Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm shunning back with your daily comedy news.
Are you're enjoying the March madness. Jimmy Fallon joked about Yale making the tournament
and said their sign said, don't you know who our fathers are? Perhaps
we should settle this on the squash court. And this is such a bad
loss, I'm writing it off on my taxes. Jimmy Kimble said. Gonzaga
is the college basketball version of the Easter Bunny. It shows up once a
year and makes a bunch of baskets and then disappears. Netflix obviously has installed
a spy cam in my basement studio here. Yesterday's episode was quite long,
twenty something minutes before I did the edits. As soon as I finished,
I got an email. Netflix is a joke fest outside Joke lineup announcement outdoors

go forward with Bupkis season two. It had been renewed, but Pete says
he has decided not to continue with it. In a statement, Pete said,
I've always seen buck Gus as a window in my life, since it's
so personal about my struggles and my family. After nearly a decade if my
personal life being in the media, I wanted a chance to tell my story
my way. Of all the work I've ever done, Bupkis is by far
what I'm most proud of. So grateful to Lorne Michael's in Broadway, Video,
Peacock, Universal Television, and the amazing cast and writers for helping me
create something honest, funny, and heartfelt. I do also feel that this
part of my life is finished. I'm very excited for this next chapter and
for you guys to see the work. Thank you to all who support me
for I am forever grateful. What do you think's going on there? That's
weird? Right now, I'm googling Pete Davidson. I don't see anything gossip
Cornery. But here from curbed, I'm doing this on the fly. Here
the plan for Pete Davidson and Colin Jose to Staten Island Ferry. All right,
let's read this. I'm reading this called curved. Right three months after
Colin Jost and Pete Davison bought a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry for two hundred and
eighty thousand dollars, Joe stood on its deck like a triumphant captain as it
was towed through New York Harbor to a temporary dock that was two years ago.
Ever since, the two hundred and seventy seven foot long boat seems to
have just sat and sat and sat. If you've ever been on the Staten
Island Ferry, it's big locals living near the Staten Island dock till the near
posts. They haven't seen anyone working on it. Pete Davison seld reporters.
They were stone when they bought the ferry and said he hopes it turns into
a transformer and gets the f out of there. Colin Jost has said,
is it worse that I was actually stone cold sober? On a podcast last
year, writes Curb, Davidson broke character and sold Seth Myers. There was
an actual plan for the boat. Regular conference calls about its redesign and even
renderings quoting Peace. We had them and do one of those computer generated show
you what it could be things curved asks. But who's them? One report
on the ferry purchase named a fourth partner ron, an architect who's worked for
some companies I've never heard of. Doesn't mean they're not good. I've just
never heard of them. On the website for that firm, it lists the
JFKA Ferry as a project they're working on for JFK Partners, with a budget
of thirty four million dollars. Thirty four million dollars. That's not a blown
autit there, I said it twice. Thirty four million dollars and a floor
plan of sixty five thousand square feet thirty four million dollars. A short video
that played on his website last month showed his renderings for each floor. A
top deck furnished with patio tables set with umbrellas, another floor with two rolls
of hotel rooms that open on a sun decks, and a lower level with
two clubs thirty four million dollars. The ferry may open with two restaurants and
six bars. I mean it's big. It's not six bars and two restaurants
big. I don't think. I'm not an architect. I'm not an expert.
Been on the ferry. Fe so doesn't say that big so. Curb
interviewed this guy and as what's Pete and Collins role? He said, they
have input, They see everything. We have meetings as needed, sometimes twice
a week, sometimes every three months. They asked him about the six bars
and two restaurants. The guy said, it's gonna have a lot of things.
I think right now we have six bars and two venues operated separately or
combined. We have an outdoor event space, We have restaurants, two restaurants.
It's a big boat, almost three hundred feet long, sixty five thousand
square feet curved. Asked Pete. Davison said it would have two hotels.
Is that still happening? The guy said, it's only one floor of hotel
rooms. Twenty four rooms on the fifth floor. They have private sun decks,
but no pool pool. Something keeps coming up. We're going back and
forth. There's a little chacuozi kind of thing, but not a full on
pool. We'd have to do a floating pool. And Davison said it's gonna
go between Miami and New York City. The guy said, yeah, I
think that's exactly Still, the plan doesn't have to be in one place.
