Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News Seth Myers with a good one. According to a new survey, half of Americans consider their car to be part of the family, while the other half don’t know what words mean. Ah. Nate Bergatzi taping his next special, All right, This is at the Footprint Center in Phoenix tonight and tomorrow.
Dmitri Martin also taping a special. He’s at the Paramount Theater in Denver, the one in Colorado. If you’re in Lincoln, Nebraska tonight, you might want to check out the professional bull riders. Larry the Cable Guy is sponsoring a very special bull ride. At the end of the event, someone will have the chance to ride Larry’s bull, mister Cooley, for a chance to win ten thousand dollars.
Right, how does this work? Larry the Cable Guy gave a statement and said, I’m super excited to be involved with the PBR and bringing the Bounty Bull to the Lincoln, Nebraska Velocity Tour event. I’ve loved the sport for many years, co owned a few great bulls, one being the two thousand and seven World Champion Bull Chicken on a chain. No, lie, we got the buckle. I want to thank PBR for bringing this event to Lincoln, where we know how to get or done when it comes to bull riding in the Cornhusker State.
I’m excited for fans of the PBR and my hometown fans to watch my bull, mister Cooley start his run at being a legend. All right. PBR Lincoln begins at seven pm Central. I see this press release says CST. That’s probably not true.
It’s probably c DT. That’s one of my pet peeves. People try too hard and they do this standard time, and it’s not standard time. It’s daylight time anyway, seven o’clock probably daylight time. Tonight, all thirty six competing bull riders will get on one bull each in round one.
Then the top ten will advance to the championship round later in the evening for one more out on a chance at the event title. When the dust settles, the winner of PBR Lincoln will then have their chance to attempt mister Kooley Cooley with a K and get. If you’re curious, if the writer reaches the requisite eight. I’m from New York City. I assume that me you stay on the bull for eight seconds.
If the rider reaches the requis at eight, he will end the ten thousand dollars Larry the Cable Guy’s Gitter dun Bounty presented by Morgan and Morgan, America’s largest injury law firm. Men’s Health spoke to Hannibal Burr’s and they were curious that. They said, you do some shows where Hannibal Burrs, the comedian opens for es U two and the musician SU two in his Hannibal’s alter ego. Is there a difference between the two, Hannibal Burr said, I think Hannibal Burs is a little dirker. The comedy has more cynicism in it along with some fun elements.
My music as a fresh energy, so it’s more exciting. I think. He then caught himself. I’m excited doing comedy too, but it’s a different thing. It’s a different level of action, expectation, and responsibility.
Doing music has helped my energy on the stand up stage two, because especially performing with my band, you have to have the energy and performance of somebody worthy of having a band or having that many mfers on stage. Because of that, my comedy is a bit more physical Now I still have my long winded stuff, but it’s tighter points. Because I like writing music. I’m trying to figure out how to say more with less and really just get the most out of a sentence. George Lopez spoke to The Gazette extra Lopez humble has always said.
When you can do stand up on the level that very few comedians have done, and then go into the sitcom, the talk show and now the show with my daughter, all things that are going good, why would he want to change anything in the mix? What about the George Lopez Taco’s business. George, we don’t hear anything about that. I think my show has always been kind of reminiscent of the backyard cookout. Now that I’m getting older, I talk about not being able to see with my mouth closed, the medicine, looking at everything that you can eat, carrying an EpiPen, and all those things that were so foreign.
But that’s how life has lived now. He said. In his early days, he didn’t have the personal touch, which is what made his jokes go next level. In the early nineties, somebody said to me, if I watched you, there’s nothing really about what you’re talking about that actually tells me anything about your personal life. If you’re married, I don’t know if you have a mom or dad, where your politics are, And George said, I thought that was a pretty good constructive criticism.
I stand up at the time. I started a look at all the stuff that was in my world and it just became the stuff that people gravitated towards. Ron Funches stars in Loot on Apple TV Plus. He spoke about his character Howard and said, Howard is pretty much me and best at playing different versions of myself with different energy levels at different parts of my life. During the pandemic, I stopped wearing hard pants.
So I was like, can Howard not wear hard pants? And they were like, yeah, absolutely. Conan O’Brien on his podcast said, Joel McHale’s running stick with me as he always gives me weapons, not guns or anything like that, but kind of an interesting steampunky weapons that you can buy on the dark web. For Conan’s sixtieth birthday, he gave me a crossbow, a real crossbow. It’s apparently a very nice crossbow.
It’s completely unassembled in the box, and so just put the box away up on the top shelf and when I say, top shelf. I’m six four. I have to stand on a box to reach this shelf and slide this box up there. So it’s way way way up on the top of this very high shelf in our garage and it’s facing the other way, so you can’t even see what it is. And it’s this box and inside it’s a disassembled crossbow.
