Dave Attell takes the Best Comedy Special of 2024 Title PLUS Does Netflix have a comedy agenda???

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.679
Caloroga Shark Media. Mo Ketchups Baby. I am Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.079
comedy News at Tel was amazing.
We have a new top special at the

3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.079
year. I'll talk about Davi in
a second, but first, two fun

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.440
late night jokes from Jordan Klepper sitting
behind the desk at the Daily Show.

5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.679
The topic, did just see Trump
is selling Bibles? Yeah, look at

6
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.000
the clip on social media. It's
interesting, Klepper said. I know people

7
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.079
will say you're not supposed to mix
the Bible in the Constitution, but we

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.280
have to understand is Trump hasn't read
either one of them. Klepper again,

9
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.320
if we step back and look at
this, Trump is getting into business with

10
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.719
God and that can only mean one
thing. God is gonna end up bankrupt

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.799
and serving a three month prison sentence
for lying under oath. David Tel Hot

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.479
Cross Buns on Netflix is the number
one special of the year, folks.

13
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.399
That's how you do it. It's
like thirty nine minutes joke after joke.

14
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.399
The jokes are set up with mister
Rex. There's no big grand standing,

15
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.239
there's nothing I cancel culture. There
is a joke to which the word trans

16
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.560
is a punchline. It is a
harmless joke. It is funny. That's

17
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.560
how you do it. Everybody.
Now I'm sad here my romance with Triumph

18
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.799
the insult comic dog. You know, he's gonna be so sad what he

19
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.519
sees today's podcast and he finds out
Triumph's not number one anymore. Triumphs number

20
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.640
two. Really strong. But oh
my goodness, Attel showed everybody how it's

21
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.599
done. So I'm glad now that
I'm loving everything, because at the beginning

22
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.200
of the year, I was worried
that you guys are gonna be like,

23
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.920
does this guy even like comedy?
He hates everything? Because we had like

24
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.359
seven specials in a row that didn't
impress me. Now this is two back

25
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.439
to back that I put at the
top of the list. I mean,

26
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.200
great time a tell again the length
and I keep harping about the length Crush

27
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:48.079
and Go Home. I had mentioned
on the other day Brian Simpson special really

28
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.040
strong, but like fifteen minutes too
long? Here Dave Crush get out.

29
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.680
At one point I had taken a
sip of water and I almost for real

30
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.239
spit taked. I laughed so hard. Luckily I didn't spit all over the

31
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.840
TV and the dog sitting there.
That would have been horrible, really really

32
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.480
funny special. It's just pure comedy. This is a master at the top

33
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:13.800
of his game. Watch Dave Attel
Hot Crossbuns on Netflix. Current rankings and

34
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.240
I know we just did these one
David tel two, Triumph three, David

35
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.039
Cross four, Dusty Sleigh five,
Brian Simpson six, Taylor Tomlinson. A

36
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:27.120
big gap between four and five there
and one and two are out pacing three

37
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.400
and four. I have not yet
watched Tig Nataro, and I probably won't

38
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.159
get a chance to. It's gonna
be a few days. I got some

39
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.800
stuff to do now. For all
the twenty minute podcast episodes I've done the

40
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.039
last week, today is a little
less sexy. There's no big news.

41
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.599
Chappelle didn't throw a pie at somebody, Pete Davidson didn't do something crazy.

42
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.120
Kat Williams didn't throw anyone under the
bus. So today is a very workman

43
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.080
like episode of daily Comedy News.
The Podcast Academy had their rewards. I'm

44
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.319
in podcasting. I don't know if
anybody actually cares about these things other than

45
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.280
the people that go these conventions.
I've been in radio wadio for thirty something

46
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.520
years these conventions, it's just like, what are we doing. It's either

47
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.199
like this is weird for me to
say because I've been doing this thirty years.

48
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.879
It's either guys who've been doing it
for forty five years who have lost

49
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.159
a mile off their fastball maybe aren't
in touch with stuff, or newbies.

