The Shark Deck. I’m Chenny mag with your Daily Comedy News late night writers on strike. The Late Bot said, New York City’s yellow skies from the forest fires are like an homage to the subways, paying tribute to the countless yellow walled, urine stained stations that have become part of the iconic landscape. It’s like the skies are saying, this is New York City and yellow is our color.
Meanwhile, Pete Davidson taking on Peta.
Apparently Pete’s tired of being compared to a straight cat. Pete Davidson and Peter are going headshead and the billboard war. It’s like a rap battle, but with cute puppies and kittens on the side. On yesterday’s podcast, told you about that billboard. Apparently Pete did not hire a billboard, which is kind of a shame because I sort of liked the insaneness of that.
But it wasn’t Pete. It was a group called Core and they tell the New York Daily News they are responsible for a rotating digital billboard at the corner of forty third and Broadway. The billboard says Peta can’t handle Pete’s bde and they clarify, BDE stands for by dog energy. Pete is having none of this. They say it’s tragic that Pete didn’t seek out a borrow borne mutt from a city the animal shelter, because a scrappy New Yorker with charm personality and unconventional handsomeness could have been his perfect match.
I liked that they got that in there. You may recall Pete had left a voicemail. More details on the voicemail. Apparently, Pete said, my mom’s epic dog who’s two years old, died a week before, so we were all sad, so I had to get a specific dog. It was the same voicemail where Pete suggested that the person how do I explain this mouth stuff?
You got it? Move on. A spokesperson for Core, who put up the billboard said, we all think dogs deserve love. Pete thinks dogs deserve an early grave. Maybe instead of harassing celebrities, Pete should focus on actually helping animals.
The world could use a little more BDE, and by that I mean by a dog energy. Of course, Pete, in a statement to The New York Post, called Core fundamentally dishonest. The billboard is a front group the puppy meal industry, among others. It does not provide services or find homes for animals, and as a financial interest in propagating misinformation about Pete’s rescue team, which is on call twenty four seven to offer relief to abused and suffering animals and provide end of life services for people who can’t afford to pay for their sick and dying animals to be put to sleep. We encourage everyone who cares about dogs to adopt from a shelter and ignore this greedy group’s attempt to make a buck off the backs of suffering puppymeal dogs.
Core is a non profit. They say they research and expose a variety of activist groups. Apparently CORE has taken on different names over the years, including the Center for Consumer Freedom, and they have fought Peter back and forth over the years. Interesting, Pete added this billboard and anybody who supports it is on the wrong side of the issue. More Pete Davidson News he missed his shows in Raleigh, but it wasn’t Pete’s fall.
There was those forest fires. His flights were canceled. He couldn’t get there.
Meanwhile, on Gossip corner, Kim Guardashi and addresses rumors that she and …
You see in Back in October of twenty twenty two, report claim that Kim had rekindled her romance with Pete, returning to one of their favorite New York hotels two months after officially splitting up. But Kim said on The Kardashians she was using the New York City place for a date with a new guy who she’s calling Fred, and said, what’s so funny is my friends wanted me to meet somebody, so we go to New York and she picked that hotel. She said, that’s like my spot because there’s a private room downstairs. But then on the internet it was like Kim reconnects with Pete at this place. Kim was asked directly, was he there?
Kim said no, but it was the place that I would go and have my secret dinners with Pete. All right, pretty big ted Lasso news. It caught a lot of people’s eyes, including mine. Apple TV. They tweeted a picture of coach Beard, Roy Kent and Nate and captioned, it smells like potential.
People started wondering if that means there will be a Ted Lasso spinoff. Well. Coach Beard is played by Brendan Hunt, who was one of the co creators of the show, and he did an ama on Reddit. Will there be a spinoff? He says, we don’t know to break and we’ll take one.
Presently. Nothing’s been ruled out. Everything is possible, but that includes the possibility that we’re done. We won’t know until we’ve sat with it for a while, decompressed, et cetera. He talked about some of the plot lines from the recent season, including how it was teased there was maybe a relationship between Ted and Rebecca.
Maybe, he said the creators considered it out of professional responsibility, but never with enthusiasm. His theory the coach and the club owner are soulmates, but that they can be soul mats without it being romantic. Brendan Hunt said, we’ve been taught by years and years of TV that when there’s a male lead and a female lead they end up together. That could be hard conditioning to see passed. He addressed Coach Beard marrying Jane and Ted not being at the wedding.
He said story wise, Ted had just boarded a plane back to the US, so would have felt anticlimatic dav And back in the UK so soon hunt set Personally, I think Beard called Ted and told him we could sit this one out, and Ted said thanks, because the ceremony conflicted with a big game for Henry’s soccer team. The history of their relationship, in my opinion, is long periods of seeing each other in long periods, not We’ve entered one of the latter, but the former will come around at some point. They love each other, they’ll see each other again. He answered questions about Beard’s decision and Mary Jane because some people found the relationship abusive. He says he doesn’t think Jane is an abuser, though he admits their relationship is toxic.
As Ted says, their baggage goes together, real nice. They feel like they’re the right person for each other. The main thing we know about Beard and Jane, he just loves her. She makes life more interesting. Where he was once addicted to meth, he’s now, in my opinion, addicted to her pheromones.
Did I miss the meth plot? Huh? Is he making the right long term decision? Don’t know? Is he doing something that he wants to do right now, certainly, and there’s joy to be had in that, Hunt said, he and fellow creator is Jathon Sadakis, Bill Lawrence, and Joe Kelly intentionally left Ted and Michelle’s fate ambiguous when the Coach returns to Kansas.
