Johnny Mac recaps daily comedy news after falling behind due to jury duty, focusing on the Emmys and Stephen Colbert's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He highlights a widely shared John Mulaney Emmys bit about male TV actors and reads a passage from Frank Vincent's A Guy's Guide to Being a Man's Man. Colbert wins an Emmy for The Late Show's final year and uses his speech to credit writers and encourage hiring his staff; he later visits Kimmel, jokes about CBS, gets his beard shaved on-air, and gives Kimmel a Captain America shield from The Late Show set to mount permanently. Mac runs through other Emmys notes, riffs that Bob's Burgers doesn't exist, mentions Marcelo Hernandez's Emmys moment, John Oliver joking about turning 50, the Pete Davidson/Colin Jost Snapple Island Ferry comedy event, Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill filming a Netflix spy movie possibly titled The Serpent and the Snake, upcoming podcast episodes, thoughts on Jo Koy's new special, and details about Tires and comedian Evan Dubois. 00:10 Mulaney Emmy Monologue03:34 Colbert Emmy Win Speech05:49 Colbert Visits Kimmel08:03 More Emmy Winners Recap08:31 Bob Burgers Hoax Bit09:37 Marcelo Hernandez Emmy Moment11:30 John Oliver Turns 5011:48 Snapple Ferry Comedy Club13:04 Kevin Hart Spy Movie14:03 Show Schedule Updates14:24 Jo Koy Special Review15:30 Tires and Steve Gerben17:19 Toronto Comic Evan Dubois18:06 Wrap Up and Sign OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Matt Belloni joins Peter to dig into Ari Emanuel's blistering new memoir—a score-settling account that revisits the chair he nearly hurled at Michael Ovitz and his decades-long grudge against Jeffrey Katzenberg. Then they turn to Monday's Emmy awards, unpacking Apple's sweep and the politics of Stephen Colbert's win over John Oliver.

