The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mac with your daily comedy and who’s pretty robust Off the holiday weekend. If you missed it, there’s a new Tom Segora special on Netflix and a fun headline I saw on Tom Segora Twitter said Tom Sagora says Groth Brooks finally blocked him on Instagram and doesn’t like the serial killer jokes, And I was like, okay, what’s this that took me to Whiskey Riff. By the way, do not click on Whiskey Riff dot com unless you love pop up ads covering the article you’re trying to read. I get the monetization, folks, but I couldn’t even read the article.
Here’s the backstory. You may have noticed that all of Garth Brooks social media posts, especially on Instagram, are littered with comments asking him a rather peculiar question. It all started back in October twenty eighteen, when Garth announced his stadium tour. Tom Segora brought up a conspiracy theory in which people believe that Gorthbrook stadium tours often align with missing people cases that appear across several cities in the United States. Sagora is on with theel Vaughan who said people are saying I’m trolling the guy.
All I’m doing is repeating what I’ve heard that allegedly his tour schedule aligns with Duzen and missing persons. On his own podcast, Segora has alleged, let me quote it here, We’ve been really, really on one with Garth Brooks the last few weeks or months. Really what he’s thinking about is all the bodies he’s got stacked in graves in his yard. For sure, he’s probably killed two hundred to three hundred people in his life. The hosts continue to troll Garth Brooks with serial killer jokes and included segments in their show like Garth Brooks sucks, what’s wrong with Garth?
Groth’s beard looks insane? And most notably, where are the bodies Garth? Then they found there’s a gym in the UK named Garth’s Gym Future Bodies. Although sports Gidia points out in Daily Comedy News would also like to point out the theory seems to be a coincidence. No news outlet has reported on Garth Brooks being involved in any missing persons cases.
I don’t believe he’s a serial killer at all. In fact, I’ll declare that he’s definitely not and there are no investigations into Garth Brooks being a serial killer. Segura has confirmed that he’s been blocked by Brooks, telling THEO Von first, I got worried about a year ago from a one hundred percent reliable source. I was like, does he know, and they’re like, ah, yeah, he knows. And I was like, is he upset?
And they’re like, he just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t know why you’re talking about him. Then recently he blocked me on Instagram and I was like, oh, he finally blocked me for a couple of years. Sagora was not actually blocked by Garth on Instagram. He was just restricted, whatever that means, even though most of the comments Garth gets on any post are asking where the bodies are.
John Mulaney was on the Hot Ones podcast, and he can handle spicy food. He gave some harsh notes to a hot sauce called de bomb. Mulaney said, it’s not good. It’s not good food. Do you understand it doesn’t make food better.
I’m not trying to damage their business. Not a good product. Later in the interview, we talked about being a dad and said when he was a kid. Here’s the problem with goldfish, especially if you’re like taking care of people, you want to feed them more, but you’re not supposed to. There’s only one thing I can ever give you, goldfish, and I gave it to you ready today.
But you’re still there. And I want you to like me, and I want you to tell the other fish that I’m a good guy. So I’d love to feed you again and again and again kill him with kindness. A scary moment for Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias. His plane ran off the runway on Friday.
His private plane was attempting the land at Western Carolina Regional Airport around one o’clock Friday. The Guldstream four ended up on the grass about six hundred feet past the end of the runway. Gabe on Twitter set everybody is okay, but shaking up, happy to be alive. Here’s a weird one. What are you up to?
Amy Schumer? Amy Schumer dropped in virtually to commend the cast of Joyride. They were doing a press jacket and suddenly Amy Schumer’s on and says, Hi, this is Amy Schumer from I Love Joyride Dot com She went on to say that she loved the movie so much, the cast, everyone involved. I can’t tell you how much I love this movie and how much I needed it. It’s my girl friend.
Everyone Comedy of the Summer, you guys rock. I’ve been doing this while something’s up there. We’ll see what happens there. Joel mchael says Donald Glover is indeed returning for the Community Movie. This is a lot of news off of four day weekend, right, Yeah, not scraping the barrel at all today.
Donald Glover will be in the Community Movie. According to Joel mcchall, Chip Chase will not. Peacock has yet who officially confirmed Donald Glover’s involvement, but Joel was on Kelly Ripp’s podcast said Donald’s coming back, and that’s really important. The fact that Donald’s going to do it. That was the big piece.
But I think everyone’s coming back. I mean, so far, we’re pretty good, and I think it’ll happen. If not, then you know, Donald’ll be there. See it’ll just be Donald. It’ll just be in an episode of Atlanta, all right by everyone?
Does that include Chevy Chase? Michael said, yeah, I don’t think so. There weren’t any issues at all when we were making the show. Vulture reviewed Alex Edelman’s new show Just for Us. That’s the show built around Alex’s experiences at a white supremacist meeting.
Spoilers here. Once he arrives, he gets distracted by the fact that the meetings being held in an apartment full of completed framed jigsaw puzzles. The members of the meeting even have a spread of whites only muffins and orange juice. He starts his show by bringing its scale all the way down. He launches into a riff about a gorilla’s friendship with Robin Williams sentence, I didn’t expect to say even gorillas were like this guy is unbelievable, and contrasted williams nearly universal appeal with his own specific appeal, saying, my comedy barely works if you’re not a jew from the Upper East Side.
Vulture points out, as most audiences will know going in, this is a show about a Jewish comedian who ended up going to a white nationalist meeting. So why are we starting by imitating a zookeeper describing celebrity deaths and sign language? Because Edelman’s opening gambit reveals itself to be kennily constructed. He pulls the audience close with the self deprecation and then destabilizes the dynamic. He turns things around and makes the show all about his need as a comedian to appease, which reacts nauseatingly when it comes in contact with Nazis.
Genre Wise, Just for Us lies in the growing niche of solo performances that falls somewhere between storytelling and stand up in the vein of Mike Bibiglia’s ventures. Burbiglia is a producer on Just for Us. Josh Gadd gave an update on the Honey I Shrunk the Kids franchise and how you were like, hey, where’s the new Honey I Shrunk the Kids movie? Well, it was announced back in twenty twenty. Rick Moranis was going to reprise his role as scientist Wayne Zelenski, but we haven’t heard much.
Josh Gadd went on Twitter and he said, a lot of you are asking me what’s going on with this film? Were they really okay? True? It is we were inchest from starting and then COVID hit inchest from starting again, and then my schedule exploded with conflicts inchest from starting again, and budget got the best of us. If you want it, let your local Disney know.

A comedian has filed a copyright lawsuit over the stand up series Live at the Moth Club. Comedian Harry Dean’s Way is suing Steve Coogan’s production company over a series called Live at the Moth Club, which he claims rips off his YouTube show Shambles. In the filing, Shambles is described as a sitcom centered around a live comedy night at a Rundown club. Struggling to make ends meets The show blends fact in fiction by combining a sitcom set behind the scenes of a club with real comedy performances in front of a live audience. The lawsuit says Live at the Moth Club is kind of similar to Shambles, including the setting, the format, and characters such as a shambolic promoter.
He also claims a number of jokes are ripped off, including one about the lights of the club not working and another in which an intern ends up writing material for one of the comedians. A spokesperson on Coogan’s side said, we strongly refute this claim, which has no legal merit and entre comedy news for Today.
