Caloroga Shark Media. I’m actually recording this one Friday, about an hour after the earthquake. Boy, that was fun. Hi, I’m Johnny Maack with your Daily Comedy News Sammarill Tweed did iPhone sending you the earthquake alert an hour after? It makes me think we’re getting these zumber alerts once the car has already left town.
I know you West Coasters are like four to eight, really relaxed. Hey, it was a big deal here in the basement, New Jersey. I was actually in a CBS parking lot and I was like, huh, that was a strong gust of wind.
And then the strong gust of wind went on for I don’t know thirty five seconds…
And then my kids started texting me. I had the late bot write some jokes, like the quake was initially mistaken for Chris Christy jumping into the presidential race. The earthquake was so weak he was immediately offered a spot on the Jets roster. New Jersey ins were surprised to feel the ground shake. Usually the only thing shaking in New Jersey is someone’s fist at another driver, So the earthquake kept us busy.
We put out a bonus episode of five daily trivia questions about the earthquake and a bonus episode of Monsters, Sharks and Dinosaurs talking about the various earthquake movies. Check those out where you get your podcasts. All that made me go back on Twitter, and lucky for me, I saw Jim Gaffigan tweeted something now maybe perhaps possibly, but I doubt it. Jim Gaffigan saw the title of Friday’s episode about has Bourbon sucked the comedy out of Jim Gaffigan and Jim has rebounded. I hit click on this video and at first I was like, oh, the Bourbon has sucked all the fun out of Jim Gaffigan.
But if I give it the full two minutes, this was actually pretty funny. He must have called in every favor in the book except Jerry Seinfeld, who must have said no. In this video, some of the voices are Joe Buck, Conan O’Brien, John Hamm and the woman you hear at one minute twenty seven, Sarah Cooper. You know Sarah Cooper. People get mad at me when I say this.
Gez’s famous for PANTOMI iman to Donald Trump on TikTok. Don’t get mad at me. That’s what she’s famous for. Anyway, Let’s listen to Jim Gaffigan, who somehow pulls the funny out here after a bad start. Hi, it’s Jim Gaffigan, the founder of father Time Bourbon.
I guess you could say I’m the father of father Time Bourbon. I guarantee you it’s good bourbon. Now, all you have to do is be twenty one and you could be drinking father Time Bourbon. I’m sure you probably have some other questions. How old do you have to be to buy father Time?
Well, you have to be twenty one. I’m over the age of twenty one. Can I Can I still buy father Time? Yes? Twenty one is twenty one or over?
Yeah? I’ve been told that I look like a teenager, So can I pre order father Time? It’s like buying alcohol in any other part of the United States? You just have to be twenty one or older. Why do you need to know my age?
I don’t want to know your age. I’m not a father. Can I buy father Time? Oh? That well, that’s just the name of the bourbon.
I’m a father. I have five children, so it’s a against mothers. Why would you be anti mother? It’s not anti mother? What did you call me?
I didn’t call you anything. It seems like if you wanted people to buy your scotch, you wouldn’t be so hostile. Well, I wasn’t intending to be hostile. And it’s not a scotch. You’re also sailing a scotch.
Do I have to be twenty one to buy the scotch? It’s bourbon, not scotch. I’d like to buy Father Time Bourbon, but I’m not a fan of your comedy. Can I still buy it? Well?
Do you know if any good can beans who are releasing a scotch or a bourbon? If you’d like to buy father Time Bourbon, you can always follow the link below or go to father Time dash bourbon dot com. Thank you. The Atlantic with this headline is theovon the next Joe Rogan whoa whoa tap? The breaks the Atlantic rights.
Someone is talking to you? Where is he talking to himself? A deep, spacey voice with pondering pauses and a resinous Louisiana accent. There’s this trick. The voice says, that’s the devil out there.
Your whole life goes on You’ll think, Oh, I’ll just keep judging, keeping people at a distance. But then I get to the end of my life and I realize, you know what, I didn’t win anything by doing that. That was a trick, and the only thing I won was being alone. The Atlantic points out Vaughan’s This Past Weekend podcast is huge, currently the eighth most popular podcast in America. Sandwich between This American Life and The Ben Shapiro Show.
Number one is Rogan. Vaughn has been on Rogan Show multiple times while This Past week and is fully inside the Rogan algorithm. We’re taking of the same vibe of heady masculinity and unsanctioned speech, tapping the same world of canceled professors, polar plungers, hungover stand ups, supplements salesmen, moonlighting mystics, grifting neuroscientists, and gleaming mixed martial arts warriors. It’s also different. The Atlantic tells us Theodore Capitani von Kurnatowski, the third did not know that grew up in Covington, Louisiana and showbiz Why’s it came up?