Somehow the phrase “Big Beaver” isn't even the weirdest thing you're about to hear...Rizz recently made his first trip to Buc-ee's and came away impressed by the size, the amount of stuff and… well, that's about it. But the beaver empire definitely gets more enthusiastic when somebody messes with its logo.The crew discusses Buc-ee's legal battle with an apparel company accused of using its famous beaver on military-style merchandise, resulting in an $850,000 settlement according to the story discussed on the show. That leads straight into John Oliver trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise, Lern buying the socks, and a debate over the difference between legitimately protecting your trademark and unleashing corporate lawyers on every tiny beaver within driving distance.That would already be plenty for a normal comedy podcast. Unfortunately, nobody here has ever been interested in normal.Next comes the Rizz Quiz, where six callers are given extremely difficult questions such as “What ocean borders California?” and “What color is on the bottom of a traffic light?”The results are devastating.California gets relocated to the Atlantic Ocean.The Great Red Spot moves to Mars.One father celebrates his son's 11th birthday by revealing he thinks a millennium is 100 years.And during a playoff, Justin is asked what COUNTRY is directly north of Mexico.His answer?Alaska.Not the United States.Alaska.The crew is forced to explain that this is no longer merely a geography problem.Mark eventually survives the educational apocalypse and wins the contest, while an Empire State Building tiebreaker gives the people in the studio their own opportunity to demonstrate that estimating the size of famous buildings is apparently impossible.From there, we move into accommodations.Lern was supposed to stay at a Dolly Parton-themed hotel while traveling for the Foo Fighters, but shortly before the trip she learned the hotel still wasn't ready. The staff offered to help with alternate accommodations — because that's the Dolly way — and Lern eventually landed in an Airbnb.Which leads directly to one of the most romantic vacation ideas ever discussed on the show:Buffalo Bill's house from The Silence of the Lambs.Yes, you can stay there.The crew discusses the house in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, a town name that immediately gets roasted before anyone can even focus on the serial-killer-themed vacation rental.The house goes ALL IN.There's a recreated basement well for pictures, horror memorabilia, hundreds of horror movies, an arcade, a pool table and a motion-activated disco ball that plays “Goodbye Horses.”Apparently people have even proposed inside the well.Nothing says lifelong commitment like asking someone to marry you while recreating one of the most disturbing basements in movie history.And somehow several members of the show are completely willing to sleep there.Devon may already be in the well.Then the crew heads to karaoke, where the crew runs through songs you should probably never attempt unless humiliation is specifically why you left the house.“I Will Always Love You.”“Bohemian Rhapsody.”“Dream On.”“Take On Me.”“Chandelier.”“Somebody to Love.”“Chop Suey!”Lern and Rafe argue that bad karaoke is actually better because nobody wants to spend their night watching aspiring Broadway performers flawlessly execute songs like they're trying to get discovered between Jägerbombs.Rizz treats karaoke like The Voice.Moon has standards.And the show discovers Alan Ritchson can sing, because apparently being Jack Reacher wasn't enough and this man needed additional talents just to make the rest of us feel worse.Then Crap on Celebrities takes the wheel with Benny Blanco relationship talk, Ella Langley, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks, Black Sabbath, Metallica and the revelation that Oprah is heading to the Sphere.Initially, the room has questions.Many questions.Then Moon learns Jacob Collier is involved and suddenly transforms into Oprah's newest ticket salesman.The episode also detours through movie songs, Dirty Dancing, Titanic, Frozen, Fievel and the eternal question of whether certain movie themes are masterpieces or crimes against speakers.And then the crew walks into the room carrying a pharmacy.Rafe arrives surrounded by cold and allergy remedies because he feels something coming on and absolutely refuses to get sick. Rizz recommends chicken soup — “Jewish penicillin” — while the crew starts comparing all the exciting new ways their bodies hurt for absolutely no reason.That becomes a discussion of bizarre sleeping positions.Lern sleeps on her stomach with a hand underneath her pelvis.Moon sleeps like a vampire in a coffin.Rafe routinely wakes up with entire arms completely dead and rubs his feet together like Jiminy Cricket.Everyone is doing great.From there we get Mary Kay nostalgia, pink Cadillacs, old-school home sales parties and Rafe remembering an early comedy gig where part of the compensation came in a deeply unconventional swag bag. We'll leave it at that. YouTube a has rules.The comedy podcast then moves into fitness, where the crew discusses the famous 10,000-steps goal and a conversation about walking pace before discovering Hyrox — a standardized fitness competition involving running and workout stations. Sounds healthy. Sounds inspiring. Sounds like a great way to improve yourself.Then the show discusses a Hyrox race in Beijing where a 22-year-old Australian competitor reportedly suffered a severe bowel accident during the competition……and kept going.She won.The crew cannot believe what they're hearing.The controversy becomes less about competitive toughness and more about the fact that Hyrox involves shared workout stations, meaning everybody behind her suddenly had a problem they absolutely did not include in their training program.“A win is a win” becomes the philosophy of the day.Unfortunately, the bathroom content is not finished.The show also discusses an alleged neighbor dispute involving a bucket of human waste, proving once again that some people handle relationship drama with communication while others apparently choose biological warfare.Then air travel joins the nightmare.The crew discusses disruptive airplane passengers, Moon's frustration with constant in-flight entertainment interruptions and pilot announcements, and a flight attendant's warning that some passengers reportedly change baby diapers directly on airplane tray tables.Yes.The tray where your pretzels go.Congratulations. You will now wipe that thing down until the plastic changes color.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Can't Hit 10,000 Steps?

