Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Pete Davidson went after a quote sneaky fan during his show at the City Winery late last week. Pete noticed somebody was filming and he stopped his show and shouted fu. According to an eyewitness, Davidson then instructed his security guard to escort the person out of the room.
Pete said he pays ten thousand dollars to lock up your phones, and then he carried on with his set as planned. He did not address the incident further in the remainder of his performance. A spokesperson for the City Winery told US magazine that the individual’s footage from the performance was quote erased after being removed from the events base. The Repseid Hour staff were devastated after the show, as they take so much pride and feel so lucky to be working on these special shows. These are the knights that make their hard work all worth it.
Apparently. During the rest of the show, Pete talked about his ups and down struggles with addiction, his attempts to set up his mom with a nice suitor. He also joked about trying to get Good Press. After his car crash. Eric Idol was on Twitter X and was asked to name something that Americans invented.
Eric Idol’s response, mass school shootings. They’re making a Barbenheimer movie. Yes, a Barbenheimer not not two different movies, one big Barbenheimer movies. In Barbenheimer, we follow scientist doll doctor Bambi J. Barbenheimer, who lives in Daltopia with her boyfriend Twink Dolman.
Doctor Barbenheimer ventures into the real world and sees the brutal treatle the dolls receive at the hands of human children. Barbenheimer decides to build a giant nuclear bomb to take it all out. Filmmaker Charles Band says, it’s an opportunity to have fun with bizarre coupling of these two movies and the combination of Barbie’s vibe in the darkness of Oppenheimer. You mix that together and you have such an opportunity for dark humor. It’s so silly, but it seems like every other feature is dark and depressing, and it’s like, augh, we need a little humor.
Going to twenty twenty five, Oppenheimer was fantastic. I haven’t seen Barbie but Oppenheimer. I loved that movie so much. It was like an old style, like seventies era movie with like a plot and characters and stuff. Highly recommended it if it ever comes out on Blu ray or digital.
Remember last week, Michael Richards was spotted at the In and Out Burger and was standing on the street with his family. Well, what do you know, Michael Richards has a new book coming out.

Jerry Seinfeld wrote the ford for the book. Richards will also reflect on his quotes Shameful two thousand and six out first film Shouting Rachel Epithets had audience members during a stand up show in Los Angeles. We’re told the incident drove him into a quote lifelong spiritual quest. In a statement, Richard says, my book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the hole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all. Jerry Seinfeld himself has extended his residency at the Beacon Theater.
He’s added some dates January twelfth and thirteenth, February second and third, March eighth and ninth performances at seven and nine thirty each night. Bill Murray may be buying the Juliet Slammers of the Frontier Baseball League.

However, the local radio station said on Wednesday night, Juliet Slammer season ticket holders were informed that Bill Murray is buying the franchise. So we’ll see.

Oh no. In the trailer, we see Kevin Hart explaining the near impossible task to his coorts and warning that the land in prison if they don’t succeed. He says, half a billion in gold is on its way to as terrorist cell. We got to steal it mid flight, forty thousand feet in the air.

Patel also appreciates TikTok for bringing him more of an audience. He says, TikTok is onto something China spying on all of us, and I don’t want the government to do anything about it. Roywood Junior was up in Halifax and said, I watched the House of Commons the other night on whatever this Canadian c span you have up here, and they’re arguing a lot of yelling going on over heating and heating costs, and I love that.
That’s how cold it is in Canada that you argue about heating costs like it’s gun control, because the cold can kill you. If you go see him in Canada and you’re expecting all political stuff, he says, I’m not nearly as political. I’m opinioned about my issues, but the stuff from the Daily Show definitely attacks issues with a much harder edge than I do on stage. Regardless, it’s four great comics show on the stage. I’m headlining, but we have Joel Nicole Johnson from the States and also Canadians Mark Elasallin, Arthur Simeons.

Gotham probably the top club. If it’s not the seller, it depends what you want. Jay Jorden’s at the Bellhouse at ten sam Jay and Keith Johnson at Chelsea at ten thirty.
And there’s a bunch of other shows you can check out at NY Comedy Festival dot com. Now, I was in New York City on Sunday. I visited all five boroughs. I didn’t see anything about the festival. New York is just too big.
It’s a great festival. You hear me calling out the names that it’s only getting as stronger as the week goes on. But like New York is just too big. It just doesn’t have a presence. Even like when they used to have JFL Chicago, it had more of a presence in the city.
It just doesn’t work here. The La Times did an article recommending some LA comedians to see. They suggested you go to see Jada Katapretta at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective at eight thirty. Kataprede is fireball entered Ghe delivers loud laughs, dancing, singing, gyrating, and serving up humor in two languages. There seems to be nothing this fiery Brazilian can’t do.

