Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I’m Chunny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’ll handle a milleni in SNL tomorrow. Joe Rogan on his podcast said that he had advised Tony Hinchcliff against that joke, you know the one. Rogan said, I tell all comedians, don’t ever do comedy at something that’s not a comedy event.
Don’t do it. Don’t ever do comedy at a place that’s doing Also, is he gonna have a bunch of speakers and you’re gonna do ten minutes. Don’t ever do that. It’s a terrible setup. Rogan said.
The joke kills in comedy clubs. I don’t like the joke, but it kills. And I said to him, it’s just like if you’re Puerto Rican and you hear that in the audience, you’re like, ah, but it’s a funny joke. The joke does well. But I said to him, I go, dude, that’s the one that’s gonna get you stabbed.
Meanwhile, an online shop that sells Porto Rican theme merchandise is offered to send a box of trash on behalf of any customer to the Trump campaign. Worrica Shop sells t shirts, swimsuit stickers, pillows, phone case and home goods, including boxes of trash. The boxes say from Porto Rico with love on it, and carry a card with custom messages and come overflowing with random assorted trash. The boxes cost two dollars and are sent to Tony Hinchcliffe and his party. The website claims that we have their address and we will set it on your behalf via mail.
They assure you that the names and buyers will not be included in the delivery. Right when commentator Charlie Kirk is being mocked, Kirk posted a video containing a man that he believed was the garbage truck driver from trump stunt the other night. Kirk rowe, this is fantastic. This is the man who drove garbage force one watches. He gets emotional describing the moment with Trump and how he feels about Joe Biden calling conservatives garbage.
Here’s the thing, It wasn’t the driver. It was comedian Brent Terhewn in the online sketch Turn You and, as the driver claims, Trump urged him to take the truck through a McDonald’s drive through before the pair discussed Biden’s recent remarks run as the driver says, so, Joe, consider us a message to you. You called us garbage, but to prove we aren’t, We’ve got a truck that hauls garbage. Now does it sound like something garbage would do? Drive around at a truck that hauls garbage.
I don’t think so. Terryud goes on to fake cry while telling Joe Biden that he plans to show up to the polls wearing a garbage bag. Charlie Kirk deleted the post within minutes, but it did still go viral. Michael ian Black has a sub stack that I enjoy. Following Lock did some soul searching and wrote, I don’t like that I’ve become something of a comedy scold.
But you know what, comedy needs comedians to call out crappy comedy every now and then. I don’t mean a joke that doesn’t land. I would conservatively estimate eighty three percent off my jokes fail. What I mean is that high profile comedians tend to be insulated from criticism from their fellow comics for the same reason that all industry leaders tend to get a pass from others in their industry. Joe Rogan is an industry leader.
Tony Hinchcliff is an industry leader. I’ve called out both of them with two links. Scold is not the kind of role I feel at ease with because I’ve said and done plenty of my own dumb and offense of stuff over the years, including wearing blackface for an episode of Stella. I’ve committed every comedic crime there is to commit, with the exception of asking my fans, if I can paraphrasing here, Louis C.K. You know what I mean.
I’m neither perfect nor as funny as most of the guys I call out, So why do I do it? Because few other comics are. The fact is I have a small platform and a conscience. I don’t ask that they be canceled. I don’t say they’re not funny.
I don’t insult their careers. In fact, I go out of my way to acknowledge that they do things well. Joe’s podcast, for example, is one of the most important modern media enterprises. That’s true. It’s also true that he made some jokes in his last special that I had issues with, and I wrote a piece about it.
Big deal. Rogan doesn’t care what I think Rogan doesn’t even know I exist with Hingecliff. The situation is obviously much different. Hingecliff not only understood the assignment, he probably thought he was going to get a perfect attendance record to go along with his standing. Oh, you need to understand that the comedian’s bread and butter is laughter.
We say things that we expect will be well received. Why would Tony make those jokes with any other exs and why would he have that expectation. I do know how jokes work, and I know that feeding your audience this high fat junk food is bad for them and bad for you. You’re free to be a crappy comic, but why be a crappy comic in such an obviously destructive way. I picked and chose these segments that I read there.
