Johnny Mac delivers a messy, off-script Daily Comedy News episode after seeing an email that Netflix Is a Joke Festival added 170+ shows, including “Comedy for the Community” Altadena Eaton Fire Relief hosted by Dion Cole, Timmy No Breaks at The Comedy Store (May 4), and shows from Rosebud Baker and Cheryl Underwood; he notes the news hasn’t hit Deadline or Variety yet. He also covers SXSW Comedy’s 2026 lineup featuring Bill Burr, Chelsea Peretti, Devon Walker, Eric Andre, Frankie Quinones, and Natasha Leggero, plus events tied to Don’t Tell Comedy, The Moth/Comic Relief, Dropout, Facebook, Fox, Funny or Die, and Gotham. He mentions Dusty Slay’s book We’re Having a Good Time, highlights Morristown’s Purim Comedy Night with Raanan Hershberg, discusses Hirschberg’s comments about Louis CK and Joe Rogan, teases noon’s Comedy Survivor results, and shares items on Atsuko Okatsuka and Katherine Blandford.

AND Bill Burr's bad run continues.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.720
Caalorokashock media. Wow, big hot news just came in. I

2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.160
am Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news, A daily

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.879
briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry.

4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.039
A sentence the algorithm loves. So I just in in

5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.800
my world. I recorded Sunday, and then what you do

6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.600
is you recorded. I use a program called Logic on

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.760
my MacBook and you then you have to bounce the

8
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.160
file so it mixes down everything, and then you send

9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.039
it off somewhere and that takes like a minute. So

10
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.280
during that I did what I usually do and I

11
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.079
checked my email. Now this is not in my script.

12
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.240
This just hit my inbox. I'm doing this as cold

13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.640
as it gets. The headline Netflix is a joke festival.

14
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.920
Just added one hundred and seventy plus shows added to

15
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.679
Netflix is a joke festival. So you're getting this as

16
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.359
I'm getting it, unless, of course, you read the email

17
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.640
on Friday afternoon. Again, I'm not working with a script.

18
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.759
Let me scroll down here. Is there actual No, there's

19
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.280
just a lot of artwork. So I'm gonna have to

20
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.200
see if they sent this out to deadline or something.

21
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.680
But let's just do it. This way. This is fun.

22
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:07.879
This is how the show gets put together. Okay, this

23
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.560
is a graphic thing. They have announced comedy for the community,

24
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.920
the Altadna Eaton Fire Relief, hosted by Dion Coldion's Fantastic

25
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.120
Timmy No Breaks at the Comedy Store on the fourth

26
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:24.159
of May. Individual shows from rosewud Baker Cheryl Underwood. This

27
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.959
is an interesting title. The end Ari Shaffer's renamed Storytelling show.

28
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.359
I guess others on the rights to the various this

29
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.760
is not happening. Tag it with the scar Brothers, Chris O'Connor,

30
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.640
Jay Jorden, Ron Funches, Cristella Alonso and friends, Guy Tory

31
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.040
and so many more and in the end, so many more,

32
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.959
Box Mally, Kearney, Yakoff, Smirnoff in a bunch All right,

33
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:49.959
let's bunch over our deadline. Let's see if there's a

34
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.159
story there. We are producing the show live on tape,

35
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.079
my friends. Nothing there, We'll check variety. This is how

36
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.799
the show gets put together. I could edit this out. No,

37
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.599
no there either. Also, Friday afternoon is a weird time

38
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.719
to announce anything. No, hasn't hit the wires yet. Maybe

39
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.960
I'll have more for you tomorrow. My original number one

40
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.840
story very similar south By Southwest Unveil's twenty twenty six

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.960

Jared Freed, Pete Lee Nope, I think i've I mean,

47
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:34.520
I could read you fifty names, but I think I

48
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.159
read you the big ones. During south By there will

49
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.199

51
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.280
be the Creak of the Cave on Saturday, March fourteenth.

