Johnny Mac records Daily Comedy News from a dark basement during a multi-day power outage as out-of-state crews reconnect lines. He reports a People Magazine item claiming Adam Sandler quickly agreed to officiate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding and kept it low-key, and notes he couldn’t pull a planned Michael Loftus comment due to no internet. USA Today quotes comedians criticizing Louis CK’s Netflix return, including remarks from Margaret Cho, W. Kamau Bell, and Steve Hofstetter; Mac adds an anecdote about Hofstetter’s past album art targeting Larry the Cable Guy. He discusses a Rob Shuter Substack claiming Stephen Colbert is struggling after his show’s cancellation and is writing, including work on a Lord of the Rings film. In a “Bad Ideas” segment he covers Leslie Jones’ HGTV series Roast My Rental, Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast network launch, and Armisen/Brownstein’s Portlandia rewatch podcast. He also mentions Bobby Flay enjoying golf with Colin Jost and profiles UK satirical candidate Count Binface (formerly Lord Buckethead).

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.080
Caloroga Shark Media. You're not supposed to roadblock the top

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:13.759
of a show. Well, let me set the scene for

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.120
you here. Hello, I'm Johnny back with your daily Company news.

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.440
I'm in the basement. There's no power. I'm sitting in

5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.480
the spot where I usually record the show, illuminated by

6
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.839
the lights of my flashlight. Now, the power lines have

7
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.600
been on the ground for like six days, and about

8
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.280
twenty minutes ago a power crew from Alabama came to

9
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.320
reattach the power lines to my house. And I'm in

10
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.399
New Jersey, so I appreciate these guys coming all the

11
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.679
way up. So that's the sitch here. But of course

12
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.600
the power guys are on the lawn, which is making

13
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.399
the dog's bark, and I'm sitting in the dark. So

14
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.600
that's the scene today. But luckily I had prepped almost

15
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.439
all of the show before jomping in here. Let's get

16
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.200
to at Adam Sandler said yes right away when he

17
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.200
was asked would he officiate the wedding of Taylor Swift

18
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.280
and Travis Kelcey. A source tells People Magazine Sandler was

19
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.640
incredibly on it to be part of such a special day.

20
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.120
The source ads that Sandler was the perfect person to

21
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.879
serve as efficient, noting that Sailor has been happily married

22
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.760
for so many years to his wife Jackie. They just

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.760
celebrated their twenty third anniversary. I mean, yeah, I've been

24
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.319
happily married for over twenty five years, and I qualified.

25
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.079
Who knows. Sailor wasn't just trying to find the perfect

26
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.519
words or make it this big production. He just wanted

27
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.719
to speak from the heart, pass along a little wisdom

28
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.959
that he's gained from his own happy marriage. People tells

29
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.599
us Sandlor kept it low key before the big wedding.

30
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:33.840
He was seen stepping out in the New York City

31
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.040
heat wave hours before the wedding to shoot some hoops.

32
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.599
As one does. Sandlor headed out in his signature basketball

33
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.159
shorts and yellow T shirt. You know, Sandlor and I

34
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.319
could be friends. No, I'm not kidding. I went for

35
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.760
a run this morning in a yellow T shirt and shorts. Weird,

36
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.959
told Sandlor. Right after the basketball went out to pick

37
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.159
up coffee for his family. Back in twenty twenty five,

38
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.359
Sandlor told Entertainment Tonight, Travis Kelsey's like the guys I

39
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.280
grew up with when I was with. Travis reminded me

40
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.599
of my buddies, an eye, just being able to laugh

41
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.799
and say the things you want to say. Taylor is incredible.

42
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.120
Taylor so damn nice to my family and has always been.

43
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:08.800
My kids have met Taylor a bunch of times over

44
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.039
the years, and she's ridiculously nice to them and warm.

45
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.759
Now see, here's our first I could edit this out,

46
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.719
but here's our first victim of the power outage. Here

47
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.759
in the two slot, I had some comments from comedian

48
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.039
Michael Loftus who was saying that the marriage went on

49
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.639
the last three years. But I didn't actually paste to

50
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.120
the script, and now I don't have power to grab

51
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.520
the article. See if I can get it on my phone,

52
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.400
Why don't you edit this out, John, because that's not fun.

53
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.400
I'm sitting in the dark. This is not a bit. Nope,

54
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.400
I don't have enough Internet to find that story. So

55
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.560
now we know what we'll be in tomorrow's show. Moving on,

56
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.360
John Focus USA today asked a bunch of comedians about

57
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.319
that guy Louis c K. You know Louis c K.

