Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I needed to accommodate my travels, so I thought would take a look at Vulture is updated what is the best Adam Sailor movie?

And then they followed up with what is an Adam Sailor movie?

This is by Jesse David Fox, last updated in March. I’ll go first. The best Adam Sadlor movie is clearly uncut. Gems Hustle, the basketball one is second, fifty First Dates is probably third. Wedding singer isn’t bad, the one with the alien he just did, surprisingly not horrible.

Everything else garbage, all right. Vulture starts with number forty seven. There are forty seven Adam Sandler films. You kidding me? This tier is called the bottom.

Nineteen eighty Nine’s Going Overboard Adam’s first movie, if you can even call it a movie, Wilt writes to put it mildly, Sailor’s first film, released a year after graduated from NYU, is an unwatchable piece of crap. Not only is the film amateurish, the crew forgot to bring the box of lenses, so the cinematographer was forced to shoot with the wrong equipment. Sandler’s performance is hardly a diamond in the rough. It’s just rough. What is this calling it?

I want to watch this going overboarder right forty six. The Cobbler twenty fourteen Adams’s worst collaboration with an acclaimed director. What was the Cobbler? After losing his father, a New York cobbler decides to get his life together and tries to find his purpose by magically turning into his customers, which he does by literally walking in their shoes Cheese Bulletproof from nineteen ninety six What Is This? When Damon Wayns hosted SNL in nineteen ninety four, Sandler suggested that they do an action comedy together.

Wayn’s a charming, competent undercover cup and Sandler is a sweet, dim, small time crook who turns on the kingpin slash comedic foil. You know, I’m more interested in this worse tier than even talking about the movies that some people like for some inexplicable reason. At least we can all agree these are terrible. Number forty four Pixels from twenty fifteen, subheading At some point, you get too old to play a Manchild forty three, The Longest Yard from two thousand and five. You know, I don’t hate that one.

I got to remember to add that one to my top tier of Sandler’s. Obviously, the Burt Reynolds one is light ears better. It would be like comparing this podcast we’re listening to today to whatever. The best episode of Late Night with David Letterman NBC version was like, it would be comparing that to that. But I don’t hate the Longest Yard.

They wrote. It feels more like a Vince Vaughn movie that Sandler ended up making simply because he likes sports. Number forty two Just go with It from twenty eleven. Jennifer Aniston in this one, I have no memory of that. Sandler plays a successful plastic surgeon and Jennifer Aniston his assistant.

Forty one Mister Deed’s from two thousand and two. Though the film oddly lacks much Sandler, it does reveal a lot about what’s important to him. Well, I like this review. If you don’t like Adam Sandler, Deed’s is a more watchable movie than many of the films ranked above it. That’s because there’s little Adam Sandler in it.

Oh, I might have to watch this now, Winona writer. Isn’t this thing all right? Then? Maybe I’ll check that one out. Number forty I now pronounce you, Chuck and Larry.

Can we cancel Adam Sandler for making this movie? Vulture rights. This movie sucks and Sandlor sucks in it. Number thirty nine, Men, women and Children from twenty fourteen. I don’t remember this either.

Sandler and Rosemary de Witt, a married couple who each use different parts of the Internet to find people to have affairs with, is absolutely lovely Walture Wrights. I wish director Jason Rightman had just released a short film of their twenty minutes. Specifically, the film includes two of the best dramatic scenes of Sandler’s career. The first is his interaction with the sex worker. I don’t want to see that.

Thirty eight Airheads nineteen ninety four, the first time Sandler’s charm have found its way to the big screen. Thirty seven Bedtime Stories two thousand and eight. I don’t remember that either. I’m reading the paragraphs here. I don’t even know what this movie is about.

Sandler gets to play stupid little character is like a stupid night, a stupid Cowboy and a stupid Spaceman? Isn’t that his entire film resume? All right? New tier, watchable but flawed? Thirty six Rain Over Me.

I don’t remember this either. From two thousand and seven, Sandler plays CHUIRLEYE, the PTSD suffering New Yorker who lost his wife and children. On nine to eleven, The audio got corrupted here? Thirty five is Spaceman? That movie’s okay?

Thirty four Grown Ups from twenty ten busyness gets in the way the fun of seeing friends hang out? Thirty three The Ridiculous six. Vulture writes at this point every movie from here on out I would recommend to a person. Depending on the person, watch high. It’s essentially if the fourteen from Blazing Saddles was an entire movie.

That’s kind of how I feel about Sandler’s films. Thirty two That’s My Boy twenty fourteen, another movie in which Adam Sandler’s character is stuck in his sense of arrested development because of a traumatic experience. Thirty one The do Over from twenty sixteen, What was this? At one point, Sandler gives one of his own f is a favor, then he brings another one of his fingers into the action and gives it a favor. That’s all I need to know about that movie.

Thirty Blended from twenty fourteen, one of the most and least mature of Sandler’s movies, writes Vulture. The maturity is surrounded by some of the absolute worst jokes in any Adam Sandler movie. Now, that’s a pretty high bar for horribleness. Multiple scenes have some side character turning a camera and saying some incredibly hacky line like this stuff just got reel. Twenty nine is Murder Mystery from twenty nineteen Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler.

That’s Netflix enabling Adam Sandler to make terrible films. Twenty eight Murder Mystery two Again, I blame you Netflix, twenty seven Little Nikki from two thousand culture rates ahead of a time movie, and not always in a good way. By two thousand, Adam Sandler was on a roll. Billy Madison began Happy Gilmore. From there he stepped it up.

Made some more money with wedding Singer than Bam the water Boy one hundred and eighty five million dollars worldwide, Big Daddy two hundred and thirty four million, worldwide. What did he use his new found comedy superstardom to do make Little Nikki twenty six Spanglish from two thousand and four. I have no memory whatsoever of this. I’ve read the paragraphs. I have no idea what spanglish is about.

Twenty five Hustle, all right, I like that one. That’s the basketball movie twenty four Jack and Jill. How can you have Jack and Jill ahead of Hustle? My kids, who are now growing up, laughed that I actually banned them from watching this film. All right, that’s the end of the second tier.

Let me take the break here and we’ll come back and we’ll look at, you know, the good Adam Sailor movies. Continuing with vultures. Look at the best Adam Sandler movies. We’re up to their tier, which is called so good. Twenty three, twenty two and twenty one are the three Hotel Transylvanias.

Twenty is Leo. That’s the recent cartoon right nineteen is you are so not Invited to my bot mitzvah, which you know, after extreme casting calls, they look for the best actors and actresses in the world old only all happen to be members of Adam Sandler’s family. Eighteen Hubie Halloween, Netflix, What are you doing to us? Man? Uh?

Seventeen Anger Management from two thousand and three, Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler. You know on paper that should be okay, I guess. Sixteen The Meerwitz Stories from twenty seventeen. Welch writes, will Adam Sandler went in oscar one day watching the Meyerwitz Stories, it sure seems possible. I could see Adam Sandler winning an Oscar because again, I watch things like Uncut Gems and I’m like, you can do it, you just choose not to.

And if Netflix is gonna pay him zillions of dollars for the crap that somebody’s watching, sure, I don’t blame you, Adam Sandler. I really don’t. I just hate your movies. Fifteen Grown Ups two, fourteen, eight Crazy Nights, thirteen, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, twelve, Uncut Gems, Oh twelve. Now I like this subheading, in which he uses all the tools in his acting belt to condemn the idea of Adam Sandler.

Maybe that’s why I love this movie. Eleven Sandy Wexler from twenty seventeen I don’t remember what is that? Sandler plays a manager of Misfit Toys, loosely based on his real life manager, Sandy, So the plot is just him going from one of his friends to the next and laughing in the ridiculous characters they’re doing. Adding the insterstitials featuring more of Sandler’s friends Janine Garoffalo, Judd Appatel, Henry Winkler, Lawn Michaels politely roasting Sandy. The result is the sweetest movie of Sandler’s career that sounds like garbage.

All right, we’re up to the top tier. According to Vulture. Here at number ten, they have fifty first dates. Again, if you want to save an Adam Sandler movie, you put Drew Barrymore in it. Nine Happy Gilmore.

You guys like it? I don’t eight Funny People. Critics suggests the sand Man was just playing himself. Seven The Week of I don’t remember from twenty eighteen? What was this?

A movie in which Adam Sandler plays a father whose daughter is marrying Chris Rock’s son. I have no memory of this. Six The Boy Adam Sandlor at his funniest Five Big Daddy Adam Sensitive side breaks through four Billy Madison, Sandler tries to show his generation how to grow up three Punch Drunk Love. Punch Drunk Love is special because it’s an attempt to actually make an Adam Sandler movie, allowing us to see them through Paul Thomas Anderson’s eyes. The elements of there manchild failing to thrive, a more emotionally mature love interest who helps give him something to shoot for.

Daddy issues a bully. Hell. This film might have even introduced Sandler to the idea of building a vacation in Hawaii into the shooting schedule. All Right, the second best Adam Sandler movie of all time the Wedding Singer. All Right, if we’re gonna rank Adam Sandler movies, I can’t hate on that choice.

So what’s the number one Adam Sandler movie of all time? Click? They’re right, the best quote unquote Adam Sandlor movie. All Right, I’m curious, Walter Wright says, I noted any intro. This piece is predicated on a fundamental distinction.

This is a list of the best Adam Sandler movies, not Adam Sandler’s best movies. I see these things are not one and the same. The latter would suggest a universal idea of what is good and bad. I don’t tend to believe in such a thing, and I don’t think it’s useful criteria for looking at Adam Sandler’s work. A right, this is smarter.

I like this. The former is about treating Adam Sandler movie as a genre onto itself. See Oh Okay, I understand good stuff. You’ll find that on Vulture. Natural Comedy News for today see Tomorrow

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?

Thanks, it’s it’s it’s great to be here. This is a bit I like to call what’s new pussy cat? What’s new? Pussy cat? Whoa?

