The Shark Deck, a local comedy podcast, are recorded a twelve minute podcast and realized he forgot to unmute his microphone, resulting in none of the podcasts being recorded. Sources say the episode spoke about Jim Gaffigan, Mark Norman, and Jeff Dunham, but was lost to time due to the incompetent behavior of the host. Welcome to Take Two, Tampa Bay’s at Night Guide caught off with Jim Gaffigan. Hey, Jim Gaffgan, A lot of the content you do is focused on your home life and family. How do your kids feel about that?
Gaffigan said, Yeah, it’s so interesting because you know, being a comedian is similar to every stage where you have children. There’s a point where they’re like, they don’t know what you do. They’re may be impressed at some point and then they’re like not impressed. But I would say they’re an endless source of material. And if you’re not complaining about your kids, you’re not president enough, you know what I mean.
Jim is making me laugh here because my kids have no idea what I do. I just I call it. I go down to the basement and I talk to myself and it’s probably from them, They’re like, why is dat and home all? What is he even doing all day? Because it looks like I’m goofing off on the laptop all day.
But you know, I have to write these things, I have to edit them, I have to post them their social media. I’m not saying I’m a construction worker out in one hundred degreee heat. I’m not complaining at all, but I could see my kids being like, what do you do all night? Did Tampa Bay Date Night Guide? Which is your home for comedy?
I forgot to mention that, said to Jim, your seventeen year old son, Jacket Gaff again, it has performed before and even open for you at one point. Is that something he wants to continue doing? Will he following your footsteps? Jim said, Granted, my son is seventeen, but you never have an idea of how long this interest is gonna last. You know, a kid could be really in a buzz Lightyear, so he convert their room and a buzz Lightyear thing, and then they’re like, I don’t like buzz Lightyear anymore.
I also want to encourage them, but I don’t want to force him to do it. He’s done it a bunch, but I’m also very much in the approach of letting him bring it up to me when he wants to do it. Good parenting. Jim gaff again, what about the other kids, Jim said, they’re all kind of funny. You know, it’s weird.
Sometimes even in parents teacher conferences, the teacher will be like, your child’s very funny, and I’m like, I want them to learn to read and write. So it’s one of those things you know, you’re just falling along seeing where it’s going to happen. Mark Norman and Sam Morrel do a podcast called We Might Be Drunk, in which they drink, talk about the comedy world, and ramble through random recommendations and observations. Out of that, they’ve released a special label Booze called Bodega Cat Whiskey, who reflects on their lives in New York, where there are bodega’s on many corners. Sam Morrell said, there’s something special about the bodega experience, like the weird little guy behind the counter who knows way too much about your life.
He sees you at two am, and then he sees you again at ten am. He sees you making the mistake and then he sees you paying for the mistake the next morning. Cracked as an article. Eleven comedian action figures you can find on eBay, ranked by how much they’re going for. Are you ready for these?
First up, ninety three will get you Dan Ackroyd as Beldar the cone Head, Number ten the blue collar Comedians for seventeen bucks. Now as part of the licensing deal, it’s just Jeff Lowry and Bill ron White apparently did not get a doll.
Also, the description says, squeeze their ample beer bellies and each one’s b…
Now Larry, Yeah, Larry’s got a bit of a belly, Jeff Foxworthy does not, and Bill Angwall does not. I’d actually describe Jeff Foxworthy as skinny. Been in the room with all three of these men many times, so I don’t know why the Jeff Foxworthy doll would have a beer belly. By the way, Accordity listenings, Bill and Larry the Cable Guy need new batteries. I guess people didn’t play with the Bill Angwall one that much.
Next up for twenty bucks, John Belushi in his Animal House persona with the College shirt. Twenty nine dollars and twenty six cents would get you a boar At, but only the head. It’s a custom made bore At one sixth scale head to direct from Kazakhstan by way of China. To description is brand new and high quality, very nice. The next one for thirty two bucks Colin Quinn, Jay Leno, and Robert Klein.
