Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Matt Rife has revealed he is now caretaker of the supposedly haunted Annabelle Doll. Oh no, what are you doing? Don’t take that on USA Today Airports.
Matt Rife and his friend purchased the Home Museum, an entire artifact collection of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren that includes the Annabelle Doll. Rife plans to reopen the museum, which has been closed since twenty nineteen, for tours, and he’ll let you stay overnight at the home. Rife went on TikTok as one does, to announce he has officially purchased the Home and Museum, including their entire haunted collection. In the TikTok, Matt Riife said this might be the most important and prominent piece of paranormal history the world. Ed and Lorraine Warren, or who took demonology and ghost hunting and made it mainstream.
I know a lot of you guys don’t know what any of this means whatsoever, but if you follow ghost stuff, this is as big as it gets. The museum will be open for tours so you yourself can experience and learn all the haunted history surrounding this amazing place. This is the most random hobby ever, but so cool man. I should probably collect stamps or something might be a little safer now. The Annabel Doll is a real antique raggedy ann doll supposedly possessed by an inhuman spirit.
The New England Society for Psychic Research, founded by the Warrens, previously described it as demonically possessed. The doll has been at the museum since the seventies. It has gotten a higher profile thanks to the Conjuring films Now listen to this. In May, Annabel hit the road for a tour, the Devil’s on the Run tour with Dan Rivera, who’s a senior lead investigator for any SPR the New England Society for whatever I said before. Months into the tour, Rivera died at a hotel.
However, the coroner says the doll was not with him when he died, So I don’t know why we’re bringing this up at all. Anyway, Matt Rife very excited. I’m starting to think maybe Andrew Schultz isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed Schultz went on Instagram on Sunday and reposted that day’s Washington Post article about Donald Trump backing down on a promise to require health insurers provide coverage for IVF services. Schultz added the caption you don’t break your word, your word breaks you. In a follow up post, he slammed Trump, saying Donald Trump flip flop once again on a campaign promise.
Hey, Andrew, I don’t know if you study history, munch. Donald Trump was actually a president of the United States from twenty seventeen through twenty twenty one. During that time, he built a wall in Mexico, paid for it. You should look it up. Donald Trump was a guest on Andrew Schultz’s podcast Flagrant.
Last year, podcaster Charlotte made the God thinks John Stewart would make a good presidential candidate. Charlemagne was on Lara Trump’s show and said, we’ve seen John get legislation on stuff, you know, past before, like we know where his heart is. He’d be somebody I’d really like to see get in the race and disrupt things. In twenty twenty eight, George Lopez in the News, George is there’s a few comedians that I talk about, and it’s never like Comedian X was in a good mood and had fun and got along with everybody. Lopez seems to be one of those guys that any time he comes up in the news, he’s fighting with somebody.
He’s mad at the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lopez is claiming the Dodgers have blocked Lopez on social media for Lopez’s anti ICE comments. On June twentieth, the Dodgers stated that ICE agents requested parking lot access but were denied. An ICE spokesperson clarified no agents were at Dodgers Stadium and that the officers there were California Border Patrol. Lopez says of being blocked, it’s hurtful.
If anyone doesn’t belong, it’s the Dodgers. Maybe at the next fan fest they can have ICE agents dresses the visiting team and remove fans during the seventh inning stretch, since fan loyalty means nothing. Jimmy Kimmel and team took out a billboard in Los Angeles to campaign for an Emmy, a typical Los Angelesy type thing to do. You’ll find the billboard at the corner of Santa Monica and La Sienega. It looks like a standard Emmy ad for Jimmy Kimmel, says late Nighter, except when you look at it, it reads I’m voting for Steven Nice moment of solidarity there by Jimmy Kimmel.
An interesting booking on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight show. Tonight, it’s Greg Guttfeld. Guttfeld told Fox News is the five I’m doing Jimmy Fallon, and I’m psyched about it. Fallon comes across as a great guy, and me going on a show shows he’s not worried about upsetting his peers. He got a lot of stick for humanizing Trump when he tassled his hair, but it didn’t come from anybody but the people on the left who wanted to teach all entertainers a lesson that if you dare show the Trump as a human, then your toast.
