Pete Davidson has decided not to go forward with Bupkis season two. It had been renewed, but Pete says he has decided not to continue with it. In a statement, Pete said, I’ve always seen buck Gus as a window in my life, since it’s so personal about my struggles and my family. After nearly a decade if my personal life being in the media, I wanted a chance to tell my story my way.
Of all the work I’ve ever done, Bupkis is by far what I’m most proud of. So grateful to Lorne Michael’s in Broadway, Video, Peacock, Universal Television, and the amazing cast and writers for helping me create something honest, funny, and heartfelt. I do also feel that this part of my life is finished. I’m very excited for this next chapter and for you guys to see the work. Thank you to all who support me for I am forever grateful.
What do you think’s going on there? That’s weird? Right now, I’m googling Pete Davidson. I don’t see anything gossip Cornery. But here from curbed, I’m doing this on the fly.
Here the plan for Pete Davidson and Colin Jose to Staten Island Ferry.
All right, let’s read this.
I’m reading this called curved. Right three months after Colin Jost and Pete Davison bought a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry for two hundred and eighty thousand dollars, Joe stood on its deck like a triumphant captain as it was towed through New York Harbor to a temporary dock that was two years ago. Ever since, the two hundred and seventy seven foot long boat seems to have just sat and sat and sat. If you’ve ever been on the Staten Island Ferry, it’s big locals living near the Staten Island dock till the near posts. They haven’t seen anyone working on it.
Pete Davison seld reporters. They were stone when they bought the ferry and said he hopes it turns into a transformer and gets the f out of there. Colin Jost has said, is it worse that I was actually stone cold sober? On a podcast last year, writes Curb, Davidson broke character and sold Seth Myers. There was an actual plan for the boat.
Regular conference calls about its redesign and even renderings quoting Peace. We had them and do one of those computer generated show you what it could be things curved asks. But who’s them? One report on the ferry purchase named a fourth partner ron, an architect who’s worked for some companies I’ve never heard of. Doesn’t mean they’re not good.
I’ve just never heard of them. On the website for that firm, it lists the JFKA Ferry as a project they’re working on for JFK Partners, with a budget of thirty four million dollars. Thirty four million dollars. That’s not a blown autit there, I said it twice. Thirty four million dollars and a floor plan of sixty five thousand square feet thirty four million dollars.
A short video that played on his website last month showed his renderings for each floor. A top deck furnished with patio tables set with umbrellas, another floor with two rolls of hotel rooms that open on a sun decks, and a lower level with two clubs thirty four million dollars. The ferry may open with two restaurants and six bars. I mean it’s big. It’s not six bars and two restaurants big.
I don’t think. I’m not an architect. I’m not an expert. Been on the ferry. Fe so doesn’t say that big so.
Curb interviewed this guy and as what’s Pete and Collins role? He said, they have input, They see everything. We have meetings as needed, sometimes twice a week, sometimes every three months. They asked him about the six bars and two restaurants. The guy said, it’s gonna have a lot of things.
I think right now we have six bars and two venues operated separately or combined. We have an outdoor event space, We have restaurants, two restaurants. It’s a big boat, almost three hundred feet long, sixty five thousand square feet curved. Asked Pete. Davison said it would have two hotels.
Is that still happening? The guy said, it’s only one floor of hotel rooms. Twenty four rooms on the fifth floor. They have private sun decks, but no pool pool. Something keeps coming up.
We’re going back and forth. There’s a little chacuozi kind of thing, but not a full on pool. We’d have to do a floating pool. And Davison said it’s gonna go between Miami and New York City. The guy said, yeah, I think that’s exactly Still, the plan doesn’t have to be in one place.
It can move. This is amazing. All right, This is going in the Facebook group, but Daily Comedy News podcast group. If you want to read this yourself because it’s uh. I would always say it’s unbelievable, but it’s uh.
Makes me go thirty four million dollars several times watched this. I’ll be here in eight years telling you how Pete Davidson’s a billionaire from this. Ferry Triumph, the insult comic Dog, has released a special and he Triumph spoke to a Consequence of Sound. Rob Smigle, the voice and hand up Triumph’s Booty, has just released an edited version of Let’s Make a Poop, the live game show taped at San Francisco Sketch Fest. Smichael told Consequence he didn’t have as much control over the taping of the show as he would have liked.
It felt like it was the most enjoyable show had done live in like twenty years. If I had really shot him more carefully, I might have tried to sell it somewhere. I didn’t feel it was in that kind of shape, but I still think it’s worth sharing, so I decided I would share it on YouTube for free. I gotta remember to watch this this weekend. Last night my daughter had a theater show, so that killed Friday in ITV, and you know, the new baseball games out on the video game platforms.
Gotta make some time for that. Plus my phone’s exploding. I listened to all these podcasts, which pairs up nicely with playing baseball on the video game. Johnny Mack digresses. So Michael says the sketch Fest show stands out because it had this unusual dynamic of having weird Al Yankovic there and having people sing his presumed song parodies, and that played out really well live on stage, had a really hot audience and a really good time, and Rob Schneider was a funny target.
As for including Schneider, Michael says, I’m always for putting people on as long as there are no restrictions for triumph, as long as triumph can tear into the person, and I feel like a tour and a Rob Pretty well, that’s kind of the point that people you want are rich subjects. You may or may not know that Rob Schneider has gotten politically outspoken in recent years. So Michael says, there was a passketch fest and they didn’t want the particular guests. They were like, now the audience will be too upset, and I’m like, you don’t get it. The whole point hasn’t going to tear into this person.
It’ll be very satisfying. So Michael understands why people have this impulse. Everything is so heightened down. People don’t even want to give platforms to dot dot dot. The word normalized is a very popular word.