From a TikTok video shared by Anti Donna, we learned that the party will face many dangers, including a demigod and a D and D dragon with five more penises than you’d typically expect to see. So is that five or is that sick? Hmm? The D and D campaign trailer also features plenty of scenes where Anti Donna member Zach would rather be doing literally anything else.
The podcast is not over. But that part was your Daily Comedy News for today. I’m going to talk about the marathon here. So if you don’t care about the marathon at all, or if you like John shut up about it, you were dismissed, that was your comedy news. But let me talk about the marathon.
So ten years ago I did the New York City marathon, and I loved it, and I’m like, I want to do this again someday. So every year I would enter the lottery and you’d get to know and then you can tell your friends. I totally would around the marathon, but they would let me in. So I did that for about eight years, and then last year I got an email and was like balloons popped up and like confetti and it was like, hey, congratulations, You’re in. I was like, what, Oh my goodness.
So I started training again. I forgot to mention over the past ten years, I have torn the meniscus in both knees. My ortho told me stop running long distances. I’m also a beach volleyball player, which is also terrible for the knees, but I keep playing because I don’t know. I don’t want to give into age.
Somewhere along the line I did. After the meniscus tears, I did the Ruckers Half Marathon, and that race that I even completed, it meant as much to me as the first marathon did. So I kept entering the lottery and I got back in, and I was training in twenty twenty two, and I just I would get out there and I’d be months in the training and I’d be like, I can’t even run a mile. My annual physical showed that my iron level had crashed, so I got a bag. It’s kind of like getting a transplant of iron.
That fixed that. So this year I went back out and trained again and made it to the end of the training and finished the race on Sunday. So as the day goes, I know some of you are curious about it. You have to get to Staten Island. If you’re not familiar with New York City.
There are five boroughs, and stat Island’s kind of off by itself. The name will tell you it’s an island. So I took the Staten Island ferry there and it’s kind of zen. You just kind of chill and you watch New York Harbor and you can see the Statue of Liberty. It’s quite nice.
Then you make your way over to the village, which is a holding pen. The weather was perfect, so like one of the things to stress about with this particular racis am I going to be cold? Grab some water, hit the porter potty four or five seven times. Then there you are, and you’re at the foot of the Verrizonto bridge, cannon goes off, boom and here we go, and there was just something primal about running with thousands of other people. There’s just so many people.
The bridge will take you into Brooklyn, which is like, I don’t know, like an eight mile flat stretch, and I was feeling great on that one. My goal was to run a six hour marathon, which is quite slow, but I’m also fifty four years old. And at one point I caught up to the five fifteen pacer and I was like, oh wow, I’m like really doing well. When I ran it ten years ago, my final time was five nineteen, so like, I’m even near the five fifteen balloon. Now.
I knew I was going to be able to hold the five fifteen balloon for five hours, but I was like, oh, this is going well. Boom and boom. Then I needed a potty break because of the water I had drink, and you know, when you’ve got that on your mind, another eighteen miles of well I got to go to the bathroom is kind of annoying. So I took the potty break early and I never got my rhythm back, and at about the eleven mile mark, I bonked. Is the term runners use.
I found a great description this morning from the Guardian. When you bonk, your body is in a form of bodily sedation, where the mind and body have started to stop working as they usually do. You might have felt great two miles ago, but once you started bonking, it can be tough to come back. And that is what happened to me. I in the middle miles like eleven to like sixteen, I felt the closest feeling I could use is drunk.
I could tell my brain wasn’t working quite right. I just wanted to finish the race so I could go home and sleep for a week. I just like was out of it, so I just started walking really briskly. I could tell my legs, hey, can we run here? Nope, And it was just like walk walk, and I was walking at a pretty good clip.
Eventually I started grabbing some gatorades and was able to get my brain back in, but with the bank I had a gut out the last fifteen miles. It was a very long day, but I completed it and I got my medal. I did not make the six hour cut off. Little disappointing there, But on the other hand, I’m four years old. My other takeaway was the race was very loud this time.
I don’t remember it being as loud. There were a lot of bands which I remember bands last time, a lot of DJs, and everybody had their music on three hundred decibels. I run with they’re called shocks, open ear headphones, so they don’t actually sit in your ears. As somebody who’s been in radio for twenty years, I’ve seen a lot of coworkers with hearing loss. Some mois very careful with my ears.
I wear my headphones very low, even when I’m recording, like right now, I have one ear on one year off. I always watch my hearing. I don’t like when my ears ring. Ever, so these shocks had said if you’re a runner, I highly recommend them. They sit right in front of your ear and they use bone conduction and it’s amazing.
You can hear, but you can also hear the outside world, and I find it really helps with the ringing. But anyway, for the race, with the bands and the DJs, I couldn’t hear my music at all, and I don’t want to be like bro. If I could have heard my music, I would have totally crushed this and around there in three hours. I don’t. I don’t want to say that at all, but I do have especially worked out running mix for the long runs where there are songs that I love to zone out to.
Michael Jackson’s Thriller is a great running song. Genesis Home by the Sea, Second Home by the Sea great song to zone out too. Bruce Springsteen Detroit Medley is exactly at my perfect gallop. So I had the heads and phones on and I heard I think half of four different songs the entire race, like it was just so loud. Couldn’t believe how loud it was.
So, you know, I feel like the run itself not at all the time I had hoped for. But I do feel mission accomplished, and I feel unburdened now because now I can just run and I’m not beholding to a training program for the first time in two years. So it’s kind of nice. Thank you for everybody who commented on the Facebook group Daily Coming News podcast group, and I’m going to stop talking about it except during the mentions during the live read this week.

So Journey Joe Mitchell hosting Travelers Back for the winter, and I hope to pick it back up in February or March when I get back out there. All right, that’s it for today, see tomorrow.
