Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Yesterday was a little angsty, but Johnny Mack is here to bring the fun back. And who’s more fun than Joe Cooy. That’s right, Joe Cooy is recording a Netflix special this weekend.
That’s pretty cool. Two shows tonight somewhere at eight o’clock at the Adventist Health Arena in Stockton. Jason Perry is the general manager, and he said, to have a globally recognized comedian and choose our arena in our community for a project of this scale speaks volumes about the market, the fans, and the experience we deliver. Now, if you’re saying to yourself, Johnny Mack, Joe Koy, that name sounds familiar. Who’s he again?
Can you remind us? So? Sure, I’ll remind you. Joe Coy hosted the Golden Globes for one year, and when he did, he just told this horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift. She did not appreciate this vicious, horrible joke at all.
She made a stoneface, didn’t laugh the way Leo DiCaprio did it jokes about him. No, she let Joe cooin O, this is not funny. As you know. We came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL.
On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift. I saw this on threads. Somebody posted Bill Burr’s audience is still roasting him NonStop in his YouTube comments over that comedy show in Saudi Arabia. His videos get about four times as many dislikes as likes now and I was curious about this, So let’s start with the comments. I’m here on YouTube.
It is Bill Burr’s episode titled Siantle EarPods Drugs from one nine to twenty six. One commenter wrote, damn lost thirty thousand viewers l L. Another wrote Bill thinks he’s George Carlin, but he’s really George Costanza. Another bill never forgot what was like to be on the streets because whenever he moves up a floor, he buys a stronger telescope. Another comment one point five million dollars from Trump and Bill will be performing for the oil rig workers in Venezuela in no time.
Wow, Bill Burr is everything he made for one of ten years ago. Total lack of self awareness. Next, Old Billy, Keep ignoring it and it’ll go away, Burr. Next one, This is brutal every time. Just address it and move on.
Next, Bill, stop acting like you’re a blue collar person. You get the idea. So I looked at the numbers again. The premise of the Threads post is that his numbers are quite down, so I went back. Now, understand that a video will have a long tail, right, so the longer that it’s up, people will discover it more and more over time, So it makes sense that an older episode has more views than a newer episode, and these are YouTube views.
Probably know on the audio side, Bill Burr’s podcast numbers are way up. They could be ten times up. We have no way of knowing that, but I just randomly needle dropped on a few episodes from February twentieth, twenty twenty five. That video has sixty three thousand views. One from June ninth has forty two thousand, one from November seventh, which should have a long tail by now, has twenty two thousand, and the January ninth video had twenty thousand and change.
So make of that what you will. I was curious how other podcasts do Again, the January nine Bilburg has twenty thousand, and I was like, how does Nateland do. The nate Land podcast from January fourteenth has thirteen, eight hundred and seventy five yews, which is not a lot, like really really not a lot. But as part of that I found out maybe everybody else knew this already. I somehow missed this.
The Nateland podcast is ending. Nate Burghetzi is stepping away from the Nateland Podcast. He told listeners that after roughly five years and nearly three hundred episodes, it’s time to focus on his next act movies, TV, and yes, the theme park. I think Nate is crazy, but you know, I’m doing this in the basement and he’s building a theme park, so maybe I’m the crazy one. Nate says, everything I’m trying to do going forward is I want you to be able to do it with your family.
As I record this, there should be one more Nateland with Nate coming and then the rest of the gang I think is going to continue on the same feed, but with a new name on the podcast.
Speaking of podcasting, ego Nuotam Will host the twenty twenty six iHeart Pod…
Yes, once again celebrities will take over podcasting. People are still all I rate that Amy Pohler won the Golden Globe when now it’s the iHeart Podcast Award. Nominees for Podcast of the Year include Amy Poehler, The Reakfast Club, The Mel Robins Podcast, and Pablo Torri finds out The Daily The Rest is History this past weekend with Theo Vaughn call Her Daddy, Heavyweight, and Giggly Squad. I’m going to root for. Pablo Tory finds out the best Comedy Podcast.
The nominees are good hang with Amy Poehler, The Toast, Handsome, The Basement Yard, and something called Distractable. Now, if the rest of you were like, yeah, John, we all know distractable. What is wrong with you? I had to look it up and I’ll remind you as much as I suck. I host this every day, and I work in podcasting and blog and write and consu and everything about podcasting all day long when I’m not doing this, And I was like, what is distractable?
And apparently it is a comedy podcast with guy’s name Mark, Wade and Bob and it’s a space to have thoughtful discussions about funny out there or otherwise interesting stories from everyday life. They’ve got almost a million followers on YouTube. Let’s see how they’re doing versus Bill Burr. Okay, their most recent episode from six days ago has one hundred and thirty four thousand views. One from three weeks ago has one hundred and seventy thousand views.
