0:03
audio recording of a recent episode of
0:05
Seth Meyers' corrections. To watch
0:07
new episodes of corrections, subscribe to the
0:09
Late Night YouTube channel. In
0:15
the year 2021, Late
0:17
Night Talk Show host Seth Meyers unleashed
0:19
the full fury of the internet with
0:21
the utterance of a single word. These
0:24
are the stories
0:27
of one man's descent into the
0:29
bowels of the internet and his
0:31
courage to take on the most
0:33
dangerous people on earth, YouTube commenters.
0:36
Recorded every Thursday after the audience
0:38
has left Studio 8G and witnessed
0:41
only by scattered members of the late
0:43
night staff and crew. This
0:45
is corrections, the podcast. Corrections,
0:53
episode 113, week of Monday, September 16th, 2024. You
1:00
can't be biased against something, you can
1:02
only be biased for something. If that's
1:05
true, why are Emmy voters so biased
1:07
against corrections? Hey,
1:11
by the way, Emmy winner, one
1:14
killer question, the only murders in the
1:16
building after show which won the
1:18
Emmy, congratulations again to them, not
1:21
doing new episodes. So now
1:23
I'm even angrier because
1:26
it turns out if you win, you get
1:28
to stop. Did
1:38
a tour de force, as Shoemaker
1:40
says, where
1:42
I did the voices of the entire Seinfeld
1:44
cast. Someone
1:47
wrote in and said, you said entire cast
1:49
is Seinfeld but you only mentioned the
1:52
main cast. So
1:55
who did I leave out? NOOVIN!
2:00
Somebody was really upset about this from a
2:02
closer look, that it's not
2:04
champagne in the champagne flute.
2:08
And they said they're just really skeeved out when
2:13
they don't see champagne in a champagne flute. And
2:18
I apologize, and it will not happen again. It
2:21
was an oversight. And
2:23
I'm not going to say anything. I apologize,
2:25
and it will not happen again. It
2:29
was an oversight. Somebody
2:32
else said, Hey, there's a
2:35
no brine in the pickled pelican
2:37
jar. Well, someone
2:39
has an eye for brine. Scrabble
2:46
tiles will fall out of a bingo cage. Okay.
2:54
We said that the pope
2:57
was an undecided voter. And then
3:00
a bunch of you said the pope is not
3:02
a U.S. citizen, so he cannot vote in the
3:04
U.S. election. And
3:07
then when he heard that, the pope called
3:09
us all a bunch of... Bleep. Stalin!
3:24
Stalin! Died
3:27
in 1953. Rowan and Martin's
3:30
laugh-in premiered in 1968, so Stalin could
3:32
not have appeared on laugh-in.
3:37
Also, we said that was a joke when we
3:39
referenced laugh-in. We said that was
3:41
a joke for people over the age of 50. Someone wrote
3:43
in, try 60, because I'm 58 and
3:46
have no idea what you're talking about.
3:52
Also, when I said sock
3:54
it to me in a
3:56
Russian accent, someone
3:59
said, Stalin did not have a Russian accent.
4:02
He was from Georgia. He had a Georgian
4:04
accent. He would not have said, ''Sulka to
4:06
me.'' He would have said, ''Hi, y'all.'' People
4:14
are upset we are still doing the surprise, same
4:17
surprise ending at the end of a closer look.
4:19
So I want to do a new one. And
4:23
we just got to edit it together. I want to do that,
4:25
like, horror movie thing where it's like someone is still, and then
4:27
all of a sudden, so it's like this. It's like, ''Hoorah!''
4:32
But, like, edit it. Let's
4:35
do it again. ''Hoorah!''
4:44
See how it looks. Someone
4:48
said, ''Isn't'' I said, ''Victoria
4:50
Falls'' was one of the seven wonders of
4:52
the natural world. Someone says, ''Isn't
4:54
it Niagara Falls?'' It is not. But
4:57
the footbridge that crosses Niagara Falls is one
4:59
of the 21 bridges or tunnel that
5:02
goes to Canada. So
5:04
that's pretty cool. Constellation price. ''Smokey
5:21
bear, not smokey the bear.'' Someone
5:25
said, ''My Harrison Ford impression ''sounds
5:29
like Jennifer Coolidge.'' Multiple
5:32
people said that. That
5:35
can't be true. ''Laughing at
5:37
fuzzball?'' It's not. ''Snakes?
5:44
Why is all that got me snakes? ''Hey,
5:49
hey, hey. Get
5:54
off my plane.'' I
6:01
didn't kill my wife. Can
6:06
I say something about the one-armed man? Bad
6:11
guy. Still, the fact
6:13
that he continued to be an assassin after losing the
6:15
arm... A
6:20
lot of people would have hung it up. I'm so
6:22
confused. Mentioned
6:29
Star Wars last week and said, you know,
6:32
basically said, like, you know, Star Wars wasn't
6:34
shot in space. And what he wrote in,
6:36
since the Earth is in space, technically Star
6:38
Wars was made in space, and
6:40
this is why I hate you. You
6:48
know, someone wrote in this
6:50
whole corrections thing is
6:53
this whole corrections thing is
6:56
as inaccessible as my
6:58
father's love. Well,
7:01
now you're finally getting it. We
7:06
were talking about what is and
7:08
what isn't a palindrome. Obviously,
7:11
the most famous one people were suggesting to me.
