Caloroga Shark Media. Mo Ketchups Baby. I am Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News at Tel was amazing. We have a new top special at the year. I’ll talk about Davi in a second, but first, two fun late night jokes from Jordan Klepper sitting behind the desk at the Daily Show.
The topic, did just see Trump is selling Bibles? Yeah, look at the clip on social media. It’s interesting, Klepper said. I know people will say you’re not supposed to mix the Bible in the Constitution, but we have to understand is Trump hasn’t read either one of them. Klepper again, if we step back and look at this, Trump is getting into business with God and that can only mean one thing.
God is gonna end up bankrupt and serving a three month prison sentence for lying under oath. David Tel Hot Cross Buns on Netflix is the number one special of the year, folks. That’s how you do it. It’s like thirty nine minutes joke after joke. The jokes are set up with mister Rex.
There’s no big grand standing, there’s nothing I cancel culture. There is a joke to which the word trans is a punchline. It is a harmless joke. It is funny. That’s how you do it.
Everybody. Now I’m sad here my romance with Triumph the insult comic dog. You know, he’s gonna be so sad what he sees today’s podcast and he finds out Triumph’s not number one anymore. Triumphs number two. Really strong.
But oh my goodness, Attel showed everybody how it’s done. So I’m glad now that I’m loving everything, because at the beginning of the year, I was worried that you guys are gonna be like, does this guy even like comedy? He hates everything? Because we had like seven specials in a row that didn’t impress me. Now this is two back to back that I put at the top of the list.
I mean, great time a tell again the length and I keep harping about the length Crush and Go Home. I had mentioned on the other day Brian Simpson special really strong, but like fifteen minutes too long? Here Dave Crush get out. At one point I had taken a sip of water and I almost for real spit taked. I laughed so hard.
Luckily I didn’t spit all over the TV and the dog sitting there. That would have been horrible, really really funny special. It’s just pure comedy. This is a master at the top of his game. Watch Dave Attel Hot Crossbuns on Netflix.
Current rankings and I know we just did these one David tel two, Triumph three, David Cross four, Dusty Sleigh five, Brian Simpson six, Taylor Tomlinson. A big gap between four and five there and one and two are out pacing three and four. I have not yet watched Tig Nataro, and I probably won’t get a chance to. It’s gonna be a few days. I got some stuff to do now.
For all the twenty minute podcast episodes I’ve done the last week, today is a little less sexy. There’s no big news. Chappelle didn’t throw a pie at somebody, Pete Davidson didn’t do something crazy. Kat Williams didn’t throw anyone under the bus. So today is a very workman like episode of Daily Comedy News.
The Podcast Academy had their rewards. I’m in podcasting. I don’t know if anybody actually cares about these things other than the people that go these conventions. I’ve been in radio wadio for thirty something years these conventions, it’s just like, what are we doing. It’s either like this is weird for me to say because I’ve been doing this thirty years.
It’s either guys who’ve been doing it for forty five years who have lost a mile off their fastball maybe aren’t in touch with stuff, or newbies. It’s kind of like the people that are hooking up with hot chicks don’t talk about it. It’s like that, but radio anyway. The Podcast Academy had awards Johnnie Back, You’re a hater, not a hater. I just don’t care.
Best Comedy Podcast went to how did This get made? Congratulations to Paul Sheer and ging. Jimmy Kimmel has a new unscripted series greenlit by Hulu. This is set in a Los Angeles marijuana dispensary. High hopes good title.
I guess, little Hackey, Which is it? John? Is it good or hacky? Can it be both? Maybe it can’t be both.
If I have to pick, it’s hackey. Actually sidebar here. When I used to travel with Mark says High, who was one of the hosted series Exam Get the Giggles, we would start making up NBC shows, and we’d start with a title like High Hopes and develop it so the joke would be because an NBC show will always take the title and name the character something, so High Hopes would be like the story of James Hopes who works at a high school. Like that’s what NBC would do. My favorite one was called Side Out, which was going to be about a volleyball player who comes out of the closet see that there’s a volleyball pun there anyway.