So distractable is I don’t know. Somebody do the math? Seven times as popular as Bill Burr right now? Is that what we’re saying? Anyway, Congratulations to those guys on both being successful and somehow never coming up once in seven years of show prep on this show.
There were a lot of shows out there. I’m gonna root for them. Hope they win Best Comedy, Best Ad Read nominees Conan Call Her, Daddy, my Brother, my Brother, and Me, Dudes on Dudes, and Distractable, Okay, Best Host, Amy Poehler, Pablo Torri, Alex Cooper, Emma Chamberlain, Caleb Hron, Yougo, Pablo XXL caught up with Josh Johnson. They were curious how hip hop influences the comedy world. Josh said, a lot of comics wish that they were rappers.
Even the trouble you see comics getting into. Sometimes you’ll like, you’re trying to be a rapper, that’s what’s happening. There’s no reason for a comedian to get shot. Their comedian is getting caught up like they’re really about that life and they’re like, why you do jokes? How are you moving that you ended up getting shot in the thigh?
I mean, that’s not funn Why are you laughing, Johnny Mackle, someone got shot in the thigh and you’re laughing. You’re a jerk. Johnny Mack’s the worst. He’s no Jay Leno, but he’s pretty bad. XXL asked Josh.
What about hip hop inspires your approach to comedy. Josh said, I approach comedy the way I imagine a lot of rappers approach hip hop. It’s a very narcissistic endeavor to get up on stage and feel like you have the most to say and you really deserve to be there. You have to believe it’s true. Even if you have a humble approach to the craft, you have to believe that you’re one of the best to do it and then put that belief into your work.
As for rappers that you think would make good stand up comics, Eminem for timing, he’s good at timing, fifty cent for content. The way he roast, it’s like it’s coming from a place that’s so deeply funny. When he goes in on somebody, it’ll be like, Wow, this is crazy, this is what a comic would do. Good interview there, Dan Soder. He’s friends with former Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, and Dan Soder is really upset at Troy Aikman.
Soder was on the Soder podcast Let’s see how that’s doing all right? The Dan Soder podcast, episode one fourteen, posted two days ago, has one hundred and seventy one thousand views. So back to the original premise of Bill Burr Wow, or maybe people just don’t like Bill Burr’s podcast. I don’t know something’s going on. Everybody else has numbers way bigger than Bill Burr.
Right now, I digress. Dan Soder was on the Soder podcast Good Booking, and he ripped Dolphin’s owner Stephen Ross, calling mister Ross an old F word and claimed that Troy Aikman, who’s been brought in as an unpaid advisor for Miami’s GM search was behind Mike McDaniel’s firing. Soder said of his friend McDaniel, in fact, I think he’s better off because I think it’s a crappy organization. He said. McDaniel has been his buddy since the seventh grade.
As for the Dolphins, I think it’s ran by an old f that stabbed Mike in the back after he told him he was gonna be right for another season and f the Dolphins. Mike McDaniel coached the Dolphins for four years. He went thirty five and thirty four, did not win any playoff games. He was fired sixteen months after he signed a three year extension. He’ll be okay financially.
I guess wonder how much money made. Let’s look that up Sports Illustrated reports. While exact figures are unknown, it’s estimated to be at three and a half to four and a half million dollars, with some reports saying eighteen million dollars. As part of his extension internet account. ML Football broke it down and according to them, Mike McDaniel will make thirty plus thousand dollars per day to not coach football games.
They broke it down again. I don’t have then and trusting these guys per month nine hundred and sixteen grand per minute, twenty dollars and ninety three cents. So while you’re listening to this podcast today, Mike McDaniel made a couple hundred bucks, so he’ll be all right, Dan Soder, you gotta let this one go. Now, how is Troy Aikman to blame for all this? Soder said, when you watch football as a fan, you notice when broadcasters are slanted for or against you.
Having a friend that’s an NFL coach, you listen more and people talk about your friend, and Troy Aikman craps on McDaniel in a way that’s like he doesn’t like Mike. Now, apparently Troy Aikman was critical of the Dolphins strategy during a recent Monday night football loss to the Steelers. The Dolphins lost that game at twenty eight to fifteen as they trailed Haul of Famer. Troy Aikman, who has won three Super Bowls themselves, said this is just a bizarre last few series. They don’t go hurry up.
