JB finally gets the comeback fans have been waiting for, and one longtime radio staple proves he can still pull off a ridiculous superpower: identifying cars by horn alone. If you love Austin nostalgia, fast laughs, and the kind of live radio chaos that actually feels alive, this one's built for you.Sandy, JB, and Tricia kick things off with the day's Minute to Win It answers, then slide into the stuff that makes their show feel like a local hangout - eyebrow maintenance wars, a legendary family goatee, and Tricia's priceless reaction to a “cow bras” joke that lands just weird enough to work. From there, Care Don't Care delivers the kind of offbeat headlines that turn into full-blown bits, including Austin landing at the top of a list nobody expected and a carnival scam so brazen it earns a new nickname: the old razzle dazzle.You'll discover:Why Austin has the cheapest cheeseburger combo in the country, and why that still feels expensiveHow a rigged carnival game managed to soak one player for $650How Gen Z has repurposed “LARPing” into a perfect insult for fake behavior onlineWhy the return of Katz's Deli downtown hits so hard for Austin localsThen the show pivots into pure listener participation as JB takes on his long-dormant car-by-horn challenge, and somehow nails Lexus after Lexus before calling out a Mercedes like he never stopped. If you've ever wondered whether a bit from a morning show can still shock the room years later, this is the proof.It all lands with comedy legend Jim Gaffigan on hotel indoor pools, plus a feel-good shout-out to retired Navy instructors on the first day of school. Perfect for anyone who misses old Austin, loves live local radio, or just wants 30-plus minutes of smart, silly, unmistakably human entertainment.
A senior's first solo drive, a dog with the cone of shame, and a wildly unnecessary amount of confidence in one man's horn-honking skills - JB and Sandy turn a morning show into a hilarious, oddly heartfelt ride.If you need a laugh, a little parent anxiety, and a reminder that some milestones hit harder than others, this one delivers. Sandy, JB, and Tricia trade stories about Sandy and Tricia's daughter Landry's first drive to school, the emotional spiral of senior year, and the kind of dad behavior that kicks in when your daughter suddenly needs car washes, gas, and emotional support on demand.You'll also hear the trio go off on everything from a classic Napoleon Dynamite Letterman clip to Boerne Little League's path to the Little League World Series, including the age controversy that sent the whole thing to court. And if you're into pop-culture moments, there is a fun detour into surprise celebrity appearances, from Ella Langley in St. Thomas to artists like Train and Bon Jovi showing up unannounced to sing with fans.Then Sandy reveals the behind-the-scenes obsession that's got everyone teasing him: vibe coding and AI automation. He explains how he's using AI to build practical tools, like organizing photos and automating everyday tasks, while JB and Tricia roast him for sounding a little too much like a coder with no coding background at all. Perfect for listeners who love local radio chemistry, funny family stories, and a few genuinely useful takeaways buried inside the chaos. It is smart, silly, and full of the kind of banter that makes you feel like you're hanging out in the room.

"We ain't doin' none of this Tuesdays with Morrie shit," baseball great Dave Parker once told his collaborator Dave Jordan, as they worked together on the soon-to-be-Hall-of-Famer's memoir. "We goin' out poetic and wild." As Told To podcast guest Dave Jordan is a writer and filmmaker and founder of Instream Sports, a pioneering athlete-author writing platform. He is the co-author of the acclaimed memoir Cobra: A Life of Baseball and Brotherhood, with the late Dave Parker, who was inducted into Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame just weeks after his death in June 2025, following a decade-long struggle with Parkinson's Disease. Upon publication, Cobra was hailed by Tyler Kepner of The New York Times as "one of the most gripping and revealing baseball memoirs I've ever read." The book was nominated for a prestigious Casey Award, as one of the best books of the year, and stands as one of the wildest, most poetic memoirs on the baseball bookshelf. Prior to his work with Parker, Dave Jordan was a regular contributor to the Sporting News, SB Nation, and the Hardball Times, and the co-author of Fastball John, written with former San Francisco Giants pitcher John D'Acquisto. Dave Jordan's short film, "The Paper Mache Chase," starring Jim Gaffigan, Cynthia Nixon, and Spalding Gray, was featured at South by Southwest, the Brooklyn Film Festival, and several major film festivals. The film focuses on the crazy, stressful, and wildly competitive admissions process facing parents of New York City pre-schoolers. At the time of Parker's death, author and subject were completing work on a follow-up collaboration to Cobra—King's Island, a look back at the Hall of Famer's rookie season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the racial and political climate that surrounded the game in the summer of 1974.

