Caloroga Shark Media friends, this show will not be stopped. Every landscaper in the Tri State area is in my neighborhood right now. There’s a guy blowing leaves behind me. There’s a guy mowing the lawn to the left of me. But it is seventy nine degrees sunny and dry out.

So we are doing a poolside edition. Come hell or high water. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. We will test out my noise reduction capabilities on the MacBook. Shane gillis a little kerf Fluffle’ll been talking about this on the Quick Afternoon episodes, So just real quick, if you’re catching the three minute things I’ve been posting in the afternoon, I’m doing those for YouTube, So if you’re finding the show on YouTube, those are the videos.

And if you’re a regular audio listener that we’ve been doing this for eight years, nothing changes here, but that’s what’s going on with the afternoon episodes. I talked about this lightly, but there’s a Shane gillis kurf fluffel. Shane was at the Austin FC soccer game against Dallas on Sunday. Interesting choice. He was there with Matthew McConaughey, and on screen you saw McConaughey, and you saw Shane and on Shane’s right hand, and the cup holder was a dos Eki so which you know, a perfectly fine beer.

Everyone enjoys a good dos Equis unless you’re Shane Gillis and you’re a spokesperson for bud Light. Now, all of a sudden, you see somebody hand Shane a bud Light and he said, what what? Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And what’s making this even funnier now is TMZ is trying to clean this up, And TMZ reports a source close to Shane says the comedian wasn’t committing brand betrayal. You see the dose Eki sitting in the cup holder in Shane’s chair wasn’t his right.

It belonged to the girl sitting next to him, who wasn’t in her seat, just as the cameras shot Shane Gillis and Matthew McConaughey, Because why would you want to see the pretty blonde girl drinking a dose Egi’s Now, TMZ is really trying to clean us up, they say. In a different video, you could see McConaughey’s on Shane’s left and a blonde is on his right. In that clip, Shane’s can is in a woozy and she’s empty handed, but you could see a bit of a butt light peeking out from Shane’s grip.

Meanwhile, on the Wall Street Journal, Shane got a nice tire rotation from th…

They wrote about the new tires show a very favorable article towards Shane Gillis. They reminded us of how he was fired from Saturday Night Live in twenty nineteen. Oops. Shane said, I was doing stand up that night, like while I was getting canceled, I thought it’s the one thing I can do as for tires. The character of Shane, played by Shane Gillis is learning the big funny guy bit isn’t working so well anymore.

He is a vision of his own mortality. While eating chicken wings, he pictures an instant family with a freshly divorced woman he once had a thing within high school. My character’s a lot like me in real life. It’s kind of time to grow up. I’m almost forty, so I don’t know how much long I can do this whole frack guy thing.

Not that that’s what I’m ever going for, But you know that’s the perception. At least Shane is self aware of the perception. I was texting with my son the other night. Did you see the thing with what do they calling this kid out at Penn State? Pablo pledged Scobar.

Did you see this thing with the college students in the cocaine? Look it up anyway? I texted tom My son, what is the frat doing? Why don’t you guys just drink bud light and pretend to be Shane Gillis while you’re trying to be cocaine dealers? I digress.

So apparently Shane and Crewe were pitching Tires to Quibi, remember Quibi, which was short vertical videos, which in retrospect was the right idea. They just tried it seven or eight years too early. If they try that idea again in twenty twenty seven, it’ll probably work, The journal tells us. After Shane’s SNL firing, Quibi didn’t want him involved in Tires, but his friends refused to make the show without him. Shane made some money in twenty twenty three off the Netflix special Beautiful Dogs, and he decided, hey, let’s just make it ourselves.

Nobody was gonna buy our show without a proof of concept, so they made it themselves. Tires premiered on Netflix in twenty twenty four and went to number one. They ordered more, and now we’re into season three. I’ve been watching several episodes a night. I had to catch up in season two.

Not that I didn’t love season two. I just got distracted. You know, sometimes there’s just too much on TV. Like right now, haven’t watched Reacher at all. How to make time for It’s always Sonny in Philadelphia, which was great.

How do you hear the leafblour? How much leaves are there? It’s August stop. This is why I do the show pool Side. I like the distractions and the randomness.

Steve Gerbin, who co stars on Sire’s, had been working as a paralegal. Wow. He said, for Shane to have the success he had and then come back for all of us is something I wish I could say that I would do if I were in but I don’t know if I would. The other thing cracking me up I talked about this is on the short YouTube live shows, this whole thing with Nate Brighetzy, And you know, I’ve been doing the bit. You know me, I love a recurring bit.

So I’ve been leaning into the mega comedian in Aperghetzy, which is how the Daily Beast keeps referring to Nate. Well, apparently it’s getting sticky Parade magazine, you know, Parade magazine like your grandmother reads that. Remember that that’s still around. It’s pretty mainstream. They are now calling Nate Brigetzi controversial their headline and I shared it on the video yesterday.

