00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.519
Callaroga Shark media from Washington, DC, where cracker barrel madness

2
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.519
is over. This is ballid. Sure, it cost us eleven

3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.480
dollars at Taco Bell to get three soft tacos, but

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.760
the economy is fine and cracker barrel changed their mind.

5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:25.719
America is great again. Let's hit this. Donald Trump posted

6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.039
on truth Social at two in the morning about Seth

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.559
Myers getting his contract extended at NBC. You know what

8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.479
normal people are doing at two am, sleeping, but Trump

9
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.880
is uprage posting about late night TV hosts. He called

10
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.679
Meyers one of the least talented late night television hosts

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.920
out there, with no ratings, talent or intelligence, and the

12
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:49.079
personality of an insecure child. Trump also said NBC is

13
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.560
fake news NBC, which by the way, would be a

14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.240
better name than MS now. Also, NBC is the network

15
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.079
that made him famous with The Apprentice. That's like me

16
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.679
calling this show stupid comedy show, which also isn't the

17
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.680
worst idea. Maybe Trump is on to something, But here's

18
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.400
my favorite part. Trump ends the post by saying, I

19
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.640
don't know, but I'll definitely be finding out. What is

20
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.799
he Nancy drew the case of the mysteriously extended late

21
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.480
night contract. Former Saturday Night Live cast member Beck Bennett

22
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.359
just revealed who the most difficult celebrity host was in

23
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.599
his eight years on the show, and spoiler alert, it

24
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.400
wasn't Donald Trump. Bennett says that out of more than

25
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.120
one hundred and fifty celebrity hosts, Elon Musk was the

26
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:39.400
absolute worst to work with, worse than Trump, and that's

27
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.959
saying something considering Trump spent the week having trouble reading

28
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.400
at table reads and taking mysterious phone calls that definitely

29
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.760
weren't about his book Hitting Number One. Bennett said Trump

30
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.280
was actually easier to deal with because he was more like,

31
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.879
you tell me where to go and what to say,

32
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.200
and I'll tell you if I'm okay with that. Meanwhile,

33
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.640
Musk showed up thinking he was going to revolutionize sketch

34
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.599
comedy the same way he revolutionized well everything he touches

35
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.319
that then catches fire. The really wild part, Bennett says,

36
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.759
Trump walked around thirty Rock mostly by himself, while other

37
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.840
celebrities travel with entire entourages. But my favorite detail is

38
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.080
that when Trump took that mysterious phone call during table read,

39
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.039
cast member Leslie Jones tried to break the tension by

40
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.639
asking how much money did you just make on that

41
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.400
phone call? Everyone laughed except Trump, who claimed he just

42
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.840
found out his book went to number one. Bennett's reaction

43
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.039
was basically, really, that didn't sound like good news, but okay.

44
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.319
Trump biographer Michael Wolfe revealed that people in the Trump

45
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.280
administration are getting irritated when anyone brings up the seventy

46
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.439
nine year old president's health. According to wolf Trump's team

47
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.439
sees him as inexhaustible, but also acknowledges that one day

48
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.319
he will just go over. That's quite the medical assessment there.

49
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.719
He's unstoppable until he stops forever. The White House recently

50
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.960
revealed that Trump has chronic venus insufficiency, which causes swollen legs,

51
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.319
and apparently they've been editing official photos to hide his

52
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.280
swollen ankles. The White House is now using photoshop like

53
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.400
a teenager, posting Instagram selfies. Make sure you get my

54
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.599
good ankle. The best part is they're calling him inexhaustible.

55
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.479
Have you seen this man's schedule? He wakes up at

56
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.840
ten am, watches cable news, eats Hamburgers, and posts on

57
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.919
social media. My retired neighbor has a more demanding routine,

58
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.439
and he spends most of his day yelling at squirrels.

59
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.759
But sure, he's inexhaustible. The man who needed a golf

60
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.599
cart to keep up with world leaders walking is apparently

61
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.919
the energizer bunny of politics. Here's what's really happening. Trump's

62
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.520
team knows that admitting he has health issues would be

63
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.479
admitting he's human, and their entire brand is built on

64
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.719
the idea that he's somehow superhuman. So instead of saying, yeah,

65
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.759
he's seventy nine and has some health concerns like most

66
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.159
seventy nine year olds, they're going with He's immortal and

67
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:11.520
we're annoyed you noticed his ankles. Cracker Barrel just reversed

68
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.759
course on their logo redesign after massive customer backlash. They

69
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.399
had removed Uncle Herschel, the little old timer character from

70
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.680
their logo and replaced it with just text. The backlash

71
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.600
was so swift and brutal that their stock price actually dropped.

72
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.959
Nothing says successful rebranding like losing money immediately. It took

73
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.639
them exactly one week to cave and bring back the

74
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.000
old Timer one week. I've seen people stick with bad

75
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.639
haircuts longer than that, but Here's where it gets really good.

76
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.720
Donald Trump personally weighed on the Cracker Barrel logo situation.

77
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.399
Trump posted, congratulations Cracker Barrel on changing your logo back

78
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.800
to what it was, make lots of money, and most importantly,

79
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.600
make your customers happy again. Now, if only we could

80
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.279
slip Cracker Barrel a copy of the Epstein fire files,

81
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.839
maybe they would release them. Deputy White House Chief of

82
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.839
Staff Taylor Bodowich said Trump actually had a phone call

83
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.399
with Cracker Barrel about this. A phone call. Can you

84
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.879
imagine being the Cracker Barrel executive who had to take

85
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.959
that call? Sir, the President is online one about our

86
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.680
biscuits and logo situation. The company said they listened to

87
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.519
their customers, which is corporate speak for people lost their

88
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.079
minds and we panicked. Portions of today's show were made

89
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.560
with the help of AI. A side of greens, mashed

90
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.879
and released the Epstein files. You cowered