58
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:46.879
He used to be canceled, but now he's got a

59
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.120
big Netflix special. That's not that good, Margaret Chow posted

60
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.520
on threads I'm gonna have to clean this up a

61
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.319
little bit. Louis c K should have just had an

62
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.960
onlyfan so people could pay to watch him do the

63
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.120
kind of thing Louie likes to do in front of people,

64
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.400
instead of subjecting female comment to it. Missed financial opportunity.

65
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.120
W Camal Bell on his sub stack took a break

66
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.639
from taking shots at Mega Comedian Apraghatzy Bell wrote, so

67
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.840
many people at Netflix had a sign off on ck

68
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.199
getting invited to the festival and getting a new special.

69
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.120
What were they all thinking? So many people have to

70
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.759
work the show that he headlines, whether they want it

71
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.719
or not. So many comedians will be at events and

72
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.000
parties with Louis c K whether they want to be

73
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.919
in the room with a known sex pest or not.

74
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.400
So many people who make so much less money than

75
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.319
him will have to pretend like they're okay being in

76
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.080
the same room as him. This is how showbiz works.

77
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.240
I will agree with mister Bell in this is how

78
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.319
showbiz works. If you want to hang around with people

79
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.000
who are cool and not at all a holes, don't

80
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.719
get into showbiz. Comedian Steve Hofstatter said the brief hiatus

81
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.159
never amounted to real accountability. Steve said comics take time

82
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.039
off all the time to work on a screenplay, to

83
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:52.919
go on vacation. The idea of having to take six

84
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.240
months off the road was somehow sentence for his behavior

85
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.960
is ridiculous. There's nothing America loves more than a redemption story.

86
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.120
If he had come back with Trician, with understanding and

87
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:02.840
with the desire to help prevent it from happening to

88
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.319
other people instead of a woe is me attitude, would

89
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.879
have been a very different response. I'm gonna point out

90
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.280
here because I'm friends with both Steve and Larry the

91
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.599
Cable Guy. Steve factually put out an album one time

92
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.800
called Cure for the Cable Guy. The cover of that

93
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.920
album is an effigy of someone being hung that is

94
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.399
dressed similar to the way Larry the Cable Guy does

95
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.240
it during his act. I know that Larry was quite

96
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.560
hurt by this and confused by his because he didn't

97
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.680
know or interact with Steve. And you've heard me say

98
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.879
a million times on the show Dan Whitney, Larry the

99
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.519
Cable Guy is an awesome, awesome guy. Not sure why

100
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.879
Steve chose to call his album that, but that was

101
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.279
an awkward time, and if you make me pick, I'm

102
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.360
on team Cable guy in that fight, Rob Shooter has

103
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:50.600
a pretty gossipy sub stack. He often quotes sources and

104
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.000
doesn't put names to the sources. So take this with

105
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.399
a grain of salt. As they say, but Shooter wrote,

106
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.040
sources tell naughty but nice. Stephen Colbert has largely he

107
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.000
retreated from public view as the reality of his cancelation

108
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.240
sinks in. I don't know, but you know, the show's

109
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.560
only been over for a month. It's summertime. What is

110
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.439
the guy supposed to do? Like? Can't take a break,

111
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.439
but Shooter rates friend saint. Colbert is heartbroken, frustrated, and

112
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.959
struggling to imagine life after spending years at the center

113
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:22.120
of late night television. One insider says, this wasn't one

114
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.839
insider see what I'm saying. This wasn't just a job.

115
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.639
It was his identity. Stephen poured everything into that show.

116
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.120
Losing it has hit him hard. Shooters column adds the

117
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.600
emotional toll was hard to miss when Colbert attended Taylor

118
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.600
Swift's wedding over the weekend, where guest spot at the

119
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.519
usually upbea comedian looking unusually subdued. And miserable. How do

120
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.120
we know this? I thought nobody was talking about this wedding?

121
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.160
How do we know this? Even longtime colleagues are surprised

122
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.319
by how little they've heard from him. Another source, again

123
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.560
no name, says he's always been the one holding everyone

124
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.639
else together. Now he's the one who needs time. He

125
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.800
stepped away to figure out what comes next. Yeah. An

126
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.639
insider reveals writing is what's saving him now. It's giving

127
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.199
him somewhere to channel everything he's feeling. You may recall

128
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.000
Stephen is working on a new Lord of the Rings

129
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.120
film for some reason. One source says this isn't retirement,

130
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.519
it's recovery. Once he's ready, he'll be back. Yeah, no kidding.

131
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.519
All right, this next segment, I'm gonna call bad ideas

132
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.120
Bad Idea Number one. Leslie Jones is giving property owners

133
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:22.800
a reality check on HGTV's upcoming series Roast My Rental.

