Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’m gonna joke forgot to Swallow. Why don’t you do the open a second time? John, because that’s not fun.
That’s what actually happened there. I was so excited. I think you’re feeling where my mood has been lately. I just want to do silly things after a month of angst. So let’s start with that guy, Jay Leonard.
Remember Jay Leno, He used to host the Tonight Show for like twenty two years, and then he’ll pop off as if he knows anything about late night comedy. That guy, he is the worst. Listen to what he’s doing. Now. Now, this guy Jay Leno, he’s gonna serve as the Grand Marshal at the Harley Davidson Love Ride.
Yeah, the November ninth, Southern California. They’re trying to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project and adopt the Arts. It’s gonna feature music from Gene Simmons from Kiss Robert Patrick, remember the guy from Terminator too, the bad guy in Terminator two. Yeah, he’s gonna be there, and Jay Leno is going to be the Grand Marshal. For the Love Ride, which has raised more than twenty five million dollars benefiting more than a dozen charitable organizations.
Let’s know what Jay Leno had to say. I’ve written alongside thousands a Love Ride for years. I’m looking forward to doing it again. Cheers to making Love Ride thirty four A memorable one. This guy the nerve of this guy.
All right, I gotta choose now to Jim gaff again again or Joey did is John Stewart’s story. But the John Stuart story is political. But I like to move the stories around. We did a lot of gafficing yesterday, so let’s do. Let’s do John Stewart, Okay, John Stewart, I was talking about did you see the video last weekend?
It was an AI video of the President of the United States wearing a crown jumping diarrhea on people. Did you see this one? Mike Chishen, did you hear me going to the letterman delivery right there? That was totally letterment when I did that. Did you see this one?
Total Dave flift? John Stewart said, I think my favorite part of it was Republicans who were asked about said diarrhea plane having to say things like, well, you know, the American people know that Donald Trump speaks his mine and they really appreciate his honest reaction of the diarrhea plane. Stuart continued, Mike Johnson was the best speaker of the House. Mike Johnson, what do you make of the president showing a video of him dropping diarrhea from a plane onto American people who were expressing their dissatisfaction Stuart, as Johnson said, well, the President, you know, he’s very satirical. Stuart said, you know, I appreciate the satire and I’m not offended, not as American but as a comedian.
What is this? What exactly is this? What is the satire? I’m just curious. Oh, it’s diarrhea from a plane.
I get it now, good one, sir. Stuart joked that perhaps the diarrhea plane is a classified thing that Trump shouldn’t have talked about. Stuart said, I know they have a diarrhea plane. I don’t even know if that was classified. That could have been classified information that somehow got out.
Someone’s going to pay the price for that. That’s way worse than the signal chat all right. Jim gaffickan Bourbon Time case you missed yesterday, I was entertaining myself. Jim Gaffigan was profiled by Garden and Gunn, which continues to just confuse me. Why is it called that I went on their website and like thought I could go to like an about page or they would explain, like oh, in eighteen thirty four, James Madison something something.
I have no idea why it’s called Gardening gun Tom Wilms spoke with Jim Gaffigan, bourbon entrepreneur. Jim explains why the brand is called father Time One word, Jim says. The joke is that it’s not father time as in the time you spend with your kids. It’s the time that a father earns that the joy is earned. On the label is my grandfather, who made dentures.
He was the first in our family to break the cycle of like working in coal mines. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, Jim, making sure he doesn’t offend the coal minor comedy fan. Jim says, but his work made it possible for my father to go to college. I like to say that my father sacrifice made it possible for me to tell diarrhea jokes. Wow, I didn’t even plan this back to back diarrhea stories.
Welcome to Daily Comedy News. How’s your Sunday going, Garden and Gunn said, Bourbon is associated with the South, but of course it can be made anywhere in the US. Jim, do you have thoughts on Bourbon’s sense of place? Jim said, Because I get to tour around doing stand up, I’ve been able to acquire a bourbon from all fifty states. The thing I’ve come to understand is that, particularly in the Southeast, there’s a shorthand knowledge on bourbon.
If you go to a bar in Charleston or even Charlotte and asks for the whiskey list, it’s going to be much more extensive. Obviously, they are great whiskey bars throughout the country. Yeah, Jim, you don’t want to offend people not from the Southeast. There could be like some Southwest bourbon fans who are also coal miners. Be very very careful, Jim Gaffigan, You don’t offend anybody.