50
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.479
It's kind of like the people that
are hooking up with hot chicks don't talk

51
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.120
about it. It's like that,
but radio anyway. The Podcast Academy had

52
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.800
awards Johnnie Back, You're a hater, not a hater. I just don't

53
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.240
care. Best Comedy Podcast went to
how did This get made? Congratulations to

54
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.280
Paul Sheer and ging. Jimmy Kimmel
has a new unscripted series greenlit by Hulu.

55
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.639
This is set in a Los Angeles
marijuana dispensary. High hopes good title.

56
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.520
I guess, little Hackey, Which
is it? John? Is it

57
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.719
good or hacky? Can it be
both? Maybe it can't be both.

58
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.080
If I have to pick, it's
hackey. Actually sidebar here. When I

59
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.319
used to travel with Mark says High, who was one of the hosted series

60
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.520
Exam Get the Giggles, we would
start making up NBC shows, and we'd

61
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.800
start with a title like High Hopes
and develop it so the joke would be

62
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.599
because an NBC show will always take
the title and name the character something,

63
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.439
so High Hopes would be like the
story of James Hopes who works at a

64
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:18.399
high school. Like that's what NBC
would do. My favorite one was called

65
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.839
Side Out, which was going to
be about a volleyball player who comes out

66
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.759
of the closet see that there's a
volleyball pun there anyway. High Hopes by

67
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:34.360
Jimmy Kimmel follows Belarus born brothers Slava
and Mishka and their Stone Crew through the

68
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.800
trials and tribulations of taking their cannabis
business to new heights in Hollywood. They

69
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.199
attract a wild mix of weed loving
customers and as a home away from home

70
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.800
for their og employees who work hard
and smoke harder. This season builds to

71
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.199
their biggest day of the year,
four twenty, as Gang attempts to expand

72
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.759
nationwide and release their own top shelf
cannabis brand. Will they find what they're

73
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.959
looking for or their hopescope and smoke? You could tell that I can't wait

74
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.279
for this one. This sounds great. Dan Saint Germain spoke to the eight

75
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.240
hundred Pound Gorilla. He says his
new hour is a hodgepodge of some of

76
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.720
the best stuff I've done the last
couple of years. When I started stand

77
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.240
up again, I kind of quit
for two years, and I started again

78
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.480
two years ago, and then I
had some bits that were on the last

79
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.560
album for eight hundred Pound Gerrilla,
and I kind of got to the two

80
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:16.439
year mark, was like, you
know, I have all these bits that

81
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.759
I have been put in a proper
special, so I figured this is the

82
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.399
time to do it. But I'm
already working on my next hour, and

83
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.160
I feel like in a year or
two I'm gonna have another hour of films.

84
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.240
I just kind of want to put
this stuff together and get it out

85
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.920
there. I kind of subscribe to
the Joan Rivers thing where if it doesn't

86
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.399
work three times, throw it out
and maybe come back to it in a

87
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.639
year or two. But a lot
of times with a bid, eighty five

88
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.319
percent of it a work, and
I'm waiting for that last fifteen percent to

89
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.240
figure it out. It's almost like
seeing a jinga stack and you go,

90
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.240
oh, this is kind of wobbling
on the side, so let me try

91
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.920
and see if I could pull something
out, to push something in that'll help

92
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.879
support a little better and then it
all falls. Dan Saint Germain's special is

93
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:54.240
called The Dance Fatty Dance. You'll
find it on YouTube home At Julie spoke

94
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.399
to the Telegraph. He says Netflix
turned down his recent special, Good Times.

95
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.519
He says it was too hot for
Netflix. There are always issues with

96
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.439
certain things, and some of the
issues are unfair, like what agism.

97
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.680
He says. Netflix considers him not
to be a relevant comedian right now.