Whoa? What’s new pussy cat? Whoa? Ooh? One of the m M hey you heard?

What what about what? MP’s it isn’t you and doesn’t okay? Sorry? Continue okay, who was Oh wow, he’s hilarious though. How do you look for this clip Josh Glance Comedy up late twenty eighteen.

Boy, the visual definitely helps. I’m laughing here in the basement studio. He’s fantastic. Stick Ai Johnny mack here. I posted this in the Facebook group.

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.

Calarocus Shock Media. According to retailers, the most popular Halloween mass this year is OJ Simpson and the most popular Halloween greeting is I’ll kill you and that guy who’s bringing over your glasses or treat and the Pope came out of the book this week, which contains a series of essays examining faith and morality in today’s secular world and the changing role of the Catholic Church as it approaches the twenty first century. The book is entitled God Himself told Me that OJ is guilty. In other book news, Prince Charles released an autobiography in which he states that he never loved Princess Die and that his father pressured him to marry her. The book is entitled well, of course OJ did it?

I mean come on. Comedian Robert Burrell tweeted OJ Simpson’s family announced he died of cancer. Cancer, on the other hand, has begun looking for the real killer. Norma to like that joke. Samurell wrote the movie Defending Your Life, but with ojy.

Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News Decider did a long interview with Neil Brennan, Sean McCarthey, is your interviewer. He hosts a podcast called The Comics Comic No Sean A little bit back from my serious days, Shawn asked, Neil, you mentioned Joe Rogan in your special, but then also Dave Chappelle. These people have massive platforms and audiences who were listening and looking to them, who were saying, we’re just comedians, but somehow also weighing in on and leading the conversations and weighty issues. Neil said, But they were always weighing in on them. They were never not weighing in on them.

It just didn’t make a difference before it. They were always like, ah, that’s a comedian. At a certain point, I believe in the early two thousands when John Stewart and Chris Rock and I would even throw Michael Moore in there and they got bumped up a notch and John Stewart would tell you so much his final daily show before you retired, he said, it didn’t help. Fox is more powerful than when I started. It’s like it’s Dave helping or hurting trans people one percent one direction or the other.

Statistically, I’m gonna bet not. I can’t prove it, but they can’t prove that he is, you know what I mean. But it’s a good position to be like victimized by this comedian. But it’s like, yo, the whole thing was supposed to be about being funny, and then it became leadership. And the analogy I’ve been making is people complaining that snickers bars aren’t very nutritious.

No kidding, it’s a snickers bar. If you’re looking for leadership about any issue, why are people going, well, what do the clowns think? It’s insane? Rogan and other comedians on their podcast will defend themselves by saying we’re just comedians. Sean asked, how much do you think social media podcasting has blurned the lines for audiences in terms of thinking of comedians as purely as entertainers versus thinking of them as influencers.

That’s a great question, Neil said.

And then everybody asks this comedy under attack, and it’s like, no, it’s not…

It’s more like it’s all these questions of credibility, Like comedians are news anchors now, and that’s not because comedians are pretending to be news anchors. That’s because news anchors are topless on New Year’s Eve, or news anchors or you know, David Mrror is like a model. It’s like he looks like a fashion model. That doesn’t mean he’s not a good broadcaster, but I’m just saying the incentives of the structure, everything’s perverted.


And then people are turning into comedians, and then the news is trying to bl…

So the NIH’s total mangling of the COVID vaccine and mask roll out as Joe Rogan’s fault, and then you go, well, Joe needs to be No, he doesn’t. The minute Joe becomes a news thing, he’s not. It’s no fun. The whole thing is I’m just some guy. And here’s what I think.

And so many people liked him and appreciate the stuff he said that. It just had a huge following thought this was interesting too. Neil said, is Allen Degenerous nice? What did she give millions of dollars away to charity? Then yes she’s nice?

Is she hilarious? Then yes she’s nice. From the Daily Mail, a story about Tracy Morgan. There are a lot of N words in this one. I’m going to substitute in the word fella so I can roll through the story without having to stop and awkwardly say N word fifty times.

This from the Daily Mail. The headline Tracy Morgan’s former co star Bobby J. Thompson accuses comedian of bullying him on set for stealing scenes when he was just seven and Thompson was on comedy Hype News earlier in the week. He said Tracy Morgan accosted him when he was just seven years old during their time together on The Tracy Morgan Show, which ran on NBC in two thousand and three. Thompson is now twenty eight.

Thompson said, I remember being a kid on a certain set and the star of this certain project that I was working on. The fella got mad at me. I’m just a seven year old kid, just doing my job. Bro. He got mad at me, grabbed my collar and he was like, who the f is that on my sign?

My fella, that’s how he handled me, he said. Tracy Morgan told him to stop getting in scenes and hamming it up. The same fella turned around and did an interview and acted like it was all good, Like, oh yeah, if he’s stealing a scene and that’s what it should be. I only want to be the best, Thompson said, but fella, that’s cap That ain’t the truth. That ain’t how you felt for real, because you took me as a seven year old child and made me feel bad for doing my job well.

Thompson said Tracy’s criticism hurt him because he was only doing what he was learning from Tracy. That’s the cold part. He claimed. The experience has messed him up. He rained on a seven year old kid’s parade.

During the interview, Thompson had avoided mentioning the name of the actor. The interviewer guessed it was Tracy Morgan from the context clues. Then Thompson said, I ain’t ducking nothing. It’s Tracy Morgan. He says he has no bad blood towards Tracy, but the kid and me has still heard about that.

The grown man at me don’t give a damn. Tom Segoria has got another deal with Netflix. It’s a six episode dark comedy series that Segora will start in and produce. In untitled series, Tom Segora will serve as the narrator, will see him take the viewer through a series of vignettes in each episode. The twisted comedic sensibility of a stand up is the core DNA of the series where every story will unfold in a hilariously disturbing way only Tom Segora could imagine.

All right, twenty twenty five for that one. Gerrod Carmichael, who I’m just not interested in. He was on Andy Cohen’s show and they started talking about Gerrod’s foot fetish. Don’t care. Carmichael said, you know it’s new.

I’m really in a feat lately. It was taboo. Cohen said, yeah, because you’re sucking some feet on a grinder date in the first episode the show. Carmichael said, yeah, all in whatever. The La Times spoke to Chris Ostrata.

They had some fun banter about Twitter. The interviewer said, on Twitter, which is always what I referred to it as, not X. Astrata said, I joke around with that. I know Elon Musk bought Twitter and it’s called X, but it’s the only time I feel like an old person that doesn’t respect pronouns. I’m like, you were born Twitter and you will die Twitter.

I will not call you X. That’s a great joke, La Times. On Twitter, you posted about how standing at five eleven makes you a tall Mexican. What are some advantages of being a giant among your people, Astrata said, definitely, going to Northgate and reaching things other Latinos can’t. I joke about that because five eleven’s not tall.

But around a lot of Latinos that I grew up with, sometimes I was the taller one. I always joke around. If you’re over five eleven, you’re tall. But if you’re over five eleven is a Latino? You have Andre the giant disease.

The Times interviewer said, well, I’m six six in Mexican, so I’ll consider you my brethren. Astrada said, you have Andre the giant disease? Did you grow up by a nuclear plant? Gossup co Corner and on Gossip Corner, Amber Rose has set the record straight. She is not dating Chris Rock.

I don’t know why you think she was. They were seen out and about together in New York City, and she told Entertainment Tonight it was not a date. I’ve been friends with Chris Rock for like thirteen years. We met for coffee. We talked some crap to each other.

He made me laugh because he’s hilarious, and that’s our friendship, just friendship. It’s comedy festival time. Let’s see what’s going on at the various festivals. John, did you preload the Melbourne website? Of course not.

Maybe I’ll do that now while I tell you about Moontower at Moontower seven o’clock, Nicole Byer seven o’clock, Jeff Ross doing a lot of shows, Shane Gillis at eight, Joe Para nine thirty, Racial Bloom nine thirty, Let’s see. Hmm. Now I’m cheating because I already tape Saturday, so I know tomorrow I’m gonna say, let’s go see Shane Gillis. So let’s see Nicole Byer at seven and do Joe Parrett nine thirty has that sound? And at Melbourne let’s do some without clips today.

Laurence Driscoll’s show is called The Product Gay Sun. Prodigal doesn’t mean what you think it does, but Lawrence can’t explain it for you. He’s too busy sorting through flashbacks of growing up gay in rural Australia and escaping into the city as a gay refugee. Here’s hoping the healing power of laughter works. No reviews.

Oliver Hunter’s show is called Baby on Board. Oliver’s back and he’s at a massive year, he’s getting married, there’s a baby on the way. Is he ready? Absolutely not? Is he excited?

He’s working on it. Oliver’s laid back in the Conic style will have you rolling with laughter. Sceinster called it charming, witting and offering a perspective that doesn’t get much airtime. Rachel Taliney’s show is called Motion Sickness, car crashed, job sacked, bags packed? Did someone say Eurosummer?

Rachel lives her life in the fast lane, that is until a life changing car accident sends her into a fashionably early quarter life crisis. The result the trip of a lifetime baby hugging comedians said it was legendary one and a half stars. Theater thoughts said Tunney almost quite literally explodes onto the Melbourne comedy scene. The Australian Arts Review said, tightly wound original songs and rye asides and kicking off today until next Sunday, April twenty first, it’s the Dubai Comedy Festival. Two venues there, Dubai Opera and the Coca Cola Arena.

Roxy Cinemas at the Dubai Hills Mall will also host several shows, putting a spotlight on stars from the Egyptian Emmorati and South African comedy scenes. The Frank Skinner Show on Sunday, It’s been canceled, so if you’re heading to Dubai to see Frank Skinner, full refunds will be provided though, so that’s good. Catherine Ryan has been added to the lineup. She’ll play Dubai Opera tonight. She says, I’m a self author of my comedy, so I do talk a lot about my life and mistakes, but now I do have to consider more people’s feelings, Like I want to talk about my family and kids, but I don’t want to dunk on my husband constantly either, because I do plan to keep them around.