Controversial comedian Nate Brighetzy. What is controversial about this guy? I mean, okay, he went to a UFC fight once. We’re going to cancel him because he went to a sporting event at the White House. Stop don’t be And I’ve talked about this, as you know, the President of the United States and I don’t agree on all the issues.

But if he wants to come on here, he can get sit poolside. The Secret Service can clean the pool. While I’m interviewing the President, I’ll ask him about Saturday Night Live and comedy and what comedians he’s into. I’ll start talking about Seth Myers and how we have to make twelve thirty greet again. By the way, we’ll get into that tomorrow with there’s a good Chris Fleming article.

But I would have the president on, you know, and if the President advites me to UFC fight, I’ll go anyway. Nay, Brighetzy controversial comedian. It is just so ridiculous. So here’s what Parade wrote. Although Burgetzy has become the highest grossing stand up comedian, making an astounding seventy seven and a half million dollars in twenty twenty five, his career hasn’t come without controversy.

After a photos surface of Burghetzie attending President Donald Trump’s You Have Ce Freedom two fifty fight blah blah blah. W caamau Bell criticized Burgetzy, saying, don’t be in a photo with fascists. Send your letters to w kamau Bell or n A. Berghatzy. I don’t care what side you’re on.

Oh, the landscapers are getting closer. Thanks guys. Here’s what I’m really really excited about. Joe Coy. Joe Cooy has announced a new Netflix special.

It’s called Blue in the Face. It’ll be out September fifteenth, which means we’re gonna have a lot of Joe Coy press, which means I’m going to be able to do my favorite bit. What’s your favorite bit? John? Hey, remember that one time Joe Coy told a horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift.

Here, let’s listen. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Oh, I am so happy that that bit is back film before a sold out crowd at Stockton Arena.

Joe Coy’s new hour seems him relive a wild dental disaster, recount getting fired from McDonald’s, and celebrating his veteran stepdad. Oh, there’s a trailer. I forgot to pull the trailer. By the time you hear this, I will have pulled the trailer. Here it is.

I assume dogs live on a different energy. They’re on another frequency. Ever you ever, you ever bring someone to your house for the first time and your dog’s ever met that person, and right when they walk in, your dog’s like, who is this? Who are you? Who are you?

Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Whoso who are you?

Who are you. Who are you? Who are you? Stop it? Stop it?

Who are you? Dude? Here? You due? Wore you dude?

Who are you to get over there? Get on? Looked at? Who is this car? Who is this car?

Who is this car? Who is gonna sit out? Oh? I didn’t make an edit there the landscapers stopped. Do you hear how quiet is?

I don’t know what you can hear it out with the noistroduction, but oh my god, as I say that, so it’s the guys on the left. Stop. The guys behind me just started up again. Please stop. This has been going.

I’ve been It’s one twenty one as I’m recording, I’ve been out in the yards since ten am. It’s been three and a half hours of landscapers. Because I do have to write the shows before I record the shows, you know, I have to look this stuff up by digress. Once again, you’re a little loose today, John, Yes, that’s why we’re poolside. Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her, so we’ll talk about her new project, which I just look at this and I just wonder about the decisions some people make.

Maybe it’s just because I’m a reserved person, but Amy Schumer’s new movie is called Best Divorce Ever. Feels a little soon to me, but what do I know? Best Divorce Ever follows Amy Schumer’s character Clarissa and Franklin, who, after twenty years together, decide they’re done with marriage, but not with each other, determined to pull off the world’s most amical divorce. This sounds familiar, Amy Schumer amical divorce, trying to get along. I feel like I read that in the news several times.

I wonder if Clarissa takes bikini shots on a boat and post them on Instagram. I digress once again. Determine to pull off the world’s most amical divorce, they throw an untying the non party and eagerly embrace their newly single lives. But when disastrous dates, suspicious children, and spectacularly misguided attempts at conscious un coupling throw their perfect glen in a chaos, Clarissa and Franklin discover that getting divorced is the easy part. Figuring out how to stay a happy family is where things get complicated.

There is a lot of news today. Robbie Hoffman is putting out an album of Robbie Hoffman Special Weak Up produced by John Mulaney. This is the special that aired on Netflix last December. Now it is an album from legendary indie label Secretly Canadian. I was unfamiliar with them until I saw this new story, but I’m sure they air Legendary.

The album will be available in a digital format as well as a limited run of signed vinyl. Robbie Hoffman said, I come out very rockstar like. It’s almost like this old Andrew Dice Clay way of doing comedy. On tour, I’m in a lot of historic music venues and we’re bringing the house down with comedy instead of music. Our fandoms have really collided.

She’s excited to sign albums, she said, you always see those pictures of artists signing stuff. They want me to do that now, so I’m going to do that. I’ll take a picture and then press release. Robbie Hoffman jokes that putting out a physical album is the only way her mother will finally hear the special. When Robbie got started in comedy a decade ago, her mother started sending her comedy records.