134
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.360
That's right, it's Roast My Rentals, starring Leslie Jones. This

135
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.759
will be out Friday, July twenty fourth, Because you know,

136
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.759
don't you want to sit home on Friday night and

137
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.439
watch Leslie Jones Roast Rentals. There's a trailer. Let's listen.

138
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:46.879
Please take me to my vacation villa. Whoa disgusting Millions

139
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.199
of people check into vacation rentals each year and when

140
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.879
that great, they can make a trip unforgettable. This is

141
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.839
blow What in a fresh black plague? Is this?

142
00:06:59.160 --> 00:06:59.360
Oh?

143
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.279
No? But sometimes was posted online? That's not reality? Do

144
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.839
we need to call the authority? Snason would love this

145
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.279
because this is definitely a serial Killers. Then I'm Leslie Jones,

146
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.759
and as a comedian, I travel a lot and I've

147
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.319
seen it all the good, the bad, and the what

148
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.959
were they thinking? Sometimes a property just loses his way,

149
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.399
and that's where I come in these.

150
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.079
Owners now, fortunately for us, and I'm not doing a bit.

151
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.680
That's when the power went out as I was pulling

152
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.120
the clip. I lost the Internet and that was all

153
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.879
the clip I was able to pull. But luckily for us.

154
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.360
I mean, do you want to watch that? We are

155
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.040
told after Leslie Jones scopes out each property and gives

156
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.120
owners an honest roast, She then calls on renovation expert

157
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.800
and help I wreck my house star Jasmine Roth to

158
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.240
help with the major overhaul roast my rental Friday, July

159
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.240
twenty fourth, at ten pm. If you have no life

160
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.279
now you have something to watch. Bad idea Number two,

161
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.279
Chelsea Handler is expanding her podcast network. It's the launch

162
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.639
of the Dear Chelsea Network because Chelsea Handlers at the

163
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.560
peak of her popularity right now after the Kevin Hart roast.

164
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.040
This is great timing the multi year partnership with iHeart.

165
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.519
We'll see the creation of several new shows executive produced

166
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.839
by Chelsea Handler. A suit over there says, Chelsea has

167
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.560
become an incredibly influential voice in the podcasting space with

168
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.839
her unique ability to create community among her listeners. I

169
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.759
will be honest with you, I'm finding out as I

170
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.879
read that sentence that Chelsea even has a podcast. And

171
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.839
I'm in the podcast industry and go to shows and

172
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.000
google the word comedy every day and do this show.

173
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.399
Not sure how popular it is, but I have no Internet,

174
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.080
so I can't tell you. The first podcast launching on

175
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.879
the Deer Chelsea Network will be You're the Problem with Yaminika,

176
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:48.399
hosted by Yaminika Saunders and longtime friended producer Syree Rush.

177
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.120
That'll be out July fifteenth, that's Wednesday. It focuses on

178
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.279
pop culture in the moment, current events, news and politics.

179
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.240
As a podcasting expert. I could tell you from that

180
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.559
description that means the show's completely on foot focused and

181
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.039
it's we're going to talk about, you know, stuff that

182
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.279
never works. Chelsea Handler says, when I started Dear Chelsea,

183
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.039
I wanted to give people access to me and build

184
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.120
a place where people could come for honest advice, real

185
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.039
conversation and a lot of laughter. And my dog is parking,

186
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.720
so quick pause here into an edit, and I think

187
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.720
they've reconnected the wires because I just heard the power

188
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.240
clickback on. So I'm going to go have to check

189
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.399
on these guys. Were we Chelsea Handler was saying, when

190
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.759
I started Dear Chelsea, I wanted to give people access

191
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.799
to me and build a place where people could come

192
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.519
for honest advice, real conversation and a lot of laughter.

193
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.679
Building that community into a network feels incredibly meaningful, especially

194
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.440
because I get to launch it with someone I know,

195
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.559
love and believe in as much as Yamanika. She's one

196
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.480
of the funniest people I know. I can't wait for

197
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:41.919
people to make her part of their lives the way

198
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.840
I have. Bad Idea Number three. Fred Armison and Kerry

199
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.200
Brownstein are headed back to Portland. Why a Podcast it's

200
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:53.000
Podlandia ao Rewatch, produced by Will Ferrell's company. That's out

201
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.360
on the sixteenth, which is Thursday. With new episodes weekly

202
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.360
Podlandia ao Rewatch, we'll see Armison and Brownstein revisiting their

203
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.399
cult classic TV series, which documented the hipster fat of

204
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.039
birds as the core unique bicycles and a tense mustache

205
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.080
care that define the capital of Oregon for an entire generation. Now,

206
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.879
the reason I don't love this idea is port LANDI

207
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.320
around for seventy seven episodes across eight seasons on IFC.

