That’s Challenger the Eagle. Hi, I’m Johnny Mac with the afternoon Daily Comedy News update. Remember turn of the century, Challenger of the Eagle would be like Yankee playoff games. Well, they made a statue with him. A little beat up over the years, but that’s him there and he’s part of today’s b role for Daily Comedy News.
As I take you to my weekly beach volleyball game, We’re about to play a seven to thirty PM game. I recorded this last Wednesday when I went on over to beach volleyball. Jimmy Carr is being considered to be one of the hosts of a reboot of top Gear. Now, I love Jimmy Carr. If you ever get a chance to see Jimmy Carr, he is fantastic.
Don’t miss Jimmy Carr when he comes to your neighborhood. My initial reaction to this was Jimmy Carr top Gear. Aside from the obvious like car pun. Okay, that is kind of funny, But I was like, I don’t know Jimmy Carr hosting top Gear. Love Jimmy love top Gear.
Not sure the to mix well, but I texted had one of my friends who loves top Gear and he was all in on it. So we will see a source tells of the Sun newspaper, not the actual Sun, and you probably figure that out. Our production has their set sight on Jimmy. He’s the ideal host to take the show into a new era and revive top Gear. So that’s interesting as well because the Amazon Grand Tour series is coming out with a new cast and maybe top Gear feels like they can steal the thunderback from Jeremy Clarkson and friends.
We are told Jimmy Carr is a real car buff two so it would be a passion project and they’re looking to pair him up with a woman and quote unquote online celebrities and I don’t know, I don’t know. Three dudes and cars just do that? Who online celebrity? No, that just don’t don’t don’t hope.
Speaking of cars, The Verge caught up with w Comel Bell and asked him they di…
They asked Comel what is the most unappreciated app? He said, I probably use the map app every day. I wish map Quest app was better, so it didn’t have to use the Trump billionaire as guy’s apps. You know who I’m talking about, I actually know. I mean, are we talking about Apple Maps, Gooba Maps, wheez an they’re billionaire or something?
Trump Billionaires is map Quest some sort of like hippie free open world. I don’t know. Come out says the map apps that have the Gulf of Mexico listen is the Gulf of America. So embarrassing. Here’s my idea.
I was driving home over the weekend. If you use ways, you know, hell like, you can like help other drivers and push the button and say like, yeah, this is a speed trap there, or there’s traffic that kind of thing. We need a hole detector. So here’s what’s gonna happen. I’m this is a real thing.
I was on I eighty. I’m in the middle of lane, out of my own business, and one of those jerk holes comes up and passes me on the right and is doing, you know, three times the speed limit. What I want to be able to do is push a button that warns somebody half a mile ahead of me that there’s a jerk coming. We need this. I try and keep the show clean.
I have an idea for what to call it, but uh, you know, ahole detector is pretty close, So let me know if you like that idea. Kat Williams is getting back into golf. Cat will serve as the en course correspondent for the Thursday and Friday rounds of the PGA Tours Tour Championship but Atlanta East Lake Golf Club, the final event of the twenty twenty six fed Ex Playoffs. Gat Williams, who’s fifty four, said, I think I still have the ability of the age to still play professionally if I do get a few things taken care of. If that happens, then the rest of the world will open up for me pretty organically.
There’s no other sport where you could even dream of such a thing, you know, I don’t know. I know some old guys that play beach volleyball on Wednesday nights. Here, let’s look point for them. Cat said he took eight shots off his handicap. I was able to do that with just a couple adjustments.
I was trying to get as good as I could before I started taking lessons, which I guarantee you’re gonna get me better.