And with all that’s been happening in my life, I’ve pretty much checked out of comedy for a couple of years in the lef landscape change during that time. So the challenge for me now is how to still make self deprecating jokes and not be afraid of this new genre of comedy where people are scared of being canceled and very careful fortune Fiemster is taping her new special at the More Theater in Seattle tonight and tomorrow She’s described as affable, charismatic, and one of a kind. Richard Cervat has a new comedy album, They’re Gonna Know, that’s out on Blonde Medicine. They’re Gonna Know as an exploration of the modern world we live in, where trolls no longer live in caves but abound in in cell forms in the cloud. The Internet’s out of hand and Richard is not afraid to say it.

The album also tells the story of Richard buying three hundred bitcoins when they cost a dollar, so he must be a trillionaire, and spending them all on magic mushrooms. Oof. If the math is right, that was a seven million dollar trip. And that is your comedy news for today. On the weekend, Tomorrow’s a normal episode.

Sunday took a look at the updated Adam Sandler movie list. You know, he has forty seven films. Vulture ranked them and I commented, So that’s Sunday’s episode. Tomorrow is normal. See you then,

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Choenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’ll talk about Neil Brennan special in a second, but some good stuff from Late Night. Colbert said, Now, if you told Stephen Colbert is a teenager that one day the president of the United States would be standing trial for paying off a porn star, that young man would say, you have porn. Jimmy Fallon joked about the jury selection and said it asked questions like whether they believe in QAnon, used truth, social or attempt Trump rallies.

In other words, they want to know, are you Marjorie Taylor Green switching to healthcare? Kim Old Trump believes that every woman should have the right to drive six hundred miles for healthcare seth President Biden attack former President Trump over his stance on abortion, which Trump describes as don’t ask, don’t tell. All right that Neil Brannan special. Did you catch the bonus episode that I released on Tuesday night? I had a lot of things to say there about an unnamed special, but specific to Neil Brennan.

Oh, I was so disappointed. The material is good, which is the shame of it all. I think possibly perhaps maybe it could be conceivably true that maybe somehow someone accidentally added a lot of laughter after every single line. He pauses, there’s a huge laugh after every line. And I don’t know about you, fellow human.

You can’t as a human, you can’t do that. You can’t just constantly be like bah bah bah. You have to let these specials breathe. I spoke my piece in the bonus episode about an unnamed special, so check that one out. I did a three minute rant on Tuesday night about that one.

But I can’t add this to the top specials of twenty twenty four. And again, the material is there, but I don’t know what’s going on. Guys, I don’t know. Let me know what you think of it. In the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group hip Hop DX says Dave Chappelle reportedly made some wise cracks about his longtime friend Kanye West and Kanye’s wife Bianca.

They’re sourcing a Reddit poster who says, I went to a Dave Chappelle show last night and he had multiple jokes directed at Ya throughout the night. He did say there’s no beef between them. I’m gonna have to really clean this next part up. Chappelle said he recently had dinner with Ya and Bianca, but said it was the most uncomfortable dinner he ever attended because Bianca was basically naked. He said it looked like she woke up and put some makeup on, slap some duct tape on her upper body, cleaned that up, and shoved a cork up her area.

That you might shove a cork up and know not the first thing that came to mind, the other thing that’s more nasty. So she shoved a cork up there and walked out the door. Thank you, ready user for that mental picture. Joe Rogan and Andrew Schultz got a little political. Rogan spoke of the current president, saying the idea that they’re going to keep running him is just bananas.

You’re going to keep him in there. I can’t believe that’s real. But as time goes on, I’m starting to think they might actually keep running him. Schultz said, I don’t know why they would switch him out. They’re not in a position they can switch him out for anybody who steps in.

Rogan theorized he’d have to kick the bucket. Schultz suggested the Democrats would put Gavin Newsom in the place of Biden, asking Rogan if he thinks that’s the scenario Democrats are secretly hoping for. Rogan went with it and said, May, I think Biden’s got until May. I feel like right around May they’re gonna pull him, Schultz said, and Newsom comes in, Rogan, I think he just has health problems and the country understands, and Newsom is going to have his support fully, and Kamala is gonna be like, I don’t even want to be president. I’m cool with being vice president Schultz.

So Newsom runs with Kamala. Rogan, Yeah, I think so. I don’t think they can pull Kamala as long as they can keep her quiet. Schultz, none of us really believe he’s making the decisions right. He’s just like a puppet for just to get lambasted when all these things happen, and then he forgets about it immediately afterwards.

Rogan said, yeah, he doesn’t know. He’s the perfect guy to blame for things. Conan O’Brien returned to The Tonight Show, currently hosted by Jimmy Fallon. Now I forgot that the Tonight Show had moved back to New York City and said, I haven’t been in this building for such a long time, and I haven’t been on this floor. Fallon now using similar space to what Conan used for Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Conan said, flashbacks happened.

I mean, I was here for sixteen years doing the Late Night show before we went out to LA and right across the hall, all these memories came flooding back to me. Conan said the strangest part was seeing his old studio where the Kelly Clarkson Show now shoots. Conan says, the first thing that’ll hit you, it’ll hit you too, because when you’re ninety eight, you’ll move on and someone else will be in this chair. Conan took the high road, and you should take the high road. And Conan told Jimmy Fallon, I want to say I’m just very happy for you.

I’ve had the honor of meeting every Tonight Show host going back to Steve Allen, and I think what you’ve done with the show is beautiful. You’ve made it your own, You’ve done so much great quality work, and I couldn’t be happier for you. Pete Davidson also took the high road, he recently decided not to continue forward with Bupkis. An insider told TMZ that Pete has given quote hundreds of thousands of cash to the show’s creators as a token of appreciation for their efforts. This source says he gave the money to just a handful of people who were involved in season one.

The source added the people who were working on the now dead second season did not get any money. Vere Does had a fun encounter. Well, maybe not fun encounter. It’s fun for me as I sit in the basement, don’t have to deal with this. Verer was in a hotel and went to the bathroom and started doing the kind of thing you’re doing there, and there was a snake.

He tweeted at an echo resort for the night because we’re shooting nearby. Needed to take a whiz, open up the bathroom door, stood over the pot, stuff out, and before I began, a snake fell from the ceiling directly onto the water tank near the flush handle. I’m never peeing again. So after I bailed on Neil Brennan at the seventeen minute mark because of reasons well discussed, I put on the Curb finale, even though I hadn’t caught up on the full season of Curb. It was okay, not bad, not amazing.

I’m not going to ever think about it again. I kind of like Larry’s Fu to the Universe that he re did the Seinfeld finale. It was okay. Darren Revelle, if you’re on Twitter, you may know Darren. He tweets a lot about sports and said after opening day, July fifth is the best selling ticket day for the New York Yankees.

Is it because they’re playing the Red Sox? No, the Yankee say it’s because they’re giving out a George Costanza bobblehead. When I drove to Vermont the other day and back, I listened to a million podcasts. I forgot to mention. One of them I listened to was Mark Marin with Tig Natzaro.

I had a bail on it. I just I don’t find Tig good company. I’ve had this reaction with her before when I listen to her on stuff. I enjoy her comedy, but I just wasn’t feeling it’s I bailed. Alison Brie has shared an update on the Community movie.

She says, we got a script. You heard it here first. I’ve read the script and it’s so funny. But then she said, I hope that Annie hasn’t changed too much, because I loved her just the way she was. Well, you read the script.

Has Annie changed or not been? What? Ten years now? I hope Annie changed? Tonight at the Moontower Comedy Festival, Darcy and Jerr.

They were super cool when I had them on the podcast about a year seven o’clock, Rachel Bloom at seven, Margaret Show at nine thirty, and Jeff Ross at nine thirty. All right, so on the front end, I’d say, let’s go see Darcy and Jerr because they were cool to me. On the back end, Margaret Show’s manager or agent or somebody associated with Margaret Show insulted the hell out of me twenty years ago for telling me I was too stupid to give Margaret Show a show on serious. That was not a good opener. That immediately made me go, you’re never getting a show on Sirius.

Now, don’t come at me like that, dad. So I’m not gonna go see Margaret Show. Hypothetically, if I were in Austin, which I’m not, I would go see Jeff Ross, which means good choice by me, yesterday, not seeing Jeff Ross. So Jeff Ross with the late show, Darcy and Jair for the early show. Who scrolling down at tomorrow?

Shane gillis? All right, Shane hasn’t been in the news. Let me throw him in Google see if anything’s up. Nope, nothing new.

All right, let’s see what’s going on at Melbourne.

Did you pre load the website today, John? No, it is April twelfth day, Friday night in Melbourne because of the way time zones work. Yeah, we knew it on time. A little short today, all right, let me find someone with clips for you. Michael Shaffar’s show is called Lots to Say.

Sim Out says he’s a brand of comedian that is getting rare and rare to come by these days. And if you’re among those who fear comedy’s gotten too politically correct, this show will put those fears to rest. One of his clips has a big lettering that says, any nazis here, let’s listen. So I’m trying to be a better Jew. I don’t perpetuate any Jewish stereotypes anymore.

I don’t pick up money from the ground anymore, and don’t do it’s too risky. What if someone says me, I’ll be like, ah, Jude, picking your money, fucking you know it? It was my money. I’ll dropped my money. I was leaving Colls Bella Clava the other day, old lady comes up to me.

She goes, excuse me, sir, is that yours? There’s a duller coin on the ground. And I was like, now, I just try a bitch, and then just walked off, not following for that one, not going for that. I don’t want to perpetuate any Jewish stereotypes. Like if I’m watching the news on TV with a friend, I will never change the channel because I don’t want him to think that I control the media.