High Hopes by Jimmy Kimmel follows Belarus born brothers Slava and Mishka and their Stone Crew through the trials and tribulations of taking their cannabis business to new heights in Hollywood. They attract a wild mix of weed loving customers and as a home away from home for their og employees who work hard and smoke harder. This season builds to their biggest day of the year, four twenty, as Gang attempts to expand nationwide and release their own top shelf cannabis brand. Will they find what they’re looking for or their hopescope and smoke? You could tell that I can’t wait for this one.
This sounds great. Dan Saint Germain spoke to the eight hundred Pound Gorilla. He says his new hour is a hodgepodge of some of the best stuff I’ve done the last couple of years. When I started stand up again, I kind of quit for two years, and I started again two years ago, and then I had some bits that were on the last album for eight hundred Pound Gerrilla, and I kind of got to the two year mark, was like, you know, I have all these bits that I have been put in a proper special, so I figured this is the time to do it. But I’m already working on my next hour, and I feel like in a year or two I’m gonna have another hour of films.
I just kind of want to put this stuff together and get it out there. I kind of subscribe to the Joan Rivers thing where if it doesn’t work three times, throw it out and maybe come back to it in a year or two. But a lot of times with a bid, eighty five percent of it a work, and I’m waiting for that last fifteen percent to figure it out. It’s almost like seeing a jinga stack and you go, oh, this is kind of wobbling on the side, so let me try and see if I could pull something out, to push something in that’ll help support a little better and then it all falls. Dan Saint Germain’s special is called The Dance Fatty Dance.
You’ll find it on YouTube home At Julie spoke to the Telegraph. He says Netflix turned down his recent special, Good Times. He says it was too hot for Netflix. There are always issues with certain things, and some of the issues are unfair, like what agism. He says.
Netflix considers him not to be a relevant comedian right now. He asked them what constitutes relevant to the moment, and Jelily says he was told anything black and transgender, send your letters to Oma. Jelily, I’m not sure that’s fair. For example, David tel not black, not transgender, watched it last night, Julily says. At a time when events in the Middle East dominate the news, he finds Netflix not finding him relevant to be astounding.
He says, Netflix says, we’re trying to get everyone, and yet I don’t see hardly anybody who’s Middle Eastern Iranian. They don’t give us a voice. I’m very strong about this because I don’t think they’ve got it right. I think the mainstream does want to know. They do want to hear it.
Julie is working on a new tour called Not a Stay, in which Israel Gaza will be one of the main topics. Is he worried about getting caught between both sides? He says, yes, it’s tricky, but I’m of an age where I’ve ceased to care. The threat of being canceled doesn’t phase him. He says, I was actually canceled after nine to eleven, just for existing case you’re curious.
In the context of the nine to eleven comment, he is of a running descent and he is not Muslim. He says. He had won the two thousand and one Time Out Comedy Award. He was booked to play a gig on September thirteenth. I rang my manager and said the gig, I presume not going ahead.
Manager said, oh, they are, but they don’t want you. My kids say, when did you become an authority on this? Who the hell do you think you are? Jim Brewer was on OutKick the show. Here’s a clip.
I had a radio show for a while, and one of the greatest moments on my radio show was there was a call with Joe would come on and he he someone tried to say some Nonstan nonsense that Joe called him out. It was epic.
And then the other time is he called in and it was one of the greatest moment…
It was like from another it was like he was being channeled and he was talking about the times that we’re going into and it’s either we’re gonna spew the truth, truth of vera, everything’s truth, and if you don’t come with the truth, he’s gonna be exposed because no longer we living in the world where we’re gonna accept the liars. They’re like leeches. It was pretty profound, it was pretty powerful, and something that never forgotten really inspired me. So Joe Rogan’s been a badass for a long time. Bruce said, if you look at a guy like Shane Gillis, if he was saying what he said just two years ago, it’d be like, oh my god, how dare you?
How dare you say some of these things? And that was a guy that was canceled from SNL and now he’s hosting the damn thing. You know, maybe we should lighten up a little bit either way. If anything, I think the woke, ah, we’re not allowed to talk about that. In the moments Dying tremendously show me the comedian that it talks about being woke for an hour.
That’s selling out theater as an arenas it doesn’t exist. So yeah, we’re learning to laugh again. It’d common sense. Now pay attention to what Jolly just said. Here’s what Brewer said.