The hard way? Multiple seasons on MTV’s reality series road Rules and its spin offs, Gigs hosting an online TV recap show, a hidden camera show, a lot of stand up, including an appearance on Last Comic Standing. Vaughn, at forty four, has grown into himself. Kevin Neelan, on his YouTube show Hiking with Kevin, asked Vaughan back in twenty nineteen about his accent. Vaughn said, for a long time, I tried to pretend like I didn’t have one because I was trying to fit in.
That was the devil’s decoy right there. The Atlantic explains that theo Vaughn will interview quote unquote regular people, a mortician, a plumber, a female truck. How to describe the experience of listening to him, Riff, it’s fast and slow. You’re caught in a sort of languiditly blooming stonery revelation. Say that five times fast.
I got it on the first take, sort of, but with brilliant scintillas of poetry zipping around a light speed in the foreground. The Atlantic rights, and I agree with this with Vaughn. I went on a bit of a journey. His two Netflix comedy specials, Regular People in No Offense left me cold. Yeah, I agree.
Stalking around with that twangy stand up energy, overdoing his accent and making jokes about Denny’s waitresses being ugly. I wasn’t into it. I didn’t laugh. Then, as I got deeper into this past weekend, its hazy backwoods conservatism swam in a view I had a political panic. I said to myself, theo’s a shill, He’s a sinister victor of reactionary bs.
He’s a license fool in the court of Steve benn And. But this I decided as a category error. When Vaughn is on, He’s unstoppable. His recent conversation two hour improv Jack with Tim Dillon is so hilarious, such a flaming, atrocious summit of the American absurd. I had to pull my car over and sit there weeping with laughter and relief.
I think I will listen to that on Monday. I’m planning on doing a Eclipse related drive. I’ve had that in my cue at, just haven’t had the two hours to listen to it. Anyway, that’s in the Atlantic. A good profile.
Deals podcast is good, and like I’ve said about a few podcasts recently, I might not agree with everything he says, but I’m a free thinker. I can listen to a guest and go, well, that’s nonsense. But I also he’s easy on the years. I take in a lot of things. I listen to a lot of podcasts.
Like I said, my dog is sixteen and a half and I’ve been sleeping in the basement with her because she gets up every four hours and wakes up the rest of the family. So I just take one for the team. So we’re up. We’re up at midnight. We’re up again at four.
Johnny mackets some insomnia, stares at the ceiling, goes all right. Time to listen to some podcasts from the pitch k c Adam caton Holland. He’s from Denver and he’s telling a Kansas city what to expect when pot shops open up there. This was pretty good, he said, pot shop names, they’re going to be so dumb, just the worst puns imaginable, with terrible fonts and lazy graphics, Kansas sticky k C keefs. If you can think of it, someone else will it.
With a pot leaf. Try to patronize ones that have the word relief in the title. Reward the ones that are at least trying to be professional. Hopefully, in turn, they’ll reward you by not blasting DM. Every zip stuff who sold drugs in high school is going to get in another pot game.
They’re gonna call themselves guentrepreneurs, and they’re going to refer to marijuana’s flower. And you’re gonna want to roll your eyes so hard that they fall out of your head. If you’ve been squirreling away money for your kids college funds, stop right now, take it out and buy a warehouse. That warehouse will eventually be more valuable than any education. The secret is out on Kansas City.
No one could afford a warehouse, even in the worst neighborhoods. You think it’s expensive, now check back in ten years. Gross space is everything. Every part of Denver that was one stabby is now full of crow houses and utterly frivolous commerce and beautiful idiots vaping. Had my dad for gone my college fund to buy me a warehouse, I wouldn’t have to write ridiculous one hundred and one drug screeds in the pitch.
I would just stop at my warehouse, mopping sweat away from my brow. Short Old gave Hannah Gadsby’s woof four out of five hannahs performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Chortle says it’s easier to define Hannah Gasby’s latest show by what it isn’t rather than by what it is. That maybe because the comic lost faith and what they were planning at the last minute, and advisedly so, if their description of the barber streisand obsessed hours anything to go by, and is now left with a looser collection of routines orbiting around the comedian’s anxieties. Woof is not a laser focused gunreanch of a show like Ninette?
How could it be? By placing limits on what they’re prepared to talk about on stage, showing the comics usual stubborn defiance when it comes to what’s expected them is why the show is missing the ending. Yet, even an incomplete Gasby show knocks the socks off many of their contemporaries, and Woof offers this stingingly funny assembly of typically smart, opinionated and iconoclastic routines. Lot of big words on the podcast today and all the things praying on the comic’s mind, which may or may not have contributed to the aforementioned panic attack at an ice cream shack. Oh, whoa, this isn’t a setup here.
I just was like, all right, let me skim through the rest of this article, and the word Swift caught my eye. Uh oh, let’s read this. Hannah’s disdained for the Barbie film. Putting rampant commercialism in a feminist rapping is to be expected, though more controversial is confessing to not getting the peel of Taylor Swift. Gatsby’s analogy dismissing Swift was oddly specific and devastatingly accurate, showing the comics writing to be as sharp and as defined as ever, but occasionally poetic too.