98
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.079
He asked them what constitutes relevant to
the moment, and Jelily says he was

99
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.600
told anything black and transgender, send
your letters to Oma. Jelily, I'm

100
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:23.319
not sure that's fair. For example, David tel not black, not transgender,

101
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.199
watched it last night, Julily says. At a time when events in

102
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.639
the Middle East dominate the news,
he finds Netflix not finding him relevant to

103
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.959
be astounding. He says, Netflix
says, we're trying to get everyone,

104
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.240
and yet I don't see hardly anybody
who's Middle Eastern Iranian. They don't give

105
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.720
us a voice. I'm very strong
about this because I don't think they've got

106
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.279
it right. I think the mainstream
does want to know. They do want

107
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.319
to hear it. Julie is working
on a new tour called Not a Stay,

108
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.079
in which Israel Gaza will be one
of the main topics. Is he

109
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.319
worried about getting caught between both sides? He says, yes, it's tricky,

110
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.959
but I'm of an age where I've
ceased to care. The threat of

111
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.879
being canceled doesn't phase him. He
says, I was actually canceled after nine

112
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.720
to eleven, just for existing case
you're curious. In the context of the

113
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.279
nine to eleven comment, he is
of a running descent and he is not

114
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.680
Muslim. He says. He had
won the two thousand and one Time Out

115
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.519
Comedy Award. He was booked to
play a gig on September thirteenth. I

116
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.079
rang my manager and said the gig, I presume not going ahead. Manager

117
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.839
said, oh, they are,
but they don't want you. My kids

118
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.120
say, when did you become an
authority on this? Who the hell do

119
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.720
you think you are? Jim Brewer
was on OutKick the show. Here's a

120
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.000
clip. I had a radio show
for a while, and one of the

121
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.800
greatest moments on my radio show was
there was a call with Joe would come

122
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:40.279
on and he he someone tried to
say some Nonstan nonsense that Joe called him

123
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.759
out. It was epic. And
then the other time is he called in

124
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.800
and it was one of the greatest
moments I heard, not just in radio

125
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:55.839
history, in history where he came
from this deep conversation. It was like

126
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.399
from another it was like he was
being channeled and he was talking about the

127
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.680
times that we're going into and it's
either we're gonna spew the truth, truth

128
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.800
of vera, everything's truth, and
if you don't come with the truth,

129
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:15.360
he's gonna be exposed because no longer
we living in the world where we're gonna

130
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.360
accept the liars. They're like leeches. It was pretty profound, it was

131
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.120
pretty powerful, and something that never
forgotten really inspired me. So Joe Rogan's

132
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.480
been a badass for a long time. Bruce said, if you look at

133
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.120
a guy like Shane Gillis, if
he was saying what he said just two

134
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.360
years ago, it'd be like,
oh my god, how dare you?

135
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.440
How dare you say some of these
things? And that was a guy that

136
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.399
was canceled from SNL and now he's
hosting the damn thing. You know,

137
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.519
maybe we should lighten up a little
bit either way. If anything, I

138
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.679
think the woke, ah, we're
not allowed to talk about that. In

139
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.360
the moments Dying tremendously show me the
comedian that it talks about being woke for

140
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.759
an hour. That's selling out theater
as an arenas it doesn't exist. So

141
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.679
yeah, we're learning to laugh again. It'd common sense. Now pay attention

142
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.399
to what Jolly just said. Here's
what Brewer said. I was talking to

143
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.000
Netflix and one of the guys in
development was like, Jim, I'm a

144
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.759
huge fan of you. They're not
in the business of white guys that are

145
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.200
over the age of forty, and
they're not gonna be And that's when I

146
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.039
was like, ah, so that's
what the world they are committed to.

147
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.519
It doesn't matter if it's funny.
You got to be this color or that

148
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.399
color, or that sexuality or that
country under this thing in order for us

149
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.519
to put our spotlight on. And
that's not comedy. That's you trying a

150
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.360
piece of society that you're trying to
create. Again. I watched David Till

151
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.080
last night. David Till is a
fifty nine year old comedian from Queens,

152
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.919
New York. I don't know too
much about his growing up or ancestry.

153
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.240
But looks like a white dude to
me, so I don't know. Brewers

154
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.159
said, this was a slow process
that started a long time ago. In

155
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.320
the work world, those in charge
would be like, well, if you're

156
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.320
this color and you get this kind
of grade, sorry, we have to

157
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.919
go with this type of person,
even though the grades fifteen points lower.