52
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.960
Some of the events include Bombing with Eric Andre, eric

53
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.560

Comic Relief, and The Moth Present Funny Story Two Paarhouses

55
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.360
unite for an Unforgettable evening of stories. The Moth, whose

56
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.919
live storytelling events and Bloff podcasts have broad over sixty

57
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.520
five thousand true personal stories to audience as worldwide partners

58
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.280
with Comic relief. Dropout will host crowd Control, a live

59
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.840
stand up show where the audience is the main material.

60
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.080
Looks like dropouts all over this thing. They'll also host

61
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.240
Dirty Laundry, which is for guests telling secrets and then

62
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.319
you have to guess who the secrets belong to, and

63
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.000
you can also have some beverages. Drop Out improv in

64
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.120
this show, hosted by Kurt Maloney. Improv skills will be

65
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.879
on show for a night of varied games and freewheeling comedy.

66
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.960
Facebook Presents Stand Up Comedy. Now maybe like twenty years ago,

67
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.479
that sentence sounds cool. That just sounds really vanilla corporate.

68
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.159
It's titled Facebook Presents stand Up Comedy. Could you just

69
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.919
suck all the cool out of that sentence? Facebook is

70
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.800
excited to present an unforgettable evening of stand up comedy

71
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.439
where the global stage meets the comedy stage. Exclamation point.

72
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.439
With three billion people connecting on Facebook globally every month,

73
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.639
comedians are able to showcase their talent and grow their

74
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.719
audience around the world. Now we're bringing this vibrant community

75
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.560
to south By Southwest Comedy. Oh my god, that is

76
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.479
so corporate. Please south By has gotten really, I mean,

77
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.400
this is just this is like the establishment pretending that

78
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.520
they're all the next up. Fox Entertainment Studios Comedy Showcase

79
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.680
featuring The Dress Up Gang and Friends. Let me read

80
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.079
that again because I deliberately skipped the last four words.

81
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.040
Look be the full title this time. Fox Entertainment Studios

82
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.319
Comedy Showcase featuring The Dress Up Gang and Friends, hosted

83
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.560
by Bill Burr. Bill Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, you had

84
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.720
a terrible You had a terrible, terrible twenty twenty five.

85
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.600
You had I think the worst year of any of

86
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.160
the big comedians. Last year. You just lost the plot, Buddy.

87
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.040
And now Bill Burr's hosting the Fox Entertainment Studios Comedy

88
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.480
Showcase featuring the Dress Up Gang and Friends. Bill, just

89
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.480
call your nex special. I'm in this for the money.

90
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.600
I know we're all in this for the money. I'm

91
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.279
hosting this podcast right now so I can run some

92
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.519
commercials during the break. I'm in this for the money.

93
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.120
But let's just be honest, Bill, the coolness is gone.

94
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.399
What are you doing? Bill? Hosted Biami and Grammy nominated

95
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.319
comedian actor and director Bill Burr. The evening embodies the bold,

96
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.879
fearless spirit of the Fox Comedy brand. Guys, The Fox

97
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:17.360
Comedy brand is Dennis Leary's military show. What is that

98
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.680
called Going Dutch? That's the Fox Comedy brand. The Fox

99
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.160
Comedy brand is Joel Mchall's Animal Patrol or whatever that's called.