7:14
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.
7:18
Someone wrote one I'd never heard before. Go
7:20
hang a salami. I'm a lasagna
7:23
hog. That's
7:25
a palindrome. I checked. That's a palindrome. My
7:28
favorite palindrome is, oh! A
7:32
man, a plan, a canal,
7:35
Panama, ho. Did
7:42
a day drinking. And by the way, I knew
7:44
this was coming. I knew we'd hit a tipping
7:46
point. Someone wrote in, I don't
7:48
think drinking is funny. And I don't either. I
7:51
just think I'm super funny when I
7:53
drink. Talk to you later. about
8:00
11% off
8:02
at Menards. Bunch
8:05
of people in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Wisconsin
8:07
had a lot of proprietary ownership of Menards,
8:09
and they wanted to stress that that's a
8:11
Menards company. And
8:14
Eau Claire, or
8:17
as Shoemaker says, Water Claire. They
8:23
said it's not an 11% off. It's an 11% rebate. You
8:27
have to send in the bottom portion of your receipt
8:29
with a rebate form, and they send you a card
8:31
with all the rebates you sent in. You use that
8:34
in place of cash at checkout, only at Menards. Save
8:36
more money at Menards. Oh,
8:39
and I realize I've been tricked into doing a live-ed.
8:46
Who sent that in? Oh.
8:49
Drum Eric Schnauzerdad 41. Just
8:57
ask. I
9:02
talked about how people said my day-drinking drawing
9:04
looked like Margaret Thatcher
9:07
or Jimmy Carter today. And
9:11
somebody wrote in, You actually look like
9:13
Obama. This is a true
9:15
thing. You actually look like Obama in
9:18
your day-drinking photo, side by side it,
9:20
to prove it. All
9:22
right, so, side by side. This is me and Obama. Oh,
9:26
f*** right. Identical.
9:34
It's a short one, but, guys, here's the thing. My
9:38
kids came to the show today because Jaylen Brunson was
9:40
on and Josh Hart were on, and my son Axel's
9:42
kind of obsessed with Jaylen Brunson, and so he came
9:44
to the show, and it was great having him here.
9:47
Really fun. But at one point, Axel
9:50
came over to me during the show, and he pulled
9:52
me in to say he had a
9:54
secret, because, you know, it's loud, and
9:56
I got really close, and then he... in
10:00
my ear. Can
10:03
I have the Legos on your desk? And
10:06
I think he blew my eardrum. Again,
10:09
it's my... Look,
10:12
it reflects badly on the parent when
10:14
your kids don't understand how whispering works. I want
10:19
to close with this, because it's very exciting, because I want
10:21
you guys to be invested in both
10:23
the future of the show and the NFL football
10:25
season. I get in the
10:27
elevator yesterday. I
10:29
get in the elevator yesterday with John and Jim,
10:32
you know, my crack security team, and... And
10:37
Kenny gets on. And, you know, when Kenny gets
10:39
on, you know, basically John and Jim are like,
10:41
we're out, right? Like, they're like... Because
10:45
Kenny on an elevator is like... Captain
10:49
America and Winter Soldier. Like, up
10:52
close, like, John and Jim are useless against him.
10:54
And so... And
10:57
Kenny goes, I got a bet
10:59
for you. So here's the thing. The Steelers and
11:01
the Jets are playing this year, and Kenny wanted
11:03
to make a bet about the Steelers' Jets game,
11:05
October 20th. And Kenny goes... Kenny
11:09
goes, if the Jets
11:11
win, you got to have
11:13
a mug on your desk with the final score
11:16
for the rest of the football season. And
11:18
I'm like, okay. And then what else? And
11:21
he goes, and if the Steelers win, I'll
11:23
get a tattoo. True
11:26
story. I'll get a tattoo of the score.
11:29
And your signature. You
11:32
can sign my arm, and I'll get a tattoo. Like, that's
11:35
what I want. Kenny walking around with mine. Talk
11:39
about a trap. So the
11:41
cops show up, and they're like, you know this guy? I'm like,
11:43
I've never met him. And they're like, explain that! But,
11:49
like... I
11:52
want to mention something. I was ready... Because Kenny's been
11:54
talking about this so long. I was ready to make a
11:56
bet with Kenny on far more agreeable
11:58
terms to Kenny. Like, what Kenny brought to
12:01
me, I was like, are
12:03
you joking? It's
12:06
like if someone was like, if the Jets win, you buy me a
12:08
drink. And
12:11
if the Steelers win, I kill all your
12:13
enemies. Even
12:16
the ones you're on the fence about. So,
12:19
anyway, I mean, I'm just like, something
12:21
for you guys to look forward to.
12:26
I mean, I'm sure the jets are gonna win now. And I might
12:28
have a dumb mug here. And
12:33
then the next time Axel's here, he's gonna go go, get
12:36
out of the mug! It's alive! See
12:49
you next
12:51
week. For