This week the Bad Dads take a pounding with The Bleeder (2016), the Liev Schreiber-led biopic of Chuck Wepner — the Bayonne brawler whose improbable 15-round fight with Muhammad Ali inspired Sylvester Stallone to write Rocky. The film charts Wepner's rise from club fighter and liquor delivery man to brief, cocaine-fuelled celebrity — and his long, self-inflicted fall back down again.The Dads discuss:· Liev Schreiber's committed central performance and the stacked supporting cast (Naomi Watts, Elisabeth Moss, Ron Perlman, Jim Gaffigan)· The film's tonal debt to Boogie Nights — same era, same cocaine, same gravitational pull· Why The Bleeder is more entertaining than it is illuminating, and whether that's enough· Chuck Wepner's actual boxing record, the real Ali fight, and the legendary grizzly bear incident· The Stallone connection: Rocky, the botched Rocky II audition, and the money Wepner never saw Also this week:· Top Five Vigilantes — featuring Travis Bickle, Batman, V for Vendetta, The Boondock Saints, Law Abiding Citizen, Nobody, Death Wish (1974), Rolling Thunder, Kick-Ass, The Punisher, Harry Brown, and Miss Marple· Viewing chat: Beef (Season 2, Netflix) | The Boys (Season 5) | Apex (Netflix)· Walking football season update: Played 18, Won 14, Drew 2, Lost 1 — and a cup final incoming Films/shows mentioned: The Bleeder (2016), Rocky (1976), Boogie Nights (1997), Beef (Season 2), The Boys (Season 5), Apex (2025), Death Wish (1974), Rolling Thunder (1977), Law Abiding Citizen (2009), Nobody (2021), Kick-Ass (2010), Super (2010), The Punisher, Harry Brown (2009), V for Vendetta (2005), Inglourious Basterds (2009), Hard Candy (2005), Promising Young Woman (2020), Taxi Driver (1976), The Equalizer, Mad Max (1979), Taken (2008)You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

It's the William Montgomery Show with guest CJ Landry!
Johnny Mac covers comedy industry news, focusing first on Nikki Glaser hosting the Time 100 event and questioning whether she bombed, noting the crowd wasn't mic'd well and suggesting a “cool Hollywood” room may have been reluctant to laugh; he plays a trimmed clip of her monologue, including jokes about publicists, the list, Victoria Beckham, and Gayle King/Katy Perry. He also shares awkward clips from Glaser on Kelly Ripa where her short skirt is mentioned and they discuss her Time cover. Deadline's ongoing reporting on Netflix Is a Joke frames the festival as “haves and have-nots,” citing many big names (Shane Gillis, Louis C.K., John Mulaney, Katt Williams, Nate Bargatze, Seinfeld/Leanne Morgan, Jim Gaffigan) with unsold tickets while smaller buzzy comics sell out smaller venues. Mac reviews Kevin Hart's “Funny AF” competition format and discusses “Emperor of Rome syndrome,” then briefly praises Ramy Youssef's special and quotes Ramy and David Cross on crafting sets and not catering to algorithms. Gossip items include a Giants manager attending Dave Chappelle at The Punchline and Chappelle commissioning a beeswax sculpture, plus Patton Oswalt voicing Stephen King's upcoming Talisman-trilogy audiobook.00:23 Nikki Glaser Bombing01:05 Time 100 Monologue03:40 Kelly Ripa Awkwardness05:25 Netflix Is a Joke Sales06:56 Kevin Hart Competition08:47 Ramy Youssef Special10:00 David Cross Approach10:54 Gossip Corner Chappelle12:16 Chappelle Art Find12:40 Patton Oswalt Audiobook13:08 Wrap Up TomorrowBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening. $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

Johnny Mac delivers daily comedy news, focusing on reactions to Nikki Glaser's candid discussion of ethical non-monogamy and speculation that her team is steering her away from roasts (she's in LA during the Kevin Hart roast but booked for Netflix Is a Joke). He cites a Minneapolis Star Tribune review of John Mulaney's current tour highlighting risk-taking material and a mention of his $200 cash limit to avoid relapse. He recaps Jim Gaffigan's sandwich talk with Stephen Colbert, previews Greg Gutfeld's Fox Nation game show “What Did I Miss?” and notes late-night ratings where Gutfeld leads total viewers. He recounts seeing “Oslo” at Costco and a time-padding Q&A, flags a TMZ-reported Pete Davidson porn joke, covers UK concerns about relocating the Edinburgh TV Festival, highlights Melbourne Comedy Festival acts, and lists Austin's Moontower Comedy Festival picks. 00:20 Nikki Glaser Oversharing01:32 Roast Career Strategy02:50 John Mulaney Tour Review04:01 Gaffigan Sandwich Talk05:01 Gutfeld Game Show Return06:25 Late Night Ratings Rundown07:15 Show Time Padding08:27 Pete Davidson Weird Bit09:04 UK Comedy Industry News10:12 Melbourne Fest Clips12:35 Brett McKenzie Tour Notes Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening. $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

Back in my WXRT days, when rock radio still had a little room to get weird, there was one audio ,The Usual Suspects. Their sharp, character-driven sketches didn't just make me laugh, they lit the fuse for everything I later tried on The Score and even here on Word Balloon. Today, I'm talking with two of the masterminds behind that magic, Barb Wallace and Tom Wolfe, a brilliant writing team whose partnership went from Chicago airwaves to Hollywood success, with credits on shows like Murphy Brown and Welcome to New York, starring Christine Baranski and a young Jim Gaffigan. For me, these two weren't just funny—they were the blueprint.
William and Grant cover everything from paranoia and viral clips to dog injuries, statins, allergies, and trying to stay healthy. They're also joined by live callers from across the country—Colorado, Phoenix, Nashville—and even Japan. It's the William Montgomery Show!