100
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.120
That's the brand if you want to tell me, but

101
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.439
the Simpsons. The Simpsons came out in the eighties. Guys,

102
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.959
Bill Burr, face of the fearless Fox Comedy brand, Funny

103
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.040
or Die Approved, in partnership with the stand Funny or

104
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.879
Die is resurrecting their legendary live comedy legacy. Think the

105
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.959
spirit of the original epic oddball festivals back and blessed

106
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.720
by the comedy gods themselves. This isn't just another stand

107
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.600
up show. It's a handpicked, ruthlessly curated night of comedy

108
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.480
that's earned the ultimate stamp Funny or Die Approved, and

109
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.839
it's hosted by peat Lee The Gotham Comedy. For nearly

110
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.639
thirty years, Gotham has been one of New York's top

111
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.839
stand up venues. That is true. They're good guys over there,

112
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.800
like them. Used to regularly see them back in the

113
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.560
day when I worked at the Old Place. My favorite

114
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.800
lyrics live. Welcome to the first ever live recording of

115
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.279
Devin Walker's podcast, My favorite lyrics, the show where we

116
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.759
talk about music lyrics. The Stand is producing a couple shows. Okay,

117
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.759
now we're doing on time. I feel like I'm long already.

118
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.759
Now we got some time still. Okay. You know who's

119
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.439
coming out with a book, Dusty Sligh. Yeah, you know

120
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.879
what Dusty Slay called his book. That's right, he's calling

121
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.560
it We're having a good time. I guess that makes sense.

122
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.000
What else Wouldusty Slay call his book? That's his catchphrase

123
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.360
in We're having a good time. Dusty Slay looks back

124
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.480
in his early days, including dropping out of college at

125
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.600
age eighteen and getting arrested at nineteen, which interrupted his

126
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.399
plans to join the army. In his early twenties, Dusty

127
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.120
Slay left his Alabama hometown for Charleston, South Carolina, where

128
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.160
he worked in a seafood restaurant while building a stand

129
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.839
up career. During evening open mics, Dusty Sleigh recounts his

130
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.560
journey from pesticide salesperson to touring comedian, along with stories

131
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.839
from his childhood performances and more. The book teases his

132
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.160
trademark humor and wit I have it on my calendar

133
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:13.959
this morning to reach out to the publicist and see

134
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.720
if I can get Dusty Sleigh on this show, which

135
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.360
reminds me I forgot I got distracted by the Netflix email.

136
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.360
If you skipped the weekend shows Saturday, Pete Holmes for

137
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.839
forty minutes was really good. Make sure you go back

138
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.120
and listen to that one. Love Pete, Dusty's and I

139
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:27.839
wanted to write this book to capture some of the

140
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.600
stories that I think are really funny, orterest thing, but

141
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.199
have never made it to the stage. Now this next one,

142
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.160
I might have to leave my house, which would just

143
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.000
be amazing. And I'm not going to leave my house,

144
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.160
but just down the road for me. At the Horseshoe

145
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.560
Tavern in Morristown, New Jersey, ron On Hirschberg is performing

146
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.759
at Horseshoe. I hang out at the brewery, which is differently.

147
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.439
It's the breweries where the trivia guys go horseshoes for

148
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.759
the young kids. Although sometimes this if you're from this area,

149
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.360
you know who the nerds are. They're like, this is

150
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.680
a local legend cover band. They're really a lot of fun.

151
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.000
They play horseshoes sometimes, but horshes for the young kids.

152
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.720
But tonight it's poor him. A comedy night at the

153
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.879
Horseshoe Tavern Ronnin Hirschberg will be there. Rabbi Moishe Gerwitz

154
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.639
as Purim is about joy, resilience, and Jewish pride. Comedy

155
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.000
night is a way to celebrate the holiday in a fun, meaningful,

156
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.879
and uplifting way. I love this. So if your local

157
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.439
head on over to the Horseshoe Tavern, we're told security

158
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.439
we'll be present to ensure it is safe and welcoming

159
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.639
environment for all attendees. Now, as it turns out, I

160
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.199
happen to have a Ronin Hirschberg. Oh my god, I

161
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.000
was about to tell you that people keep calling me.

162
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.080
Hold on, I have to take this phone call. Hey John,

163
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.200
all right, I made an edit there. I'm all discombobulated.