But I never grow up with any Christian customs. I find Christian customs very strange. Such a friend of mine as Christian. I was like, isn’t it weird that you guys cut down a tree? This is a weird custom that you guys have, and he goes, well, don’t you think it’s weird to cut off a foreskin?

I was like, yeah, but we don’t then hang the fur skin in the living room. I mean, religious Jews do, but I’m pretty secular. So he’s fantastic that was really good. The material is much better than the crowd. We actually love him.

He’s Michael Schaffar. If you want to head down in Melbourne, he’s a QT Melbourne nine thirty. You should go right. Let’s try George Zacharoppolis twenty twenty four, Greek Comedian of the Year Greek in the Sheets. Reviews Up gave it five stars, saying wicked sense of humor.

One four review, five stars. This is an accomplished stand up at quite a frenetic pace. Now I’ve noticed a lot of the other reviews site like the Adelaide whatever or what are the big newspapers, the Quintessential review reviews Hub and one four review made me suspect that maybe, perhaps possibly George had to go digging for a good review. I haven’t listened yet. I’m gonna listen just as you are for the first time.

Let’s see. And in Melbourne last year, I came on stage in this place. Hello guys, my name is George. I’m from Greece. This guy stood up he what made that?

Is preposterous? Which for the heck all, it’s pretty good. I was on stage. I get deering headlights thick in preposterous, that’s my cousin’s name. All right, That’s that’s all he shared.

He got a laugh because of his timing on the first one. He took that pause and then followed up with not an amazing line, but he got the laugh for timing. Okay, the preposterous is my cousin or whatever the joke was. This is a bit of a hack joke, right but okay, Like if you went to see him tonight and he sat there, it was fun. It’s not George Corolin in his prime.

But it’s fine. Let’s do one more. This is Enribonds Gupta. That show’s called polite provocation. Film companion says his astute sense of observation, chris writing and stage persona have made him stand out as a favorite no matter what country he performs.

In Beat magazine four stars, calling him suave, smooth and an international veteran.


All right, let’s listen, Hi, I’m very happy to be here because the other opti…

I’ve been doing comedy in India for ten years and now I have nothing to say. India is so funny already. How can you be funnier than India? It’s impossible. One time I was doing a show in Mumbai and on the way I saw an ambulance crash into another ambulance.

Both patients went in a tuk took to the cemetery. So it’s just good to be away for a while. I was recently invited to perform a stand up at a corporate event and for some reason they put me right after the motivational speaker, so we just canceled each other out. He was like, you can win, and I was like, you have lost. He’s really funny.

A nearby Duskoopta come to the states Man. That’s the kind of comedy that would crush here. He needs to get up here. Like him a lot. Once a corporate hotshot.

He’s great stages across India and the globe, smashing the prestigious just for laughs, from Montreal, last year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival, etcetera, etcetera. Yeah, dude, come to the States All right, let’s get on a high note. I loved him, And that’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I got some fights for you and I enjoy that. From Indy Star, Cat Williams sold out show at the Indiana Farmers Colisseum on Saturday night ended early. James told Indy Star the story.

Apparently, before Cat Williams took the stage, a man sitting in the row in front of James was invading his personal space because the seats were so close to the back of the man’s head in the row in front of James would be close to James’s lap whenever he leaned back. James said, I tapped and I’m like, hey man, I’m not trying to stop your good time, but can you please stop putting your head in my lap? James says the man responded with a dismissive gesture, so he walked to concessions to keep calm. The guy’s friend, though, apparently encouraged the man with the head in the lap to fight James. James told the Indie Story, he said, you should really knock him out.

James said, I couldn’t pay it ten men to cant Williams’s performance because everything had kept going on. I wasn’t sitting there arguing with him. The guy kept trying to irritate me. Missus James urged her husband to keep cool, and they decided to leave the show. They figured they could watch the last part of KATS set from the TVs out in the hallways.

On his way out, though, James looked back and saw one of the men, not the guy with the lap the guy who encouraged the lap person to attack James. He saw that person attempt to hit his wife. James doubled back and then full on fight. Missus James got between her husband and the man, fearing they were too close to the balcony railing and calling for them to stop fighting. Missus James says, the man, who by then had a bloody nose, intentionally wiped the blood on her face.

Now apparently again, I wasn’t there. People had complained about the group in the more forward row before James even got hassled. As the story goes, security told the men to stop bothering other attendees. The men countered they weren’t being rude and they were the ones being insulted. Missus James said, I don’t know why Security didn’t dismiss them the first time.

She said she broke the heel of her shoe and brewster thigh during the incident. There’s a video on social media. Kat Williams wraps it up says thank y’ all for coming. God bless you have a good night. TMZ reported that reps for Cat Williams said the show was cut only five minutes early.

Meanwhile, a headline from TMZ Jerrod Carmichael slammed for joke about slavery race play with white boyfriend. Now is it me? I have no interest in Girod Carmichael reality show at all. Have you watched it? Is it good?

I just I’m not interested in it? TMZ reports the controversial quip came on Jerrod carmichael reality show, where Drod says I sometimes joke to him that our relationship was like that of a slave and a master’s son who teaches me how to read by candlelight. Yeah, he groans too, because he’s a good person. He doesn’t like that joke. I like that joke.

That’s my burden. I think that’s hilarious. The scene apparently got posted all over Instagram and ignited a firestorm of criticism. Folks are blasting Drod’s joke as an inappropriate take on racial inequality. Netflix announced a six episode John Mulaney thingy called John Mulaney Presents Everybody’s in La.

This will debut May third, with additional episodes debuting nightly beginning at seven Pacific. Ah, that’s not good for us E’s coasters. What do you do in Netflix? The other episodes will run May six. I don’t know why the gap in between.

Mullaney will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl on May fourth. All right, so what happens in John MULLENIY Presents Everybody’s in La. Each of the live installments will feature Millenie exploring the city and will incorporate many of the famous and not so famous faces in town. Netflix describes it as the comically unconventional show featuring special guests and field piece of shot in La. No news yet on who will be on the show.

By the way, John Mulaney in a trailer looks pretty good with his hair grown out.

Speaking of La, Nick Curl spoke to LAist and was discussing Netflix.

So these two stories par nicely. Curl said of Netflix, I think you can take a comedy and who would have in the past been able to perform at clubs around the country just as a working comedian and really expand their audience, like somebody like Ali Wong, who before her special was an amazing comedian, was a working comedian. The exposure Netflix gave her has made her a household name, and she’s obviously gone on to do other kinds of stuff like beef. Krole discussed the economics of comedy and the Internet age. She said, it’s opened up tremendously from where it was.

Montreal was a comedy festival and there was another one in Aspen. When I’m starting out, if you were at my stage or the beginning of your career, you really needed to go one of those festivals and get noticed and get signed by agent’s managers, hopefully some sort of deal to develop a sitcom or maybe once in a blue moon get an HBO special. That has changed dramatically, Aspen is no more. I was at Aspen. I saw George Carlin there.

Montreal is in real financial trouble. I think it’s because the Internet has just opened that up so much. If you’re a funny person, you start to make funny videos on TikTok, or you have a podcast that builds an audience, or you’re on Patreon you have a dedicated group of people. You can build audiences in so many ways and build revenue streams for yourself in so many ways. That has changed the economics of it.

All Right, I had promised you some Bob’s Moudha stories, and this is a good time for me to tell them. I’m stumbling over the reads today. I went up on Monday for the eclipse, and I got home at twelve forty five am. It took me longer to drive back from Vermont than it did to get back from Michigan a couple weeks back. And if everything went according to plan.

In your podcast feed, the Travel is Back podcast should have an episode titled something along the lines of Burlington, Vermont Eclipse something. So if you want to hear my eclipse journeys, you can switch over to the Travel is Back podcast when we’re done here. All right, Bob’s Muda. Are you hip to Tony Clifton? So?

Tony Clifton is a big, loud, belligerent comedian who thinks he’s the greatest comedian in the world. There are those who believe that Tony Clifton was Andy Kaufman’s alter ego. There are those who believe that since Sandy passed away, Bob’s Muda has played the role. Now I got to spend time with Bob’s Muda. Oh it’s probably fifteen years ago now, and he would never quite admit to being Tony Clifton.

And he was up a couple days in a row. We were working on an idea so at serious exam. I don’t know if they still do it, but we used to do these town halls, so you would get a famous person to come in. You’d invite twelve to twenty fans up to hang out in our fish Bowl studio and it was kind of an intimate event. You’d try and get famous people to do it.

One I remember we did with Henry Winkler and Bruno Mars walked down the hallway and saw Henry Winkler and came in and like so that was like a really cool moment. We had Cheech and Chong one time, and I think Snoop was there if I remember correctly, and he popped in like so that kind of like cool celebrity thing. We were working on an idea. We wanted to do Andy Kaufman town Hall, and the Kaufman Estate was cool with it. They were gonna give me a quote where Andy was gonna say he was really excited to be part of this thing, and we were gonna do a total Kaufman type put on of you know, hey, welcome to the broadcast.

Apparently Andy’s running a little late, and we were gonna kill time. We were gonna ask Kristin Shall to be part of it because she had won the inaugural I think it was Kaufman Award. We were gonna ask Meo to be part of it as Tony Clifton, not that he is Tony Clifton, but we were gonna ask him, which is ridiculous because he’s not Tony Clifton. And we were just going to drag this thing out and just keep killing time and have Andy calfun never actually show up. So Azmuda told me a story one time that they were doing something similar and they booked a venue and they were just killing time and killing time.

I don’t remember the story exactly, but he said it eventually was like three or four in the morning and people just would not leave. So he tried to add lib a plan. He said, okay, that was part one of the show. Now part two of the show is on the Staten Island Ferry, so meet us there at five thirty. So he headed downtown and figured people would give in.