It’s a set Krack says. Maybe you want to recreate a lost nineteen ninety three episode of The Tonight Show or raise money from the homeless by putting on your own comic relief thirteen Avin Castell Hello, a set for forty nine ninety five gibe Kaplan looks like it’s in the original Welcome Back Cotter packaging fifty seven twenty nine. If you want to play with mister Cotter, it’s been almost fifty years, I’d leave that in the packaging. At this point, a custom Bill Burr will run you one hundred dollars. This is not a Mandalorian figure.
This is Bill Burr as a comedian in a blue shirt and some black pants. Comes with a microphone, and it’s on a faux back canner card that looks like a Star Wars backing card, but it is not as a custom The third one is someone named Eggashira, who was unfamiliar with apparently a Japanese comedian, and as I mentioned on the opening, this is the second time I’m doing this list, and it wasn’t that interesting the first time, so skip it. Move along. Number two Rob Schneider San Francisco Giants Edition, two hundred bucks. This is Rob Schneider and plaid pants wearing a San Francisco Giants jersey.
Not sure why that exists, but Crack points out they’re thirteen of them. On eBay. You can buy the one for two hundred dollars, but somebody else is selling it for seventeen ninety seven. And the one that boggles the mind is a signed Gabriel Iglesias Funco Pop going for four thousand dollars Cracked Rights. For some reason, Funco has released countless editions of Fluffy figures.
There’s Tapetillo, Fluffy Stadium, Fluffy Away Stadium, Fluffy, Fluffy with Dogs Day the Dead Fluffy, all more or less with Iglesia’s accurate body types. But if you want to splurge, this four thousand dollars Signed Pop Comedians Edition is for you today. It be snow Jam Comedy Festival or you in at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. If you are, I hope you’re at the festival. If not, what are you doing?
Kicks off today at eleven am. Intro to Improv with Improv falls. Eleven am is awesome. I like to go to bed at night and eleven am show. I’m there.
That’s a boss comedy club Jackie Kation. She’s recording the dork Forest Live podcast. That’s happening at one o’clock at the Spellbound Magic Shop and Theater. That sounds like a fun place. Let me look that up.
Spellbound Magic Shop resides in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They have a pop up bad that offers you ten percent and messes up your flows as your trying to read some copy for your podcast just pops up and it blocks the scent that you’re trying to read. We have a small shop full of beginner magic to advance routines. We offer classes and have our very own private fifty seat theater for parlor shows and variety acts. Looks like a good time at five o’clock.
Awesome start time again. So cool. The Snowflakes Comedy Showcase Ten Comedians. Love a ten comedians showcase. I really truly enjoy that type of show because you get to see so many new faces and get turn on a new comedians.
Plus it’s at five o’clock, so I could bang out ten comedians and a host and then go to bed. Who love it at seven thirty? Still nice and early The Hot Coco Comedy Showcase. This one also features ten comedians from around the country, but not the same ten boy back to back. If I could see twenty comedians and be done by nine pm, go back to my room, watch the football game tonight?
Who love this festival?
And then for you crazy people that can stay up to midnight, Jackie Kasen is y…
She’s playing at ten o’clock at Bosses Comedy Club the snow Jam Comedy Festival. Nice job of folks. If you want to check out some information Snowjamcomedyfest dot com. Decider was asking Jeff Dunham about how the puppets get made. He said, I really seriously didn’t get into the dummy making until the mid eighties when I was in college.
Back then it was plastic, wooden, fiberglass, and those are the mediums that I used until like ten to twelve years ago. I still sculpt them in clay. However, I do have a digital sculpture now that helps me. Every once in a while, I’ll give them notes and he’ll come up with something digitally and we put it together, won’t I have time. I make them out of clay, then I do a three D scan, and then I build a shell of dummy with a three D printer.
So yeah, there’s still a little human element in there. I like this next part. I hated doing the fiberglass stuff. The walter that I use now I made out of fiberglass, and after getting high in the garage not meaning to, I thought it was a horrible thing. Apparently fiberglass makes you high.
So I would give the sculpts to somebody else and he would make the fiberglass head for me. But I got out of fiberglass as fast as possible. That is for people who have air filters. How that’s your comedy news for today. Follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify YouTube.
I’m gonna make sure I actually save this file. See you tomorrow.
