Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. You know, last week in the real world there was a lot of like real news. There were the airplane delays I suffered from that. There was the government shut down which I’ve misspelled in my notes using an eye think about it.
That came to an end. And of course the Epstein files. So Newsweek they cover the news, they were all over it. They had the big story, which was, of course Joe Rogan word pronunciation. Great son fans, Yeah, everybody who’s talking about this.
Last week, it seems Joe Rogan on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, was discussing ethanol. The guest was Jeff Dye. They started talking about alternative fuels. The subject turned to ethanol, which Joe Rogan pronounced ethanol. WHOA Joe relaxed with that pronunciation.
Bro Newsweek tells us the segment quickly drew attention, spawning a series of view comments expressing amusement, confusion, sometimes frustration at his word choice. Oh yeah, Newsweek wrote an entire article about this because Joe Rogan mispronounced ethanol as ethanol, which maybe it’s me is not crazy. Here are some of the comments that Newsweek published. One every time Rogan says ethanol instead of ethanol, I recoil in crunch w TWF bruh. Another really important comment that made Newsweek said the way Joe says ethanol’s bothering me so much for some reason.
Lol. Another very important comment Joe saying ethanol has me messed up. Another person even included a time stamp at two hours, nine minutes, twenty seven seconds. Jets wrote, ethanol is like bethanol without the B, not ethanol. Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her, so we will.
She made a change to her social media presence last week. People are claiming conspiracy. On Instagram. Amy Schumer had a new post and she captioned it, deleted my old picks for no reason. Amy Schumer deleted every previous photo and added the one new post showing off her new weight loss look.
Amy wrote, I actually left my house tonight. Who’s proud. I’m feeling good and happy. Deleted my old picks for no reason. Hours before that announcement, she posted a picture of her very first Instagram post to her instant stories, captioning that my first ever insta post.
I’m gonna race them all because why not. Some people are wondering perhaps there are some things in her past that she doesn’t want us to stumble across scrolling through her Instagram or not. Who knows. Others are like no Amy, a loss of weight and feels like she’s looking real good and just wants to live in the now. I don’t know.
The Wall Street Journal spoke with Louis C.K. He’s out hawking his new novel. The journal said, in the acknowledgements, you think THEO Vaughn and Chris Rock? How did they help? C K said, I gave it to a bunch of my friends.
Those are like the two that read it. I think THEO is a modern day Mark Twain. Tap the brakes on that? I mean? Should I do half an hour?
On that comment? Ce K said, I fiel Van, He’s an incredible storyteller, and meeting him before I wrote this is not a coincidence. The journal was curious what were Chris Rock’s notes. See K told the journal, Chris said, you wrote an ef fing novel? Do we have to write novels now?
The version he read was longer and had more weird stuff. About place and time. I was timid about that, but he said, you need some weird Louis Crapp in there. That was his thing, but he loved it. C K also in the acknowledgments, mentions fiver, you know the freelance service you pay somebody five bucks to like design a website logo?
You know that place. The journal was curious, did you pay strangers to read the book? See K said yeah, they didn’t know who I was. I just made a user name. The first draft I sent out, I got a lot of this is garbage.
One woman said, this is just a wall of words. She was really tough. I had to breathe, like, well, that’s not easy to read, but really good. Shane Gillis told the story about meeting NFL star Micah Parsons. Shane was on Monday Night Football last week.
Now, I didn’t see Monday Night Football last week for several reasons. One the YouTube TV versus Disney dispute. Even if I wanted to watch Monday Night Football, couldn’t because on that particular night, YouTube TV was not showing ABC nor ESPN. So I hopped on my boat and went out to international waters. As you know, sometimes you have to do and I still couldn’t come up with it.
And at that point I was like, eh, I already wrapped up the football pol And I went on with my life and I watched the YouTube. So that’s one reason I didn’t watch a game. The other reason I didn’t watch the game is I, of course don’t support fascism. Remember the fascist they kicked off Jimmy Kimmel’s show. Jimmy was off the air for like six hours one time, and we all lost our minds and canceled Disney Plus.
That’s right. So I was even talking to one of the trivia guys about this. He’s with me, we don’t do that. He’s like me. He goes all the way upstairs, goes to the DVD closet, finds the Scrubs DVD, walks all the way back down two flights of stairs, puts the DVD in the PlayStation five, and watches Scrubs on DVD.
You think the trivia guy is just gonna hit the Hulu button on his Roku. No, he doesn’t support fascism. By the way, my team won trivia, but we’ll talk about that. On Wednesday, Jane Gillis was on Monday Night Football last week? What’s the game tonight?