It can move. This is amazing. All right, This is going in
the Facebook group, but Daily Comedy News podcast group. If you want to
read this yourself because it's uh. I would always say it's unbelievable, but
it's uh. Makes me go thirty four million dollars several times watched this.
I'll be here in eight years telling you how Pete Davidson's a billionaire from this.
Ferry Triumph, the insult comic Dog, has released a special and he
Triumph spoke to a Consequence of Sound. Rob Smigle, the voice and hand
up Triumph's Booty, has just released an edited version of Let's Make a Poop,
the live game show taped at San Francisco Sketch Fest. Smichael told Consequence
he didn't have as much control over the taping of the show as he would
have liked. It felt like it was the most enjoyable show had done live
in like twenty years. If I had really shot him more carefully, I
might have tried to sell it somewhere. I didn't feel it was in that
kind of shape, but I still think it's worth sharing, so I decided
I would share it on YouTube for free. I gotta remember to watch this
this weekend. Last night my daughter had a theater show, so that killed
Friday in ITV, and you know, the new baseball games out on the
video game platforms. Gotta make some time for that. Plus my phone's exploding.
I listened to all these podcasts, which pairs up nicely with playing baseball
on the video game. Johnny Mack digresses. So Michael says the sketch Fest
show stands out because it had this unusual dynamic of having weird Al Yankovic there
and having people sing his presumed song parodies, and that played out really well
live on stage, had a really hot audience and a really good time,
and Rob Schneider was a funny target. As for including Schneider, Michael says,
I'm always for putting people on as long as there are no restrictions for
triumph, as long as triumph can tear into the person, and I feel
like a tour and a Rob Pretty well, that's kind of the point that
people you want are rich subjects. You may or may not know that Rob
Schneider has gotten politically outspoken in recent years. So Michael says, there was
a passketch fest and they didn't want the particular guests. They were like,
now the audience will be too upset, and I'm like, you don't get
it. The whole point hasn't going to tear into this person. It'll be
very satisfying. So Michael understands why people have this impulse. Everything is so
heightened down. People don't even want to give platforms to dot dot dot.
The word normalized is a very popular word. Now. I had to take
my sweatshirt off. It's five trillion degrees in the basement today. I don't
know why it's cold out. So Michael says, there is a class person
that I wouldn't give a platform too, even to make fun. People that
I feel are like grifters and are saying things they don't even necessarily means they're
saying it to cultivate a certain audience. I didn't feel like Rob Schneider fell
into that category, but there are people that do, and I wouldn't interact
with them, even as Triumph. I'd just be like, nah, I
don't want to get anything out of this. I don't want you to come
away feeling like you got exposure credit for laughing yourself. They're not doing it
in a funny way like Triumph might do. They're not entertaining. Some of
them think they are, but they're not really funny enough to justify that.
They're just fanning the flames of paranoia and anger. I wonder who he means,
Like seriously, wonder who he means. He did want to have on
commentator Ben Shapiro. Triumph would have had a field day with Ben Shapiro.
I don't know if San Francisco's audience it'll let me do it. But I
like putting people out and ridiculing them if they're willing to take it. And
I feel like that guy has always been consistent, least he feels like he
genuinely subscribes to what he says. That's a lot more tolerable to me,
a lot of people find him obnoxious, but he tries to speak intelligently.
Smichael says, now this interview is going to be like Smichel defends Ben Shapiro.
Rolling Stone tagged on and said, triumphast if he could perform some of
his favorite weird house boofs, only he delivered some whole there is dumb,
half baked ones. Al definitely didn't write one dumplings, said to bon chovis
wanted dead or alive. Another mud slide, a take on Fleetwood, Max
Lan slide about fast casual takeout and bowel movements. Triumph pretended weird. Al
wrote numerous parodies of green Day's Good Riddance, one being about being confused by
cream cheese with chives, one about cutting a cantelope with a plastic knife,
one about a flight attendant explaining how a seat works as a flotation device,
and one about not getting Paul Thomas Anderson's inherent vice this is fun and I
forgot I pulled the clip. Let's listen, Michael winso Man is amazing.
