The Shark Deck got some fights for you today. Hi, I’m Chenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. David Cross has slammed some fellow comedians who worried about being canceled, saying that they bitch and moan. Cross specifically mentioned comedians who make jokes about trans people. Wonder who that could be?
Could it be Dave Chappelle? Cross said, and now you’re protecting yourself as the BS voice of They’re not going to cancel me. You can’t silence me for what you’re dumb joke about trans people. Who gives a hoot? I mean, is it that important to you?
Just move on? Not you know, hundreds of thousands of people. David Cross was on MSNBC when this happened. The host asked him if anyone has ever come up to David after show complaining about his jokes. He said, yeah, absolutely.
It was something where it was like talking about the phrase the N word or something. This woman was black. She explained why that upset her and explained why I thought it was kind of defending it in the idea behind it. The two of them came to an agreement after a long conversation, but Cross said he has no problem dropping those kinds of joke to PE’s sensitive crowds. He says, it doesn’t hurt me, doesn’t affect me in any way to not do the line.
Meanwhile, Ralph Barbosa was on Andrew Schultz podcast. If you’re not familiar with the story, so last week, George Lopez was on his podcast talking to Steve Trevino. Trevino mentioned Ralph Barbosa as an important up and comer. Lopez says, nobody knows who that mother effer is. Why you’re saying his name.
They little fight about it. Lopez says, I don’t think you should be worried about anyone else, especially Jeremy Barba saw Wow. I don’t know who he is. I don’t mean no disrespect, but I don’t know who he is. Lopez caught some heat on the interwebs apologize to Barbosa Barbosa, but on Instagram it saw a good baby.
The future is now old man. Barbosa sold Schultz. I wasn’t mad when he said it. I have a whole lot of respect for him. Still, when he said it, I wasn’t like what the ff or heard about it.
It’s an effing podcast. You’re talking crap? So what. Barbosa opened up about the phone apology he got from George Lopez and said he’s nice. The dude called me.
He was super cool. I wasn’t expecting it. Barbosa said. The call one something like this, Hey, Ralph, this is George George Lopez. I want to call and apologize.
Barbosa said, My first words were what the F?
And then I was like, my bad.
I didn’t mean to be rude, just caught me off guard. Lopez told him it was in the heat of the moment shooting the crap with Trevino kind of fired up about it, but I didn’t mean to talk badly about you. I apologize. Barbosa prefers that it was a private apology. If not, it said, it would have looked like Lopez was doing it for public opinion points.
Lopez told him comic comic man to man, I just want to apologize, and Lopez said that Barbosa could call him if he ever needed help with anything. Barbosa said he’ll only take George up on that when he really needs it, though, he added, when they compare him to other Latino comedians, he thinks it’s funny. That they’re assuming. I looked up to George Lopez. Bert Kreischer was on Monday’s Pardon My Take.
He’s in the second hour. It’s a very good listen. I recommend you check it out. They talks at length about the origin of the machine joke. Bert said, I was not the comic I am today.
I was a little more hacky. It was a little more derivative of Dean Cook. I think we all were. For the record, we were ripoffs of David Tell and Dane Cook, Mitch Hedberg, those were the goats. And I started to podcasting, and I did a podcast with Rogan.
I had like bits prepared. He’s not a bit guy, you know, Joe Rogan gives you a look when you do a bit in front of him, like a girl gives you when you I don’t even know how to clean this up, do something that could make her pregnant. That anyway, Bert says, you know. They wrap up the show and says to Joe, when I come back next time, I’ll tell you the story about when I got involved with the Russian mafia. Rogan was like what Rogan calls him like three weeks later and it’s like, I need you back.
Everybody’s hit me up about the story. Bert goes on, Rogan tells the story. Rogan says, you need to tell us on stage. Bert says, I was like, oh no, no, no, I don’t do that. This isn’t for the stage.
It’s just like hanging out. Rogan said, are you out of your effing mind? When Bert here? Joe Rogan, This man changed my life. Joe Rogan said on that podcast, ladies and gentlemen, if you go to a show, yell out the Machine until he tells it.
Do not let him do anything else. From this point forward, he is only to be known as the Machine. Bert does his show in Columbus, Ohio. Rogan says, everyone make him tell the Machine. This is in the early early times of Rogan.
Like in the beginning of the cult, they showed up in droves and the whole show chanted the Machine, and this guy in the front row comedy fan goes, hey, man, it’s okay. We know it’s not gonna be funny, but we’ll fake laugh. I was like what, and he goes, you gotta tell it, man, you gotta tell it to make it good. And so I was like, all right, I’ll tell it. I told that for like four years.
Then the day I posted it on Facebook was like the lowest day of my life, Like lowest month. I even had Tom Seguram my best friend. He’s fat shaming me and it’s going viral. It’s like the funniest thing that’s happening on Twitter is everyone fat shaming me. We’re gonna weight loss challenge that I know I’m gonna lose on Rogan I couldn’t stop eating and Tom was losing a ton of weight.