Oh no, Kaufman Devotes showed up at the Staten Island Ferry. They took the ferry over to Staten Island, got breakfast and his Muda said eventually had a fall onto sword and be like, all right, you got me and he’s not coming. So that was a good put on. And the other thing that I remember is we booked Tony Clifton to be up a serious and Tony Clifton shows up and this was you know everything in New York City Post nine to eleven. The security got ridiculous.

Was a pain in the neck to get into that building any day. I forgot my idea. It would like I have to call upstairs and get someone to verify myself. It’s easy to get through the airport than to get into that building. So Tony Clifton shows up and he does not have any idea.

It says he’s Tony Clifton, so they won’t let him in and he threw a big tantrum down on the lobby and left. So if Tony Clifton were Bob’s mudo, which he’s totally not, he didn’t break character. He’s stating character is Tony Clifton and never made it upstairs. I’ve got some more stories, maybe tomorrow, maybe on the weekend. I’m really excited of the podcast, Five Good News Stories.

Number Five Good News Stories, which I also host, has made the Apple Top one hundred, no subcategory, the main Top one hundred. I’m telling you, as a professional podcaster, to achieve that from the basement is not easy.


And now Apple Podcasts promoted the show, which is why it zoomed up the charts.

But boy, that one is off to the races. Five Good News Stories. Wherever you get your programs told you about the clips travelers back. I understand curb your enthusiasm was good. So what happened here?

I didn’t watch it because one I wanted to get up early and drive to Vermont on Monday. Two Saturday night, I was watching shows and it was around ten o’clock and I’m like, I don’t know what do I want to watch? Let me see what Peacock has and Peacock had WrestleMania and I’m like, all right, I haven’t watched wrestling forever, and they’re like coming up next the Rock and I’m like, okay, So I watched WrestleMania on Saturday night, and many of you are going to be like, yeah, we know, Johnny Mack, where you’ve been. But I was blown away by the production values and the high entertainment of it all, just the intros alone. I was like, all right, I’ll watch this, And I watched The Rock Fight till I don’t know eleven fifteen or so, and then I went to bed.

So then Sunday night, when it was WrestleMania night too, I was like, you know what, I’m going to stare at that again and again the production values. They had a band come out that looked like a combination of Carnival and Marty Grass. It was just so much fun. So I didn’t finish WrestleMania because I went to bed and I didn’t watch Curb and my plan for Tuesday night was to watch Neil Brennan and maybe finish WrestleMania. We’ll see anyway, I understand Kerb but was good when I get around to it.

I will tell you about it. I listened to oh, thirteen hours of podcasts on Monday, and I have a problem. This is not a made up number. I’ll send you the screenshot if you don’t believe me. So after driving it took about five six hours to get up there, coming back to almost nine with all the traffic.

I listened to thirteen hours of podcast Monday at two point two two point three speed, and I still listen to this number. I still have two hundred and fifty two podcasts downloaded to my phone. I have a problem. One of the podcasts I listened to is Tim Dillon. He was a guest on Diary of a CEO.

So if you want to hear the real Tim Dillon, that’s the one I told you the other day that people had pulled out some sizzle quotes of Tim bashing the millennials, et cetera. If you hear it in context, he’s clearly doing a riff. But if you want to hear a real interview with Tim Dillon and why I like Tim Dillon a lot, I listened to the Diary of CEO podcas where Tim is the guest, and again, eventually Tim’s gonna step on a land of mine, and I will distance myself from him. We’ve had a little controversy in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group. Feel encouraged to join us there.

There are some people who are sick and tired of the Joe Koy joke. Now, I don’t know if you know this back at the Golden Gladow, I won’t do it. People are sick of the Golden Globes joke. Others seem to be on team Johnny Mack who think the repetition is funny. My point of view is something starts out funny then gets really annoying, but if you stick with it, it comes back around to be even funnier because of the repetition.

So some people are on team Johnny Mack with that. But I’ll give it a rest. But I said rest, it’s not going away forever. How about that. That’s a nice compromise.

The Moons Hour Comedy Festival kicks off today. That means I gotta add another bookmark here on my MacBook schedule. Let’s see seven o’clock Frankie ken Unius, seven o’clock, Jeff Ross, nine thirty, Desi Banks, Rachel Bloom. Let’s see do I want to? I was gonna say, let’s go see Jeff Ross, but I feel like we know what Jeff does.

Let’s go see Frankie Conyonias to mix it up and then whatever you want to do at nine thirty DESI or Rachel up to you meanwhile, Melbourne Comedy Festival, where it’s already April eleventh in Australia, John, did you preload the website today? No, let’s do some without clips today. Billy Styles show is called The Trip. It’s the hilarious story of Billy winning an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii on the main radio station in Australia by making up a story of how his marriage was broken up by an affair and the drama and karma that was to follow. Billy was not married at the time.

All right, that’s fun. Cameron James show is called Mixtape and there’s a little icon here that says selling fast. Let’s see why. Well. He was the winner of the Director’s Choice Award at the twenty twenty two Sydney Comedy Festival and a nominee for the twenty twenty two Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award for Most Outstanding Show.

The age said comedy par excellence four and a half stars out of presumably five. Time Out said we howled four stars out of who knows how many stars, presumably four, perhaps a million. The description, Hi, my name’s Cameron James, and this is a show about music, love and the summer in two thousand and nine that I worked as a singing captain Jack Sparrow impersonator at a suburban dinner theater restaurant. Check in the tape, press play and crank the valume on a high energy love letter to the songs that shape your life and the memories they spark. The first cases, the first break ups, the first jobs, all of it.

After an award winning sellout twenty twenty three tour, Came returns to Melbourne with a carefully curated mixtape of hilariously true stories and ridiculous original songs, all for his embarrassment In your amusement. That sounds fun Chan not locked Tim Cantonese comedy show. And there’s some Cantonese characters here. Oh there is a clip. Let’s listen, Moe Diagle Comedia Comedia.

All right, I’m gonna fall on my sword here. What I wanted to do there was get to a laugh, and then tell you I thought he was pretty funny. You guys didn’t realize I speak Cantonese. I played the clip for a minute, the crowd never laughed, so I cut it short. The other thing I was going to do is say that he made a joke about Taylor Swift.

See it a Whirl.

Comedians, please stop adding fake laughs to comedy specials (bonus)

Caloroga Shark Media. This one’s a short bonus episode. I just kind of get something off my chest. I was just watching a comedy special I was excited about from a comedian. I like a comedian.

I think is an ascendancy. And as I’m watching it, my spidy sense started tingling about the crowd. Comedians, please stop sweetening the audience. The special I just watched and I bailed after about seventeen minutes. The material was very strong, but the presentation was It reminded me of Big Bang Theory, where everybody said something and there was a laugh line.

And I’m going to illustrate it for you. I had the AI write a really lame comedy routine about boats. No, I’m not a comedian, I’m not a performer. I don’t have to perform jokes. But I’m going to do this here and add in the crowd mix to illustrate what I’m hearing when I watch these comedy specials.

Right, here’s a little set about boats, but in the style of what keeps happening on these specials now with way too much crowd. Okay, let’s compare the material to the crowd. So I tried to buy a boat, but my bank wouldn’t float me alone. They said my credit was underwater. I guess too much peer pressure.

Okay, not the strong as material, right, But the crowd went not it’s hilarious. Jerry Hams. It was George Carlin’s manager. I got to spend some time with Jerry when we were putting together Carlin’s Corner for Serious x M, and Jerry explained to me that Carlin would let a set breathe, he’d come out and do a few rat attack jokes. This one is an actual Carland joke, but a rat attad joke is something quick like did you ever notice it when you have a hat on for a long time?

It feels like it’s not there? Right? A bunch of those? Do a bunch of those. Then he would go into a long sweeping arc of his main thesis.

And Jerry explained, you can’t just keep going bam bam, bam, bam, bam bam bam, because the audience fatigues. And that’s what happened to me on this special that I was watching this evening good material, comedian, I like comedian and ascendancy, but to my ears, it sounded like somebody added laughter, and if everything is at peak optimum laughs, then there’s nowhere to go. If you’re at your top, there’s nowhere to go. You’re already at your top. So if every joke is getting a massive laugh, it’s very fatiguing.

So comedians, I beseech you dial it down. Not everything has to be at max, and don’t have your production team at laughs. I can hear it back in the morning with a normal episode

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. If you listened yesterday you heard I was losing my voice. Well, I recorded this one right after that once I could goof off yesterday and go see the eclipse. My voice isn’t too bad, but I don’t have it in me to like punch up and down on the vocals as much as usual, So I’m gonna crib off the Melbourne Comedy Festival the second half.

Again. I did have the late Bot write some jokes about Jim Gaffigan bourbon. Late Bot says, did you hear Jim Gaffigan’s releasing his own bourbon? Finally a whiskey for dads who think olive garden is too ethnic. Jim Gaffigan’s new bourbon is perfect for people who find perhaps blue bourbon too edgy and dangerous.

Gaffigan’s Bourbon is the only whiskey that comes with the side of mashed potatoes and gravy. The bourbon pairs nicely with a sensible bedtime and doctor approved cholesterol level. Jim Gaffigan’s Bourbon for when you want to get wild and crazy but still be in bed by nine point thirty. Bourbon aficionados are calling Gaffigan’s whiskey the khaki pants of the liquor world. All that was by AI, not bad late bot.

Jim Gaffigan said the new whiskey was created from scratch, with no corporate or investor backing. I put up my own money and sampled hundreds of barrels because I wanted to create something that I enjoyed drinking, that would be a beautiful addition to anyone’s bar and would make a great Father’s Day gift. I’m obviously not a bourbon expert, but I did my research and I know what I like. I handpicked the bourbon in each autograph bottle of father Time. Oh it just got even less cool.

Hey, here’s a Jim Gaffigan autograph bottle. I don’t know, man, and no, there isn’t some big spirit company behind this adventure, just me and a buddy from college. We got tons of help from smart bourbon people, and we’re proud of what we created. We hope you enjoying drinking it as much as we do. I have a feeling this is going to go down like remember George Lopez Tacos.

