of themwas Batman, and we used Batman on

(20:33):
the show a lot. Batman usedthe N word on our show because he
was angry at Cuba Gooding Junior andafter the show. I said he's never
on the show again, and wordgot back to Batman that I had personally
banned him from the show. Andthen the Incredible Hulk came to our building
very concerned and said, Batman justbought a gun for eighty dollars and he's

(20:57):
going to shoot Jimmy with it.That's a good deal. The security team
went into action and they put mugshots. They put photos up of the
guy who wanted to kill me,but the guy was wearing the Batman mask
in the photos. Okay, that'spretty awesome. Same, thanks dude,

(21:21):
So good. Look that all thatSeth gleaned from that. It was it
was a good not bad. That'sSeth. That was a Colbert, a
couple of the better one liners,and all that audio. One more.
I'm sorry, guys, he's gonnabe done. This is about the Joker
and how it played out where thetalk show host has the Joker on his
show and it doesn't end well forthe talk show host. There is no

(21:42):
perfect way for a talk show toend, but I think being murdered by
Batman would put you there in somekind of television history. O. Yeah,
you guys have seen the joker.So de Niro, what do you
what do you think of our jobs? And he goes, I'm modeling them
on you. I'm modeling them onyou. That's not so great. I
know how it ends for your character. And like a matter of fact,

(22:04):
people called me up and said,hey, maybe don't go watch that movie
because of how it ends for GenaroGenaro's character, and so I've now,
of course I only wouldn't watched thatscene. I've never seen anything else in
the movie. I've only seen genuinelydisturbed by that, I have to say.
Afterwards, I was like, oh, no, is this gonna be
in somebody's head now? And absolutelyis in someone's head now, your head,

(22:26):
I mean breaking bad. People weren'tthinking about Maybe they were, and
it's just happening sopranos too, butpeople weren't thinking about, oh acid,
you know, to get rid ofbodies. People weren't thinking about that too
much. And then sure enough,fears off the show and you see a
few of these pop up, youknow, people putting bodies in there in

(22:48):
those little containers, those blue containers, and acid washing them out. I
will do the trick as well.Things like that. How do you know
I know things. I grew upin the country. He watches British crime
all day, every day, NonStopstop. Boy, that is audio bubble.

(23:10):
That's about Thank you, Kevin.I think you did really good today.
I don't know, man, you'vegot a I think it's been a
stellar day of broadcasting for U kvohoh. I'm taking the next two days