Nothing says happy birthday quite like Jeremy Piven telling Rizz he's really, really glad he was born.And nothing destroys that warm birthday feeling faster than immediately discussing aggressive beaver litigation.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.Rizz recently made his first pilgrimage to Buc-ee's in Springfield and came away with a glowing review: it was okay. It was fine. It was big.Take that, travel influencers.But while Rizz may not be ready to dedicate his life to the beaver, Buc-ee's is apparently extremely dedicated to protecting it. The crew discusses a legal battle involving apparel company Born United, which the show says used the Buc-ee's beaver logo on military-style merchandise and continued selling it after receiving cease-and-desist letters.The result discussed on the show: an $850,000 settlement involving trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising.That launches this comedy podcast into the larger debate over Buc-ee's aggressively defending its brand, especially when smaller businesses are involved.Lern brings up John Oliver's campaign trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise featuring Mr. Nutterbutter and the phrase “Buck Off.” Instead of simply poking the bear — or beaver — the merchandise is raising money for charity, while Buc-ee's apparently refuses to take the lawsuit bait.Lern and Tim even bought the socks.Naturally.The crew debates where legitimate trademark protection ends and corporate bullying begins. Lern compares it to protecting station branding when somebody blatantly rips off a logo versus going nuclear on some random tiny business that happens to use something vaguely similar.Basically: protect your beaver responsibly.Then it's time to give away concert tickets.And any remaining faith in the American education system.Welcome to the Rizz Quiz.Six callers get 45 seconds of rapid-fire trivia. No skips. One wrong answer ends the run. Highest score wins their choice of concert tickets.These are not impossible questions.That becomes important.Curtis starts the festivities by correctly identifying the colors of a yield sign before saying the main ingredient in butter is oil.Score: one.Rizz then accidentally hangs up on him.Honestly, mercy killing.Brian looks like an early trivia powerhouse when he correctly identifies Garfield as orange, Madrid as the capital of Spain and six as half a dozen.Then he says the planet with the Great Red Spot is Mars.Jupiter would like a word.Score: three.Justin steps up and starts absolutely cooking.A baby kangaroo? Joey.Sapphire? Blue.Girl with the red hood? Little Red Riding Hood.Quarters in two dollars? Eight.Crushed peanuts? Peanut butter.Which ocean borders California?Atlantic.NOOOOOOO.Justin still posts the best score so far with five, but geography has officially entered the building and chosen violence.Next comes Zach, who asks the show to wish his son Jameson a happy 11th birthday.Rizz explains they don't do shout-outs while immediately wishing Jameson a happy birthday and giving him applause.Perfect.Now Dad has to win for Jameson.Unfortunately, Dad does not know how many years are in a millennium.Happy birthday, buddy.Daddy got you 100 years instead of 1,000.Mark is next and nearly gets taken out immediately by Scar from The Lion King. After what feels like a complete psychological journey, he finally remembers the villain's name and battles his way to five correct answers, tying Justin.Then Aaron arrives with the opportunity to avoid a playoff entirely.His first question:What is the bottom color of a standard traffic light?Red.Game over.The answer is green.Aaron scores the day's first zero, and somewhere every DMV employee listening quietly locks the doors.Now we have a playoff.Justin returns first and answers six inches in half a foot.Correct.Bruce Wayne's superhero identity?Batman.Correct.What country is directly north of Mexico?Alaska.ALASKA.The comedy podcast has officially abandoned geography and entered experimental theater.The room absolutely collapses.Not only is Alaska not directly north of Mexico, it is — and we cannot stress this enough — not a country.Justin finishes with two.That leaves Mark needing three correct answers to win.Football safety? Two points.Shape with no corners or straight sides? Circle.Famous New York statue holding a torch?Statue of Liberty.We have a winner.Mark takes the Rizz Quiz crown and chooses Breaking Benjamin with Chevelle tickets, bringing one of the most educationally concerning contests in recent show history to a merciful conclusion.But Rizz has one final question.He reveals the closest-number tiebreaker they could have used: How many floors are in the Empire State Building?Now everybody in the studio gets involved.Devon guesses 54.Lern lands on 88 after changing her answer.Another guess rockets all the way to 224.Rafe goes with 150 — while admitting he almost said 400 before realizing that might make him “sound like a real dumb ass.”Good save.The actual answer according to the quiz?Lern's 88 is closest.Somehow, after an entire segment of listeners getting publicly destroyed by elementary-school trivia, Lern walks away the intellectual champion.So this episode has everything: Jeremy Piven birthday wishes, Buc-ee's trademark warfare, Big Beaver, John Oliver trolling, concert tickets, Garfield, Jupiter, a child learning his father doesn't know what a millennium is, California apparently relocating to the Atlantic Ocean, Alaska declaring independence from the United States and a group of grown adults trying to estimate the height of the Empire State Building.It's trivia.It's chaos.It's The Rizzuto Show.And please remember before getting behind the wheel today:Green is on the bottom.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hour 4 (9.14) Mark and Tim are having a week: Rams, Chargers, dying cats, broken ankles, SoCal sticker shock — and heat-fueled road rage so bad Bellio got flipped off on the 5 by some ding-dong glued to a phone. Then it’s Orange County’s e-bike buyback — gift cards from Target, Walmart and Dick’s, Angels tickets for the first 75, no questions asked — because parents are done spending Saturdays in the ER. Somehow Timmy jumps from a downtown high-speed chase to the Emmys red carpet to childhood memories of ice-cold suppositories, because of course he does. Heather Brooker is in studio after a full carpet day: Michael J. Fox got a lifetime honor, Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” beat Jimmy Kimmel and John Oliver for variety series, and Heather wore the dress her Instagram fans voted on. Atta girl. 9:05 — Between the Rams and Chargers, dying cats, broken ankles and the increasing cost of living in SoCal, Marky Mark and Timmy C have been doing it tough this week. Angelenos are angry this week, and it must be the heat. Plus, Bellio got the acrylic bird from some dumb B who was on her phone while driving on the 5. 9:20 — Cards from Target, Walmart, Dick’s. First 75 in line also got two Angels tickets! Working, broken, stolen-looking — they took ’em. We’re talking the Orange County e-bike buy-back! Parents are tired of spending their Saturdays in the emergency room. First guy in line was Jesse Hayes, 20, who spent three months on life support after an e-bike crash in Huntington Beach. 9:35 — How did we go from high-speed car chases in downtown LA, to the Emmys red carpet, to Tim’s remembrances of ice rockets up his tuchus courtesy of his mom’s love of suppositories? We don’t know but Conway sure found a way to segue from award winners to enemas. 9:50 — Heather Brooker is back in studio with Mark and Tim to break down the Emmys while the big drama and comedy races are still out. So far, the night’s already delivered: Michael J. Fox picked up a lifetime achievement honor, and Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” beat Jimmy Kimmel and John Oliver for variety series — a win that lands extra hard after CBS canceled the show. Heather, never one to phone it in, wore a dress her Instagram fans actually voted on.