All right, I made an executive decision to accommodate some travel. Tomorrow is going to you look at Vulture’s updated list of the best Adam Sandler movies. I have already recorded that and it came out well, so that’ll be tomorrow’s podcast, which means, let me tell you about two days worth of comedy festivals. Let’s start with moon Tower Today Saturday. At moon Tower three o’clock, Alan Ruck presents First Bueller’s Day Off.
Seven o’clock, Berbiglia seven o’clock, Bruce McCullough eight o’clock, Shane Gillis nine thirty for Bigs nine thirty Jeff Hiller, I mean Shane and to Biggs, right, can we make it from the HB Center at Cedar Park to the Paramount back to back? Who knows? This is all hypothetical so I’m gonna say, yeah, we can make it Sunday for Biggs at seven, Martin Orbroo at seven and Martin again at nine thirty. All right, maybe we should just save for Biggs. All right, let me redoce Saturday, let’s do Shane Gillis and then we’ll go see Jeff Hiller and then on Sunday we can do for Biggs and Martin.
All right, that works.
All right, let’s say who was in Melbourne.
We’re starting to get near the end of Melbourne, which she’s sad for me because I like playing these clips for you. At the end of the show. We’ve got another week of Melbourne. John, did you pre low the website? Nope?
All right, it is April fourteenth in Melbourne. Let’s see what we can find. Let’s do some with clips today. Winnie Wizard and her Magical Smells is a show for four to four hundred year olds. Kidd O Meg said her antics and mishaps will have everyone in stitches.
Weekend note says kids were laughing within seconds.
All right, let’s listen.
The show was really great. Everyone loved it. I loved it pantastic. I found the show very intrigusing. I love the kid that said I found the show very intriguing.
That’s amazing. No actual clip, just her dancing around dressed as a witch. I guess I don’t know. Let’s move. Let’s find something a little more stand up, Ejohn.
All right, let’s try Jenny Tann’s Chinese Australian A Taste of Internet Fame. Theater Matters gave it four and a half stars. Jenny’s comedic timing is impeccable and her delivery is spot on.
All right, let’s listen.
Hey guys, Hey, give me a cheer if you’re having some drinks tonight. Yes, hey, I love getting drunk with my friends, right. I love it because when you do, they get impressed by every little thing that you managed to do. Like I’d be wasted. And I could just hear them whispering in the background.
They’re like, oh my god, she can stand, Oh my god, she can walk, And I’m just like, oh my god, wait till they see me drive. I will also address my voice right like, I’m aware that my face is Chinese, but my voice makes it sound like I start fights at pubs. Yeah, I think I’d be a great telemarketer for the Pokeys. Or a great spokesperson for the casino. Because my voice attracts the bogans, my face attracts the high roller.
Is I like her a lot? She should come to the States. Fantastic. As I do this every day, I’m noticing a lot of strong women comedians in the Australian comedy scene right now, like a lot more than what I’m seeing in the American scene right now. Or maybe in the States women comedians just aren’t cutting through, or there’s no festival spotlighting them.
I don’t know what’s broken, but I feel like I’m playing a lot of women comedians from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival who are hilarious. Let’s get them up here, let’s stay one more. I liked her a lot. Jenny Tan all right, this next clip is from Josh Glance. I have watched this already.
I came back to this section here that you’re hearing to redo the intro because A I said his name wrong the first time, and B I do need to set up the clip. So so I’ll tell you the Sydney Morning Herald four stars bonkers brilliance, The Guardian four stars, a master of craze, and yeah, this is I love this clip. So he comes out and he’s dressed in a white T shirt. In non PC times, we would have called it a wife beater, you know, a standard white undershirt and a pair of shorts. He’s got a relatively hairy arms and legs, he’s got a mustache.
He’s got just a funny look to him. So when he comes out, when he first comes out here and you just hear music, he’s doing a funny dance, which made me laugh. Then he’ll get into some material, but stay with this clip. The clip is weird, but I loved it.
And now by me dance together and everybody for our next SEC’s no more any com…
Let’s do this. A question? Tell me what you think about me? First impressions? Oh weird?
Cool, that’s a compliment. A question. Tell me what’s you think about this? Intriguing? Cool?

All right, let’s get out on an eygh note. I loved him. You’re probably listening right now, going why did you just make us sit through meals for ten minutes? I’m speaking of mews on my substack, which is free mcdeepod dot substack dot com link in the notes speaking of cats sound effects. During the week, I wrote the story of the Oscar the Cat Show.
Yes, a cat had a show on Serious Comedy for about a year. Some people think it may have been a cat’s sound effects, but no, it was a cat. We had a national cat hosting so check that out substack in the link. All right, tomorrow Sandler stuff Josh clans. Wow, I’m still laughing at him.