Raiders Cowboys? That’s skippable Anywayane is there on the Manning Cast. Peyton Manning brings up the time Shane Gillis met Michael Parkins during a party at Saquon Barkley’s house, and name dropper Peyton Manning said, Shane, I heard a story that you met Michael Parsons at a Super Bowl party. Boy, Peyton, you really really prep for the show there, huh. In case you’re not totally hip to show business, a producer probably talked to either Shane or someone in his camp and said, hey, what can you talk about?
And Shane or someone in his camp went, oh, Shane’s got a Michael Parson’s story, and then they wrote that on the piece of paper.
And then Peyton’s like, Shane, I heard a story that you met Michah Parsons at…
Not for nothing. I understand. Peyton Manning is an NFL quarterback who’s been doing the Manning Cast for what four years now five or something like that. I understand that he’s not Johnny Carson, but you have been doing this for a minute. You gotta be better than Shane, I heard a story that that’s just like, you’re not even trying.
I’d aggress again, Shane. I heard a story that you met Michael Parsons at a Super Bowl party. Did y’all hit it off? For y’all, buddies, what’s the deal? Eagles fan Shane Gillis did attend Barkley super Bowl party when Barkley was with the Giants.
Michael Parsons was at the party, and since Shane Gillis and Parsons are both from the same area of Philly, Shane approached him. Shane explained, look, he did nothing wrong. Was completely normal reaction from him. We were at a super Bowl party. I’m in Eagles gear, so I look like a fan.
Everyone else that’s there was like, cool, it’s at Saquan’s house. He was still with the Giants. I’m there wearing all Eagles gear. I’m walking around. I’m one of the three white guys in the room and I walk up to Michaeh.
Parsons and I was like, Mike, guy, I went to Trinity High School in Camp Pale, Pennsylvania. I hear you’re from Harrisburg. He was like, who’s this guy?
Also, I’m like fifteen years older than him.
So he was like, dude, you should leave, And I did leave immediately. As soon as he said, Oh, what’s up, I was like, it’s time to go. Josh Johnson got a very very nice, thorough article in Billboard. Josh was on Zoom for the interview and said, I feel very bad about how this call is lit. I did my best, but I’m in a hotel room in Jacksonville, and there are only so many lights to work with.
There’s some shadow being cast. It’s not wholly flattering, So you’ve caught me. Bill Board was impressed by Josh Johnson’s statistics his first night anchoring the Daily Show in July. Through five hundred and ninety thousand total viewers in the eighteen to forty nines, which I’ve graduated from. I’m in eighteen of forty nine alumni.
There were two hundred and twenty six eighteen to forty ninths more than John Stewart’s top rated episodes, And now that is all kinds of interesting. Then Stewart took the record back when Stewart hosted on a Thursday after Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension. That night, John Stewart got four hundred and forty three thousand viewers in the eighteen to forty nine So you know, I’m looking at Josh Johnson’s skyrock gating career. I kind of want to stop off at could he be the permanent host of the Daily Show? But I don’t even think they could hold on him.
I think he’s going to just skip right over that step. Josh said, I’ve been having a lot of fun. Everybody’s been super supportive. It’s been really special. I have a whole lot to learn, so I’m excited at every opportunity I get.
Everyone with the role’s been in it long enough to feel really comfortable with it and inspired by John Stewart. For the most part, whatever I’m hosting, I look at it as an opportunity to learn more about what everyone else is doing. When I started as a writer, I was so focused on writing and Ziland voice and the writer’s wing in general that sometimes I didn’t understand how a piece I had written affected props or costume. For example, say that’s smart. Now, being on the correspondent slash hosting side, I see what it takes to make something happen.
From that perspective, understanding how everything comes together. It makes me feel like a better writer because now I’m speaking more of a shared language. The show’s a great culture for that. Everybody can learn from everybody else, even if it’s not their department. All right, when you’re host, do you write your own material?
He says. It’s a group effort from cron dot com. They wanted us to know that William Montgomery, you may know William Montgomery from Kill Tony, bombed during a set at the Still Standing Comedy Festival at the far Out Lounge in Austin. Cron dot com reports William Montgomery was supposed to do a half hour set, but he lasted fifteen minutes. Quotes after his excruciating, unfunny jokes about celebrity debts and doing drugs landed in the same way a roach of cat kills does your lap.
They tell us. One of the jokes had a quote unbelievably racist punchline, which this is a racism free podcast, so I’m not going to repeat it. The joke involved a plane crash from two thousand on, Coron dot Com asked did Montgomery arrive in Austin via a time machine? There weren’t any more recent celebrities, who’se graeves he could dance on. Montgomery also had a joke about Paul Walker.
You know Paul Walker from the movie series of The Fast and the Furious. Paul Walker passed away in twenty thirteen. Check your calendars. Everybody crowd didn’t like it. Montgomery screamed at Austinites, saying that was bs.
