0:53Corrections Episode 183 Week of Monday, October 19th, 2026 Hey everybody, right off the top This isn't corrections It's just not There wasn't much and I was all day I was kind of nervous and stressing out Because I didn't think it was going to be a very good corrections And then I realized I could just say it's not a corrections So that isn't what this is I don't know what we're going to call it But it's not a correction So for anybody who's like worst corrections ever Try again Somebody wrote not a correction but a verification So maybe this is verifications It's the first verifications Michigan has well over 100 penguins In various zoos across the state 80 in the Detroit Zoo alone While Alaska has zero in the entire state I do believe, like, what I know about Alaska I think, like, a lot of people who go to Alaska are sort of on the lam You know, you see a lot of new mustaches Like, you know, blonde hair So there might be a penguin there that's like You just don't know it's a penguin Just a penguin who committed a crime And then thought Alaska was a good place to start over again So if you see, like, a pelican That's, like, walking around like that Someone else wrote Not a correction, but a confirmation So maybe this is...

2:23it's confirmations Episode one Detroit Zoo is home to the largest penguin facility in the world So you would More likely run into a penguin in Michigan than Alaska Hey, Shoe Shoe Hey, Shoo Shoo Hey, Shoo Shoo Shoo, hey, Shoo You know what the most You know what the name of the most famous penguin in Detroit is? Shoo? Pen-N-M

3:03I knew he'd like it We said the University of Sichuan And we said the mascot was a wildcat A lot of talk online about whether or not A lot of people said no mascot The phoenix is potentially the mascot I have nothing for that And if this was corrections, I'd be like, that's not enough to even mention But this isn't corrections Somebody said, because we have this great the Jimzilla puppet. This is a bit. Nobody's got any complaints about the old Jimzilla puppet. Somebody wrote, A puppet show is not the worst idea. Puppets are like gay waiters. They can say anything and get away with it.

3:56Also, I got some puppet protocol notes about the best way to operate a puppet, which is I was kind of doing this. And they said the best... I might have to switch it. I might have to switch Jim Zillow to my right hand. That you want to just move the lower part. Oh, it's really harder than I thought. Because, like, make it like the human jaw only opens from the bottom. And I guess people don't like puppet shows. They want to believe they're real.

4:30Hey, Jim Zillow. Is that Um A lot of people were saying Jim's That you sounded like My uh Bernie Sanders No I don't think That's true at all So like what Do you do impressions No I don't like To do impressions Well could you do Your best Bernie Sanders Okay Well I don't believe

4:55Too many of the Millionaires of the Billionaires Get the fancy suitcases

5:03Hold on Keep the camera I'm gonna try to bring the suitcase into the picture

5:11That's what I That's my Bernie Sanders That was great, Jimzilla Thank you Do you think John's upset that he hasn't gotten his own puppet? I do

5:25Okay, what else?

5:31A lot of people feel very strongly we should retire Me trying to remember all the guests' names Here are some of the comments about that Thank you You're welcome

5:49If I wanted to watch someone try to figure something out I would video myself at work I don't need to spend my time watching him try to remember things I waste enough time trying to remember my own stuff This one hurt a little bit, Shu Did you rehearse this or was it spontaneous? Whichever one, it was bad So moving forward for name the guest We're going to put it aside for a while Not until December at the earliest And then I will have one minute to name the guests And I think that will make it more interesting moving forward But I will be allowed to phone a friend But the only two people I'm allowed to call are Andy and my wife

6:49Neither of whom are gonna be much help.

6:56Do you think this is a positive or a... Shoo. Shoo. Shoo, do you think this is a positive or a negative comment that someone wrote in? Jackal gnaws off leg while watching this episode.

7:16What else?

7:21I forgot, people were like, how can you forget Jessica Biel? Speaking of name, I guess. I forgot Jessica Biel. And I was embarrassed, too. And then I went home and I was saying to my wife, you know, I forgot Jessica Biel. And she was like, that's my fault. And I was like, what do you mean that's your fault? She goes, that's the tea I give you is to forget other women. And I'm like, which tea? She goes, the tea every morning. I'm like, the one you encant over that when I drink, the lights flicker? She's like, yeah. That's to make you forget other women. And I was like, I thought that was for digestion.

7:52Last week, again, this would be, if this was corrections, this would be episode 183. Last week, episode 182. Goes fast, doesn't it? Shoe? Goes fast, Shoe. 182. Hey, Shoe. Shoe. Shoe. Goes so fast, Shoe. Goes so fast, right? One day, doing the first episode of Corrections Then you blink, 182

8:35They both worked with my audience So, I mean, that's it Woof, woof, this was a Corrections I would not be too happy right now But it wasn't It was Well here's my impression of Mark Zuckerberg drinking a Guinness

9:03You know I'm down to one of the last three to play James Bond Yeah Elkin and Sarkis just called It's either It's a dude married The guy's married to Dua Lipa And the Slow Horses guy and me And so those guys, I guess, are doing screen tests And then they wanted me to self-tape They wanted me to self-tape So anyway, I'm going to go back to my dressing room And just nobody talk Because I got to get it on tape And it's a lot of sides It's a lot of sides And I feel like, oh, I'm just worried because I said to Sarkis and Elkin, I'm like, I'd really love this one. And I feel like they maybe are making me...

9:53I don't know if it's how real it is. Well, they said it's down to me and the other two guys. Because I read a thing that they're screen testing, and I was like, is this bad that I'm not? And they're like, no, they're still super into you, but you just have to self-tape.

10:10All right. Hey! I'm a little worried, you know, because I do want to start doing corrections again, and this isn't that. Um, but, like, maybe this... I might... Like, don't be super mad if I just start doing it every other week in, like, an effort to, like, make sure I have enough stuff. Because, like, that is kind of what happened today. That was why I got nervous. And then, you know, I stopped being nervous when I realized this isn't corrections. But, um, anyway, you guys are cool. And if there's anything I know about you guys, you'll be chill with that. I asked Ellen to get me a stuffed penguin, which she did, and then I was trying to figure out what to do with that.

10:48Maybe I'll have that cracked. Next time out. Although, based on how Penn and Em played...

10:59James Bond. Also, I said I'm going to need my cheaters. Elkins said, can you play James Bond without your cheaters? And I said, no. We'll see.

11:17Anyway.

11:21I wish it had been corrections. I like doing it.