158
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.600
It was slowly put in a culture
and before we knew it. Boom,

159
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.399
it's in entertainment. Boom, it's
in government when your government's trying to force

160
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:56.320
you to a certain agenda. That's
called communism, socialism, dictatorship. Jim

161
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.879
continued, how dare you say that? Well? Wrong? The Facebook group

162
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.919
has been super active lately. Hey, Dylan, I appreciate all the stuff

163
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.440
you're doing in the air. Feel
encouraged to join us Daily Comedy News podcast

164
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.480
group. It'll give you a quick
timeout for me to prove you. We

165
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.039
just want to make sure you're not
a pornbot. If you are a pornbot,

166
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.320
I prefer Brunette's, so that'll probably
get you proved a little quicker.

I'm recording on the twenty seventh. You're

170
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.559
listening on the twenty eighth, So
on Australia it's the twenty ninth, which

171
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.679
means it's Friday night. Good night
for comedy. Should be a ton of

172
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.799
shows. Let's look loading loading loading. World's slowest site is loading. This

173
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.639
is not an edit. It's still
loading loading loading. Come on, I

174
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.120
like this title Lord of the Zings
a Keyweking comedy showcase. That's great.

175
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.960
Winner Breakthrough Comedian twenty twenty one New
Zealand Comedy Guild Awards. Last Load of

176
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.080
the Rings movie came out in two
thousand and three, and these News z

177
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.320
Eland comedians are still riding that wave. They don't have a single joke about

178
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.840
hobbits, dragons, or really any
opinions on the works of Peter Jackson.

179
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.799
They're just using this as a marketing
ploy. Love it no clip, but

180
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.960
I love it all right. Randy
Dava, Hello players, says there's a

181
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.799
clip here, you know, from
yesterday's podcast. Just because it says there's

182
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.720
a clip doesn't mean there's a clip. Let's see, Well, there was

183
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.039
a clip, but it had a
ton of f BOMs in its ivory too.

184
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.039
Armed with lyrical rhymes and nasty beats, Randy will have his chance to

185
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.159
truly express himself using the one approach
he knows best hip hop comedy. The

186
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:37.919
age says elicits uproarious laughter. Did
chat jpt write that? Here's another one

187
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.879
with no clip, but it's Ruby
Tay's dog Seaword. Such a title sea

188
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.600
word, the hard sea word dog
seaword. Yikes. Now this show contains

189
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:54.519
drug references, strong course language,
nudity and sudden loud noises nudity. What

190
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.720
is going on? I don't think
that shows for me. I may not

191
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.840
like nudity, but not like missing
nudity with my comedy. You know,

192
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.480
Mo Gilligan is playing a Philly tonight, Tomorrow and Saturday. It'll be at

193
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.559
the punchline. Moe says. When
I grew up watching stand up, I

194
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.320
was watching people like Dave Chappelle,
Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy. So there's

195
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.000
always part of me that wanted to
perform state side. It's the biggest market

196
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.480
in the entertainment world, so you
want to be a success there America is

197
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.440
a different terrain. It's a bigger
place where you can have comedy shows from

198
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.159
Monday to Sunday and you can have
a busy room every night. And fortunately,

199
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.440
in the UK comedy is usually a
weekend culture. There aren't as many

200
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.159
comedy clubs midweek if there was,
when we have a network and perform with

201
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.679
each other, we just don't have
the infrastructure of having many comedy clubs in

202
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.080
the UK. It's much more competitive
out there in the States. If you

203
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.480
go to the comedy Store in la
there's like nine comics on the main bill

204
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.360
and even more before that, whereas
in the UK there's about three. I

205
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.440
think my accent helps the most.
Once they get on stage, they say,

206
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.840
this guy's come all the way from
London. He's got a Netflix special.

207
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.240
Welcome to the stage. Mo Gill
again ears prickup and they want to

208
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.960
listen to this guy who's coming from
London. That's what I like about the

209
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.679
States. If they see I've come
all the way from somewhere to the comedy

210
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.600
store, they sit up a bit
more and like, ah, I want

211
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.919
to check this guy out. He's
not from here. He must be funny

212
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.000
that he is your comedy news for
today. If you enjoy the program,

213
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.039
tell a friend about it. They
might like it too. Tell Triumph,

214
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.559
tell a Tell, tell them you're
listening. I don't know what I want

215
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.279
from you. I'm just babbling.
See tomorrow.