Interview Date: February 15, 2026EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Menina Fortunato sits down with New York City-based dancer and content creator Melissa Becraft to unpack the persistence, creativity, and unexpected opportunities behind her career. Melissa shares how she started dancing at 12, moved from South Carolina to New York City at 18, and spent four years auditioning while booking only one professional dance job before finally landing a spot with the NBA Brooklynettes. That opportunity became a major turning point, leading to six seasons with the team, including four as captain.When the pandemic paused live performances, Melissa turned to social media as a creative outlet. What began as a TikTok account with zero followers quickly exploded, reaching 950,000 followers in eight months. She shares how recreating movie scenes, music videos, characters, and decades helped her build a recognizable creative identity and eventually turn dance content into a viable business through brand partnerships. She also gets candid about influencer rates, from early $500 videos to a $35,000 short-form campaign, while comparing the earning potential of content creation to traditional professional dance jobs.Throughout the episode and mentee Q&A, Melissa offers practical advice on confidence, versatility, performance quality, audition preparation, social media safety, time management, and overcoming comparison. Her story is a reminder that success rarely happens overnight—and that dancers do not have to be the “best” person in the room to build a thriving career.SHOW NOTES02:47 – Melissa's dance journey from South Carolina03:28 – Moving to New York at eighteen04:40 – Four years of auditions and rejection06:20 – Auditioning for the NBA Brooklynettes07:05 – Six seasons and becoming team captain09:08 – Pandemic sparks Melissa's social media journey10:48 – Reaching 950,000 followers in eight months13:31 – Turning social media into paid partnerships15:45 – Breaking down influencer income potential18:10 – Performing with BLACKPINK at the VMAs21:07 – Q&A: Building confidence and overcoming comparison24:32 – Q&A: Why tricks don't define dancers29:22 – Q&A: Creating safe, professional dance content33:26 – Q&A: Performance quality that books jobs39:08 – Turning your dancing into a businessABOUT MELISSAMelissa Becraft is a dancer and content creator based in New York City.

What if you feel like you don't know enough about the Bible to really make a difference? In this episode, the guys welcome back Dr. John Trent to talk about the incredible impact one person can have on the lives of others—even when they may feel like they don't have much to offer. John shares the powerful story of one man who made a difference in his life and the lives of his friends. It's a reminder that God doesn't need us to know everything. He simply asks us to trust Him with what we do know and be willing to use it. You may never know how much your small acts of faith, encouragement, or obedience can impact someone else. Don't underestimate the little things. God can use them for something much bigger than you realize.

Tucker Carlson has some wild takes on nuclear weapons and transgenderism. Let's see if he's right. Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the murder of her three children, a crime that she doesn't deny.

John Oliver has a problem with children in the womb being considered, well, people. Guess he's looking to move to Massachusetts.

Writer Naomi Kanakia has spent her adult life reading the so-called “great books,” those classic works of literature which are–depending who you ask–either deeply unfashionable, or a time-honored testament to human accomplishment. With What's So Great About the Great Books: Why You Should Read Classic Literature (Even Though It May Destroy You) (Princeton UP, 2026) Kanakia, a devoted lay reader, unpacks popular anxieties surrounding classic writers like Milton, Tolstoy, and Proust. Using the unpretentious approach she has cultivated on her popular Substack, Woman of Letters, Kanakia addresses common reservations about the great books, questions about why we should bother with literature with dated politics, or books exceedingly difficult to read. For plenty of readers, particularly those who came of age in the last decade, the answers may not be clear. Kanakia offers an intriguing reminder to challenge ourselves, to look beyond the walls of the ideology we have constructed for ourselves. (Just don't ask her about “Leviathan” by Thomas Hobbes.) “What's So Great about the Great Books” is out now with Princeton University Press. Megan Peck Shub (AKA Galley Hag) is a writer, journalist, and a producer who has won Emmy and Peabody awards for her work on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO. She previously worked on Finding Your Roots with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the PBS history docuseries. Megan's eclectic slate runs the gamut from literature to pop culture to politics, with a particular focus where those topics intersect. Learn more about your ad choices.
