Caloroga Shark Media. It air Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Netflix has released a trailer from Louisk’s upcoming stand up special. The special is titled Ridiculous, which I feel like he’s used at five times already, but I guess not. It’ll be out on Netflix on June thirtieth.

It’s louis first special on Netflix in nine years. You may recall that scandal. Louise last Netflix special was in twenty seventeen. Since then, he has released several albums and specials through his own website. He also won Best Comedy Album at the Grammys in twenty twenty two.

That was his third The other two were before the scandals, in twenty twelve and twenty sixteen. In May, Louis k headlined a show at the Hollywood Bowl as part of the Netflix As a Joke Comedy Festival, and the streaming special was announced. Well now it is here. During that show, CK’s all the audience. That was my last show on the tour, last time tell those jokes, and I’m really happy I got to tell them to you.

Thank you very much for coming. Thank you to Netflix. I really appreciate the gig. And there is a trailer. Let’s listen to it.

I have edited out one F bomb. Yeah, my dad’s eighty nine and he’s in a home. Now, he’s in a home. You know what that means. Right, there’s a pink plastic water pitcher in the room, you know what I mean.

Yeah, he’s in a home. My sisters and I put him in a home because he was too old to stop us from putting him in there. He was just two weeks to resist being forced. So we went looking for a home to put our dad in and we went on a tour and not with him. But you don’t you don’t bring him on the tour now, his first time there is the day that if the last place he’ll ever go.

You know what this place does? You know what they do? You give them money and they take your father. They go this one. You go, yeah, and they they take him.

They just push him in a chair away from you. Just say. You don’t even have to wave, you just watch. And your father’s like. I didn’t love that clip, And that’s the clip you’re choosing to put in the trailer.

Maybe I’m sensitive because I had to put my mother and assisted living towards the end of her life and I don’t know, but maybe it’s not funny. You tell me. Comments are open on Spotify and in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group the Folks on the av Club wrote, based on the material presented in the first clip, the actual content of the special is unlikely to garner the kind of controversy that has deservedly followed work from Dave Chappelle or Kevin Hard. It’s roast a first glance, c K doesn’t address any controversy. It looks like an attempt to return to business as usual in what Netflix’s press material describes as a quintessential set that shows he’s still a legend of the stand up world.

Louis C.K. Ridiculous out on June thirtieth. As I said the other day, he’s probably the second best comedian of the twenty first century. So it’s a complicated situation. Now, the story that is amusing me this week is this Nate Brighatzy thing.

Incasion missed it. Nate went to the UFC fight the other night. He got photographed with Robert F. Kennedy and Cheryl Hines. I believe the Vice president is in the background of that and people are like, hmm, is Nate Brighatzy a supporter of the President of the United States.

Now, Nate himself did not post a thing about the attendance. A source says Nate discussed his attendance with his team, knowing that his appearance would be interpreted as a political statement, but decided to attend anyway. We are told that Nate went because he’s a big UFC fan and the appearance was quote not political. I guess that’s why. Well, at this point, I think the cover up is worse than the crime.

As they say, that’s just a phrase I’m using. Don’t read anything into that, but Nate Gates getting a lot of pick up. Yahoo wrote about it. They quoted some Twitter users, one called the comedian Maganate. That person said, I used to enjoy Naperghetzy, but then I learned that he thinks fascism is funny.

Another person wrote, now I love that guy, and I generally don’t do boycotts, but I’m done with him. I saw a lot of conversation on threads that people were done with Nate Brighetzy. One person wrote, we have tickets to see Nate in July. Sultan them back at half price this morning. I think, just own it now.

If you listen to the show every day, I try not to get too political. If you pay close attention to the spin I put on words, you can probably figure it out. But as I have said in the past, the President of the United States and I don’t agree on all the issues. For example, this week, I don’t want to send Iran three hundred billion dollars. But on the other hand, the President and I are a line that NBC twelve thirty could be way better.

Make twelve thirty great again. So you know, just own it now. Interesting timing here. Nate’s father, steven sian comedian. He’s got a special coming out Thursday.

Maybe Nate is a master of promotion. Stephen Burgetzi’s debut magic special will be on Nateland’s entertainment YouTube page at two pm Pacific on Thursday. Weird time to put that out. It’s called Out in a Minute taped at the Franklin Theater in Tennessee. Out in a Minute blends old school illusions, quick witted crowd work, and deeply personal stories from a lifetime in show business from classic tricks he performed during a Z Opryland days to one final stunt his family, which is hid retire.