Now. I had to take my sweatshirt off. It’s five trillion degrees in the basement today. I don’t know why it’s cold out. So Michael says, there is a class person that I wouldn’t give a platform too, even to make fun.
People that I feel are like grifters and are saying things they don’t even necessarily means they’re saying it to cultivate a certain audience. I didn’t feel like Rob Schneider fell into that category, but there are people that do, and I wouldn’t interact with them, even as Triumph. I’d just be like, nah, I don’t want to get anything out of this. I don’t want you to come away feeling like you got exposure credit for laughing yourself. They’re not doing it in a funny way like Triumph might do.
They’re not entertaining. Some of them think they are, but they’re not really funny enough to justify that. They’re just fanning the flames of paranoia and anger. I wonder who he means, Like seriously, wonder who he means. He did want to have on commentator Ben Shapiro.
Triumph would have had a field day with Ben Shapiro. I don’t know if San Francisco’s audience it’ll let me do it. But I like putting people out and ridiculing them if they’re willing to take it. And I feel like that guy has always been consistent, least he feels like he genuinely subscribes to what he says. That’s a lot more tolerable to me, a lot of people find him obnoxious, but he tries to speak intelligently.
Smichael says, now this interview is going to be like Smichel defends Ben Shapiro. Rolling Stone tagged on and said, triumphast if he could perform some of his favorite weird house boofs, only he delivered some whole there is dumb, half baked ones. Al definitely didn’t write one dumplings, said to bon chovis wanted dead or alive. Another mud slide, a take on Fleetwood, Max Lan slide about fast casual takeout and bowel movements. Triumph pretended weird.
Al wrote numerous parodies of green Day’s Good Riddance, one being about being confused by cream cheese with chives, one about cutting a cantelope with a plastic knife, one about a flight attendant explaining how a seat works as a flotation device, and one about not getting Paul Thomas Anderson’s inherent vice this is fun and I forgot I pulled the clip. Let’s listen, Michael winso Man is amazing. Michael Winslow can reproduce any sound except for a casting director saying you got the part notable for twenty Please know the bulls for twenty Okay, Republicans in twenty six states have been working to outlaw this act that many conservatives consider immoral. What is voting Okay? During the game show Puperty, which you just heard twice, the game required audio clues to answer questions about who wrote famous pop parodies of songs by Rim and Lona del Rey.
Thomas Lennon came out first, delivering a version of losing my religion about purchasing per Simmons, sam or Ruffin tackle, the latter turning summertime status into a tune about watching tennis. Great Pete Sampras close it out. Triumph got weird Alu himself to perform a duet of one of the fake songs, a spoof of Chandelier about wanting to binge old sitcoms, the chorus, I want to watch mister Belvedere love it Wow long again. Today there’s just been so much news. I just bumped five stories.
We’ve got plenty of other days. We can get to things on your HBO Max Max HBO Max Tonight, Romi yousef more Feelings. Rommi will offer his unique reflections on our divided world. The unexpected perils of charitable giving and more, including the twenty twenty four presidential election, the importance of prayer, and a childhood book report that changed the course of his life. Before October seventh, Romy says he was touring an hour long set that included a story about going home with a woman and finding out she had and Israeli flag on the wall.
He says, I’m horny, so I’m trying to justify it. That’s the star of David, that’s their logo. It’s just Jewish big Post October seventh, he didn’t have to throw everything out and start over, but he knew he’d have to write about it after friends started reaching out. October tenth, they get a call from a guy. I know, yo, bro, where are you at with Hamas?
Yusef is defiant? Where I’m at? Are we effing you think any of us like what happened? We hate seeing people die. It made me cry.
His punchline spoiler, you know me? You think I’m Jumas, bro, I’m a Taliman. Guy talked about people asking him about Israel and Hamas and he said, let’s be real, at the bottom of the question. The bottom of the question is you think I’m out like this, you think there’s a chance. I think terrorism’s cool.
And he was asked, was the punchline always Taliban? He said, we tried Bocoharram, but their brand isn’t strong enough to get the pop or the laugh you want. The interviewer was like, wait really, Robbi said no, it was always Taliban. That’s not the kind of joke you can workshop with a bunch of Arabs, though, because at a certain point someone non Arab shows up and goes, what are you guys talking about? The joke in of itself creates the problem you’re trying to avoid.
The New Indian Express was curious about in the special, did somebody from Joe Biden’s campaign really reach out to you in twenty twenty? Romy said, yeah, itIt a zoom. I mean they’re nice people, by the way, like they’re really good and I think, you know, obviously in the special, it’s kind of fun to play with those situations. We’ren’t a really interesting predicament where it’s kind of like, hey, you sure you want to complain about Biden because Trump is worse?
And then it’s kind of like, all right, you know that’s kind of textbook abuse…
And you say, Okay, I thought we’re in a democracy, or aren’t we supposed to kind of question it and poke at it.
And then I’m feeling an interesting thing where we’re kind of voicing what I …
Here he was asked about Taylor Swift coming to see one of his shows, and he said, I mean she was like person of the Year. It kind of becomes this huge talking point or whatever. I’ve kind of a throw away joke about it. Watch out, be careful here, let’s listen to what the throw away joke might be. Says.
For the most part, it’s like we just met, you know, Like she was a big fan of the movie Poor Things. Boy, She’s gonna be mad at that joke. So I don’t know if that’s gonna say, but she’s a really cool person. All Right, that’s long enough for today’s mura. It’s gonna be long too, because I could tell you have any stories I just bumped.
That’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. Come back tomorrow. It’ll be robust to see you here.