164
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.039
I even get to tell you that my wife called

165
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.879
in the middle of the Ronin Hirschberg story. But that

166
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.399
was the hot tub guy I've mentioned. It was like

167
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.480
negative of forty degrees for like six months. I think

168
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.200
hot tub sprung a leak. Can have to run some

169
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.240
more ads. Buy me a coffee, you might have to

170
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:54.679
buy me, let me do some math. You might have

171
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.080
for buy me four hundred coffees and buy me a coffee.

172
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.600
Dot Cops last daily comedy. It is to fix the

173
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.960
hot tap. Oh my goodness, first world problems, where worry.

174
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.960
I'm trying to tell you. I could edit all this out,

175
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.960
but that's not fun. I'm trying to tell you this

176
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.360
Ronin Hirschberg story. But my wife called and like now,

177
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.360
and I scrolled down and I lost it and I'm

178
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.600
all discombobulated now and I had this all pulled together?

179
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:20.120
Where did that story even go? Ronin Hirschberg was found it.

180
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.399
Ron Hersberg was profiled by the Telegraph in twenty twenty two.

181
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.080
Hirschberg opened for Louis c. K in Germany, and he

182
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.639
said they laughed at every joke because they feel so guilty.

183
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:32.559
I said I was Jewish, and they gave me a

184
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.679
standing ovation. He had a little more serious. I think

185
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.679
there was a time when Germans couldn't laugh about that stuff,

186
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.559
but now they're happy to let me make fun of them.

187
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.039
Hirschberg says his early tries and stand up. We're just

188
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.600
trying to make rednecks laugh. Then he moved to New York.

189
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.120
He talked about his complicated relationship with the arts and said,

190
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.720
I think as a Jew It's a little easier for

191
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.360
me to separate the art from the artist because I've

192
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.120
had a love so many great artists who are anti Semitic, Shakespeare, Dickens,

193
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.600
basically any writer before nineteen fifty. Hirschberg appeared on The

194
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.600
Joe Rogan Experience and said, I hate Joe Rogan. I

195
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.559
think he's a danger to society. He's always spreading misinformation.

196
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.600
The only way I'd ever go on his podcast is

197
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.320
if he asked me. Rogan did ask, and on twenty

198
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.639
twenty four they talked about everything from having children to

199
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.639
conspiracy theories. Hirschberg says Rogan was extremely nice to me.

200
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.360
A lot of my anger towards him started later. I

201
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.440
didn't make fun of him until hen On Elon Musk

202
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.080
defending the defunding of US aid that was such a

203
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.120
horrible atrocity, and to see him there with Joe Rogan

204
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.080
laughing his stupid jokes and made me furious. I don't

205
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.480
think Joe Rogan has bad intentions, but I do think

206
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.000
he's an agenda to attack the credibility of academia and

207
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.639
mainstream journalism, and that's really dangerous. Like endorsing Trump using

208
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.360
his influence to help him get elected. If you can't

209
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.279
get mad at someone for that, who can you get

210
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.399
mad at? I'm exhausted. I don't know why this particular

211
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.759
episode that you're listening to right now is taking a

212
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.039
lot out of me. I don't know if it's the

213
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.320
phone calls or the distractions, or my computer's jumping all

214
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:51.879
over the pages. I'm trying to read a script I

215
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.279
don't know. Coming up at noon today, Comedy Survivor. The

216
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.159
results are incredible. I had so much fun recording the

217
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.200
results of Comedy Survivors. So you'll find out who went home.

218
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.440
But there's also a new fascinating twist in all this.

219
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.279
And I didn't invent the twist. The AI did. The

220
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.360
AI pointed something out. Every week I throw the votes

221
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.240
into the AI just to check my work, and the

222
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.600
AI has identified you know what. Come back at noon

223
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.720
and you'll find out what the AI identified. If just

224
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.279
I'm fascinated by this. It's so much fun. If you're

225
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.279
new to Comedy Survivor, it's a distinct legal parody of

226
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.559
whatever you think I'm at, distinctly legally parodying. It's called

227
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.720
Comedy Survivor Or. We put sixteen comedians on an island

228
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.799
and every week the Facebook group votes someone off the island.