Stephen Burgetzi turns the evening into a celebration of comedy, magic and the wonderfully unique journey that helped shape the Bergazzie family on their way to attending the UFC event on the White House Lawn. John Stewart commented on the UFC fight and said Sunday night gave the President and his acolytes an opportunity to rebut the joyous communion of teamwork that embodied the New York Knickerbockers for a joyless Vegas style trudge through the People’s House and now transformed into a gold plated pummeling center. Stuart said, what a gone awful mockery of an event that somehow managed to find a way to do value both combat sports and our national dignity. Who even aired this embarrassing stuff? The answer there is Paramount Plus.

Who’s his boss? Stewart said, once again, the leaders of Paramount Plus providing us all with incredible content at reasonable prices. I am proud to stand with the Paramount family and whatever shows they decide to either cancel or put on. Did you see this thing? With the San Francisco Giants.

They had Pride Night the other night, and some players wrote some Biblical messages on their Pride hats. Rob Schneider has entered the discussion because of course he did. Rob posted on Twitter, I will pay the fines for any MLB Christian player who wears a Bible verse on their uniform. MLB is anti Christian. The San Francisco Giants said they are proud to support Pride Night and the LGBTQ plus community.

We also respect that individuals may make personal choices about participating in team activations. We understand the choices by individual players has caused pain and anger to many in the LGBTQ plus community, and we are sorry for that.

Also out of San Francisco, comedian Ahmed Ahmed was arrested last year at San…

He says he was assaulted by deputies at San Mateo County Jail. According to a lawsuit filed Monday in federal court, Ahmed Ahmed issuing the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department for assault, battery, negligence, and other allegations. As the story goes after missing a flight connection. When returning to the US from a work trip in Thailand, Ahmed and other frustrated passengers got into an argument with the United Airlines representative in the early morning hours at SFO. He was sent to a hotel with no available rooms.

He returned to the service desk around one am, exhausted, frustrated, and in need of help. The complaint said the agent was dismissive. From there, Ahmed apparently demanded assistance. The employee called San Francisco Airport Police, saying Ahmed was being disorderly. Police arrested him and transported him to the jail.

Ahmed said he sustained a broken wrist, elbow, and rib, as well as bruises and lacerations from being punched, kicked, and beaten by deputies. According to the complaint, He was then strapped to a chair in an isolation room with a hood over his head. The complaint also suggests that deputies tried to remove his pants. I’m at in the statements that I’ve spent my life trying to bring people together through laughter. But what those officers did broke something in me.

I was scared for my life. They tortured, humiliated, beat and injured me. The trauma has scarred me physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. I was released without being charged with any crime because I didn’t do anything wrong. Wow, just serious all the way around there.

We’ll keep an eye on that story, and awkwardly go to a commercial break. All right. The rest of the show was pretty much a victory lap for the world champion New York Knicks. If that doesn’t interest you, especially through the lens of Jimmy Fallon, you are excused and I’ll see you tomorrow. But for everybody else, Tracy Morgan says he doesn’t have a favorite New York Knicks player, but has crowned MVP Jalen Brunson the king of New York.

Tracy Morgan told The Post, I can’t pick anyone out because everyone had a part in it, the coaching staff, everyone had a part in it. So I won’t do that. I won’t single anyone out. But Brunson is the king of New York right now. People have spoken.

The New York Knicks were the guests on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Now, normally I defend Jimmy fallon. But this first thing I’m gonna play for you is so lame. It just it’s not funny. It’s not entertaining.

Jimmy, who is this? For Game one in Texas, New York brought it, y’all. Brunson put up thirty points, then shouted yeehaw. For Game two, much closer, Gay fans a heart attack. Thank god, Wemby passed the ball into his teammates’ backs.

Game three in New York MSG was packed. New York City took an l while one guy took a nap sweat. Game four historic down by twenty nine. It’s the reason I now have an Annoby Shrine s. Game five the Spurs.

We’re leading at the starts, but we believed because we all have hearts and bridges and kat They all played really great, so now we’ll all get turn it. That’s forage New York Knicks run starting five so much fun. Here’s to you time this year. How about at the same time next year. I mean, that was so bad that makes me want to listen to Nikki Glaser sing.

But by the way, by the way, by the way, I did myself in I woke up in the middle of the night the other night last night actually with the Nicky Glazer song stuck in my head. So as much as I’m trying to torture you, I wound up torturing myself. Just share the show anyway. Fortunately the actual Nicks came out. Here’s their introduction.

I have scoped this down for piecing. Wow, MVP right here, Come on, my gosh, thank you for being here, and thank you, thank you for being here, and thank you for bringing a championship to New York. On the coush with Jimmy Fallon, it’s coach Mike Brown, Karl Anthony Towns, you know him as Cat, and the captain Jalen Brunson. Jimmy felln loses control of his own show for a little bit before asking Jalen Brunson about his pre music routine. Jell and you scored a forty five points in a championship winning game.

