Caloroga Shark Media. The Daily Comedy News podcast is like real life. If you didn’t listen to the Weekend. It was a lot of fun. The Weekend was silly and there was some alcohol involved.
But now it’s Monday morning, and Monday mornings are kind of like, uh, I hate Monday morning. So we’re gonna talk about politics. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Roywood Junior to Rolling Stone. They were curious, politics in America can feel pretty bleak right now.
How do you even begin to make it funny? Roywood Junior said, I think you make it truthful first, and from there fuddy will follow. There are a lot of things happening right now that you can’t necessarily go, well, what’s the funny part of all the deportations? But if you go, what’s the funny part about the policies or the hypocrisy of it, or National Guard troops sleeping in public because you sent them there without hotel accommodations, you can find the moments of truth in the midst of all this calamity, and through that you’re able to find the humor. Roy said, there’s always some injustice.
There’s always somebody dead that shouldn’t have dined. I’ve been doing comedy for twenty seven to twenty eight years now, so there isn’t some sort of oh, what they’re doing, what now? Well, let me really dial in and make it funny. I don’t think any comedian that tacks issues in this world is doing anything different than they were ten or fifteen years ago. John Oliver, John Stewart, Bill Mard, take your pick.
They’re doing what they’ve always done, but feels different, affects you differently. Water tastes different when you’re thirsty. I don’t think any comedian sits down to write the joke that’s going to heal you. I see you’re in pain, Try this joke. We’re here to provide escape the solutions.
That’s not our responsibility. Joe Rogan, who might not be the sharpest tool in the shed. I’ve got a story that I haven’t been able to get to. Maybe tomorrow. Joe Rogan suggested President Trump should replace Gavin Newsom as governor of California and fix California after Trump finishes his second term as US President.
Rogan said, just take over California and fix it. It’d be hilarious. If he did, it would be one of the funniest things of all time if an eighty two year old man steps into the office of governor of California. Brogan said he recently spoke with a friend who he’s leaving Los Angeles because that friend can’t stand the state’s politics anymore. Rogan said, it’s like everybody went crazy.
It’s like there’s something that happened because of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests and the riots and all the chaos. Whatever the temperature of the society was, it hit societal global warming where it’s like it’s time to investigate greenland, It’s time to move north, Like this is a bad climate. Now, this sucks. Now as why is this? Joe Rogan may or may not be.
There is a flaw in his logic. You see, the next California gubernatorial election is in twenty twenty six, so Trump wouldn’t be able to run until the twenty thirty election, at which point President Donald Trump would be eighty four years old. News we caught up with Leslie Jones. They covered a whole bunch of topics. One thing I thought was interesting, She says, I don’t think it is now.
But I think when I first came out, it was harder for women to have blue comedic material. I think now it’s more open for us just to be as dirty as the men. New topic, Leslie feels there has to be a change in Late Night. When you look at Late Night, all you see is white men in blue suits. And I’m not saying that they’re not bomb.
I love Jimmy, I love Seth, I love Stephen Colbert, but it’s all we’ve ever seen. Wait, which Jimmy’s you love? She said, I love Jimmy, I love Seth, I love Stephen Colbert. Now in that order, Seth is on? In was her brain thinking NBC?
Does she love Jimmy Kimmel but not love Jimmy Fallon? Should I start a controversy? Leslie’s view is that the Late Night’s shake up includes better writing and a woman host, ideally a black woman like herself, and more love coming through the TV. She’s asked about the new season of SNL and said, when you leave SNL, you don’t pay attention to what’s going on. I do know they don’t have a black woman on there.
That’s one thing I have paid attention to. Peacock announced the official premiere for Tiffany Hattish Goes Off, a new docu series out November thirteenth. The new series follows Tiffany Hannish and her childhood friends as they explore the continent of Africa. Six episodes. The women travel to places including Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and Zanzibar.