That was a good joke. Coron dot com writes, I think this is an actual joke. I’ll read you the full sentence, so Montgomery screamed. After Austinites failed to find any humor at all in such well crafted jokes like Paul Walker more like Paul Crasher. Chron dot com says, comedy really is dead.
I suppose Montgomery tagged that with I heard the real reason Paul Walker died was because the director forgot to say cut. I’m sure mister Montgomery told these much better than I did, but they don’t read as great jokes. Montgomery then said, what do we have a bunch of whoosy Paul Walker fans in the crowd tonight? Kron says. Montgomery then shrieks nearly deliriously angry at the crowd of fans who mistakenly thought they had paid to see someone funny.
That’s funnier than the whole set, You go, cron dot com writer, Oh there is more, they tell us. Unsurprisingly. Another video shows Montgomery’s frustration at his chili reception as his chili reception descends into full blown racism and misogyny. At one point, he points in a man in the crowd and asks if he’s of Pacific Island descent. Then Montgomery flips out at a woman in the crowd who allegedly flipped him off, calling her slurs and saying she should be publicly executed.
It’s not clear what joke led up to this meltdown, but then the camera pans to a pack crowd at the four Out Lounge that is, again very understandably completely stonefaced at his freak out. At one point in the video, you can hear an audience memory yell bro throw a tomato. Someone on Reddit and said, I was there was way worse than it seemed in this video, really worse than it seems. Everyone of the crowd was making remarks about how he just needed to get off the stage. The craziest part was an audience member was able to walk on stage and called his performance garbage.
A Ready user said, William is really great in short purse. He hasn’t figured out how to do an hour. Yeah, so kill Tony comes up all the time. I understand the people that hate kil Tony. I get it.
I can comedy snap with the best of them. You listen to the podcast, you hear me do it. Kill Tony is new bees and amateurs getting up and doing maybe a minute maybe if Tony lets you go along, it gets seventy five seconds. That’s what it is. This is not an HBO comedy special in nineteen eighty eight.
It’s get up and see if you can last a minute before they play the bear or whatever it is they do so that William Montgomery can’t scratch from a minute to a half hour. Not shocking out. Today on the Blonde Medicine YouTube channel, it’s Mike Kaplan’s new comedy special. It’s called Reenie r I NI We’re told the special is a deeply personal project created by the duo equal parts of Comedy Special and Fisis on Love. In the show, performed at Edinburgh Fringe, Kaplan offers advice to his past dumb self while discussing his evolving thoughts on traditional marriage, polyamory, quantum physics, psychedelics, music, god, and more.
Mike Caplin said, I’m a better person because of her. I’m a better comedian because of her. Rob Schneider was on Fox and Friends. You know this is gonna go well, right, Yeah. He was discussing the Turning Point USA event at UC Berkeley and Schneider’s conversation with Robert de Niro about the President of the United States.
Schneider offended free speech. During said Turning Point USA event at UC Berkeley. Rob Schneider was speaking to students and recalled a tense but civil exchange with fellow actor Robert de Niro. Boy, that’s an insult to Robert de Niro. I mean, I guess they’re both actors in the same way that Joe Rogan and I are both podcasters.
Even that, I think there’s a bigger spread between Schneider and DeNiro. Maybe that’s like saying both Johnny Carson and I spoken to a microphone at some point. Maybe that’s more apt. Anyway, Robert de Niro’s fellow actor Rob Schneider seriously guys. Schneider’s takeaway was.
It showed the power of responding with love instead of anger. Schneider calls for loving people who are your enemy. Apparently, there were some protesters outside the event. Schnider told Fox and Friends. These people preventing people from talking and preventing people from getting in.
These were the anti fascists. Now again, I’m a peaceful anti fascist who watches Scrubs DVDs. Do not engage in brawls. That’s not what us anti fascist scrubs watchers are about. We’re just about Jimmy Kimmel should have a show.
That’s all. We come in peace. We watched Scrubs DVDs, Schneider said. The turning point USA students from Berkeley wanting to have peaceful discourse, peaceful debate, conversations, talk about how much they love God, family, country. These people were called the fascists.
Schneider asked, who are the real fascists there? And I will ask them, did you watch Monday night Football? Because I didn’t. Schneider goes on to say fellow actor Robert de Niro confronted Rob Schneider about Schneider’s support of the President of the United States. Schneider tells the story de Niro turns around and he’s like, Schneider, how could you support that.
I’ll clean that up your jerky face. Schnyder said. I looked right at him and I said, I love you. I swear to God. He looked right at me and went, okay.
It’s the only way to handle is We were never going to be out canceled to cancel culture. They’re better at it than us. It’s got to be through love. When you come from a place of love and brotherhood, it doesn’t advance to that next ugly place. Good advice from Rob Schneider.
That is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.