229
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:38.639
What you do is you go to Daily Comedy News

230
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.480
podcast group after noon Eastern today Monday. You'll see a

231
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.480
drawing of me and the latest person voted off the island,

232
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.600
and in there you will write down the name of

233
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.360
one of the people who remain. Come back at noon.

234
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.679
I'll explain all that then currently still on the island.

235
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.080
Only I know if she's been voted off or not.

236
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:02.000
Otsgo at Cotska is becoming a celebrity man. She's working

237
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.720
to pair two lucky singles and transport them to an

238
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.879
anti approved first date to Singapore thanks to the Singapore

239
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.200
Tourism Board. Hey Singapore Tourism Board, you got any extra

240
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.240
ad money? I got a hot tupper pair. Plus I've

241
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.440
never been to Singapore. I'll go. I'll read anything. Otsko

242
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.720
says it's more important than ever to lean on the

243
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.840
matriarchal support system of anties, especially in dating. She explained

244
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.559
her thought experiment to People magazine and said, imagine them

245
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.159
going swimming. That'd be good because if she was always

246
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:30.840
looking for someone who has her back, and she felt

247
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.360
like that never happened, putting herself in a dangerous situation

248
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.679
like swimming, can really test chemistry having a common enemy.

249
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.519
She talked about her own dating experience. One time, I

250
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.039
was at a grocery store and this guy bought a

251
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.240
raw squid for me. She was initially flattered and agreed

252
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.480
to the date, but he was super immature and he

253
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.159
was like, do you like my house three stories? And

254
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.600
I'm like, yeah, I do like your house. And then

255
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.600
I started seeing photo of him as a kid everywhere.

256
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.039
There were a lot of family photos about, and then

257
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.720
I found out it was actually his mom's place. He's like,

258
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.200
we have to hurry with this date because she's gonna

259
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.320
come home. And I was like, can you even afford

260
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.679
that squid that you bought me? That's really funny. And

261
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.759
from Nola dot com we learned that Catherine Blandford enjoys

262
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.840
the Kentucky Derby. Catherine Blandford learned that name that is

263
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.799
a comedian to watch. Catherine says, my parents started let

264
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.879
me go to the Derby by myself, maybe sophomore year

265
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.480
of high school. I understood why they were hesitant. As

266
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.919
soon as I walked in, I saw a bunch of

267
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:21.519
men in suits in a circle. I was like, what's

268
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.120
going on. I pushed through and there were girls in

269
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.399
nice pressby dresses diving into a mud pit for one

270
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.919
hundred dollar bills for her special Catholic cowgirl. She wanted

271
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.360
to film it in Louisville and have a painted horse

272
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.799
on stage. The Louisville filming didn't work out. She decided

273
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:36.960
to do it at the Riot Comedy Club in Houston,

274
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.240
but still wanted a horse. She said, Once I had

275
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.279
my heart set on having a horse on stage, it

276
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.919
wasn't going to not happen. I flew down there to

277
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.960
look at party rentals and I couldn't find one. Then

278
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.559
I found one on Facebook Marketplace. It was the Renaissance

279
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.639
Horse from Beyonce's Renaissance Tour. I was like, oh, I'm

280
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.279
not buying it. I'm just renting it for a day.

281
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.679
And she was like, yeah, just don't sit on it. Ah,

282
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.559
And my voice is shot. I have to edit like

283
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.039
five of these things, and hopefully I don't have jury duty,

284
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:02.799
because if I do, I'm gonna have to call the

285
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.240
hot tub guy back and be like, yeah, don't come Monday.

286
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.919
After all, I'll let you know what happened eventually. And

287
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.039
that is your very messy addition of daily comedy news

288
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.360
on a Monday, see at noon for Comedy Survivor