We’re told throughout the trip they take on new adventures, deep in their lifelong friendship and explore personal connections to the continent. The raw, vulnerable, and unpredictable version of Tiffany Handish will leave the viewer crying with laughter and sobbing from heartfelt, relatable and real time self healing. Bert Kreischer had Sebastian manascalgo on. Sebastian recently played the Rhea I Comedy Festival. This was on the Two Bears One Cave podcast.
Now, I haven’t had a chance to listen to this yet, but I was curious. Did Bert Kreischer ask Sebastian about the reod comedy Festival? But I did a search on the transcript. Now, how I do this? As I open up on my desktop computer, and I phrased it that way because I’m from nineteen eighty On my desktop computer, I opened up the Apple podcast app and I did a search for find.
I searched for the word Riod. Nothing came up. I searched for the word Saudi. Nothing came up, and I was like, hmm, perhaps search isn’t working. I should test this.
So I searched for the word pasta, and pasta did come up in context in the transcript. I don’t know who’s saying this, but the words are they go out to dinner and you’re like, hey, can we get the pasta with it? Oh, we don’t do that anymore. You don’t do that anymore. It’s like you get upset that you can’t share that experience with somebody else.
So that’s what they talked about on the podcast. Bert Kreischer was very very excited about this interview with Sebastian Maniscalco just back from the comedy Festival that he shared this hilarious clip. It was phenomenal. I love where you shot it so good. It’s expensive.
You’re such an ability to make me giggle that I can’t figure out You and Ny Pargott to the two people who can make me laugh, and I can’t figure out how to replicate what you do. That’s it. You’re done. Do you need to do anything else? What are we doing?
What else do you have to do on top of the stand up comedy? I mean, you’re you’re a guy who’s dabbling in a lot of facets of entertainment. How long is this going to go on? I’m sure you guys are all asking you, like, how long we have to come to this house? I s’s probably finished the Jim Gaffigan Bourbon article right otherwise it’ll be like December thirtieth, and I’ll want to have pre taped the day and you’d be like, John, you did three quarters of that article four months ago.
Why is this coming up today? Did you pre tape today? And the answer will be yes. But instead I’ll just clear it out right now in case you missed the weekend, and you should go back and listen. Because Johnny Mack was entertaining himself.
Jim Gaffigan sat down with Garden and Gun and I’m still confused why the website is called Garden and Gun and the topic is Jim Gaffigan’s love of bourbon. We also learned yesterday Jim Gaffigan is afraid to offend anyone. Lest he lose even one person in the audience, he’ll couch everything safely. Jim said, what I’ve learned through my stand up is that when I come up with material while I make fun of something, I’ll then go do that thing. I made fun of hiking, I enjoy hiking.
I made fun of grapefruit juice. I love grapefruit juice. Now maybe he should start making fun of not calling people back who helped his career early in the serious days. Sorry, I digress, Jim said, I’m from the Midwest, and one of those was making fun of all those Midwestern dads with basement bars.
And now I have a bar I constructed, but share a drink with my brothers and th…
It’s one of my favorite moments. Now. Tom Wilms, who for Garden Gun, asked Jim gaffigin all these questions, they did a lightning round. Question number one, what’s the best time of a bourbon? Jim, I’m not a day drinker, and usually like two and done.
Oh, he’s a lightweight. But if I’m here in Louisville and we’re sampling, and it’s a whole different thing. Question number two, neat rocks or cocktail Jim. I’m a big rock guy, but I like it neat and has to be of a certain quality to be neat. I do like things cold.
I mean I look like a snowman. I should like ice. Hilarious Jim. Question number three, what’s your best worst dad joke? Jim Gaffikin said, Here’s the thing about dad jokes.
The enjoyment that a father feels and doing a dad joke is the discomfort inflicks on the child. It’s not about it being funny. Like eight year olds, they think it’s funny, they’re figuring it out, they’re dumb. But it’s about the annoyance it provides to a teenager. It’s the punishment of it.
Spinal Tap is back yet again. No, this isn’t a rerun, this isn’t a three month old episode. This is new news about spinal Tap. They’ve announced a concert movie, Spinal Tap at Stonehenge, the final finale. Good title you see.