If you’re a longtime listener George was all about the tacos during the pandemic and then never heard about that again. Neil Brennan specials out on Netflix today. It’s called Neil Brennan Crazy Good. The Hollywood Reporter was curious where he filmed the special. Interesting answer, he said, at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood.

But I’ve never really understood the big thing about audiences in general. My audiences are ninety five percent the same wherever I go, even in like London or Thailand. The jokes either work or they don’t. What Neil’s hoping for with this one is that people who thought I was Mopi or Maudlin, or self peding, or maybe had written me off, give me a chance. It’s a hard thing to ask people like no, no, no, We’ve reimagined who Neil Brennan is.

But hopefully if you watch the first eleven or twelve minutes, you’ll see, oh, he’s just being reckless and funny. He’s not being contemplative in any way. He commented on his executive producer, Bill Burr. He said, Bill Burr, now Matrick will have this company all Things Comedy that produced it. They’re great and very pro comedian, and it’s not like there’s a ton of graft in the comedy production world, but they know exactly what costs what.

Bill’s done nine specials with something, so he knows exactly what everything should cost.

Speaking of Bill Burr, he did one of those amas with Wired.

I’ll go rapid Fire here Bill. What’s Bill Burr’s best special? Burr said, that’s like saying which child do you like most? Sophie’s choice. I love Paper Tiger because I was in England and I love challenge to that.

I also love Red Rocks. It wasn’t even what I did. It was the crowd. What I love was how was Mike You could hear the crowd and if you can get through my jokes on the special, just listen to the audience. Every once in a while I’d say something really random and stupid and people would laugh at the ridiculousness of it, but you always hear one guy just go like, yeah, it wasn’t a joke, because it’s like, yeah, I think that too.

He talked about Breaking Bad and said, I did the car wash one first, then I did the one with Lavelle Crawford where the guy drops the oranges and bangs his head. And I got to be in Saul Goodman’s office, which was crazy because I was such an insane fan of the show. I think two three seasons in and I remember going to saw Goodman’s office where the Constitution thing above his desk, and I felt like I got sucked in on my TV. It was incredible.


And then I did the train robbery and I got to drive that big dump truck and I…

I just let the clutch out and gave a gas. I was young. I didn’t know what he was doing. He was asked, what’s Bilburr like in real life? He said, I’m an inquisitive person.

I just try to stay ahead of my depression. And if I’m learning something new, it’s exciting. It’s challenging, it’s embarrassing because I’m making mistakes. But I don’t have to listen to the demons. It shuts them up.

They start talking around eleven fifteen, eleven sixteen, every night New Topic. How did Bill burend up on the Mandalorian Bill said, I ended up on it through Jon Favreau, who listened to my podcast. He used to hear me making fun of Star Wars and though it was funny. I ended up meeting him at a mutual friend’s birthday party. He goes, you know, there’s a partner that we’re writing right now.

I think it’d be good for it. And I was like, John, you gonna be honest with you. I kind of make fun of Star Wars. Not in a malicious way. It’s just I see people really enjoying something, and I know it’s an easy hit.

If I make fun of it, I can watch them get upset. You know. It fills up my day for whatever reason. And he goes, no, no, no, He goes, I know I’ve heard it. I think it’s hilarious, and I think your fans would find it funny if you were on the show.

Bill says it’s one of the favorite things he’s ever done in his career. And I will say Star Wars fans are cool as hell. Deadline reports Tom sigoors and talks from multiple roles in Dirty Rotten Bastarday, show biz centric indie film from Ed Helms and Mike Fabio’s Pacific Electric Picture Company. The film tells the insane true story of an aspiring filmmaker who’s kidnapped by deranged lounge singer Tony Clifton. Now do you know who Tony Clifton is?

I’ll get to that in a second. Initially drawn a doc in Clifton’s world, he’s thrust into a chaotic journey of sex, celebrity, and comedy, blurring the lines between observer and participant and testing his sanity. Sigor will play Andy Kaufman’s larger than like comedic persona Clifton, as well as Andy Kaufman’s friend and longtime collaborator, Bob’s Muda. Now, if you’re not hip to this joke, there was this loud mouth character Tony Clifton, often played by Andy Kaufman, and the late night talk shows would try and book Andy, and Andy would say, I’ll only come on as Tony Clifton, and sometimes Tony Clifton would be Andy, and sometimes Bob’s Muda would dress up and perform the character, and Andy Kaufman would be home laughing at everyone, thinking was Andy Kaufman doing a character? I’ve met Bob’s mood to spent a lot of time with them back at Serious.

I’ve got some stories, but I don’t have the voice to tell them properly today, so I’m going to leave a note to tell you these tomorrow or the day after Deadline rights. Zumuda was known to switch off with Kaufman and portraying Clifton, a foulmouth singer out of Vegas famous for his abrasive personality and erratic behavior. Kaufman liked to in have at him both on stage and off, sometimes appearing in character during interviews and public appearances. The mystique surrounding the character was amplified by the fact that, over the course of Kaufman’s life, many believe Clifton to be a real person separate from Andy Kaufman. Great stuff, I’ll tell us some stories tomorrow Gossup cor Corner and on Gossip Corner, The Daily Mail says.

Adam Sandler kept it casual in a north Face coat as he enjoyed a stroll with his daughters. Adam Sandler spotted in London walking around.


Also spotted playing basketball with some locals.

We’re told Adam opted for a laid back look with a light blue hoodie and a pair of red tracksuit bottoms. Let’s see what’s happening at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival so I can save my voice. Daniel Connell’s show is called Little Aussy Battler. Let’s listen. Lovely to be here, It’s lovely to be out and about.

It’s great to say international travelers returning from Ivis and Ozzie’s coming back. They haven’t been able to come back for a while. I’ve been out at the airport last week. I went out there. I didn’t have anybody to pick up.

I just went out to watch. It’s nice just watching people jumped on a few family huddles. They hated it, but I quite enjoyed it. It’s just nice to feel something, you know, just anything at a moment, absolutely ruined though. This guy is about mid thirties.

He’s come bolt through the terminal. I see his parents on the other side of the early seventies. He runs up to him. He’s got all his luggae. John.

He gets to him, I’m almost about to jump on the huddle and they pull their mass down the mother and the sun and a big, long kiss on the lips. Big that is disgusting. If we cut that out. I land out like an audible. Ah, it’s pretty good.

How about this show? Ruby Ester does her Bester? I like the title, let’s listen. I hey, look, I’m just gonna get right into it and preface my set by saying I’m aware. I’m aware.

I come off quite anxious on stage, all right, Not to worry, It’s mostly just the anxiety. No, but I think my anxiety started in intermediate school when I was moderately to severely bullied. That’s a laugh line. It’s okay. The bully died last year.

Delta. No sorry, no, sorry, too soon? Too soon? No? No, no, I did it?

Do you guys like my hair? Thank you? Correct? Yeah. I went to the hair dresser very recently with a very specific image in mind and in hand.

I printed it out and I handed it to my hairdresser and she looks concerned, and she was like, okay, just going to confer with you. You want me to give you waistlength extensions and diet all black? No, no, I said, you’re not listening on h leak. You see the way the girl in the picture is looking out the window. You see the way the rain is falling softly on the window pane.

How she’s unoberturbed by the slight warping of her face in the water, or the hand resting on her shoulder, or even the party going on in the windows reflection behind her. You see how she doesn’t quite fit in, but she doesn’t not belong. You see how she doesn’t know, She doesn’t know where she’s going to go next. Maybe she’ll rejoin the party, maybe she’ll go to a different party, go to a club, go to a friend’s house. For hell, maybe she’s gonna go home.

Can you cut that? Is that? I think it’s like layers and she couldn’t zero stars, so we bleached it. Thank you, I’ve been Ruby, You’ve been lovely. Have a good night.

I loved her. Her presence is fantastic. Now, maybe not the funniest joke, but what a great storyteller. I couldn’t wait to hear how that one would finish. She at me totally captivated.

Fantastic. Right, let’s do one more. Tommy Little’s show was called Tommy Little has a regular sized deck. There’s a picture of him playing cards. I don’t know what you were thinking.

Let’s listen. I had a busy year last year. I went to fight pies. I became a pilot. You do people clap with that, but that’s fine.

I’m obviously performing to a room for fellow pilots. Nice. It’s not as long as you think right. When you’re driving a car, you have to do one hundred and twenty hours next to someone else before you’re allowed to drive a car by yourself. Flying a plane, I did nine hours and I was allowed to fly a plane by myself.

How why was that? It means you can catch a flight from here to Hong Kong, and if you earn on the way, when it lands, you can say to the captain, don’t worry, champ, I’ll take it back from here. Being a pilot is the best because there are no rules. Sorry, there are heaps of rules, there’s just no one to check on them. You can’t get pulled over in the sky.

No one has ever checked my license. No one has ever breathalyzed me, no one has ever drug tested me. There’s a key to the door that opens our hangars, and then the planes don’t even have keys. If you can fly them, you can take The reason I’m telling you this is because if there’s a story on the news five years from now, and I’m accused of smuggling drugs around this beautiful country and I’m on the news going I didn’t do it. There’s no way I ever do this.

I did it. He’s fantastic. I like him a lot. He is Tommy Little. And that is your comedy news for today.

Because I have no voice, Tell a friend about the show see tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media, have me a clips day. I’m Chuckie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I just recorded an episode of five Good News Stories, Number five Good News Stories, and the first story there is all about the eclipse. If you’d like some eclipse fun facts. Did you see the moon is getting its own time zone?