Now they’re going hurry up and calling timeouts. It’s hard to understand exactly what the philosophy is or what they’re trying to do. Late Night are caught up with Rob Burnett. You may know Rob from being the head writer and executive producer on David Letterman’s late show. Night Or asked Rob, if Letterman was still at it during Trump two point zero, what would Dave be up to?
Rob said, I think Dave would be part of the conversation. He’s always been a person to speak his mind. When we weren’t doing political comedy a lot, I don’t think it was necessary. I don’t think politics occupied the consciousness of America the way it does now. Interesting here that Letterman learned a lesson when he tried to steer away from what America was talking about.
Burnett said, Dave didn’t make OJ jokes. Dave thought, I’m not going to make fun of a murder, but it was what the country was interested in. It hurt the show, and he started to make OJ jokes. Nowadays, it’s obvious what the country is interested in. Burnett said, I don’t know if I would be equipped to write a Colbert Kimmel Stewart monologue, but someone would, and I think Dave would be doing that.
We’ll come back to OJ jokes in a second. But Late Nights commented on did you see President Trump flipped the guy the bird the other day? Yeah, the President was visiting a Ford factory and flipped the middle figure at an auto worker who called the president a pedophile protector. Steve on Colbert and his writers with some grit eat stuff here. Colbert said, the man could have shouted pedophile, but until the full Epstein files released, that’s just an unverified claim, whereas pedophile protector is fairly in evidence at this point.
And that’s the kind of attention to detail you can expect in your f one fifty. Great, great joke, it’s a funny tag. The premise is great solid. That is a fantastic piece of material. Colbert also said, we were told there would be Epstein files.
In fact, you Trump presumably signed a law mandating that you’d have to release the Epstein files by the middle of last month, but you still haven’t. It kind of makes you seem like, what’s the phrase a pedophile protector? Back to OJ jokes, Remember Jay Leno, He used to make a lot of OJ jokes, and that guy’s the worst. No, I don’t mean OJ, I mean Jay Leno. I mean the way he comments on late nights sometimes until Jo just bringing the fun back today did.
And this guy the way he just he talks about late night comedy and takes care of his wife, Mavis. They’ve been married for forty five years and she battles dementia. This guy, he’s the worst. Jay Leno told Maria Shreiver. You take a vow when you get married, and people are stunned, they’re shocked when you live up to it.
My favorite thing. This is the most Hollywood thing. Guy said to me, So you’re gonna get a girlfriend now, and Leno said, no, I have a girlfriend. I’m married. We’ve been married forty five years.
You know what I mean. We’re kind of in this together. You can’t go, honey, I’ll be with my girlfriend. I’ll be back, Leader Leno till driver. He’s just doing the right thing because you’re supposed to.
That kind of used to be the norm.
And then when he strayed, that was the out of the whack part.
Now, the out of the whack part is fairly common, and staying and doing what you’re supposed to do is stunning to people. Why don’t you do that? Well, we kind of made a deal. Jay shrugged off the quote unquote toll that people assume it takes on Jay, he explained, I really haven’t been tested in my life. I wasn’t in the army.
I didn’t have to shoot anybody. So this is that thing. I’m glad of passing the test because you never quite know what you’re gonna do in that situation or any situation. So I’d like to think I made the right decision. As for Mavis, she’s not forgetting me.
That hasn’t happened yet. She seems extremely comfortable now, and she seems happy, and she seems contented. It’s actually okay. It’s good. I enjoy taking care of her.
Jay Leno the worst this weekend. On this the very program, Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Podcast drops by Mike had a list of the top ten late night hosts of all time, and they wanted me to react to it, and I reacted to it so much we wound up talking for like two hours. So we’ll split those conversations in half. I can tell you how long the episodes are. They’re already loaded.
Looks like you’re getting about thirty eight minutes on Saturday and forty minutes on Sunday, plus commercials now. I always forget to do this. If you want the commercials to go away, here’s what we do. You on Apple Podcasts and it’ll say uninterrupted listening, and you click that banner and then for five bucks a month, no commercials. Great way to sport the show and the commercials go away.
You do have to use the Apple podcast hap, but that’s a great way to do it and even more transparent. I can’t auto set that. It’s the bane of my existence. My host and company refuses to set this up the way some other hosts. Habita tries movie nanas.
So the show normally comes out of three oh five Eastern every day, but for the commercial free version, I have to make annually do that. So when I get up in the morning, the first thing I think is, oh, I got to upload the show. My wife tries to talk to me, and I go, I have to upload the show, and normally it’s there by like seven fifteen am Easter in the commercial free versions anyway, So if you don’t want any commercials, do that Apple Podcasts click uninterrupted listening. Great way to support the show. So this weekend, Mike and I talk about his top ten late night hosts of all time.
