Welcome to the Haibo John podcast! Today, we’re talking about something that every comedian loves to hear – applause! We’ll be discussing why we need it, and how we’re getting by without it during these strange times. Plus, we’ll touch on some current events that are sure to make you laugh.
Magician / Circus Feeling – Another Lion Escaped:
First up, let’s talk about the intro audio track – “Magician / Circus Feeling – Another Lion Escaped.” That track really sets the tone for our discussion today. As comedians, we’re like magicians in a way – we’re always trying to make the audience laugh, and we rely on their reactions to know whether or not we’re doing a good job.
Eff National Shutdown Boring:
Speaking of reactions, let’s talk about the Eff National Shutdown. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’ve been finding all this talk about politics to be incredibly boring lately. It’s hard to get a good reaction out of an audience when everyone’s just sitting there, staring blankly ahead. We need some energy!
Vladimir Putin:
Luckily, there’s always something else going on in the world to make us laugh. Take Vladimir Putin, for example. That guy is a walking punchline! Between his shirtless horseback riding and his love of martial arts, he’s practically a caricature of himself. And don’t even get me started on his speeches…
Load shedding is down – Eskom Se Push App Built-in Audio:
Of course, not all the news is good news. The Eskom Se Push App Built-in Audio may be helpful during load shedding, but it’s not doing anything for our comedy routines. When the power goes out, the laughter stops. We need those lights and microphones to make our jokes land!
No One can drive – Taxi Hooter:
And then there’s the perennial favorite of South African comedy – the taxi hooter. Seriously, is there any sound more iconic than that? It’s like a symphony of annoyance! But it’s also a reminder that even when we’re stuck in traffic, we can still find something to laugh about.
Easter School Holidays:
Finally, let’s talk about the Easter School Holidays. As a comedian, it’s a great time to get out there and perform for the kids. They’re an easy audience – they’ll laugh at just about anything! Plus, with all the chocolate they’re eating, they’re already in a good mood.
Bafana:
And last but not least, we have to mention Bafana. Whether they’re winning or losing, they’re always good for a laugh. We just hope they can keep up the good work and give us something to smile about.
Conclusion:
Well, that’s all for today’s episode of the Haibo John podcast. We hope you’ve enjoyed our discussion of the many things that make us laugh, from applause to load shedding to taxi hooters. Keep smiling, keep laughing, and we’ll see you next time!