Stephen Colbert joked it’ll be great for anyone who needs an excuse to day drink. Hey, it’s moon o’clock somewhere. Jimmy Kimmel said, this sounds like a fake project Trump would have given Mike Pence to keep him busy. Seth Myers said, in honor of the solar eclipse, Krispy Kreme is offering a glazed donut that’s dipped in black chocolate icing and top lit sprinkles, buttercream frosting, and an oriole that is true the joke. After a dozen of those, you will also block out the sun.

I have no voice today. I don’t know why. I don’t think the Mirror newspaper understands Tim Dillon’s comedy. The headline Tim Dillon has slammed baby boomers as a selfish generation who refused to retire. He was on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Dylan called boomers very sick people and called millennials a crap generation and want would be patted on the back for everything.

He then targeted Gen z as he claimed they should be drafted into wars so they can go die in Ukraine. Send you letters to Tim Dilon, not me. Tim said, I love the Boomers. They’re a selfish generation. The state of the Boomers is they are these very powerful people who refuse to leave their mansions.

They won’t retire. They diminish their children by saying, I can’t believe you canto in something like this. They like holding these houses over the kid’s head. They’re very sick people. They’re refuse to give up their jobs.

They’re emotional terrorists. And I grew up with them, and they’re very interesting people. They’ve proven the lie of the sixties. People thought they were progressive hippies. They were not.

They were actually just selfish drug addicts. They just wanted to get high and roll around in the mud. He then called them the funniest generation that ever lived. Nobody is funnier because to be funny you kind of have to not care. No one has cared less about the future of this planet or the future of their children, about anything but the boomers.

Then he called them millennials a crap generation where they’re like pinametal on me, put a ribbon on me. I’m right. I went to the college, I got the right internship, I believe the right things. I tweeted the right thing, I have the right politics. Millennials are these kind of ambitious people that want to constantly be patted on the back told how great they are.

He switched to gen Z, and while he did have some kind of things to say about them, he’s still went after them. He said, gen Z, your self starter is very skeptical of institutions and cynical. That’s some of their positive qualities. They’re more negative qualities are the murder, filming murders and fentonyl vapes and we need a draft. To be honest, young people should just go into the military.

No, that’s going to be a controversial thing to say. But if they’re just going to do fentanyl and attack each other in malls and put it on TikTok, they can go diye in Ukraine. Send your letters to Tim Dillon Again, I haven’t heard this yet, but I’m guessing Tim was joking and doing the type of material he does on his podcast. But as I’ve been saying all along, at some point, I’m going to distance myself from Tim Dillon be Like I never said Tim was funny. He’s horrible, but he hasn’t been canceled yet, so for now, he’s funny.

Someone on Twitter said hating everyone because hate. Another said boomers are far from selfish. They’re go up to be hard workers with morals and ethics passed down by their parents. Joe Rogan on his podcast said, I can’t remember time in my life where things seemed so unhinged. He feels like things could go sideways.

What’s terrifying is if you’re willing to let’s just say, what Israel’s doing to Gaza, If you’re willing to almost eliminate a city, just bomb the f out of a city and kill who knows how many innocents? What is it? What are the numbers? Is thirty thousand? I don’t know what the numbers are.

What’s the line that keeps you from dropping a nuke that kills three hundred thousand? What’s the line? Why do we have this idea won’t accelerate to that when it has in the past. Is it because we only did it once in Japan in nineteen forty five? Is that what it is?

Mark Marin has Carol Burnett on his podcast today, I’m looking forward to that. Kristin Wigg hosted SNL and joined the Five Timers Club and joked, it’s not even that special. E w wrote, you know what. She’s right. There was a time when the show’s rituals like joining the Five Timers Club carried a degree of fun, if not exactly wait, but today’s rudderless, leaderless era, these elements of the show have become just so perfunctory.

I know it, you know what. The show clearly knows it, the comedy equivalent of decades of scar tissue in cartilage. The show’s habits and superficial fan service increasingly challenged the entire purpose of being a live comedy show. As it approach is fifty, it’s never been clear that SNL may need some profound rejiggering or revamping to capture that danger that made it a cultural institution in the first place. Bill Mohre had met friend on the show.

A lot of people like met friends. Trump impression. It’s okay, but I think there’s better ones. Let’s listen. You remember that time I met you in the in the club Mombaugh in New York.

Do you remember that president? Okay, Well, Moomba is a great place. It sounds like the name of an African American in the NBA. This is Mumbai, number seventeen on the Lakers. Mumba.

Remember it was on Seventh Avenue Downtown. It was the spot. I mean, I wasn’t surprised that you were there. Well, actually I actually created Mumba. It was a great place.

I invented Mumba. Well, Moomba is a great friend of mine. I know the guy Mumba very well. Mumba. He was in that great movie Coming to America, which was great with Eddie Murphy Moomba Surphy.

But mount Boomba is a smart and tough guy, right, He’s a tough guy. Okay. Magazine got my attention with the headline drunk, washed up. Comedian Roseanne Barr mocked for unhinged rent during Carrie Lake’s fundraiser at Mara a Lago. Barr released a statement ahead of the event, who wrote, on my way to Mara Lago to help support the great Cararie Lake.

We must try to vote our way out of this for at least one year, and if that doesn’t work hashtag seventeen seventy six. I assume that is enthusiasm for the wonderful restaurant, Morristown, New Jersey. A video of Bar showed up on Twitter, where Barr says, so, I’m just going to say to you, please drop out of college because it’s going to ruin your lives. Do me a favorite dropout. They don’t teach you nothing good.

Email me or Twitter me or whatever you call me, and I’ll help you with your life. But you got to get out of college because it is nothing but a bunch of devil worshiping, baby blood drinking Democrat donors. Several social media users shared the clip and compared her to the drunk anted family that makes everyone uncomfortable. All right, my voice is going to give out, and I have to record Tuesday as well because I’m goofing off today with the eclipse. Let me tell you real quick.

Lonely Island they’re coming out with a podcast. I was excited about it, but maybe maybe it’ll just be okay. The podcast is out today. Seth Myers is involved with this. It is a podcast geared toward breaking down each of the Lonely Island digital shorts in chronological order, along with the backstory about what else was going on behind the scenes of SNL that week.

It’s called The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast out today and let me save my voice. I’ll play a bunch of clips from the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Harry Jin’s show is called Watermelon Licking. Let’s listen. I’m Harry John and I’m Harry John and we’re touring our new stand up comedy slash cartoon show, Watermelon Licking, all over Australia.

The name watermelon linking is based on a Korean proverb licking the outside of a watermelon. And it’ll be about karreane culture as well some other silly stuff, ah, Korean stuff. Did you know that Korea has the lowest birthright in the world. Well, you can either cry or you can laugh. True, we don’t know why we say ittle little all right, that’s okay.

He’s charismatic. Maybe not the best clip, but he’s charismatic. Simon Teelor’s show was called Big Time The Adelaide, Advertiser, Glamor, Adelaide, and the Age all gave it five stars. And here’s a clip of him on the Tonight Show, so it must be pretty good. Let’s see, Hello, this is fun.

The last fun thing I did before I came to America was I played monopoly with my parents. But they play monopoly by the modern rules. Do you know the modern rules of monopoly? That’s where my parents start with all the property and I just wait for them to die because they’re boomers. They’re so condescending me, Like, well, if you want to get into the housing market, millennials, maybe you should stop eating all that avocado on toast.

How dare Let’s do the math for the boomers. Okay, twenty five bucks a pop for smashed avocado eggs coffee. You do that four times a month, that’s one hundred bucks a month. That’s twelve hundred bucks a year. So if I want to put a deposit on a house in an inner city suburb, I have to stop eating avocado toast for twenty to thirty thousand years.

There’s no way into the marga for my generation. They don’t cater auctions to millennials. There’s no auction here going. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction just for the under thirty fives here today, just for the millennials here in the beautiful suburb of Outer Outer Manhattan, Kansas. We’re in Kansas.

Should have just said that fantastic. I like him a lot.

All right, Let’s see one more Dean Simpson and his dad.

This show is called The King, and I so maad, thank you so much. I love it. I get this question a lot. Okay. So both my parents are Aboriginal.

Yeah, that’s and I know I don’t look you know. That’s why what happened is that my granddad on my mom’s side was a white fellow. Yep. So I don’t know how that makes me Indian, but you lot adamant that I am. The thing is is that I’m the lightest in my family right the I’m the youngest in my generation, and I’m the dad Reckons.

The Texter just ran out of color, you know what I mean. Like it’s crazy. My eldest brother black, like he’s dark. He’s rule back. They call him Midnight, that’s how black he is.

He calls me seven thirty. He’s Dean Simpson. I like him a alright, let me save my voice and wrap it up here today. That’s your comedy news. If you enjoy the show, tell a friend about it.

See you tomorrow, Happy eclipse.

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.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. It’s Saturday, and I love Saturday, and nothing I like more than spending the entire day on my laptop doing my taxes, my kids taxes, my late mom’s taxes. Oh, today is going to be so much fun. Matt Rife, I tell you he’s got to deal with Netflix.

Part of that is a comedy series. I guess it’s a sitcom. Comedy series is the language they’re using. It takes place at a gym. On the marysoud dot com, Rachel Weisman did not react well to that, and she wrote, I guess we learned the wrong lessons from Matt Rife’s Netflix special Natural Selection.

Remember when he turned on his entire fan base during the special. None of that matters, apparently, because now he’s on the path towards even more Netflix content. Yay, Well, at least he’s going back to his roots. His next special will be Netflix’s first all CrowdWork special, So I guess you won’t hear jokes rich by Rife, but instead just watch a show that’s a longer version of his TikTok videos. Speaking to Deadline, he’d previously talked about acting and how much he loves it more than stand up.

Raife said, I love acting just as much, if not more than stand up. I just haven’t been doing it as long, and I haven’t been able to get my foot in the door as well as I have would stand up. But now that I have freedom and success via stand up, it opens up avenues in other areas that I’m passionate about, like film and television that I’m hoping I can make that transition over to because it can only feed itself. Rachel writes, this sounds like hell. Rife has proven that has written jokes lean towards sexism, So why would I want to see an entire show where he’s acting out said jokes.