Ever, It’s very careful to point out here there are great whiskey bars throughout the country. Okay, you got it. Jim’s not saying only the Southeast has good whiskey bars and He’s fine if you’re a coal miner, all right. Jim is not here to offend you. But Jim says, what people think is an extensive whiskey list in some northern cities would be laughable in the southeast.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I’m from New York City. How dare you insult our whiskey list? Jim Gaffigan, Wait until I tell him my uncle was a coal miner. The nervous is this guy’s worse than Jay Leno Guardian and guns.
Jim, you towards some bourbon material in Kentucky. I can go back to talking about the Rio Comedy Festival if you wired. I just I just want to do this. Jim. You had toured some bourbon material in Kentucky and Tennessee earlier this year.
Jim said. The tour was called the Bourbon Whiskey Run, and it was prompted by a few things. My three brothers wanted to do another trip, so we hit places like Chattanooga and Owensboro that we hadn’t visited yet, and we did it by bus. Wait are you trying to tell me Jim Gaffigan was on a bus. He’s gotta have mine.
He’s gotta fly private, right, Jim Gaffigan private plane. Let’s see what comes up. Seems like he doesn’t. Jim tweeted twelve years ago, anyone have a private jet in Columbus, Ohio. I’m trying to get to Chicago from my show tonight.
I wish I was joking. All right, So Jim flies commercial, and apparently sometimes Jim Gaffigan takes the bus with his brothers. Yeah, sure, that’s how the story goes. Jim said, the bus trip coincided with my son’s spring break, and he opened for me a few times. I understood it would not have as broad appeal as my other stand up.
I’ve always prided myself on having stand up that appeals to diverse ages and mentalities. But this is more of a twenty one and up material. It helps if you’re over thirty and out of shape, guardian and gun or whatever that’s called. Ask Jim, is there anything different about developing a bourbon joke? Does bourbon help?
I’m sure bourbon helps. Jim once again does not want to offend anybody. He’s very careful with this answer. He says, obviously, both men and women drink bourbon. You don’t want to exclude anyone, Jim, be very careful.
You could lose, you know, zero zero one percent of your fan base. Obviously, both men and women drink bourbon, but I think the male relationship with bourbon being bourbon geeks, if you want to call that, is unique. Whoa you misogynist bourbon drinking? This guy’s worse than Jay Leno? Jay said, I’ve Jay leave it in.
Jim said, I’ve joked about this with other guys who were into bourbon because my wife considers it kind of a midlife crisis, and I’m like, this is better than having an affair. It sure is. That would be terrible if he broke up his marriage. Obsessing over bourbon and wanting to complete your collection is I’m not gonna say it. It’s healthy, but it’s more productive than doing something reckless and more accessible than collecting cars.
Is that a shot at Jay Leno? I could understand taking a shot at Jay Leno who collects a lot of cars, because that guy, he’s the worst. Did you hear him comment on late night television as if he knows anything? Gaffigan said, some people collect action figures, and I joked that bourbon bottles are like action figures filled with liquor. Oh there is more to this article, but I will move on because I can spidy.
Since you guys going, will you cut it out? Okay, I’ll cut it out. I can talk about Therio on Comedy FESTIL if you want. Michelle Wolf said. Someday, I’d really like to play Red Rocks out in Colorado.
I think that’d be really cool, especially because some great people have performed there. She told TV Insider. I’m also a very outdoorsy person, so combines all the things I love. I want to get into some writing. I want to do some scripted things.
I don’t have any desire to host any award shows just because I don’t think i’m the favorite person. Look if they asked me to do it, I’d be like, these are the kind of jokes you’re gonna get. I played her Saudi material on Thursday’s podcast. If you missed that and want a taste of that. But today we’re silly, Michelle Wolf said.
The last time I hosted something with the Correspondent’s dinner and they were like, we weren’t expecting that. I just like to let you know what you’re getting because that’s what I’m going to give you. I’m not necessarily going to give you a song or dance, but I’ll tell you what I think about it. There’s some shows I want to write, and hopefully I’ll get to do those in the near future. Eliza Slessinger, she’s out there hawking the Jeep grand Wagoneer.
Bunch of articles about Eliza, who’s clearly trying to sell you a jeep. We’re told the Jeep grand Wagoneer, this is not a commercial, this is me having fun. Is just sixty five thousand dollars, rugged, refined and has enough room for growing families. We’re told. Slussnger, one of the world’s premiere female comedians I guess that’s true, is known for her sharp wit and stand up comedy.