Now, Robbie hits record stores in towns. So far, she’s got about fifty records she said, his mom’s been sending me Carlin and Joan Rivers. There’s a lot of Carlin. She says, she also has some Bill Cosby. Seems like her mother doesn’t know the latest news with Bill Cosby, and then mom is going to be quite surprised when I finally tell my Bill Cosby story after the death of mister Cosby at some indeterminate point in the future.

Can’t tell that one yet, folks. She says her mother doesn’t pay attention to pop culture to know anything about what’s going on. She just knows the work. It’s actually a great way to live. When I got into comedy, she’d be like, Oh, you should listen to Lenny Bruce, Jackie Mason, and I used to think those people were hacks.

Right then I went back and I’m like, those guys are awesome. She’s totally right. So much news that this is like the eighth story. Today, the New York Comedy Festival has added more than one hundred shows to the lineup, which is good because I wasn’t impressed with the lineup so far. The ten day celebration of Comedy takes place in New York City November sixth through the fifteenth.

The new editions joined previously announced headliners including Mark Maren, Alana Glazer, Jordan Jensen, Jordan Klepper, Sarah Sherman and Patty Harrison. That’s One Show, Daniel Sloss, ze Way, Ben Bankis, Mojo Brooks, and a bunch of others. Caroline Hirsch said, we’re through to continue building out this year’s near A Comedy Festival lineup with an incredible range of shows, et cetera, et cetera. I still don’t see, like, like, who’s the A lister there, Marin. I mean, it just feels like a drop off from the past.

All right, real quick. I gotta be better about promoting my other show. I also a show called Five Good News Stories. Here’s how it works. It’s me and I tell you five stories and they’re good news, right.

So it’s like cute stories or smile stories or world records or dogs coming home after seven years being lost like that kind of stuff. No politics, no outrage, Just search for five good News Stories wherever you found this show. It comes out four times a week. One of the four days is Thursday, so you’ll find a new episode in your feed right now, and if you like it, there’s like four hundred you can go back and listen to. Brett Goldstein is touring.

It is the Sex, Death and Small Talk Tour. I thought his last comedy special was actually really strong. I might actually go see him. John, You’re gonna leave the house, I know right. It kicks off October twenty third in Madison, Wisconsin.

Let’s see where he’s near me. I could drive down to Philly and see him at the met Philip Day Elia on December third, which actually from where I live is easier than going to Venue TBA in Brooklyn, New York. On December fifth, the tour wraps up in Boston and November sixth. He’s got a website. You can check this out.

This one I’ve wanted to get to all week. I’ve mentioned in the past. Some podcasters are known to have a crush on Diane Morgan, and this headline caught my attention. Man wearing Perver glasses films himself harassing famous female comedian. That famous female comedian is Diane Morgan, which some podcasters have a crush on, but do not harass people nor wear Perver glasses.

So some social media user named Mark filmed himself annoying British comedian Diane Morgan. In the video, we see Mark asking a taken aback Diane Morgan, excuse me? Can I get your phone number? This was uploaded to social media. I don’t want to promote the video, but the title is rizzing on Kunk.

If you’re not hip to it, Dian Morgan plays filhmina Kunk on some very funny videos. Mark said, I saw the cameras on you thought you wereked gorgeous. A crew member said, hey, can we get some space. Mark apparently says, don’t effing touch me. We’re gonna have a problem.

Okay. Another crew member said, we’re working. We’re in the middle of a shoot. This is what we all do for a living. One social media user said, I don’t know how you filmed that video.

Watch it back and decide. This is how I want to present myself to a globally connected population. Leave Diane Morgan alone. If you have a Crushunner host a podcast on Gossip Corner. Pete Davison has taken his upstate New York home off the market, two months after he slashed the asking price.

Pete initially purchased the four bedroom three bathroom house for one point nine five million dollars in twenty twenty three. In February decided to sell it. Listed the home for two and a half million. A few weeks later he dropped the price to two point twenty seven and then in April dropped it to two point one five million. It is now back off the market.

Perhaps Pete likes living there and I’m not the only person who likes to be pool side. Apparently Kevin Hart was pool side. This came out of an African newspaper. They were very excited. Kevin went viral after a clip surfaced of Kevin Hart and moving to the I’m Gonna butcher all the words here ampiano track Whozizwa Kanjohn was shared on social media by the Hype channel.

They captured it Kevin Hart vibing to Uzizwa Conchon song. In the clip, we see Kevin Hart dressed in an open white linen shirt, shorts, sunglasses and sneakers in front of what appears to be a breezy beach front. Backdrop me I’m dressed like Adam Sandler and that is your comedy news for today from poolside. All right, it’ll be back in the afternoon with the quick video version of this, and then back in the morning with the full audio version of Daily Comedy News. See you then
