From Pool’s side on Johnny maclay Your afternoon Daily Comedy News Update. We’ll talk about the Landscapers in a minute. Believe me, I’m excited about Dane Cook’s trailer. He’s got a movie coming out. I just watched the trailer for this thing.
It was awesome. The headline for people Deane Cook’s brother Daryl stole millions from him. Can you hear me over the Landscapers. That’s one of the things I have to check because I’m not using my proper microphone set up here. Deane Cook’s brother Darrel stole millions from him, hid cash and spaghetti sauce, and disappeared.
It is called Funny Money, The Deane Cook Story. It’ll be out video on demand September twenty ninth. I’m looking forward to this. This looks pretty good. People tells us that Dane’s brother, a former corrections officer, was ultimately arrested Spoilers in two thousand and eight and charged with stealing twelve million dollars from Dane Cook while acting as his business manager.
He pleaded guilty to larcene investment in forterye and twenty ten and was sentenced to five to six years in prison. He was also ordered. To repay the twelve million dollars to Dane Cook funny Money The Dane Cook Story. Now, what I think will be great about this is it’ll like we reignite people’s interest in Dane. I think people have forgotten, it’s been twenty years now how huge Dane Cook was.
Dane was selling out the Garden when that wasn’t that ball common. The guy was a rock star as a comedian. Went a nice looking guy. I know my female co workers really enjoyed him, but he was huge for you know, a good decade there. He was the top comedian and you don’t hear about him much at all.
So looking forward to the Dane Cook Story video and demand September twenty ninth. I’m also really excited. If you listen to the audio podcast, you know I love this bit. I’m excited Joe Coy has announced a new special Why John you see? And this is what the bit is.
Joe Coy remember he oose of the Golden Globes and he told a joke about Taylor Swift and she kind of made a stoneface about the joke. All the landscaper stopped good And I love doing the bit about one time Joe Coy he told his horrible meat joke about Taylor Shift and that I played on the audio podcast. So that’s a lot of fun. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL on the Goldie Gloves.
Yeah, fewer cariber shots of Taylor swept anyway. Joe Koy it’s his sixth Netflix special, Blue in the Face, Netflix, September fifteenth. And there’s an interesting article in the New York Times under the headline, some stand up comics are pivoting away from video. I finally start making video and now we’re pivoting away. Great, so is what the comedians are doing.
Instead of posting jokes, they’re doing kind of slide shows with texts. So it’ll be like a one two three, almost like a comic strip where it’s one two three set up punch. A comedian Eric Walsh explains, some people just don’t want to watch clips at work and stuff like that, and so the fact they can just scroll through the pictures it makes it way easier to consume and distribute. Another comedian said, text jokes. Work because you don’t have to have applause if you have a dead room that makes sense.
I also want to lightly touch upon this one, and I don’t want to make fun of anything other than on the audio podcast. I have said several times some podcasters have a crush on Diane Morgan, but don’t do this. The headline man wearing Perfect Glasses films himself harassing famous female comedian Diane More. Just want to be clear, not me. I don’t harass people.
Just talk about my crush on a podcast anyway, Diane’s out on a TV shoot. Some dude named Mark posted a video rising uncunk counk as the character that she plays. Mark asked Ian Morgan, excuse me? Can I get your phone number? Some of the crew come over and they’re like, hey, dude, dumb where we’re shooting here?
Can we get some space? Apparently Mark says, don’t ever touch me. We’re gonna have a problem. Okay. Another crew member said, we’re working, We’re in the middle of shoot.
This is what we do for a living now. Apparently this man was wearing what’s been known as the. Perfect glasses, the AI glasses that record people anyway, don’t harass people, and one more. I thought this was cool. A comedian, Sean Haggerty in Ireland has created the Nostalgia Room.
So my question to you will be, what would you like a nostalgia room. His retro room has stuff from his childhood in the eighties and nineties. It opens up on Saturday with a special appearance by Ghostbusters Northern Ireland famous Ghostbusters trooped. But I assume he says, in my retro everything has been carefully selected, collected over years, a lot of stuff I’ve had since childhood. It’s like a beautiful interactive museum you can touch, use and play.
Guests can expect old crttvs, a VCRs, a DVD player with DVDs, old comics and magazines, toys, posters and cassette tapes, retro consoles and much more. That’s what I would want. I would want an a Toury twenty six hundred, and believe me, I have one. I have a vintagitory and I also have one of those you know, modern fake kataris that’s just easier to hook up to the TV. I have both of those, and I would want Star Wars figures.
What would you like? Tell me in the comments, You guys think I’m doing a bit with the landscape is on the main show, right, Well, here’s the pool, so we are pool side. Yes, I know, it’s little green. We talk about the. Mantles and here is just can you see back there?
The relentless landscaping. It never ever ends. I mean, I need them to call over here and pick up my bird thing and actually cut my grass, and don’t. Worry, I’ll get to it one of these videos. We’re going to follow this guy around easier to clean up the leaves.
There’s one of the leaves you to get. To yet, And here’s the leaves, and yes, I know the pool great believe I’ve been being with it back in the morning with an audio episode. Again, if you’re listening to this on the audio feed, I’ve been doing quick three or four minute videos on YouTube in the afternoons. That’s what you’re listening to. And if you’re staring at me right now, I know.
And if you’re staring at me right now, this is really an audio podcast that comes out in the morning and those episodes are more like twelve minutes long, and catch it then