It’s a much longer piece, but it’s on Michael ian Black’s substack if you want to check that out. Good piece by him. Judd Appatow has a fundraiser today, a comedy show benefiting the American Red Cross and victims of Hurricane Helene. It’s in Atlanta to the Variety Playhouse. Jeff Foxworthy and Ricky Vilez joined jud as special guests.
A second benefit show will be held on November ninth at the Beacon Theater in New York City. Stavros Halki has told Icon versus Icon nobody deserves or should have a comedy career. That’s the thing. It’s the ultimate luxury. The biggest obstacle is that statistically everyone who tries this fails.
You have to be a specific type of mental illness to be like, this is worth it. Wasting my youth in crappy bars telling bad penis jokes. It’s totally worth it because maybe fifteen years from now I’ll be able to tell better versions of those penis jokes in theaters that it doesn’t happen. Right, So I just got lucky the biggest obstacles with just material realities and being able to override the human desire for survival. I was ignoring every sign that I should go get a real job, of a real family, at a regular life.
Luckily it worked out, because if I woke up, if I was this age and I had nothing to show for it, boy oh boy, that would be a much crappier reality. Luckily, we got a couple stand up specials and movie and some TV stuff, So I’m pump Man. One way to support this shows you can go to buy me at coffee dot com Slash Daily Comedy News. You can throw five bucks in a tip jar. I will take your money.
And I don’t know if you can even hear this because the isis melted. But the idea is, I take your money and I get a large iced coffee with caramel and milk. Now, I was laughing on Friday. So Friday was November first, Right, I’m at the donuts chain at six thirty in the morning. The donut chain on like July thirty first, was like, hey, man, Halloween’s coming.
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. You like pumpkin, right, pumpkin pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. And over the last week or so, I’ve been into the pumpkin dot It was taste and I didn’t feel like crap. After eight it’s I’ve been getting the pumpkin donut octoberranded November first. They were like, pumpkin never heard of it?
What are you talking about? Pumpkin donut? Why would we have that? You want a pumpkin coffee? What are you crazy?
We have peppermint. Now, it’s all peppermint, peppermint, peppermint, and sugar cookie. I was tempted to get the sugar cookie flavoring in my coffee, but I’ve learned over the years don’t messing around. The caramel’s tasty, and if you’re a man of a certain age, it doesn’t create kidney stones. The butterper can is tasty, but it creates kidney stones and it’s not that tasty.
Trust me, you do not want the stones. Buy me a coffee. Dot Com, a slash Daily Comedy News let’s hit gossip corner, People was checking in on Pete Davidson. A source tells People that Pete Davidson is still friends with pretty much all his exes. Nothing bad happened between him and metelinkline just ran its course.
He and Kim Kardashian still talk occasionally. He’s a good guy and they root for him. It’s a new podcast out hosted by bilingual Latin comedians and actors Carmen Lynch, Frince’s Gramos, Carlos Santos, and producer Osco Armando. Thanks for Nothing with the number four in the middle there. It’s an English speaking podcast, but Spanish is always part of the mixes.
They tackle real life topics with humor and honesty. Thanks for Nothing And in Tacoma, police rushed to a local comedy club after a caller reported a stabbing. Oh no, John, this show’s supposed to be fun. What are you doing? Why are you telling us about a stabbing?
The apparent victim Spider Man. John, It’s not funny that Spider Man was stabbed. Stay with me, don’t you know how the podcast works. Nobody was harmed. What officers found was a group of comedians filming a skit, one of whom was dressed as Spider Man.
You see, Spider Man is a fictional character, so there was no way Spider Man was going to be stabbed. He’s not real. Officers responded to the nine hundred block of Market Street a little after nine o’clock. The comedians quickly informed the PD that the stabbing was make believe. One of the comedian said, they all had a good laugh.
Nobody was injured, not even Spider Man. We told him spider Man’s over there, and then he saw a Spider Man perched up on the windowsill in the spidy position. I believe that’s when the officer was very relieved that you’re just seeing some guys in costume and not actual danger. And that is your comedy news for today. Hey, guess what we’re gonna talk about the next couple of days.
Yeah, I’m sorry, we gotta talk about it. It’s a thing. See tomorrow.