Spinal Tap at Stonehenge the Final Finale captures a secretly staged concert at the famed megalithic structure in England. It features appearances from Shania Twain, Eric Clapton and Josh Grobin. It’ll be on IMA twenty twenty six. It is described as the first ever rock concert at the historic English Heritage site. Some fact trekkers pointed out, dude, the Thompson Twins played there.
Bleeker Street CEO Kent Sanderson said in a statement, I’m sold. This is it. They’re really serious this time. Well, this is ostensibly the end. How fitting it is that the actual probab will send off a shot historically at Stonehenge, the mysterious landmark that we now know must have been erected thousands of years ago purely to serve as the setting for the last act of spinal tap.
Congratulations to bj Novak, you know him from the office. Well, Fox has taken an equity stake in his chain food service. Do you know this chain started as a West Hollywood parking lot pop up in which a Michelin star chef crafted homages to nostalgic chain restaurant classics. Yeah, they did collabs with Taco Bell. You know, I could go for some Taco Bell today.
Maybe I’ll take a ride. Sometimes Taco Bell hits the spot like I teach on Monday nights and for some reason at like eight forty five five pm on a Monday night driving home. No, I’m gonna watch Monday night football, the like super basic, Taco Bell, Beef, Taco Soft, nothing on. It just hits the spot. I know some of you think it’s like meat like product wrapped in paper, but it hits the spot sometimes.
Anyway, with collabs with Taco Bell and Beizza Hut Jack in the box, we need some jack in the boxes on the East coast. Oh, I was just out in la In and out Burger is the jam, you guys. We got to get that. In New Jersey Pepsi, Duncan and Banda Express on the menu. Chain pop Ups became one of the hottest tickets in town.
Now, what is this development deal? I don’t understand it either. Apparently Chain Media gets a first loop development deal at Fox with the potential for original content placement on Gordon Ramsey’s food content platform Bite and in vertical videos on Holywater. What’s holy Water? Apparently it’s an AI microdramas producer and platform bj Novak said, food continues to define culture.
It’s how we celebrate, it’s how we remember, it’s how we connect. No one understands how to turn culinary storytelling into cultural obsession. Like Fox Entertainment and studio Ramsey Global, we’re excited to work together to bring chain experiences to more people. Jud Appetel joked that Adam Sandler, the great traumatic actor, blew him off after booking SNL. Jud used to room with Adam Sandler.
Yeah, they were living together when Adam Sandler auditioned for SNL. Judd said, it was a fun time because all we were doing every day was trying to write jokes and get up on stage of the improfit night and tell those jokes. We were very focused. We didn’t have much more to our lives. We had no responsibility whatsoever, and we were just hustling.
We all knew Adam was going to make it. He was just remarkably funny to be around, really and had so much charisma, so we all thought it was going to happen. We were just interested to see how it was going to happen, and then it did. One day Adam Sandler said I’m going to go audition for Saturday Night Live, and the next day he said, I got it. Then he left me alone in the apartment.
Jud has a new book, Adam Sandler wrote a blurb before the book, saying, jud Appatols put together an amazing scrap book of his life and career. The best part there’s a lot of pictures, and the stuff that isn’t pictures you don’t even have to look at now. If you do read the words, you’ll be delighted. But again, personally, I didn’t. And Amy Schumer posted a selfie on Instagram while wearing a sports bra.
Yeah. She captioned it no filter, no filler, no clean mirror. She was showing off her weight loss.

Well, those first thirty or those are on me. Then you give me money, so I get the five bucks. Then Apple takes a third of it. I should actually do the math on this. I think they take thirty percent.
Alright, so point seven times five, John, you’re terrible at math, and it’s actually four ninety nine. Should we do Let’s just make it totally accurate while we do this. Sorry, points seven times four ninety nine, three dollars forty nine and three thousandths of a cent. Now my business partner gets half of that. So there’s a dollar seventy five.
We’ll call it one seventy four sixty five. So that’s how much there is there.