Monday morning Normal episode, and then Monday at noon Eastern Time, the Comedy Survivor results. Voting is now closed for this week.
And now let’s check in with Burt Reynolds and the Comedy stock Market.
Comedy stock Markets. I’ve got some new listeners to the show, so let me just explain this once one more time. Here what we do, so every week we buy and sell stock in comedians. Now, this is not saying somebody is good or bad. The idea of the comedy stock market is to make a profit.
Sell high, buy low. So that’s why we’re going to sell Nikki Glaser. Oh she’s fantastic, she’s at peak right now. But you sell hih and you buy low. Let’s get out on Nikki Glaser.
Cash in our money, go buy a beach house with her Nikki Glaser money. We did really well there, but it’s time to sell Nikki Glaser. Now we’ll take some of that money and let’s buy some Trevor Noah, the Grammys are coming up. People haven’t really noticed that Trevor Noahs about to resurface. He’s very charismatic.
He always does a great job. So let’s buy a little Trevor Noah. Let’s sell bow and Yang. Do we even have any Bowen Yang stock left? If we do, let’s sell it.
I am not sure at all what his post SNL career is going to be. I’m struggling to figure out what it is. He’s got lost culturistas. He had a bad week earlier in the week when people tried to cancel him. I’m just not sure where we were heading with Bowen Yang.
So let’s just sell out. Let’s also sell Pete Davidson. Yes, I’m upset that they’re calling that thing a podcast. It’s not a podcast. It is a television show that you watch on Netflix.
In no way whatsoever is that a podcast. But that beside the point. I don’t trust Pete day Davidson. I feel like Pete Davidson goes, hey, look at me, and then everybody looks at him, and then he walks away from things. I understand he struggles with mental health.
I wish the man well, but I don’t trust that Pete Davidson’s about to host one hundred episodes of this television show. So I want no part of it. Let’s sell our Pete Davidson, Let’s sell our Tignataro. She’s one of the comedians, along with Genias Sheer and Patton Oswalt, who have helped to destroy the Star Trek brand. Tignatario is on this horrible, horrible, horrible Starfleet Academy show.
You think I’m kidding about how goofed up that brand? Is? I just looked they put the premiere episode up on YouTube. It’s got twenty thousand views, twenty thousand for Star Trek? Are you kidding me?
So, Tignatario, you’re part of the problem. We’ll sell our Tignataro. And you know who we’re gonna buy, Joe Rogan. I feel like Joe Rogan has come around and he sees what’s going on, and he’s realizing it’s all insane. And Joe Rogan’s got a big enough platform to say something about it.
Whatever you think of Rogan or not, he’s got a big platform. And I feel like Joe has seen the light. So we’re gonna sell Nikki, sell Bowen, sell Pete Davidson, sell Tignazaro by Trevor by Rogan speaking of Tignatarro Out Magazine talk to her about the horrible Starfleet Academy show. I guess Tig is now a coach. She was an engineer in the Discovery episodes that she was actually in, and then there’d be some weeks her character, who is the chief engineer, just like wouldn’t be in it for some reason, conspiciously absent.
I don’t know what was going on there. I guess she’s a touring comedian. Apparently she teaches it Starfleet Academy now and Out magazine was curious how far is the particular role of coach from the real Tignazarro. Tig said, I always joked that I’m just tigging space. Oh, by the way, she was on Kimmel the other day and she did the Vulcan hand salute and she said she didn’t know what it was called, and I wanted to just smash my television.
Did Johnny mack takes his Star Trek very very seriously? Tignataris said, I always joked I’m just taking space. But the reality is I don’t really like loud noises, so whistle is out ALMOSTO a high school dropout, So I think my teaching skills might be terribly lacking. Well, I love the idea of being this confident, whistleblowing, clipboard holding tough guy. Real life Meat would probably be like, yeah, you’re all doing great.
I assume jet Reno her character has real authority. I have quiet and dry observations. So same tig at different galaxy, wildly different comfort level with sports equipment. Tracy Morgan fans, pay attention. NBC woke up out of bed and decided, you know what, let’s do a special early premiere of Tracy Morgan’s new comedy, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.
Yes, a hilarious new comedy will make its debut Sunday at ten Eastern or so, following coverage of the playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears. Then when you’re all excited about that show, you’ll have to wait till Monday, February twenty third, when they’ll rerun that episode and then follow it up with a new episode of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. And that is your comedy news for today. All right, Tomorrow, Mike and I talk of Late Night ho that was a normal episode on Monday you have an awesome weekend. I’ll see around