I was talking to Netflix and one of the guys in development was like, Jim, I’m a huge fan of you. They’re not in the business of white guys that are over the age of forty, and they’re not gonna be And that’s when I was like, ah, so that’s what the world they are committed to. It doesn’t matter if it’s funny. You got to be this color or that color, or that sexuality or that country under this thing in order for us to put our spotlight on. And that’s not comedy.
That’s you trying a piece of society that you’re trying to create. Again. I watched David Till last night. David Till is a fifty nine year old comedian from Queens, New York. I don’t know too much about his growing up or ancestry.
But looks like a white dude to me, so I don’t know. Brewers said, this was a slow process that started a long time ago. In the work world, those in charge would be like, well, if you’re this color and you get this kind of grade, sorry, we have to go with this type of person, even though the grades fifteen points lower. It was slowly put in a culture and before we knew it. Boom, it’s in entertainment.
Boom, it’s in government when your government’s trying to force you to a certain agenda. That’s called communism, socialism, dictatorship. Jim continued, how dare you say that? Well? Wrong?
The Facebook group has been super active lately. Hey, Dylan, I appreciate all the stuff you’re doing in the air. Feel encouraged to join us Daily Comedy News podcast group. It’ll give you a quick timeout for me to prove you. We just want to make sure you’re not a pornbot.
If you are a pornbot, I prefer Brunette’s, so that’ll probably get you proved a little quicker. Buy me a coffee. Dot com slash Daily Comedy News my Substackmicdeponda dot substack dot com link in the show notes. Sign up there for free Melbourne Comedy Festival. Let’s do some math.
I’m recording on the twenty seventh. You’re listening on the twenty eighth, So on Australia it’s the twenty ninth, which means it’s Friday night. Good night for comedy. Should be a ton of shows. Let’s look loading loading loading.
World’s slowest site is loading. This is not an edit. It’s still loading loading loading. Come on, I like this title Lord of the Zings a Keyweking comedy showcase. That’s great.
Winner Breakthrough Comedian twenty twenty one New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards. Last Load of the Rings movie came out in two thousand and three, and these News z Eland comedians are still riding that wave. They don’t have a single joke about hobbits, dragons, or really any opinions on the works of Peter Jackson. They’re just using this as a marketing ploy. Love it no clip, but I love it all right.
Randy Dava, Hello players, says there’s a clip here, you know, from yesterday’s podcast. Just because it says there’s a clip doesn’t mean there’s a clip. Let’s see, Well, there was a clip, but it had a ton of f BOMs in its ivory too. Armed with lyrical rhymes and nasty beats, Randy will have his chance to truly express himself using the one approach he knows best hip hop comedy. The age says elicits uproarious laughter.
Did chat jpt write that? Here’s another one with no clip, but it’s Ruby Tay’s dog Seaword. Such a title sea word, the hard sea word dog seaword. Yikes. Now this show contains drug references, strong course language, nudity and sudden loud noises nudity.
What is going on? I don’t think that shows for me. I may not like nudity, but not like missing nudity with my comedy. You know, Mo Gilligan is playing a Philly tonight, Tomorrow and Saturday. It’ll be at the punchline.
Moe says. When I grew up watching stand up, I was watching people like Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy. So there’s always part of me that wanted to perform state side. It’s the biggest market in the entertainment world, so you want to be a success there America is a different terrain. It’s a bigger place where you can have comedy shows from Monday to Sunday and you can have a busy room every night.
And fortunately, in the UK comedy is usually a weekend culture. There aren’t as many comedy clubs midweek if there was, when we have a network and perform with each other, we just don’t have the infrastructure of having many comedy clubs in the UK. It’s much more competitive out there in the States. If you go to the comedy Store in la there’s like nine comics on the main bill and even more before that, whereas in the UK there’s about three. I think my accent helps the most.
Once they get on stage, they say, this guy’s come all the way from London. He’s got a Netflix special. Welcome to the stage. Mo Gill again ears prickup and they want to listen to this guy who’s coming from London. That’s what I like about the States.
If they see I’ve come all the way from somewhere to the comedy store, they sit up a bit more and like, ah, I want to check this guy out. He’s not from here. He must be funny that he is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too.
Tell Triumph, tell a Tell, tell them you’re listening. I don’t know what I want from you. I’m just babbling. See tomorrow.
