Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Cat William was on the seven pm in Brooklyn podcast and started talking a little basketball. Cat said, in basketball, I’m five to five, so there’s a whole realm of basketball I can’t experience. I don’t have any of the above rim experience.
On the other hand, I’m not Angel Reese. I’m ninety nine percent of in my layups because I can’t afford to miss a layup. My layup is my dunk. Host Cormelo Anthony cracked a smile but knew it was a joke and would not affect his family’s relationship with the star of the Chicago Sky Angel Reese. Stick to sports, okay.
Tom Sigora says FSU’s title winning touchdown was better than fatherhood. Sigora was on the Glory Days DAZ podcast hosted by former quarterback Johnny Manziel. Remember that guy, Sigora said, this is one of those things that’s gonna get me in trouble in a few years. Bert Krascher, who’s an alum, was like, do you want to go to the National Championship Game? And I go, yeah.
We ended up sitting in different sections. He’s like, my ticket’s over here, yours is over there. So I’m just sitting next to some guy. When Kelvin Benjamin caught that pass, I grabbed the guy’s shirt and I started going, Ah, it’s one of those things where you go, that’s what you can’t get at home. In a previous interview, Sigore had told ESPN, I went to the game and the emotions just to go over.
I couldn’t control myself. Winston drives down the field and throws a touchdown. I punched three guys in the face. Punching people in the face is not funny, Johnny Mack, what are you laughing at? Stick to sports, okay.
Roywood Junior talked to GQ about the Cubs and some of his favorite Cubs memories. He said, there was Toughy Roads three homers on opening Day that always stands out. Remember that. I remember that. He’s like the Barry Bonds of Japan.
He’s the man. He doesn’t pay for anything in Japan. Over here, he’s main cabin, middle seat. No one cares. But if I get just watch one baseball home run over and over and over again, it would be the Joe Carter World Series home run.
GQ asked about the steroids era, how do we handle that? Royce said, I don’t know how you can completely discredit it. It’s interesting to see both of those guys post career. The guys in question are Barry Bonds and a Rod. I think what Barry started to figure out that A Rod figured out sooner is how much your attitude plays a role, not necessarily being likable, but just being accessible.
If I a vote, I would vote for Barry Bonds and a Rod Hall of Fame. I absolutely would. Okay, well you cheated, you got caught doing something you weren’t supposed to do. Fine, but how do we wipe everything off the books? That’s the part I think is very difficult to get into the Hall of Fame.
It’s not just solely statistics. There’s intangibles of likability, just being real. You can’t tell me that Barry Bonds and his relationship with the baseball writers over the course of his career will not play a role. The Hall of Fame is like the award shows, where they have a special category basically for the ones we got wrong at the time. I think Barry maybe ends up on that met him briefly.
By briefly, I mean twenty seconds in Birmingham last year at the Willie Mays game they did with the whole Negro League’s tribute. The fact that Barry was even paraphrasing talking with Derek Jeter and Big Poppy, Huge Barry made himself accessible and spoke with people, and I thought it was really cool. I felt like Barry was feeling the love. You can tell he’s still excited about the game. He still loves this game.
He gave it his heart and soul, and he give us a hell of a show for a long time. I think if you put on a show, there’s got to be a space for you somewhere in Cooperstown. Now, if we want to call it the special Wing over here, whatever you got in trouble for steroids a couple of times, put that on the plaque. Stick to Sports. Johnny Mack okay, Li’s a trigger, says her goal every summer is to find a body of water.
But I’m not a snob. I’ll public pool, i’ll hotel, I’ll pay for day pass, I’ll hang with a friend, I’ll bring something, I’ll pay for something. But that’s always my goal. That’s not sports, Johnny Mack, let me finish the story, Lisa said.
Also, I haven’t gone to a baseball game this summer.
That’s a goal as well. See, I know what I’m doing. It’s not my first Daily Comedy News gave Iglesias is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Gabe said, I spent my life entertaining on the road, not in Hollywood. I guess someone was watching.
This was never a goal or something I thought was possible. The Hollywood Walk of Fame was established in nineteen sixty and has awarded more than twenty eight hundred stars over the last sixty five years. Leanne Morgan is excited about her sitcom. She says it’s a throwback to the nineteen nineties style comedy things like Roseanne Barr Seinfeld, Tim Allen, Drew Carey Martin, Lawrence Ray Romano. Morgan says that was my goal being my age, coming up and stand up and loving television.
That was my dream Netflix Comedy had. Tracy Pecosta says, on the stand up side, we work with best in class comedians from all over that reach very different audiences, pointing out they’ve had success with Shane Gillis’s Tires and want of Sykes of the Upshaws, and the upcoming Bert Krascher sitcom Free Bert Tracy says, and as we all know from back in the day when these type of shows were more popular and resonated, when you find somebody that is a very specific, authentic voice and makes sense to lean in and leanne is absolutely one of those talents. Weird Al play the Gordon last weekend. I love weird Al, but like MSG is just too big for me to go. Weird Al is closing in on Billy Joel’s record of one hundred and fifty shows at Madison Square Garden.
Al told the crowd just one hundred and forty nine more and I’ll be all t side up with Billy Joel. Al got a little emotional, got serious, told the crowd, Oftentimes the really big moments in your life come and go so quickly you can’t really enjoy them when you’re in them. That is very, very true, Sir Consequence says. The Bigger and Weirder Tour feels like a victory lap. The first third featured only one parody, the opener Taki, along with style parodies.