Boy. You know, if I were Hannah, I would be worried because you don’t want to make fun of Taylor Swift. One time Joe Coy made fun of Taylor Swift and it was vicious. Here, let’s listen, a big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift.
I love that joke. You guys think of this joke yet I love that joke so much. Oh boy, Joe Coy, that was so mean. So Hannah Gadsby’s about to be canceled by the Swifties. We’ll see if Taylor murders Hannah Gadsby’s career the way she may have.
I don’t know for a fact, but she may have possibly murdered dree A Cooy’s career. Let’s see who was at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, John, did you preload the website? Of course not. Let’s see Monday the eighth. This one says it as a clip, Nina Oyama is coming.
Ed you title there. Nina is a thirty year old comedian who doesn’t really know what she’s doing or where she’s going, but one thing is for certain, she is coming. Smiley face emoticon Jordles says a natural comedy. Well, let’s listen. I suspect this is gonna be a little naughty and I’m gonna have to make some minutes, but let’s listen.
My name’s Nina, by the way, lovely to meet you all. Nina. I like to say, it’s easy to spell spelled the same as the Lin Nina weather effect. You know, I’m just like the La Nina effect. I too, am warm and wet and I’ll ruin your party if you couldn’t tell from my entire situation.
I’m gay, Hi, I like to say. I like to think that I’m like so gay. I’m like three kinds of gay right, Like, I’m like the normal type of gay, which means homosexual, I’m the Christmas type of gay, which means happy, and then I’m the derogatory playground of gay, which means I’m kind of really annoying. I don’t know, I liked it. I’m probably technically like a bisexual or whatever.
I kind of like to think of my sexuality as like a pasta strainer, Like most of the time it keeps the spaghetti at bay, but occasionally a noodle will slip through. Well, what do you think? Do I tell you what I think? I’m just gonna observe. That’s the clip she chews.
Sashi Perreira’s show is called Boundaries. Let’s listen. My top news is that I finally got to go on my honeymoon. Yeah. We eloped three lockdowns ago, so it was very exciting.
We went to Fiji, anyone being yes, Fiji friends for everyone else. Amazing country. Weird incoming passenger declaration form, you know the form you feel out on the plane and it’s like Are you carrying any plants? Are you carrying any drugs? This one said, are you carrying any holy water?
Which I think might be the easiest substance to get through customs because it looks so much like normal water. What are they gonna do if you take no? Just at this image of like Fijian border security officials just flicking suspected holy water at each other just to see if like a miracle happens. They can be like aha, gota and what happened for them to put that on the form Fijian border security briefing, just being like someone keep surprised baptizing us. It’s got to stop, okay, says the guy recording a podcast in the basement.
I think the premise is good there. I think there’s something to be done with TSA and holy water, et cetera, et cetera. But I don’t want to be nate. I’ve tried any supportive. But like you listened, how hard are you laughing right now?
These are the showcased clips. I don’t know. Move on. John Mindy Kaling is returning to Hulu with a new comedy, this one called murray Hill. Hulu gave it a straight to series order.
It’s about New York City friends navigating their careers and personal lives. There’s an original premise, new York City friends navigating their careers and personal lives? Where did you come up with that one? Mindy Kayling John, you’re so negative today, but listen to how original this is. Five work obsessed twenty somethings strive for professional success and if they have time, personal happiness in Manhattan.
Mm hmm. Have you ever seen a show like that? I haven’t. And here’s another one that has me scratching my head while I’m being captain negative, an animated version of Good Times. You know, Good Times?
JJ Walker Dyno mighte that it’s back, except it’s a cartoon for some reason. The cast includes JB. Smooth of Vet, Nicole Brown, Jay Farrow, and some others. But my question is why I’ll scroll through the news here to see if I have anything positive? So you’re not like, what is this podcast?
This guy’s a jerk? I don’t have one for Oh wait, here’s one. Politico was suggesting that no labels take a look at some alternative political candidates. They said an option might be Dave Chappelle. Dave’s got a taste of the cultural wars and liked it enough to keep at it.
A former Andrew Yank supporter, Chappelle’s an eclectic ideological profile and a developed sensibility about the grievances that animate a range of disaffected Americans, including what he calls the poor whites who vote for Trump. Is Chappelle weird and controversial? Yes? And yes. Has that been an obstacle to entertainers in other countries?
It has been an obvious advantage when Americans really elect someone who tells stories about hanging out with strippers, mox, trans people, and people with disabilities, offends Jewish voters and makes excuses for Bill Cosby. They wrote, check who’s currently leading of the twenty four election. Send your letters to Politico, not Johnny Mack. This hell last third year is a disaster. I’m wrapping up.