208
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.960
I know people like it, but like it's not exactly

209
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.960
like the Office. I just think the audience is too

210
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.799
small for this to work. Brownstein said, our hope with

211
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.879
the portlandier Rewatch podcast is to continue the conversations we

212
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.200
began when the show first aired, conversations around community, how

213
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.360
a place shapes and defines us, how much of life

214
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.559
is mere performance, and how absurdity is often the best

215
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.120
way to make sense of the world. Revisiting these episodes

216
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.000
also reminded me of the ways Fred is singularly hilarious,

217
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.200
We'd love getting to hang out and Reminisce saying that

218
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.480
praises the cast crew, in the city itself and have

219
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.440
new means of connecting with our audience. I barely made

220
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.279
it through that description, and there's a whole other paragraph.

221
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.840
Fred said, rewatching these Portlandy episodes was so enjoyable. I

222
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.279
really laughed, which is a strange thing to say about something.

223
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.519
I'm in. Carrie made me laugh a lot. Blah blah blah.

224
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.360
I'm so bored. Bobby Flay says one of the highlights

225
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.639
of returning to the American Century Golf Championship every year

226
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.120
is to catch up with Colin Jost, especially if they

227
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.879
end up paired together on the golf course. Prior to

228
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.200
the event, Flay said, I'm looking forward to seeing Colin

229
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:15.799
Jost at the very least. I know if I play

230
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.960
with Colin, it's gonna be funny on the golf course.

231
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.120
Lay says, the competition is anything but casual. People think

232
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.240
we're having fun. We are, but we're also trying to

233
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.960
make par It's very, very competitive. It's the most nerve

234
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:27.720
wracking thing we do all year. You can ask any

235
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.960
of these guys out here. We're grinding for pars. Listen,

236
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.840
I'm a chef, I cook for a living. I'm playing

237
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.360
against world class athletes all over the place. So it's

238
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.480
not easy. Hey, good news, we are back. The lights

239
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.279
are on here in the office. Now it's too bright

240
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.639
in here. Stop complaining, John, We got to talk about

241
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.639
Count Binface. The Telegraph asks, could Britain by hurtling towards

242
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.559
its first prime Binister. There's a comedian, John Harvey. He

243
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.360
goes by Count Binface. So this is a guy with

244
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.960
like a garbage can on his head. It looks like

245
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.840
a Monty Python sketch. Longtime prankster and elect role underdog.

246
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.159
Count Binface, formerly known as Lord Buckethead, stands for the

247
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:09.080
exasperated voter, says the Telegraph. Variety profiled this guy, They

248
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.320
tell us. The wannabe politician who last month stood in

249
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.639
a by election against Andy Burnham, widely considered the UK's

250
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.879
Prime Minister in waiting, is set to run against right

251
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.879
wing MP Nigel Farage in yet another upcoming by election.

252
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.559
Despite Farag's resignation coming only a few days ago, the

253
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.120
ballot has already descended into a circus as the politician

254
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.960
vowed to stand for re election, resulting in all the

255
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.879
other major political parties pulling their candidates over what they're

256
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:37.080
calling a political stunt. Enter Count Binface, the comedian dressed

257
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.559
as a trash can variety broke this down, Subpetter who

258
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.519
is Count Binface. Count Binface is a fifty nine hundred

259
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.600
year old intergalactic space warrior from the planet Sigmund nine,

260
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.279
whose motto is make Earth grade again, Love It. He

261
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.360
has stood in five elections since twenty nineteen, including the

262
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.039
London mayoral election, the twenty twenty four general election, and

263
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.440
the previously mentioned one against Andy Burnham. Some of his

264
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.720
policies include changing London Bridge's name to Phoebe Wallerbridge, building

265
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.720
at least one affordable house, and selecting himself as the

266
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.519
UK Eurovision candidate for twenty twenty seven. Now I mentioned

267
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.559
he used to be Lord Bucketed, but you see, Lord

268
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.240
Buckethead had first appeared in a nineteen eighty four Star

269
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.399
Wars parody called Hyperspace, so people started arguing about the ip.

270
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:27.360
The conversations were initially friendly imagine arguing over Lord Buckethheed,

271
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:29.879
but the conversations broke down. He was forced to hand

272
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.320
over the password to the Lord Buckethead Twitter account, so

273
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.120
he evolved into Count Binface. Oh my so silly, and

274
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.879
I'm gonna go see what the power guys are up to.

275
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.399
That's your comedy news for today. I will see you tomorrow.