So it’s kind of nice he’s taking this risk. Gutfeld is not the lead guest tonight. That slot goes to the Jonas Brothers. Dusty Slay said, always been on the cleaner side. But I had jokes here and there along the way that I wouldn’t do now.
I did a couple of shows where people asked me to be completely clean, and then when I would go through my set, I’d be like, oh, I’m losing some of my best jokes. He said the final straws he got a bad review. I was the cleanest person on the lineup. Ye know, I got the worst right up because of this one joke. So I said, you know what, I’ll just be completely clean, but I still want to talk about the things I want to talk about.
I’ll just find a new creative way to say that. I had to find other words. I couldn’t rely on shock always good advice, And I remember Jeff fox Worthy explaining that to me probably twenty years ago. Now, boy, time flies, Yeah, it probably is twenty years. Wow, it feels like yesterday.
Geting old folks. Dusty talked about finding the balance between being a road comic and being around for the family. I don’t like to be gone for longer than a week because I want to be home with my kids. But that’s what comedy is to me. Now, if you live in New York or LA or maybe in Chicago, you can get locked into a circuit.
We’re still going to get it to do a lot of comedy every night. But if you’re not living in those cities, touring is what you have to do. It’s the most fun thing to me. He was surprised at the reception he got when he first left the Souteast. I remember the first time I went to Phoenix.
I drove from Nashville to Phoenix and I thought, Man, this is too far out. They’re gonna be like go back to the South. That it was one of my most fun weekends. I just remember being so excited about how well it went. I thought his new special is one of the best of the year.
Picking away that fantastic interview Vulture did with Bill Burr, they were curious when Burr talks about politics in his act, what does he want to do? Burr said, if I do it, I trash it both because that’s my job. I can’t fix the political system. But when I do stand up, if I start trashing like Trump, I hear left the crowd go yeah, and I’d be like, you voted for a guy that’s staring off in a space. Your guy literally should be in a home.
He had some additional words that started with f that I’m omitting. What are you patting yourself on the back? For your party is not let you choose your candidate. Since obomb a second term, you’re liberal. That’s insane.
More f’s were skipped there. I’m not flying either one of their flags. It’s people paying them. It’s a problem. They’re always distracting this other stuff.
CNN and Fox News are a disease. Another ref skipped. But now I’ve moved on from that to the puppeteers. So my new perspectives. There’s nothing wrong with being a billion But if somebody’s working forty hours a week, hundred and sixty hours a month and they can’t make the rent, you’re not paying enough money, maybe you should just be worth nine hundred million.
That is a CEO taking eight figure bonus, and none of your employees of dental insurance. They can’t even go out and get a filling for hosted SNL the week after the election. It’s an honor to be asked to do that. I made fun of Comma, and I made fun of Trump, and I did a couple of silly jokes. I kept a light.
I don’t put that level of importance on my ac when I’m fine. As people keep trying to categorize what you’re doing like that idiot Ben Shapiro, he’s woke. No, that guy, you’re trying to bring me in his full At one point they like me, and all of a sudden, I’m like A I’m like an a hole. I’m supposed to look at that guy like he’s an adult.

So if anybody asks you who is the best day that ever, the answer is Machine Gun Kelly. Why, Pete explained, machine Gun Kelly flies back and forth to Cleveland twice a week just to see his daughter play volleyball, and he’s just always with his kids, and it’s such a beautiful thing to see.

Forty four promises to tell you the story of Obama you won’t read about in history books because history books are now banned in most states. Because also forty four is the story of Obama as Joe Biden kind of sort of remembers it, love it, that’s hilarious. Deadline spoke to some of jfl’s New Faces from Montreal Xavier Phillips that I grew up in Tennessee and wasn’t really surrounded by many people wanting to pursue comedy, so I was kind of having to find what was online and see what other people who I was idolizing were doing. And that’s kind of the time it discovered JFL New Faces was always one of the things I put on my list of goals for the year. I’m incredibly excited being selected.