Right but Michael, same time? All right, right, I can’t talk. Michael Jordan is. The only other player in history to do that. What does it feel like when you go down the street or you see this billboard in New York City of Clyde Fraser passing the ball.

That’s the John. That’s cool. That’s crazy, that’s it’s pretty cool. That’s really cool. I mean getting getting being able to know him and talked to him over the last couple of years.

You just see the joy he has watching us, and I’m just ready to thank for the relationship that we have. He means a lot to this community, the next community in US and just uh, he’s a pleasure to be around. Yeah, he’s always there for you guys. And we talked before when you’re on the show before the game, you told me listening to Justin Bieber, and I was wondering if that’s still the case. And during the playoffs, do you switch out the playlist or is it still Bieber?

Before the games? I switched it up every now and then, but right before after Mike does his pregame talk has to be Beber, right before I run out. I love you loyal. I can verify this, Yeah, right, y, Yeah, I can verify it.

Speaking of music, you may have noticed coach Mike Brown singing who Let the …

During the ceremonies after the Knicks won the championship. Mike Brown tells the story who let the Dogs Out? By the Baha Man. What is that song. We got to put that to bed.

Yeah, where did that come from? Was that something you. Listen? Story? So I got too, He.

Said, know what, we need the story as well. We won’t need this. I was an assistant San Antonio many moons ago. The reporter that asked me the question, he said, what did you learn during your time here when you coach the seven year old dog’s flag football team? And so I said, I said, I learned to cheer because we used to have all the parents come into the huddle, all the kids come in the huddle before every game.

We put everybody put their hands in, right, all right, we’re gonna practice, and everybody to do this. Put your hands in, put your hands in.

And then I’d go one, two, three, I go loot the dogs.

Not to walk out, to walk out, stop doing it. No, I won’t do it anymore. So not to walk after that. After that day, I’m going back to the hotel thinking everything is good, right okay, And the players walk off the bus first, every one of them that walked by me, tap me on my shoulder and killed He was the toughest on me. He was to they killed me.

And I will say one player, one player, on our team. Yes, he tap my back, rubbed my shoulder. He looked down at me, gave me the just just a sorry, just a sorry felt look, and he said, don’t worry about a coach. It was Mikail Bridges. Mikil mckis.

He got your baddies. Yes, he got kill Bridges. Can we talk about how he just compared me at thirty to a seven year old? Yeah? Yeah.

By the way, on that that last boys, you’re hearing there, that’s cat. You can just tell he’s got a quote unquote it. Jalen Brnson’s a little tight still with the media, but Cat’s in natural paying attention to that. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy Kimmel called it the best five game NBA Final Series ever. He then rattled off all the post game five stabbings, injuries and arrests in the aftermath and the Knicks win.

Yes, some idiots in New York don’t know how to behave. Kim joked that people worried that mayor Mum Donnie was going to destroy New York. No one would have guessed it would be fans of the Knicks. Kimmel then showed some clips of Knicks fans getting routy, including destroying school buses and putting Elmo’s head on a spike. I’ll come back to that, Kimo said, you know you’re in a festive mood when you set fire to a school bus and nobody has a problem at all.

So the Elmo thing was pretty funny. The Elmo social media account posted something like let’s have a good game, rooting for both sides, and people pointed out that Sesame Street takes place in New York City and called Elmo a treader. It was very, very funny reading the reactions to Elmo trying to both sides the NBA Finals. No, you’re from New York, you’re a Knicks fan. Elmo seth Meyer still has a show at twelve thirty.

For some reason, he dedicated his Closer Look segment to the Knicks. He said, I don’t know where you’re watching tonight, but wherever you are, I guarantee it’s not as much fun as New York City is right now. That is true. New York City is a lot of fun right now, no offense. But New York City is currently a cross between Mardy grac Corichella and the Ray from the matrix.

We got Nixon five World Cup, Fever, the Portteryay Parade, we got block parties, watch parties. We even got guys balancing trash cans on their heads. It all feels bigger than sports. If you’re in New York City right now, whether you live here or you’re just visiting, you could jump on the f train and at any moment be surrounded by people in Nick’s gear, or Brazil gear, or Morocco gear, or even Mets gear. And if you’re from abroad and you don’t know what the Mets logo is, it’s the one on the hats of the sad people.

Well, Seth Meyers actually made me laugh. I should just wrap up the show now, but I have to tell you about New York Laughs is happening in New York City tonight, and it’s pretty cool. New York Laughs is a comedy arts nonprofit that does world class stand up in public spaces. Tonight. James Austin Johnson is your headliner, joined by Jordan Fisher, Charlene Kay and Olivia Carter.