This answers a question my wife and I had, And apparently doctor Jacob no longer in the picture, and Ted and Michelle care about each other, but they’re different people than they were when the show began. Their priorities being good parents to Henry. As for Roy and Keeley, he says, I’ve known couples who have seen perfect together and then suddenly fine, they broke up. People who haven’t gun to work on their stuff can sometimes find that they lose something they’d wish they’d kept. Taylor is back on on tour, selling on places all across the country.
That’s right, Taylor Tomlinson back on tour. Who think I was talking about? And Taylor Tomlinson said, I think we’re definitely in the middle of a boom right now. Even my manager has said stand up has never been like this before. I mean, people are playing arenas and doing multiple shows at theaters.
That’s a relatively new thing, even when it’s a kid. The people who did arenas were Dave Chappelle, Steve Martin, and Dan Cook. Did Steve Martin do arenas? I don’t recall Steve Martin touring comedy since way back, and I don’t know. I don’t know about that one.
Correct me if I’m wrong. Facebook Group, Daily Comedy News podcast Group. Taylor said, Now there are people I know that are in arenas, and even people who could do arenas but prefer smaller venues. She’s trying to figure out the inconsistency of TikTok. Taylor says, it’s hard to know exactly what to do on there.
There’s kind of no rhyme or reason to it, like what time of data post or what we’ll do well. Instagram is more formulaic. We’ll run post by each other and go, okay, is this joke good enough to do on stage? Where’s this just a quick one for TikTok. I have to really make sure that I’m good with stuff about myself being out there before I talk about it.
I struggled with that on the last special because I wasn’t sure I wanted to talk about it. Then I started talking about it and made me feel better. People were connecting with it. In my early in mid twenties, i’d kind of say anything on a podcast. It was a lot more loose on stage, and now more intentional because people actually pay attention.
They see me on purpose and remember what I say. She’s doing shows at the Pike’s Peak Center this weekend, then I’ll head off to Kansas City after that, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Back in the States this fall Colorado. September twenty second, Melissa Rivers is giving Joan Rivers assets to the National Comedy Center. This is pretty cool.
The museum is in the planning stages of an interactive exhibition that will center on Joane Rivers card catalog of jokes. Journey Gunderson is the executive director, She told The New York Times. When it comes to the Joe Never’s Joke collection, I don’t know that another exists that is nearly as vast. Carlin’s archives were mainly scraps of paper organized in a ziplock bag. As they put in a folder, Rivers paid close attention to set up some punchlines, typing them up and cross referencing them by categories like parents Hated Me?
Or Las Vegas or no Who’s sex Appeal. The largest subject area is tramp, which includes seventeen hundred and fifty six jokes. Great article about this in the New York Times, and they’ve got some examples of it. So here are some typewritten cards. One fashion My dress is by Calvin Klein.
My body is by Friedo Lay. Here’s one from April eleven, two thousand and three. I’m thrilled to be on Broadway. The only thing that could make me happier is if I’d slept with someone to get there. Here’s one titled no sex Appeal.
My vagina is like Newark. Men know it’s there, but no one wants to visit. Here’s a beat up sheet titled how to handle a Heckler. I’m sure she told these better, but some of them. Button your lip, your bridge is showing.
How do you want your forehead? One? Lumper? Two? Who is this guy in an empty suit?
Hide your head and your ill fitting to pay now? Even the typeface here makes me think this is sixties. I worked with Joan and around the turn of the century at WOR Radio. She had a radio show from seven and nine pm, two thousand and one. I worked with her a lot.
I remember your guest producing the show a lot during the anthrax scare that followed nine to eleven. I don’t know if you remember that. If you’re in New York, you probably do. She had two writers, an older guy and a younger guy, and they would sit there next to her and they would just scribble things down on index cards, pass them to Jane, and she could deliver a joke that had been in three seconds earlier. She might not even know what it meant, but could nail the punchline.
Really fun to work with her, And I’m going to leave you on a heavy note. This from People Anna Marie Tyler, ex wife of John Mulaney, is mourning the loss of her French bulldog, Petunia and reflecting on how the pet supported her throughout her divorce from John Mulaney. Warner in advance nothing fun for the rest of the podcast. If you want to check out, this is going to get really sad, really quickly, you’re ready. Petunia took her last breaths while cradled in my arms, even after life had left her body.
I sat with her, held her and continued to talk to her, told her how much I love her. I told her how grateful I was for her love and companionship. I promised her that I was okay, and that I’d be okay without her. Crushed, lonely but okay, Tyler wrote that in twenty twenty, during quotes a severe mental health breakdown and what appeared to be the impending end of my marriage, Petunia would now guard me with the deepest kind of love I’d ever known. When I was hospitalized for depression, self harm, and severe suicidal ideation in the first two weeks of twenty twenty one, the doctors asked me to make a list of my reasons for living.
Petunia was the one and only thing on that list. Millany and Tendler announced their split in May of twenty twenty one. That news came three months after John Milaney had completed a sixty day rehab stay to see treatment after a relapse of his decades long battle with addiction. Tendler writes, while Petunia had an undeniably adorable face, she was not what would you call a good dog. She was, in fact, very very naughty.
She inherited one of the worst terrier traits resource guarding. Oh, you dropped a tube of chapstick. Forget about it. That’s Petunia’s now. A sock did make it into the laundry.
Emperor Petunia found it. That’s now Petunias suck. Let this be a disclaimer to anyone who is lured to Frenchies by their expressive faces and silly personalities. If you’re considering getting one, don’t. They’re a breed that persists only through human medical intervention, and ethically, that is not a type of dog that should exist.
Petunia was a lemon, but she was my lemon and I loved her unconditionally. That’s your comedy needs for today. Follow the show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or YouTube. See tomorrow
