Caloroga Shark Media man Aaron Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Hope your holiday weekend is going well. I’m having a good one. Hitting some beach time for sure, and I’m not doing that poolside. I heard from friend of the show, Scott Beckett, who was worried that I wasn’t getting enough beach time in and I explained him it was sixty five degrees in raining until about June twentieth here in the Northeast.
But a great weekend. Hope you’re enjoying it. Like I said yesterday, it’s light, so we’ll take it a little easy this weekend. But today I will compare it to just get in the middle lane, drive sixty five, hit the cruise control, just steer and listen to the radio. That’s what we got going today, and then we’ll wrap back up tomorrow with more of a regular show.

This is the Woman of a certain age ward. The nominees are Jenna Ortega at twenty two, Dane, Helen Mirren at seventy nine, Queen Elizabeth the first Betty Boop, or Winona Rider, and they tagged on Winona Rider the age of Innocence. I’m not sure what that means. I’m gonna play it safe here. I’m just gonna go Helen Mirren looks really good in Mobland at age seventy nine, so I’m picking Helen Mirren.
Let’s move on, Like I said, Middle Lane Cruise Control sixty five. That’s what we’re doing today. Guys from Boston dot Com. They caught up with Josh Gomdoman. The discussion came up to the modern Seinfeld.
Remember that social media account, Josh explained. My friend Dan always said, and it’s true. If they had cell phones, you’d lose half the episodes, I thought, But think of all the episodes you’d gain because it’s not just we can’t just find each other in this movie theater. It’s the etiquette of using the technology. I tweeted a couple from my own account.
My friend Jacqueline was like, this could be something We started at Seinfeld today. We were both plugged in on comedy Twitter and media Twitter. It blew up overnight. We stopped doing it in twenty fifteen when we got too busy, but it was a great calling card. It opened a bunch of doors.
His favorite plotline one was something like Jerry had to break up with his girlfriend because her phone automatically connected to Newman’s WiFi. One of the earliest ones was like Elaine’s neighbor and makes his WiFi pass word an insult about her after they break up so the whole building will see it. That is pretty good, Josh said. It was one of the first things I got into where I thought, oh, this is what the grown up world is like. Obviously it’s not really, but in some ways it kind of is.
I grew up with this swarped sense of how much scheming and machination is required to be an adult, just because of how much George Coustans inform my lens on the World. I gotta get Josh on the show. He was in GQ as a Duncan clothing influencer. You’re a noted hardcore Duncan fan. Gotta talk here, Josh said, Okay, I have several pairs of dunk and adjacent sneakers.
I have to have him on now because I also have an item to tomorrow where he’s talking about adam Is Sandler movie, So right there, I could just do two topics and let him go. The ones you’re talking about where they’re collabed with Sogny for the Boston Marathon. I don’t wear them much because I could never replace them. Dude. I’ve got a pair of Jones Beach Edition Nikes the same reason.
I’d barely ever wear them, and I paid like two hundred bucks for them, but I just had to have them, and they just sit there every now and then I bust them out. Josh says, I also have a pair of new balances that have Duncan colors, not an authorized collaboration, just coffee brown with the pink and orange on the end. And I have a pair of Airmax nineties and dunkin colors they wanted sale I was like, I’m going to get a second pair of when I run through the first. Josh, do people ever give you our time about leaving Boston for New York? Josh said only once.
I was opening for John Oliver at the Wilburn twenty fourteen. I said to the crowd, it’s very meaningful for me to be here with you. This will always feel like home. I got a nice round of applause, and then I said, oh, I did move to New York City three years ago because I wanted to be happy and successful. I got boot and booed, and I said, no, you’re not allowed to boo.
You could also leave if you wanted those things. Goodwill hunting is in science fiction. I got boot and booh. My next bit got a little applause and said, no, you’re ready decided to wear against me. I don’t want your applause.
Eddie Peppertone has a new special. It is called The Collapse. It is executive produced by Patton Oswalt. It’ll be out on Veeps July seventeenth, and as a comedy album August fifteenth. Patton Oswalt says Eddie Peppettone is the Pixies of modern comedy, working class but aching for utopia, quiet and then loud, and then quiet again, willing to take the twistiest route to the most uncomfortable, hilarious truth.
His audiences don’t just laugh, they erupt in cackling disbelief that Eddie sang the things he’s saying. Chilean comedian Fabrizio Capano will have his first English language comedy special, From the Future, that One through the eight hundred Pound Guerrilla on July fourteenth. In From the Future, Capano talks about identity, fatherhood, and cultural whiplash, capturing humor in the rhymes from the immigrant experience, millennial parenting, and the absurdity of living between two cultures. Copano became a US citizen soon after completing the special and said, maybe I should make sure I can actually stay in the country. Some other stories while we’re on cruise control here.
Aaron Berg will take over as co host on the SDR Show podcast. He replaces Big Jay Ogerson. Matt Friend got a nice wax job from People magazine. Seems like the PR department at Rewards Platform built work something out for some good mentions in People. Matt was out there hawking for Built Neighborhood Comedy and said comedy shows are always the same thing to drink minimum.
There’s kind of mediocre food. You see the same kind of lineup. We wanted to create sort of a party like atmosphere, and it’s exclusively for BUILT members. The next events are July sixteenth in Brooklyn July twenty third in Chicago. They did one in December at a Brooklyn pizza spot.
Matt Friend said, Anne Hathaway and her husband were there, which was very cool. I don’t think anyone really called her out. I think she was very incognito. That was cool. People tells us the gigs have attracted folks like Marcelo Hernandez, who probably showed up and did that one thing he does really well, Mark Norman, and Roywood Junior.
Now, my Friend says, every comedian is hitting me up trying to get in on one of our shows. Matt Friend’s title is Built Director of Neighborhood Experience. He’s trying to highlight up and coming talent, he said, I mean I’m up and coming. I just turned twenty seven, so I’m young, but I’m also now in a position with bills to be able to help discover new people and bring them into this network. It’s very very cool.
Apparently John Stamos and Hank Azaria are friends. He’s quote unquote particularly close with unquote them, and they’re kind of a big mentor father figure entertainment people in my life. Let’s do this one. Since Americans probably aren’t listening today. For the Edinburgh Fringe, the Guardian looked at twenty shows to see this summer, let us pick it.
Some of the names we might know here as Yanks who aren’t listening. You’re contradicting yourself. John Jacqueline Novak is there, The Guardian writes. It’s hard to think of a stand up so indelibly associated with one hit show as Novak. But what a show?
You know? That one? It was Get on your Knees, The Guardian writer described as Get on your Knees, Blue Global and then Netflix audience is away. Okay, I see what you did there, Guardian. Now we discover what else has the New Yorker gotten her Locker Monkey Barrel is Jackie’s new show July thirtieth to August twenty third.
Michelle Wolf is over there, The Guardian writes. Not many people have landed glove on Trump and Crewe since the Donald became president Wolf did. Whether this week long fringe delivery is a political comedy or something homeler about new parenthood remains to be seen. She’ll be the Pleasant Courtyard from August eleventh through the seventeenth. Reees Darby the Legend returns his stage performances silly symphonies of antique, mime and sound.
His new show revives that stick after thirteen years to address the specter of AI. He’s also at the Pleasants Courtyard August first of the tenth. Rosie O’Donnell at the Gilded Balloon for ten days in August she will debut her recent relocation to Ireland and a bunch of other shows. You can find that on the Guardian dot com. And that is your comedy news for today.
All right, we’ll ramp things back up tomorrow as everybody gets back to work. Unfortunately, only sorry to crush your groove there. I enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. I’ll see tomorrow