I know I’m gonna have my beard shaved. My wife’s rey doing a house I got fired from the Travel Channel. My house is in destructions. She wants me to get a sect to me and I remember getting in a fight with her. Were getting a huge fight, and I get pulled off tour for a Funnier Die I was supposed to host it.
Tom called me. Tom says that really sucks. It’s a lot of money to lose, and I go, it’s only two grand a week, and he goes, they’re paying you two grand. I go yeah, and he goes oh, And I go, oh, how much are you getting? Pivotal moment in our friendship.
He goes, I don’t want to tell you because I think we can’t be friends anymore. I go, what, and he goes, I mean, I’ll tell you, but you gotta promise this won’t have our friendship up. I put my phone on the table and I go, all right, tell me your number, and he goes, I’m getting twenty grand. And I went a weekend. He goes a show, and I realized where I stood in the pecking order of stand up comedy.
I was supposed to do Oxnard that New Year’s Eve. I sold no tickets. They were paying me twenty five grand for the weekend. I sold no tickets, and they said, we’re gonna have to reassess your guarantee for the year at a ten thousand dollars guarantee with a thousand dollars bonuses. The story goes viral and overnight it changes my life.
Changes my life into the next weekend, January tenth, I got to do a show and it was sold out. I remember saying, why are you guys here? Is there a convention or something? And the guy goes the machine and I was like, oh, I’ve retired that story. He goes, the f you have.
The only reason I’m here is for you to tell the FFing machine story, tell it twice. I was thinking about the Daily Show, like last week Sarah Silverman hosted, it happened? Did it matter? Is the Daily Show relevant on all right now? Are you paying any attention to the guest House And here’s my point here, because I was as I was thinking about the Daily Show, it feels like Sarah Silverman is guest hosting for John Stewart.
Like it doesn’t feel like it was ever Trevor Noah’s show, like that came and went. It feels like everybody is subbing for John Stewart. And that’s kind of the way I feel like when I see Falon, I’m waiting for Johnny Carson to get back from vacation. Johnny hasn’t been on in over thirty years, and jay Leno happened, and Conan happened, and jay Leno happened again, and it still feels like Johnny’s show, And I feel like John Stewart still has this big shadow over the Daily Show. And I don’t know this guest host thing.
I don’t get it. Pick somebody already. If you enjoyed what I do here, go to buy meat Coffee dot Com. Slash Daily Comedy News. There as somebody in the tip jar much appreciated.

Everybody will do ten minute sets and there were three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Might have to do that one. That’s a good value. Jared Freed at nine thirty and Matt Rife again at nine thirty. All right, what should we do tonight?
What do you think? MSG comedy? We’ll get some food at eight o’clock and then we’ll bounce on over to new wave of stand up TV taping at night thirty. That sounds like a plan, doesn’t it. Well, that’s on on over to you gossip corner.
Did Emily ran a couscap break up with Eric Andre? Remember last week Eric Andre was taking naked pictures in front of Emily. Well, fans are questioning whether or not they’ve broken up after Emily posted a TikTok video. It’s selfie, she’s lying down on her bed and the tech says, what should you do when a situation? Ship ends?
Jason Zineman writes about comedy for The New York Times, and he echoed something that I have said. I said on Monday’s podcast that we have stopped using the words special for everything, and we should use the word hour more often. Jason wrote, when it comes to stand up specials, it’s the best of time, worst of time situation. There have never been more being made, released and available to a global audience than right now. According to Sean mccartey’s newsletter Piphany, there have already been fifty five released this year, more than one a day.
Yikes. Jason writes, while most Hours are terrible, wrote or entirely mediocre, there are gems that would have remained entirely obscure. He used as an example, Nathan Mackintosh’s special describes it as an inauspicuous looking blond guy dressed in khacupants, a white tshirt and buttoned down. His new Hours did not get picked up by any major platform, but you can watch it free on YouTube and if you’re like Jason, convulse with laughter. I watched it and it was fine, and I just didn’t care, and I bailed after about ten minutes.
I’m not saying it’s horrible. It’s not going to make mine of the years. I didn’t think it was anything quote unquote special, but it was fine. Nathan is very high energy. I was actually wondering if the video’s sped up, and I still i’m wondering if it’s sped up.
So you can check out Nathan Macintosh that’s on YouTube. Marlon Wayans has a special coming out March second on HBO Max. It’s called Marlon Wayans God Loves Me. Here’s the logline. Though on March twenty seven, twenty twenty two, Chris Rock cracked a joke on Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith got up and slapped the crap out of one of the greatest comedians of all time.
That had nothing to do with Will, nothing to do with Jada, nothing to do with Chris. It was my faults. Wayans delivers a hilarious hour long performance, unleashing his spun on impressions and fearless physical comedy to address one of the most infamous recent events and pop culture at the slap Blah Blah Blah. Wayne’s skillfully weaves anecdotes from his own life with stories about his long time friends, from divulging his teenage crush on Jada Pinkett Smith, getting humbled by Chris Rock in an early stand up set, and examining the impact of Will Smith’s long career. Marlon Wayans God Loves Me, hbo Mac March second.