Michael Winslow can reproduce any sound except for a casting director saying you got the
part notable for twenty Please know the bulls for twenty Okay, Republicans in twenty
six states have been working to outlaw this act that many conservatives consider immoral.
What is voting Okay? During the game show Puperty, which you just heard
twice, the game required audio clues to answer questions about who wrote famous pop
parodies of songs by Rim and Lona del Rey. Thomas Lennon came out first,
delivering a version of losing my religion about purchasing per Simmons, sam or
Ruffin tackle, the latter turning summertime status into a tune about watching tennis.
Great Pete Sampras close it out. Triumph got weird Alu himself to perform a
duet of one of the fake songs, a spoof of Chandelier about wanting to
binge old sitcoms, the chorus, I want to watch mister Belvedere love it
Wow long again. Today there's just been so much news. I just bumped
five stories. We've got plenty of other days. We can get to things
on your HBO Max Max HBO Max Tonight, Romi yousef more Feelings. Rommi
will offer his unique reflections on our divided world. The unexpected perils of charitable
giving and more, including the twenty twenty four presidential election, the importance of
prayer, and a childhood book report that changed the course of his life.
Before October seventh, Romy says he was touring an hour long set that included
a story about going home with a woman and finding out she had and Israeli
flag on the wall. He says, I'm horny, so I'm trying to
justify it. That's the star of David, that's their logo. It's just
Jewish big Post October seventh, he didn't have to throw everything out and start
over, but he knew he'd have to write about it after friends started reaching
out. October tenth, they get a call from a guy. I know,
yo, bro, where are you at with Hamas? Yusef is defiant?
Where I'm at? Are we effing you think any of us like what
happened? We hate seeing people die. It made me cry. His punchline
spoiler, you know me? You think I'm Jumas, bro, I'm a
Taliman. Guy talked about people asking him about Israel and Hamas and he said,
let's be real, at the bottom of the question. The bottom of
the question is you think I'm out like this, you think there's a chance.
I think terrorism's cool. And he was asked, was the punchline always
Taliban? He said, we tried Bocoharram, but their brand isn't strong enough
to get the pop or the laugh you want. The interviewer was like,
wait really, Robbi said no, it was always Taliban. That's not the
kind of joke you can workshop with a bunch of Arabs, though, because
at a certain point someone non Arab shows up and goes, what are you
guys talking about? The joke in of itself creates the problem you're trying to
avoid. The New Indian Express was curious about in the special, did somebody
from Joe Biden's campaign really reach out to you in twenty twenty? Romy said,
yeah, itIt a zoom. I mean they're nice people, by the
way, like they're really good and I think, you know, obviously in
the special, it's kind of fun to play with those situations. We'ren't a
really interesting predicament where it's kind of like, hey, you sure you want
to complain about Biden because Trump is worse? And then it's kind of like,
all right, you know that's kind of textbook abuse, right, you
know, you don't say anything because then it's going to get worse. And
you say, Okay, I thought we're in a democracy, or aren't we
supposed to kind of question it and poke at it. And then I'm feeling
an interesting thing where we're kind of voicing what I think is an incredibly fair
argument and also starting to feel this feeling of, hey, you might blow
this election for Robbie might get himself in trouble. Here he was asked about
Taylor Swift coming to see one of his shows, and he said, I
mean she was like person of the Year. It kind of becomes this huge
talking point or whatever. I've kind of a throw away joke about it.
Watch out, be careful here, let's listen to what the throw away joke
might be. Says. For the most part, it's like we just met,
you know, Like she was a big fan of the movie Poor Things.
Boy, She's gonna be mad at that joke. So I don't know
if that's gonna say, but she's a really cool person. All Right,
that's long enough for today's mura. It's gonna be long too, because I
could tell you have any stories I just bumped. That's your comedy news for
today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They
might like it too. Come back tomorrow. It'll be robust to see you here.