So yeah, to break down weird al. There’s these straight up parodies, you know, eat it, beat it. There are the style parodies. My favorite is dogg Eat Dog, which is in the style of talking heads.
And then there are the weird al originals, which are also great.
So let’s say the first third featured one parody, Tacky the opener, and then style parodies the Crosby Stills, Nash and Young style mission statement that’s good, and they might be giants styled everything you know is wrong? Oh yeah, pocas paulk is a fourth category of weirdowse sorry that he did a PoCA. Then Al dressed up as Kurt Cobaine for smells like Nirvana. The band put on yellow hazmat suits and red dome hats for deer to be stupid. A medley included party the cia O to a superhero, eat it and like a surgeon, word crimes and more.
Consequence talks about Al playing fat and writes something you could never write in twenty twenty five. Why not? Can we not make fun of anything? Here are the lyrics. Who’s offended?
Your butt is wide, well mine is too. Just watch your mouth or I’ll sit on you. The word is out better treat me right, because I’m the king of cellulite. Are you offended yet? Ham On, ham On, ham On whole wheat?
All right? My zipper’s bust, my buckles break. I’m too much man for you to take the pavement cracks when I fall down. I’ve got more chins than Chinatown. Is that the lyric we’re going to get offended by?
Well, I’ve never used a phone booth and I’ve never seen my toes. When I’m going to the movies to take up seven rows because I’m fat, Don’t you call me pudgy, portle or stout. Just tell me once again who’s fat? When I walk out to get my mail, it measures on the Richter scale down at the beach. I’m a lucky man.
I’m the only one who gets a ten. If I have one more pie ala mode, I’m gonna need my own zip code. When you’re only having seconds, I’m having twenty thirds. Personally, that’s my favorite weird al line of any weird oul line. When I go to get my shoes, shine, I got to take their word because I’m fat, really really fat.
A lot of lyrics to this, and my shadow weighs forty two pounds. Let me tell you once again, who’s fat? If you see me coming your way, bet it, give me plenty of space. If I tell you that I’m hungry, then won’t you feed my face? Because I’m fat?
When I sit around the house, I really sit around the house, you know, all by myself from a crowd. I’m me tell you once again, I’m fat, and the whole world knows I’m fat, and I’m proud. Just tell me once again, who’s fat? Who’s getting offended? There are people of Chinese ancestry getting offended at the Chinatown line.
Is that why we couldn’t write that? In twenty twenty five, Consequence writes with the lack of anything from UHF felt odd. There was the extra cover of Paul Simons you can call me Al, continuing Al’s recent tradition of sticking un ironic covers in the middle of his sets. Things closed out with eBay, White and Nerdy and Almash Paradise, the encore of We All Have Cell Phones sounds like it was a great show at the Montreal Comedy Festival Today. Three French language shows at three o’clock Wow, five o’clock Sunday night.
Improv also at five, Roast Battle Canada, the Nightly Culture Show at seven, JFL Live Sessions at seven. Usually those are album tapings. There’s a lot of stuff for Sunday. Roast Battle Canada again at eight o’clock, Derek Sageen at eight thirty. Life of leisures the name of that show, The Nightly Nasty Show at nine thirty, Roast Battle Canada again at ten thirty, and Midnight Surprise at midnights.
All right, if we were there, I guess we do improv at five, Derek Sagein at eight thirty, and we go to the late Roast Battle and then you can do the midnight show by yourself. Three shows is enough for me tonight and I will be looking for bid. Cameron Diaz is back into comedy. She’s a starring role in the upcoming action comedy Bad Day. Cameron Diaz will star as a single mom fighting to keep one little promise to her daughter on the absolute worst day of her life.
And since it’s a Sunday, I like doing quirky stuff. The LA Daily News looked at the six best things they ate at the Belly Laughs Comedy and Food Festival last weekend. During that fest, which featured over twenty restaurants showcasing some of the best Asian cuisine around La. This has nothing to do with comedy other than it was the comedy and Food festival. This is just food.
The comedians included Hasan Minhaj command On, Johnny and Marcaret show. The La Daily News liked Debriana Kabab House’s Chicken Tika Masala with rice and samosa. They tell us that chicken was marinated in a bright, creamy tomato sauce that was sweet but a spicy kick. Each bite paired perfectly with the rice. People apparently were buzzing about the Kanamwan Tai Gelato and Dessert Cafes Mango Sticky Rice Sunday.
The Sticky Rice Sunday is sold out within two hours on the first day. The La Daily News says the hype was well earned. They take a traditional mango sticky rice dessert with coconut sticky rice white rice with dork ripe mangoes and elevates it. They also liked the Bopo Mofo Cafes beef Noodle sandwich, which combines elements of beef noodle soup and a French dip. It consists of a homemade Chinese breezed beef shank stacked on a toasted with melted havardi and crispy green onions.
The La Daily News says, let me tell you it was love at first dip.
Also getting a good review of the Hermanos empanadas, the Halapano cheese and…
One bite in and my eyes turned to cartoon hearts. The cheese was perfectly melted in the holopano added just the right amount of kick. Julian modern cay popcorn chicken had a crispy texture on the outside and didn’t lose its flavor in the deep fry once it into the outer coat. The chicken inside was juicy, reveal of even more flavor and chef to a Vietnamese tierram a sou. The bass layer was made of bisc off cookies combined with a pasteurized egg batter, condensed milk, lady fingers, soaked and slip Vietnamese coffee, and dusted with cocoa powder.
A decadent dessert heaven. That festival sounds really awesome. And that is your comedy and food news on a Sunday. See you tomorrow.