The workplace comedy setup has been done time and time again, and while the deal simply says that he can do it, I don’t really want to see what it means fun see. I’m all in favor of more Matt Rife content because I like controversy. The eight hundred Pound Guerrilla talked to Kyle Kinnean about his recent special I gave you Five Days? Did I give you five days? Tesday One said, there’s Friday, I gave you four and a half days to watch Kyle Kanaine’s special.

I had mentioned I think in that special about ten minutes in there’s an all timer bit. I’m about to spoil what the bit’s about. I’m not going to discuss any of the jokes, but by listening to me further you will find out what the all Time bit is about. You’ve been warned ready eight hundred prown Gerilla said, you’re bitting a new special about the Fast and the Furious franchise is inspired. Kyle said, I mean, we all know what they are.

It’s not going to go down as one of the best films of the century, but go have fun with it. People like Star Wars, I don’t care about that. These are my Star Wars, that’s my Marvel Universe. Gorilla was curious about the construction of a bit, and Kyle said, I think you just have to allow yourself to get carried away sometimes. Let’s see how far I can go before the audience is like, okay, we’re now off board from this premise.

What bit took the longest to come together? In this new special, Kyle said, the full special, most of it is just a forty five minute story about moving to the suburbs. But stuff like this isn’t a conscious effort, Like this story starts here and ends there. You just start telling you one night and then you remember another detail. You can add into it, another story that seemed unrelated.

But I can put into this before you know it, You’re talking for forty five minutes about moving to the suburbs. So I’ll chime in here. As I said the other day, I loved the special, but it was like the difference between two beers and nine beers. And I was loving it, and seventy five minutes in, I was like, okay, can we wrap this up? I went from like oom, is this gonna beat a tell or be up there with a tell?

To okay, can we stop already? And I really liked it. I’m trying to explain my emotions here. I both really liked it and thought it was too long. And that’s what she said.

I’m sorry, I had to do it. It was right there you were thinking it. I had to. I know. I try and keep it clean here, but it was right there.

Michael Scott does it. John Hehugh was saying, you aspire to be Michael Scott. Yeah, maybe I digress. So if Kyle it’s got forty five minutes about moving to the suburbs, maybe that could have been one special, and then the Fast and the Furious stuff with some other things could have been another special, and I would have went, oh, both specials are amazing. Again.

It was really good. It was just too long. You’re thinking it. Stop thinking it. I didn’t say anything that time, thought it on your own.

My mic just crashed again. This is that’s my mom’s ghost. My mom didn’t like that humor. There see, I got to keep it clean heer. Brian Reagan spoke to the Montecito Times.

They wrote, critics, fans, and fellow comics love him, including Jerry Seinfeld, who had him guessed on two episodes of Comedians and Cars Getting Coffee. Times was curious how Reagan’s approach to comedies changed over the years. Brian said, I want to talk about things that are interesting to me. When I was younger, my material was about coming out of my childhood. I had Little League baseball routines and things about feeling stupid in school.

But now I like to touch on things that are maybe a little bumpy or edgy, which might surprise people, right. Imagine if Brian Reagan suddenly went into it that’s what she said, that would be pretty edgy. I still don’t want my audience to get to the point where they feel uncomfortable or wish they hadn’t come. But I do like to talk about guns and crime and philosophy in a lighthearted way as possible. But I do sneak a point of view in there.

I think sometimes audiences might go, WHOA, we didn’t expect this. We’re the donut sprinkle jokes. Yeah, you gotta be careful of those audiences. You know, you might be this comic on the rye and suddenly you tell a horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift. I mean, remember Joe Coy did that one time.

If you don’t remember, let me refresh your memory. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Oh that’s so mean. It’s just cruel.

I mean, Joe Coy, what are you doing? I wonder Taylor Swift apparently murdered his career. He deserved it for that one. That was just vicious. I mean, suggesting that they showed tailor shift on football games.

How dare you new? Vo dot Net spoke to Brad Williams, who said it first, having Dwarfism was a great benefit to his career because people wanted to put me on all their shows. They wanted to have something different on their shows. So at first, when you’re different, it helps because you check a box and you get put on shows that you probably don’t deserve to be on. They need somebody who doesn’t look like every other person on the show, so it helped me at first.

But once you start getting good agents and club owners and all that, just see he was the gimmick they don’t see as a person who’s just really good at comedy. So that was the challenge I had overcome. Now I’m in theaters and it’s taken me twenty years. When people say, oh, Brad Williams, he came out of nowhere, I’m like twenty year overnight sensation. Okay.

Sure. Brad was apparently the first comedian to headline a Cirque to Soligh show. He told the story, they reached out to my manager, Barry and they said, hey, we’re thinking about having a comedian in a Cirk show. Who do you think would work? My manager’s first response was Brad Williams.

Cirk was like, cool, that’s great. We’re gonna look at some other people too. They did for a month and they came back to my manager and said we looked and yeah, you’re right, Brad Williams is who we want. My first reaction was hell, yes, I liked being part of a team. It was a challenge to go on after the guys who literally juggle each other with their feet, but it was fun to try and win people over who weren’t exactly there for stand up comedy, but I would and it was great.

I love doing it. Sorry, I couldn’t stay there longer do more, but it was coming to a time where I was like, well, I could stay here, do circ to Sleigh and make this money for the rest of my life, or I could bet on myself and go solo. He said, Thank god I did, because so I was still in Vegas, I wouldn’t be playing the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis.

All right, Let’s see who’s at the Melbourn Comedy Festival on Sunday, April s…

Again. The way time zones work you know if the mill burner has got up today and grabbed the episode. They’re like, John, it’s already Sunday here. I don’t know why you’re telling us who’s playing Saturday night. So that’s why I don’t do that.

I’m telling you who’s playing Sunday night? And I actually have the website loaded for once. Now you’re probably thinking, John, you lying to us. Did you record Friday and Saturday back to back and the website was already loaded? Busted?

You think I would actually remember to load it? Now? What’s weird? When I pulled up the Sunday page. Usually I have vertical lines.

Here, today I have boxes. I don’t know why they gave me boxes. Today, here’s a show that supposedly has a clip. We know how that goes. It’s Adam McKenzie hacked and with the box here I can see his graphic.

It looks like a man in a suit, and where the head should be is a monitor like a TV monitor, like an old four x three size monitor, with a man, presumably Adam McKenzie making a funny face the description. In September twenty two, Adam was part of Australia’s largest ever cybersecurity disaster. In this hilarious new show, Adam dives deep into the dark web uh oh, and finds out just how much of our identities they’ve stolen. The age gave it four stories, and let’s listen all the edits you’re about to hear and the bleep those are in Adam’s clip. I did not make any of these edits, but I have listened to this clip already.

You’re gonna like it. I also used to watch when I was sixteen years old, a little TV show called Beverly Hills nine No. Two. Juan, Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. I’ll give you an episode synopsis, Frandra Kelly.

They were fighting over a role in the school play and it got really intense. Guys, but then they realized their friendship was way more important and they became best friends again. You what could teenagers like to watch these days? Yeah? They watched a little teen drama called Euphoria.

Do you want an episode synopsis from you? Fouri? Okay? Nate watches every one of these dad’s sex tapes.


Meanwhile, Ashtraye Murder’s mouth with a hammerco Oh my god, Oh my god, what…

Brandon and Brenda had the front it on balling plants you stopt about their parents.


Meanwhile, Room wid a Bob oh Laurie, She’s dropping hero.

Wow, that’s really good like him alt Adam Mackenzie. That show is called a hacked Let’s do one without a clip. Alexander Hudson’s show is called Making Lemonade. Alexandra believes if society thinks of her as a lemon, she might as well use them to make herself some sweet lemonade. Alexander explores her experiences as a disabled woman and challenges the misconceptions held about her.

Alexander took joint first place in Raw Comedy in twenty twenty two. That is a Big Award and was a twenty twenty three Comedy Zone cast member. No reviews. Jess Pierman’s show is called Champagne Problems. It’s a classic stand up about human behavior, beauty, standards in society gone wrong, privilege and partying, all delivered in a punchline heavy and confronting show.

If you’re a fan of the dark, the filthy, and the philosophical, this show’s not to be missed. Easily offended need not apply, but it’s for audiences fifteen and up, no reviews, and as my computer just reminded me, I have a conference call in nine minutes. That means that your comedy is for today. Could I do a quick story here? Danis Lass spoke to the Telegraph in India and they said, in Indio, where we used to stand up comedian switching between two or three languages, which is not the case in the UK.

Do you enjoy that approach to a show? Daniel Sloss said, yeah, I do enjoy watching Indian comedians do their punch lines in Hindi and their setups in English. Yeah. I noticed that on the UH there’s a version I don’t want to misspeak to which language it is, but there’s a foreign language version of the Office that is switching between English and I think Hindi. You’ll find that on Hulu.

It’s fun, but they just go back and forth, and I figured out I can read captions. It makes the comedy hard to follow, but there’s something very fun about mixing it up like that. I can somewhat relate to the fact if I’m getting particularly angry for a joke, or I’m performing in Scotland, I have a thicker accent than I do anywhere else in the world. They asked, in what ways is Daniel Sloss the performer different. I’m Daniel Sloss, the person, Daniel said, I guess I’m more arrogant on stage.

I’m actually confident off it, but I’m not an in your face piece of crap. I guess I’m definitely more insecure in real life. I think I’m a nicer person in real life. Maybe I’m much friendlier when I’m on stage. In real life, I’ll not talk to anyone, but on stage I’ll talk to people quite happily.

And that’s because I don’t have to listen to their feedback. That’s the problem with conversations. Other people get input, and that’s your comedy news. Johnny Max got a conference call. Follow the show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, wherever you get your shows.

Tell a friend about it. See tomorrow