It includes insightful commentary on relationships, motherhood, and society comedy Rule of three. Eliza Slessinger said, I’m excited to work with the Jeep brand on this unconventional Jeep Grand Wagoneer ad campaign. I love that they went for something different and we’re open to paroting traditional vehicle reveals. The Jeep grand Wagoneer is beautiful, spacious and hopefully after seeing this film, there are more babies in the world ready to fill out those three rows. You think she said that, or you think somebody over at Jeep sent that over and go?
Can you prove this quote? So I’ve been doing this a long time. People approved quotes. Ol of our friends saw is the global chief marketing officer and said developed to run across only the Jeep brands social media channels. The family SUV featuring comedian Elizas Leusger does follow our underlying Jeep brand ethos, and that is to be memorable and put a smile on their faces.
Speaking of putting a smile on people’s faces, this put a smile on my face. I was working on some behind the scenes stuff here and running some data. Somebody asked me, hey, can you pull some stats? And pulled some stats and ran them through the chatchept there, and here’s what we learned about you, not me. You.
Here’s who’s listening to daily community is, according to artificial intelligence, the audience scus mid career to early jen X professionals and dads who grew up on Letterman, John Stewart and talk radio. Well from the host chair being oh eighty to eighty five percent of you or in the US. Then there’s Mike Chisholm, who listens in Canada. He’s the entire Canadian fan base. Thank you, Mike.
Some other listeners in the UK and Australia would love to hear from you guys. Facebook group, jump in Daily Companies podcast group. But I especially liked the psychographic we are told you, dear listener, listen daily for consistency, humor, and perspective. You prefer wits over outrage, and this is what made me laugh. You respond to clever grumpiness.
Love it boy. I have so much leftover stuff I might have to do just like an extra episode just to catch up.
Let’s talk about Bob odenkirk Men’s journal ast Bob Odenkirk, could you have …
The genre has so many cornerstone tropes that it’s always fun to make fun of any trope and any genre thing. You can make fun of anything in a stylistically tropy way. You can make fun of Wes Anderson tropes or anything people know. I did a film festival David Cross once, and we were there for something, but also to make fun of one of Steven Seagal’s films. We just sat in the back and did the riff tracks thing.
Is that where we’re calling it now the rifftracks thing? Because I would have just called it the Mystery Science Theater three thousand thing. I get that those two things are related, but do people know what you’re talking about if you say riff tracks? Odin Kirk said, because I’ve done so much comedy, one of the conscious thoughts that I had in this action areas that you can’t really make fun of the tropes if you make an action movie. I realized, if I want to make a real action movie and I want to be judged and tested in this arena, I have to commit to those things and not make fun of them, because if I make fun of them, everyone who has even an inkling of what I’ve done is going to go, ah, hey, didn’t mean it.
But there are jokes in the films, he says. Most of the jokes have to do with the kind of fun that you can have when the violence is really intense and really scary and kind of painful. Then a small comment to like comment becomes very funny in that context. An all subject comment becomes really hilarious in the context of dead, cold, earnest, seriousness and pain. And I will leave you with this.
Aerosmith and young Blood have shared a new version of My Only Angel, featuring comment he legend Steve Martin. Yeah, why well, I’ll tell you you see. Inspired by the original track’s emotional core, Aerosmith and young Blood returned to the studio to explore its more vulnerable side. During the session, Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, I met him once, tiny guy, I mean, not all that tall, not all that heavy. Nice guy.
Though met’m backstage. Jones Beach was back there with Vinnie pass Story. You know, the guy from this Pranos. Yeah, I’ve got stories. I did some stuff.
I wasn’t always in the basement anyway. During the session, Aerosmith singer Stephen Tyler, a longtime admirer of Steve Martin. Imagine the distinctive sound of a banjo bringing the songs so close. He reached out to Steve Martin, who accepted the invitation and recorded his part remotely. The addition of the Steve Martin banjo gives the new version its defining final moment, a soulful ending that trades the drive of the original for grounded, textured feel, with Steve Martin standout bancho solo carrying the song to a finish.
Steve revealed on Instagram, I’m playing banjo on a Stephen Tyler’s song. Here’s our text exchange. For no particular reason, and that is your comedy needs to say, Hey, all right, I’ll see you tomorrow.
